North Carolina Friday, Septemb 1929 25,000 Former North Carolinians Invited for Home-Coming Week Makes Hole in One Celebration to Be Held in Con nection with State Fair at Raleigh, Oct. 12-19 Personal invitations are being sent to 25,000 former North Carolinians, to attend the State home-coming cel ebration from October 12, to 19, both in Raleigh and their home communi ties, by Governor Gardner and the Committee on Homecoming Putteritis New Disease Takes Town by Storm and Dimes by the Handful If you can’t find Hubby ia his of fice; if Johnnie doesn’t come back for j an hour from that errand you sent I him on; if there’s no one to wait on btate Week. The names for the mailing list of former North Carolinians has been furnished by people in all parts of the State, to the Department of Conserva tion and Development. Col. J. W. Har- relson, head of the department, said the other day that, if necessary, more invitations would be printed, and he urged the people of the State to continue to send the names of their friends who have moved away to his department. It is estimated that there are 142,000 former Carolinians now living in other states. The invitation being sent out reads as follows: 'The Governor of North Carolina and the General Assembly of North Carolina, through the State Home- Coming Committee, cordially invite (name of person to whom the invita tion is sent, to visit his native State and county, during the period of Oc tober 12 to 19, 1929, and to partici pate in his county celebration on Oc tober 12, and to attend the dedication of the New North Carolina State Fair during the week of October 13 to 19.” The invitation is signed by Governor O. Max Gardner, as chairman, and Josephus Daniels, vice-chairman of the home-coming committee and chair man of the invitation committee. Message from Governor With the invitation is being sent a pamphlet, explaining the home-com ing program. This pamphlet opens with a message from the Governor, which reads as follows: “North Carolinians returning to their native State after an absence of even a few years will find, besides a warm welcome, much that is of last ing interest. Perhaps no State in the American Union has changed more in the past decade. In addition to the remarkable industrial progress which has been witnessed, there has been an almost equally striking advance ment in education and highway con struction. From a rural neighborhood in which illiteracy and poverty played their inevitable roles, the State has become a close-knit community of prosperous industrial enterprise, bet ter farms, and fast-growing towns and cities. . “North Carolinians seeking the wid- you in the department store, there’s a reason. Everybody has Putteritis. Putteritis is very infectious. ■ jloma Charles brought the germ to town, and all the folks have been catching it. It is unlike most diseases. Other diseases you catch outside and then rush to the drug store to curp them. This one you catch in the drug store, and have to rush out for the cure. Most of those who have it rush out only when their dimes are exhaust ed. We don’t know what they call the new golf game in the Fox Drug store, but it’s played with a putter and a golf ball, and we might as v.^ell call it Putteritis as anything. You pay a dime for ten balls, and shoot at holes until you’ve exhausted your dime’s worth. There’s a game going on there at all times of day and un til closing time at night. The best score made so far is 38. 'I'he best possible score is 45. George Wells, down at Pinebluff, has some unique examples of the printers’ art, two and three and four color jobs printed on a small hand press and turned out with exception al exactitude. it ^ ' To House 80 Dogrs in New Allen Kennels Model Plant for Pointers Under Construction on Tract Near Pinehurst Halbert J.

One is the new church off to the left near the school house, which is to be another of the striking structures of Pine hurst, and the other is the establish- mant that Samuel G. Allen, of New York, is creating on the twenty-acre tract he recently bought near tke home of Col. Hawes. The first work Mr. Allen is undertaking is produc tion of a plant that will care for a large group of kannels for his pointer dogs. The building will involve about 150 feet of construction, 80 feet of which will be the stalls and kennels for the dogs, adjoining a bungalow 30 by 40 to house the manager, and a garage in connection with four stalls, the entire outfit being a con tinuous assembly. Along with the elaborate building project an acre of run will be en closed for the dogs in addition to the kennel stalls. The buildings will be of the most modern type, and of a high class of construction, set back 400 friends of the young couple of the marriage of Lydia Lee Bobbitt, daughter of W. T.

Advance in Motion Picture Art Shown on Screen at Carolina Pilot Reporter Finds Colorization and Sound Reproduction Good as the Real Thing By Simon Spoopju Charlie Picquet made the second pronounced advance of the year last week when he presented his show in Southern Pines with the colors natural instead of the plain black and w^hite of the old time photograph. Last March he introduced the spoken show with his pictures, and this trip he put the show into its natural colors, and both times he preceded any others in his territory, and most others in other places. Charlie Picquet gets up in the moi’ning while the crowd is asleep. He has not yet attained to what he will accomplish, for every day the FOX HUNTERS MUST HAVE LICENSE, SAYS WARDEN screen world is going forward, but it est outlet for their abiliies and cap- is interesting to see the progress he ial find it in their own State. Young men need no longer leave North Car olina in search of opportunity. “Home-Coming Week, provided for by the last General Assembly, ap peals to me as a happy and signifi cant occasion. It affords us an op portunity to which we have long look ed forward to welcome home again those North Carolinia|is who have moved away and become citizens of other states. Their joy at returning cannot be deeped than our joy at having them back.” Observance of Home-Coming has is making. The visitor to the theater Saturday night had little trouble in satisfying himself that he was sitting in front of a stage habited by live people instead of the colored shadows of the camera, and the curious speech and song of the talking machine. If he forgot himself the whole world about him was perfactly natural, ex cept perhaps some of the scenes, as for instance, the cotton field, where the artificial negro picked cotton with humorous cotton bales lying by the edge of the cotton field.

With the Blue house across the road soon to begin its landscape work the two places conspicuous on the summit of the ridge, are coming to the front in striking prominence. These are two of the fine homes of the Knollwood devel opment and with the fourth Olmstead house to be started soon just north of them that neighborhood will be a pretty good exhibit of pleasant homes. Herbert Vail’s house farther out Crest road is showing good growth in its shrubbery, and just beyond Mrs. Hogg’s new house will further increase the interest on that road. The Rountree house on the Midland road, over the hill in the Pinehurst direc tion, is now well along to indicate its plan and shape. Fox hunters are required under the law to purchase hunting li censes for indulging in any form of taking this animal. State Game Warden C. H. England announced Monday. License blanks and buttons are in the hands of wardens in every county of the State, according to the State Warden, who declared that fox hunters apprehended with out licenses will be subject to pros ecution. This provision, he explain ed, applies to those hunting foxes with dogs as well as by other means. In anticipation of a greater de mand for hunting licenses this year because of new license pro visions made by the General As sembly, including combination hunt ing and trapping, guide’s, ard trapping, 312,000 buttons and blanks have been prepared for this season. With the approach of the open season on a number of species of game, wardens have been instructed by the State Warden to enforce vigorously the season regulations. Scores of prosecutions are being conducted over the State for viola tions, the Warden said. Squirrel season is the first to open, the op ening date being September 15 in the west and October 15 in the east. Other seasons open at inter vals through the fall and until No vember 20 when the major season comes in full sway. a home for Mr. Allen at a later date. Col.

His dogs are among the best bred in the country. He will house in the neighborhood of eighty to a hun dred at the new place, raising young stock and taking an active hand in the field work of the neighborhood. The place will be another of those inter esting features that continue to in crease around Pinehurst, and help to broaden the attractiveness of the Sandhills for the winter visitors who come this way for amusement and sport.

Artistic Triumph The spectacle was artistic. It called to mind of some of the old rounders of “Black Crook” days when the transformations were the climax of spectacular achievement. But “Black Crook” was a staging of living actors. The show Saturday night was a pic ture again, and a picture that could bo duplicated for theaters all over the world. That’s the strong lead the pic ture show has. The perfection it is achieving indicates that in not very long time most of the small towns as well as the big ones will have mov ing photographs of any pretentious thing shown on any stage. This thing Charlie offered was given in New I ress. York a few days ago at $2.50 a seat. In Southern Pines you got five seats for that money and the same show. It was even a little more for you had the addition of Charlie’s cordial smile, which is worth a lot, and all around were your friends and neighbors and that makes these things friendly af fairs. One thing about this advance in the production of pictures is that it makes the theater man scrape the bot tom of the flour barrel, for every time some big innovation comes along he has to throw out all the old stuff. You can’t make a talking picture with a silent outfit. A picture show in the Sandhills is like any other growing thing. It has to throw out yesterday’s equipment when tomor row’s inventions present something that is newer. It’s like raising a fam ily. Little Willie outgrows his trous ers and mother notifies you that he must have a new pair. One of the interesting phases of the show last week was the remark able perfection the voice reproduc tion is accomplishing. The sychroni- zation of speech and action have be come so accurate that discrepancies, if any occur, are no longer noticed. But with that accounted for the tone and the control have made equal prog -1 ♦♦ * NOTICE We are now getting ready to open a bargain store next door to our main store in the Hatch wholesale building.
