M’KEITHEN HEADSSTUDENT AID FOUNDATION jSew Eleemosynary Corporation Elects Officers to Conduct Educational Fund FOUR NOTABLES AT SOUTHERN PINES COUNTRY CLUB STARTED BY KIWANIS Edwin T. McKeithen of Atverdeen was elected president of the newly organized ivicoie County Educational Foundation, Incorporated, at the first meeting of directors since the organi- 7i;tion was perfected, held Wednesday at the Community House in Pinehurst. Dr. J. W. Dickie of Southern Pines was elected' vice-president*, Richard S. Tufts of Pinehurst, treasurer and Alurdoch M. Johnson of Aberdeen, sec- rt rr. cy. This foundation is the outgrrovvth :.f an activity undertaken a few years ago by the Kiwanis Club of Aberdeen when it interested itself in lending fi- rencial support to worthy boys and jjivls for the purpose of pursuing edu cational courses, A small fund was established and to this ajdditions have r>een mad3 each year. The total at this time is $2,567.00, all of which is be ing used. Loans amounting to $3,650.- 00 have been made. Of this amount $1,083.00 have been p^i<i. These loans , have been distnbuted among thirty young people who could not have continued their school work, continued their school work without the help of some such agency. In 1929, the Kiwanis Club recogniz ing the splendid results of this effort and: the gr^at need for a larger fund and one which should be placed on a more permanent basis, determined upon the formation of the present organization. Therefore the Moore Cow ty Educational Foundation was iricovp* vuted under the laws of the State of North Carolina as an eleem osynary corporation, and has had de- Jived to it the loan fund heretofore fidministered by the Kiwanis Club of Aberdeen. Managed by Board The affairs of the Foundation are manag^ed by a board of directors of seven men, all of whom are at present members of the Kiwanis Club. The term of one director expires each year nnd the successor is chosen by the itmaining six directors. Vacancies oc- ■;i'rring otherwise are filled likewise. Besides the usual corporate officers, there are committees to make close investigation of all applications, to fa miliarize applicants with methods of ?tlf-help, to follow up. and keep in touch with those to whom loans have bten made. No loan can be made with out the approval of the board of di- lectors and without the written rec ommendation of two reputable citi zens outside the directorate board. At the time loans are mad'e, the bor rower executes a note in which is stated the terms of the loan. Interest ip not charged until completion of the Course, at which time there begins an interest rate of six per cent, per an- I num. A condition of all notes provides that paymenits shall begin three months after completion of course. As already stated, the purpose of the Foundation is to lend money to worthy boys and girls. To meet the needs the fund must be augmented. It is realized there are individuals who have neither time nor opportunity to search out worthy applicants for aid but who would like to use some reliable agency for such a purpose. With the thought of interesting others ivi the founda.tion has been made a permanent corporate organization, to 1’S‘ise and loan the necessary funds.

The State total was '66,787 bales as against 869,248 the year before. The tobacco sales in North Caro Ima, for the 152 warehouses opera ting during the past 1929-30 season, mounted to 481,456,650 pounds bought from the farmers and total sales, ?ncludin? resale*:, amounted to 584, 110,281 pounds. The average pi ice was S18.40 per hundredweight. State-Federal Departments of Agri culture figures for the entire season show the foIlowi Tg- for the local mar kets: Aberdeen—Two wa’ehouses; pro ducers’ sales, 3,363, 542; lbs. dealers’ resales, 147,482 lbs.; total, 3,808,536 lbs; averr.ge price, ‘29-30, $16.30 a hundred; average, 1928-29, Si891; -ales previous year, 3,995,019.

These figures show that whereas Aberdeen sales fell off over the pre vious sf .son, Carthage and Sanford both increased. Sanford’s price was better than a year ago, whereas both Aberdeen and Carthage averaged less. Aberdeen’s average was lower than either. The average for the Old Bright Belt was $18.10, with Aberdeen’s f.verage $16.30. The range in this belt was from $14.20 at Madison to $21.65 at Mebane. The season’s sales were less than 1 per cent below the previous year’s while the average price of $18.78 for lf^28-29 was slightly higher than the season just closed. In spite of the ad verse weather conditions in the New Bright Belt, type 12, the prices there were higher than either of the South Carolina or Old Bright Belt. In fact, the prices of the Old Belt, averaging $13.40, were extremely disappointing. The South Carolina Belt averaged SI 7.17, while the eastern New Belt averaged $18.94. The previous season (1928-29) showed the Old Bright Belt with an average of ?18.15 for approximately 160,000,000 pounds of fanners’ to bacco. The New flue-cured Belt mar- !

Hotels and cottages are jammed for ; the various events, and there is every I indication that both the women’s I tournament and equestrian exhibition will break all preceding records for number of entries and for excitement ' and general interest. Next Saturday, to top off the busy | week, combes the annual team match, : Pinehurst vs. All-South, the teams made up from those who will be here for the 30th annual United North and South Open tournament for men the iollowing week. So there is plenty ahead for the 1 crowds here to do and see. The above events will be followed by the 12th annual United North and South ten- nis tournament, which takes on an j added importance this year in that the American Davis Cup committee is i sending the candidiates for the U. S. | team here as part of the preliminary i steps toward picking the team to send , in quest of the international trophy | which France now holds. America’s i best will be seen in action on the Pinehurst Country Club courts from April 14th through April 19th, The Sandhills season is at its height now and continues so until May, with many enjoying the balmy spring weather of this section even later.

Holbrook of Fort Brag«’ heads the list of boxholders for the thirteenth annual Horse Show of the Pinehurst Jockey club, which trkes place Apvil 1 and 2 in the ring iit Pinehurst race track.

Southern Pines is giving a helping hand with the show, which promises to draw a very large attendance. James G. Marshall of New York, who has judged the national shows and others throughout this country and abroad for many years, has been secured to judge the saddle classes this year, while Louis Haight of New York, another well known judge, will pass upon the entries in the hunting, jumping and polo classes. Dr. G. B. Giltner of Pinehurst will judge the harness and running horses, and the military classes w’ill be jud ged by the commanding officer at Fort Bragg. The show will be held in the ring near the race track which ha.s been put in excellent condition, surrounded by boxes for spectators. Luncheons and tea will be served by local organizations of women orr both days. Many horses from New York and distant points are entered in this year’s event as well as the cream of of the many stables here and in near by cities, and there is every indica tion that this year’s show will eclipse all its predecessors in quality, num ber of entries and public interest. The list of boxholders includes also Mr, and Mrs. J. V. Hurd, Pitts- ' burgh; Mr. and Mrs. W, H. Watt, East Orange , Mr. and Mrs, H. M.

Tickets are c.ne sale by all members of the Ki wanis Club and at the Broad Street Prahmacy in Southern Pines and the Fox Drug store in Aberdeen. One woman is under arrest, a man cccomplics under .surveillance and the l^olice on the track of the man whose name is said to be Hobson as the re sult of work of the State Highway Patrol, sheriff’s office and local po lice since the shooting of Highway Pa trolman High on the road between Aberdeen and Pinehurst less than a fortnight ago. Hobson is wanted for the actual shooting; the others are said to be mixed up with the bootleg gang which was busted up when Of ficer High apprehended a car full of liquor and paid the price of legal in terference with a bullet hole. Secrecy has shaxled the police ef forts toward “getting their man” but it is known that the gang is being rapidly rounded up, and that Hobson’s freedom will be short-lived. The wounded highway patrolman is recov ering.
