A Nasii sedan bearing a Pennsyl vania licence, occupied by the group, all negroes, was struck by a Norfolk ^ -uthern train with such force that tl-e ^ar wa-5 entirely demolished at a ; oint w’hcre the railroad and highway 1- Lite Xo. 50 cross on Poplar street h‘*’e. The occupa.its of the car were trav- c-Mng from Philadelphia, where they had been at work all summer, back to their home in Georgia, when the acci dent occurred. The trair was a double-header freight with 53 cars, and was detour- ing by way of Aberdeen from Raleigh to Star, on account of a burned Vridge betw^een Star and Raleigh. The engines had made a fast start in or der to make the grade, and struck the car with such force that it was shoved some 200 yards. The little girl v/as throw’n clear and died almost in stantly, the father was terribly man gled and died soon after being car ried to the Moore County hospital at Pinehurst. The mother died Monday morning. The bodies were cared for in a 1« cal undertaking establishment, and were shipped to Sparta, Georgia, early Wednesday morning for burial. Pinehurst Scouts to Build 3-Acre Lake Treat ’Em Rough! Hudson Tries This Method of Wife Control, but it Fails to Work Treat ’em rough, is Robert Hud son’s rule for controlling a wife, but it doesn’t always work. Robert had served time on the roads for failing to support his wife proper- ly, and she had told him that she would not live with him any more. But Robert was not quite satisfied with the situation. He went to wifey’s mother’s, where she was staying, to try to persuade her to return. Upon her refusal, Robert proceeded to slap her down, now Judge Humber of the Recorder’s Court rules that Robert shall go back to the roads to spend four months, and perhaps, in that time, he can work out some better plans for wife-control. PLANS MADE FOR TOBACCO MARKET OPENING HERE Chamber of Commerce Backing Movement to Interest Growers in Selling Here BOTH HOUSES TO OPERATE Will Launch His Campaign at Carthage SEABOARD GOLF PLAYERS ENJOY LOCAL COURSES Departed with Songs of Praise for Southern Pines and Its People ANNOUNCE PRIZE WINNERS Brotherhood Class to Sponsor Erection of Shack with Com fortable Quarters Nearby The Boy Scout Council of Pinehurst this week closed a contract with Joe Fuller to build a large dam across a stream north of Pinehurst border ing on the land of Tom Veno. They hope to have a lake of about three acres. The site for this lake is about mile from Pinehurst in a most beau tiful and picturesque setting. The Pinehurst scout troops are very enthusiastic at present. Frank Mc- - askill is scout master and Hubert McCasklil is first assistant. Ralph v.’allace of the Pinehurst school fac ulty will be here within the next few days. He has had a great deal of scout experience and will be glad to assist ?fout master McCaskill. W. G. Which- ard of the Pinehurst school faculty is slso interested in scouting. Some weeks ago John F. Taylor, president of the local scout council, appointed E. B. Keith, A. B. Sally f^rid Gordon Cameron a committee of three to locate an ideal site for a ^cout lake. This committee finally se- ^ cted the site where the dam is to he built by Mr. Fuller. The land be longs to Pinehurst, Inc., who has agreed to deed it to the local scout council. Pinehurst Brotherhoon thinks ihat it is such an ideal site for a lake that they propose to supervise the building of a scout shack. It is i=nderstood that a committee frorti the Brotherhood is at work drawing up 1 Ians for this shack. This shack will l‘iiVe sleeping quarters, dining room &nd kitchen and will be used when the couts go out to the lake for an over night hike. For three days the Seaboard golf ers battled their w^ay over the greens of the Southern Pines Country Club for the prizes of their Fourth An nual Tournament and once more the members of this unique organization have departed with a song of praise for Southern Pines, its people, and its hospitality. Early arrivals began com ing in Thursday evening, through the play did not commence until Satur day morning, and by nightfall of the 30th, headquarters, the Parkview, was crowded with members of the Associa tion, many of whom accepted Charlie Picquet’s generous compliment to be his guests for the showing of ^‘Queen High.” Eighty-eight entries made a com plicated score card which Alfred Grover figured in faultless style though it kept him busy right up to h alp-past five Monday afternoon. Chief among the numerous prizes were twelve silver cups the most in- i tercsting being the President’s, tak en by W. H. Bunkley, of Norfolk, w'ho became third winner of President Powell’s gift with a low gross score of 351 for 72 holes. The Champion ship cup was won by C. E. Gatlin, of Great Falls, S. C. The silver cup giv en by Vice-President Capps of the Seaboard for low net score was award ed to R. P. Bunting, Jr., of Norfolk, Va., with a net score of 296 for 72 holes. Cups went to winners of the first six flights, number one to C. W. Small, number two to E. E. Gaden, number three to Wallace Smith, num ber four to J. H. Gill, number five tc G. C. Poole and number six to C. H. Sauls. The qualifying medalist, W. D. Simpson of Savannah, with an 84 also won a silver cup, while prizes went to H. C. Laird, winner of the putting contest, and George Blake, winner of the driving contest. In departing B. C. Prince, president of the Golfers, said that they had made so many friends, and had been accorded such courteous treatment that it was almost impossible to say more than thanks, but that kind words were especially due Mrs. Flaschlaen- der and Miss Wallie of the Parkview and the management of the Country Club. At a meeting of the Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce held on Tues day afternoon of this week plans were laid for the further promotion of the Abei’Heen Tobacco Market for thi& season. The Pilot is going to be asked to get out one of its annual tobacca num bers for distribution among all of the tobacco farmers throughout this and adjoining sections, in addition to its regular mailing list. All of the tobacco territory within a radius of oO miles of Aberdeen has been sec tioned off and the tobacco farmers in these sections will all be visited be tween now and the opening of the tobacco market here, with a view of renewing interest in the Aberdeen market. The B. B. Saunders Warehouse will be going at full blast again. Mr. Saun ders already has a large part of his corps of workers here, and he says that he will be in position to render the farmers better service than ever before. Edwards, Lewis & Williams, who operated the Aberdeen Warehouse last year, will again operate it. They made thousands of friends among the tobacco farmers during last year, and no doubt will make many more during the approaching season. They have the reputation of having sold on their South Carolina floor more tobacco for each year during the past eight years than was sold on any other warehouse floor in that state. Messrs. Edwards, Williams and Harrington will be here from the date of the opening on. Mr. Lewis will join them as soon as the South Carolina market closes. All signs point to the very biggest year that the Aberdeen Market has ever had. 1 Jl JOSIAH W.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS ARE PROGRESSING RAPIDLY The work of improving the streets in Southern Pines is progressing rap idly, and the contractors .are about ready to apply the finishing touches. Conhecticut Avenue, from May street to East Broad, and Cross street leav ing Bennett are completely oiled and gravelled, while Ashe street and New York avenue have received the first coating. One block of Massachusetts avenue is yet to receive.the primary oiling, and the oiled streets will then need onlji. to be gravelled and rolled before the work will be complete. The Pinehurst Public schools will cpen Monday morning, September 8, with W. P. Morton as superintendent. The Pinehurst schools have made won derful progress during the last few years. Their growth and development has been very gratifying to the pa trons and friends of the school. All of the newly elected teachers are college graduates with A certi ficates.

PINEHURST POSTOFFICE LEASE TO BE RENEWED The Post Office Department an nounced last week that it will renew the lease on the present quarters at Pinehurst for a period of five years. This property is owned by Miss Myrtle O. Taylor and is located at the corner of Dogw“ood Road and Market Square. The lease expires on September 16 and will'be renewed as of that date. Heating and lighting fixtures, as well as heat and light, are to be furnished by the lessee. The Aberdeen Methodist Ladies will have a Missionary meeting Monday afternoon, Sept. 8th at 3:00. The Annual 4-H Club Camp for the boys of Moore County was held last week at the Country Life Academy, Star. Seventeen boys and two girls from this county were enrolled for the camp. We were joined in this meeting by the Home and Farm Agents of Lee County and the Farm Agent of Montgomery county, their attendance bringing the total enroll ment up to 48 boys and girls. Through the courtesy of Dr. Green, President of the school, we were able to use their buildings and equipment, without whcih we could hardly hav^ made the camp a success this year. For classes we were able to get some good help from the State Col lege and where this was not possible, local help was worked in. For convenience of handling and to create spirit, the Campers were divid ed into four different groups. In these formations they attended classes and assembled for meals and recreation. Classes were given in First Aid, Field Crops, Plant and Tree Identifi cation, Livestock Judging and Poul try, with a general lecture on some subject of interest to the children from eleven to twelve o’clock. At the end of the camp the four Group Leaders were asked to pick out the most outstanding Campers in their groups. Out of these 10 classes as Star Cam,pers, Moore County won five places. Out of the ten Star Campers two Medal Campers were selected and Moore County won both, these honors going to Miss Margaret McLean, Cameron the most outstanding and best all-round camper among the girls, and Ralph Bryant, near White Hill, as the most outstanding and best all round camper among the boys. This is an honor which we should feel very proud of. A motion is now on foot to locate a permanent camp in the county, which it is hoped can be done before another year. Several have already ex pressed their 'villingness to help in any way possible to put this thing across. SUNDAY SERVICES Services will be held at the Pres byterian Church this Sunday morning and evening. The Rev. E. L. Barber w liltake for his subject Sunday morn ing, “Waiting For The Dawn.” The Senior Choir will sing Sunday morning and the Junior Choir in the evening. The hours are 11:15 and 8:00. Every one is cordially invited to attend. Hundreds of Friends and Rela- tivse Gather at Old Union and Pay Tribute By Bion H. Butler Friday of last week the friends and neighbors of Pad Kelly gathered at old Union church to look at the old citizen as he reached the end of his first 76 years. I don’t know what Pad Kelly’s other name is. The preach ers called him Brother Kelly. Some of the folks called him Mr. Kelly, but the old timers called him Pad, as has been the custom for the last thirty years that I have known him, and w^ith me that name goes as it lays, as they used to say out west in my younger days. Pad Kelly is now past 76 years old, which is pretty good evidence that years are not a good ’init in the measurement of time, for Angus McQueen had the temerity to say he hoped for another 26 years for this good old scout, and the man who has yet 26 years to go is not so old as some of the rest of us who are not yet as old as he is. However, this persiflage is merely on the side, and a bit of banter with an old friend, for I count myself in Pad Kelly’s list of friends because the whole world that knows him are in cluded in that group. At Union church stands a long table under the oak trses. When noon arrived the three or four hundred people who had gath ered there stood up to dinner, for the habit in that quarter is still to eat dinner, and to eat it as the sun is highest in the heaven, and of the substantial types of food that the neighborhood produces in abundance. And after dinner the folks went into the church and filled it. Ministers Pay Tributes Rev. C. A. Lawrence, formerly a New' York man, is the pastor of Un ion, and he seems to be a fitting rep resentative of that bunch who have held the name of that ancient sanc tuary high among the people of the community. He talked a bit about “Brother” Kelly. The Rev. “Make” McNeill, another of the fathers in Israel, said a word about Pad. He also brought in the connection of the man with the church, and told his hearers that Union church has play ed a part in the development and moulding of the civilization and prog ress that are manifest. “Union church,” he said, “is a landmark of church development, and of the stal wart character of this people.” And he associated the development of the community, and the folks like the Kelleys and all the rest of the people round about with the development un der the influences of Union church and the wholesomeness of its teach ings of uprightness and humanities. Boys together were Kelly and Mc Neill^ companions they are today, ty pical of the substantial touch of the habit of life that has grown with the advances of this rural life ^nd its contact with the doctrine of the old shrine. The Rev. Angus McQueen, brought up in the Union church where his father is almost synonomous with the church of the older day, confessed to being a kinsman of Pad Kelly, yet without hesitation he spoke of the man’s character, a character devel oped through all the hell of war, re- GAME REFUGE IS ESTABLISHED IN MOORE AND LEE State Obtains Five-Year Lease on Thousands of Acres which it Will Stock with Game PLAN AROUSES INTEREST One of the interesting recent devel opments in this section of the State is a “State Game Refuge,” which promises to make of Moore and Lee counties within the next few years a veritable Nimrod’s paradise. The idea of this refuge for breed ing game originated in the mind of Alex Fields, County Game Warden, and he has been working on the scheme for about a year, with the result that he has succeeded in in teresting the State Department of Conservation and Development, and plans are now materializing rapidly. The sole purpose in mind is to pro vide better hunting for the sportsmen of this section. Several thousand acres of land ly ing about half and half in Moore and Lee counties have been chosen, and the property owners are taking much interest and cooperating splend idly. They are giving the State a five-year lease on this vast territory end signing Contracts not to hunt there during this period. Only four or five families live in this area. Others along the border are mani festing atn interest in the project and desire to have a part in it. The State will stock this refuge with tur keys, deer and pheasants, and will protect the game during the time of its lease. This particular territory was select ed on account of its suitability. It is cut over land and is said to be the best turkey range in the State. Quail are plentiful, too. In the past, it has ranked high as deer hunting ground, end the promoters of the refuge have hopes of seeing within the next two or three years several hundred deer, turkeys, pheasants and quail ranging there and distributing themselves throughout the Deep River valleys and adjacent territory. The first shipment of game is expected to arrive this week. V^ass-Lakeview Schools Hold Formal Opening Prominent Speakers Are Heard by Record-breaking Number of Pupils and Patrons The formal opening of the Vass- Lakeview Schools for the 1930-’31 term was held on Tuesday morning with a record-breaking number of pu pils and patrons present for the sev eral addresses. Superintendent McCrummen wel comed the visitors and presented the- Rev. G. B. Starling, who conducted the devotionals and extended to the faculty a most cordial welcome to the churches of the town. Interesting talks by Dr. D. N. McLauchlin of Nor folk, County Superintendent cf Schols H. Lee Thomas and W. D. Matthews, a former principal, fhen followed. Mr. McCrummen is well pleased with the outlook for the year’s work. Already 363 children have been en rolled, 80 of whom are in the high school. This is far in advance of any i previous first-week enrollment, and I there are many more children now busy with farm work who will enter w^ithin the next few days.
