SCHOOL CHILDREN PLAN COUNTY FAIR EXHIBITS Court House News COUNTY TAX LEVY LAST YEAR TOTALLED $425,000 Some interesting tax figures were given out this week by J. D. Mc Lean, county tax collector. The to tal levy for last year was $428,000. This year the levy was reduced to $415,000 by reason of a reduction in the county-wide rate of 3 cents on the hundred dollars’ valuation and of reductions in several of the special school tax districts. The Southern Pines special school tax rate was cut from 60 cents to 50 cents; the Eureka rate from 50 to 40, and the Eagle Springs from 25 to 20. All others re mained the same. The cut in South ern Pines will amount to a sizable sum. County School Suprintendent H. Lee Thomas is very gi’atified at the in terest that the schools are manifest ing in the Moore County Fair, and he says that reports from principals in dicate that nearly every school is pre paring an exhibit. The classes of R. L. Mayfield, vocational agriculture teacher in the Vass-Lakeview schools, .are preparing exhibits from the manual training and agriculture de partments; the home economics de partments of Carthage High School, Elise Academy and Pinehurst High School under the leadership of Misses Willa Campbell, Garland Gravely and Idell McKenzie, respectively, will have sewing exhibits, and a number of stu dents are preparing maps of Moore county and writing essays on the various subjects which were carefully chosen with an idea of arousing an interest in the wide variety of nat ural resources of this section. MRS. HATTIE R. BRABBLE DIES IN SOUTHERN PINES IMPROVEMENTS IN OFFICE OF REGISTER OF DEEDS The Men’s Bible Class of Southern Pines which was organized during the past season by Frank Buchan, now president, and Bion H. Butler has been making a study of the var ious books of the Bible /during the previous year. At a meeting of the class last,Sunday morning a commit tee was appointed to work out plans to increase the membership. All cit izens of the section are cordially in vited to attend regardless of^ their church affiliations. The class in holding open discus sion is doing a very interesting and worthwhile work and it is expected that many new members will be pres ent Sunday morning at 10:00 o’clock. The program committee has ar ranged for the study of the book of Ruth and its connections with Chris tianity. The Rev. J. Fred Stimson will be in charge of the class. INSANE NEGRO JAILED Quite a bit of excitement was creat ed among the colored people of the DowVs Chapel neighborhood between Carthage and West End a few days ago when Earl Kelly, colored, be came insane. Dr. Blue of Carthage was called to the home and while he was there, the man became violent and ran members of the family away, knocking one brothfer in the head with a stick and injuring him. Officers were sunamoned and the patient was placed' in jail until arrangements were made for sending him to Goldsboro. Visitors to the Register of Deed’s office in Carthage will notice the great improvements recently made there. New filing calees and new binders for the index books, equip ment which has been badly needed and which was recommended by the grand jury at the August and Jan uary terms of criminal court, have been installed and there is now am ple space for filing all record books.

Don’t forget to come to the Moore County Fair, October 14 to 18. Was Granddaughter of Lauch- lin Bethune, Member of Con gress from this District / Mrs. Margaret B. McNeill, 80 years old, died at her country home near Southern Pines late Friday after noon, October 3rd. She had been in failing health for a number of years, but her death was the result of a heart attack, and she died quite sud^ denly. Mrs. McNeill was the widow of the late Daniel A. McNeill, who died some years ago, and a daughter of Captain Archibald Ray, who was a prominent land owner in this com- . • -I • 1 ^ munity in his day. Mrs. McNeill was one of the oldest inhabitants of this section, and her connection with the history of the up per Cape Fear country is wide-reach ing. The Ray family settled on the headquarters of Rockfish and the Aberdeen creek, and back to Revolu tionary days they were factors in the development of the territory along with the McNeill family whose big holdings adjoined those of the Rays. Mrs. McNeill’s mother was Harreit Bethune, daughter of Lauchlin Be- thune, who in his day \Yas perhaps the foremost landholder of this part of the stage, one of his boundary lines almost a century ago reaching from Little River to Drowning Creek. His slaves were so numerous thalt he did not know who was his and who rot. He represented this district of North Carolina in Congress in the days of Clay, Jackson and men of their period, and his quaint epitaph in Bethesda Cemetery is one of the interesting features of that bit of God’s acre. Harriet Bethune was the third wife of Capt. Archie Ray, the others be ing daughters of the Shaw and the Blue families. Thus the McNeills were by marriage and relation connected with the large proportion of the pop ulation of their time. To these peo ple much of the development of the territory this side of the Raeford region, for the Bethune influences still are prominent to this day even beyond Raeford. Surviving Mrs. McNeill are four daughters, Mrs. W. S. Harrington, Miss Katie McNeill, Miss Harriet McNeill and Miss Flora McNeill, all of Southern Pines, and four sons.

A. B. SALLY CATCHES A 45-POUND DRUM FISH This fishing business grows like any other habit. Last week A. B. Sally came home from New River Inlet with a drum fish which he says weighed 45 pounds. He sent it over to the hospital at Pinehurst. It was only one of a number of big ones which were caught by a group of Pinehurst fishers, but it is not deem ed prudent to mention the weight of too many of the big ones, as a fish is like a dog or a well or a watch, and everybody knows how his own watch ranks in a crowd. But they brought home a lot of big fish, and a picture that has to be taken as evidence. Mose McDonald let a big one get away. William A. McNeill, Archie McNeill and Dan McNeill of Southern Pines, and Milton McNeill of Columbia. Mrs. McNeill was a consecrated Christian woman, and her passing is mourned by her many friends and rel atives, who feel that they are bet ter for having known one of her lovely character so long. The funeral services were conduct ed at Old Bethesda on last Sunday afternoon at 4:30, the Rev. E. L. Bar ber of this church and the Rev. M. D. McNeill of Cameron officiating. Mrs. Hattie Redditt Brabble, wid^ od of the last John W. Brabble, both of whom were residents of Washing ton, N. C., died early Wednesday morning in the home of her son, John Brabble, in Southern Pines. She had been in poor health for some time. She leaves five children: Mrs. Rob ert Rumley of Washington; Attmore Brabble of Charlotte; Miss Hattie Brabble of California, Miss Sybil Brabble and John Brabble, both of Southern Pines. The funeral was held in Washington with interment in Oakdale cemetery.
