A recent visit of members of the State Highway commission is having a pleasing result out the double Mid land Road between Pinehurst and Southern Pines. The visit brought lo cal and highway men together in an agreement that is further planting and beautifying that road, which one of the men in the transaction says is destined to become a foremost street of North Carolina. The planting that had already been done along the Midland Road inter ested the visitors, and when the lo cal folks offered to furnish seed to put a grass sward in the middles of the roadway the highway commission ers undertook to do the W’ork with their force, and the job is now in lively progress. A green ribbon of fresh grass will soon be showing on much of the route from Southern Pines to Pinehurst or to the stables out from Pinehurst, and with the fur ther planting of shrubbery all along the road another year or so will see the entire route a continuous park way as the original projectors plan ned. Southern Eines has carried the work from the rest of the planted village program to the top of the hill where the double road turns down, and there the Knollwood folks have commenc ed. The State is working with them, and to the other side of the creek the work is about accoonpliCshed. The rest of the way, wi-^ occasional breaks it is going forward, and be fore very long it is believed the prop erty holders on either side of the road will take care of the sides as the State and local helpers are car ing for the center. At Knollwood the work done is striking, and there the roads leading into Knollwood terri tory are liaving the same treatment, and the result is this year showing plainly what is ahead. Crest Road is undergoing much improvement as that is now recognized as the prob able main connection of Pinehurst and Pine Needles, the new building up that way impressing the situation. It is plain that from Pinehurst to Southern Pines the Midland road is steadily be coming a delightful bond of that close unity that is not far off. Worth-While Education Exhibits and Entertainment Features All Week at Carthage The Moore County Agricultural Fair is on full blast. Off to a rainy start on Tuesday, it made up for lost time on the following days, and is meeting with the success it merits as a well conceived attempt to revive an annual fair in this section. The officials and the Carthage post of the American Legion are to be con gratulated upon their exposition. There is a bit of everjrthing at the fairgrounds on the road leading out from Carthage toward Sanford. The live stock exhibits, the poultry, the display of produce from the farms of the county, the exhibits by the school children, exhibits of needlework and other handiwork of mothers and daughters, industrial exhibits worth seeing all go to make up a worth while educational exposition. On the 'entertainment side there is a bit of everything from Eva, “who eats ’em alive” to the huge ferris wheel, the joy of the children. The midway of fers attractions aplenty, for old and young. You can win prizes of every description if your luck or your aim is good. There are dancing girls and athletes and minstrels, a high diving act, the old favorite merry-go-’round and goodness knows what all. Many Prizes Awarded Judges have been busy awarding blue ribbons and money prizes all week for the various educational ex hibits, and will be kept busy until the fair closes Saturday night. We can’t begin to telJ,you yet who has the best cow in the county, the best chickens, the best this or the best that, hut we do know that the fair has gone far enough for ns to know that J. R. PAGE NAMED TO HEAD TOBACCO CO-OP MOVEMENT IJnianimousIy Chosen President of Proposed Association on Governor’s Recommendation NO SIGN-UP THIS YEAR J. R. Page of Aberdeen was unani mously chosen president and general manager of the proposed North Car olina Tobacco Co-operatiVe Associa tion by the executive committee of the Tobacco Organization Committee at its meeting in Raleigh on Tuesday. At the same time it was decided not to attempt organization of the far mers this year \because of the late- ress of the season, but to bend all ef forts; toward formation of a success ful co-op before the opening of the 1931 markets. Though the committee had found many farmers who wanted to sign contracts for disposal of the 1930 crop, it was the unanimous opinion that the time for such action had passed. It passed the following reso lution: “It is unanimously resolved that it would be unwise to attempt to or- fi&nize for the purpose of handling the 1930 crop but it is the unanimous opinion in view of the wide interest being manifest toward the setting up of an association fo rthe 1931 crop, that every effort be made to organize the association to handle the 1931 crop.” Recommended by Governor Mr. Page was unanimously elected at the recommendation of Governor Gardner. That the Governor intends to push the organization at once was showT. in the telegram he sent James Moore county has cows and chickens] G. Stone, of the Federal Farm Board and farm produce and school children after the meeting. The telegram fol- FIVE CENTS “No Better Matf^ Could Have Been Chosen to Head Co-op, Says Press of J. R.

Gould, a resident of Southern Pines for the past 18 years and active in civic and religious af fairs of this community, died in Northside Hospital, Richmond, Vir ginia, early Tuesday morning. Mrs. Gould had been a patient there for two months. The report of her death was a distinct shock to her many friends in the Sandhills.

Accompanied by the Camp, H. 0. Riggan, C. D. Eaton and surviving son, the body was taken north Thursday night for interment in the family plot at Buffalo. Mrs. Gould was highly esteemed by the many friends she had made in her long residence here, and her passing will be a distinct loss to the commun ity.

Mrs. Converse has been a frequent visitor to Pinehurst and Mr. Drage has spent the past sev eral winters here, taking part in most of the polo games on the 'Pinehurst fields. Mrs. Converse accompanied Mrs. Bevorly Walter to the Sandhills three weeks ago, spending several diays here v/hile Mrs. Walter was preparing her residence on the Midland Road for the winter season. Mr. and Mrs. Wal ter are at present located in Wash ington, where Mr. Drage was visiting them. . A despatch to The Pilot describing the tragic event reads as follows: Failing to right her automobile vvhe’^ it left the road on a danger ous unmarked curve in Falls Church, Va., early yesterday, Mrs. Elizabeth Walter Converse, socially prominent young Washingtonian, and her escort, David Drage of Kansas City, w^ere thrown from the machine and almost instantly killed when it crashed into a telephone pole at 70 miles an hour. The couple were returning from a raccoon hunt and barn dance at Clovel- ly, the Warrenton estate of Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Winmill. Skid marks left by the tires on the roadway told of the woman’s desper ate efforts to avoid the crabh, but apparently the heavy machine went completely out of control, for it jump ed a 4-foot ditch and struck the i>ole, on the right side of the road, with the left front wheel. Two Men See Crash Two unidentified men who had stop ped at a cross-road 200 feet from the scene of the crash, were the only w’itnesses to the tragedy. Mrs. Converse, 27 years oM, was at the wheel of the high-powered car.
