NorthCarolina Friday, October 31, 1930. “Made in Carolina’’ Features Club Meet Memorial to the Lafayette Escadrille Aberdeen Book Club Puts on Special Program at Moss- giel Cabin The “Made in Carolina” program put on by the Thursday Afternoon Book Club of Aberdeen last Thurs day was greatly enjoyed. The meci- ing was held in the Barber Cabin at Mossgiel, near Aberdeen, which was a most appropriate setting, as it is built of North Carolina logs, and the furniture contained therein and the crockery used, were “Made in North Carolina” products. During the business period the sec retary and treasurer made their re ports, as well as chairmen of the different committees, and it was vot ed that the club give the Athletic As sociation of the Aberdeen Schools $5.00 tdwards defraying thjeir lex- penses, and books were exchanged around. During the social hour which fol lowed the president, Mrs. H .E. Bow-1 (^he Pilot is in receipt of the fol- man, read the poem, “I^m a Tarheel i interesting letter from its con- m COUNTY POLITICAL SITUATION AWAITS ELECTION RETURNS (Continued from Page 1) Resting Place of James Rogers McCormell Grave of Carthage Youth Described in a Letter From Sandhills Author Born,” by Mrs. Ray King. A contest r^^presenting the counties of North Carolina proved to be highly inter esting, and at the close of this Mrs. Ralph Caldwell received as prize a pair of hose made and donated by the Asheboro Knitting Mills of Ashe'boro. The members had been asked to wear “Made in Carolina” dresses for this occasion, and some very beautiful and attractive costumes were in evidence. It was voted by the judges that Mrs. H. W. Doub’s costume carried out the “Made in Carolinta” idea the best, and she was awarded a lovely vase made by the Cole Pottery Company of Can 'd or, as first prize, while Mrs. For rest Lockey’s costume was given sec ond prize, which was a handsome end table made at Lincolnton. The pres ident made a special plea that the “Made in Carolina” slogan figure largely in the buying of dress goods and other household necessities during the fall and winter months. A splendid paper on “Character Cloth” read by Mrs. Ralph Caldwell ended the so cial hour. The refreshments served were all North Carolina products, which were served by a special committee com posed of Mrs. M. M. Johnson, Mrs. E. J. Macon and Mrs. S. E. Sloan. The special guests invited to this meeting were were Misses Rose But ler, Grady, Beddingfield, Rosser, Wells and Wooten of the school fac ulty and Mrs. C. C. Bethune. Dr. J. I.

LINE FAILWAY By James Boyd As you come out from Paris on the St. Cloud side you come upon a place where the tops of trees show over a long stone wall. There is a gate in the wall and just inside, a place for cars to stop. You get out there and walk down through beech end locust trees and over a footbridge across a stream. The wall shuts out all sound. Beyond the stream, the path turns to the right and gets clear of the last trees. Ahead, with a branch or two across it, and a crooked hill beyond, is a flanked arch of ivory colored stone where Jim McConnell and fifty-four others of the Lafay ette Escadrille lie. There is ro more perfect memorial and no more fitting place for the dead to rest. On the stone blocks that buttress the terrace beyond the round pool in front of the memorial are carved an eagle and an albatross, for speed and endurance in flight, I suppose. As y( u come nearer you can read the in scription on the arch, and above the arcades, the list of the actions in which the squadron fought. The two wings at the end of the arcades carry the head of a flier and an Indian. The arch itself is flanked by the names of those who died; Jim^s is fifth from the top on the left. Iho rrch bears an equal number of names on^ the other side; sixty-eight in all. Under the arch, stone steps lead down to the crypt where little stain ed glass windows throw colors on the fifty-five stone coffins in a ring. Not all of the sixty-eight are there, a ^evv' were taken home and some went doA^n i2i German territory or in flames. Over the stairs to the crypt is carved a verse from II Samuel, “And in their death they were not divided, they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.” I am afraid you can’t make a cut from any of the pictures. The day was rainy. But a good many of your readers knew Jim and I thought they might like to hear about the place where he lies. If all goes well, I will sail for Southern Pines, November 1st. TO PUBLISH RED CROSS ISSUE The Pilot for November 14 will be a special Red Cross issue. This will coincide with the annual Red Cross drive for membership. We hope to make this issue outstand ing. It will contain all the available information we can gather as to Red Cross work in Moore county in the past and proposed for the future. The county secretary is go ing to cooper>ate with us in pre paring the matter for publication and we have every reason to be lieve that it will be an issue you will want to read. ♦♦ tt « H « u PINEBLUFP Mrs. Annie McGlachlin, Mrs. H. F. Allison and Deane Banton spent Tues day in Carthage on business. Mrs. Mina Latshaw arrived Sat urday night and will be here for the winter. She has spent the summer months in New Jersey and Michiga*). Mrs. Hiarold Paget is spending this week in Raleigh with her husband. Miss Henrietta Risley has returned to the home of Mrs. A. G. Wallace^ after spending the past two woeks with relatives in Sanford. Mr. and Mrs. Walter McNeill left i last week for Jam^aica where they will spend the winter. Mrs. R. W. Mc- knife, but that is offset by a big fol lowing who have a high regard for the man, whose work in the road de partment brought out much apprecia tion, and folks of that type are standing by him, and say there is no danger whatever. The most effort is being directed against the commissioners, in spite of the fact that Matheson is the only member of the present board who is a candidate, and he is regarded as the strongest one of the three as far as getting votes is concerned. Alton Cam eron on the Republican ticket is most talked about as a possible winner, his location in the southern tier of Icwn* ships being urged in his favor, as well as his exceptional character, for is a young man highly rega^^ded. Reynolds and Wallace are also look ed on with favor from the personal view point. The Australian ballot is regarded as another element of uncertainty it; the election, for it is argued that with a secret ballot some voters will not vote exactly as they would with the | g old system. But that is pointed out as a weapon that cuts either way, so it. loses its potency to some extent. Another factor that is mentioned is the thoroughness in getting out the vote. Efforts in looking after the reg istrations suggest that a b g vote is ready if the people come to the polls. Much org^-nization and work hlave been done in spreading po’itical gos pel, probably more newspapers cam paigning of careful type having been put out this fall than in a long time if it was ever equalled before. The campaign has fceen one of more dip lomatic persuasion and of less anta gonisms, of close watching of the de tail of campaign work, ar.d of much thinking by the voters for themselves. As far as The Pilot can weigh the opinions it has received it looks as if a closer race in indicative, with Dem ocratic victory rather likely unless in ; a few individual cases. But both par ties are figuring on working until Tuesday night to get out the vote, and to see that it votes right. It looks as if the vote will be a big one. ditional counties of the state. Infections, most of them incipient, also were found last summer in 10 South Carolina counties six counties in Texas, four in Arkansas, four in Louisiana, two in Tennessee and one in North Carolina. The infections in Tennessee and North Carolina were confined to a few trees which were destroyed. The phony peacn quarantine regu lates movement from infected to non infected districts.

At his gin the cotton so far offered has been short of last year’s production, possibly by twenty per cent. This with the lower price is giving the farmer a shot in that direction, but Mr. Stuart says tobacco is so much more satisfactory that after all .the farms will not be affected as seriously as was thought six months ago would be the case. Tobacco is of good grade, and bringing prices that are better than most folks had anticipated. Dry weather did a lot of damage gener ally, but on the whole the crop yields have included a fair amount of feed, and the winter is not so unpromising i || Delioous andRcfi^hm^ X The PtBUSe that refreshes H n n tt tt - n tt n H H L; TUNE IN ON STATION WPTF Every Wednesday ^goes on the air TUIVK IN, TONICHT!--^On the Coca-Cola Hour. -fc-^A snappy, tingling, sparkling program by new thirty-one piece, all-string Dance Orchestra.-i—-bi^ Hear what famous sports champions say to Grantland Rice. -'■< i^WTiat made them good enough to get where they are.^*-—»— Delightful entertainment for all the family. 1^9 TOBFICHm On Coca-Cola.
