Plnehurst Census Figures A Surprise About as Large Now as Were Two Largest Villages of County^ Ten Years Ago Advocates Establishment of Bird Sanctuary in Sand hills I. C. Sledge Walker Taylor, Jr. 0. H. Stutts H. D. Vail Walker Taylor R. S. Tufts A, P. Thompson J. F. Taylor For some time Pinehurst has had a curiosity as to the number of peo ple the census enumerator found inj the count made during the summer.! Last week the figures were given out, | and the village is walking on its high heels over the satisfying report of 1,705. A curiosity about Pinehurst is that this is the first time it has ever known it had any population to enum erate as a village or community. Pine hurst has never had any municipal i crg?|)iiz)ation, 'being just 'Pinehurst,^ a delightful neighborhood in which; good people foregathered to enjoy the pleasures of a comfortable cli mate, with the games and sports and fellowship the place made famous, and it is pretty hard even now to tell where Pinehurst is, or begins or needs. Everybodyl knows whiene ‘Pinehurst is a center of all it stands for, but as far as the boundary lines that is another miatter. So the enumeration counted the folks in the group clus tered around the Carolina, and some of the other prominent buildings, and worked out the country roads as far as the settlement seems continuous. Ten years ago the census showed Carthage to be the big town of the county with 962 . people and Aber deen second with 858. Now Pinehurst is almost as big as both of them were then, and bigger than any two of the other towns of the county were then. This figure of course is only for the permanent population, for the winter population of all the towns is much bigger than in summer, the main ho tels at Pinehurst and Southern Pines alone being able to accommodate prob ably 3,000 people, to say nothing of the boarding houses and private homes that shelter a large number of visi tors and winter residents. At times the accommodations are overtaxed in win ter, giving Pinehurst a population tem porarily up in several thousand, as is also the case at all the villages. The census ten years from now will be interesting to figure on. This (Thanksgiving) week’s meet ing of the Kiwanis (!31ub, following the custom inaugurat6d two years ago, was held in the spacious and hospita ble home of' Mrs. J. R. Page, in Aber deen; the luncheon being furnished by the ladies of the Aberdeen Pres byterian Church and the proceeds go ing to the Thanksgiving offering for Barium Springs Orphanage. The club had as its speaker this week, the famous W. O. Saimders of Elizabeth City. Mr. Saunders, a i;oted nature lover, spoke on birds and game preserves and suggested the establish ment of a bird sanctuary in this sec tion. At the conclusion of his speech a movement was set on foot looking to that end, and the matter is in the hands of the Public Affairs Commit tee of the club. Frank Buchan, Chairman of the “Christmas Daddy” committee, made another appeal for discarded cloth ing and toys for the poor children of Moore County. The members of this committee are, in addition to Mi\ Buchan of Southern Pines, H. Lee Thomas of Carthage, Bill Dunlop of Pinehurst,# and Murdoch Johnson of Aberdeen. Anyone having discarded clothing (especially children’s) and broken toys will be doing a service if they will kindly deliver any of such to either of these men. They were appointed from these different communities in orcV r that one of them might be easily accessible to any person in the section desiring to co operate in this movement. Why Take the Chance? Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Wetmore and children of Durham, will spend their Thanksgiving in Aberdeen as the guests'of Mrs. Wetmore’s aunt, Mrs. George (?. Martin. The numerous accidents involvmg personal injury that have occured in the Sandhills,recent ly prompt us to urge every one to make ample provision for such an emergency. Many console their conscience by saying “I'm careful“I watch where I step“I drive my car with due regard for myself and others,” etc., but will that statement to your Physician, the Hospital, the Nurse or Druggist after an ac cident cause bills to be marked PAID IN FULL; or keep the old pay check coming regularly, or keep your business as prosperous during your, absence as while you are at the helm? Accident insurance will pay bills; provide for dependents and otherwise bridge the span of disability with pay checks. MID-SOUTH INSURANCE AGENCY ✓ L. L.'Gardner, Manager Pinehurst, N. C. FREE! FREE!
