Sky Hawk, New Aberdeen Newspaper
Wins High School Senior Award
Many Potential Editors Uncov
ered in Contest for Best Pre
pared Daily Paper
Aberdeen is full of potential editors.
The Pilot need have no worries about
its future.
Miss Rosser, English teacher in the
Aberdeen High School, wandered into
The Pilot offiGe the other afternoon
with her arms full of papers. They
proved to be newspapers, written,
edited, illustrated and made up by
members of the Senior class. They
had chosen their own titles, their own
material and had made them up in
their own way, but following the gen
eral line of newspaper make-up. These
papers were supposed to contain, ac
cording to directions given the class
by Miss Rosser, some 12 to 15 types
of newspaper material, such as ad
vertising, cartoons, puzzles, travel
sketches, a storyette, a book review, a
short story review, an interview, a
biographical sketch, editorials and
editorial features, and of course,
news.
Some of the future editors tried to
into their sheets.

Miss Elsie Patay, feature artist of

appearances in leading European
cities. Recently, she made her first
American appearance at Kimball Hall,
Chicago, and was well acclaimed by
Chicago music critics. She is a bril
liant p/erformer on the cymbalom,
a Magyar musical instrument, used
much by Hungarian gypsy bands. It
is much like a piano, though it has a
keyboard of plates and strings, but
no pedals, so that the tone continues
to vibrate until stopped by the per
former’s' haftds. The cymbalom is
played with covered hammers, like the
xylophone, but has a

Fifteen men, thirteen of whom are
white, thought to be members of a
gang of thieves which has been op
erating extensively in Moore, Cum

counties, have been apprehended and
are now in jail, the greater number
of them in Fayetteville, awaiting
trial. Seven of the gang are, thought
to have participated in the recent
looting of the depots in Carthage an4

in a Hudson sedan and a Dodge se

Twenty-six cases of snuff were
found in the woods on Sunday by
Cumberland officel-s, and a quanti
ty of snuff and tobacco was hidden
around in houses in Robeson and
Cumberland. After the officers } q.
gan rounding up the robbers, they
dumped a part of their loot in the
Cape Fear River. They were armed
with pistols, sawed-off shot guns, and
had one pump gun.
One of the Negroes was brought
on Monday to the scene of the recent
robberies in Moore county, and he ad
mitted having gone to both the
and the Carthage depots.
Shoes were the only things stolen
from the Vass station and a pair or
two' of shoes which were thought to
have been stolen were taken off some
of the men, but they had been cut so
they could not be positively identi

Death Postponed at Carthage
The trial of Stanbach Lewis of
Wadesville resulting from the fatal
accident to A. R. Chiswell of South
ern Pines and Pinehurst on the dou
ble road between those two towns
more than a week ago was postponed

Injuries received at the time of the
collision of the Chiswell and Lewis
automobiles, prevented the appearance
of the prisoner, acording to his at
torney. Lewis has been held without
bond since the accident which claimed

Mr. Chiswell was an employee of the
Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company la
Pinehurst and made his home in

To Our Farmer Friends:
The success of any tobacco market depends largely on the co
operation received from the tobaco growers—^you grow the tobac
co—the marketmen sell the tobacco to the buyers—hearty co-op-
eration on the part of the three make the warehouse successful.
This co-operative spirit during the 1930-31 season on the parts
of the grower-warehousemen-buyers has caused the local market
to grow in sales from 2 1-2 million pounds last season to well over
5 million pounds ere the market closes this season.
There remains in the district a large amount of tobacco unsold
within the next thirty days. The Sanford Market offers the best
of service coupled with their ability to give the farmers the best in
prices—Remember that your aid will help to make a large market
within a short distance from your farm — Bring the balance of
your crop to the SANFORD TOBACCO MARKET FOR THE
HIGHEST- PRICES.
