THE PILOT, a Paper With Character, Aberdeen, North Carelina Page Three n a 2 H A Home in Pinedale Just out the Midland road from Pinehurst, Offers an investme|it as well as a home. The activity that is apparent out the Midland road and on both sides of that road suggests the immediate future and a development that will be in keeping with anything this section has yet known. Pnehurst is overflowing its boundaries. At Pinedale a few hundred dollars will still buy a large size building site, three-fourths of an acre, at a figure that cannot last forever, and the man who secures a location there now will have a definite return on his money whether he builds a home or not. But it is to be remembered that most of the buyers are buying to build, for houses are steadily in greater demand in the Pinehurst area. Location, Price and Prospect of the future are three features at Pinedale. riNEBntST nVESTNENT COKPOKATION, Fiiiehiinit, North Mna tx :: H :: or Any Accredited Real Estate Agents ittimmtittmiuttxiitiitimttttttimiitttitxitttmttttxntutittttxtmmm ^i&CAPITAL By M. R. Dunnagan, The PiioVs Raleigh Correspondent The scene of the struggle with the bill to raise revenue for the operation of State activities for the next two years was shifted during the past week from the House of Representa tives to the Senate, which body has been sweating over the controversial Revenue Bill since Friday, when it dissolved into the committee of the w'hole. It has been engaged in taking it up, section by section, and tearing at its provisions. The House, after having its week, passing it and being prevented from making changes by a filibuster, shov ed it over to the Senate as if it were a hot brick, but many of the members voting for it, reserved the right to have another say, if oppor tunity arose, to take a whack at the general sales tax provision v/hich it contained. Numbers of members vot- for the bill as it was finally work ed cut, expressed the hope that the sales tax could be eradicated by the Senate. The Senate, pulling off its coat, figuratively speaking, waded into the bill Friday, clearing the lobbies of all visitors, in order to keep ts mind on the matter in hand. It scrap ped over many of the provisions and the prediction was made that the end would not be reached until well into this week. The sales tax will be the greatest subject of contentiDn. The belief has been and still is that the Senate will not adopt any form of sales tax, general or luxury, unless forced to do so by the House. ♦ As has been the general impression for some time, it now seems that the Senate will eliminate the sales lax provision and substitute for it the increase to probably $10,00,000 in the school equalizing fund. If it goes back to the House in that form, the result is problematical. The House will not accept that change unless it is forced to. A deadlock may result and a conference committee named to iron out the differences—which will be a big- task, if present indications are born out. It may develop into a dead- ^f>fk, a sort of endurance contest. At best, the session cannot end in less than 10 days from the start, ■VrVhich will carry it well into next v.eek. That would be 40 days longer than the usual and 3 days longer than ■he record 70-day session two years aj»“o. Although adjournment is long past due, the legislators are sticking to their tasks and at the present rate pi’actically all of them will be here at the end, although a few of them may find it necessary to return lome. ♦ * ♦ One of Governor Gardner’s bills came through to ratification and started in operation last week, the es tablishing of the Department of Bank ing. Examination and liquidation of basks is taken from the Corporation Commission, a move that is expect ed to help restore confidence. Gov ernor Gardner named Gurney P. Hood, Goldsboro, representative from Wayne, organizer and head of the Hood System Banks, industrial, as Commissioner of Banks. As the ad visory board, he named Word H. Wood, Charlotte; Col. J. T. Bruton, Wilson, and Agnew H. Bahnson, Win ston-Salem. The act became effective immediately upon its ratification. Mr. ; Wood came to Raleigh Friday and * took charge of the department, j * * 5)5 i Another administration measure is ; practically through, the one creating in the Governor’s office a Division of Purchase and Contract. In fact, I the bill was passed, but the Senate ' found it had approved the House j amendment taking out the limit of j $6,000 a year as salary for the Direc- I tor, recalled this amendment and re- ‘ fused to concur. A conference com- ' mittee was named to straighten out this detail, probably replacing the I $6,000 limit in salary. The Division I of Personnel measure is also practi cally through, having been so amended that the division may he consolidated with that of Purchase & Contract. * ♦ * Another “short ballot” bill has I made its appearance, going further ' than the previous ones and includ ing all of the statutory elective State officers, the commissioners of Agri culture, Insurance and Labor and Printing, and the members of the Cor- I poration Commission. Doubt is ex pressed if this will pass, Governor Gardner taking the position that suc'h changes should be included in Consti tutional changes, so they could not be changed by every Legislature. ♦ Sft Jf: The seven Republicans in the Gen eral Assembly came to life last week and caused a stir by introducing a bill directing the Governor and other State officials to aid in furnishing data to the U. S. Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections in the con test of George M. Pritchard for the seat of Josiah W. Bailey in the Sen ate. Leading Republicans were con ferring in the halls before the bill was introduced and gathered in the lob bies for the event. Efforts were to get it adopted right now, under sus pended rules, and it was introduced in both houses at the same time. The Democrats, pointing out that G^v- j ernor Gardner, Senator Bailey and I other officials had promised all aid I possible, charged bad faith or lack of j faith in these officials. The bill was I sent in both houses to committees, I where it will probably die. I The new bus law, at first introduc- i ed by the railroads,^ which, the bus j operators charged, with seeking to I legislate them out of business, pass- I ed and was ratified last week. Howr- i ever, it was very different from the ) bills introduced. It closed up some on I the bus regulation, but by no means ; as far as the original bills sought. ] The first redistricting bill, provid- ' ing for eleven Congressmen, was passed in a hurry last week. It practi cally splits the Fifth district into two, and raises the numbers of the for mer districts to one higher, the old : Sixth to the Seventh, and so on. The ! other bills, one to redistrict the State I Senatorial districts, the other to re apportion the members of the House of Representatives, both on the basis :of the 1930 census may not be en acted, although this is required by ; the Constitution. It w’ould move two : or three Senators and six or seven Representatives tx) the populous Pied mont section. Bills introduced this session have ; reached 1,200 in the House and .'30 . in the Senate, a total of 1,730, Al- , though decreasing in numbers, 40 I were placed in the hopper in the House and 17 in the Senate last week. I Among the public bills introduced last w'eek were the following. Southern Pines Curb Market Big Success Patronage Forces More Ample Facilities for Farmers with Their Weekly Offerings The curb market at Southern Pines has done so well that larger space is to be provided for it, with more stalls and conveniences for handling the farm stuff that will be increasing in quantity as the spring gardens be gin their yield. Much variety is al ready shown in the offerings, includ ing eggs, poultry, cakes, pies, bread of various kinds, canned goods, but termilk sweet milk, grape juice sau sage, and other things that the in genuity of the women thinks to create and bring along. The market is practically in the hands of the women, and they add to the interest in Southern Pines on Sat urday, for beside the business trans actions that take place the folks who come in from the country to the mar ket are wide-awake and cordial w^o- men who bring with them the bits of neighborhood news and happenings. The business done is growing with a promise of a permanency that will help the town folks to satisfy their needs and afford an outlet for much of the work of the farm and garden to the benefit of all parties to the transactions. Marketers come from all around Southern Pines, six to ten or a dozen miles, bringing products that are of high quality, which are sold at prices that move the wares. Eureka, Vass, Cameron, Pinebluff, Carthage and intervening neighbor hoods are represented, farther dis tances not showing so many produc ers. If you happen to have come from the country yourself in the days gone by you will be attracted by the homey atmosphere that prevails around the market, in addition to finding it a good place to secure the makings of your Sunday dinner. s WEYMOUTH HEIGHTS SOUTHERN PINES H \ :: ♦4 j: THE PAGE TRUST COMPANY, ABERDEEN, N.

The body finish is made to last for the life of the car and prac;tically all exposed bright metal parts ex cept the buhipers are made of enduring Rustless Steel. This Rustless Steel has great tensile strength. It is the same bright metal all the way through.
