The weak spot about Weymouth is that there is only one of the kind. Only one high ridge overshadowing the thrifty village of Southern Pines, look ing out over the country for miles in all directions, with original pine forest trees standing as they stood several hundred years ago, provided with modem roads, modern light and water facilities, modern light and water facilities, modern homes of the highest type to be found in Central North Carolina, all the attractions of the well-known w^inter resort and summer home community, and none of the unde sirable conditions so frequently found in many admirable places. Weymouth Heights has no Mary Ann back yard to im pair a Queen Anne front. Weymouth Heights has no back yard. Weymouth is littracftivtej from every ap proach, and unique in that respect. s. B.

Grantiand Rice interviewing world celebrities. • Every Wednesday Nisht • Now that four candidates have an nounced for the Democratic nomina tion for the United States Senate, each an excellent showman in his own peculiar way, that contest is ex pected to begin to take on color, life and animation that will place it, al most, if ijjOt entirely, in a class by it self in North CarjOlina political cam paigns. The latest word has come from A. L. Brooks, Greensboro, who has left the way open for entry later, if he deems it advisable or expedient to make a quintet jof it, or if it gets still further into a free-for-all Mr. Brojo'ks is not expected to .enter, un less, by some chance, Thomas C. (Tam) Bowie, of West Jefferson, the latest entrant, should retire from the race, and that is not on the horizon. Mr. Broioks and Mr. Bowie have con ferred about it, probably before, but certainly at lunch on the day Mr. Bowie’s annoi^ncement apjpeiared, a week or more ago. Mr. Bowie admits that. It is considered that they have an understanding, had one bef,ore Mr. Bowie announced, and that Mr. Brooks is not to get in unless Mr. Bowie gets out, although the Brooks .statement leaves him free to d,o as he pleases/ Mr. Bowie wants to run for Gov ernor five or six years later, and has told friends of his purpose, condition ally. That is why his platform seems m,ore appropriate to a gubernatorial campaign than a senatorial c^ontest, in that he is a tax-reliefer, primarily. He may add planks that are more in line with his present desire to go to the Senate. ♦ * * Frank D. Grist, commissioner of labor, and first to announce opposi tion to Senator Cameron Morrison, with the bulk of his duties taken from him and with no apparent desire t<o reorganize the Department of La bor as provided by the 1931 law, is left free to conduct a campaign which is expected to have many elements of the spectacular. Senator Morrison re fused, some twjO years ago, to shake hands with him in the Governor’s of fice. Grist is paying him. Robert R. Reynolds, Asheville, probably the best showman of the bunch, has announced on a modifica tion platf,orm. While all available evi dences seem to indicate a trend to ward a let-up in the prohibition laws, and people now can vote one way and talk another, it is not considered likely that he will be able to ‘Over turn the long established dry senti ment in the state. But he will make a showing, for he doubtless lies awake nights thinking up stunts that will get him into the limelight, even if the novelty of his showmanship has been worn off 'by the two campaigns in recent years. Hi * But Senator Mjorrison will contin ue along his way, probably annoyed, but not particularly worried, by the increasing number of opponents. As he has said, it will serve to spiiu his opposition. He has enemies wh,o would like to see him defeated. Some de veloped during his campaign and others in his term as Governor. Still others opposed his A1 Smith support. Many |0f these came back to him when he caused the appointment of Frank R. McKinch, leadter of the Smith 0pp|0siti0n, to the Federal Power Commission, and others were alienated by that same act. They will use the fact that he has and will use money in the campaign, against him. However, friends of Senator Mor rison points out he is a patri,otic and a loyal North Carolinian, and he is absolutely fearless, two traits which the citizens of this state admire. He had those qua^lities before he had money and has lost njone of either of them. Moreover, he spoke out in pub lic in his gubernatorial campaign and, although 10 years have been added to his age, he may be expected to con duct a lively campaign for the Sen ate. He has a strong nucleus ,of sup porters in almost every county in the state to start with. « ♦ * Earlier entries and spectacular en trants in the Senatorial race will have the effect of forcing out the candi dates for Governor from tw,o to four months earlier than the usual first of the year starting time. It will mean a long and sustained gubernatorial fight, with headquarters and mana gers and travel and expenses for a longer period. This is a prospect which none pi the prospective candi dates, all with modest fortunes, rel ishes. At best, not one of them could begin to bear his own expenses with out seriously crippling his financial qondition, and it may have the effect of causing some of the present pros pects to drop from the list. * * ♦ Another interesting development in that race. A movement is under way to bring out Dr. Frank P. Graham, president of the State University, as a gubernatjorial candidate. Whether it is friends, trying to do him an hon or, either by actually getting him out for the governorship, or getting him in line for the presidency of the great er University, or enemies trying to “muddy the water” :^or the latter po sition, is not known. The assertion that the state needs a “liberal” gov ernor, indicates that it is friends, but probably without his knowledge or consent. » * ♦ Friends of A. J. Maxwell are more insistent that the Commissioner of Revenue will be in the race, and with in a month or two. This week, in an address at Selma, he took definite is sue with Lieutenant Governor R. T. Fountain, who had stated that local self-government is being usurped by the State. Mr. Maxwell stated that the Local Government Act, most as sailed as usurpation, is in realty giv ing back to the people some of the power they oviginally had under the Constituti(Oii and which has been lost by court decisions. The commission, he said, stands between them and lo cal officials who might be and have been induced to spend bond money needlessly. Willis Smith, speaker of the House, had previjOusly taken is sue with Mr. Fountain, referring to the “ancient shibboleth” and “fetish” of local self-government. Among other political moves is the announcement of Stacy W. Wade, for mer insurance commissioner, for Sec retary of State James A. Hartness’ job, and prospects of B. F. (Fitz) Smith, Senate reading clerk for sev eral years, entering the contest for Commissioner of Labor with a dozen other prospects. ♦ * * The State^Board of Equilagation, in session last week, finds that the bud gets submitted to its by county offi cials indicate a requirement for about $22,000,000 to operate the public schools next year, when only $17,000,- 000 is available for that purpose. The board will find it necessary to trim the county budgets an average of 20 per cent or more, .which is expected to include the 10 per cent cut in teacher salaries. Salaries are T|Ot to be cut more than 10 per cent, and not to that extent if funds are available, the act of the General Assembly pro vides. * ♦ 5)!

Just another temporary snag. No Pay, No Water, New Rule in Aberdeen Rents Must Be Paid by Tenth of Month or Water Shut Off on 11th ivhtelinqly speakincf^ Notice has been sent to water con sumers of Aberdeen that henceforth the ordinance requiring payment of water rents will be rigidly enforced, and water service disqontinued with out notice on the morning of the 11th of the month if payment is not made by the 10th. Says City Clerk W. T. Huntley in his letter to the citizenry: “Payment may be made to the col lector at any time up to six p. m. pn the tenth of each m,onth. On the tenth of each month the collector will be in the Town Office from seven a. m. until six p. m., for the purpose of re ceiving payment. After that hjour no further payments will be received, but as above stated, the service will be discontinued on the morning of the eleventh, and a fee of one dollar in all cases will be required for the restor ation of the service. All re-connecti(Ons must be made by the town. Any per sons making re-connections where service has 'been suspended will be promptly prosecuted. “Water users well understand that the town cannot afford to have its (Officers take time required for other more important duties throughout the month in making these collections. The rule works no hardship and it is a hardship and unnecessary expense on the town to do otherwise. “The town has no desire to cause any person inconvenience or embar rassment, and is driven to the strict enforcement of the ordinance from necessity and not from choice. It con fidently expects the full co-operation ,of all consumers of water.” Ofi, th \ C ^ U. s. NO. 1 NEAR CAMERON TO BE OPENED AUGUST 20 State Highway Commissioner E. B.

PINEHURST, N. C. AND AT PRICES CORRESPONDING WITH THE REDUCTIONS IN OTHER THINGS. One of the big influences Pinehurst has exerted in this section is the success with which making lawns and grass covers is attained. No more marked change has affected the Sandhills than that transformation from white sand to green lawn. And it is as easy as falling off of a log. A little of the proper kind of grass seed, a lit tle fertilizer, a Uttle work, and the rest takes care of itself. THE KINDS TO PLANT. This has been worked out so positively that everybody knows the varieties. Italian Rye Grass and Pinehurst Special Mixtures. These types are bought in car loa'd at the Warehouses, and prices are made on the basis of these large quantity purchases. Cleaned and recleaned seed, or a cheaper type if desired. Foreign and home grown seed at prices that are not worth hesitating about. Plant everything to grass this fall and continue that remarkable reputation the Sandhills has gained by its grass and floral display all the year.
