Weymouth Heights
Southern Pines, N. C.
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.

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.

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.”

GRASS SEED FOR FALL SOWING
AT THE
Pinehurst Warehouses, Inc.
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.
Fertilizers mixed from the proper formulas for grass are m stock in large quan
tity for use with the grass seed.
