Page Eight THE PILOT, a Paper With Character. Aberd^n, North Carolina Friday, September 4, 193] Laurel Hill Church Has 134th Birthday Interesting Entries in Ancient Records Shed Light on Cus toms of the Day The Laurel. Hill Presbyterian Church of Scotland county celebrat ed its 134th birthday last Sunday, August 31. The only surviving mem ber of the long line of peaches who have served this church (excepting the present pastor, Dr. G. F. Kirkjatrick) is Rev. Dougald McIntyre, D. D. of New Market, Province of Ontoria, Canada. It was hoped that t)r. McIn tyre would be present, and the large congregation was disappointed when a letter was read expressing his deep sorrow at his inability t(J make the trip. Among the many interesting things found on the official records; Addresses Meeting at Southern Adds Another Prize Major Yost Comes in Second in “Dead Stick” Landing Contest Our local flyer. Major Lloyd Yost of the Knollwood Airport, ad ded a new prize to his collection, when at the National Air Races at Cleveland, Ohio, Sunday, he came second-in the “dead stick” landing contest, being only five inches be hind the winner, John Livingston, who dropped twenty-one inches from the marking flag.

Fifi Dorsey adds to Hilarity a short history of this church tells us that, “Sherman’s army camped at the church building, on its notor ious march to the sea—^before the army camped here, the Bible rested on a beautiful scarlet cushion, from which golden tassels hung on three sides. The soldiers cut off these tas sels and used them to decorate the bridles of their horses.” Tflhis an cient church dating back to 1797, is still very much alive, and promises to hold its own down through the ages. Those from Cameron attending this ‘‘Homecoming” were Mrs. M. McL. McKeithen, L. B. McKeithen and lit tle daughter, Isabel. Want i^ds Mr. Rouse has created throughout the Atlantic states a great interest not only in the forthcoming celebra tion but in the route as the main ar tery from New’ England to Florida, and has gained the cooperation of numerous Chambers of Commerce as well as a vast number of motorists.

The Woman’s Auxiliary of the Community Church held the Septem ber meeting Tuesday evening in the ladies’ parlor of the church. The Rev. W. M. McLeod, Mrs. Mc Leod and little daughter, Dorothy Shaw returned last week from their vacation, and Mr. McLeod preached at the usual hour Sunday morning. Mrs. Frank Pinkerton, delightfully entertained in her home Monday after noon, complimenting her sister. Miss Eleanor Huntly who has been her house guest for several weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Cole were hosts at dinner an evening of bridge in An unusually good line of pictures are in store for theatre goers of the surrounding territory for the com ing week. The Dixie Theatre, Aber deen, offers Thursday and Friday, ‘‘The Smiling Lieutenant,” one of the greatest pieces of screen entertain ment of all times, with Maurice Chev- a lier offering the finest perform ance of his career, with Ernest Lib- itsch surpassing his usual directorial wizadry, it is easy to see that “The Smiling Lieutenant” is sheer delight from the beginning to the end. It is one of the cleverest satires ever film ed, the debonaire and smiling Maurice has never been half so good. He is given a part that fits him perfectly and shows his appreciation by a spark ling performance. Claudette Colbert is cast as a dashing musician and does better work than ever. Instead of fitting situations to suit songs, songs are fitted to suit the situations. The point we are trying to get across is that you must see “The Smiling Lieutenant.” It offers entertainment that has never been surpassed in any theatre. On Saturday the selection is, “Mur der by The Clock,” featuring William Boyd. This is an interesting story of a young man who was killed twice in the same evening. Thrills! Chills and romance. On Monday and Tuesday the at traction will be “The Runaround” featuring Mary Brian, Johnny Hines, Marie Prevost and others. This is a 100 per cent all natural color picture that is brisk, sparkling entertainment, fast moving and interesting. Many other interesting pictures are booked for the near future. Watch our pro grams and see them all. SEABOARD GREAT FACTOR IN LOCAL DEVELOPMENT “Me, an actor ? They’re kiddin’ you,” once remarked Will Rogers. “If | they can find a role that’s sorta like me and then let me be natural, I’m all right, otherwise I’m punk.” And ! this is the best reason to be found for the appeal and delightfulness of his new production, “Young As You Feel,” which is the attraction at the Carolina Theatre, this Thursday, Fri day and Saturday. Rogers is Rog-' ers, and as such he has no equal on the screen today. His character of Lemuel Morehouse fits the humorist | perfectly. It affords him his best op- I portunity to be just what he is, a plain j everyday American father and citizen. | Admirers of Rogers will be thorough- | ^ delighted with his donning of | “dressy” clothes in this hilarious com- | edy drama, which was adapted from | George Ade’s well known stage play, “Father And The Boys.” In the chief | feminine rolle, Fifi Dorsey repeats j her initial success with Rogers in their first talking picture, “They Had To See Paris.” Her striking allure and French vivacity account for much mirth and genuine entertainment. An- excellent supporting cast surrounds Rogers, headed by that splendid co median, Lucien Littlefield. ^lls in love with the clever but im pecunious composer, played by Charles Farrell—his best talking per formance. Their delightful romance, with its vivid moments of sheer pa thos, is one of the most appealing stories ever to reach the speaking screen. Among the supporting cast is Beryl Mercer, who will be so pleas antly remembered as the motHer of Robert Montgomery in “The Man In Possession.” “Merely Mary Ann” has just opened in Chicago and here is what the Chicago Evening Post said about it:—“Another ‘Daddy Long Legs’ in popular appeal. It is very rare for a star to have such good luck in two consecutive roles as has befallen Janet Gaynor, and her pop ularity rating should take a big jump —In fact ‘Merely Mary Ann’ is just about all right in every particular.

ABEDEEN TO WELCOME TOBACCO FARMERS (Continued from Page 1) gers encounter at times on their trips to Aberdeen, and a trouble shooter was suggested, and will probably be arranged for. The matter of financing the move ment w^^as carried farther, and it seems that little difficulty will be encountered in procuring the funds necessary to work out the plans which give promise of making of Aberdeen this fall a place where cordiality will be manifest in ev*ry qaarter. Much confidence was apparent in this out come at every point of the meeting. After the discussion of general topics the committee of ways and means seemed in order, and it invited those present to say about how much th®y were interested in contributing to a fund for furthering the market and a subscription of about $500 was accounted for before the meeting ad journed. Further sums are expected, as the gathering concluded that a little money should not be lacking in working out the project. Contribu tions can be left with Frank Sham- berger, G. C. Seymour, Murdoch Johnson, or any of the active busi ness men, and the mon«y will get to where it will do the most good. (Continued from Page 1) first trip to Southern Pines, in Feb ruary, 1894. The arbutus was in blos som, the peaches showing their color, the pyxsie moss abundant, and com- I ing out of the twenty below zero that j we had left in the North it seemed ! as if we had arrived in Paradise for sure. The quaint old car, heated with a wood fire, lit with lamps, which went out on the way and compelled the brakeman to hunt up a signal candle and put it in the rack to give a few faint glimmers of light, the stops at places here and there to pick up a freight car or set out one, or to unload some freight or a pas senger were different from the prac tices now w’hen a train will run from Raleigh to Southern Pines without a stop. The picture w’as taken just north of the present station in Southern j Pines, not far from W. J. Stuart’s home. At the same time he made some other photographs of Southern Pines, or where Southern Pines is now, for most of his pictures indicate little but wire grass, pine trees, a few black hacks, and here and there so far apart as to give faint sugges tion of the present town, a few' scat tered houses, some of which can still be recognized, but most of which are so overshadowed by the newer con- i struction that only the old-timers can designate the old houses. The Watson house is not known by that name now, and is hidden by the Standard Oil station. The Ozone hotel is now the Southland, but much enlarged and changed. Some of the houses on Ben nett street can be identified, and the Saddleson house, the Prospect house, some of the smaller buildings on Ben nett street and Pennsylvania avenue. But it is a quaint spectacle the pic tures present. Railroad Factor in Growth In the more than 37 years since Mr. McNeil made thp pictures the Sea board has hauled a tremendous lot of people and things to Southern Pines. Pinehurst has grown up along with the other towns, and all of the pres ent development has come along. Without the Seaboard the whole pro ject would have been impossible, for the railroad not only brought here the people and material for the crea tion of the interesting community fhat has been built, but through the efforts and advertising of the road this development has come about. The accolade of four stars is the least that can be awarded “Merely Mary Ann,” the latest Janet Gaynor- Charles Farrell starring vehicle, which begins its Carolina Theatre three day run on Monday, with a Tuesday mat inee. With a story perfectly fitted to its principals, thoroughly realistic settings, an excellently-chosen group of supporting players, a splendid S background is afforded the famous “film-team” and they respond to the opportunity with some of the finest dramatic and emotional work of their cat-eer. They exceed their epochal work in “7th Heaven.” Miss Gaynor is more wistful and charming than ever as the repressed little maid-of-all-work in the dingy Londoti rooming house, who shyly , ytffltTtTmrmtttmr Janet GAYNOR'^ Charles FARRELL MtRtLY i MARY ANN 1 V9X PICTUQt Mon., Tue., and Wed.
