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

“Young As You Feel” is Will’s Fun
niest. 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.

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.

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.

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
