the railway world were numbered C.

of the last ^k in the long ribbon of
2,433 miles of hard-surfaced road
from Maine to Florida.
Mayor R. A. Rouse of Cheraw was
a visitor in Aberdeen and Southern
Pines on Wednesday and told The
Pilot of the big plans for the cele
bration. He said that Governor Gard
ner planned to be present if possi
ble, and if unable to do so, to send
someone high up in the counsils of
state.
“They are coming, from Maine to
Florida,” Mayor Rouse said, stress
ing the nation-wide importance of the
event. “We have had publicity in
more than 150 papers, extending from
Key West to South Poland, Me^ and
are expecting the attendance of a
number of special writers of tour
ist activities and resort interests from
large metropolitan dailies.”

McBrayer, chairman; John A. Park,
later than Friday, September 11th.
The representatives were also re
quested to canvass the territory be
tween the different towns on /the
route.
George Radcliffe, of South Hill,
thought it was a matter of first im
portance to place a paid representa
tive at Petersburg during the fall
and winter season in order to combat
a similar activity provided at Peters
burg by the Florida Short Route As
sociation. This suggestion met with
unanimous approval.
Theatre. This is the second of the
Mark Twain classics to come to the
screen. Young Jackie Coogan is again
cast in the role of Tom Sawyer, in
which he made such a hit in the mo
tion picture by that name, and Jun
ior Durkin continues his portrayal
of Huck Finn. Mitzi Green and Jackie
Searl are just as enjoyable in this
picture as they were in Tom Sawyer.
The fat and jolly Eugene' Pallette
heads the cast of adults.,He portrays
one of the pair of desperadoes who
lead Tom and Huck into mischief. The
story carries on the adventures of
wicked design of the bad men and
win more honor and renown.

ket, Southern Pines, suffered the

Another matter that came up was
the responsibility of the vehicle on
the highways. Railroads are held to
strict account for everything they do,
and for every accident or loss, which
is not quite the attitude of the law
towards the gasoline vehicle on the
public road. “I think, said Mr. Pow
ell, “the truck and the bus in commer
cial service should be put on the same
basis as the' railroad in relation to
public business.”
“Our bunch here is not on a busi
ness mission on this occasion in South
ern Pines. They have come down for
a holiday and a social meet. Most of
them are our office and department
men, but they have with thern some
friends from some of the other roads.
The affair is purel/ an outing, al
though they are keeping an eye open
for what they can see, for all Sea
board men are interested in the Sea
board country. They have a desire to
know what service is needed and most
acceptible throughout our field, and
their theory is that for the road to
benefit it must be of service to its
patrons. We think that is going to
bring us our share of prosperity as
prosperity unfolds. But I am not look
ing for a revival of business through
any magical influences. Neither am
I alarmed greatly over the prospect,
for I think we are gradually getting
on a more substantial footing, and
that as we all get to digging in in-
divually, foi*getting our scares, and
supplementing our optimism with the
determination to drive ahead in ener
getic manner we will come out all
right in due season.”

Miss Crawford opportunities in the

she has been so successful in the
