OWNER The famous old Jackson Springs li40- tel is no more. It burned to the ground, main building and annex, in a fire v.iiifh .starte.i about o;3U o’clock Wed- lusiJay afternoon. The hotel was un- oicujiied. The Pinehurst Fire Depart- nu nt responded to an alarm, but the firo was beyond contriol before it ar rived, and its efforts were confined to .■•aving nearby cottages. The Jackson Springs hotel was one of the most picturesque and historic old houses of this coinnninity. Long before it was built the character ,of the water flowing from beside a big diabase dyke h.id brought to the >piings a patronage that made of the place a pojiular summer resort and 1 calth cur... Cottages were built there and peoi)le came and set up tents for t'kmporary shelter. They came for miles from this state and South Carolina, and Jackson Springs was the meeting place ,of the clan.s, iiiu^h as the old Yarboro hou.'^e in Ki'leigh before it burned, was the po litical ami social headquarters of Xorth Carolina. Before Pinehurst had been dreamed of Jackson Springs was a famous play ground and health re- .‘.ori;, and it is possii-le that the old ly<tel antedated anything that now ex-, ii-ts as a public place in the Sand hills. Water Becomes Famous The popularity of the springs had . engaged the attention of B. F. Buch- A group of V^ass business men and Several of the leading farmers of the community met in the Beasley apart ment building in Vass last Friday evening for the purpose ,of organizing : a chamber of commerce. Temporary, officers were appointed as follows: j Chairman, R. L. Mayfield; Vice- Chairman, T. Frank Cameron; Sec-1 rotary, C. L. Tyson, and Treasurer, H. A. Borst. The organization has as its purpose the unbuilding of V'ass and conimun-! ity. One definite aim that is in the fiorefront at j>resent is the putting! over of a marketing project which it | is hoped will work for the mutual | gootl of the farmer.s and the town. i Interesting and enthusiastic talks were made by W. B. (Jraham, A. L. Marvel, E. L. McNeill, T. Frank Cameron: A. L. Keith, J. M. Tyson and R. P. Beasley. j A program committee composed of R. P. Beasley, W. B. Graham and C. L. Tys,oii was appointed, and A. L.; Marvel, Lewis Furr and II. A Borst were named as an entertainment i committee.

This is a most creditable showing for the county when considered in compari son with the reports of some of the other counties, and speaks well for the citizens of Moore and for the business ability of the tax collector. Mr. Huntley has brought abjout an appreciable increase in the amount of special taxes collected on filling sta tions, slot machines, etc., and with his genial manner and courteous at tention to the numerfl^us questions brought to him by the citizens of the county has gained firm fqothold in Iheir esteem. By Struthers Hurt, \'ice I’resident, Moore County Hospital It is now three weeks since the lo cal committee started to raise fund'-- for the Southern Pines quota for the M'pport of the Moore County Hosjii- tal during the year 1U32. As Chair man of that c.ominittee, also as Vice-1 President and Chairman of the Fi- ' iiancial Committee of the hospi.al, tliei'o are certi’iii figures I can now lelease, and am glad to release, in re gard to Southern Pines. So far the uMiijiaign has been going more than well, and if those who intend to sub scribe but have no^ yet subscribed, and if those who are hesitating, will only send in their subscription cards, SiHithern Pines this year will by far better its record of any previous year. Possibly not in actual money, although general supjiort which is so valuable to an institution like a ho&pital, and even that seems probable, but in that which is so heartening to those men and women who, witli)Out recompense, give their time and thought to such institutions. In this present gloomy period of the world’s history it is pleasant to have at 'east one cheer ing report to make. In 1930 fifteen people from South ern Pines subscribed t,o the Moore County Hospital. The total of their subscriptions was $644.00; to this was added $618.00 from an exhibition golf match, bringing the final total to $1,- 262.00.
