Some of the travelers who could be routed down IT) to Sanford come that way to Durham o.r farther north and then go by way of Greens boro, or other routes to the South, and some even go by Lynchburg while others co^ntinue through ,the Shenendoah valley and cross into North Carolina by Winston-Salem McLean led the hitting for Aber deen with two doubles and a single followed by Ferree, Folley and B.

Russell and Ferree each with a sin gle were the only .Aberdeen players Golf has been hard put to it to hold its own in the Sandhills dur ing the summer—baseball, peaches, etc., have just about occupied the spotlight. However, there has been quite a hit of interest on the part of the regulars, and the events of the Summer Golf Club have been of especial interest. For the benefit of those who like to keep up with these matters and keep a line on the local competion they will meet when they get back in the fall, here are the results so far: For the week ending June 4.—Med al play etc. June 4th—Medal play, full handi cap, prize for low net, won by Rus sell Kelly, net fill.

THIS MATTER OF TAX REDl(’TION (Continued from Page One) the Association has in mind, and to do this one big idea is to make the Jiighway attractive in every way. The final dream is to have the roadside ed a fine game in the outfield for Aberdeen. Southern Pines Wins Close Game The heavy batters of Cameron planted ultimately from one end of fame down to Southern Pines Satur- the route to the other, and to en-1‘fay and with eight runs tallied to coui'age every villas^e to spruce up' ^*ve for Southern Pines at the close all through its town street, to clean inning seemed to have up on the same basis that Southern ^he game well in hand but the local Pine.i is emphasizing on May street ^' staged a brilliant rally in the which the highway traverses throughand won the game 10 to the town.

We want the farmers as well as the town folks fo feel a pride in saying that the road goes by theiir places. We hope to make Route No. 1 the model out- a close decision on 1st. MANLY E. B.

All friends are urged to come or send help. Those who cannot do either, but wish to send a dona tion, (wTiich will be gratefully receiv ed) can send .same to J. P. Swett, Cameron Route 1.

Herbert Cameron of South ern Pines called to see Miss Mary Cameron Sunday. Miss Sarah Patter son spent Friday night with Miss Irene Maples at her home in Knoll- wood. .Mr. and Mrs. L. L.

Wondering just how many people would have been affected if the tax .<ale had not been postponed this year, a Pilot representative asked the tax collector for this information and he obligingly 'brought out the book from which a count was made. The count .'^howed that 305 items had been paid since June 1. If all of these items had been for real estate, the added cost to the taxpayers for ad vertising would have been $488. The chances are, however, that of this to tal a small number were for personal property only. Personal property is not advertised, but delinquents are required to pay 70 cents extra to cov er cost of sending out a collector to collect the tax on such property. Then there is the matter of Sche dule B. taxes w'hich include those on filling stations, slot machines a(adi things of that nature. The license for these runs from June 1 to May 31 and carries a penalty which increases five per cent, each month after the limit for payment at par is reached. The tax collector goes out and collects these items, so it would seem that payers of this tax would be liable to find themselves charged with a fif teen per cent, penalty if the tax col lector were off the job three months of the year, it was suggested. All of which goes to show that the question of making things easier for the over burdened tax payer is a many-sided one. JUDGE OGLESBY ADDRESSES WEEKLY KIW'AMS MEET PEACH SEASON FALLS SHORT OF EARLY PROMISE' (Continued from page 1) high as 200 cars a day during the lat ter part of July. This heavier move ment from Georgia and California to- i gether with the increasing shipments i from North Carolina began to accum- j ulate in the receiving markets. Geor-1 gia’.^ movements was delayed longer i tha i normally and California endeav-; ored to dispose of a large percent of, her crop than ordinarily through the I fresh fruit channel. It should be ^ brought out that, although the to-' tal shipments of California peaches j was not much heavier this season than in prveious years for the same per | iod, the shipments of fresh fruit from , this state which competed with the, southern peaches was very much, heavier fTian usual. During this same period in 1931 California shipped ■ {,radically all of her fruit to the can-; ners, while in 1932 nearly all of it j went to the fresh fruit markets. The | result of all those factors was a ' very sharp decline in prices. On July 29th track hoklings in the 12 terminal markets totaled 5J cars, while to days later theie were 482 car'. North Carolina’s peak day was , .August 10th when 184 cars were ship-1 lied. Fruit did not go into consump-1 tion as quickly as ordinarily and' there was practically no demand, j Most of the cars rolled unsold and; there were too few f. o. b. sales to e.'^tahlish a market. Even after (»eor-1 and the North Carolina seson was [ gia was practically through shippin'.r | w ell advanced, the Trade at receiving | points wa.s hesitant in buying free ly. The sections following North Carolina namely, Virginia, Kastejn Share Maryland and Delaware to-; gether with New Jersey and Pennsyl vania. started shipping at about their; normal time and with the delayed movement of North Carolina, there was little time between these sections. At the clor-e of the season when the North Carolina supplies were practi cally cleaned up there was slightly better demand and moderate trading with the markets holding about steady. John Gilbert turns author and vil- lian at the same time in “Downstairs,” his latest starring picture which is the special atti’action at the Southern Pines Theatre, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, August 25-26-27. As an author he has furnished one of the strange.st and most gripping plots the screen has seen in some time. As an actor he gives the screen a debonair, unscrupulous villian who makes up in audacity w’hat he lacks in morals. The star upset all precedent, abandoning romantic roles, to play this part, a cold-blooded charactreiza- tion which might have been written for E Von Stroheim—in fact it was planned that Gilbert direct the Aus trian screen malefactor in “Down stairs.” Gilbert proves that villains can be not only interesting but glamorous in his vivid portrayal of the astonish ing character who enters a castle “downstairs” through the servant’s hall as a chauffeur an dspreads a web of intrigue that enmeshes cook, count ess, butler and baron alike. There is a terrible dramatic climax. There are light comedy moments when the vil lain gaily hoodw'inks royalty and servants alike. There are tense dra matic moments when he escapes de tection 'by sheer audacity. No weak ling story is this—but real, solid drama. Gilbert is the Gilbert of “The Big Parade” again in this offering. “I.»ownstairs” boasts of an ideal sup porting cast. Paul Lukas as the But ler i.'- superb. \'irginia Bruce (who be came Mrs. John Gilbert the other day) offers a distinguished portray al of the lady’s maid who falls a vic tim to the t'illain’s wiles. .\nd ex ceptional work is done by Hedda Hop per, Reginald Owen, Olga Bacloniva, Bodil Rosing, Otto Hoffman, Lucien Littlefield and Marion Lessing. The story has been lavishly produced with picturesque backgrounds and inter esting details of the manner in which peasants tread grades with their bare feet in the process of making w'ine, the elaborate routine and running or. der of an aristocratic castle and the contrast in the background of the owners “upstairs” and the servant staff “downstairs.” It is hard to .say wherein Gilbert takes the best bow —as author or as star.
