William Reiner, of Southt-rn I Pines, formerly from West Point, N. j Y., a retired army officer, in the i last few (lays has closed a deal which | gives him [lossession of the 170-acre! tract of land on the top of Mt. Heli-j con, better knovm as the Heid Page! property. The tract includes a fine j apple orchard with a considerable acre- ] age of peaches, botli of which Capt. Reiner says he hopes to maintain and operate to such extent as will be prai- tical. This ai>i)le oi-chard has been one of the largest things of its kind in this section, yielding an excellent quality of fi'uit. ' Nothing will he done in the way of building this year as the season is too far advanced, but Captain Reiner says he has plans in his head for nf"ct year, embodying a ten-rooin house, on a site not yet selected. In a little talk with The Pilot on his new possession Capt. Reiner ex))ress- ed his intention of first of all mak-1 ing a rather complete personal sur-, vey of tile laml and the neighborhood, | as the entire summit of the ridge for' foUi' or five miles is considered in his figuring is one big unit that is all related.

Proctor owns a part of the high land and ^'rancis Robinson also adjoins for a considerable dis tance, and the Captain thinks that the plan for development up there On the summit should keep in mind the relative values of the whole sum mit and slope rather than to be a strictly individual proposition. Historic Location The property is on the hill above' the Bethesda church east of .Abertieen, southeast of the Proctor orchard, and extending out toward the Daniel McXeill farm on the head of Rock-, fish creek. The altitude is probably within a few feet of the highest point in Moore or Hoke countie.s, and per haps exc'tecled by nothing unless the hilltop on Weymouth near the site of the new Jenks house now starting on Highland ro.ids near Connecticut avenue. Helicon Mountain was the lo cation under which the early Scotch picked a idace on the east side for their old Solenm Grove Academy and their original church at the “Head of Kockfish,” by which name old Be thesda is still known by the older set tlers.

While the unusual interest in the fall elec tions this year will hold most of the folks back until the early days of November, already cottages are be ing engaged for the winter and old settlers are appearing on the streets. The Carolina at Pinehurst has set the opening date for November 10, two days after the election, which is as early as people can vobp’ and get away from home. This permits the golf tournaments to open on Novem ber 15 with the Thirteenth Ahnual Midsouth Open for two days, follow ed November 21 to 24 with the Seven teenth Annual Carolina tournament. From then on events move forward regularly throughout the winter. Affairs at the rare track will start November 24, with the other sports of archery, trapshooting, the rifle range, tennis, polo and the horse show March 30 and the dog show early in January. The schedules will be announced from time to time. In Southern Pines plans are ready for the return of the winter residents.

The article was illustrated with fine halftones showing a golf match at the Southern Pines Country Club, p meet of the Moore County Hounds, a view Ai'.otliei’ tobacco season is here and it started with a bang in Aberdeen. The opening sale was in the Aberdeen \\'arc‘house, operated this year by B. B. Saunders, and so much tobacco ap- [.eai ( (i on the flooi- before 10 o'clock Tuesday, the-opening day, there was n<j I'oom loft for aisles for the auc tioneer and buyers. Saunders had close to 7(),(iOO pounds of leaf in this warehouse. The other house, operated this .season by a newcon’.er, C. H. hiU'tiwick of I.oi'is, South Carolina, opened Tuesday afternoon. The price aveinged bet'Aeen 11 and 12 cents in the two wai'eluiusts. (rowds attended the opening' and tarly bids of the scores of buyers^ here from all the principal companies, were watched with eager interest. .''0nu‘ of the early lots auctioned bi’ciught high prices, some running over .3(1 cents, but there was much lower grade leaf offered as the sale progressed. Most of the growers, es- l e.ially those who had good leaf here, were much pleased with the leturns. Some of those with poorei' stuff to cffor said they were satisfied. There was not a great deal of grumbling, and an optimistic tone seemed to pre vail. The sales were run off well, with E. B. Maynard doing the auction eering in both houses. There were new faces among the buyers, a few familiar ones. On Other Markets Prices ran about the same in other markets of the Old Bright Belt. San ford reported .?12.0fi a hundred av erage for its opening, and sales of !»4,000 pounds. Sales at Carthage were reported light but with a good av erage. Oxford reported §11.93 for its openintr day average. Wednesday the rain kept many far. mers away, but Aberdeen sales totall- efi around 2o,000 pounds at a little undei .$12.00. Quality was fair. The sale.? covered tobacco from Ellerba, Cedar Creek, Fayetteville, Red Springs, Vass, Cameron, Biscoe, Ether, Candoi- and other [ oints. B. B. Saundeis says the quality of the leaf this year is as good or bet ter than last, but the crop available will not exceed 50 per cent of a year ago. A look over the warehouse floors indicates a better type than came in last year at the opening. Although the summer was not kindly toward the tobacco farmer, some sections of the Sandhills appear to have made a right good amount of leaf of good quality. Two sample shipments from the Montrose neighboi'hood shijw what the market did for the man who had the good quality leaf. Lots offered by Seaford & Love brought the following prices: IT 1-2, 11. 20, 20, 25, 21 1-2 and 1" cents a pound.
