of the Sandhill Territory of North Carolina
Southern Pines and Aberdeen, North Carolina, Friday, June 8, 1934.
$77,000 Provided for New '
Postoffice Here in Measure
of Congress Finance Body
Allotment For Southern Pines
Cut $18,000 But Prompt
Action is Indicated
LAMBETH WELL PLEASED’
Though with $18,000’sliced off the
original appropriation Southern Pines j
will get its new postoffice building ]
in the near future if the Appropria
tions committee of the House of Rep
resentatives has its way. According i
to a special despatch to The Pilot
from Washington, the road was pav-1
ed this week for diverting $65,000,000
of Public Works Administration,
money into the postoffice building j
program by the reporting of an >
emergency appropriation bill. Of this
sum $1,834,000 would come to North
Carolina, $77,000 to Southern Pines.
The appropriations committee in
fact took up the old Hoover prog
ram of providing employment in the
building industry and restored the
plan, cast into the governmental
wa.«te basket a year ago when the
Public Works Adrhinistration took
over the postoffice building projects.
Congress had voted the postoffice
building fimd to the CCC camps on
assurance that it would be restored
from the recovery act lunds, but
since the PWA has authorized only
f about 230 new postoffices of the 600
that had been authorized by Congress
and for which money had been ap
propriated, they are now put back on
the lists.
Some changes are made in the
North Carolina program, however, as
compared with the appropriations two
years ago. Changes are: Albemarle,
reduced $160,000; Dunn, cut $7,000;
Fayetteville, reduced $8,000; Gastonia,
slashed $74,000; Morganton, reduced
$10,000; Raleigh, increased $26,000;
Reidsville, increased $38,000; Sanford,
cut $1,500; Shelby, reduced $165,000;
Rockingham. increased. $30,000;
Southern Pines, reduced $18,000; Wil
mington, reduced $7,000, and Win
ston-Salem, $100,000.
Owing to the fact that material and
labor has increased 25 per cent since
January 1, 1933, and proposals for
bids have necessarily been rescinded
in a number of instances as was done
at North Wilkesboro, the committee
asks Congress to appropriate $2,500,-
000 to be used in carmg for projects

To the regret of the School Board,
the faculty and students of the

Brown has resigned his position at
the school and returns to Charlotte to
enter the insurance business. Coming

The ppoduction of a normal crop of
peaches in the /landhills for this
season. A few Mayflowers already
have reached the market, selling from
four to five dollars a bushel. This,
however is not considered a criterion
upr;n which to base the ultimate re
sults for the season.
The main crop of peaches, beginning
with Hiley Belles, is not expected to
start prior to July 10 to 15, 10 days
Or two weeks later than last year.
Likewise Georgia Belles probably
will move July 20 to 25 and Elbertas
July 30 to August 5.
It is expected that Georgia will
produce 10,000 cars of peaches this' advantages enjoyed by the youth of
year but present conditions point j today, and the opportunities they
to the greater part of the crop have to succeed in life. “To choose
south of Macon being moved prior the right things and to reject the
to the starting of the main crop in' wrong, is the greatest test of char-
North Carolina. Likewise this should c<cter” said Dr. Cheatham to the
moving ever heard in Southern Pines
and made a deep impression on every
person in the hall.
The Seniors entered the auditorium
in single file between two rows of
alumni and took their places on the
attractively decorated stage where the
speakers were awaiting them.
The Rev. Craighlll Brown present
ed the speaker of the evening with a
fevv well-chosen words. Miss Jean
Lane presented Morrell Bentley with
the D. A. R. medal for excellence in
American History, and the diplomas
were awarded by Dr. George G. Herr, ! ’average of 14 miles
president of the school board. A pia
no solo by Sarah Stewart and a vo
cal .solo by Alice Abel were other
numbers on the program.
Tom Carlisle, as president of the
student body, presented Mr. Brown
with a handsome traveling bag, a tok
en of the esteem in which this mem
ber of the faculty has been held by
the students. Mr. Brown has resign
ed fiom the faculty to accept a posi
tion in another field.
The program closed with the sing
ing of the Alma M^ter by the glee
clubs and the benediction delivered by
Father Dillon.
The Rev. T. A. Cheatham of Pine-
hurst delivered the Baccalaureate ser
mon on Sunday night at the Church
of Wide Fellowship. His address

which, when put into practice, will
lighten her work and shorten the
numbers of hours she spends in the
kitchen. The all-electric kitchen is
designed to reduce the number of
steps taken, and the menus to be
prepared will require a minimum of
time.
According to a survey conducted
throughout hundreds of cities in
the United States the average house
keeper walks a distance each year
as far as from Boston to San Fran
cisco. A policeman walks on the
day; a waiter
12 1-2 miles a day; sales girls 8
miles, according to those who com
piled the information.
Most of us have sympathy for the
policeman, the waiter, and the store
sales girl because they must spend so
many hours on their feet and walk
long distances daily. However, the
home-maker, or the hounsekeeper,
walks very nearly as far every day
as does the policeman I'r the waiter.
It is the needless s*aps that tire
the busy housewife and add to her
problems of managing a household.
General Electric experts have work
ed out plans to reduce those unnec
essary steps.
Today, the modern, all-electric kit
chen not only saves steps but time—
kitchens are scientifically arranged.
Range, refrigerator, dishwasher, sink
and cupboard storage space—all are
designed for certain spaces which
will save steps.
Grandmother perhaps walked more
than 8 or 9 miles a day in her hou.se-
hold work. The modem woman, with Connect With Shipping Ter-
efficient equipment such as v,'i:i be minals as River Traffic to
used during the all-electric kitchen Opens
demonstration, walks much less than

“I will not call a second pri-

successful opjionent,” K. I.aine
Brown, second man in the three-
cornered race for Solicitor of the
13th Judicial district told The
Pilot over long distance telephone
yesterday. Rowhind S. Pniette of
Wadesboro is therefore the dul.y
nominated Denwratic candidate
for successor to F. Don Phillips.
Don Phillips, of Rockingham,
upset many predictions in defeat
ing Superior Court Judge A. M.
Stuck for judge of the 13th dis
trict, which includes Moore coun-
t.v. Phillips carried Moore county
by 2333 to 1418 votes, the dis
trict by close to 1400 votes.
The d«M-ision of Mr. Brown not
to c^ill a second primary is ex
pected to m«in that no such pri-
niar.v will lie held in Moore, the
local candidates having the right
up to Sundji.v, June 10th to call
one being loath to take the re
sponsibility for such a move ow
ing to the ex|>ense to taxpayers.
Had Mr. Brown caUed for the
priniar.v it is probable that there
would have l>een further voting
for State Senator, the House of
Representatives and the County
Commissioner from the 1st dis
trict.

With few exceptions, those in pub
lic office in Moore county were re
nominated for these offices in the
Democratic primary held last Satur
day. For the most part the electorate
gave them a vote of confidence in and
sati.sfaction with their administra
tion.
Rowe Defeats Humber
Two upseis marked the county vot
ing. J. V'ance Rowe, mayor of Aber
deen, v.-as nominated to succeed Judge
George H. Humber in the Reccjder’s
Court. Judge Humber has occupied
this bench since the establishment of
a Recorder's Court in Moore county.
D. D. McCrimmon of Hemp was
named to supplant E. C. Matheson
as the Democratic nominee for
County Commissioner from the 2d dis
trict. Mr. Matheson has been on the
county board off and on since 1896, a
remarkable record.
For the more important posts. Un
ion L. Spence of Carthage won out
in the three-cornered fight for the
nomination for State Senator. The
vote was close, Mr. Spence having
1653, S. H. Miller of Carthage, 1272
and Sam R. Hoyle 805. W. R. Clegg
almost doubled the vote of his nearest
rival in the race for the nomination
for the House of Representatives,
having 1676 to A. B. Cameron’s 877,
N. L. Gibbon’s 842 and Jesse D.
Frink’s 337. Mr. Cameron is the pres
ent representative of the county in
the Legislature.
Charles J. McDonald was re-nam
ed for Sheriff, polling 1991 votes to
the 1215 for K. G. Deaton of Aber
deen and the 607 tor T. L. Blue of the
Eureka section.
Currie Victorious
There were three contests for
county commissionership, one of which
came close to dislodging the present
chairman of the board, Wilbur H.
Currie. Mr. Currie polled 1744 votes
against 1536 for his fellow townsman
in Carthage, L. Reid Flinchum. D.
A, McDonald, a third candidate, was
given a total of 374.
In the 2d district McCrimmon beat
Matheson by the scant margin of 36
votes; in the 5th district Gordon Cam
eron was named over C. F. Leavitt
by a good marghi. Cameron is a pres
ent member of the board.
As usual W. J. Harrington topped
the list in votes, having a total of
2495 in his campaign for renomina
tion as Register of Deeds. D. Carl
Fry was renominated for Coroner
over L- T. Clark of Southern Pines.
There were three contests in the
