SEAWELL IN
THE CAMPAIGN
Entered at the Postoffice at South
ern Pines, N. C., as second-class mail
natter.
The announcement by H. F.
Soawell, Jr., that he is an active
Address all communications to The j Candidate to represent Moore
Pilot, Inc. Southern Pines. N. c. jcounty in the coming Legislature
brings into the summer cam-,,
paign a rather intei'esting fea
ture, and one that will probably
have a definite effect on the
whole process of the election.
From what Mr. Sea well says a
wholly new line of political tac
tics is ahead of us, for he is not
entertaining anything like a po
litical antagonism, but a presen
tation of economic and of public
problems that have become so
acute that they are practically
presenting themselves. While he
is a Republican he is not basing
his campaign on that ground,
for he says that he is entering a
contest that is strictly a State
affair, and chiefly applied to
county relations. National mat
ters are outside of his field or
concern for several reasons, one
being that at the present the
President has on his hands the
demonstration of some theories
that are of vital importance and
that as we of the smaller politi
cal subdivisions have no jurisdic
tion over the national matters
and that these latter are not in-
THE TOUCH OF
A MAGIC WAND
The building plans for Fine-
hurst are among the most sig
nificant that have been announc
ed in a long time. The Robertson
house near The Carolina, the Ra-
zook store, the new postoffice
building, and the rebuilt com
munity building give noteworthy
elaboration to the entire heart
of the village, and all of it of
8uch advanced distinction that
Pinehurst by next winter will
'have been lifted to a wholly new
architectural level. In all the
work new types are introduced,
but in complete harmonv with
that note that has been domi
nant all the way through che ev
olution of the Pinehurst village.
Nor is this the end, for other
building plans are in sight, both
in Pinehurst and Southern Pines,
and it is apparent that as the
season advances more con
struction will be going forward.
The information is to the effect
that the same ideals will be ob-
ing those that are to happen. But
if Mr. Seawell can bring to the
people of this county, and to this
portion of the state, an inquir
ing interest in the financial con
dition of State and county, and
can help the county commission
ers to get across to the people

THE PAGE TRUST
COMPANY PAYMENT
The payment of a twenty per
cent dividend to depositors of
the Page Trust Company makes
things look better in the terri
tory covered by the banks. The
hope is entertained that further
payments will follow as collec
tions are realized until the loss
to depositors will be much less
than has been anticipated. The
situation, of course, is dependent
on the success of the liquidating
agents in realizing on the securi
ties held, which seems now bet
ter than was at one time antici
pated.
The Page Trust Company at
one time had in excess of five
millions in deposits, with practi
cally the same amount in loans.
At that time everything in its
territory appeared to be in the When they voted for Cooley for
