Costly school establishments
are all right, if the people can
pay for them. But Mr. Tufts is
not far off when he says cheap
er buildings could serve the real
purpose if we cannot pay for
costlier ones. This is not wholly
a sentimental attitude, for with
tw’enty-five hundred names on
the delinquent tax list in Moore
countj’ last fall it is apparent
that a fairly large number of
tax payers are called on for
more money than they can pay.

sin and sorrow things that are
made to sell are made to sell. To
sell them they have to meet th^
approval of the people, and the
people who make the things do
not care to make vile stuff a bit
more than to make the purest
stuff in the world. That is not
their struggle. They have but
the one measure and that is to
make the stuff that will sell, that
will draw the crowd and get the
money. If folks will go to pay
their money for questionable
stuff and will not patronize the
cleaner quality’ there is just one
place to remedy this situation
and that is with the theater
goer. Mr. Picquet tries to pick
as far as the producers will al

But they tell him they can not
make films for his individual
taste. They make stuff in mass
quantity and he buys from
stock or gets nothing.

said Mrs. Hayes this week. “The Pi-

ran my last advertisement I receiv

mont and from Blewetts Falls. North
Carolina. Both customers saw the ad
in The Pilot.”
Sandhills peach growers have also
found this season that advertising
pays. The crowd around Candor have
been advertising in state papers and
over the radio, and they have never
had such a demand, or from such dis
tances, they say. Trucks have been
coming into Candor from many other
states, loading up with Sandhills
peaches and hauling them back home.
The Sunday School Class of the
Baptist Church, Miss Mary Hendricks
teacher, had an enjoyable picnic at
Juniper Lake Wednesday evening.
The Jr. Y. P. C. of the Pre.sbyter-
ian Church, complimented their adult
advisor, Mrs. Jewell Hemphill, on the
evening of her birthday, July 26. with
a beautiful surprise party. They
reached the home en masse, singing
as they entered “Happy Birthday to
You.” Each brought a dainty gift and
after a social hour they served fruits
of all kinds and candies.
Mrs. Janie Muse was special guest
of Mrs. T. N. Campbell of Jonesboro
Friday. The delightful occasion was
the 77th birthday of Mrs. Campbell.
The long table was decorated with
handsome cakes, designating the
number of the honoree’s years. Guests
for the dinner were her children.

MISS F1X)KA MACLEOD LAID
TO REST AT EUPHRONIA
Funeral services were held for
Miss Flora Cornelia MacLeod at Eu-
phronia Presbyterian Church on July
11, conducted by her pastor, the Rev.
J. W. Crinkley of Elise Presbyterian
Church, and the Rev. J. T. Parham,
pastor of Euphronia Church.
Miss MacLeod was in her sixty-
eighth year and the last living mem
ber of the family of the late Angus
and Catherine MacLeod, a prominent
family of Moore county. The last
few years of her life she was unable
to walk but bore her affliction with
cheerful patience and was ever grate
ful to those who administered to her.
She was tenderly associated in hearts
and affection by nieces and nephews
who mourn her passing.
Following the services at the
church the body was laid to rest in
the family plot at the cemetery. The
flowers were many and beautiful.
A large crowd of relatives and friends
attended the services. During the
closing part of her life, though Miss
MacLeod was largely helpless and a
nervous patient, still she showed in
a clear way the sweet faith of a
child of God, She greatly appreciated
the reading of the Scriptures and
Prayer; the Bible was a great com
fort to her.

AND ITS COST
A somewhat illuminating let
ter from Leonard Tufts present
ed one phase of the school ques
tion that is worth considering at
this time. He says education can
be acquired in a wooden build
ing of modest cost as w'ell as in
an expensive structure with all
the elaborate adjuncts, includ
ing bond debt and taxation. Mr.
Tufts is worth li.stening to in
this case as in most others in
which he ventures his opinion.
He is entitled to speak on the
subject, for in addition to being
one of the most helpful men in
the county he is the biggest tax
payer, contributing a larger
amount of the county mainte
nance than any other man in the
county, and always adding a lit
tle on the side after he has paid
his share as set down on the
tax books.
It is pleasant to have elabo
rate equipment of every kind—
if we can pay the bills. But if
we can not pay the bills that is
a question that settles itself.
Many prominent men have been
educated in very modest school
houses. In fact the little old red
school houses turned out a
crop of leaders that has had an'
extremely prominent hand in all
the great advances this country
has made. Many of our great
