t*age Four THE PILOT, Southern Pines and Aberdeen, North Carolina Friday, April 12, 1935. BIRD CLUB MKAIBKRS ARE GUESTS OF MR. AND MRS. HUTT Members and guests of the South ern Pines Bird Club were delightful-, ly entertained at the home of Mr. | and Mrs. W. N. Hutt last Thursday. A | very unique program had been ar-! ranged by the host, including an in- I teresting description by Mrs. D. A.; Grover of the woodcock’s “peculiar j song and evolutions,” which she had: witnessed. j To add to the generous display of, bird nests which each one was asked | to bring and later identify, was the wonderful collection of bird eggs brought by Mrs. Fowler, a bird en thusiast, who gave a short talk on various episodes of bird lore. H. H. Brimley, Curator of the State Museum, Raleigh, who had been invited to come and give a talk on birds, sent a letter of regret and al.so a very interesting article on dif ferent phases of bird life which was read by Mrs. Hutt and thoroughly enjoyed by those present. At the con clusion of the delightful program re freshments were served by the host ess.

TONIGHT OVER N. B. C. 10:30 OVER COAST-TO-COAST NETWORK OF NBC COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO.. Aberdeen, N. C. i BR'ISO-Z i By Helen K. Butler Along in the middle of February George T. Dunlap of Pinehurst ask ed Father for a name for the new development company that embraces the Pine Needles Hotel. He WEinted a name that was strictly applicable to this particular neighborhood. After considerable thinking and inquiry into suggestions offered and presented Father finally thought the word Patuxent the fitting one for the re juvenated hotel, as the low rolling hills on w’hich It stands are made up of the compact sands and clays known in the geological world as the Patuxent formation, a narrow belt beginning in the northern half of Wayne county running through to the South Carolina line in Robeson coun ty. Old Mother Nature is a slow and deliberate worker, never doing any thing in a hurry. So when she set out to make the sandy clay hills she was a long, long time in the process. But as she worked with her usual care and precision the result is that most of us are reasonably satisfied with the job she finally accomplished. As she didn’t cover all her tracks, the deposits tell the story of a wearing down of much higher hills that ages ago extended from southwest to nor thwest through Moore county, leav ing its trace in every township. North ern Moore county rocks are among the real aristocrats, as they are legit imately connected with the oldest families and “were among those present” long before the great Miss issippi valley had risen from the wa ter, as^ they are still among the old est above the level of the sea. Geological Survey After Campbell made his survey of the Deep River coal fields we often were along in the car with Father who was interested in checking over the field, following out the slips or faults, dikes and outcropping of coal, finding the red sand stones in their proper places and many other inter esting things, as about that time the Carolina coal mine was lively in its activities. We trailed along the best part of one summer on those fasci nating jaunts. On several occasions Dr. Stuckey, then State geologist was along. He also had a fashion of drop ping and pointing out interesting bits of formation. Some of us were only required on the expeditions in the form of chauffeurs, but being includ ed at all was the important factor. The trips were worth while, and a better acquaintance gained with the county and adjoining Chatham came with such contacts. Howard, my engineer brother, will tell in a more technical manner a paragraph or two about the word Patuxent. "The Patuxent Hotel was named for the geological formation on which it is built. This lower cretaceous strat um derived its name from the Patux ent River in Maryland. It is the basal deposit of the Coastal Plains and is the oldest cretaceous formation. It rests uncomfortably on the old ig neous and metamorphic rocks of the Pre-Cambrian age, dipping slightly toward the coast, southeast and dis appearing coastward beneath the newer formations. It is believed the Patuxent formation was distributed and deposited by streams originating in higher lands to the west. These swift streams loaded up with decom posed crystalline rocks similar to the formations we now have in the Pied mont plateau, mainly granites, schists and gneisses, dropped the sus pended sediment crossii^ the Coas tal Plain belt when the lower grad ient slowed the velocity of the cur rents which made them deposit large quantities of sediment held in sus pension on the plain. This deposition period was followed by an uplift of the Coastal Plain, increasing the ve locity of the streams which no lon ger dropped the suspended material but carried it on out to sea. “Years ago when John McQueen was connected with Pinehurst he was invited to go to Wilmington to tell them how to build the good sand clay roads such as we have in Moore county. He went down to look the situation over and told them they would have to move the roads up to Moore county where they could get the clay to build them. The material in Mo(Jre county for splendid roads is the dense argilla ceous sand of the Patuxent forma tion. I “The fossils of this period show plants, ferns and conifers. In drilling a 24-inch well in the lower edge of the formation large quantities of lignite and one piece of wood was en countered about 150 feet below the surface. The piece of wood was in excellent state of preservation, not CARTHAGE Mrs. J. L. McGraw, Mrs. Charles Cox and Mrs. Alonzo Blue attended the Presbyterial in Lumberton last Tuesday and Wednesday.

EDUARD A. MORRISON OF PINEHURST P.ASSES AWAY Edward A. Morrison of Pittsburgh and Pinehurst died in the Charlotte Sanatorium in Charlotte last Satur day night after an illness of several weeks. A son of John E. and Eliza Jane Morrison, he was born March 4th, 1867 in the Old Fourth ward in Pitts- burge. Pa., and in which city he re ceived his early education. He was employed for years by the H. K. Por ter Locomotive Works and resided in Pittsburgh before making his home with his sister, Mrs. Lawrence Barr in Pinehurst.

Interment fol lowed in Homewood Cemetery, Pitts burgh. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Barr of Pinehurst left for Pittsburgh Sunday night to accompany the body.
