AUTO OIL TRUCK CKASH NEAR CALVARY CHURCH A “traffic jam" near Calvary church on Route 27 resulted in a minor accident on Monday when the flU truck of C. F, Barnes of Car thage bumped into the rear of c.n automobile in which a Mr. and Mrs. Bartholomew and sister of Louis- burg were riding. A tobacco truck was .stopped on the edge of the high- way on a grade and the oil truck came over a hill and struck the au tomobile which was proceeding very slowly as it approached the park ed truck. The sister of Mr. Bartholomew suf fered an injury to her head and after being attended by a Carthage doc tor was carried to the hospital in Sanford for an xray. It was thought that the party would be able to con tinue the journey on Tuesday.

This somewhat reasonable question is answered in the affirmative by "Redheads On parade,” calculated to make the world red hair conscious, which is the attractive at the South ern Pines Theatre, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 26, 27, 28, ' with a Tuesday matinee. ' “Redheads On Parade” features one of our old favorites Dixie Lee, now Mrs. Bing Crosby, and John Boles, both of w'hom have singing and dancing numbers. Basically, with romantic, dramat- , ic, comic and relative contrasting qualities included, the story is a : picture of picture making. As such, in portraying the difficulties some times encountered in such an activ ity and the wiles and strategems created to overcome them, it is quite a ribbing satire of some of the meth ods in which producers sometimes nia\# indulge. In doing so, it gives many behind the scenes glimpses of the mechanics of picture making. The story, primarily romantic, moves to the tune of laugh-provoking com- jcdy, music, dancing and fast action. Its lavish backgrounds are typical of a modern Hollywood motion pic- ture studio and an ultra modern beau ty shop, with many spectacular se quences, featuring a host of beauti ful girls, which materially add to its gay atmosphere. An added attrac tion is Pop Eye The Sailor in “Diz zy Divers.” Gable is seen as a swashbuckling prospector w'ho meets a young San Francisco society beauty, played by Loretta Young, on the trail. Thrown together, their codes conflict. How ever, with life stripped of all the ar tifices of civilization, their differ ences vanish and they fall in love. Jack Oakie supplies the comedy relief as Gable’s wise-cracking bud dy, while also prominently cast are Frank Conroy, Reginald Owen. Kath erine DeMille, Sidney Toler and “Buck,” the new dog star. The entire picture was filmed in the snow country of remote north, ern Washington. The location on towering Mount Baker, where the company of 150 actors actually faced danger and starvation when they were marooned by the worst blizzard to hit the Northwest in six years, is scenically magnificent and bears a striking resemblance to the gold rush locale. ; H.

INTERESTING NEWS FROM OLD SOUTHERN I'INES PAPERS (Continued from page 1) chickens, no further ramage was done. The Free Press was an early news paper. The Pine Knot antedated the Press. Jay Tefft of Port Jefferson,, L. I., was the local editor who open ed the road and produced the town’s pioneer publication. Printing the lo cal newspaper half a century ago evidently was not an absorbing task that kept the editor wholly occupied, for as a side line he was ticket agent, the first ticket agent for Southern Pines in 1886, if the record is cor. rect. He no doubt needed something else to fill in his time, so found a job around the station, or perhaps, it was the other way ’round. Given time, the paper evolved through the years, the railroad grew, the expansion of each making satis, factory headway. The mixed freights and passenger trains that were run ning about 1894 were serving a com bination traffic, both in human and other freight. Six years later the president and directors of the Sea board Air Line issued invitations for the ceremonies attending the opening of the lines between Richmond and Tampa. “The first through train over the new Seaboard Air Line passed through here Wednesday afternoon in two sections. The trains Were very handsome consisting of six cars. On board were officers of the Sea board with their guests and a num ber of prominent newspaper men.” That was June 2, 1900. Things were picking up. “Work commenced this morning on city water works test well. R. W. Brown in charge.” Mr. Alex Camer on moved from Manley up to South- , ern Pines and becomes a member of the firm of Cameron and McQueen. | The livery stable stimulates prcg- j ress, and invites neighborliness. | “Misses Bonnie Muse, Annie Worthy, j Margaret Harris, Beulah Harrington, | Mess. Jesse Larkin, L. R. Ritter, and i Mr. McIntosh of Carthage paid Dr. I Judd a pleasant call today. Theyj drove from Carthage to Southern ^ Pines, thence to Pinehurst.” Dr. | Judd was the dentist. If you Wiro ' coming for professional service the grinding wheels over the long sandy journey would seem interminable now. Southern Pines maidens were not without advantage. J. Herbert Fer ris advertised his lessons of Pyrog’a- phy and burnt wood. Miss Breneman of the Potter school offered physical culture, delsarte and elocution, danc ing and music. A performance with admission and you saw Irene Couch recite “Old Soapy," “The Bridal Wine Cup,” by Evelyn Vroom, “In the Kegs,” Lula Blue. Marie St. John, Grace Sadelson and others were names prominent then. The titles from their recitations suggested ghi and suds. But that was before we worried much about prohibition. “The first Washington Regiment of Volunteers reached San Francis co from Manilla on the Transport Pennsylvania last Monday. In the regiment is Henry Junge, a son of our townsman, W. F. Junge. He will reach Southern Pines about Thanks, giving. “Mr. Junge wears the prettiest roses. He has over sixty varietie.s in his garden, blooming profusely now.” Tb‘>t was in the fall of 1899. Kindly old neighbor lived many years to share his flowers and cordiality. The local items for the Fall ot thirty.six years ago had many fa miliar names. The Grouts have le- turned from Washington. Mr. Rug- gles is having his house painted. "Our friend H. A. Page, besides bt- ing president of the Aberdcvn and Asheboro railroad is now mayor of Aberdeen. He says he will enforce the law giving his town good gov- trnment.” Mary Richardson arrived from Maine, recently graduated from Bellevue hospital. New Yorli Cit.v. The paper says she is a bright yiunj woman who ranked second in her class of twenty-five. Miss Mary har> F'ucc been promoted. Most of ner ar.- rr.irers would say she wasn’t second to anything, around town. The Bap tist church had preaching at eleven a. m. A baptizing in tlie little lake at Dr. Sadelson’s at 9:30. All were invited. Prices o* t-jod ana clothing were lew. Willis Voung sold milk fur lev- en cents a a lart. Huffine disposed of fc;.« wares fo" f. modest sum. cal- iooes were si)d for four and fsix cents a yard. Patch and William.s were operating a dry goods anci g'o:- ci v store. The Piney Woods I’';i was the leading hotel. An accurate philos opher wrote: “Every pleasant day a number of golfers are seen on the links adjoining the Piney Woods Inn. The indications are that golf will grow in favor." The Tourist supplants the Free Press in 1904. “Royal welcome to the Governcr. Southern Pines crowds the Piney W'oods Inn to honor the chief magis trate. He wins the Yankee. Govern or Aycock in his happiest frame of mind captured his exotic constituen cy long before he arose to speak.” That everybody was all dressed up was easily seen. “The brilliant lights, the floral decorations and the hand some toiletts of the women gave an air of luxury and gayety not often seen so far away from large centers of population. The ladies vied with CLEANING HOUSE Getting Ready for AN EARLY FALL SEASON Our After Inventory Sale Continues With prices drastically reduced in Summer Shoes, Dresses, Millinery Gloves, Silk Underthings C.

Anyway Governor Aycock with T.T^'s. A. M. Clarke on his arm led the way, while Divine blessing was invoked by the venerable P. H. Laufman.” It was an enthusiastic assemblage. Ay cock said he came to capture the Yankees and found they had captur ed him. W. A. Blue, O. H. Folley, M. H. Folley, C. N. Blue and J. J. Heckart were among the Aberdeen guests at the banquet. “Washington’s birthday was cele brated by 39 young ladies giving an entertainment in Clarke’s opera house Tuesday evening. It consisted of a musical melange, with the addi tional feature of character sketches indicative of Colonial day^s in Mjussa- chusetts. J. H. Tilghman, Walter Blue, I. L. Hamlin, J. Schwartz and I. C. Edgerton were Continental Guards. R. E. Geyer was George Washington, Vedah Southerland play ing the part of Mary. Miles Standish, Dr. L. H. High, Pocohontas, Kate Holcomb, John Alden, Roscoe Dun- ham.” There was a long lists of Washington's other friends. James Boyd of Harrisburg buys the Widow Blue timber through Junge and Beck. The tract of land had something over 500 acres and extended from the ridge east of the village across the low highlands to head of James Creek. About the same time John D. Rockefeller was interested enough in the Shaw ridge to look it over and inquire into the value of land. The oil man was here to visit an old school friend, the wife of Judge Lacey, w’hose acquaint, ance began when students in 1856 at Oswego Academy. The Boyds made their acquisition in 1904. Carried on in the hands of the grandsons they have become valuable neighbors and important in the development of the entire community.
