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.

If a picture starring a platinum
' blonde could make the United States
a nation of platinum blonde women,
I why shouldn’t a picture of all red
heads put red hair back on the map?
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.

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

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."

That everybody was all dressed up
was easily seen. “The brilliant lights,
the floral decorations and the hand

air of luxury and gayety not often
seen so far away from large centers
of population. The ladies vied with

“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

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.
Many hands were active in shaping
the little town’s early growth. Some
of the older ones are yet. While many
are memories.
