ALL IN READINESS FOR
THE WINTER INVASION
It is early to forecast the
sort of a season we are to have
in the Sandhills. But this we do
know. We are to be prepared
for our winter visitors more ful
ly than in many y«3ars.
Much has been done in the
way of remodeling and redeco
rating The Carolina at Pine-
hurst during the summer
months. An entirely new picture
will greet the guest upon arriv
al there. The entrance lobby
has been materially; revamped,
the main lobby and dining rooms
redecorated, lighting fixtures
changed, many bedroom suites
done over, and a new clubroom
built in the basement. Every
thing will be in readiness for the
hotel’s informal opening on the
30th of this month. The formal
opening is scheduled for the
11th of November.
For the first time in several
years the Pine Needles Inn,
picturesquely located on Knoll-
wood Heights, will be open this
winter. This inn, acquired dur
ing the past j>3ar by men long
prominently identified with the
Sandhills, has been completely
gone over during the summer,
and both exterior and interior
look as new and fresh as they
did when the hotel first opened
its doors in pre-depression days.
Much work has been done on the
grounds suVrounding the inn
and there is no indication about
that the Pine Needles has not
been in operation right along.
With the re-opening Knollwood
Heights will again take its
place among the active colonies
of the Sandhills. Practically all
the attractive Knollwood houses
not regularly occupied by their
owners have been leased for the
season.
It is good news that the High
land Pines Inn will be under
new’ management during the
winter, and in such good hands
as those of the operators of the
famous Red Lion Inn at Stock-
bridge, Massachusets. Since the
death of Andrew I. Creamer
and the impairment in health of
his partner, M. H. Turner, this
Weymouth Heights hostelry has
not attained the heights of pop
ularity it enjoyed when the
Messrs. Creamer and Turner
were able to give it their entire
personal attention. No inn in
the section enjoys a finer loca
tion nor reputation than the
Highland Pines, and with new
blood behind the desk there is
every reason to look forward to
a highly successful season.
The Mid-Pines Club will again
operate as an inn this winter,
with John Fitzgerald in charge
and with its excellent golf
course as well as its attractive
clubhouse in the pines as a lure
to the winter visitor. The Mid-
Pines enjoyed a highlv success
ful season last year, is in splen
did condition, and already ad
mits bright prospects based
upon early bookings.
Other hotels both in Pine-
hurst and Southern Pines have
been improved and redecorated
during the off-season and are in
readiness for the invasion from
the north.
Nor has anything been left un
done to provide entertainment
for the winter visitors. Sports
calendars of both Pinehurst
and Southern Pines are as com
plete as ever, with golf and
horse events dominating the
schedules. Pinehurst will have
its usual run of golf tourna
ments, and the Country Club,
with its completion' of grass
greens on all 18 holes of its fa
mous Number Two course,
should be more popular than
ever. The Southern Pines
courses are in the best condition
they have been in in several
years, and grass tees have been
laid over much of the Number
One course. Southern Pines
plans a feature men’s tourna
ment during the winter and will
again have its popular Women’s
Mid-South event during the sea
son.
The Sandhills Steeplechase &
Racing Association plans its sec
ond annual race meeting on the
new course on the Midland Road
the latter part of March, with
possibly an earlier meeting
j ai'ound Lincoln’s birthday. Many
j prominent owners of steeple-
! chasers and flat horses plan to
I stable them in the Sandhills
I during the season. Both South-
■ern Pines and Pinehurst are to
J have their usual programs of
!g\tnkhana events, the fox and
drag hunting will be as popular
as ever, and the bridle paths at
tract those who prefer hacking
about through the pine woods.
The impression seems gener
al that we are to enjoy a most
successful season.

WARS HOME
AND ABROAD
One war has ended, another
begun since the last issue of
The Pilot, and front pages
throughout the country have
been teeming with big type as
each vied with the other for
headline position.
The domestic war ended on
Monday when “Goose” Goslin,
left fielder of the Detroit Tigers
of the American League, lined a
single over second base bringing
in his manager, “Mickey” Coch
rane with the run which settled
the annual world’s series in
baseball. If you do not classify
this affray as a war in which
the folks are interested, possi
bly the information that more
than one million dollars was
paid in by baseball fans to see
the six games of the series, that
a big motor company paid thous
ands to broadcast the contests
over two national hook-ups, and
that business practically stood
still in Detroit and Chicago on
the da’ > the games were play
ed, will convince you. And
games they were, each a battle
royal. North Carolina takes
pride that one of her sons, Al
vin Crowder, pitched one of the
winning games for Detroit.
The other war is more yer-
ious. Italy opened fire on Ethio
pia in the conflict the remainder
of the world has been attempt
ing to prevent for months. Sol
diers of Mussolini captured the
I city of Aduma, important Ethio-
!pian base, at little loss of life to
i Italy, “terrible slaughter,” as re-
I ported by the press, for the en-
jemy. The warfare continues as
I the League of Nations strug-
igles to find a way to call the
hosts of Italy’s emperor off.
President Roosevelt has warn-
!ed Americans against travel on
I ships of the belligerent nations,
: which means only Italy—Ethio-
jpia has no vessels—and has or
dered into effect the ban against
j sales of war materials to either
1 fighting nation.

THE ANNUAL
COUNTY FAIR
Moore County’s annual Agri
cultural Fair opens in Carthage
on Tuesday. A little bit of
everything in the line of farm
exhibits is promised in the agri-
f’ultural display, and “bigger
and better” entertainment fea
tures are on the program for
that “midway” without which
no fair is complete. We have the
word of the fair officials that
all the show attractions are
“good, clean fun,” such features
as aerial stunts, a monkey, dog
and pony circus, a miniature city
presided over by none other
than Mickeyi Mouse, mountain
eer and “hillbilly” music, and
such. And there’s to be a style
i show.
Not since the days of stag
ing the fair at Pinehurst has
this annual exhibition proven of
county-wide intfjrest, but this
year the management has se
cured the services of one of the
leading exhibition companies of
the south in an attempt to re
store it to its former rank as a
worthwhile countyt attraction.
If all that is claimed for it in
advance is sincere propaganda
and not ballyhoo, the 1935
Moore County Fair should be
worth attending.

$28,204, or $4,082 more than the $24,.
112 collected for the entire year 1924,
I and through October 1 the collec.
; tions were about one.third more than
the first nine months of last year.
The increase is due in part to having

1 ermen buy State.wide rather than
} county licenses. Many are able,
through better economic conditions,
to go outside their home counties
to fish, which requires the State.wide
license. The funds are used at fish
hatcheries and result in more and
better small fish for stocking
streams.

More than a hundred stories and
articles written and everyone ac

itan about Mildred Harrington, for.
merly of Aberdeen. The magazine in
its forecast of coming events prints
a review of authors who will appear
shortly. A picture of Mildred Har.
rington w’ith Warwick Deeping,
Agatha Christie and Peter Freuchen
as companions are grouped on a page
with a paragraph or more about the
authors whose serials and features
will be offered in early issues. “What
the Doctor Ordered” is Mildred Har.
rington’s new short story.
Mildred Harrington is a Moore
county girl. She has been working
persistently at the writing game for
a number of years. Her patient la.
bors are now reaping reward and
recognition. While a ybung school
teacher in Carthage she occasionally
dropped into the Moore County News
office with contributions that cov.
ered sorre of the activities of the
village. Later she wrote articles for
the state papers and then deciii’d to
go to New York to make writing a
business. She enrolled at Columbia
University emd after completing a
period of study found herself con.
nected with the American Magazine
and later one of the associate edi.
’tors of that organization. Her stor.
ies and articles have since found
their way into a number of other
publications.
Moore county frequently produces
a home.grown product who ventures
into foreign fields and is heard from.
Mildred Harrington’s name is read
with sincere enthusiasm by local
county folks when heading columns
of fiction that stand for acknowledge,
ment of merit Mildred is a mighty
likeable girl and her friends and
neighbors take pride in her achieve,
ments.
Mr. and Mr«. Clyde Wilson of
Providence, R. I., have leased the
Lawrence Grover house on Grover
