When he laid down his transit, chains and tapes for the last time an artist put away his implements. Robert Stevenson once said, “The best artist is not the one who fixed his eye on posterity, but one who loves the practice of his art.” Francis Deaton was that kind of a man. For over forty years he had been practicing his art, and during those years he was laying away in his head an amazing lot of material. He was a mathemeti- cian, a student of natural philos- oph}", a conservative trained in accurate and systematic obser vation. A pile of maps lie on the ta ble. The name of Francis Deaton is on many of them. He worked with the utmost precision and exactness. When a job was fin ished there was never a shadow of a doubt in a man’s mind as to whether there might be even the slightest discrepancy. His work DO YOU KNOW YOUR STATE? he was BITTEH by a P06.

But it is fair to give it a share of credit for the great in crease over other years.

He was familiar with hundreds of miles of boundary lines, and no doubt knew more old pine stumps and blazed trees that were propertyi corners than any other man in the state. He not only knew the countryside over which he followed his chains, but he knew the people and many of their ancestors before them. He knew what was in the large block of Ray lands, where the line cut through the big tim ber; >the nineteen and a 'half acres of the old McCraney sis ters and that it came down to them through old ‘Lish Neal, who addressed him as follows; “Will you help pass a bill em bodying the Townsend Plan? Any equivocation or evasion will be "taken as a negative answer.” The Congressman replied: “So that I may not be accused of evasion or equivocation, let me say frankly that I do not favor the Town send Plan. I did not vote for the Mc- Groarty bill, and I do not intend to vote for a bill embodying the Town send Plan. “If I believed it to be a practical plan, I would favor it heartily, but since I am convinced that it w'ould NEW CHEVROLET FOR 1936 their grandfatiier.

Let’s see how this has worked out. Last winter there was little activity around the Pinehurst race track. A few stables of trot ters, training for the Grand Cir cuit meetings, were there, but there were no hunt race horses, few runners headed for the big tracks, only a few polo ponies. Stabled about the track this win ter are 75 horses of various types, horses conditioning for leading race meetings of all kinds throughout the country this Spring and Summer. The track is one of the busiest places in the Sandhills these days. And in addition, away from the track, there are 67 other horses in public and private stables in Pinehurst. Southern Pines has more horses, mostly of the hunter and hunt racing type, than ever in its historj", no less than 110 in public and private stables. Not a few of these are in training for steeplechase and hunt racing events. Pinehurst and Southern Pines together have more than 250 horses wintering here. Of course the new steeple chase layout on the Midland Road is not responsible for the presence here of so many “If the Townsend Plan or anything approximating it, were feasible it would have universal support because the objective is appealing to all of us.
