THE FIGHT ON

More than $1,300 raised by
popular subscription in Moore
countj' toward the cause of wip
ing out tuberculosis is a credit
to the community. Congratula
tions are due Mrs. T. A. Cheat
ham of Pinehurst, who as chair
man of the County Tuberculosis
Committee organizes the annual
Christmas Seal Sale, and appre
ciation is due the workers in all
the townships for their splendid
cooperation. It is notworthy that
ten percent of the amount sub
scribed was raised by colored
committees from colored resi
dents, a meritorious effort.
As gratifying as is the report
of Mrs. Cheatham on the Seal
Sale, more so is her news that
great headway is being made
here in the elimination of tuber
culosis. So few are the charity
cases in the county now that
most of the funds available this
year can be utilized for preventa
tive work, for cleaning up un
healthful homes where there
may-, be the least suspicion of
the disease, for examinations,
for educational work.
Nor should we pass without
adding a word as to the value
of our State Sanatorium. Mrs.
Cheatham reports that of cases
sent there from the county last
year, seventy-five percent were
returned home cured. This at
tests to the splendid work the
institution is doing under Dr.
McCain, and of the inroads made
by the profession on combatting
a disease which but a few years
ago was looked upon as incura
ble.

WHAT THE
LIBRARY?
It is always interesting to
know what others think of us.
The people of the town are ac
quainted already with local opin
ion in regard to the Southern
Pines Library. But how does the
library impress strangers here?
How does it compare with the
libraries of other towns? Are
our winter visitors pleased with
it—or not? Several statements
recently received have tended to
answer these questions. And it
has seemed worth while to
gather them together into an in
formal .symposium.
In general, approval has most
often been expressed for the va
riety and chai'acter of the books
w’hich the library makes avail
able, and for the somewhat un
usual fields which its subjects
cover; these characteristics
mark it as “different” from oth
er libraries of its size, and make
it useful, as well as a pleasure,
to move varied group of people.
“The two things which bring
me to Souhern Pines,” one man
writes, “are my hotel and the li-
brar;'. The selection of books is
different from any other library
with which I am acquainted. I
am personally most interested in
history and biography, and it is
unusually well equipped in these
respects.”
And to this another adds: “I
wish to express my appreciation
of your library and the large se
lection of books. We who make
short visits to your town par
ticularly appreciate such an in
stitution.”
And still another: “W’^hat I
like about your library is its va
riety. I never fail to find there
books which interest me.”
Among the people who come
here for a short stay each year
is the economic adviser in one
of the great banks of New York
City-. He comes for the climate,
to shake off the effects of the
northern winter, and to do such
work as rftay be done away from
his office. For this work he uses
the library. And he expresses
himself as being gratified to find
there the material which is nec
essary for his use.
The following statement
stands as representative of sev
eral similar in purpose: “The
