This pioneer women’s club here has always been active in the interest of our winter guests, but it has never done a better job than this year. Its prog rams were well conceived, var ied in their appeal and interest, and delightfully presented. The Civic Club serves a use ful purpose in Southern Pines. The clubhouse is one of our few community gathering places; it is open to all, resident or visitor, and all receive a cor dial welcome. This past season more thought and effort have been put into the entertainment of visitors than previously, and this has been appreciated not alone by those who have enjoy ed the club’s hospitality, but by all who realize the importance of providing opportunities for stranger to meet stfanger in a resort community. ’Tis thus that friendships form, and friendships bring people back year after year more than any other one thing, A LOT CAN HAPPEN IN' 72 YEARS “As dead as last week’s edi torial” is a simile meant to ex press a thing as really out of existence, but a resurrection of a New York Tribune of 1865 of fers a 72-year old editorial again for perusal. The writer predicted only hopeless tribula tion for the South of the future. “As to our system of labor, upon which the future prosper ity of the South is absolutely dependent, I can see no hope whatever of its speedy organi zation upon any basis likely to result in even tolerable success. Now that the negro is free, his labor cannot be relied upon with sufficient certainty to secure the successful cultivation of rice, cotton or tobacco. These great staples of the South must dwindle into insignificance, the wheat crop must fall short of former years; the ability of the South to buy from the North must be reduced in a corres ponding degree. In the mean time silver and gold driven out of the market by an inferior currency, must be sent abroad to pay for our imports.” And so on through a long doleful story the editor wailed over our future. Steeped in gloom, he concluded his final paragraph, “God only knows what the South has to hope for. It will not be many years be fore the most violent Abolition 1st will be the open and avowed advocate of the most stringent measures to compel slaves to continuous labor, and you will find that they will be the advo cates of harsher measures than the Southern people themselves. In the terrible convulsions through which we have yet to pass, the doom of the negro race in this country will be sealed. They must be extermi nated not by the South nor in accordance of the wish of the Southern people but by the fanatics of the North first driv ing them to folly and madness by their teachings: when these things have borne their legiti mate fruits of idleness and crime on every name then turn ing their bayonets on the*fi and butchering them without mer cy.” The editorial of 1865 didn’t have much bet disaster schedul ed for the South. Prosperity was not in the forecast nor the harmonious conditions that year for the support of a team and are again appealed to for contributions toward the support of a Junior American Legion baseball team. Contributions should be mail ed to L. V. O’Callaghan, Treas urer. Grains of Sand tor of the Carthage Presbyterian Church will deliver the address. A good friend of the Sandhills for a good many years left this week. t'ii,"adier General Manus M.-Closkey reached the age of retirement from the army during April and was mus tered out, if a general is mustered out, on Saturday.
