A WELCOME TO SEABOARD 0FF1CL4LS For the 13th year the men- bers of te Seaboard Golf Asso ciation will convene in Southern Pines this week for their annual tournament and get-together. It is always a pleasure to welcome the railroad men here. The Sea board means much to Southern Pines and the Sandhills section, and we like to look over those responsible for its management and operation- We want them to have a good time—they deserve it. Like all railroads, the Sea board has been working under difficulties for the past several years. Its executive and operat ing forces have been under pres sure and strain. That they have done a fine job is evidenced in reports of steadily increasng revenue and earnings. So it’s time the boys relaxed, foj’got all about car loadings, air conditioning, maintenance of way, (lemurilagie, diesels and P'lorida grapefruit, and settled down to a week-end of fun and frolic in the old Sandhills.

' LO.ANS GOING FOR NEW HOMES SIXAINS €r SANr ENOI GH FOR NEED lU T NOT FOR GREED Here’s thhe prime motivation of war, in a nutshell: “There is enough in the world for everybody’s need, but there is not enoughh for everybody’s greed.” So said the Rev. Samuel W. Shoemaker in his book, “The Church Can Save the World.” If war comes, the blame must lie with the greedy. “When the teachings of Christ are given something more , than lip-service in a selfish world, we shall see peace without bloodshed,” writes David Law rence in The L^nited States News. “For we shall then sc^e conquest, not by threat but by simple justice that comes from a true understanding of God’s purpose in endowing human be ings with wealth—not as own ers, but as trustees for all man kind.” SENATOR BAILEY MAPS A PLATFORM To the question put Lo him in Washington: “Do you agree, or disagree, wuth the view of Presi dent Roosevelt that the next Democratic nominee should be a liberal prepared to carry for ward the New Deal?” United States Senator Josiah W- Bailey of North Caroli)ia said, in part: “I am not disposed to take any view tending to divide the Democratic party. It is my pur pose to pursue a policy tending to preserve the unity of the party in North Carolina under any circumstances, and so far as possible tending to pr<iserve the unity of our party national ly. To do this we must preserve its integrity. “To be directly specific as to your question, there is a great deal that has been brought for ward by Mr. Roosevelt that ought to be carried forward and improved in the light of exper ience, and there is much that ought to be abandoned. Just as we abandoned the NRA, we ought to abandon the borrow ing and spending—not in a mo” ment, but by sure and gradual process. We must improve our labor laws with a view to free ing the workers and also im posing upon their leaders and organizations a fair share of re sponsibility. We must find the way to reconcile our present cen tralization of Federal power with the historic principle of local self government. We cannot cast the entire American population into one mold without a degree of totalitarianism that woud be obnoxious to our ptople.” Bancroft Tennis rackets $3.50 to at Haves.’ Every town has certain characters in it that correspond to the cross- threads of a woven fabric. Shunted hack and foi-th by Fate, the warp is laid in one direction crossed by a woof laid transversely in the other. It would be hard to guess which is the important thread of the cloth. Breaking: one in either direction in terrupts the pattern in any case. A significant character was drop ped from the picture this week when colored John Bogan dieJ. John was for years a feature around the sta tion. In the days when mail was still taken at the station, trusty John saw ‘hat it was put on board, even though it failed to reach the bags at closing time at the post office. Thorough ly reliable, he moved the mail bags back and forth from trains to the office through many changing post masters. As a train announcer he was in a class by himself. He usher ed the “Shoefly” and the long through trains in and out with his deep booming voice that was a ]oy to hear. The haughty diesel probably prefers to come in without attention. She will as far as faithful John is concerned. Those who knew him will remem ber him as always cordial and even accommodating. The cheerful negro turned many a favor towards his su periors. A wide grin on a homely but kindly black face has gone. hiller turns homeward as he is a creature who knows many highways and sideroads. Some of the adven tures have been right strenuous with the mileage figures running up into long number.s. As he unfolds his legs and picks up his bags he vvil’ register a look of satisfaction and contentment, denoting that he has survived the rigors of a long summer vacation. From emotional, war torn European countries he will land with more than ordinary relief. Young Is abel Felton alone will be able to re gale her family and schoolmates with enough of anecdotes to keep them interested until it is time to start all over again, when the wan derlust strikes once more. A series of four robberies in and around Carthage last Friday night netted one pistol, a piece of pie and some cigarettes. The Carthage postoffice was en tered through a rear window, and while a considerable amount of plun- deiing was done, nothing was missed except a pistol. A piece of pie was stolen from a lunch box in the office of the Chand ler Lumber Company, and the Fish er Service Station about four miles out from town yielded some ciga rettes. The money drawer was rifled, but the thieves left the only coins they found, pennies. The Standard 0:1 Company’s office was entered through a window^ but nothing was mi.ssed. It is thought probable that the robbers are the same who entered the Cameron and Vass postofficcs the previous week.

For 7 years the last Thursday in No vember has been obsei-ved in Amer ica as a day of Thanksgiving and it is so well established in the public mind and in the traditions of the people that a change is not desirable unless there is some compelling reas on.

A Southern Pines hostess expect ing a visitor from one of the north western states worried about how the warm weather would effect her guest. Her uneasiness fell as the figures on the thermometer began to tumble. Then to her chagrin she had to scurry around and hunt up scraps from last year’s wood pile, balancing the temperature by the aid of a fireplace, proving to her that the Weather man is as full ap surprises as headlines from Europe. fhe usDorne garage on north west Broad street is a veritable flower garden.
