Moore County Works For The War In Sharpe’s Carthage Weaving Plant BY KATHARINE BOYD People going by the old Tyson- Jones buggy factory in Carthage, these days, have a tendency to linger on the §idewalk outside, a pleased expression on their faces. For, out from the long row of windows on the first floor comes the sound of music. The mellow chiming voices of women, sing ing as only colored people can, are harmonizing, modulating, the leader’s high vibrant tones com ing out strong on the lead lines, while the rest break together in to the recurring chorus. The wave of sound rolls out into the" quiet village street and the passerby listens a while and then goes on his way, cheered and strangely heartened. Moore County is do ing its bit for the war. The Carthage Weaving Mill has been running two years. It is un der the management of Van B. Sharpe, a native of Wilson, who was formerly with the Departme.ot of Agriculture. Mr. Sharpe is proud of this war plant, and with reason: it is doing a big piece of work and doing it well. The brick factory hums with activity. On'^he first floor are the negro women workers, making, at the present time, ten- ni^ and volley ball nets for army recreation centers. This is hand work. The women stand or sit in long lines facing the rails which stretch down the room. The nets are hooked onto pegs along the top of the rails and the women work shuttles wound with .the thick white tape which they weave in and out and knot with incredible speed. Their hands fly, their bodies bend, in a rhythmic swing, with the swing of the work song. There are around sixty wo men in the long bright room. The light from the row of windows slants across them, lighting bronze arms, the yellow of a patterned bandana, the, chalky powdered face of a thin witch-like girl at the end of the line. Every type is there and every age; from the bent, sweet-faced grandmother to the Carmen-type, with a flow er in her hair and her dress cut low and tight, whose husky voice rings so true. They have one thing in common; the energy and en- (Continued on Page 10) Repels Customer Local Architect Remembrance....

A man of great person al magnetism, he had a deep un derstanding lof his fellow-men. Young people, particularly, turned to him, knowing they would find sympathy and constructive guid ance, and that it would be given with that respect for their point of view, and for their personal ities which is the basis of true leadership. He was outstanding in his profession; one of the great architects of our country. Recent ly, his interests had swung toward planning for the future, the de sign of modern housing projects. His original finely trained mind was intent on the problems which loom ahead in the post-war world. He was a man who used his tal ents to the limit" in the service of men and of art. A welcome visitor always to Southern Pines; Mr. Holabird was frequently seen here in the com pany of his sister, Mrs. Jane Hol abird Towne. Augur Towne, his nephew, a lieutenant of Engineers now with the armed forces in IJtaly, formerly worked in thie' Holabird office in Chicago. Malarto Widespread Altogether more people are prob* ably affected by malaria than by any other known disease. In 1931 nearly 18,000,000 people were ■ re ported to the League of Nations to "With all due respect, the Pilot reporter is forced to announce that that eminent architect and landscape gardner, Mr. A. B. Yeomans, has lately developed a streak of exclusiveness, not to say downright crankiness. Though never what might be called a go- getter, he has long been known for his- cordial, friendly disposi tion. It is therefore a blow to his friends to witness this sad change. Significant of it is the brick wall which the eminent architect has lately caused to be built around his place. It is thick, it is high, and along the top are open ings, presumably for spying on approaching visitors, or even for opening fire, should his mood be come actively . belligerent. Neighbors, aware of this new development, are keeping a re spectful distance, but new cus tomers suffer. A few evenings ago, one of these, undeterred by the wall, en tered the premises. It is thought, in fact, that he scaled the wall. This final 'insult axrolused the owner to fury. Interviewed the next day by the Pilot reporter, Mr. Yeomans still showed signs of indignation and was with dif ficulty prevailed upon to recount the incident. “Yesterday evening. Miss B.” he said, “heard a stir on the porch and called me to investigate. I knew, of course, what it was go ing to be: one of those infernal customers, poking around, ■want ing me to design a house or a garden, taking up my valuable time. I picked up my stick . . I always keep it handy . . . and stepped out. Sure enough, there was indeed a stir. The cjistomer had not only climbed my wall, but he had come up onto the porch. You wont believe that anyone would conduct himself in such an ill-bred, insulting manner, but he had actually started to fix a house up for himself. 'Without even consulting me as to plans or blue-prints or the site. . . just gone right ahead and fixed him self up right there on my porch. Imagine! He had had the nerve to take my wood basket and turn it over sideways and he had al ready gone to bed.”. Mr. Yeomans drew himself up and uttered a word which the Pilot reporter did not catch. “Grrruh!” he said, or something to that effect. “It’s unbelieveable what some people will do. Well, I wasn’t going to stand for it. I took my stick and I poked. I didn’t even tell him to come out; I wouldn’t lower my self to speak to such a fellow. I just poked.” “What happened?” the Pilot reporter asked. “What happened? Why, what da you think?” The Pilot reporter cowered and remained silent. “He came out; that’s what happened. He came out: first his long un pleasant nose, then-his long dis agreeable back and finally his long ratty skiimy tail. I have had many impleasant customers in the course of my career, but never one to equal him. I didn’t even show him the gate. I just pointed to the wall and said: ‘If you climb ed in you can ,climb out.’ And he did too. He gave me one mean look out of his mean little eyes and he climbed.” “Poor fellow,” said the Pilot reporter. She looked up brightly: ' Perhaps he thought you were Uncle Remus!” The eminent architect drew himself up. “And just why,” he said, “should he have thought I was Uncle Remus? Your remark, though, is what I should have ex pected from the Pilot reporter. Though why,” he went on in withering tones, “you should ar gue that because, he was a pos sum I must be an old colored lost his mind, is beyond me. Quite beyond me.” Mr. Yeomans tapped his stick against his new brick wall. It was an unusually large stick. “By the way,” he said, and at his tone the Pilot reporter began to look around for the gate. “You see this wall? I built it with the idea of keeping folks out- It’s a good idea too. It may not have worked for a possum but for a reporter, now . . .” As the Pilot reporter sped down the street a shout fol lowed her. It sounded like “Get- thehellout!” Distribution of Overseas Packages Rear Admiral Jules James, USN, commandant of the Sixth Naval District, announces that the Navy Mail Service and the Welfare Division, announces that the Navy Mail Service and the Welfare Division, Bureau of Navy Personnel, have established pro cedures for the distribution to other servicemen of certain unde- liverable overseas packages. Plans have been made in ac cordance with the Post Office De partment’s instructions that pack ages may be marked by the send er “Abandon If Undeliverable”, if the sender does not wish the contents returned. Packages may be classified as undeliverable for one of three reasons: (1) badly wrapped ar ticles found loose in the mail, without any attached address; (2) parcels to missing or deceased personnel which do not bear a re turn address; (3) parcels to miss ing or deceased personnel bearing written or printed instructions to abandon if undeliverable. Welfare Officers will keep aC' curate records of the distribution made of all packages. The senders of packages endorsed “Abandon if Undeliverable” will be inform ed of the disposition made of the articles they sent. If packages with obliterated addresses are found to have a return address slip enclosed in the package, the parcel will be returned to the sender. And if the contents of nonreturnable packages are found to be of personal or sentimental value, such as pictures, they will be destroyed.
