New Bus Route Is
Now In Operation
The blue and white bus of the
Trjangle Coach company, new
Southern Pines enterprise, start
ed Monday morning on its reg
ular hourly runs connecting
Southern Pines, Pineburst and
Aberdeen, for which a franchise
was recently issued by the State
Utilities Commission to the own
er-manager, J. E. Riggins-
tLeaving Southern Pines on the
half-hour, the even-hour buses
go to Pinehurst, then Aberdeen
and return. The odd-hour buses
go first to . Aberdeen, then Pine
hurst and return. The schedule
operates from 6:30 a. m. to 12:30
at :aight.
Besides being a boon to Sand
hills residents, who (may now
live in any of the three towns and
work, visit or shop in the others
without benefit of private au
tomobile. the. new route offers a
special advantage to local em
ployers of West Southern Pines
domestic help.
The runs to and from Pinehurst
take the bus along East Pennsyl
vania avenue, through the heart
of West Southern Pines, provid
ing bus service for that
community. The bus comes along
en route to Southern Pines about
8:15 a. m., and leaves the post
ofifce going back that way at
4:30, 6:30 and 8:30 p. m-, so that
work days can be easily adjusted
to it. The bus will stop anywhere
on the way on signal.
It waits for 10 minutes at the
start of each run beside the post
office, and stops at the regular
bus stops in Pinehurst and Aber
deen.

He is making his home in
Southern Pines with his sister,

The business of the Carolina
Gardens was founded 20 years ago
by Backer as a home occupation
during his spare time from his
position at the Southern Pines
Warehouses, which he has main
tained during this time. Five
years ago he brought his shop
downtown. Despite several
changes of location, it has grown
in favor and volurpe and now

has been his assistant in the shop.
Col. Edward Colby Carey, USA,
retired, died last Thursday at a
local convalescent home, after
many years of ill health and a
recent period of critical illness.
Funeral services were held Fri
day at the Sandhill Funeral
phapel, and according to his often-
expressed wish he was buried
here at Mt. Hope cemetery.
The Rev. Craighill Brown, rec
tor of Emmanuel Episcopal
church, conducted the service for
Colonel Carey, a faithful mem
ber of the church during the 14
years of his residence here.
Prevented by ill health from
pursuing the army career for
which he was trained—he was a
West Point graduate, class of 1893
—and which had taken him to
many posts both foreign and in
this country. Colonel Carey and
his wife bought the Allen home
in Weymouth Heights in 1934 and
settled down to enjoy the real
Sandhills life. In those years quite
a golfer, the colonel had a deep
devotion to the community arid
its people. He was well liked in
return, and made many lasting
friendships.
He was born April 20, 1871, the
son of A. B. Carey and Laura
Colby Carey, also an, “army”
family, living at that time at a
post in New Mexico. He served
with distinction in World War 1
and the Mexican war which pre
ceded it, and was at one time
military governor of the Canal
zone. He was retired as a lieuten
ant colonel in 1920, and in 1930

HORSE SHOW

hunt ride in their hunt livery,
and three children’s classes.
The quality of the horses and
riders to appear in the ring is to
be very high. “Southern Pines is
definitely the center of winter
training for the best of horses,”
John S. Ruggles, general chair
man of the show, commented.
We believe the finest in show
horses are right here in our own
stables. We want the folks to have
a chance to see them in action be
fore they leave for the regular
show circuit. Why wait to unlock
our barns until after the horses
are all gone?”
Tickets for the Chamber of
Commerce Show will go on sale
shortly. Boxes for six persons,
will sell at $15 apiece. General ad
mission will be $1.50 for advance
sale for both days, or $1 for one
day only.
CazdV Estate
Although the site of the show
has been moved from Vernon Val
ley Farms, beautiful estate of
Vernon G- Cardy, famed Cana
dian exhibitor, Cardy announced
that his grounds will be open to
the public during the show.
The estate, set on a beautiful
tract of land, has a modern and
colorful home enclosing a patio,
set on a knoll, overlooking a small
valley where show ring and
stables stand. Formerly known as
“The Paddock,” Vernon Valley
Farms is one of the most beauti
ful of many beautiful estates sur
rounding Southern Pines.
HARRINGTON
(Continued jtrom Page 1)
State's Witnesses
Appearing for the state were
Officer Morrison, who gave his
version of the story up to the
tiihe Harrington was jailed; John
Garby, whose evidence was large
ly corroborative; Niles Maroni,
who said he was present at the
police station when Morrison and
Garby left to make the arrest,
(and did not accompany them;
June Blue, town commissioner,
who said he had seen Harrington
drunk on the street, had reported
him and witnessed the immedi
ate departure of the officers leav
ing Maroni behind; Chief New
ton, who testified to Harrington’s
reputation and also to his con
dition in jail; Officer Bradford
and State Highway Patrolman
Ingle, who corroborated Chief
Newton’s testimony.
Listed as state’s witnesses but
not called were Ed Starnes,
George Thompson, M. Y. Poe,
John Howarth, D. E. Bailey, J.
T. Overton, A. A. Howlett and L.
L. Woolley.
■ Appearing for Harrington were
T. R. Goins, Joe Waddell, Charlie
Henderson, Rev. J. R. Funder
burk, Rev. L. R. Bennett and
another West Southern Pines min
ister, pastor of the Free Will
Baptist church, Dr. Ross and Mrs.
Valerie Nicholson, reporter on the
Southern Pines Pilot.
Local Interest
The entire assemblage, which
included a number of others
drawn by local interest in the
case, made the courtroom, look
like a Southern Pines public
meeting.
In rendering his verdict in the
first case. Judge Rowe gave high
praise to Southern Pines police
officers, especially Chief C. E.
Newton, saying that the county
had no finer men engaged in law
enforcement.
Following the verdict, in which
Harrington received a three
months’ road sentence, H. F. Sea-
well, Jr., spoke vigorously in der
fense of the plaintiff aSnd his
rights, declaring the assault to
have been far too great in view
of the offense.
In the case against the officers,
W. B. Sabiston, Jr., their attorney,
quoted liberally from the laws
in which officers are granted wide
discretion in the use of force in
making an arrest against resis
tance. “When, an officer goes to
make an arrest he goes with gun,
blackjack and badge, not a hymn-
book,” he declared. “He is there
to enforce the law, not to hold
prayer meeting, and in doing his
duty he is permitted even to take
life, not only in the case of a
felony but the smallest demeanor,
if there is resistance.”
McKeithen, speaking informal
ly at the close of the day’s ses
sion, said he saw no sign of race
prejudice in the conduct of the
case and felt that the verdicts
would have been the same in the
case of a white man in similar
circumstances. Race problems and
prejudices are evidenced in Moore
county in as small a, measure as
