At the, present time about eight to ' ten cars a day are sent out, which means that much work has been re . quired on the railroad.

This ac tion was reported by the H-ome ;Mia iion Committee to the Presbytery, and I had taken no action In the, nujtter.'., f In March, I tendered my resignation 'to the Elise church, but as the Elisa . congregation voted , unanimously to teg me to reconsider my resignation, 1 was considering the matter when the Presbytery met,' and knew nothing of ' the action of the Bluff group, ad ' nothing 1iad been done to alter my relation to Bensalem, of which chttrcn T am nastor.

Clerks of .the Court come up for election this fall for the first time lllnpa Mnrfli l?nrnlifiB in 1Q1Q nBa...4 a state wide juvenile court law, estab lishing a juvenile court in every coun ty in the state with the clerk of ; the court as judge. Under the supervision of the judge of the. juvenile court and the superintendent of public welfare come dependent, neglected, delinquent children up to sixteen years of age whose needs should be given the most careful and intelligent consideration if the welfare of the child, is to be con served. , J . ' " During the past eleven months when a more or less . adequate system of record keeping has been established for, juvenile courts and superinten dents of public welfare by the State Board of' Charities and Public WeU faref fifty-five counties report having handled 4,648-children. Of them 2,625 have an actual court record, 2,01$$ being cases that were settled out of court. Those cases which came be fore the court were disposed of as follows: . 482 were dismissed, 1,241 re turned home on probation, 450, placed in temporary homes, 355 sent to in stitutions, 38 adopted, 59 disposed of otherwise. The fifty-five counties making this report. do not include some of the largest counties having whole time superintendents of public wel fare. So it is a conservative estimate to say that at least a.OOQ children) have been handled by all the juvenle courts in this state in the past, year,. .""A number of the clerks of the court I are doing excellent work as judges of the juvenile court. "Intersting stories could be told of the unselfish service they have given; for instance, of a judge who made two trips .twenty miles or more over mountains in one of the western counties to investigate a case and render what aid he could to a woman and four dependent children into, whose lives a tragedy had come; of another who carried .home a half naked .baby wrapped In a borrowed sweater which had been unexpectedly thrust in. his arms, and .which the judge and his wife kept in their home for' several days until a good foster home was found. Several clerks of the court have gone to other states io study work of newly established ju venile courts in order to do their own work, better. ' Approval of such ser vice as this should be expressed by the voter in the June primaries and can didates for the office of Clerk of Court be considered not only on their qual ifications to do the clerical work of the county, but on their personality, char acter and ability to handle childiren., FROST DANGER PASSED ' ' The 'peach and dewberry crops are at last past the danger of frost, and the signs are all for the record crop of peaches, and a good crop of dewber riesv , Last week some slight frosts were felt in the low erounds and somS harm was done to gardens and early stuff, but nothing of ' consequpence Tobacco DlantinarAas been held back a little by 'the cold, but it has Jots of time yet to come on.

'"-- NEW BOOK ,111 lyjtm " Katharine Newliri Burt Which is Just One 4f the clever bits of fiction that will have a wide circulation this sum mer is a novel by a Southern Pines writer, Katherine Newlin Burt, whose story, Q," is just issued by Houghton, Mifflin Company. Mrs. Burt has a fa miliarity with the West 'and with the East,' and she succeeds in bringing a rather lively Western man to the East to mingle with acquaintances he has made while the Easterners Were trav eling in 'the wild and woolly belt. The writer has her characters right well in hand ,and she makes an interesting volume. N " . , She creates a right faithful refl"' tion of the western character, appre ciating the influence of the free exist ence of that section of the country in forming the habits and sharpening the observation and analytical powers of the people out there,' and she has no small knack of measuring the folks of the more sedate and established East. In consequence she carries sufficient naturalness ' and philosophy through the story to make it worth while,' and she gets her effects without very much of the extravagant distortion of mor ality that marks too much of modern fiction. ' , -: Mrs. Burt's book is one of the best that have come out this year. It will meet the approval of those who care for a bit Of romance with a pretty fair type of rough diamond in it, a pretty fair type of a girl, and enough regard REV. J. A. CALIGAN TO HOLD MEETING AT PINEHURST The Pinehurst Presbyterian Church recently extended an invitation to Rev. J. A. Caligan, of McColl.'a C. to hoi J a meeting at Pinehurst during the mcnth of June.

Caligan will come to Pinehurst on Saturday, June 10th, ' and start his roeelbg on the Sunday f ollowing, con tinumg through Sunday, June 17th. The many friends of Rev. Caligan In Moore and adjacent counties will hail this news with delight, and the Pinehurst church is making prepara "We have arranged for a high clajs railroad man to handle our transpor tation and irate problems in our office. We -have hired the best inspector in Georgia to take charge of our inspec tion service. We are preparing to spend $5,000 in advertising our brand, to bring in the buyers. This includes personal letters to every bouse that has ever bought our fruit, a circular to .every buyer in Georgia when the fruit moves, as weH a3 those on the list being obtained by Mr. Zorn. : We already have the personal as surance of the largest buyers in tho country that they will be here and be gi id to buy. There is no question whatever tha we can control the widest, possible market. That we canget the Inst penny for the fruit', provided wo hold it all together and do not com pete with each other, and know just where every car is going. We can set our price in reason, if it is all in cui hands. This . plan has the unanimous ap proval of the directors. Every single director and 'grower approached to date has signed the con tract placing his fruit in the hands of the association to sell without reser vation, i We ask you t doo the same. This is the only possible way to sell peaches. We are yur servants. The salesman is your own salesman. The agents are your agents: The committee will, of course, con sult the growers all the time, and do its utmost to satisfy everybody. We ask that you place your crop with all the rest so we can control the market and the distribution absolutely. Fred C. Page, Secretary. BY SO.

The book is on sale at Hayes store in Southern Pines, where a window is full of a pile of the issue. "V Mrs. Burt lives in the Tiers house in Southern Pines, a short distance from the Highland Pines Inn. Across the street lives Hugh Kahler, who last year brought out the cook, "Babel." Mrs. Burt's husband is also a writer, and down the street three or four hun dred feet Donald Herring, another writer is completing one of the fine new homes of the last winter's crop of buildings.. The Burts are not so long in Southern Pines as the others, but Mrs. Burt puts out her new book while a Moore county resident, and that makes It a Moore county book and her a Moore county author. The price indicated on the book is two dol lars. , Apparently that sum sent to Hayes will bring a copy. . In addition to the merits of the book that are Its merits of Its own worth 1t has to rec ommend It to Moore county people and Moore county visitors that other vir tue that it is a local product. That, as Abraham Lincoln said of the rat hole in the corner of his office, is al ways worth looking into. . tions to care for the large crowds that will gather to hear him.

Fitzgerald has bought the Magnolia afr Pinehurst within the last few days. ' '' " A corporation has been formed to build a -large new garage with modern equipment on Dundee road neajr the greenhouses. A significant move has been noted in the Taylorville section. Last week a contract was let for the new school house for colored children Mr. Kline getting the job. Pinehurst, Inc.j pre sented the school six acres of land for a site. Within the" week an auction sale of lots was held in the vicinity of the school house-and about eighty lots were sold. - Aymar Embury was in Pinehurst recently and the plans for the new commercial center were discussed rather extensively. Mr. Embury i3 working out the design for the com plete project, and he "has a general plan that promises to be one of the interesting features of Pinehurst com munity architecture. BOUGHT A BLOCK OF LOTS Sam Richardson last week sold a block of seven lots in Southern Pines to Harriet and Mary J. Condit. The location is near the Baptist church, the lots beoing deeded by S. B. Rich ardson and A. S. Newcomb. The buy ers already hold property in that sec tion. TO HARD SURFACE THE " ROAD FROM-SXNFORD The State Highway Department an nounces the contract for between five and six miles of hard surface road on the State highway leading out from Sanford, toward Carthage. That will bring the road pretty well out toward the Moore county line and will give the new road a decided importance in this ection of the state. It will turn a lot of traffic from Sanford through Car thage both for the west and the south, and make the state road a busy thor oughfare. Work will be carried on during the summer. COUNTY MAPS RECEIVED The News has received the soil maps of Moore county, sent by Congressman W. C. Hammer, for free distribution. This map is probably, the most ser viceable one of the county new extant. It shows the towns, railroads, streams, roads and houses. But it was intend ed mainly for a soil map, which it is. I These maps can be had without cost by calling at the News ojffice. There ia also at this office about a bushel of garden seeds, in packages, sent by the government, which can be had for the asking. Gov. Morrison has strongly urged that everybody in the State have a garden this summer, and the News is only too glad to help by distributing these seeds. COUNTY AGENT ON FURLOUGH I wish to express my deep apprecia tion to my friends for the many kind nesses shown me during my recent illness, and it is With deepest regret that I am forced to take a leave of absence for several weeks on account of my health. .

Sandhills, and when they found the chance, to get the Jract of land the company has bought it was decid ed to organize the peach corporation and start, to plant an orchard on , an elaborate scale. Hands will be put to work at once and it is the intention to have 100 acres ready for planting next winter. ' and to continue the clearing so that next summer as much more land will be ready for the next season's plant ing, and in that way to bring in the entire 175 acres as fast as possible. The location is one of the best in the ', county, being on the ridge that dividps Mill Creek from McDeeds creek, and it is close to the railroad and to the Capital highway and the road from Southern Pines to Carthage. It is one of the first big projects to be located northeast . of the Knollwood property, " and: in this respect it is' a pioneer op-"' eration. ' ' . From Pinehurst to Lakeview that big ridge sweeps through a region of sev-. eral miles, Mill creek cutting one valley into the summit, but leaving ridge land , on both sides, and offering one of the best extended peach areas in the Sandhills. The News has been calling attention to this area, and the peach men have realized that it was hut a mat.tpr nt href timo until t.hn " development would begin to string ouc along that ridge. Now the tide turns that way, and with men interested who will be valuable as coming from the outside.
