tm NEWS-JOimNAL THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1,1951 Poole’s Medley BY D. SCOTT POOLE I had the pleasure of visiting CSurthage, Tuesday,, the day Fay etteville Presbytery held its. Jan uary meeting there. It is an alto gether new and diffe*rent Carth age. I attended Pi-esbytery there in the spring of 191S, if my memory serves me, and was elected a com missioner to the Southern General Assembly of the Presbyterian church. I went to Carthage many times while I lived at Jackson Springs, in my younger days. There is not a single symptom of the old Car thage to identify the place there except the hill upon which it stands. There was not a brick house except the jail, which stood way down the hill. It is a new little city now. Now there are a large number of two, three and four story brick buildings, and on the streets a- round the business section are large and beautiful residences. The streets and sidewalks are all pav ed where there were sand banks before. -Up toward ffie northern part of the town in the olden days the earth wasjcovered with flint rock. The southern part of Moore is sandhills and the north side clay. In bygone days gold, was mined in the northern part ot Moore, but like Montgomery county, they seemed to haVe lost their gold trace. But it is there. The Presbytery of Fayetteville resembles synod these times. I at tended Presbytery in Carthage in 1898 and in 1918. The frame church in which we met is re placed by a new brick structure, beautiful and complete in every feature. The old church housed the worshipers for many years, and well do I remember, the men of God who worshiped in that bJilding. I recall several of the pastors of the old days and a number of the members. The longleaf pines which adorn ed the sandhills have to^^lly.dis appeared, nor did I see a sprig of the wire graSs which covered the sandhills out southwest. In the years of my younger days I and others of my section visited Carthage and the people of Car- thage spent time at our resort, Jackson Springs, and we learned to know one another. There are no carriage factories in Carthage now, as there used to be, but the face of the earth is covered with motor driven ve hicles of all types. The Tyson and Jones Company had been in business for many years without local competition, but ten young men, all mechanics, of skilled workers, quit the, old company, it was said, and erected a new buggy shop and manufac tured buggies and carriages. Both companies were said to have done good business; Don’t Let Rising Prices Catch You WITHOUT INSURANCE 1. Has the value of your property, increased? 2.

I^OME 4431 The population of Carthage has greatly increased, and instead of two or three stores in the town, there are scores of them, all large and built of brick. The three story brick courthouse . takes the place of the one I knew. The third story is made up of offices, and I wondered at the idea. The coun ty has a good income from the thir^ story offices, with little ex pense—about ten feet higher wall. The roof had to be put on anyway. At both Troy and Carthage there used to be two wells on the pub lic, or court house square that was as good water as the earth affords. It was nearly ice cold. I stood and looked at the street leading North and thought of those I remember of the long ago. And as in Carthage, so it is every where I go. The buildings may hide the view, but go up into the court house and see the view out to ward Pee Dee river, and toward the Cape Fear valley on the other hand. I used to sit at a window on the west side of the court house and watch a cloud come up. I could see the rain while several miles away and see the lightning pouring down like liquid fire. I saw Carthage and a number of her citizens, ■and I enjoyed it beyond words. The people of Car thage were are the «qual to the best known \Mywhere. The Americand had hope of ending the present war before 1950 ended, buy the Red Chmese have placed ^/question mark be' fore them. War has never settled a single matter of dispute. Those who are responsible for wars do not mean to settle anything permanently. Peace iS' not to their liking. Peter asked Christ how many times he should forgive others, till seven times, and Christ told him till seventy times seventy. That means an indefinite number of times. 0— Wayside News By Mrs. Ralph Plummer A bountiful picnic supper waa spread last Saturday evening in honor of Clarence Ray and Thomas McFadyen. who are leaving Feb ruary 7 for the armed services, Clarence was unable to attend, therefore his mother was present ed a Parker pen and pencil set for him. , Thomas also received one.
