M THE FAMOUS RESORT IN THE HEART OF THE LONG-LEAF PINE REGION. ANY years ago, a pen tipped with light wrote a new and deeper meaning into the word patriotism than it had ever had before. The Man Without a Country" went into many tongues, bearing its messages. The pen that wrote the story has lately written of a matter which bears a close relationship to the life of the individual instead of the life of the nation. It is in this clear-cut Saxon fashion that Edward Everett Hale writes of his experiences at a North Carolina health resort: Ever since I returned home, I have been saying to tired people and worried people who have notes to meet : 'Why don't you go to Pinehurst? At Pinehurst,' I have said, there is no care. At Pinehurst you do as you choose. At Pinehurst you simply breathe sweet air and drink pure water, and walk under the blue sky and meet pleasant people, and you do not know that there is any worry in the world."" This expresses with rare aptness the sentiment toward Pinehurst which is held by rapidly growing numbers of refined people in all parts of the country. The causes for it may be worth discovering. In the first place, Pinehurst stands for something very wholesome and fine for an ideal that is full of the life of outdoors. The village is the physical embodi ment of a business man's dream. Some years ago, Mr. James W. Tufts, of Boston, conceived the plan of a resort in the South where people from the North could go in the winter (not merely for a day or a week, but for a season) and find the sort of rest that builds up and makes new again. The plan found a place in the long-leaf SOME OF THE SURROUNDINGS AT PINEHURST. pine region of North Carolina, on the Piedmont plateau, midway between the wet coast and the cold mountains. Nature having done so much for the region in equable climate, dry and pine-laden air, pleasing landscape, and winter blossoms, it only remained for man to make the spot habitable, to furnish the necessary appurtenances and comforts for a desirable home. The sanitary advantages of the long-leaf pine district had long been conceded. With the establishment and development of Pinehurst, they were made available for people needing just that sort of resort. Here Mr. Tufts bought 6,000 acres of pine land, and began zealously to put his plan into visible form, so men could see and pass judgment on it. That was six years ago. To-day, the beautiful and stately Carolina, the largest hotel in the State; the comfortable Holly Inn, the Berkshire, and many other places of sojourn, grad THE HOLLY INN, ONE OF THE THREE MODERN HOTELS AT PINEHURST, N. C., ALL OF THEM WELL KEPT AND POPULAR. The Casino Café is under the management of a competent New Englander. Here table board is provided at very reasonable rates. A bakery connected with the café furnishes families with sup plies. The cottages of the town are rented entire or in suites of rooms for light housekeeping. The village is supplied with running water from Pinehurst Spring, which has proved an attraction to people suffering from rheumatism, weak digestion, and kidney trouble. Large quantities of this water are shipped North. Sports are a particular feature at Pinehurst. The 18-hole golf course, covering nearly 150 acres, is by general recognition the finest in the South. Harry Vardon, the champion golfer of the world, after playing over it a number of times last spring, said: "It is a course it will be a great pleasure to any golfer to play over, and, in my judgment, one which will compare favorably with any of the Eastern courses. game has grown to a great popularity at Pinehurst. At any time of the day a sight of the links would give a Scotchman's heart a good, loyal thump. Many tournaments are held during a season, and attractive prizes offered. "The The course is divided into 6, 9, or 18 holes, so that all grades of strength and skill can have a test. Donald Ross, a professional player of world-wide reputation, has charge of the links this season. At the beginning of the course is a comfortable club-house, with large reception-room, retiring. rooms, lockers, and everything necessary for the pleasure of the golfers. The links are about ten minutes' walk from the hotels. A special car on the trolley-road makes frequent trips, connecting all the hotels directly with the club-house on the links. But golf, although easily in the lead in popu lar favor, is by no means the only sport enjoyed. Bicycle-riding, tennis, croquet, quail-shooting, riding to hounds, riding, driving, and walking over the excellent roads are other excellent recreations much indulged in. About the Casino are croquet and tennis courts, and a fine bowlingalley, and in the Casino, a restaurant, a musicroom, and a reading-room where the leading daily papers and magazines are on file. There is a large hall in the village where many entertainments are provided during the winter, and where Sunday-school and church services are held every Sabbath. Pinehurst is divided in the line of travel between the East and the South, on a short branch of the Southern Railway, which leaves the main road at High Point, N. C. It is about three hundred miles south of Washington, and is easily and directly reached from any direction by the througn trains of the Southern Railway. An electric troiley-line, six miles long, through an attractive country, runs to Pinehurst from Southern Pines, a station on the Seaboard Air Line. Pinehurst, though a natural sanitarium, has no hospital features. It is not intended, in any respect, as a retreat for hopeless invalids. To avoid all danger of contagion, no consumptives are received. It is designed for persons who desire to escape the severity of the Northern winter; for golfers, and lovers of out-of-doors generally; and for people of imperfect health in whom disease has not progressed beyond expectation of recovery. To all of these Pinehurst offers a pleasant, health-giving atmosphere, the comforts of good living, plenty of amusement, and the genial, sunny Southern climate.
