JO ID HAD A GUIJ FACTORY Pistol and Rifle Made in That Village Over, a Century Ago Are Now Owned in Carthage Up at Tyson and Jones' factory is an old weapon that recalls some of the early times in Moore ounty and indi cates what might have happened here an Industrial way if a good beginning had been followed by an expanding business. The weapon is an old flint lock pistol, about a foot and a half long, which bears on the barrel the name of J.

C. Kennedy. Something like a century ago J. C. Kennedy made guns' up about the vil-lege of Hemp.

He made guns and pistols on a rather elaborate scale for that day and location, for he made so many that he was one of those gunsmiths whose product was included among those others of which it was said that North Carolina guns won th state of Texas to the United States. Kennedy'! rifles and pistols were furnished to the United States government in big quantities during the conflict with Mexico, and were held in high regard. 7 The pistol up at the buggy factory was no doubt a costly piece in its time. It was carved by hand, and evidently at much expenditure of time and effort The trimmings are full of silver, and the hand work on the medal is indicative of high skill in forging' and carving as well. The stock is almost as big as a gun stock these days, and it' is carved -with thtT-same care as the silver work.

This individuality he is working to establish1, and the basic principle is that embodied in the rural English style, which he is applying to some of his best work here. Mrs. Dull's house will be the best illustration of this style: .7 The Mid-Pines clubhouse has aa'7 English note, but is not so pronounced as the Dull residence.

It is an adaptation of the Georgian, worked out to suit surroundings and local condi-' tions, and those who have seen the drawings know that it is a handsome creation. While a few years ago American architecture; was looked upon as rather-crude France and Eng- land both now recognize American architecture as being probably the fin-est on earth. More originality has1' been shown by American designers, and with the broad field the results have been striking. In consequence of the introduction of the newer models so liberally in the Sandhills Mr Embury i8 bringing to Moore county an architecture that is designed strict ly to fit local conditions, and we will have on the foundations that he is lay- ing a more harmonious building sys tem than is to be found in any other part of the south. i 7 The Sandhills will be quick to take to the Embury basic idea of making homes and public buildings fit the roundings, and with the amount of new buijding that is in sight in Pine- hurst, Southern Pines and Knoll wood, a step of great importance was taken bury in work in territory.

In talking about the architectural needs of this section Mr. Embury said to The News, "A man your people need here more than they do me, is' Mr. YeomaftSr a man rof your own, who iB doing architectural landscape designing, and. who has tho facilities to work with, for those hilV. have, topography and native trees and shrubbery that permit almost any limit of design.

Mr. Yeomans could make such improvement in the general appearance of the home do-velopment that scarcely anything could surpass these sandy ridge. He is here at hand all the time and he ought to be kept busy with this work, for his touch would be a revelation -if widely enough extended. Credentials of this sort coming from Aymar Embury do not hurt any- body, and at this time when so much is doing the forward movement it is well for the people to know that a skillful helper is here in the. county who can work out the plans for a land- scape improvement ana artisi? ue-sign.

Aymar Embury, the architect who is building the Mid-Pines club house was in Pinehurst and Southern Pines last week to look over some of the work that he has done. He has prepared plans for a new home at Knoll -wood for lames' Barber, of the Knoll-wood company which will cost about $25,000, and be another typical Embury house.

He has made a sketch for Doctor Cady on Weymouth Heights, and also for A. I. Kreamer, of the Highland Pines Inn. But perhaps the most important new work that he has on hand ig a set of plans for a new house for James Boyd, who will remove the old Boyd home on Weymouth and have it built over into three or more smaller buildings on Connecticut' avenue, on Weymouth Heights, and replace it with one of the most elaborate houses in the Sandhills. The new Boyd house will be in a style of its own, an American country house, fitted for the place it is to adorn, a house that will 'enclose the garden that has always been a feature of the Boyd property; a house that will be in harmony with the horses and dogs rural atmosphere- that -lease3 the owner, and with the surroundings of trf3s and hills and the panorama of the summit of the ridge The new house will probably be undertaken as soon as Mrs.

Dull's house is completed, as it is likely it will be handled by Mr. McPherson, who is Mr. Embury's representative in the county at the present time in conv 'structipn work. The house Mrs. Dull is building Mr.

Embury regards as one of the best things he has ever done, and that is saying a lot, for he is one of the foremost architects of this country. At the present time he has pictures on exhibition at the Paris salon, and a student from the architectural depart- i Li i mem. 01 iiiverpooi university 10 com ing over to America to study in Embury's office with the purposes of se curing advantages he does not get at home. 777 While' the James Boyd home will be one of 3 the biggest residences Mr. Embury has done in this section, Mrs.

Dull's new house is probably the fin e3t bit of architecture. is' an adapted English type, a free model of English rural architecture, but not a copy, an adaptation that takes in con sideration the character of the trees, the sand, the open sky and the climate, and fits with that the English quiet and sober, forms and colors. Mr. Embury recognizes' that here in the sandy country is a section that has conditions peculiar to itself, and that it has no native architecture, or sectional architecture that is typical of the region. In New England and in Virginia and in other parts of the coun try a native influence is felt in the style of the buildings, but the Sand hills have developed nothing 01 any pretension that shows any individual jwef poiuwujd be.

To put such a building as Mr. Embury has drawn would cost a hundred thousand dollars, but if the hotel is built it will be worth more than that to the county as an addition architecture of this section.

Adv. Calls New Hotel Mother Ferkins The "Mother Perkins" is. tho name Aymar Embury puts on the new ho tel he has drawn for tha burned dis trict in Southern Pines.

The plans he has made are attractive to look at, and Perkins says she is going to build the hotel. Mr. Embury has made plans to cover thQ entire block that wag burned a few weeks ago, of while the Perkins' interests are largely in the majority, Wiley 3ays that he admires the plans, but thai, he does not feel very hjiefu! of finding the money necessary to build his por tion of the block. He own the cor ner where' Pelton's iaw office, stood and Harr Lewiv has $he other cor- nfer where a. grocery was located.

The Perkins lot between these two, aiid also the principal frontage on Pennsylvania avenue. 7i The plan Mr. Embury has drawn is for a three story with several stores on the lower floor, fronting both on the avenue and on Broad street, and over a hundred sleeping rooms for the hotel. The main build ing encloses an inner, court on which hotel and stores open. The plan is of modified English type, artistic as all of Embury's work is, and.

if the block could be built as he has designed it it would be one of -the most con the hands of a man whD knows how to-use it. ''-'i The barrel is about a foot long, attached to the, stock much as the old rifles were, with a place below the barrel for the ramrod which was necessary for the muzzle loader." The It re would take a bullet about the sice that the old riflle man estimated aa sixty to the pound, or something less than half an inch. It would probably do good work at considerable range. C. Kennedy, who made the pistol, -was a great-grand-father of P.

K. Kennedy, of Carthage, and of Dr. Shields. He was famous throughout the community for' his skill inthis work, and his fame made his commun ity well-known. Mr.

Kennedy at the bank says he has in his possession one of the old muzzle-loading rifles that his forebear made, and that he still recalls the tools that were used in the work. The rifle was originally a flint lock, but years ago it was verted into a cap lock gun, and was a good shooting iron until the breech loader came to put slower guns into -discard. Many' a squirrel, and deer and turkev the old timers knocked over with the Kennedy rifles long be fore shot guns were common in this vale 'of sorrows, and those old chaps could shoot a rifle. The pistol at the buggy factory has been in Mr. Tyson's possession a long time, but he has never had much oc asion to use it Ht found it at the house not long ago and took it over to the factory as a curiosity, or for rrotection or something of that kind.

Ceeurrsnea. LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG ADDRESS.

A Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in lib- erty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men anr created equal. -77 7 7 Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any other nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We are met to dedicate a portion of it as the final resting place of those who gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But in a larger sense we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground; the brave men living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far and above our power to add or detract. The world will little note or long remember what we say here but it can never forget what 'they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here, to the unfinished work that they have thus far so nobly carried on. It Is rather for us to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to the cause for which they gave their last measure cf devotion; that we. here highly resolve that tha dead fhaU not have died in vain, but that nation fhall under have a r.cw birth of frccdan, and that rovcmrr.cr.t cf t' rplo, fcy.tha foopla and th.3 reo; '1 rot 1 earth.
