ON JOHN BLUES RAILROAD.
He Has Developed a Rich and Fine
Section in North Carolina.

(II. Butler in Southern Pines Tourist)
Down at Aberdeen, a little town
three or four miles below Southern
Pines. lives John Blue. He is fixed to
this region by a long line of ancestry,
perhaps dating back to the days
when the Scotch settlers came to the
Cape Fear Valley in 1749. after the
downfall of the hopes of many of
them at the defeat of Culloden. John
Blue built q little railroad out into
the pine woods. He hauled lumber
into the town and turned it over to
the Seaboard Air Line to go north.
The project thrived, and he pushed it
to Fayetteville. 1t opened a virgin
country, and, guess it is making John
Blue comfortable. But it is doing
more than that. About half way down
the .!ne a lot of these Tar Heel natives
set up q little town. Some more of
them planted cotton fields. They
cleared M the land in a way that
would make you think you had
dropped down into a corner of Kan
sas or Oregon, except that the climate
and water here beat Kansas and
Oregon to a finish right at the start
Farm after farm has developed and
is developing down on Blues road, and
it is nearly all as new as a pink baby
The man who has q few bales of cot
ton, to sell in the fall for forty dollars
a bale has some business to do in
town. So Raeford has sprung up to
give him a chance. Now if there is
anything on earth like Raeford, L
have it yet to see. The town has one
street running across the railroad
Midway of the street is the public we'll
an institution in the south. Raeford
is fresh and modern. The homes are
pretty cottages with plenty of porch
room and paint.
Raeford is different from the or
binary now town of the north Up
there the first thing the plan of lots
is treated to is the destruction of the
trees. In Raeford the man who had
a house to build picked his lot. or
got it in some way, and he then cut
out enough trees to permit the build
ing room to stand. He left the noble
pine and oak trees. and the result is
out of the ordinary. You ramble
about through the primeval forest
passing from a clump of trees with it's
house and garden to another clump
with another house and garden and
the boundary line of the town is
merely where the last house is en-
countered. The streets appear to run
about where anybody wants them to
run, where the picturesque eff
fects are most striking. Raeford, the
way the COW walks over the hills here
is about a dozen miles or so from
Southern Pines. and as an attractive
spot it would make the Yankee town
hustle if Raeford wanted to go into
business of catering to the northern
visitor. But Just now the new town
is too busy, getting itself built and
marketing the cotton raised and look
ing after the wants of the planter
to bother with folks who do nothing
but stand around and ask questions
and pay board bills and play whist.

Leonard D. Tufts, one of the oldest
employees of the p, B. & w. Railroad
Company, died at his home, No. 71O
Monroe street, Wilmington Monday
evening, after a sickness of five weeks.
He went to Wilmington on September
/, 1854, and was retired on a pension
on September 30, 1908. He was 70
years of age. Leonard D. Tufts came
to Delaware Fitchbury, Mass, 81
years ago and became an engiuesr on
the P, B. & W. railroad. For twenty.
nine years Mr.. Tufts was an engineer
on the Maryland division and was then
made road forman of engines of the
Delaware railroad. He held that pos
ition for twenty years. He had been
an engineer on the Fitchbury railroad
for two years before he came to this
section, so that he had been an en-
gineer for over half a century. That
he knew his business can be seen from
little figuring. He had been an en-
gineer for 81 years, and he was run
ming trains as an engineer when he
was between eighteen and nineteen
years of age. No man enjoyed the
good will of railroad men, both en-
ployes and officials, more than did Mr..
Tufts. Although he had been for
twenty years an official of the operst-
Ing part of the railroad he continued
his membership in the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers and attended
the meetings. He never forgot that
he was an engineer. To the men on
the road he was kind and considerate
always, while firm in the determine
ton that every man under him should
do his whole duty to the railroad com
pany. The men who assisted him in
