Dumping Chickens
Dead Birds Found
On Highway; School
Reports Accepted
In a brief report made to Judge
Frank M. Armstrong at last
week’s term of Moore Cotin-
ty Superior Court, the grand jury
asked for an investigation of the
reported practice of dumping dead
chickens in an area along High
way 27 west of Carthage.
The complete report follows:
NORTH CAROLINA,
MOORE COUNTY.
To: Honorable Frank M. Arm-*
strong. Judge Presiding:
We, the Grand Jury selected at
January, 1954, term of Superior
Couft, respectfully submit the fol
lowing report:
After examination of witnesses
and due consideration of their ex
amination, we found: 21 true
bills, one not a true bill. Of true
bills fourid, three for murder were
presented in open coimt.
Mr. Thomas, Superintendent Of
County School' system, was re
quested to give a report regarding
recommendations made in the
January, 1954 report. He reports
that all recommendations are
either completed or in the process
of being accomplished. Mr.
Thomas also reported that the
rating bureau had increased the
building valuation from $3,057,-
000.00 to $3,079,600.00, which fig
ure will be used for insurance val
uation for the coming year. This
inspection was as of March 25,
1954.
The County Commissioners in
a letter of May 5, 1954, to the fore
man of the Grand Jury gave an
answer to recommendations rec
ommended in the January, 1954,
report. The Grand Jury accepted
their answers as satisfactory, and
attached the letter to be filed with
the original of this report.
It has been called to the atten
tion of the Grand Jury that in the
area along Highway 27, about 9
miles west of Carthage to the in
tersection of Highway 27 and 705
and various county roads in this
area near Calvary Church, dead
chiqkens have been or are being
dumped and without proper
means of their disposal. This cre
ates a hazard to the health of the
County and it is recommended
that the County authorities take
proper steps to investigate and
correct and to have prosecution
brought against such persons that
are committing these acts.
Respectfully submitted

Dr. David W. Whitehead, op
tometrist who has practiced his
profession in Southern Pines for
the past five years, has purchased
an office building and practice in
Selma and opened his office there
last week. His family plans to join
him very soon.
Both Dr. and Mrs. Whitehead
have been active in the life of the
town during their residence here.
He is past exalted ruler of the
Elks, immediate past president of
the Lions Club, was active in
promoting Little League baseball
and Explorer Scout work, and
sang in the choir of the Church of
Wide Fellowship, in which both
he and Mrs. Whitehead hold mem
bership.
Mrs. Whitehead is a member of
Drove 42, BPO Does, and of the
Ruth Biirr Sanborn Group of the
Women’s Society of the Church of
Wide Fellowship.
The Whiteheads have two chil
dren, Donald, five years of age,
and James, six months old.
“My family ind I do not expect
to find any locale which will com
pare with Southern Pines as re
gards pleasant surroundings, and
we will miss our friends very
much. However, economically, we
expect to be in a much better
position,” commented Dr. White-
head.
He expressed the hope that
those whom he served while here
will understand the reasons for
this move, and gave Box 355, Sel
ma, as his address in case anyone
needs information concerning cor
rections.
Funeral services were held at
the Village Chapel in Pinehurst
Saturday afternoon of last week
for Nathaniel Sigurney Hurd,
prominent resident of Pinehurst
for over 50 years, who died at his
home Thursday afternoon follow
ing a stroke the previous day. His
age was reported as 76.
The Rev. T. A. Cheatham, D. D.,
pastor emeritus of the Village
Chapel, who said he had known
Mr. Hurd for 45 years, officiated
at the services. Burial was in the
family plot at Mount Hope Cem
etery, Southern Pines. There are
no immediate survivors.
Called “Nat” or “Uncle Nat” by
a wide circle of friends, Mr. Hurd
was one of the most beloved per
sons in Pinehurst. He and his
wife, the former Caroline Fuller,
who died in 1946, lived for many
years in the house on the Village
Green in Pinehurst now owned
by Mr. and Mrs. John ,E. Dixon.
The Hurds also lived at “Amper
sand,” an estate off the Pinehurst-
Aberdeen highway, now the prop
erty of Mr. and Mrs. WiUiam C.
Plunkett.
His father, the late W. L. Hurd,
who came to Pinehurst from Pitts
burgh, Pa., founded the Bank of
Pinehurst,'now the Carolina Bank
with branches in three other
Moore County communities. W. L.
Hurd also was instrumental in
building the Village Chapel, one
of the finest church structures in
this area.
The sole remaining charter
member in this area of the still
flourishing Tin Whistles Club, a
men’s golfing organization, Mr.
Hurd when younger was interest
ed in racing, owning severfal race
horses, and was a supporter of the
sport at Pinehurst.
A brother, Jack S. Hurd, and his
wife, who lived at Pinehurst, were
killed in an automobile accident
in 1930 while on their way to
Wrightsville Beach.
In recent years, Mr. Hurd had
occupied Pinegrove Cottage near
the post office in Pinehurst. This
house was built by his father and
was the home of his sister, the
late Mrs. J. G. Splane, before her
death.
Mrs. Lambert Splane, widow of
Mr. Hurd’s nephew, of Birming
ham, Ala., attended the funeral
as did William Miller of New Yprli
City, nephew of the late Mrs
erstown, N. Y., a friend of long
standing.

To Open Season
Against Robbins
' First game for the Southern
Pines Little League Lions will be
played Monday, May 31, at Mem
orial Field, starting at 5 p. m.
Coach Russ Simons, who is
coaching both Little League and
P-O-N-Y League ball so far this
season, said this week that a first
team for the younger players had
not yet been chosen, but that
there are a number of boys in the
12-year-old group who are strong
candidates and who will probably
lead the Lions.
Starting pitcher and catcher for
Monday’s game probably will be
Jimmy Caldwell and Bobby Wat
kins, Simons said.
Others on the squad to whom
he looks for strength include Rob
ert Woodruff, Ted Ward, George
Little, Larry McDonald, Melva
Ray Hall and Tony Simons.
Robbins is a strong team, ac
cording to all reports, and will be
trying to avenge defeats at the
hands of Southern Pines last sea-
