Vass and The Roads It is a bold man who cares to pre dict the future of Vass, but last week a man who knows Moore county well was outlining a scheme of roads, and as it is evident that these roads are destined to open in the near future it is no harm to intimate what he predicted. To begin with he alluded to the new road that is now building from Sanford to Carthage, and which will soon be finished. That road comes out from Sanford toward the White Hill church near the edge of Moore county, and continues on to Carthage. Just this side of the church a road leads into Cameron, touching the edge of the town near H. P. Mcl^herson’s house. There it joins the road that comes from Ral eigh by way of Sanford and Jones boro, but it gets into Cameron from Sanford without crossing the several railroads in Sanford and Jonesboro and with crossing those others that are between the t\<ro towns, or the railroad at Lemon Springs. At Vass it could turn across the bridge by the Hotel Vass and by the construction of a mile or so of road to Lakeview and pass on to Southern Pines, and all the way it would have no rail road grade crossing except the one near Cameron on the Randolph and Cumberland road. The man suggest ing this predicted that if the people of Vass would make an effort to have the road cross the railroad at the bridge and go down the east side of the railroad it would not be long un til a road will be opened that will run along the ridge from Lakeview to Pinehurst and bring into market one of the finest peach prospects in Moore county. That is the highland that is encountered throughout the whole distance from Lakeview alonge the ridge to the orchards west of Pine hurst. Or by crossing Mill Creek just above* its junction with McDeed’s Creek the ridge on the east side of Mill Creek is another long stretch of peach land, and there all the way to the Midlands farms and into Pine hurst, including the highland of the Knollwood property is an equally promising peach territory, and one that is destined to soon come into development, and which a road would ' help materially in opening. Already Will Cook has an orchard on the ridge west of Mill Creek and Ralph Chandler is making a big clear ing on the road from Southern Pines to Carthage in the same region. These are pioneers in a big orchard extension that will before long open the country on those two ridges, just as the western end of the ridge where the Van Lindley orchard is was the beginning of this big prospect. It is on this ridge that J. Van Lindley picked his location when he made the first big orchard in the Sandhills, and he was not fooled. That orchard is cut up into smaller holdings, but it is still a great producer, and will be in smaller units for many a year. But the peach area will extend on toward the eastern end of the ridge and the eastern end is Lakeview, and and then the orchard influence be gins to be felt at this end of the ridge the land will open fast. With a ridge covered with peaches as tl.e ridge toward Southern Pines is now developing a road will go through from Lakeview to Pinehurst, and the picture that will spread out above the Lake will be one of the finest to be TOBACCO IS SELLING AT FARMERS’ AND PLANTERS’ WAREHOUSE Below is exactly what we have done this week.
