Few of the counties will con tinue their prison camps. Mecklen- Taylor, Gardner’s private secre tary and now executive counsel, is :eing put forward by Charlotte "leveland county, is said to be con sidering such a race. Felix Alley, Waynesville, is receiving mention. Senator John H. Folger, Surrey -ountv also is being talked for the on a roomy site has now to go some miles outside the villages. Land Getting Scarce Recently a well-informed observer of conditions in the Sandhills re marked that faster than we realize the available ground is being absorb ed by rural estate builders, and that the problem that is about to face this section is not to find buyers for the land that maybe for sale, but to find landfo rthe buyers who will be seek ing locations. People are increasing all the time. Land is not. The Sand hills area is limited. More folks are steadily learning the desirability of this section for attractive homes and for the advantages found here. This same observer just referred to pre dicted that before we suspect it we are-liable to face a shortage of de sirable land at prices that now seem moderate, for it is impossible to ob tain as much as has already been taken by home makers and builders of country estates without asking for a division of acreage by those already possessors of big holdings. The Turnure project is another ex ample of that movement which is so prophetic. The old Bilyeu home was one of the well-known farm homes of the neighborhood, a factor in the growth of the community from the pinewoods, the swarm from which a brood was reaped and sent out into the world. It was the cordial center of a little group of neighbors, active in its influence on the territory around, self-contained, typical of the progres sive influence of its day. It was a home and institution that compared with the development then in prog ress. But Mr. Holleyman, the archi tect, has lost the old house in a fine big creation which he is making, us ing the older building as a nucleus, but adding east, west, north and south, up and down, expanding and modernizing, until the Bilyeu family would have difficulty in recognizing anything about their old home except perhaps some of the trees that are carefully saved. That is the way of the architect and of the new home-maker. Money, skill and appreciation have been moving the Sandhills to a wholly new plane. And along! with the architect and the builder comes the landscape architect, and he changes the face of the forest and the lawn and the roadside, and that is so pronounced that here once more the old-timer is lost when '•'e cornes back to the Sandhills after an absence of some considerable time. Mr. Turnure is closing the ring that circles the villages with a magnificent development, but he is not setting any final seal on anything. He is merely broadening that force that is inocu lating the whole Sandhill area with the microbe of intelligent progress, and out of what he and all the other workers of his type are doing is com ing a marvel that none of us is bold enough to yet conceive. I DEWBERRY SEASON ENDS WITH PRICES WELL DOWN The dewberry season in the Cainer- on section was of short duration. The last pickings are being shipped this week. The first shipments were made by express only a couple of weeks ago. They brought fancy prices, but after heavy shipments went north the price slumped and the last shipments that have been made dropped to $2.00 per crate and under. This is considered a low price by the growers. In some j cities where a number of cars found ready sale last season only one to two cars were marketed tliis season. As usual much of the crop was car ried north by truck but it is believ ed the last of the truck shipments have now been made. Weymouth Heights Moves Eastward Last week the Kiwanis CJub met in its regular session at The Paddock, the club house east of Bethesda Road. Down that way are now the Paddock and the Webster Knight II Club. The social influences are extending farther over the summit. Next winter both of those centers will be in the heart of much activity. Bethesda road has moved into South ern Pines. Weymouth Heights is not in the village geographically, but it is a highly prominent member of the community ex cept as regards boundary lines.
