Sandhills Building and Real Estate Activities
MUCH BUILDING
ACTIVITY NOTED
AROUND HEMP
Addition to Silk Mills and Erec
tion of New Business Build
ings Keep Many Busy
MANY NEW RESIDENCES
Up at Hemp they have a notion
t! at building' is a thing to keep up
I’euai'dless of the alleged hard times
th?.t are reported from other sections.
The big addition to the silk mill oc-‘
up d builders for a time until it
was completed and occupied, but since
Avas turned over to the operators much
else has been going on in the hand-
and hammer belt. Many new
structures have risen on the main
streets for business purposes and
more are going up. These are ex-
cee^^ '■ large number by the new
house's all around the village. Many
of the employes of the mill live in
their own houses, while other have
been ^ecuring the new houses that
have ''een steadily building until prob
ably seventy-five new roofs dot the
oAvn, and more are going on.
Right now a lack of houses causes
some inconvenience, some of the em-
^;Ioyes living as far away as Randle-
man and other points because of lack
of room at Hemp. With the prospects
of an increased force in the future
more new houses are indicated, as is
also a further probability of new bus
iness structures. Skilled workers in
the building trades have been unusual
ly well employed for many months,
although ordinary labor is not in great
demand. Two classes of hands are
busy, the mill workers and the build
ers. Not much offers in an extended
way for ordinary hands. Around the
country out of Hemp some sprucing
up is observed. The farms are in good
shape, and with their harvests are
prepared for winter. The village
makes a good local market for farm
stuff, which helps the rural neigh
bor to do some repairs, and that
calls for some building supplies. The
road work for a year or more on the
highway scattered considerable mon
ey in the neighborhood, which adds
to the improvement all around.

DESIGNED AND PLANNED
There is no inherent reason why small
houses and small gardens should not be
as beautiful as great ones. Beauty is a matter
of quality rather than quantity. In the plan
ning of the small house here illustrated, no
detail has been omitted which might serve
to make the setting for a gracious and full
life.
The plan of the house itself is compact
and livable, economical of space but not
crow^ded. It is a plan that need not keep
the housewife too much indoors. One enters
a small hall from which stairs ascend, and
the living and dining rooms open on either
hand. A sunny and convenient modem
kitchen and a screened porch are out of
sight behind the dining room and hall. Up
stairs two generous bedrooms are so for
tunate in windows th?.t they will always be
sunny and airy.
Closets are plentiful and. ample, and the
location of the bath room is convenient to
both chambers. French doors open from
both bedrooms onto a balcony over-looking
the courtyard or patio. The main entrance
is reached by way of a covered passageway
between the garage and the house. The
courtyard, so called, is really the front yard
of the house, although handily shielded from
the street by the garage. The house and
FOR GRACIOUS LIVING
grounds are planned for a fifty-foot lot. At
the rear is lawn and flower beds.
Complete building plans and specifications
are available for this house for $1.00. In
cluded with the plans is a cardboard cut-out
model of the house, architecturally drawn
to scale. The model can be colored, and it
will visualize for you exactly what the com
pleted house will look like. Address your
request for plans and model to the editor of
this paper. LHJ House Pattern Number 336.

Beasley’s Department Store in Vass,
which has been closed during the past
few weeks for repairs made necessary
lecent fire, will reopen on Satur
day of this week in a newly repaired
and freshly painted building. Miss
Nettie Gschwind will be in charge as
lady manager.
The opening day will be a gala oc
casion. There will be free gifts for
the children and during certain hours
free lemonade will be served.
R. P. Beasley, who claims Apex as
his home but divides his time pretty
equally between that place and Vass,
is the owner of the store, and a worth
w'hile man to have in the commun
ity. A\Tiat he lacks in statue is fully
made up in enthusiasm and optimism.
He came to Vass some ten years ago
and made investments, and although
he has met with obstacles along the
way, chief among them the big fire,
he still says that he considers the
Sandhills the coming part of the
State.
Extensive repairs and numerous im
provements have been made in the
two buildings owned by Mr. Beasley.
In the basement, where the fire orig
inated, the wooden beams have been
replaced by steel beams and electri
cians have re-wired that part of the
building, using V-X cable to make it
the last word in safety. The upper
story, where there are some twenty
room for living quarters, is being re
novated and additional bath room fa
cilities provided and when completed,
it will be unusually convenient and
attractive. J. A. Wilson of Apex is
the contractor in charge.
Building Notes

J. L. Deyoe of Pinebluff has made
extensive improvements on the inter
ior of his store, and is compares fav
orably with the business places of like
character in much larger towns.
one of the most interesting dogs in
the field or on the water that is to
be iound. It is growing into popular
ity, and Mr. Byrnes plans to increase
his plant here in the Sandhills to
make it one of the outstanding
sources of wire-haired fox terriers in
the United States. For this reason
he has secured ample grounds in a
g’ood location, with the expectation of
remaining there to build a permanent
establishment unless in the meantime
he should find that another location
in the commi<nity should better serve
his purposes. Good dogs are widely
sought, the recent journey of Jack
and Jim Boyd and Verner Reed to Eu
rope to look over the dog exhibits af
fording an example. Mr. Byrnes pro
poses to create here an industry in
raising these dogs on a large scale,
and expects to ^see his kennels before
long an attraction that will count
with the other features to give the
Sandhills section a further hold on the
interests of the visitors who come this
way from all over the country, and
to bring dog fanciers here from many
directions.
• Excellent Location
The present location is an excellent
one, with large frontage on the Mid
land road, and the slope of the hill to
the south giving a picture of^ the
place as it is approached from either
way, or from the roads o nthe hill
tops in the distance.
The climate, the water, the dry soil
and the clean sand afford conditions
in the Sandhills that are favorable
for dogs, a condition Mr. Byrnes has
gone over thoroughly. He has chosen
Pinehurst for his kennels just as the
horsemen are favoring this section
for their horses in the winter, and as
other admirers of dogs are bringing
their animals in increasing numbers
to the gi’atifying conditions found to
prevail here.
LOCAL PROPHETS PREDICT
BETTER TOBACCO PRICES
ter average of offering on the floors.
This is also borne out by the exper
ience this fall in the border and South
Carolina markets. There prices ruled
better, but once in a while a market
would show a sudden slump. This is
said to be accounted for by poor
stock from the bottom coming from
some of the territry where the
w’eather had affected the leaf, and
that dropped the average. Some lugs
have been going from this belt into
the border markets and bringing not
very good prices. But the sellers say
they need a little money and they
take their early stuff any place to
sell it right away.
This theory is believed to be so de
pendable that those who are watch
ing the situation from Georgia to the
eastern belt say prices point to high
er figures when the Sandhills tobac
co is ready to be sold.
The Chamber of Commerce of Aber
deen is making a decided effort to in
terest planters in the local market,
and with the enthusiasm that is in
evidence everybody seems cheerful
over the situation.

A Good Outlook
For the Winter
SOUTHERN PINES GIRLS '
RECEIVE COVETED INVITATION
The committee of the debuntante ^
ball at Raleigh have issued invita-;
tions to some hundred young girls of
the state. It is to be an outstanding
affair of the fall with several days’*
enter tainment, which will include'
dances, a breakfast at one of the
fashionable clubs and a tea given by i
Mrs. Josiah Bailey, wife of the Unit-;
ed States senator. Miss Margaret j
Oimstead and Miss Helen Packard
have the honor of being the two
young girls *from Southern Pines to
receive invitations to this event. Miss ,
Oimstead is a sophomore of Meredith, j
Raleigh. Miss Packard will enter a!
Northern school this fall.
The houses that are renting and the
inquiries for locations indicate a good win
ter this year in the Sandhills.
Houses in the Weymouth neighbor
hood are especially sought. Everybody
knows why. Weyniouth Heights is the pick
of locations.
A Tieighborhood that appeals to the
winter visitors evidently has something
worth while for the permanent resident
and the home-owner.
Which says a home location on Wey
mouth Heights is the ideal spot of the
Sandhills.
