Because after the first lot of ground there was made the job stopped More people came along to Manhattan Island, but no more ground. So folks began offering more money for a piece that might be wanted. And now they put up buildings six hundred feet high because they have no room to make buildings six hundred feet long. ; And, in the same way, v/hen the Weymouth ridge | was created the job stopped. Nobody is making, any ; more ground on top of the hill or on the slopes. » j The inference is that the man who is like^ to want a location on Weymouth Heights should get it now before it is gone. And the old farmer in the Hoosier Schoolmaster, wisely followed his wife's advice when buying his land, to “git a plenty while y’re gittin.” s. B. RICHARDSON Real Estate Southern Pines. North Carolina HERE TO ORG ANIZE GAME PRESERVE UNDER STATE LAW State Game Warden England Outlines Plans to Sandhills Group at V’ass Meeting PUBLIC HUNTING RIGHTS At a meeting at the Hotel Char- mella in Vass last Friday State Game Warden Charles England of Raleigh met with a group of interested men from eastern Moore and the neigh borhood, the purpose being to organize the first game preserve, under the new law, in the state. Among those present were N. L. Gibbon, N. J. Pat terson, Alex Field, county game war den, James Tufts, Will McNeill, Thom as Upchurch of Raeford and E. D. Dunlop. Mr. England explained the law concerning the establishment of game preserves, the part the state will take in the oversight of the pro ject,. the restriction of hunting rights to those the land owners may permit to use the land, and the prospects of making there a hunting reservation that will attract hunters who will be willing to pay the landowners for the privilege of hunting on their lands. Some 6,000 acres of land lying west of the Hoke county border and around the Little Rivel* neighborhood and about Dunlap lake, extending well over to the land hunted by the Moore County Hounds, is involved in the reservation. One of the valuable feat ures of the area is that it joins Fort Bragg, a great reservoir of wild life, including not only quail and turkey, but probably the best supply of deer and animals in this part of the state. Foxes aro abundant also in the range. Several deer were reported at the meeting as having been seen in the boundary in the last few days. State Surveillance Mr. ibbon asked Mr. England about keeping promiscuous hunters off the land, and Mr. England in formed him that the state would un dertake to protect the landowners from unlawful hunters and that every landowner would automatically be come a fame warden on his own land along wi::h the county and state offi cers. He also said that the movement would help to stop the illicit cutting of wood on lands of others. James Tufts ventured the opinion that if the hunting range is properly handled, game encouraged and prop agated in sufficient numbers and | suitable restrictions and business man agement extended over the property no question would be encountered as to the number of hunters who would be glad to take advantage of the res ervation at a fee of $4 a day to the land owner, as is prescribed by the state law. He expects to go down that way shortly with his own dogs to try out the field and see what it has to offer and what can be done with the situation. As this is the first acceptance by the State of a range of this sort un der the new law the landowners are proceeding cautiously in the forma tion of their association, and the next few weeks will be a period of study of the conditions and the law, and familiarization of the people in the territory with re uirements and the possibilities. The opinion of hunters and landowners is that the project promises a definite success, and that its success will be the beginning of big things for the hunting area of the Sandhills. REAL ESTATE NOTES Ralph W. Page has placed on the market for rental this winter his resi dence, the former Walter Hines Page home, at Pinehurst. This estate is one of the most attractive in the Sand hills, with its large house set back from Linden Road and nestled among the trees, a tennis court, stables, small lake and all the attributes of a fine winter home. The house, built by the late Ambassador to Great Britain, is spacious and comfortable, with bed rooms on both the ground and upper floors. There is a servants* cottage on the property. E. K. Kane, Mrs. Kane and two daughters, Florence and Virginia, of Kushequa, Pa., have taken the Grover home near The Paddock, for the win ter, and will occupy it in a few days. They have been visitors to Southern Pines many times in the last 25 years, and after winters in California, Flor ida, Mexico, Arkansas and Cuba, with summers in Canada and Alaska, they still return to the Sandhills. Mrs. Howard Butler is a member of [the family. $ LHJ Hout« PoH«rn O O 7 SPANISH ARCHITECTURE FOR SMALL HOMES Automobile touring wWle seeing America first is probably more respon sible for the spread of interest in Spanish architecture for small houses than any other one thing. Up from Florida and back from California have come ideas galore for the home-to-be. Although there may be little real Spanish left after the style has been worried into our Southwest from Mexico, and thence throughout the States, never- the-less this warm weather architecture is adaptable and pleasant to have. Clay tile roofs and bare expanses of stucco walls white or colored, seem to create an atmos phere of which many of us are extremely fond. The use of colorful tiles inside or in the patio, and staunch bare timbers over head can be attractive features of the small Spanish house. One-story Spanish houses usually ramble over considerable ground area if there are more than just a few rooms. Three future room additions are planned for the house illustrated. The original unit as shown in cludes three rooms with attached garage. Complete building plans and specifications are available for this cottage for $1.00. In cluded with the plans is a cardboard cut-out model of this cottage, architecturally drawn to scale. The model can be colored, and it will visualize for you exactly what the com pleted cottage will look like. Address your request for plans and model to the editor of this paper.
