Moss of the northern section of the former Weymouth Estate acreage has recently been com pleted, it was reported this week. The property, consisting of 610 acres of woodland, lies to the North of Morganton Road, (Con necticut Avenue Extension) and is bounded on the West by the James Boyd property, on the East and North by the holdings of sev eral landowners: Mrs. Audrey K. Kennedy, Mr. and Mrs. Hardee Scott, Monsignor Melton, and Tremont Farms, owned by W. H. Frantz. The property is separated from the Morganton Road at its southwestern corner by a narrow tract owned by John Goldsmith. The Goldsmith home is the histor ic Duncan Shaw house, home of one of the first settlers. ’The new Moss acquisition was part of tbs former Weyniouth Es tate Tree Farm. The first tree farm to be started in Moore Coun ty, it was established in 1948 by James Boyd, Jr. and Daniel La ment Boyd and contains exten sive pins plantings of which two are in the new Moss tract. In 1950, forty-some acres of young pines were added to the already existing plantation on the site of the 50-acne Weymouth peach or chard. The other planting, made a few years later, is on the Buch an Field, so-named for the origi nal John Buchan whose pre-rev olutionary homestead was located there. Across the road from the site of the old home, on land still owned by the Boyd family, are remains of the foundations of the Buchan grist mill and dam, over James Creek, the free-flow ing stream which crosses the Morganton Road near this point and forms the eastern border of the Moss purchase. The land is criss-crossed by bridle trails and a few of the old hunt panels are still standing. Though it has been selectively cut, the area is heavily timbered and contains many trees of great age and beauty. In speaking of their purchase of the large tract, Mrs. Moss said that this was the most recent land acquired under her husband’s project of “saving the land” for the use of the Moore County Hounds hunt Of which her hus band has been Master since the pack was given to them in 1942. It is hoped that desirable hunting people will be attracted to this section to buy home places sim ilar to those established along the Young’s Road section, Mrs. Moss said. Though they have long been near the top of the list of owners of local property, the acquisition of this last tract puts Mr. and Mrs. Moss well at the head as the largest property own ers in the county.

Break-Ins Charged To 3 Local Boys, All 13 Years Old Three 13-year-old local boys who, officers said, have admitted to a number of break-ins in the area over the past two years were to have bearings in juvenile court at Carthage today. Three are from Southern Pines and one from Manly, a fourth . Southern Pines boy, also 13, who it was determined participated in only one offense, was turned over to his parents with a warning, said Police Chief Earl S. Seawell. All the boys are in the same grade at East Southern Pines School. Local police and the Moore County sheriff’s department co operated in the investigation, which involves break-ins of busi ness places at Southern Pines, Aberdeen and Manly, also two churches at Southern Pines. Clerk of Court C. C. Kennedy of Car thage serves as juvenile judge in Moore Coimty. The break-ins wens “mostly vandalism,” Seawell said, and lit tle was taken other than candy, soft drinks, novelties and other small items, also a quantity of crackers and cookies in four re cent break-ins at the Murray Cracker Co. storage building at Manly. The boys, who had told their families they were “camping out,” were traced after they had built a campfire at Manly, leav ing not only its ashes but candy wrappers and other debris, and a large bag filled with candies and cookies. In addition to the cracker con cern, places they had broken into included the Manly Grill (twice); the Aberdeen Lake concession stand and Styers’ .second-hand furniture store at Aberdeen (the latter one of the few places they took any money, along with an obsolete Army telepheone); and, at Southern Pines, the Presby terian and Methodist churches, the old Carolina Theatre building, some garage and storage build ings behind Poe’s Texaco Service and the concession stand at the ball park. The boys, who had been seen at their campfire, were picked up one by one and at first denied knowledge of the break-ins. How ever, once the first admission came, they “came clean” and they and their parents were very cooperative, Seawell said. He said two had been in trouble before, and one, whose case had been handled by the juvenile court, had been receiving psychi atric treatment. Publication of the names of juvenile defendants in cases of this sort is not permitted.
