Rav. F. M. Jordan Preached His Earewell Semon in the First Baptist Church and Left for Home To-day. Rev. F. M. Jordcin. A’ho kindly <'onsented to prolong his stay in our city and continue the revival services in the First Baptist ehurch, preached his farewell ser mon in that church last night, and left this morning for Murfrees boro to attend commencement ^'xercises there, where his daugh ter is attending school, and to gether they will proceed on their journey homeward Thursday. Mr. Jordan is a grand old man and has lived a life wt*ll worthy <^f emulation by the young cori- vorts who have listened to liis ii - struction during his stay among us. He claims what few men in tills sin-cursed world can claim, truthfully, i.e.: That he never took a drink of whisk'ey, never used tobacco in any form, never played cards or gambled in any form, never attended a theatre, iind never danced, nil of which go(‘s to make him an extraordi nary person and. adding to that his long service in spreading the glad tidings of the (xospHl of the Son of God, one to wliich great reverence is due. These things being true, we find a man who, I roni a morjil jioint of view, “prac- lic(\s what he j)i’eaches.'* IMr. Joi-dau is a pioneer among his brethren of the pulpit, being 715 years of age and having been activ’ely engaged in the ministry Tor forty-three yc'ars. He still clings to the ])rinjitive mode of <leclai'ing tlu?(/ospel and, despite ills advanced age. his mind is still broad and elastic, liis wit pun- and his l\e(Mi blue eyes re lain tlie si)arkl»' of youth. He is broad and liberal in his views. Is a scholar and writer of some note and witliul a genial, l)ig hearted gentleman t>f the old school—a man with a lovely character and sunny disposition, for which lie is !ov(‘d and revei’ed throughout Ili(i length and bi-eadth of North ('ai’olina and extending into Vir ginia, South Cai’oiina, Georgia and other southern states. Like Paul and Pciter of old. his visit to the chui-ch(‘s in this stale Coi* the last time, poi’iiaps. is full ol' instruction and att<‘nclcd wilii inspiration and a buiiding iij) and an uplifting of the church gener ally. Certainly will th(‘ im})j-ess !»r his nu'ssages to the church in 1 his city be long ri‘un*nil>( = r(';l and the good he has doin' will onilivt* 1li(' things of this world and liiid full truition in eternity.

C., and will retire from active ministry over the states, only preaching near his home. The prayers and best wishes of those who met with him here will go with him to his home and will abide with him in the last hours of his useful life. •‘How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things.” C. A. B. —From Goldsboi’o Arf/un of May 6. Would a Foundry Pay? Millard Galloway of Gloucester spent Tuesday night in Brevard, on his return from a business trip to Asheville. He had been over to our mountain metropolis to get some sawmill repairs, and this brings us to the question ‘'Would a foundry and repair shop pay in Brevard?” We have noticed during the past years that every broken gear-wheel or other repair that cannot be made by an ordinary blacksmith has to be sent abroad to be mended. If the cost of re pair was the only cost it migh not l>ay to V)uild a foundry here, but in addition to this expense there ai'e the railroad charges and the lost time of both hands and ma ciiine w hile repairs are in prog ress. This often amounts to more than ten times the actual necessary outlay. The (luestion of delay is often more important than any item of expense. Under these circumstances we believe that a foundry and ma chine repair sho[) would be a pay ing investment for some enter- {)rising man who understands the business. The outlay need not be lai’ge at first, but Brevard is growing and the business is cer tain to grow with it. No Oistlllsry for Brayard. A petition is being cii’culated asking the Board of Aldermen to call an el(?ction to vote whether a distillery shall be established in Brevai-d or not. There should Ije no hesitancy in refusing to sign this petition. We. do not noed a distillery in town and ho})e we will not have it. Aside from t he stench arising from the slop we would also hav<* under oui- noses hog and cattle pens and t iu‘i r attondant evils. A majority of our voters decid ed that we did not need ;i dispen sary here, even with its revenue, and to now allow a liipior factory stai’ted here and the town gain nothini4‘ by it would be unbeai'- able. If 51 still was allowed in town there would lie wdiiskey sold or given away and drunkenness would be increased. Let us ii'ive the Watt's bill a show and st'e if the county is not better oi'f without any whiskey being made in it. If the law is not a good one we can change it nexi session of the U'gislalure. but give it a show. A distiller :iiak(,*s his monoy Ijy selling wins key and in evading the revenue laws and if he was allowed in (own lie would manage to eyade Ihf town law and m;ik(' money here. We hope that the petition will fail, foi- tlie ])i'o})osiiion would 1)0 defi'aled at the ])olls, while the town would ])ay the cast of hold ing the election.
