Miss Osie Miner entertained a
number of her friends last Friday
night with a candy breaking.
About twenty guests were present
and the enjoyment was without
limit. A candy breaking, it
should be explained, is a social
where partners draw lots for kisses.
It is-an occasion much dreaded by
young ladies, but submitted to in
charity.
Tuesday morning dawned clear
as most of the days during the
golden weather of the past few
weeks, without sign of fog or haze.
During the morning a mysterious
smoke began to cover the country,
and in mid afternoon the sun ap
peared a ball of red fire, shorn of
his beams. The sudden arrival of
these vast volumes of smoke caused
considerable surprise and comment
and the opinion was hazarded that
the Michigan or Pennsylvania for
est fires might be the origin of it.
A piece of human flotsam left by
the receding waves Of a circus
drifted on our shores last week,
and reproduced, to the delight of
the curious, the tricks learned and
practiced in the big show with the
bicycle. His wheel was made to do
unheard of things. He reared the
the fore wheel in the air, and flew
around on the rear wheel. He
stood on his head in the saddle, and
rode about with his feet in the air.
While in motion he detached the
front part of the machine, threw
it away, and rode on the remainder.
Leaning a twenty-foot ladder
against a telephone pole, he carried
his wheel to the top round, mount-
ed and rode down the ladder. And J goes to show that neither hospital
many other wonderful things were treatment nor family reunions nor
wearing a derby hat and smoking
flve-cent cigars can subdue the rul
ing passion.

tended to the young people of this
community to be present.

w’orthy one and we urge a liberal

Tommie D. Clayton remarked
last Saturday that he cast his first
vote when ho was sixteen years of
ago. “It was the best vote I ever
made,” he said. “It was at Mal
vern Hill, for JeiY Davis and Zeb
Vance, and was cast in Charles
Osborne’s hat.” This was an early
start, and in the right direction.
Resristration is going on apace at
the different precincts. Now is the
time to be entered upon the perma
nent roll. In the -coming election
‘many young men will vote for the
first time. They should bear in
mind that the ballot is a sacred
privilege, never to be trifled with
if they would keep their manhood
unstained. He who sells his vote
sells his manhood, and he who buys
another’s vote, parts with his own
honor for nothing.
Selica and Rosman are contend
ing for the location of the State
High School for Western Transyl
vania. The county board of educa
tion, being unwilling to decide the
question, it has been referred to
the state board for settlement.
Both districts have recently built
new school houses,, of which they
are justly proud. The school at
Rosman is already well under way,
with Miss Nannie Jordan and Miss
Kitty Zachary as teachers.
J. J. Miner returned to Brevard
last Saturday aft«r an absence of
seven weeks. He had been to Kan-
sas City, Mo., to Chicago and to
St. Charles, Michigon, where he
visifed his father, a man now near
ing the century mark. • Mr, Miner
was busy shaking hands with a
number of people “as soon as he ar
rived. He had in his hand a bam
boo walking cane, with Filipino
carvings upon it. A bystander,
handling the cane, heard some
thing rattle inside, “That must be
a fishing rod you’ve got in there,
judge,” He said. “Yoxi jnst better
bet it is,” replied the judge, and
unstopping the end of the cane he
produced several joints, which
Frank Tinsley of Pelzer, S.TJ., who

day morning.
“The Wasp” has flown to parts
unknown, and we hope the stings
it may have left bShind are none of
them so deep as to be incurable.
As bee stings cure rheumatism, so
the sting of “The Wasp” was in
tended to purify the jwlitical life
blood of our county.

Starnes report a pleasant trip to
Little River and Laurel Creek.
The first feature of their trip was a
preaching service at ^noon on Tues
day at the. Laurel Creek school
house. There was a good congre

children and others. After preach
ing they went to the home of F. L.
D. Thomas where they partook of a
bountiful dinner. At night there
was another preaching service at
the home of Mr. Thomas which was
well attended and wliich every one
seemed to enjoy. The preaching
was followed by some enjoyable
singing in which the daughters of
Mr. Thomas and others took part.
Mr. Thomas kindly invited both of
the gentlemen‘to come again and
visit v,'ith him the beautiful falls
near his home, an invitation of
which they are both anxious to
take advantage.
