Sheriff Craig of Pickens called Transylvania officers to that town late Thursday afternoon, where clues were checked over and the possibility of the East Fork sec tion as a hide-out decided upon. However, according to Hendrix, who asserted that he did not know any of the men in the party, they left in their Hudson sedan, going by way of Rosman. with the ex pressed intention of going on to Franklin, with final destination unannounced.

Fifty Per Cent Lopped Off Supplementary Allotment ONLY $500FwILL BE RECEIVED HERE Expenditures Are Esti mated To Be Prac tically Same Transylvania county’s hope of being able to reduce its .'school taxes this year were blasted Sat urday v/hen word was received by Prof. J. B. Jones, county super intendent, that the state board of equalization had cut this county’; allocation of state funds in half. Last year Transylvania county schools received from' the state $6,628 as aid on the extended term. This sum has been cut by the equalization board to $3,- 455.97, according to word receiv ed by Prof. Jones. Estimated ex penditures for the extended term of 1932-33 have been made by the school head as being practically the same as that of last year when the minimum amount over previ ous years was spent. A total of $10,492 was the county’s part of the extended term last year, and with the approximate same amount required for this year’s work, several cents will necessar ily have td be added to the tax rate to care for the reduced amount received frmo the state. Livestock Industry County’s Best Asset All Conveyances Must Use U. S. Revenue Stamp Register of Deeds Jess, A Gal loway is calling attention to the fact that the new federal revenue, bill provides for a stamp on all conveyances. Since the law does not require post offices in towns under 25,000 population to keep these stamps, the Transylvania Trust company is keeping a supply of the stamps, M. B. McDaniel, cashier, stating to a representative of The Tran sylvania Times that his institu tion would carry the revenue stamps as a matter of courtesy to citizens of the county. The law requires a 50-cent stamp on conveyances from $100 to $500, and 50 cents additional for each $500 or fractional part over this amount. The revenue stamps must be attached when the conveyance is made, Register of Deeds Galloway stating that un der the law he could not register a deed that did not carry the re quired stamps.

Manager of Packing Com pany Advises Stock Raising Here READY MARKET FOR CORN IS ASSURED Purebred Pig Project Is Studied in County by E. S. Papy “Hog raising in Transylvania county should be an industry, not a side-line,” said E. S. Papy, of Atlanta, manager of the White Provision company, in an inter view with The Times here Mon day. Mr. Papy, with Prof. J. A. Glazener, vocational agriculture teacher of Brevard high school, and Bruce Webb, promotion man ager of The Asheville Citizen, had just completed a tour of the county when he made the state ment that this county’s greatest asset was its adaptability to live stock raising. Mr. Papy, head of one of the large packing concerns of the South, has made a tour of all western counties in interest of his company, and declared that his company alone could use over a hundred thousand head of hogs yearly from Western North Caro lina. “Farmers of Transylvania need never fear over-production of hogs, with the easily accessible market facilities offered,” Mr. Papy asserted, and with the fine highways now connecting this section with the large markets at Moultrie and Atlanta, Ga., trans portation can be cut to a mini mum. “Never have I seen such won derful possibilities for producing livestock, hogs, cattle and sheep, as that offered in this county,” the packing plant head said, “an;i somebody is passing up a great industry here in this county by not capitalizing on these ideal conditions.” He pointed to the fact that corn, the basic feed for cattle and hogs, was grown in abundance here, climatic condi tions were ideal, marketing'facil- ities handy, and most of all a guaranteed mai’ket assured for their corn when sold through feeding it to livestock. Commenting upon the Rotating Pig club which was instituted here this spring by business peo ple of Brevard and members of the Brevard high school agricul tural class, in which 30 purebred Spotted Poland China pigs are be ing raised by the agricultural stu dents under supervision of Prof. Glazener, the market head de clared that he was very much im pressed with the type of boys who were owners of the hogs, and also deeply impressed with the idea of co-operation between the business people and the farming interests of the county. This idea of bringing high type brood stock into the county is one of the greatest things for Tran sylvania county that could pos sibly be done, Mr. Papy declared, and he emphatically asserted tha-t it would mean more to the finan cial independence of farmers of this section in the next few years The fall term of the Institute • than any one thing.

Mr. Papy expressed the belief that the Spotted Poland China breed was well adapted to local conditions, and quoted statistics to show that purebred hogs and cattle would bring farmers at least one-third more profit over a leriod of several pears. Pure- red stock will grow a third fast er on the same amount of feed, Mr. Papy asserted, and invariably the development is of such type in purebred animals that they dily command a better price per pound. Mr. Papy, together with Prof. Glazener, visited a number of the boys who are owners of the prize Spotted Poland China pigs in this county, and also called on young Edgar Glazener of the Connestee section, who is growing a prize litter of Poland China-Durocs which he expects to place in the Purina feed contest early in Aug- competing with other stock raisers in North Carolina for a cash prize.
