Market officials explained that the tobacco is in better shape to handle, is not wet, as was the case last week, and is of better “case.” Lower prices generally are re ceived for damp tobacco, they said, because buyers have to take the chance of it molding during shipment.

C‘ One hundred fifty children of the community will be guests of Brevard people at a Christmas tree to be given Friday evening of this week, when individual mem bers of clubs will have as invited guests children whom they have selected to play Santa Claus to. Only invited children will be at the joyful event which is sched uled to begin at 7:30 o’clock, it being impossible for members of the various clubs participating to invite ALL children of the town to the affair. The movement was started two weeks ago by the Kiwanis club, the following clubs joining in the work: Business and Professional Women, D. A. R.. Wednesday, Mathatasian, Fortnightly and the Boy Scouts, the latter to have charge of getting the tree and ar ranging- the toys. Hope vas held out at first that all childi'sn of the town whose parents were unable to have Santa Claus visit in the home, would be invited t) the Christmas event, but the Urge number of children precluded this, and members of the variciTs organizations decided to invite such children as they especially wanted as their guests. Members of the Kiwanis club will be rivsponsible for the largest number (f children, each member inviting ive or more tots under age of tvelve years, while mem bers of Dther clubs are inviting numbers In like amount or less.

A. Townsend, presiding, used the old Mosaic law as basis for penalty 'raposed upon a man who was con victed of assault. Buford Mullinax w'as charged with assault on the person of Elza Burns, the latter having lost some time on account, of ..the af fair and besides had quite a doc- bill to pay. Judge Townsend used verses 18 and 19 of the 21st chapter of Exodus, in imposing- sentence, as follow's: 'And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, o'r with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed; “If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.” Part of State-Wide Cam paign Against Money Lenders’ Methods Hundreds of children will sad when Christmas morning comes—next Sunday—and find that Santa has failed to make his expected visit. These children would be made happy indeed some one in the community could only find time, and take the trou ble to bring them to the Christ- tree that vfiU be held at the elementary school building tomor- w night. Those people who are sponsor ing the movement are loaded down—they have their own fairs to look after, aside from the children who will be made to be lieve that there is such thing as Santa when they come to the community tree. They would, wore it possible, bring all the chil dren of the counts'^ to the school building and .aive them a' toy, some candy and nuts. Appeal is made to any person in the community who wants to make a little child happy to drop by The Times office, see Mayor Ralph Ramsey or the Rev. Paul Hartsell at once, Thursday, cer tainly not later than Friday morn ing-, and let the matter be explain ed. Lists of children who should by all means be guests of some one at the community tree Friday night are in the hands of the above mentioned three. It will be necessary, in order to brin.g- a child or a dozen or more children to the tree to see one of the com mittee members and make proper arrangements. It will mean a lit tle trouble, a little expense, but the pay will be fourfol.d, plus. There are possibly fifty more children in the city limits of Bre vard who should be guest of some one—then there are many more at Pisgah Forest, Rosman and other sections of the county; they have every right to a Happy Christmas'—if, and only IF, some one wants to help! RALEIGH. Dec. 21.—Two pro- fes.sional money lenders, who have carried on loan businesses here for some time, were named in pre sentments returned yesterday by the "Wake grand jury, following an inve.stigation into the reported operation in Raleigh of loan sharks. The presentments, handed to the clerk of superior court, were sealed and the names of those in volved and the exact charges against them are not expected to be made public until the January term of criminal court, when So licitor J. C. Little is due to take action in the matter. The grand jury’s action came as the result of a probe which started last Friday. After consid ering the information obtained against the alleged loan sharks by the old grand jury, the solici tor, under the law, may or may not seek indictment against those named. The probe of methods used by mone.v lenders here was a part of a state-wide crusade, designed to expose loan sharks preying small borrowers. Results were ob- tanied in several cities, including Winston-Salem and Charlotte, eral lenders being forced out of business. In Charlotte, civil suits have been started by several bor rowers who claim they have been called upon to pay many times the amount of their loans, only to learn finally that their payments have not reduced the principal of the loans one cent. Last week Judge N. A. Sinclair, presiding over superior court here, instructed the Wake grand jury to investigate rumors of operations of loan sharks in Raleigh. CHICAGO SCENE OF SPECTACULAR FIRE CHICAGO, Ill., Dec Spectacular rescues were made by firemen and volunteers today when flames raced through a two story building on West Division street after an explosion.

The pageant entitled “And Then Christ.” Tableaux, readings, solo.s, dia- log'ue, choruses and or.gan and pi- selections were included ii the evening’s program, all depict ing- in vivid and effective manner the story of the Christ Child. Leading characters in the pag eant were: Mrs. L. B. Haynes, ar tist; Leon English, model; Rebec Summey, reader; Mrs. Anthony Trantham, Mary; Mr. Anthony Trantham, Joseph; shepherds, wise, men and other attendants connected with the scriptural story. Mrs. Leon English presided at the organ. Miss Leone Lemons at the piano and young ladies of the Institute assisted in t' Christmas carols and solo parts, Leon English was director of e entertainment, and much credit is due him for his untiring efforts in producing- a sacred pro- n of such high order, together with his able assistants. Highways Opened In Short Period Practically all higliways in this district were reported as clear Tuesday Tiight by District Engi neer P. L. Threlkeld. Highway 28, Brevard to Hendersonville, was open Saturday at noon, following the heavy snowfall of Friday, while the Greenville hi-ghway opened Monday. Much work was done in Lake Toxaway and Hi.ghland tion embraced by this d" large crews being put tc that community to a.f^ Work Being Done on Road, Street, Church and School Projects Funds provided by the federal government are going a long ways toward making a Merry Christmas for people of Transylvania coun ty, more than two hundred fam ilies sharing in this unemployment relief fund. Plan of disbursement being- car ried out by the welfare board, with W. A. 'Wilson as superintend ent, gives men employment on i-public works in the county and pays them with orders for groceries and clothing, which or ders are honored at any of the business houses of the county. One dollar per day is paid to the workmen, each man being- al lowed to make ten or more days per month and the wages paid are necessarily spent for supplies, no cash being paid out. Then there are those people who are ill and unable to work, who are also sharing in the relief pro gram, these being given needed supplies of necessary type. This phase of the work applies for the most part to widows who have no means of support, furnishing clothing for children, and food stuffs, with the exception of flour, which is distributed by the Red Cross chapter, under supervision of Jos. S. Silversteen and working committees in each community. Men and boys able to do man ual labor are given employment, no help of a direct nature being given in such cases until after they have worked on some one of the projects now being carried on. Work being done includes, cleaning and beautifying school gTounds, church and -grave yards; repairing on outlying- county roads, and work on back .streets of Brevai'd and Rosman. Practically all the school gi[ounds are now complete, and with few exceptions all cemeteries in the county have been given a thorough cleaning, together with church premises. Several men have also been put to work on the Rosman-Pickens highway, although bad weather has held up this project to some extent. On this particular project, the men are paid in cash, being- under supervision of the State Highway department. Funds now on hand and being- received from the state’s alloca tion assure the projects going on through December and part ox January, with another allotment expected in January, Mr. Wilson states. Under the i)lan as now being carried on, there is no real excuse for any able bodied uiun allowing his family to suffer, and people of the county are asked to report all cases of this type to the wel fare department immediately up on being solicited for aid, the so licitor saying that he “cannot get work to do.” THEATRE TO BE HOST TO KIDS Free Show Will Be Given Monday Morning For School Children All school children of the town are invited to be guests of the Clemson theatre on Monday morning of next week at a free show to be given by the Messrs.
