Many Things of Wide Interest Seen
At First Transylvania County Fair
A ide from the interest that was
natural in exhibits at the county
fair here Friday and Saturday, sev
eral individual entries were of es
pecial interest, among them being a
topographical map of the county, fur
craft, paintings, and wood craft.
David Norton of the Brevard agri
culture class was proud displayer of
the -oil map of Transylvania coun
tv, having laid out the county inj
v'iry c ‘imable style, ar.d placed in-!
side the bounds an outline of the!
sods to be found here. Porter’s Loam
talus up 65 per cent of the county,
according to the map made up by
young Norton, with Porter’s Sandy
Loam running second at 21, Porters
Clay 5, Toxaway Loam 3 and Toxa
way Fine Sandy Loam at -three to
four. Crops best adapted to the vari*
i i,us soils were also shown, the young;
sf man expertly and interestingly I
talking to hundreds of folks during
the fair of this phase of farming.
In the paintings display there was
the kind cf beauty that is not only
restful to the eye hut to the soul as
well.the several pieces being
doubly of interest here because coun
ty people handled the brushes. Mrs.
W. H. Grogan had severai exception
ally fine drawings and Water colors;
Mrs. Charles Ashworth and Miss
Katherine English also having one
or more entries each.
Fur Craft, shown by Hubert Wolfe I
cf Route-2, attracted every passer
- by during the two days, and com
ments were heard from many, p'-ais
ing neat work shown.
Ulys Merrill for years county jail
er, had the most unique display, a
table top made from native poplar
and walnut, so wrought together, n
tinv piece of poplar and a tiny piece
1
if walnut that they defied counting.!
There were several other interesting'
places that held different people for]
'tine time among them being a din-!
play of fancy work that has never j
t>etn equalled in any show given;
here. It was estimated by one lady!
who is adept with the needle, that!
there were at least ten times as!
nueh actual work hours on display!
n the small front corner of the
luikling as one. could do in a life
lime.
Downstairs, in the livestock de
partment lovers of purebred smiled
with satisfaction as they viewed the
increased numbers of purebreds onj
display. Spotted Poland China pigs,I
gilt5 and sows were shown in abun-j
darce, with Hereford cattle and
Hampshire sheep following close. Mr.
and Mrs. T. .1. Wilson led in the
Heiefords, with vocational agricul
ture students and graduates of Bre
vard high school taking the cake
with their spotted Poland Chinas.
Arthur Whitmire was shower of
blooded sheep that drew much at
tention while Alney McCall of the
Gloucester section had a fine one
vear old bull on display, weighing
1235 pounds. one of the pret
tiest things in the eyes of some was
a celt shown by “Bud” Allison that
was perfection itself with a team of
two and three-years olds raised by
Davis Glazenev and now owned by E.
Carl Allison running in a close sec
ond.
It was a revelation, the many
things that could be seen at the fair,
nd mwny people looked, went away
a sco something else, and back again
and again to see the same thing. A
'vast improvement over the communi
ty fails of the past few years, peo
! pie in general were well pier.*-?d.
Brevard Footbail Team Shows Great
Promise of Being Outstanding Outfit
Brevard has a football team!
This is welcome news to many of
th - boys, their parents, and booster*
cf the sport in general here., a
general mixup having been in exist
ence here for several weeks.
Nearly three teams were out op
Wednesday, working hard, and look
ing like a college squad, with Conch
Tiison putting them through the ins
and outs that’ are necessary to whip
a good team into shape.
The Brevard team is composed of
tho-e beys in high school this year
and those who attended last year,
using the Brevard high school
equipment and getting regular coach
ing' from Coach Tiison. The team
will average around ICO to 170, with
plenty of material for subs.
J A game is being arranged for Fri
day or Saturday afternoon of this
f week, to be ployed here, probably
! with Fletcher High school. Regular
i schedule will be worked out follow
: ing this week’s game,
j The arrangement scents to be a
huppy solution to the football squab
] ble which had ics advent with begin
ning of the school term, when rubs
i were adopted by the school officials
to the effect that boys who had not
| made three passing grades last year
wculd not be allowed to play on the
[high school team.
In tho meantime, the regular Bre
vard High school team, made up of
boys who passed three subjects last
year, are continuing their workouts,
and show great promise of making
a fast if not a heavy team.

Impossible To Enforce Prohibition
Laws, Says Candidate For Repealers
i Editor Transylvania Times:
I shall thank you i> allow me to
I state, through the columns of The
l Times, iny position with reference
to the repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment and also rny past, as well
as my present attitude towards the
liquor question, which I hoptf to do
very briefly. .
In the first place I desire to
stats that, as a candidate for dele
gate favoring repeal of the Eigh
teenth Amendment, I am not there-;
by advocating the removal of proper
and necessary control and regulation
of the liquor business but rather be
cause I am in favor of and ad
vocate such necessary and proper
regulation and control I am offer-_
i ing to become the candidate or dele-(
! uato for the forces advocating re
I pedl- . .
With reference to my personal at
titude towards the whiskey question
I respectfully ask that my record as
a iaw-enforcement officer for snme(
twelve years or longer in this coun-,
ty be recalled and reviewed. With
out thought of egotism or boasting
I can say that, as an officer, I have
cut up more whiskey stills, arrested
and procured the conviction of more
men for violation of the prohibition
law, captured and poured out more
boot-leg and blockade liquor than
any single officer, past or present,
this county has ever had. I -have
faced unflinchingly — many times
single-handed and alone—every type
of liquor law violator including
b'rcknders. boot-leggers, liquor run
ners and racketeers, en masse; have
captured their outfits, their vehicles
■ for conveying their wet cargoes, ar
i i- ‘i:'d and procured the conviction
i of many such men and carried them
[r. rh'Mu gang’ of this and oilier
counties whiie the hosts of gooil fits*
ztns who arc now crying lYnm t>'
housetops for you to vote against
repeal were lounging supinely in tb>
comforts of their cwn fireside? un
mindful and unconcerned us to the
efforts I was making to halt tin- «vile
now so loundly complained ot. Shoulc
they succeed in the present t-umpaig*
they will be lending theii aid in help
ing to perpetuute the o ils above ri
forred to.
After long experience and an hon
est effort to enfovee the so-called
prohibition law I long ago reached
the conclusion that it is impractica
ble and impossible of enforcement
Ks effects on the youth of our cour
try have been most deplorable ar.
until we bring the manufacture a~ '
sale of whiskey and other iritoxica".
ing beverages under gcveritmec
regulation and control,—and I man
tain that by no other method shah
we be able to remove the liquor traf
fie from the hands of the cut-throat
and the racketeer,—we shall continm
to see our men and boys- and onr
women too, as for that matter, -able
to buy upon the highways and by
ways of our country the present
concoctions called whiskey, but which
are, in reality, only a blending of
certain "poisons which, wh<iu taken
into the stomach of man, render him
almost immediately crazy and which
would, if administered in larger po
tions, cause immediate death or per
manent insanity.
These are some of the evils ano
condition? which repeal of the hight
eenth Amendment and the placing of
' the liquor business in the hands of
.the government will remedy.
There is involved in this cnmpaig*
