he gets 12 months on the roads. ■ olicl

been trying for four years, and he
wanted something definite done about
It. Judge Pless said that he himself
had been contending with Will for
maybe ten years.

TRAIL WORK PUSHED
IN NATIONAL FOREST
(Continued From Page One)
building waterbreaks and stone steps.
A vista will be cleared on the top of
the mountain ’ and hikers should be
able to see Into Asheville, fifteen miles
distant. The Mount Pisgah trail is
accessible from the Pisgah Motor road
from Candler and Asheville and con
nects up with the State Highway from
Brevard and Waynesvllle at Wagon
Road Gap.
The second trail in popularity Is the
Looklngglass trail from Davidson riv
er to the top of Looklngglass Rock.
This trail Is two miles in length and
has been recently reconstructed by
the Forest Service.
Hikers who like to get out In the
rough will enjoy the trail along the
Pisgah Ledge from Wagon Road Gap
to Tennessee Bald. This is a twelve
mile hike. Two fine springs are locat
ed at Tennessee Bald and Cold Springs.
Hikers should either plan on having
suiunmv mwi — -
Wagon Road Gap or at Plnhook Gap.
This trail passes above Rig Yellow
stone and Little Yellowstone Falls on
the Pigeon River. It also follows the
route of the new survey of the Park
to Park Highway. Anyone taking
this trip should secure a berry permit
from the Pisgah Ranger Station as
this is blueberry time.
The South Mills Trail has been
maintained from the Turkey Pen Guard
Station to the Cantrell Creek Lodge by
Warden Huffman and a crew of local
men. This trail is ia excellent condi
tion and is Ideal for horseback travel.
Permission can be secured at the sup
ervisor’s office in Ashe\*llle to camp
at the Cantrell Creek Lodge over night.
This same I.odge is used as a check
ing station during the South Mills
Wilderness hunts. From the Captrell
Creek lodge a trail Is to be constructed
by Warden Huffman’s crew to Squir
rel Gap up Cantrell Creek. This trail
will enable travelers to walk to the
Thompson Creek Trail and from there
to the Pisgah Lodge. The main trail
up South Mills river passes Wolf Ford
and High Falls and joins the Thomp
son Creek trail at the TVA water
guage. This trip through the heart
of the Game Preserve Is well worth
taking, as wildlife In abundance can
be seen.
Old Vanderbilt trails of Interest are
the "Shut In” trail, from the Elk
Pasture on the Pisgah Motor road,
through Rig Creek passing the Ferrin
Knob tower to highway No. 191 at
Rent Creek, a distance of 14 miles,
and a carefully graded trail: and the
Laurel Mountain trail from the Pis
gah Motor road at the Pisgah Inn to
the Yellow Gap road a distance of
eleven miles and then follow the road
to the North Mills River Recreational
Area.
Numerous places of Interest can be
seen from the trails on the Pisgah
district that cannot be seen any other
way. Many beautiful falls rumble un
heard because the public hates to
leave the roads and their comfortable
cars. Two of the finest falls In this
country are the Devils Courthouse
Falls and the Hamilton Neill Falls,
yet visitors are few and far between.
The Devils Courthouse Falls are lo
cated above CCC Camp F-14 In Bal
sam Grove on the Courthouse road and
are only a quarter of a mile from the
road. Thd Hamilton Neill Falls are
located below the Davidson River
Trout Rearing station and a trail takes
off from the Daniel Ridge Road a few
hundred yards above the intersection
of this road and the Davidson River
road. The Hamilton Nelli Trail fol
lows an old railroad grade to the very
top of the falls. Another trail crosses
below the falls.
Brevard Is fortunately located with
in two miles of many picturesque
trails. Notable among these are the
Cagle Mt. trail that begins at the In
tersection of highway 280 and 2S4 and
continues for fifteen Vnlles to Glouces
ter Gap on the Cathey’s Creek road,
the Kings Mills trail to Cat Gap and
Johns Rock, the Lamb’s Creek trail
down Shut In or Horse Cove and many
others that afford a network of en
joyable trails in this vicinity.
Ranger John W. Squires realizes
that a great deal of the country cover
ed by the Pisgah trail is new to visit
ing nature hikers and would be glad
to give information on these trails to
anyone who will stop at the Ranger's
office at Pisgah Forest.
Check Flashers Try
Sneed Siniard Again
Sneed Siniard of North Brevard htutf
his second case of check forged against
him last week, and again the forgers
have been captured, without the checks
having been charged against Mr. Sin
iard’s account.
Two checks were turned In against
Mr. Siniard Monday morning of this
week, for $10.50 and $12.50, but they
were turned down by the cashier at
Transylvania Trust company, and the
officers called.
Bill Vaughn, aged about 18; Walt
Pearson, and Reuben Clayton, were ar
rested this week by policemen of the
town, and are being held in the case.
Vaughn is said to have written the two
checks, and_ Pearson and Clayton did

(From the fth of Augutt 15. HOt)
The Masonic I.odge is undergoing a
general overhauling. A raised plat
form has been extended all around the
room, with new rostrum at the end
of the building. The walls are being
papered, malting is being placed on
tho floor and the entire inside of the
hall is tc be repainted and varnished.
New and handsome chandeliers will
be put in and other little improvements
that will aid to tno beauty and com
fort of the hall will be made. When
all the work that is now started la
completed the Dunn's Rock Lodge will
have a home second to none In thl*
section of the country.
The Hawkins safe blowers are still
at large with very little if any clue as
to who they arc. The basket they
used and left by the safe, was Identi
fied by Mrs. Ledbetter of Davidson
River. The parties who borrowed it
on the evening before the robbery
claimed to be t. camping party and
bought some rations from Mrs. Led
better ar.d borrowed the basket to carry
it out to their camping place. The
same parties were seen by others in
this section on the day before the safe
was opened and since have been miss
ing. Policeman Aiken and others have
taken In the surrounding country and
towns in search of the guilty parties,
but so far nothing has been learned
as to their whereabouts. Mr. Hawkins
says 22 or 23 watches were taken in
stead of 15 as first reported.
_
It Is thought now that the new resi
dence of Dr. J. W. Wallis, opposite
the Franklin hotel, will be finished in
I the next two weeks, and that the work
of the Woodbrldge house will b# com
pleted within three weeks. Work on
Jasper Orr’s residence is being pushed
I ahead, and it looks as if the outside
work was almost completed. The side
wall of the new store room adjoining
England’s store is up to the first Joist,
while the rock and brick for the foun
dation of J. W. McMinn’s new brick
building have been placed on the ground
ready for use.
A series of meetings is In progress
at the Baptist church this week. In
these services Pastor Newton is assist
ed by Rev. D. W. Herring. The con
gregations so far have been good and
much Interest is being manifested.
Mr. Herring is a fine preacher, a de
voted Christian and Is doing good
work.
Mrs. Sam Allison, who has been quite
ill for some two weeks, is still very
sick. There has been little if any
change in the last few days, and her
condition is still almost hopeless. East
Monday she was moved to the Dr.
Sales place near the home of Mr. Al
lison’s father. Her many friends sin
cerely hope that she may yet recover.
On Wednesday the Epworth Deague
and Methodist Sunday school went out
to Glen Cannon falls and enjoyed the
day picnlcing In the woods. Pastor
and Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Puett and Miss
Mamie Allison chaperoned the party.
Robert and Henry Moss, who live in
Buncombe county, were arrested Mon
day in the vicinity of the Pink Beds
for digging ginseng contrary to law.
They were brought to Brevard and ap
peared before Justice W. P. Whitmire
Tuesday. A fine of $10 and costs was
imposed on each.
V. B. McGaha met with a painful ac
cident last Saturday afternoon. In at
tempting to drive several cattle from
a cane patch he fell and broke his arm
near the wrist. While It gives him
much pain, he is not confined to his
room and Is able to be about his work.
Pew persons who remain constant
ly in their home town comprehend
how rapidly they are growing or at
what pace they are traveling the road
of progress to prosperity. After an
absence of more than four months ye
rested and renewed News editor returns
to the peaceful haunts and equable
climate of Brevard to find that his
town has almost outgrown his recog
nition, and he hastens to tell his old
readers of the many improvements
which have been commenced, continu
ed and completed while he was rest
ing among the lakes of Michigan and
Indiana. The fact that these Invest
ments are largely by our own citizens
marks our town as under the control
of men of marked ability, enterprise,
progress and business sagacity. We
doubt if there Is another town of less
than 600 population in the South, or
even in the United States, that has as
good a water supply and sewerage
system, and there is no reason why it
should not be the most popular health
resort In the mountains. The follow
ing gives a 11st of the improvements
that have been started or completed
since we left Brevard in March, and
the approximate cost of same; J. W.
McMinn, residence, $6,000; Mrs. Wood

Invention of Ice Cream Cone*
George Washington liked to
eat ice cream. He had a spe
cially-built freezer in which hi a
servants made ice cream for him
whenever they could get ice.
But no one ever tasted an ice
cream cone before 1900. The honor
of its invention goes to the girl
friend of Charles E. Menches, a
young ice cream salesman in St.
Louis. Menches was doing his
courting during the St. Louis ex
position in 1904.
On one occasion he brought his
fiancee a bunch of flowers and an
ice cream sandwich at the same
time. Lacking a vase, the resource
ful lady took one of the layers of ^
the sandwich and rolled it into a
cone to act as a vase, She then
rolled the other cone in the same
way, and so was invented the ice
cream cone.
The ice cream sundae is of an
earlier origin. About 1870, the city
council of Ithaca, N. Y., passed
a law prohibiting saloons from sell
ing drinks on Sunday. The law,
however, did nothing to prevent bar
customers from getting thirsty on
Sundays the same as any other day.
The pharmacist in a drug store
across the street from the city’s
leading saloon was not slow to
capitalize on this human frailty. He
devised a Sunday concoction made
of ice cream to provide relief for
thirsty customers on that day in
place of stronger fare. In almost
no time, his idea had spread to all
the other towns in the country that
also had Sunday closing laws for
saloons.

or Roll”—send in your renewal
