(Times Staff Photo) Apfpropriation Made Traffic To Be Routed Over New Lake Sega Bridge Oct. 1 Construction of the hew bridge on US Highway 64 between Brevard and Rosman at Lake Sega is expected to be completed by October 1st, W. ^rtis Russ, Highway com- Iniissioner for this district, announces today. Traffic will be permitied over the bridge on that dai.'. Heavy rains and other prob lems duringz the past few months have delayed the opening of traffic across the new bridge, Mr. Russ stated. Work has been started on sev projects in the coun ty to get Transylvania out of the “high water*’, he con tinued. The contract was let last week to prevent flooding of Cal^ell and French Broad streets near Brevard College which floods during heavy rains. This week $54,000 was ap propriated for paving .03 of a mile off Morris road. Another appropriation was made on Monday of $39,000 for grading and paving of Bert Lane. Sam Lance road will be graded, drained and stabil ized at a cost of $15,000. The huge culvert projects on US Highway 276 are being completed, and now every ef fort will be made to build up the pti ighway in areas were flooding occurs. “We are doing our best to get Transylvania out of the high water,” Mr. Russ report ed to the press Tuesday of this week. At the present time more money is being spent in Tran sylvania for road construc tion than at any other time in the history of the county. Several other projects are being studied by Highway en gineers and surveyors. » Long List Carried Many Students In College From Brevard And County A Superior Court ruling has been handed down ordering that i\. Ed Wilson be charged with and stand trial for the capital felony of murder in the first degree. Wilson allegedly shot and killed Harry Blake, a well- known Transylvania horseman and cattle raiser, as Blake was driving his tractor home on August 17th. The ruling ordering Wilson to be held without bond and stand trial for first degree murder was handed down on Monday by Superior Court Judge Chester Morris, who is currently presiding over this session of Superior Court here. Judge Morris’ ruling stated that sufficient evidence per taining to the shootl -^' had been shown by the State to entitle the Solicitor of this dis trict to place Wilson on trial on the charge of murder in the first degree. No date for the trial has been set, but Wilson has been ordered held in Ti*ansylvania county jail without bond until the time of the trial.

For Transylvania county’s farm population, the past year turned out to be a better one, all things considered, than had been expected. Most local operators were able to report incomes that were equal to or bigger than those o-f farmers and ranchers in many parts of the country. Contributing to it was the improved operating efficiency and technical know-how of lo cal growers. With more farm machinery at their command and with more intensive use of fertilizers and insecticides, they have been able to get bumper yields per acre. Also helping to make 1966 a more profitable year than most was the greater demand, in this county and abroad, for agricul tural products. It created a rise in the price of many commodi ties. The farm statistics, covering the local area and all other sec tions of the country, were com piled by the Standard Rate and Data Service. They show that Transylva nia county farmers accounted for gross revenues, in the past year, of $1,509,000. That was the gross figure, be fore taxes and before deduc tions for operating costs. It represented the cash pro ceeds from the sale of farm goods, as well as government payments and the value of the home - grown items consumed on the farm. A breakdown of the local receipts from the sale of farm products, based on Depart ment of Agriculture reports, show that approximately 48 percent came from the crops and 52 percent from livestock, poultry and dairy products. In terms of Transylvania county’s farm population, the gross receipts for the year were at the rate of $1,258 per capita. Although the average Ameri can farmer has been able to boost his production and in crease his gross income, he has not been successful in turning much of his gain into greater net income. The cost ■ price squeeze has been against him. And, the recent reports show, the squeeze has become worse during the first half of this year. Prices have been dropping and production costs have continued to rise. Program Highlights WPNF To Broadcast The Big Football Doubleheader Sat.
