The N*ws has decided to publish a
twelve page paper. We believe this
can be done and in fact is necessary
to keep up with the times and to
handle the growing demands of our
aubscribers and customers in general.
Transylvania's printing oflSce has
grown i^rom a very small beg^inning
in which the famous old ''Washing

of Western North Carolina. Consid

There are two reliable methods
for preserving eggs for use in sum
mer when the “hen fruit” is scarce
and high in price.
The water glass method, and the
dry salt method. For success with
either of these methods, the eggs
must be infertile. To insure infer
tile eggs the rooster should be kept
with the hens of the “mating pen”;
and after two weeks you may com
mence to put down your infertile
eggs.
For tjhe water glass method:—
Put one quart of water glass in a
fruit jar and cover lightly; (if the
lid is screwed on it will stick for
ever.) As needed, mix with cold
water in the proportion of one part
water glass to fifteen parts water.
Put clean infertile eggs only (do not
wash) in earthen jars or crocks and
cover with the mixture. Do not put
in more of the mixture than will
cover the eggs until the jar is full,
then pour on enough to have from
one to two inches of the mixture on

LOADS AND ROADS
(Raleigh News and Observer.)
Buncombe county has taken ac
tion in a matter that sooner or later
must command the attention of every
section of the state where hard roads
are built. Buncombe has been a
leader in the construction of hard
surfaced roads. The heavy traffic of
big trucks is having a bad effect on
the concrete and asphalt roads and
the county is limiting the weight that
may be carried. Here seems to be
another example of antagonistic
forces. For years inventors have
been trying to make cannon that
will pierce the heaviest armor plate
afloat^. At the same time the armor
plate people are trying to make
plate that a shell cannot penetrate. {
♦
The road situation is a paralld. I
The road building is working for a
hard surface that will carry trafiic, ^
and wants a lighter load. The traffic '
i
man wants to carry a heavy load and i
wants the road builder to solve the t
problem. ' -
For the present the cost of the
more substantial road will compel
the traffic men to move lighter loa^.
Heavy trucks, and heavy loads are so
much in the minority yet that they
Mhnot ask the privilege of destroy
ing roads that are amply substantial
for ninety-five per <?Mt of the vehi
cles thalfc use th^m. What the future
will be of the hard road and the
hci^Vy .' load is anybody?s guess yet.

Editor .Brevard News:
& Eastern North Carolina at this
Easter season, the moc^g bird is
naaking woodland gay with his
melodies; the maple trees are decor
ated with a crimson hue, attracting
to their branches the squirrel which,
in turn, is an attraction for the sport-
man; while yellow jessamine, golden
bells, hyacinths, yiblets, bridal
wreaths, japonlcas, and a host of
other flowers decorate field and for
est and pocosin. This is decidedly
the most beautiful time of the year
in' this section of the state. In
beauty, however, it does not approach
the scenery of the autumn forests of
Tr^sylvania with-their hues of yel
low and brown and green and red
and purple and gold.
While the “Old State of Robeson”
has donned its Easter bonnet and her
progressive farmers are making very
rapid progress in their com planting
and preparations for large fields of
cotton and tobacco, the political
theatre is exhibiting “moving pic
tures” of various degrees of inter*
est and value.
The democratic county convention
of Robeson, which was held at Lum-
berton last Saturday, was said to
have been more largely attended
than an^ other convention held in
this county for many years. It was.
composed of a fine body of men and
was an enthuiastic and harmonious
assembly. This county is entitled to
• t ’ -n'
twenty votes in the state convention.
The county convention however elec
ted forty delegates, giving each one
the power to cast one-half vote in
the State convention. T. A. McNeill,
Jr., chairman of the county demo
cratic committee, was endorsed as a
district delegate to the national
democratic convention at San Fran
cisco.
North Carolina seems to be “loom
ing large in the public eye” just now
because of the fact that she will, in
all probability, have the opportunity
of casting the deciding vote in the
ratification of the constitutional
amendment, giving to the women of
the nation the right to vote on equal
terms with men. However, some
other st^te may fall into line as the
36th and thus wrest from the Old
North State the coveted laurel be
fore the extra session of our Assem
bly meets and, consequently, before
our representetives ,will have an op^
portunity to vote for ratification,
thus preventing our state’s being
placed on the honor roll until after
the amendment has become a part
of our fundamental law.
We were interested in the an
nouncement last week of the nego
tiations for the sale of the News,
and we are anxious for the paper this
week, which we were assured, will
give the account of the sale and the
name of the purchaser. We wish
for the paper a long life and a con
tinued successful career. May it, in
the future as in the past, advocate
the principals which will instill into
the minds of the bojrs and girls in the
homes where it is read, high ideals,
of government of the people, by the
people, for the people, and advance
ment among all the people indus
trially, socially, morally and educa
tionally. Long live the NEWS!

A good news paper can do
to build up a community, but a paper .
cannot be run and run sueeess!f|4br^^
without the cp-op»ation of^'the
pie among whom it circulates.
I have purchased the Brwavd Newa
and am going to giy^ to tbe^ pe<^e|
of Transylvania County an INDEU
PENDANT NEWS PAPER.
The paper will be run for the pur*
pose of giving to the l^ple of oixt
County all tile local news and of I3i#
general news which can be secured*
The Editorial policy of this papei^
will be entirely devoted to the up*
building of the County and to tho
discussion of matters that effect the
true prosperity and happiness ef the
citizens of our County.
Partisan political articles will be
published only as advertisments, but
no scurrlous or mud slinging articles
will be accepted for puUication from
any party or person.
I ask the people of the County td
assist in making the Brevard News
the best weekly paper in North Car-
olina. t
I will want correspondents in every
locality in the county to iMnd us tiie
local news as the paper is intended*"
to serve one part of the County as
much as another.
There will be articles by .tiie lead*
ing citizens on Educadon^; farming^
stock raising, lumber and timber busi
ness and on every subject that will
tend to benefit our people and
build our County.—
Any sug^^estions will be gladly re*
ceived,* and I want every person ia
the County to understand that th»
columns of the Brevard News are’
open to the discussion of an;^mea«
sure of general interest.
The time is past for narrow parti*
san news papers, and you will find
that this paper will run in a broad
minded manner, without fea» or
favor, and with the sole object o£
building up Transylvania (bounty
from one end to the other.
Wm. A. Band, having leased thei
plant, will be in charge of the paper
and of the job departmen, and I will
bespeak your hearty supjport, and
also ask that you do what you
can to make the Brevard News
a true exponent of all that is good
for^the County in which vn live and-
for the people who are our frienda
and neighbors.
