FRIDAY NOV. 4, 1921 No^ 4S / All TRANSYLVANIA TO I^ing Brothers Build Artificial Lake KING BROTHERS BUILD GkEAT DAM — LAKE COVERS NEARLY TWENTY . FIVE ACRES — MARVELOUS CREATION OF THE HUMAN ^RAIN — STUPENDOUS IN ITS GRANDEURt Do you know of Deer Lick Lake? Have you ever seen the place. IProbably very few people hkve ev^r heard of such a place, yet there is such a place only a few miles from Brevard. The representatives of the News were the guests of A. H. King, one aftmeon recently, and motored over to this new, wonderful lake that was completed only a few dayis ago. Mr. King, and his brother S. G. King, have been actively engaged in the constraction of this beautiful lake and na* tioD^l playground for over a year. They have given out for publication very Uttl* information, so Mr. King states, thinking it besi to wait until they really had sometl^g to show before making an announcement to the pub- lie. The party taCt Brevard by motor, turning to the left at Pisgah Forest and following the old Asheville road (Boilston) to a point about half way between Pemoaa and Blantyre bat to the left of the railroad where we dis. •embarked and began the ascent of the mountain on foot. In a few minutes walk we were atanding on top of the mighty dam that impounds the large body of water 'overlooking Deta* Lick Lake. Words, mere words, will not suffice to ia^MTt the wonders mar to draw a pictore of w^at the eye bdiolds. The dam is feciilt in a ravine with two towering mountains on «ther side. It is four kanfd^^^ across the top; one banderd and fifty feet wide at the base and thirty fwt at tke top with a height of sixty feet. I3iousand of yards af :stone and red clay were used in the construction which is circular is shape, the outside curve extending towards the water Aus giv> ing added aitren^h and aecortity to its stdtility. At the bottnai and in the <center ds a large concrete culvert eqa^iped at the upper end with a water gate (operated by a dmft extending t» the water level, whidi if found necessary, permits the draining of the lake. The body of water impounded extends alout a mile long «id half mile wi4e with its greatest depth forty- five feet, just above the dam and slightly to the left will be feund a na tural pBEBnsular extendinjt almost to the tienter of the lake, lliis beauti ful site, an Mr. King states, will be the Incation of the hirge Club House and paviKon that is to S>e erected. There are dozens of nooks and coves around Hhe shore line wbale the panorama of mountain scenery is unsur passed. The natural top^l^raphy of the iSace could not 3am Hwen impro ved iipoK in the seleetinx of the locatian for this lake, park and tourist playground. Another na^ral advantage 'that nature has afiarded is the beaatifai building sites t» be found aroaad the shore line. It is the inten- tK|| of €he owners to ci^ up the lake fv»unt into lots far bimgalows and cotlages. In view of the itfact that thousands of dollars wifl W spent in the erectinntof club house, pavilion, boat house, bathing beach and other fea tures, adth the lake alraady stocked with trout, will make ^wse lots very desiraMe. In addition to thisthere is o^’er a thousand acres of hunting frround where you wiH lind deer, wild ttsirkey, fox and a few bears. But this is iBot all. The owners have left no .stone unturned iSiitt would add ta the denrability of the jpSace as a Eumsner resort. Just helmvr the dam a modem .up-to-date eledaic power plant will be erected theaeby using the vast warer.power made possible by the oanstruction of the lake. Pure run- ni^ w^r wtll be suppSfed from a gravi^ line extending ®pion the moun tain side. Also a sewemge system will t>e installed insuring perfect sani- *;batian. This will afford :all of the advaaftages of a city wifliout the dis- advaittsKes. At flie foot of the gaeat dam are located two springs, <ane of perfect water, pure, clnar, cool and sparkling mountain water.

Laeile Clarlw Trik of tho Women*t Part la the War — Gives Defin ition of Armistice Day. To women of Transylvania county: As Home Demonstration Agent of Transylvania County I have been asked to extend a special invitation to the women and girls of the county to come to Brevard on the 11th of November, being Armistice day. We are very anxious that you take advantage of this the day of all days in Brevard. It is for the sons of j the mothers of this county that we | plan this memorial. To those, who i sacrificed so much for us we want to, do honor on this great day. Noth., ing will be more aippreciated by these ’ heroes of war than for their mothers, wives, and friends to participate in the feast that is being spread for them at the county seat. It was the women who made a great sacrifice in sending their men to war. Not only that but you worn en of the county labored unceasingly in every work that tended to encour age or support our ^en at the front, Y«ar hands made bandages and gar ments in the Red Cross; knitted socks and sweaters for the dear one’s comfort; conserved the fruits and | vegetables that our allies might be ' fed and in many cases worked in. garden or field for tSie same unsel- %sh purpose. Therefore it is you equally with anr brave soldiers and sailors that Brevard would honor on this day. The invitation is especiafty to the -women of this coaaty to Icacve their cares at home and forget fliem in a day of ThanloQTviag, rejekiing, anfl I feasting with yoar friends and fellow j citizens at the County seat. j j Come one, came alli laing eveacy-' [one from grandmother and grani- I father down to the little ones. || Every man, woman, and child, is not only invited Vut urged to 'be We- i: sent. (Signed:) LtlCTLE CLARKE, A Hollow’een party was given on Saturday night, in the Auditorium, by the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A»s. Miss Pike, director. The usual spook and witches stunts were very amusingly carried out and a number of very fetching tobleaux were most success, fully staged. The scene of hilarity was very fittingly brought to a close by the serving of extremely appro priate refreshments, and everybody felt that the occasion was a complete success. Last Friday night, a reel entitled **The Old Swimming Hole" was run by Verne Clement on our olvn mevie machine. It was a very good show and was thoroughly enjoyed by all the students and faculty. This is th9 second picture we have run since school opened. The Rev. A. S. Raper and Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Trowbridge were guests of the Institute on Sunday. Mr. Raper deliveiM his farewell sermon to the student - body, at the Sunday night service in the Auditorium Chapel, and gave a most interesting and helpful telk. jBREVARD ost To Entire Count) JUST A WORD FROM REV.

Magnificent Parade**National Speakers Good Music-Religious Services Old Time E^becue The “Armistice Day** celebration at brevard on Friday November 11th, when the town will be the host of the entire county, pronuses to be the greatest and most g^igantic event ever undertaken in the history of the county. The program, which is being prepared under the supervision of Jos. S. Silversteen, assisted by R. H. Zachary and Thos. H. Shipman, will contoin among many other notable features, a monster parade, large brass band a speaker of national fame and last, but not least, a big old-time barbecue. The entire population of the town are enthusiastic in their de- terjnination to make this day the greatest in the history of the town, and to give the guests, the entire county, a royal welcome, good music by a brass band, patriotic speaking and last, but not least, a feed that will sur pass in quality, quantity and variety anything ever heretofore undertaken. The News hasTirged the celebration of this day for a good many weeks and the Brevard Club at their regular monthly meeting in, October started the “fireworks,” as is characteristic of this organization, by voting to have a big day and inviting all of the out-of-town people to be our guests. The committee mentioned above immediately got busy by calling a meeting of the executive heads of all the organizations in the town, such as public and private schools, fraternal orders, womans clubs and business men, I .Vao all the minlBters. One conspicious and significent part of the ass«»“ blage was the large number of ladies that responded to the call. Mr. &1- vorsteen, ihe chairman, (wise old bird that he is) knew that it would take the cooperation of the “Women folks’* to pall off an event of this magni tude. Mrs. Norwood made an interesting but brief talk on tha importance and necessity of decorating the town on this day. Every house, both public and private, will be expected to display national and state patriotic colors on this day. The absence on a house of any deroration will be construed by the public as hostile expressions of the day by those who live within. The people of Brevard should heed this timely warning and prepaye now to de corate their homes and places of business. Those whi^-njade short talks and gave helpful suggestions were, Mrs. Silversteen, Miss Clark, Mrs. Seagle^.. M'ls Pike, Miss Baber, Miss Tyner, Mrs. Riley, Mrs. Breese, Rev. C. C.SmitK . T. H. Shipman, W. E. Breee, R. H. Zachary, Prof. Mitchell, J. M. Allison,, W. A. Band, O. H. Orr and H. C. Ranson. . The big monster parade alone will be worth the trouble and expense of the people of the county who will journey to Brevard on this day. The - parade will be headed by a band it is hoped, followed by the ex-service men in uniform, all the pupils and faculty of the private and public schools of the city and county, hundreds of pretty floats, clubs and fraternal orders, attractively decorated automobiles and conveyances of all kinds. The ex act time of the parade has not been announced but the line of march will inchide all of the principle streets. Another treat in store for those who come wiH be the patriotic address by a speaker of national fame, probably. Jos, Daniels, *T. W. Bickett or Gov. Morrison. The speaking will be in the open acnless the weather prevents. Next on the program comes the big .bnrberne under the direct supervision of the famous chef W. E. Breese. Two experienced cooks teve been imported for this occasion while many • steen, slmep and hogs will be donated and ordered butehered a&d prepar« ■ ed ito lie oaoked whole. The baae-ball park will be used for the feed andri already men are diggmg the pits and preparing temporary shelter lii cai< of miin. The business ^uses of the town have kindly consent^ to remain open duimg the greator part of the . day so that those who coma may have an opportunity to do ^ir fading and buy what things t^iey need. Pntf. MitchcU, tlw county superintendent of schools, states that he 3ms invited all the s<3bo1s who do not have exercises of their own to come.
