An enthusiastic audience which fil led the Hijjh School auditorium was pects of another ten-story office build- kept in constant uproar at the presen- ‘ing in the near future. It is to a- dorn a beautiful site at the southeast corner of West Harjjet and South Sal isbury streets and will be known as the Odd Fellows Building. This site is the property of the two local lodges and the new building will be owned ) jointly by them. Raleigh is very much in need of office facilities and this building will meet present needs in a commercial way and provide ad ditional store space besides. It is estimated that the tcn stories will accommodate a total of 105 offices, exclusive of store rooms on the first floor. And a handsome lodge room on the tenth story. The building will be of modern fire proof con.struction with steel columns, concrete slabs and tile partitions. The stairways will be enclosed with fire proof partitions and fire proof doors, and lavratories will be conveniently placed all over the biulding. The ex terior is to bo of limestone for the lower stories, with faced brick above, up to the ninth floor. The ninth and tenth stories will be completed in Roman Corynthian pilasters with an entablature of ornamental brackets. When completed, the lodge room on the tenth floor will be best appointed in the South. It is believed that the Grand Lodge of the Order will, on the completion of this magnificent temple, discon tinue its pilgrimages annually over the State and select Raleigh as the permanent meeting place. The office of the Grand Secretary has been loca ted here for many years and Will most assuredly fin^ permanent quarters in the new building, which will be f" f the most beautiful and w’ell appo’ '.U-l office buildings to be found anywhere in this section of the country. Daniels Starts Campaign The Democratic campaign in the State is beginning to gather force. The latest speaker to take the fielj is Editor Josephus Daniels, of the News and Observer, who opened the ball for the Catawba democrats at Hick ory on Friday. During the eight years Mr. Daniels served as Secretary of the Navy he learne(j a lot of things which the folks are going to know about before the campaign is over, if he keeps on talking. This is the wa^; he summed up the record of the pre sent congress in his speech at Hickory 1. It gave tax revision for the buc caneers. 2. It gave a tariff for the profiteers. 3. It approved Senate seats for the auctioneers. 4. It promises a shiii subsidy; alfo, for the profiteers. The Democratic Handbook has been completed. It contains a complete review of the activities of State de partments and outlines these four pol icies for the party as a national or ganization ; 1.

Charles C. bnnm returned on Thursday September 21 from Raleigh where he and many Baptist leaders from all over North Carolina met with the Baptist State Mission Boar^ at the call of the great secretary Rev. Dr. Charles E. Maddry, for the pur pose of launching the Re-enforce- ment Campaign of the 75 Million Campaign made three years ago when Southern Baptists subscribed ninety-two million dollars. Despite the stringency of the times the work of Baptists all along the lines has been greatly advanced, and the work in all departments has been vastly enlarged. The contributions for both home and missionary pur poses have increased by more than morty-three millions dollars for the past three years—the poriod of the Campign—than for the preceeding three years. The results, also, have been large ly increased. More than nine mil- cate^j cootie and a bollweevil was re-; dollars have been added to the sponsible for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. “Beat it or the bug will get you.” BREVARD HIGH SCHOOL NOTES The Brevard High School opening has been most au^spicious. .\t the end of the first month, there is an enrollment of 587, with 114 of these in the high school proper. Out of the 19 in the faculty, 8 are in our school for the first time. They, as w'ell as the others, have begun their work in a most satisfactory manner.

We need to care but for tw'o things, that we do always our best and that we do what we do through love for Christ. If we are faithful up to the measure of our ability and opportun ity, and if love sanctifies what we do, we are sure of our Saviour’s ap proval. We are to maintain an un ruffled calm and all the tendernesses and simplicity of the heart of a little child at all times. A prayer for ministers of religion, that all may pray and v/hich I hope all will: Almighty God, our Heavenly Fath er, we bless Thee for those Thou hast set apart to minister in spirit ual things. Give them an unction from the Holy One that they may speak the truth in love. Put within them the spirit of prophet and seer, that, in the presence of evil or wrong, in the society of the individual, they may cry aloud and spare not. Grant that they may so proclaim Thy word that the careless may be arrested, the sorrowing comforted, the tempted made strong, the weary and heavy laden refreshed. Bless Thy servants as they break the Bread of Life among Thy peo ple, whether in the ministrations of Thy House, or in private intercour.-o with those who seek their help. Be with them in hours of despondency, when heart and flesh fail be Thou the strength of their hearts and their portion forever. Keep alivo within them the fires of faith and courage that they may never despair of the world or of themselves. May the.v be willing to bear the reproach of Christ and ever to be counted fools for Ilis sake, if only they may win some souls for truth and goodness. Consecrate them to a divine simplicity of purpose that, renouncing all earthly prizes and am bitions they may discover with glad hearts Thy call to work with Theo for the redemption of the world. And this work let them find their all sufficient rew'ard, in Christ’s name we ask it, Amen. C. D. C. RESOLUTIONS OF REQUEST BY BREVARD PASTORS’ CONFERENCE Mrs. H. E.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NEWS: RUBE LEWIS INJURED. BREVARD iNSTnUTE R.R.FISBER Whereas, there is such a multipli city of notices and announcements that are sent to the churches almost every Sunday with the request that they be made to the congregations by the pastors; And, w'hereas, the most of these announcements have nothing to do with the various churches in our com munity, and take up quite a good deal of time, thereby tending to lengthen the services and to worry the congrgation with the tediousness of details; And whereas, the various congre gations in the community that usually ask that these announcements be made have the same access to pub licity that the churches have, namely, their own members and the local pa per; Be it resolved by the Brevard par- tor.s’ Conferen -e in <h-?ir 'p-' meeting on October third, 1922, tlint the general public take the above facts into consideration and send just as few notices as possible to the churches, and to remember that the majority of such notices sent in in terest only a comparatively few, and that is not just fair to cause many others to have their time taken up by things that do not interest them. Be it resolved further, that we re quest that all notices sent to the pas- i toi*s for public announcement be only I such as are of general public inter ' est. Regu'ar services will be held in the Presbyterian church on next Sunday at 11 A. M. and 7 .30 P. M. Rev. John R. Hay, who has been iway at Presbytery in Dillingham, N. , vnll return before Sunday and will rreach at both Kerv'cos. Accidents will happen occasionally in spi^ ? of all the chalk lines in thv! world, as vras proved Monday morn ing at the square, when Mr. Marshall .

THE TRANSYLVANIA BAPTIST ASSOCIATION WILL MEET NEXT WEEK WITH Pisgah Forest Baptist Church — A Three - Days Session. The forty-first annual session of the Transylvania Baptist Association will be held next week with the Bap tist church of Pisgah Forest, of which Rev. E. G. Ledford is pastor. The body will be called to order at 11:00 A. iVl.^ on Wedn_..day, October 11th, -ind will, after short devotional exer- o'f-e.^, by the moderator. Rev. S. B McCall, proceed at once to organize itself by the enrollment of delec,ate? and the election of officers for the coming year, and to serve during the session next week. After organizing, the annual intro ductory sermon will be preached b;. Rev. A. J. Manley, or the alternate Rev. S. B. McCall, and after that the body will give itself to the consider ation of the work that it will have tc do. It is felt that the churches of the association have had quite a good year during the past twelve months; many of them have had large numbers of baptisms, and perhaps the amounts of money raised will total larger than any preceding year. ,The churches have had internal peace and harmony, with the notable exception of Mt. FOR CONGRESS REPRESENTATIVE GIVES INTER VIEW IN WHICH HE STATES PLATFORM Moriah, which is divided into two i universities. Mr. Ralph Fisher, candidate for congress, recently returned from Ra leigh and Durham, where he conferr ed with Hon. W, H. Branham, chair man of the Republican State exe cutive committee, and other political leaders, in regard to his campaign in the Tenth District. After consultng with the republi can congressional committee, Mr. Fisher states he has offered through Lewis P. Hamlin, chairman of the republican congressional committee, to meet in joint debate any of his opponents on the stump in any coun ty in the district. He will take the position in the coming campaign, he further states, "h.'it nulp products, extracts, acid.^i and other wood products, as well as mica and corundum, will be placed on the protective tariff list, if he is +o congress. Mr. Fisher claims the distinction of be .11. v/.i -J DucK-pnvate in the United States running for Congress, having enlisted in the war in 1917, <Toing at once to France, where he spent many months, he asserted and returned to Brevard in the summer of 1919 to take up the practice of law in this community. He was the first^Post Commander of the American Legion, Pisgah Post ^88, and in 1920 was elected to Legis lature from Transylvania County, and was nominated for Congress in the June Primaries, over Major R. W, S. Pegram, by a large majority. Mr. Fisher is 30 years old, the sort of Dr. W. C. Fisher, deceased, who was formerly of this county. Being left, at 12 years of age, by the death of his father, to make his own way, he asserted he worked at common lab or for 12 years, being a brakeman on a logging train, section hand, felling timber, driving oxen in lumber dis tricts of this county and later became brakeman on the Southern Railroad. Education came to him through ap plication at odd hours and irregular terms of school ho stated. He re ceived his Law License from Wake Forest College in 1917. He also- spent short periods , at Colombus In stitute, Mars Hill College and other factions. Because of the division it has been feared that some trouble will be created at the association as to seating the delegates; but it is not generally felt that there will be among both of these factions' a sufficient spirit of peace and the desire for harmony in the body; and enough wise head members of the associa tion, to keep down any disciission of this matter and to bring about a satis factory adjustment of th« situation at least as far as this meeting of the association is concerned.’ The Executive Committee of the body is going to recommend one im portant change, and that is that in the future the association meet one month later; that is, on Tuesday or Wedne&May aftei^ the second Sunday in November instead of October, as at present. This recommendation will be made to conform to the action of the state convention of last year, which, beginning this year, meets in rec:'irl'‘'r ad of November; anu this will make the fiscal year of the association more nearly conform to those of the convention. The later date will also give one more fall month before the meeting of the as sociation for the collection ^ of mis sion and current fund pledges. It is expected that the attendance, this year will be larger than fo many year?, as the meeting placu is very central, and some of the churche? v.hich have not in recent years been co-operating with the association have decided to take up again active af filiation with the body It is also hoped that some of the secretaries from Raleigh will attend this session though that is as yet not definitely known. “In the Land of Waterfalls” Mrs. May B. Gordon, who has beer the guest of her sisters Mrs. Witmer and Mrs. Wallis for several month left early in the week for Washing ton, D. C. Jlrs. Gordon was accom panied by little Miss Matilda Carl- ' ledge whose parents, Dr. and Mrs. G ' H. Cartledge left by motor last woek. Rev. W. H. Seaglc spent Friday in Asheville. Mr. Fisher states he is out for Con gress and loves a fight.
