WHITE WAY IS m tN m TUESDAY m SYSTEM INSTALLED BY H. E. NORWOOD Within four months after ?.ne passing of a resolution by t-'f Retail Merchants Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce declar <? in; the need of a White Way syitem, Brevard is tbe possessor of four block* of ornamental White Way lighting of the most modern type. Tuesday night tests w ro made on the t-w?|.ve t.cO candle power lights which" ?.?.ere .vompletely installed, and th.-.-e were found to work perfectly. I The work on the "'remaining ? lights will be completed at or. -e and the entire system will be pU;:-ed in use , this week, A time switch :vt tho corner of; Main and CaHwell street , automatically outs the. jsji'stem on at | an early hour in the evening and then will cut it off at midnight. Owing -to the low water at thi power plant the system was' cut ri; rt 4"? .o'clock Tuesday night. The White Way representing an | expenditure of aproxima 'ly $5;0G0, I extends, on Main, street t'om Eng land to (iaston and or. Broad from ; Main ?o Jordan. The equipment in stalled includes thirty W.' tinghouse j ?jr,j:> ?f the m?>st niod >n type, j They are placet! along the curb line \ oT.e hundred feet apart.. :jnd directly acr< ?s the street from each other. The wiring and conduits are under- i ?rround an?l the standards set in con- ; cret'e.. ' : y '? j Tuesday night when the White Way was christened Brevard was at j its best. Two finished products of j progress of the year greeted the ! hundreds of tourists on Main street. ' The Band rendering a concert in the stand and the handsome lighting ?ys- ?; tem presented a beautiful scene. I Brevard's white way system came , as a direct result of a resolution ! adopted March 30 by the Retail Merchants Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce. The merchants, after discussing the proposal f?r, the in stallation of the system, adopted a resolution requesting the board of aldermen to make the installation, i The hoard voted April 1<> to mane ^ the installation and signed a con- ; tract with the We.stinghouse Electric! and Manufacturing company for the , equipment necessary. Bids for the , installation of the equipment were then called for artd ? the contract awarded to Harold Norwood, elec trical contractor. Upon the arrival of material the worK was begun and has been completed by Mr. Norwood in a comparatively short time. It is expected that cement paving on the <jdewalks along Main and Broad street will" follow close on the heels of the -White way. as petitions, asking that this be done were pre sented to the board of aldermen some time ago.

FLA. MA NADDRESSFS CM1UBER COMMERCE CO-OPERATION WITH CHAMBER IS URGED Brevard has an opportunity re become, one of the leading resort towns of Western \orth Carolina within the next year or two. accord ing to W; G. Shepherd, prominent attorney of Fort Myers. Fla., and former president of Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Shepherd, speaking Tuesday, evening before the Board of Direc-, tors of the Thamber of Commerce urged the citizens of Brevard to get behind the Chamber of Commerce and give it their earnest and loya! . support. In the course of hi? re-, marks ^lr. Shepherd declared that j Brevard has made wonderful strides ! within the past few months, and that her destiny is uncommonly bright for the future. Mr. Shepherd commended the or-( gani7.ation and its officers and di-i rectors for the splendid progress whi-h ha- been made during the past six months as evidenced by the semi annual report made public last Tuesday night. Mr. Shepherd urged that every effort be made to con struct a golf course at the earliest j possible date, declaring that thi*7 was one of the most essential features of any resort town. A spirit of friendly cooperation among the. citizens of the town, and especially cooperation by the mem bers with the program undertaken by the Chamber of Commerce is ab solutely necessary if Brevard is go ing to grow and prosper, declared Mr. Shepherd. Mr. Shepherd Com nlimented the organization most hi'rhlv upon the splendid horse show They Are Here A survey made one clay this week of the automobile license tags, as shown on the cars parked along Main street and on Broad street, Brevard's two main busi ness thoroughfares, revealed the fact that thirteeh States art' now represent"'! among Brevard's tourists. The -.iiany tags were varied in eolor and design, and represented the following States: .Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, New York. Virginia. West Vir ginia, Oklahoma, Lcuisana, Ar kansas, Mississrppi. Ohio, Ten::. see and Georgia, in addition " the almost countless numbers o? North Carolina cars. With r'.io exception of North Carolina cars, j Florida was decidedly in the lead.

John Saunders, of V- w Orleans, and Ernest Kint;. of Charleston, heard the excitn.* ut and appeared just in time to as? sr. in bringing the girl to shore. The boys worked gallantly on their res cued parties, one of whom v. a- un conscious when brought to shore. The two ladies who witnesed the tragic scene assisted by driving the two girls to their home. The :.v?. sisters revived from thei.- narrow ? : cape within a short time after th< accident. This heroic scene was one in which the actors were all so \ounu that they would be astonished ti. know that the act of courage and daring was anything more than an adventure with a thrill in it. The two Charlestonian rescuers are b'-ih lads of only 14 years. They are both deserving of Carnegie medal:", 'and it is thought quite probable that the young heroes will be rewarded with such honors. which was staged last Saturday. and declared that the. Chamber of Com merce is moving in the right dir- ?? tion when it undertakes to provid. recreational and entertainment f:? 'cilites for the summer visitors here. Mr. Shepherd has been coming to Brevard fo- several seasons, and is stopping r.t the Franklin Hotel.
