In response Lieutenant Governor Joseph B. Johnson, Barium Springs, N. C.. said the delegates could de pend upon the sincerity of Charles- j toe's welcome and praised Charles ton as being the "mother of all American history."' * The first day cf the convention was featured with the disposition of a cumber of routine matters and a banquet Thursday evening at which John H. Moss- of Milwaukee, past president of the International, was principal speaker. Several impromptu addresses were also made by men prom inent in Kiwaiti.s, nationally and in :he Carolinas district.

BREVARD GIVEN BOOST ON TRIP I liei-if; tnl to the trip to Charles- j ton iii a:tendancc upon the Kiwanis | convention of the Carolinas district, much favorable publictiy was given Brevard by the local Kiwanians. The Brcvar i Scenic film was exhibited in the Garden theatre in Charleston on Thursday. Friday and Saturday nights. The arrangements for show ing the picture were made through the courtesy of J. Gilmore Smith, presidtri* of the Charleston Board of Tr.vje' with the Pastime Amuse ment company, operating the largest theatre* :n Charleston and other citiVv The management of the the atres i' -re highly pleased with the way which the Brevard picture was received by their patrons and asked that the film be left in Char leston after the close of the conven tion in order that more people inter ested :r. Brevard as a tourist town might see pictured on the screen the ?? i-'.v- that are so attractive to many v'harlestonians. i- addition, Glad-Hand signs were I o-te : all along the highway from Charleston to Laurens, pointing to Brevard. Immediately out of Char leston signs were posted at intervals of five miles on either side of the road. Further along the highway the distance between the signs was in creased until Columbia was reached. From that point approximately the same method of posting signs was employed and from Charleston to Laurens the road was posted on an average of every fifteen miles. In addition to the exhibition of the scenic film in Charleston and posting signs along the highway, fre quent calls were made at chambers of commerce and filling stations along the route where Brevard book lets were left for distribution to those interested in mountain vaca tion trips. At almost all places Bre vard was favorably known and many of those who were interviewed in dicated a willingness to assist in dis tributing publicity material of "The Land of Waterfalls." It is the intention of Kiwanians to pick up the trail of posted signs at Laurens in the near future and con tinue the work through to Brevard via Pickens and Rosman and later, when the Caesar's Head road is com pleted. GAVE CHESTNUTS TO ALL KIWANIANS Distributing two and one-half bushels ol' selected chestnuts at the Charleston Kiwanis convention,, the Brevard Kiwanis club created much favorabli comment, both as to the quality of the fruit and the spirit of the local club in distributing the chestnuts. These were placed in 300 bags, and labeled: "Compliments of the Brevard Kiwanis Club." The bags of chestnuts were placed on a table at registration headquarters, where eager hands quickly took them up. All visiting Kiwanians were im pressed with the warm welcome that was extended by the citizens of Charleston. This was particularly no ticeable when the Charleston ladies entertained the visiting ladies on a tour of the interesting and historic places about the city, ending with a delightful tea at the Charleston Country club. Favorable expressions were to be heard on every hand con j cerning the rapid progress that is being made by the civic institutions of Charleston in the tourist and Who said THANKSGIVING?

Harvey Stanberry closed the revival meeting at Mt. Moriah Bap tist church last Sunday night, hav ing "carried on" for ten days at the Cherryfield center. Members of the church there were highly pleased with the success of the meeting, which was pronounced god by all who were heard to express themselves on the revival campaign. At a meeting of the deacons of the church Sunday morning, plans were started for enlargement upon j the regular work there. Heretofore preaching services have been held but once each month. The Sunday school, Baraca class and the B. Y. P. U. have been meeting more often, doing much of the church work. It is believed Mt. Moriah will become a regular charge now, with a full time pastor. First need in the new work being a parsonage, the members were de lighted with an offer from Mr. Hen ry Gillespie of six acres of land for the parsonage site. Immediately Mr. J. L. Whitmire of the Pisgah Bank, offered to give the lumber necessary for the building of the parsonage. Other members assured the deacons that sufficient funds would be forth coming to erect the building and put it in shape for a pastor. At the Sunday night services a free will offering was made to Rev. Mr. Stanberry, and a purse of $190 was presented to the evangelist. It was a splendid offering, and Mr. Stanberry, in deeply moved manner, thanked the people of Cherryfield, assuring them that the funds would be used in continuation of his evan gelistical wcrk in other sections of the country. T. W. Whitmire, of Brevard, made a strong appeal for the support of Mr. Stanberry in the great work he is doing. Mrs. Stanberry and daughter, Miss Alma, worked with the evangelist in the meetings, rendering him great assistance, as they do in all his work.

TRANSYLVANIA GOT THREE FIRST PRIZES (continued from page one) Mr. Duckworth spent considerable money, but tells me that he has re ceived enough business to well' pay him back. That being true, Tran sylvania county has gotten an equal amount of advertising. The people outside are beginning to think of us as a real trucking county, and I hope they are not far wrong. The Latest The latest dope from the New Jersey Experiment Station, is that by adding certain simple minerals to cotton meal, linseed meal, or the corn by-products, that the protein in these is just as good for egg pro duction as meat scraps. The min eral mixture is one pound common salt, three pounds 16 per cent acid, and two pounds ground limestone, like we put on the land. Maks-your feed twenty per cent cotton meal, and five per cent of the mineral mixture. Hens fed this mixture for a year out laid the meat meal ijerl by ten eggs per hen, while tlwsc having cotton meal without tilt; mineral were a hundred eggs short of the meat meal. Best piece <>f poultry news that has come out in years, especially to the South. M"re work needs to be done to furt.'i'-r prove the findings. Latest corr^ reports give us a crop slightly under last year with about one-fourth soft. Same report-, give a shortage in beef and eggs, but heavy in dressed chickens. Does it pay to hog down corn? If you have any doubts about the good profits just ask Mr. C. F. Woodfm of the Penrose section. More later.
