call a meeting of all those who sub- j
scribed to stock in the Y and B Cor- :
poration of Charlotte, to meet at the I

if the holders wish to send an of- .
ficiating representative to the meet
ing in Charlotte on the 16th.

the grounds to speak if occasion
arises.

whether Mr. Yarbrough shall con
tinue to be "receiver."

! ARMISTICE DM
1 heard a cry in the night from a far-flung
host?
From a host that sleep* through the yenri
the last long sleep. .
By the Meuse, by the Marne, in the Ar
gonne's shattered wood,
In a thousand rose-thronged churchyards
through our land.
Sleep! Do they sleep! I know I heard
their cry,
Shrilling along the night like a trumpet
blast:
"We died," they cried, "for a dream. Have
ye forgot?
We dreamed of a world reborn whence
wars had fled,
Where swords were broken in pieces and
guns were rust,
Where the poor dwelt in quiet, the rich in
peace,
And children played in the streets, joyous
and free.
We thought we could sleep contcnt in a
task well done;
But the rumble of guns rolls oyer us, iron
upon iron
Sounds from the forge wjiere are f nahloned
guns anew;
New fleets spring up in new seas, and
under the wave
Stealthy new terrors swarm, with ein*
boweled denth. ^

Or will ye ri;e, wl j are strong, to fulfill

To silence the doma'-.n^'g voice, to crush

crowd new graves?
We coll. we call on the night, will ye hear

In the name of our dead will we hear?
Will we grant them sleep?
The poem Is by William E. Brooks, and
can be found in an anthology, "The New
Patriotism," edited by Thomas Curtis Clarh
and Esther A. Gillespie. It is a fitting mes
sage for the season of loving and admiring
recollection which finds its culminating ob
sej-vsnce on Armistice day.

Large Number of Petitions and Many
4 Farmers Urge I hat Work

WH1TMIRE UNABLE TO
ATTEND THE SESSIONS
County To Loan Baptist Church
$7000 From Sinking Fund? ^
Other Matters
Quite a. large delimit ion of farm
ers, officials and representatives of
the Chamber of Commerce met with
the county commissioners Monday to
urge that body to maintain the of
fice of county farm agent in the fu
ture. Several months ago the com
missioners abolished this office to
become effective December 1. Pe
titions have be. 11 circulated freely
over the county, urging the commis
sioners to rescind that order and
keep the office functioning.
On account of the serious illness
of Mr. Jordan Whitmire, who could
not attend the meeting on Monday,
and the other four members of the ]
board seemed to be equally divided
on the question of the farm agent,
so final action was postponed un- 1
til the first Monday in December,
when it is hoped the full board Will
be pres.nt.
It was pointed out by advocates
of the arm agent's work that it is j
an essi otial factor to the successful ;
operation of the farms of the '?
county. Agriculture is the county's I
chief asset, and speakers impressed j
upon the board of county commis
sioner.- the great importance of the,
count},- farm agent to the county's 1
chief source of revenue, that is j
farming.
The commissioners accepted the i
new bond of W. B. Henderson, |
county t:!? collector, for the ensuing
year.
Several checks sent to the tax j
collector in payment of the 192(5 j
taxes have bten returned to the col
lector's office, marked insufficient ;
funds. The commissioners ordered j
that the tax collector notify all such
givers of these checks that they have
until 'i ? fifteont of the month in .j
which to make them good, and fail- '
ing to do so, the attorney will pro
ceed to institute action against (
them.
Th.- board completed plan? to
lend ti'e sum of $7000. to ihe Dap- I
fist church to be used in its new
building. This sum conies from the 1
county sinking fund. The new
county government law requires the I
board of commissioners to keep a ,
sinking fund on hand with which to |
meet interest of bonds at maturity, j
The law also requires the commis- '
siohcrs to ktcp the money in this j
smkir.g fund invested in safe places j
on interest.
The matter of making the road j
from Caesar's Head highway to See i
Off camp was discussed, and it was j
' "iU\ \l t" .-scvlain from the Epis- j
i't'f.al church officials and operators,
of th ? camp more information enn- j
Corning the permanency of the camp, j
and the requirements of the camp 1
directors in the connecting link of |
the roadway.

TOWN MAY ACQUIRE
I GOLF COURSE AS A
MUNICIPAL ASSET
(Movement Launched at Meeting of
Board of Aldermen Monday live
ning - ? I' avorable Comment
WOU1.D BE REVENUE
PRODUCING F ROM START
And is Considered Great Advertise
ment for Inducement of Tourists
Coming to the County
Brevard may have its own munici
pal golf course at an early date.
This matter was discussed at
length in the meeting of the board
of aldermen Monday night, offers
having been made, it is said, by
stockholders in the Brevard Country
Club, which will enable the commun
ity to acquire the golf course and
operate it as a municipal course.
Many leading citizens who have been
approached on the subject are em
phatic in their assertions that it
would be one of the wisest, most
progressive, and at tile same time,
one of the best paying things that
the town could do. The plan offers,
it is pointed out, a two-fold benefit
to Brevard ? first, its great adver
tising feature to send out to pros
pective tourists that Brevard has a
municipal golf course, which would
bring more people to this commun
ity than any other one inducement
that could be hold out to them; sec
ond, that it would immediately !>c a
revenue producing asset for the rity.
It is expected that several con
ferences will be held Within the
next few weeks, and the matter
thoroughly discussed and the public
made fully aware of all the details
in the proposed progressive step.
Many other matters of importance
to the town were acted upon, includ
ing action looking to the marking of
the streets of Breyayd, preliminary
to free delivery of mail, which .will
soon become effective here.
