HOPE TO K.F.EP CASH MARKET
IN FULL OPERATION HEP.r.
County Assured of Town's Coopera
tion in Saving the Monr ?
Meeting Last Saturdr
"Citizens from various .sections of
the county met in the Chamber of
Commerce room last Saturday morn
inn: to prove their holdings in the
Y and I> corporation. They employed
Wm. E. Breese to represent them,
and. ordered that he proceed to call
upon J. A. Yarbrough to make ev
ery effort necessary m the protection
of Transylvania citizens who sub
scribed t ? and paid for shares in the
Y and B corporation, commonly
known as the Brevard Produce and
Creamery company.
In the m ating, it was the concen
sus of opinion that a cash .market
in Brevard for the produce of the
farmers was one of , the greatest
things that had ever been established
in the county, and the only criti
cism offered was the method em
ployed by the Y and B Corporation.
Business men of Brevard, recog-i
iiizing the fact that it -was upon
their recommendation that farmers
of the county took stock in and sub
scribed to the Y and B, expressed
their intention of seeing to it' that
no citizen of thb county should lose
one penny as a result of the activ
ities of the Y and B corporation. ,
The cash market is looked upon by
those who are Constantly studying !
the interests of the county as one of
the greatest assets that Transylvania
has ever enjoyed. Regardless of the '
result of the Y and B proposition,
it is proposed and determined by
those who placed their money and
their faith in the cash market that
such an institution shall remain as ?
the county's greatest asset.
It was the expressed wish of those
who met in the Chamber of Com
merce that Mr. J. A. Yarbrough j
either be forced to refund to this<
county the amount of money the
people had put into the corporation,
or else b2 placed. if possible, in the
pentitentiary at Atlanta. In the best
of faith upon the representation of |
the Y and B, the people of .his coun- j
ty placed their money in the cor- !
poratiou, and nothing " less than a I
complete refund of that money,
which can be placed in a perpetual
market here under the direction of
a man in whom the county has the
utmost confidence, or the incarcera
tion in the Federal penitentiary at
Atlanta, will satisfy the honest cit- j
izens who put their money in the
Y and B corporation.
Taking the lead in such group are
the bankers, the business men and .
officials of Transylvania county, j
who pronounced the Y and B as a
good company and worthy of the
.confidence of the people of the
county. The Brevard business men, :
who lent their names and their in- 1
fluence to the promulgation of the
local concern, are not to be ap- J
peased by any verdict of the court J
which will refund 25 or 30 cents on
the dollar. It seems to be thyt the
amount of money involved is not
the thine: which concerns such lead
ers in the county so much as the i
confidence of the people of the
coun'v* who bought stock in the Y
and B simply because their friends,
the bankers and the business men of
Brevard, said that the stock was j
good.
Wm. E. Breese is in Charlotte for i
the purpose of bringing back to this
county the money that was invested j
in the Y and B corporation. If the i
Messrs Yarbrough and associates:
fail to take up this stock that they I
sold in Transylvania county, it is a |
foregone conclusion that criminal |
proceedings will be instituted im- '
mediately against the men who so- i
licited, "received and receipted for
stock sold in Transylvania county. !
TWO FORDS COLLIDE j
ON CALDWELL ST.!
Collision of two Ford cars Satur- '
day morning at the intersection of
, Caldwell and Jordan streets re
sulted in painful bruises to Mrs.
Sam Allison, driver of the Ford
coupe, and a badly shaken-up con
dition of Mr. Mottsman, driver of
the Ford touring car. The j/ir of
the collision caused Mrs. Allison's
car to whirl around in the opposite
direction in which it was goiner, then
turno^ over on its side, with the
driver closed in the car. Mr. Motts
man's car was thrown onto an em
bankment nt the side of the street,
and both cars were considerably
damaged, though fortunately no
glass in the coupe was broken.
Mrs. Allison had just crnnked her
car in front of Mrs. McMinn's resi
dence and was starting north on
Caldwell street, when the Mottsman
car. going cast on Jordan street, re
cultfrt i*> sop-<- mnnn<-r. in a collis
ion of the two ears. Witnesses of
the accident were heard to express
the opinion that warning signs of
some naturi' ??_?'.? l>o placed at
this interr <?'!'?< '???}? d"<iirnning
the fact that <*i>|dw>'M street is the
