name directors IN CITIZENS LEAGUE Next Meeting To Be Held Sat urday Afternoon, Aug. 11 MEMBERSHIP ROLL TO BE THEN OPENED ?Re-states Purpose of Organiza tion ? ? Pledges Support to All Directors have been named for the recently organized Citizens and Tax Payers League, and the organization is now preparing to enter upon its program ol work. In a letter being mailed by President Galloway to Uie citizens over the county, word is given of the next meeting, which is to be 'held next Saturday,. August 11- The letter explains the purpose of the meeting, and .follows The Letter. The incorporators of the League have named the board of directors, consisting of fifteen in number, as provided for in the constitution and by-laws, five of whom will serve for a period of one year, five for a pe riod of two years and five for the a period of three years. The follow ing were named as directors: . "L. B. Hjiynes, W. II. Harris, O. H. Orr, Dr<-<r. H. McLean, Prank Mc CailfJi W . Glazener, L. R. Scruggs, ' U. G. Reeves, O. L. Erwin, T. A. English, W. R. Kilpatrick, F. B. Carr, l w (V BendletOn, Frank Jenkins, and ] M. W. Galloway. "A meeting of the League will he held at the court house on Saturday, I August 11, at 2 o'clock in the after- ? noon, and it is requested that all the ] directors above named be present, if 1 possible. The membership roll will then be formally opened for. the en rollment of members, and I will say further that any tax payer of- the county, either man or woman, who desires to become a member of the League can do so by sending in your- 1 name and address, together with the ; annual membership fee of fifty cents, to R. Y. Neel, secretary, Brevard, N. C.. who will enroll you as a member. ; . .We believe that the League should have the backing of the entire I citizenship of the county in its efforts' to accomplish what has heretofore been set forth through The Brevard News as the League's aims and por- 1 poses. To Axict Officiali. "The League does not propose to stand with a drawn sword-? the : -gword of Damocles, as it were? | o^er the heads of our public officials, i That shall not be our attitude; but rather to advise and consult with, and swap ideas on matters that af fect, and arc of interest to, the masses and to keep the masses ad vised oh such matters as are of in terest to them. I might say here that no public official who has done, and is doing, his duty faithfully and im partially has anything to fear from the League. Neither nas any citizen or tax payer who lias mqde true re turns of his property and has paid his prorata of taxes. It is only such officials or individuals as have not, and are not, giving to their neigh bors a 'square deal ip these matters who need fear the influence or ac tion of the League. It is from these, too, that you will most likely hear opposition to our organization. We shall not hesitate on account of such opposition. There was much opposi tion manifested against Christ when He came to complete the arrange ment. wherey we might all be relieve ed of 'taxation' and all other vexa tirius problems, and opposition to any movement the purpose of which is to; better the conditions and surround- : ings of the people has never since i been lacking. Let's as many as may, | pull together and see wha't we are able to accomplish through the i League. | (Signed) M. W. GALLOWAY. | Brevard. August 7, 1028.

IRONSIDE To Lecture Here Next Week FACULTY RECITAL HIGHLY PLEASING! ? ? Large Crowd Attests Interest ' In Boston School of j t Expression Attesting to the cordial welcone accorded the Boston School of Ex pression and Dramatic Art, which is in its first summer session here, was the large audience which gathered at the High School auditorium Friday evening to attend the faculty re cital of this school. Assisting the faculty in its pro ' gram of unusual excellence and Va- 1 riety were some of Brevard's talent ed musicians and one of the stud ents of the school. Alvin Moore, 1 generally conceded a genius in the ! realm of music and a gifted music- ; lan of whom Brevard is justly proud' to claim as its own, rendered great ! assistance^ on the program and added ! to the enjoyment of the evening with his vocal and piano solos and with ! his accompaniaments of the solo ' dances. Other local talent assisting i on the evening's program were Miss Lillian Jenkins, who accompanied i Mr. Moore in his vocal solos, and; Mrs. B. E. Nicholson, whoaeCom-4 panied Miss Howard In her reading | selections. Especial mention is also due the. dramatic student, Miss Dor-' othy Hale, who committed to mem- j or.v on only a few days' notice her | important part in the one-act plav ! presented, and fitted her role into the play with the impr.ess of a vet eran performer. Needless to say the faculty per formers, Miss Frances Howard, with her delightful readings, and Mis* Blanche Hayden, displaying unusual ability and gracefulness in her solo dances, fully demonstrated the fact that they are talented in their respective lines of dramatic art and exceptionally well qualified to give instruction in these courses offered in the Boston schooj. Mr. Harlan Forrest Grant deserves particular mention in the dramatic ability shown; in. his role of the one-act play, "Suppressed Desires." playing with the two other talented perform-; ers, Miss Howard and Miss Hale, all bringing forth peals of laughter in their clever interpretation of the characters in developing the plot of the play, MANY CASES HEARD I IN SUPERIOR COURT Much progress is being made in Superior court, now in its second week for the trial of civil cases, and the docket is nearing completion.

PLACING NUMBERS ON ALL BUILDINGS Delivery of Mail Iri Brevard' To Start At An Early Date ? \ Wallace Galloway is now engaged in placing numbers <>n the business houses and residences of the town, [ preparatory to the institution of city mail delivery service for the entire [ .town. It is hoped to begin the deliv- i ery of mail at an early date, as this j work 'now being done by Mr. Gallo- j way, under -direction of the town! council, is the last of the require-] merits before actual work .of delivery | of mails begins. Postmaster Nicholson and other, interested citizens have been working for some time to bring delivery mail service to Brevard, and are now re ceiving the congratulations of the citizens upon their achievements. FALLING OF STARS THIS FRIDAY NIGHT; If tomorrow (Friday) night hap-' pens to be a clear night, there will ' be a spectacle in the skies well worth I waiting up to see, according to the ' astronomers. They say that the earth will be passing through a. swarm of revolving fragments of meteors. These are commonly! known as "shooting stars." It is said several parties are be ing planned for the night, and some people of the town and county may gather on mountain peaks or hilltops to witness the spectacle. According to the astrohoniers, the earth is to pass through this belt between tfj o'clock in the evening and 3 o'clock | in the morning. COLORED WOMAN HURT IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT Annie Hopson, colored, was injur ed in an automobile wreck Sunday night, it is said, when the car in-.j which she' and several- other Brevard i negroes were riding left the road on ' the Ceasar's Head highway, and turn- . ed over. The injury, while painful, was not of a very serious nature, it was reported. I1UNDREMEAR-0?J)?

' IT?! m DOUBLE VOTE OFFER WITH ONLY ONE MORE WEEK TO WORK Some Who Have Not Cared to Show Real Strength Might Perhaps Flash Under the Wire as Winners When Votes Are Counted ? Second Payment Subscriptions Will Play Important Part In Deciding the Winners of the Best Prizes ? This Week's Offer Will Prove a "Stepping Stones" to Those Who Demonstrate Their Ability Now. "They are going to finish strong." That* is the conclusion of the campaign Management of The Bre vard News Salesmanship Club, in which nearly $'2500 in prizes, etc., will be distributed shortly. . litre's why they think, so. No. 1. ltep'orts from towns outside of Brevard show that the majority of the nrcmbers? some of them who a couple of weeks ago were far down the list, are today among the leaders. No. 2. With only one week more after this of the wonderful race every- member is going over their territory again securing "Second Payments" and new subscriptions with a firm determination to win. A Few More Dny? A few more days of hustle and earnest seeking for subscriptions. These now have a tremendous vote value under the liberal vote seal? which is in effect during this week and meftibers are searching far and near for those who would dare admit they are not regular readers Of' The Brevard News. ? Wit each passing hour members renew their energy, redouble their efforts and swing forth to the fray with a determination that brooks no defeat. The prizes are awaiting those ambitious club members- ? the beau tiful new automobiles, "prize beauties" in every sehse of the word. The member who achieves the highest vote standing will be presented with the Chevrolet Sport Sedan, value ?829.00. The next highest the I'lord Tudor Sedan, value $504.00. Both are splendid automobiles among the best makes on the market, and arc ready to be brought forth for those who earn them. Realizing that the race will be close the members are preparing to avoid any possibility of disappoint ment Ijy garnering every available vote nnd subscription. "Second Pay- 1 merits" are a valuable help in this connection and the subscribers are themselves, in many cases, offering to ex tend their subscriptions so that some favorite may gain the precious Villus. ? Double Voles That isn't all either. Twice tbw regular schedule of votes will be al lowed on all subscriptions turned in during this week from Monday. Aug. <>th, to Saturday night, Aug. 11th. This means that twice the number of votes that are allowed according t<> the regular schedule will be credited and it docs not mean that twice' as many votes will be given this week as has been given heretofore. Second Payments Count , A lucrative source of votes is coming from members following the "Second Payment Plan" by going over the Held again. Quite a num ber of small subscription- were tak< 11 in earlier periods of the club and the rules provide that where a nieniber secures a "second payment*' ? iib-scrip tion, this "second payment" counts 1 1 ? apply on the extra vnto offer Mil der which the original subscription ?I turned in. in order to get credit ?' 1 tli additional v.

Call on your friends and net them to give you a big "Second Payment" subscription. Over Confidence Is Fatal Those who are assuming the atti tude (there are a very few of them) of having enough votes ahead ? had better step lively, as the late starters! are coming to the front in an amaz ing manner. Taking a rest is all r'mht in its place, but it is \ r\ d;?n gemus at 'this critical s '.aire of the, r i nl< -in, i the most c ? i t : ; : : ? thine "f 'I ! > that t.lij value of ',he pristes j warrant u?h k en c>i:up<'t!ti?n and groat effort Jieing put forth to a ? quire tlum that one mu-t be alway- I on the alert f.> protect such good > as lias 'been done up to this time.

To Lecture Here Next Week LiBLE CONFERENCE MOVES TO CHURCH jGiccat Lectures Being Deliver ed Twice Daily, Morn ing and Evening NEW SPEAKERS HERE FOR SECOND WEEK Musical Director, Rev. Frank lin, Making Many Friends Here All sessions of the Bible Institute are now being held in the First Baptist church, it having been decided to hold no further meetings at the High School building. Meeting? will be held at 10, and 1 1 o'clock in the morn ings, and at 8 o'clock in the evenings. Increasing interest and attendance are manifest at the meetings of the Moody Bible conference, which start ed Sunday, for a fifteen-day session J- 1"0 auditorium of the Brevard ?High School building. This is the second annual conference heid ill Brevard, under the auspices of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, and present indications point to a most successful and profitable series of meetings during the two-week period. The Sunday night service was at^ tended by a large audience of local people and tourists, the speaker of the evening being the Rev. J. A. Sutherland, pastor of West End Baptist church, Birmingham, Ala. Or. Sutherland, in his masterly ad dress, took for his general theme the Divine inspiration of the Bible, pointing out several factors which give evidence of proof that the Bible is the inspired word of God. Some of the proofs of divine inspiration Bs cited by Dr. Sutherland are: its literary perfection, its marvelous organic unity, its scientific and his toric accuracy, prophetic uniqueness, universal adaptability and moral ex cellence. Dr. Sutherland spoke again Tues day evening arid will be the speaker at this (Thursday) evening service. He also gives the ihspiratonal ad iress each morn rig this week at the 11 o'clock period, and conducts the Bible hour for children from to 10 o'clock each morning this week at the Baptist church. He is nationally known in the excellence of his work among young boys and girls, and 100 . or more Children of the town are showing their interest in the Bible school by attending the hour's session each morning. Dr. Sutherland's daily addresses- are also attracting much attention as evidenced by the in creasing number of adults in attend ante each day. The conference proper started Sunday afternoon, when the Rev. R. Excell Fry, pastor of First Presbyter ian church, Pine Bluff, Ark., deliv ered the first of his series of ad dresses on the general subject of "The. New Life in Christ." Dr. Fry cited instances to prove the Divine inspiration of the Scriptures, and asserted that the greatest trouble with the church of today is that too many people are drifting into relig ion and trying to compromise with God. Dr. Fry continued this line of thought in his addresses on Monday arid Wednesday evenings, and will speak again on Friday evening on , this same general theme of the "New Life in Christ Jesus." Dr. Fry is proving quite popular also with his Bible expositions eflch morning at 10 o'clock. Adding greatly to the success of the conference is the Rev. It. O. Franklin,' of Erwin, Tenn., who is the efficient musical director and contributes much in the way of in spiration and interest in his efforts with the choir and congregational =inging. Rev. Wayne A. Monroe, of Bre .'a rd, is the enthusiastic and capable. Jircctor in charge of the entire Con "crcrice, and opens each session, in rodncing the various speakers. Mrs. Monroe is pianist and in charge of he supply of religious books on sale it the entrance of the auditorium. i The Rev. 15, O. Franklin, musical li rector of the Conference and pas or of the First Presbyterian church if Erwin, Tenn., will preach at the ilethodist church next Sunday niorn ng at the 11 o'clock hour of wor hi|>.
