BREVARD SLUGGERS 1 TAKE FIRST GAME IN W. C. LEAGUE Beacon Mills Nine Proves Easy Prey for Local Baseball Aggregation PAYNE PITCHES TO ASSIST IN THE WIN P. Schachner and Clayton Are fSwat Kings ? -Entire Team Looks Excellent Behind the masterful hurling of Albert Payne, -the Brevard aggrega tion of the Western Carolina League j handed Beacon Mills the small end of a ten-five score on Nolan Athletic Held at Swannanoa Saturday after noon. Only seven men connected with the Payne offering for safeties, and only two of these hits going for ex- T tra bases. The game was played on one of the ; best diamonds to be found in Western c North Carolina, and was witnessed (| by the most considerate and without j, doubt the most gentlemanly crowd j congregated in many a day. Nary a t. word "that the most conservative t| Christian gentleman or lady could a have taken oifense at was hoard dur- h ing the entire nine innings; no nasty l jibes; no arguments with .Umpire 0 Ballard? and all in all,, one of the ti most enjoyable games that could be imagined by a follower of America's j, king of sports. However, the home towners were out there rooting at all jj times for their boys, taking defeats u. like real honest-to-goodness men and cheering all the time. Truly, a great A example to the fans who will see the ?? six teams in action during the sum- . ' mer season. ^ Paul Schachner led both teams in n; batting honors, having to his credit pi an inrield, two singles and a double to out ot' five times at bat. Harry Clay ton was next in line, with a double g single and an infield. Fox, center, p and Brigman, right fielder, lead the ( Blanket Makers, Fox getting a single and double out of five, while Brigman j( hit a single and one past right field (|f for a "homer" which in its right was w for two bags, but by reason of some pj, drain water, into which the pellet [j. plopped, evadfcd Clarence Allison's -p. eye until all the bases had been rounded. hl Brevard tallied five runs in the m third when Payne beat out a slow is grounder, was pushed to third by "c Paul Schachnor's double; Mitchell m llew out to right field. Payne trotted mi home when Morgan threw Atwell's hot grounder away at first, Paul 3. stopping on third and Atwell on sec- vj' oiid: Harry Clayton cleared the bases rt, with a two bagger. Joe Schachner 'p| was safe when his long fly was muff- e(i ed in left field, Clayton coming in. .)e Tom Carson flew out to third and :u Clarence Allison smacked out an ex tra long one to score Schachner. Whitmire was hit on the shoulder by ~ ' Jarvis who had replaced Heilig in the . box when the hitting spree got under ?, way. Payne, up for the second time ' in the eventful inning, hit to short and Allison was forced out at third j to retire the side. nc Beacon scored one in the third, two ^ in the fourth and two in the seventh. t Three times during- the game asidp (,0 from the innings when the home team w, scored, Beacon rallied, put men on ( ' the bags and threatened to even things up ? but so often did Payne f tighten down on his crooks and come out of the hole. He was credited with ' eight strikeouts and fielded two chances perfectly. Payne had all the 1 backing that any pitcher could ask to for in an amateur organization in lpe keeping the score, Only two bobbles in the infield, and but one of them [j costly, were chalked up, the outfield e1 having a perfect day. er Heilig, pitching for Beacon, was touched for three hits in two and one- le half innings. He had two strikeouts ^ to his credit, but was pulled after his " team mates blew up in the third, js Jarvis gave up five hits in four in- r? nings with four strikeouts. Pace, ?who finished the game for the Blank- . et Makers, showed the Brevard boys some mean breaks, and aside from '] becoming a little rattled showed up good in the box. He struck out five ?' men in three innings, but was nicked for five hits in the eighth, which, w coupled with a pass and an error netted three runs for the Brevard ?.c boys who laid down a barrage of ' "bunt and run" plays. ?r Box .score follows: t,.

N. C. History BREVARD-DAVIDSON RIVER CHURCH OLD PRESBYTERIAN INSTITUTION By (JUDGE ROBERT L. GASH) On the -departure of Rev. H. F. Tay lor in 1844 the old church was one more without a pastor. About th close of the camp meeting season o the same year the matter of a pasto was a live issue and for the first tim we find a special meeting on this sub ject. (It will be noted that the cal ;f a pastor is an action taken by th< ?ongregation as a whole and not b; :he session.) In September, 1844, th( session met in a called meeting am eft the following record: "The ses lion met and agreed to pay the Rev ?. C. Baldwin one hundred dollars foi us ministerial services one year, t< ommence the first of October, 1844 ind the Rev. P. C. Baldwin acceptec he call and took charge of this church is their pastor. Mr. Baldwin evident y commenced his work on time for ve find the record of ' his taking part n receiving Ephraiam Orr into the hurch on October 27. The following ay (1843)' we find the records that Elizabeth Orr, D. B. Miller, Dovey "atton and Mahaly Myers joined the hurch and of the baptism of the chil ren of J. W. Killian, Ephraiam Orr nd M. Myers; the next month Abra am Lyday was also received, fhis ,yday, I understand, was the ancestor f the numerous Lydays in this see on of the country. The ministerial work of the Mr. aldwin seems to have been satisfac >rily and without friction, for ie next three years camp meetings ere held regularly, generally with ie or more visiting pastors. William nderson, John Hamilton and Rebec i Lyday joined the church in 1845 id in September of that year we find ie record, "a colored man by the une of Bill, joined the church on ofession of his faith, who belonged Joel Mackey.'' During 1846 Matilda Clayton, S. H. layton, Jane M. Moore, Catherine layton, Tetitha C. Anderson and A. Miller were received. In 1847 W. Williams, Miss Rebecca Britian, >el Trull, Sarah Trull and A. J. Ly ty were received. In the same year e find accounts of the nomination, ection and ordination of J. W. Kil m and George Orr as ruling elders. M. Galloway, Lavenia Parker, G. Kitchen and M. E. Kitchen were (Id at the regular May communion eeting. (It might be noted that this the first place in the record where oniniunion" is used.) The previous eetings were called Sacramental eetings. From the summer of 1848 until Mr aldwin left the church in 1850 scr ces were held regularly but for some ason very little results obtained, tie meetings were not as well attend and visiting preachers did not ap ?av and for some reason the work st didn't get results. During this period there is more ace taken up in the church records ith the differences between the pas r and one of the members of his ack then in the records about church eetings. Just here it may be of interest to ite that in that day people took their ligion very seriously and a great any things were looked on as serious fensqs which are not so vigorously ndemned at the present time. 1' as not an unusual thing for a mem r to be haled into a church trial for irsing, or being under the influence liquor, or having any conduct that as decidedly contrary to the usages id customs of the time. In August, 1848, report was made the session of failure of efforts to concile the differences between the i\\ P. C. Baldwin and John Mc ain. During the next few months tters were written, mutual friends ideavored to make peace between the irties an dthe quarrel o rdifference ems to have taken more of the at ntion of the congregation than the mal church services. Matters drag ?d along in this way until May, ;49, at which time the pastor refer d charges against Mr. McClain in e following words: Charge 1. "John McClain aid not ke the course with his brother (the , oresaid Baldwin) , which the Bible ] id the Book of Discipline directs one ?other t o proceed against another ho had offended." Charge 2. "John McClain is charg l with making a private offense pub : and endeavoring to injure the laracter of P. C. Baldwin as a min ter of the Gospel. This he did by ilking in a disrespectful manner of im to various persons at his own :>use." Charge 3. "John McClain is charg ;1 with saying that P. C. Baldwin is liar. This he said in his own smith aop, in the spring of 1848." Witness i: T. N. Galloway and Jones Patton. Under the usual procedure, copies f the charges were furnished to Mr. IcClain and he was notified to be resent at the meeting of the session a answer to the charges. McClain did ot appear but wrote a letter to the ession to the effect that he would ot appear and also that he did not onsider himself, any longer a mem er of this church. (Some time before John McClain oined the Methodist church, and my reformation is that about this time, ohn McClain's daughter married the iIethodi3t preacher.) This letter was not satisfactory to he session so they again notified Mc clain to be present at a special raeet ng to be held in July. The second no ice McClain ignored and again failed :o appear. The session was a little loubtful as to just what it could oi :ould not do, but evidently was detar nined to have a church trial. Thej nvited Charles Moore, an experiencet slder of the Asheville church, to b< aresent and assist them. When thej vent into the trial they gave Moon FRY OUR WANT ADS. special charge to look after the inter e est of McClain and to see that no ad e vantage was taken of McClain and f that his rights were not violated in r any way. A number of witnesses were e examined and these witnesses estab - lished the fact that there were dif 1 ferences between Baldwin and Mc a Clain, and that McClain had stated i ' that Baldwin had lied on three sep 2 arate occasions and that he could 1 prove it, and named various witnesses - that he could prove it by. No witnesses were examined for McClain. 1 After the evidences had been intro j duced the session considered the mat ter and took the following action: J I "Resolved that in the judgment of the session, according to the evidence . that the charges proved against the ' said John McClain are well founded and is hereby excluded from church privileges until he gives satisfactory evidence of repentence." ! So far as the church records show this is the end of the matter, how ever, it is of interest to note that : about this time a number of the friends and relatives of Mr. McClain ' I joined the Methodist church and a few : joined the Baptist church. ' At this late day the writer has no 'j information as to the grounds for the | ! quarrel but whatever the grounds, it J seems to have had enough weight to , j have caused a division in the church , and for some time it practically nulli- ; fied the work both of the pastor and t the church. 'j I ? Since the gist of the judges in this trial was the fact that John McClain . ' had called the preacher a liar, it 'sefems appropriate to comment on the | difference between a trial for slan der in the olden days and the same kind of a trial now. This difference 'prevailed to a large extent in both I .... church trials and ordinary trials at law. In the olden days publishing slanderous language was actionable and according to the old English Com mon Law (on wftiich law our laws are founded) where the publishing of the slanderous language was proven, if it was also proven that the charges were true it was considered that "the greater the truth of the charges the greater would be the damage." In modern practice wnere a slan derous charge is made it is held that if the charges are true, then they are not actionable, and that it is not ac tionable, and that it is not actionable to tell the truth. The trial mentioned above occurred at the time that pro cedure in such cases was changing and when a large part of the pepple, judges, lawyers and others still held to the old practice and this was espe cially so with the older men. It might be of interest to note that just at this time there were a num ber of things that contributed to in terfere with the work of the church. 'As mentioned above a number of members left the church and joined other denominations. * A number of young men had gone into the army, taken part in the war with Mexico, a number had moved West to help settle Texas and the territory taken from Mexico. Immediately afterward came the general rush of the adven turously inclined to the gold fields of California." We know not how much weight any one of the several causes had but the work in the church was at a low ebb and the final record of Mr. Baldwin shows that at a meeting in July, 1850, the old clerk of the ses sion being gone, George Orr, was ap pointed clerk of the session. A month ater when the Rev. John Dyke (probably the evangelist for Union Presbytery) held camp meeting, Bald vin was gone. At this same meeting ( f. W. Killian was elected representa ive to Union Presbytery to be held at 1 iuthledge, Tenn., on October 4, 1850. ; At this time we find the work of he church at rather a low ebb and , without a pastor, which continued ijn- j il the arrival of Rev. William Graves, , vho came to the church the following ( ummer. i( (To Be Continued) t I Oakland News Items il ? Rev. S. B. McCall arid family havi moved from the Gillespie cottage a ?

Transylvania county is one of the 43 counties of North Carolina included in the provi sions of the act, ratified by the Gen eral Assembly last Friday, which "authorizes, empowers and directs the sheriff or otTier tax collecting officers in certain counties and municipalities in such counties to establish a partial payment plan for collection of taxes." ! The act provides that officials of these counties and the municipalities located in them establish a plan of collecting not less than 25 per cent of the amount of the tax bill at each of four quarterly periods, with inter est on the unpaid amounts, but the property is not released and is still subject to sale until the entire tax bill is paid. A few counties already have this plan, provided by the pres ent General Assembly, and worked out by the former County Government Advisory Commission.
