Mills River church having beer or
ganized, on March 25, 1860, Rev. Wil
liam Graves resigned as pastor of
Davidson River. On May IB, 18<0,
Rev. G. D. Parkes was called to the
pastorate of Davidson River, and
served the church until the following
January.
The usual summer meetings were
held. On July 23, 1860, the record
ends with: "The Lord's Supper was
administered by the pastor, Rev. G.
Tlj^syjkes and Rev. William Graves
i^fc^wesence of a large and re
sp&tful congregation."
During the latter part of Mr.
Parkes' pastorate, secession was in
the air, and the Confederate States
of America was formed.
In the latter part of 1860 and the
early part of 1861, before North Car
<>k\ia joined the Confederacy, in the
"^tintain section the "Union sentiment
strong. However, the Union sen
timet was sharply split when North
Carolina joined the Confederate
States, and a large part of those fa
voring the Union took sides with the
Confederacy.
In January, 1861, Rev. J. C. Stew- ,
art was called to the pastorate. At
the meeting March 30, 1861, Joel
Mackey united with church by letter, (
and Charles Patton on profession.
Both of these were later ruling elders
of the church for many years.
In April, 1861, Mr. Stewart resign- |
ed on account of ill health, and the ?
pulpit was vacant until he was re- ]
called in January, 1862. The record J
made on that date reads: "The session j
again employed the Rev. J. C. Stew- <
art, to be paid by subscription, the ,
amount as yet unknown." I
This ends the record, so far as the <
Sessional Records show, until after
the close of the Civil War. The church >
wa? divided, and most of the time j
without a pastor. One section was loy->"j
al to the Confederacy. Another stuck 1
to the Union. The two sections could
not amalgamate at that time. Some- j
times there would be a meeting; of 1
one section, and sometimes another.
Not only the church but ev6n the fam
ilies were divided. In some families
there were sons in both the. Southern
and Northern Armies. War condi
tions prevailed generally. Local living
conditions were made much more
acute by the presence in these moun
tains of those who belonged to the
army of ."General Green" ? those who
hid in the woods and dodged enlist- ?
ment in both armies, and those who i
hid in the woods and dodged enlist- 1
ment in both armies, and those who i
had deserted from one or the other ;
army, or both. The local name ap- i
plied to this element was "Bush
whackers," and they were credited ,
with being guilty of all kinds of rob- j
bery, terrorism, beatings, and with a j
number of murders. f
Under these conditions, there was i
but little activity in the church, and 1
even less record of the church activ- 1
ity. i
Following chapters will give ac- 1
:ount of the reorganization and fur- 1
;lose of the Civil War, during which ,<
period there were two churches, but l'
j short distance from each other, one 1
belonging to the Presbyterian church, i
LI. S. A. (usually referred to as the c
Northern Presbyterian Church), and c
;he other belonging to the Presbyter- c
an Church U. S. (usually called the i
Southern Presbyterian Church), and s
?ach claiming to be the original and s
rue Davidson River Presbyterian ^t
Church. s

Tommy Graham Pitches Great
Game Before Large Crowd
of Fans Saturday
LOCALS HAVE TOP PLACE
* IN W. C. LEAGUE RACE
Carson and Whit mire Lead the
Hitting With There Out
of Four Tries
Before the largest crowd out this
Beason, Brevard defeated Waynes- ,
ville-Hazelwood. here Saturday after- 1
noon by the score of seven to five,
outplaying the visitors all the way
through.
Tommy Graham, on the mound for
Brevard, pitched a great game, and i
was given good support by his team
mates. Aside from a little wildness in
the first inning, the local boy had the |
seasoned players from Waynesville,
Hazelwood and Canton under control
it all times.
Tom Carson and Tom Whitmire,
who have been in a hitting slump the
past couple weeks, brightened up and
ead their teammatefe in Saturday's
jo, Whitmire getting two doubles and
i single out of four tries, and Carson
;hree singles out of four times up.
The visitors scored two runs in the
'irst inning. Striking out the first
nan. Graham passed the next two,
vho scored when Curly Price smashed
>ne to the fence.
Brevard scored five runs in their
lalf of the first, Atwell singled; Joe |
Jchachner went down by the strike
>ut route; Allison was safe at first
in a fielder's choice when Atwell was
>ut at second; Clayton walked, push
ng Allison to second; Tom Carson
;ingled scoring Allison, going to
:econd on the play with Clayton on
hird. Albert Payne added another
ingle to score Clayton, stole second
ind trotted in after Carson when
Vhitmire hit for two. Skidmore slam
ned one to right field and Whitmire
cored on the muffed play. Graham
yent out shortstop to first to retire
he side after the entire team had
aced E. Robinson.
With two men out in the third in
ling, a double by F. Robeson and a
ingle by Price netted the visitor an
ther tally. One in the fifth and
ne in the sixth made the visiting
earn look good but they were unable
o overcome the big lead. Two singles
n the ninth with two men out looked
angerous but the game was over
?hen Fisher, called the "Lucky Boy"
y reason of the many breaks he re
eived here, popped out to Schachner.
Brevard scored two in the third on
hree bunched hits. Clayton, first
aseman up, flew out' to first. Car
on singled; Payne went out to cen
er. Whitmire again doubled, both
oys scoring on a long single by Skid
iore. Rhymer relieved E. Robeson in
he box and Brevard failed in their
coring. Fact is, the young Canton
:e, had the locals guessing for the
emainder of the game and only two
afeties were chalked up in the last
ve frames.

For Your Protection Make These
Comparisons Before You Buy Your Tires
UNDERNEATH the surface
is where you get the cold
truth about tire values. It's the
inside of the tire? the method
of construction and the quality
and quantity of materials ?
that determines its Stamina,
Performance, Safety, VALUE.
Yon can no more tell the qual
ity of a tire by its outside appearance than
yon can tell the character of a man by the
kind of clothes he wears.
We have arranged to show you cross sec
tions of Firestone and special brand mail or
der tires. Yon can come here and make your
own comparisons, nninfltmneed
by any sales propaganda. We
urge yon to thoroughly cheek
every vital point ? rubber
volume , weight , width, thick
ness, and plies under the tread.
Then bay accordingly ? ON
FACTS AND FACTS ALONE.
Against the various claims pre
sented about different tires, isn't this the
most logical suggestion ever made to 70a?
Could there be any more positive way to defi
nitely determine which tires offer you the
most for your money? There ran be no
question or controversy when you get the
FACTS yourself.
