R. W. EVERETTS GIFT
TO STATE PLEASES
DEPARTMENT HEAD
(Continued if rom-zxuje on t)
be a contribution toward creating; a 1
different feeling toward these divine
gifts." I
?Mr. Everett's collection consists of .
31 heads of "big game,'' several of j
which represent world records. It is
reported that one of the largest mu- ,
seums of the country offered the .
sportsman $15,000 for the specimens <
but he preferred a public service to
profit from this source.
Gov. 0. Max Gardner, while on a
visit to Brevard, saw the collection |
and expressed the wish that it might
be placed in the museum at Raleigh,
and it is believed that Mr. Everett
then decided upon giving it to the
state, announcement of his decision
Jjgeiug made public only last week.
Tot the past "several years, Mr,
Everett has gone to the northwest on
hunting trips, and the collection now
being offered the state is the accu
mulation of many years work, dur
ing which the Brevard sportsman has
had unusual experiences and many
narrow escapes from death or ser
ious injury.
Many of the mountings in this col
lection have long adorned the walls
c: the Brevard Banking company's
building, and thousands of visitors
have spent many hours in admiring
the unusual display.
The large collection consists of
eik, moose, Rocky Mountain goats,
Rocky Mountain sheep, mule deer,
Alaskan brown bear, coyote, bobcats,
mountain lion, and grizzly and black
bear. From this collection, Mr. Ev
evett nroposes to give to the state
museum 31 heads, including ten elk,
nine of which were killed in Wyom
ing and one in British Columbia.
One of this collection is listed as a
record head, with heavy seven point
ed horns, with a 55-inch spread.
This prize head was taken by Mr.
Everett during a season that had
been extended to December 1. A
heavy snow had follen, with the
temperature below zero. He had
passed up 400 bulls, searching for
this big elk. which he finally found
at the tiead of Spread Creek, near
the famous Jackson Hole in Wyom
ing.
"? -? ? j
mi", njvereifc win rtiov uyu?w
moose heads, four from the Jackson
Hole country south of the Yellow
stone Park, and four trom British
Columbia. Five of this group are
listed as heavy extra fine specimens.
Three Rocky Mountain goats tak
en in British Columbia, are included
i;i the gift. The largest is that ot a
billv. of unusually large saze with
? horn length of nearly 11 inches.
Two Rockv Mountain sheep he." s,
taken in British Columbia, on the
headwaters of Raines Creek, are in
the collection. Experts declare that
no finer specimens can be found in
any museum than these in lVlr
Everett's collection. One ot these,
th?> finest one, has a base measuie
between the horns of eight and one
half inches, while the curl ot the
horn comes out over the eye.
Mr. Everett will also present eight
muie deer heads, seven of which
were taken in Colorado and one in
British Columbia. Two of these are
unusually large, one of them having
36-point horns. These were killed on
the Sangre de Christo mountain.
Mr. Everett told interestingly ot
the Roosevelt elk, found in British
Columbia. This elk is much larger
than the elk in the Yellowstone Na
tional Park area, having heavier
horns and larger molded bodies. The
Brevard man killed one of these,
having heavy six-point horns, with
15-inch spreads, being what experts
pronounce a perfect specimen.
In addition to the mounted heads
being given to the . museum, Mr.
Everett plans the inclusion of a
mountain lion skin, killed in Colo
rado. This lion had killed a four
year-old mare just shortly before the
Brevard sportsman :hot the big fel
low. The lion was trailed by a pack
trained to follow the vicious caat,
treed after several ours, and shot
by Mr. Everett.
Mr. Everett holds the distinction 1
of having killed the second largest ,
Alaskan brown bear ever taken. This
event occurred on the Alaskan penin- '
sula. near the Pavelof volcano, and |
the bear was widely known among |
the natives and visiting sportsmen
as "Big Foot," because of a track
that measured 17 and one-half inch
es. After Mr. Everett had killed the
bear, and the skin had been removed,
three men were required to carry the
hide to camp.

SHERIFF WOOD WILL
MEET ALL SHOOTERS
Since the bird season .opened last
week in Transylvania coumv, a num
ber of the Brevard sportsmen and
would-be sportsmen have been rag
ging Deputy Sheriff Tom Wood, man
hunter of much renown, and peace
maker in times of trouble in certain
sections of the county. ___
Sheriff Wood says that he is "just
about fed up" on all the braggadocio
palavering of the "gun artists" of the
community, and issues the challenge
that he will meet all comers in field
trials. That while he has not hunted
any within the the past four years,
he stands ready to match his ability
against that of any of the fellows
who have been ragging him about
shooting. And this also applies, Sher
iff Wood says, to those fellows who
have been "talking about his South
Carolina dog."
TAX RATE IN ENTIRE STATE
HAS BEEN CUT CONSIDERABLY.
Raleigh, Nov. 23 ? The tax rates in
most of the counties of the state for
1931 is from 26 to 50 cents less than
it was in 1930, judging from the
counties that have already reported
their 1931 tax rate to the state tax
commission.
With Thanksgiving out of the
limelight this week* all faces will
be turned toward, that jolly old
fellow's home-Santa Claus%Land.

The Brevard High School Football
"machine galloped out onto a red mud
field, at Franklin, mid a downpour
of rain to defeat this red jerseyed
team by a score of 13 to 6.
The Brevard team did not look so
good in the first and second quarters,
as Franklin drove over a touchown
early in the first period, but they fail
ed to make the extra point. ? Then the
Blue Devils tightened down and play
ed very good football. The half end- ;
ed with Franklin leading 6 to 0.
At the beginning of the second half,
the Blue Devils looked like a differ-,
ent team. Brevard received the kick- }
off and drove the ball to Franklin's!
40 yard line. ""Bear" Davis came into !
the game and on the next play plow-i
ed through the mud to Franklin's 10 j
yard line. Schachner then dived pver I
a mass of players for a 5 yard gain.
Davis drove through the line, with

to Price for extra point.
At the beginning of the last quar
ter, the "Blue Devils" were leading
their host by a margin of one point.
Until the last minute of the last quar
ter, neither team could make very
many gains. Then a most sensational
play occured. The ball was on Bre
vard's 40 yard line, the Blue Devils
possession. The ball was snapped to
Schachner, who faded back to his 30
yard line and threw a pass to mid
field. The ball hit the-hands of-Mor
gan ind stuck. There was one man
who was in tackling distance of Mor
gan. No, he didn't get him, because
Neill, Brevard's flashy end, came
from nowhere, and this Franklin boy,
who wap about to tackle Morgan, got
a mouthful of mud. Morgan galloped
over for a touchdown, as the game
ended with the Blue Devils winning
by a score of 13 to 6. The outstand
ing players fdr Brevard were Joe
Schachner, Morgan, Meese, and Price,
while "Red" Henry took the honors
'for Franklin.

Camels are never parched or toasted
MaYE you noticed the new trend in cigarettes? ?
freshness is the popular thing.
That's because a fresh cigarette, as demonstrated
by Camels, is something smokers have discovered as
better than anything they ever tried before.
Camels are fresh in the Camel Humidor Pack be
cause they're made 'fresh to start with ? blended of
choice, delicately mild, sun-ripened tobaccos in which
the natural moisture and fragrant flavors are vigi
lantly safeguarded.
The tobaccos in Camels are never parched or toasted
? the Reynolds method of scientifically applying heat
guarantees against that.
That's why we say with so much assurance that
Camels are truly fresh. They're made fresh ? not
parched or toasted ? and then they're kept fresh in
the Camel Humidor Pack.
