DR. C. ?. CUNNINGHAM
AND C. L NEWLAND
HEADING MOVEMENT
{Continued fro* t mge one)
county. Dr. W. M. Lyday immediate
ly announced, when informed of the
desire to dedicate the hospital to the
memory of his" father, that he would
equip and furnish a ward to contain
some half dozen beds. Indications
have been made that other citizens,
and groups and organizations would
be glad to furnish a room in the hos
pital.
Four generations of Lydays have
served humanity in the medical pro
fession. The old pioneer, Dr. Andrew
J. Lyday, his sons, grandsons and
great grandsons, have been and are
now practicing medicine. Dr. W. M.
Lyday is now one of the outstanding
physicians of the county; death re
moved a few years ago Dr. Ell Lyday,
a brother, who was one of the beat
loved men of his day. Naming the
new hospital "The Lyday Memorial
Hospital," in commemoration of the
great work done by the old pioneer
and his descendants, is pronounced by
all citizens to be one of the most
beautiful tributes ever paid a citizen
of the mountain section.
With all the summer camps in op
eration here, and with the hundreds
and thousands of summer visitors, ad
ded to the county's fine citizenship,
the community's greatest need is that
of a well organized and operated hes
hospital. Announcements that this
need is to bo filled will prove most
interesting and pleasing to all citizens
< t the county.

DR. ANDREW J. LYBAY
WASCOUNTYS GREAT
PIONEER PHYSICIAN
( Continued from pane- one)
of him that he was not only physician
for physical ills, but was the adviser
to the families in whatever their
troubles' might be. Of course there
were no hospitals, and the doctor had
to go to the homes of the sufferers,
where he diagnosed the case, wrote
the prescription and filled it himself
from his supply of drugs and medi
cines which he carried with him. Kis
stock was replenished at stated inter
vals in the wholesale drug stores of
Greenville, S- C.
Dr. Andrew Lyday performed the
first operation in this section with
the method which was then new, that
is by giving anaesthetic. It was a
thigh amputation, and created tre
mendous discussion at the time.
As physician, friend and citizen, Dr.
Lyday's life left its imprint upon
this whole section. His life was so
interwoven and intertwined with the
people of his day, that his influence
is to this day felt throughout the com
munity in which he lived and luboreO
and loved. I
The great good of his life's work I
was not the only heritage left by Dr. |
Andrew Lyday. He left a fine family ?
whose influence lias grown into a tre- j
mendous factor for good over a large
part of the country. In 1859 he mar- ]
ried Miss Elizabeth L. Clayton, and j
t;) them twelve children were born? i
six son's and six daughters. Three of !
tho daughters and all six sons are !
still living, and in addition to these j
sons and daughters of Dr. and I.Irs", j
Andrew J. Lyday, there are 63 grand- ?
chiUTren, 70 great-grand-children and i
18 great-great-grandchildren.
K, in this mad age of speed, jazz !
and discontent, impatience, rivalry,
envy ?nd restlessness, the citizens 5
who settled this great mountain re- 1
gion, and established here the civil- ?
izftiin which should be enjoyed by
?ths present generation, there would
if. it is safe to assume, more thor
ough appreciation of the manifold
conveniences at the beck and call of
?!i the citizenship. Dr. Andrew J.
Lyday, and all the men and women
of his day and generation served for
tho sake of service itself. They faced
great obstacles and overcame tremen
dous handicaps and fought through
great difficulties. Life, to men like
Dr. Lyday, was to serve. Death came
to him while in actual service, attend
ing the sick. It was a great life ?
likewise it was a great death, to step
from his actual duties here across the
River that leads to eternal rest which
this county's first physician had so
richly earned.

* Lucky Fisherman With 9 Fine Trout j
, f
\ Jess A. 0|llovay, above, Transylvanin county register of deeds, won a
priio that many tlshciraeu dream of last week when So cajjifht nine sptck
! led trout besuties in a mountain atreain near Brevard.
' ? I li,. rSf iTiiini-Timps.
Laurels for fishing prowess go tc
Jess A. Galloway, Transylvania coun
ty register (>i deeds, who Thursday
aftornocn crowned himself with glory
when he caught nine speckled trout
beauties in a fisherman's paradise
near Brevard, totaling 11 1-2 pound.?.
Six of the troui were 17 inches
in length while one was 13 inches
long end two, were 12 inches in
le-igth. It is believed that the fi o
wexv three years old.
Mr. Galloway, an ardent and /killed
fisherman, landed the nine prizes
within one hour and a half fiom the
moment he first dropped hi ; hoolc.
The nine specimens were perfect
examples of a fisherman's dreams
and Mr. Galloway explained that
there were many more in the streams,
where he caught the prizes, yearning
for a hook to bite.
The mountain streams in Transyl
? vania county abound with such fish,
land although it is unusual for speck
led trout to reach 17 inches, fisher
men this year believe them to be
greater si;:c than usual in the local
streams.
Mr. Galloway, register of deeds
here for the past term has announced
his candidacy for reelection. He
.-.panels his leisure time wading the
mountain waters, fishing for such
prize.-' as he caught Thursday.
Sine- the fishing season opened
April 15. the streams of Transylvania
county have given up a very small
percentage of the fish within them
although u large number of local and
\\; if l. fishermen enjoy their fav
orite .-.port each day.
A iarge number of fishermen have
reported large catches and it is the
general opinion among fishing circles
that the water prizes arc running in
unusually large .numbers and of
greater size this year than ever be
fore.
Such veteran fishermen as J. W,
.Smith, Brevard barber, and the three
Simpson brothers, George, Orville and
Leonard, of the Simpson barber shop,
Claude Glazener, of Rosman, and
"Doc" Galloway report prize catches
for the early season.
change bazaar during the summer
months, Mr3. B. F. Beasley being
chairman of the committee leading
the work. It is planned for ladies of
the Bureau to furnish the articles for
sale; the Bureau getting 10 per cent
and the contributor the remainder.
The exchange sale is open to all the
? ladies of the town.
The Bench committee including,
I Mrs. W. E. Breesc, Mrs. C. E. Orr
'and Mrs. Roy Long was requested to
I investigate the matter of placing
I benches along the business streets of,
the town for the benefit of tourists,
benches to be made by local carpen
ters.
After the business session, Mrs.
Roy Long read one of Edgar Guest's
poems, "In A Garden."

should have the benefit of the exten-i
sion boing asked of the county com
missioners.
A le^er to. the Board from W. E.
Ercesc, County attorney was read, in
which he suggested that the tax sales
bo postponed.
The letter read:
Board of Commissioners
Transylvania County
Brevard, N. C.
Gentlemen : i
In reference to extending the time
for advertising property for delin
quent taxes, I will say as 'follows: J
I have written to the Attorney ]
General and he gives me no definite!
answer but says that it is my duty to
advise the County Commissioners as '
to what they should do in the premi
ses. but he adds that the next legis
lature can validate any sale that isj
continued, as same has been done in
the past. I
Sir. Chas, M. Johnson of the Local
Self Government Cohimtesion says we
should not extend the time.
In my opinion, it may bp best for
the financial condition of the county
to. proceed with the sale on the first
Monday in June, but after talking:
with n large number of the citizens
of the county and being well aware
of the financial condition of the
county, I believe it would be for the
best interest of the people of the
county to extend the time, as there is
no money in the county at present.
I am therefore going to assume the
responsibilty and advise the Board
under the present conditions to ex
tend the time.
If the President of the United
States and his Advisors by and with
the consent of Congress see it proper
to extend the time for Germany and
other debtors of the United States to
have an extension of time in the pay
ment of their debts to the United
States and to give said debtors a
Moratorium, I think that an extension
of time would also be beneficial to
the citizens of this county.
Your3 truly,
W. E. BREESE
County Attorney
The Commissioners made a cereful
investigation of the financial condi
tion of the county, the closing down
of several plants and the fact that
there is no sale for farm products
ai::l live stock and the general condi
tion of the county and in view of
thfjir findings voted to' postpone the
tax sales, the sheriff being notified
to act accordingly.
One hundred dollars was set aside
for the Welfare Bond to be used in
the most useful manner.
