GIRL SCOUTS ENJOY
CAMP AT SAPPHIRE
( Contributed )
The Girl Scout Camp has at last
become a glorious reality! After
weeks of planning, preparation, and
expectation, the camp has embarked
upon its first session. High honors
go to Jane Yongue for naming the
Girl Scout Camp. The name she chose
[is Camp Silver Lake.
On June the first the Scouts had
1 1 heir first Council Fire on the lovely
J shore of Sapphire Lake. Mrs. Hinton
MjcLeod, captain of Troop II, told a
very interesting story entitled "The
Sweetest Story." No story could have
been more appropriate- or entertain
ing to relate to a group of Girl
Scouts.
The most outstanding event of
June the second was a candy pulling.
Despite the fact that the majority of
the candy was deposited upon cloth
ing, faces, and hands, this enjoyable
feature was a glorious ending of the
day's activities.
Friday evening, June the fourth,
the second (Council Fire was held
with several members of the B. and
P. W. club present. Mrs. L, B.
Haynes, noted Browning devotee,
narrated a very touching selection
from the famous English poet en
titled "Pippa Passes." All who have
read this know what a lovely story
it is, but nothing can compare with
Mrs. Haynes' manner of presen
tation.
The raising of the flag pole was
a very impressive ceremony. As Miss
TBill Aiken threw a cherished memo
into the hole, Miss Ethel McMinn
marched around and filled it with
spadefuls of earth. As a crowning

MUCH INTEREST IN
BAPTIST REVIVAL
The revival services at the Baptist
church were launched Sunday even
ing when Rev. Paul Hartsell, pastor
of the church challenged the combin
ed congregations of B r e v a r d's
churches with the question "Does
Brevard need a Revival."
In his sermon he revealed that Bre
vard is in need of a revival and that
it needed the prayers of everyone in
order to have a successful one.
Rev. Jesse R. Owen, former Bre
vard pastor, and for 17 years pastor
of the Mars Hill Baptist church, now
of Asheville began the revival ser
vices Monday evening before an in
terested worshipful congregation.
Large congregations are predicted to
hear Rev. Owen's powerful sermons.
Prediction Made That Morrison Will
Win By Large Majority In 2nd Race
Raleigh, June 8 ? Robert R. Reyn
olds sprung the surprise of a genera- 1
tion in political circles, and walked
away with the voting in last Satur- <
i day's primaries with a lead of some- i
I thing like 12,000 over his nearest op- ]
iponent, Senator Cameron Morrsion. i
In round numbers the vote stands:
! Reynolds 150,000 <
Morrison 138,000 ]
Bowie 37,000 i
Grist 28,000 j
Simmons 3,800 ?
Friends of Cameron Morrison are :
planning the cail for a second pri- i
mary, and Reynolds is making plans
for the great contest, which will be ?
staged on the second day of July. ?
Bowie and Grist have both express
ed intention of voting for Reynolds
and supporting him in the second
contest. It is expected to be the poli- i
tical battle of the ages.
It is believed here that Morrison
will defeat Reynolds in the second
primary by a great majority. Reyn
old's lead in the first primary has i
occasioned much speculation in poli
tical circles. But little importance it
attached to the wet and dry phases
of the Reynolds victory. In the first
place, it is pointed out, Morrison was
too self-confident, and let the ham
mering Reynolds, Bowie and Grist
make great dents in his amor before
he really thought there was any real
danger to his candidacy.
Morrison's (friet^ds iwtere likewise
too confident, it is argued. But both
Morrison and all of his friends will
snter upon the secon dprimary in old
style manner, and every trick in the
kitbag of real politicians is known to
these friends of Mr. Morrison.
Dry advocates were likewise un
organized, and unmindful of the real
proportions of the Reynolds campaign
until it has grown into a grea force,
[t was too late then for efficient
work to be done. But now it is dif
ferent, the leaders of the dry forces
say, and Mr. Reynolds with his wet
platform will go up against the old
time militancy of the prohibition ad
vocates in thi scorning contest.
Interpretation placed upon the
Reynolds vote by outside papers, see
ing nothing but a wet victory in the
campaign and its results, has stirred
prohibitionists to a fever heat, and
they're putting on the armor and
making ready to prove to the world
that Robert R. Reynolds will never
go to the United States Senate from
North Carolina on a wet platform.
It is said that many people who voted
for Reynolds in the first primary for
reasons of their own, are new for
Morrison becauso of the wat inter
pretation that has been placed upon
the Reynolds vote.
People schooled in politics predict
a great Morrison victory in the sec
ond primary.

TRANSYLVANIA" COUNTY !
TO GET $50,000 OF FUND ,
Overhead Reduced For Entire '
State While Fu?d For |
Teaching Is Increased
i Raieigh, June 8. ? An increase of j
! 333 in numbers of teachers for the ?
public, schools in North Carolina fori
next year, to a total of 22,526 !
teachers, has been made by the State J
Board of Equalization, which in- .
creased the allotment of funds,
830.106.68, or from the original al-i
lotment of $15,482,279.18 for the
passing year to $15,512,385.86 for
next year, a tabulation issued today
iby LeRoy Martin, secretary of the
'board, shows.
The table shows the allotments for
the four main items of general con-]
trol, instructional service, operation1
I of plant and auxiliary agencies in
the 100 county school systems and 94
charter schools, the allotments for
the three smaller items, attendance,
audit and rural supervision, to be
jmade later.
While the increased attendance of
[30.639 pupils in the schools the past
' year would require about 800 ad
ditional teachers u ider present pro-!
visions, the board found it necessary!
to strike a compromise, since the)
! schools have to operate next year onj
the same funds provided for the past'
year, except that small savings were!
| made the past year which may be!
used for next year. Reductions have i
been made in the various objects of!
costs in order to provide the addi
tional teachers allotted, but the re
ductions in those items would have
been too great to provide funds for
all the additional teachers needed.
Three of these main Items were j
reduced for next year, accounting:
for the bulk of the increase in in- 1
structional service, or teacher sala- [
Iries, largely. General control was;
decreased $34,979, or from $526,055

| According to a recent announce- j
[ment of Prof. J. B. Jones, county-city
superintendent the teaching staff of !
the county will be elected within the |
next few days. The 'state 6 months
budget as outlined by the state was
adopted by the board of education
when they met in regular session
Monday morning.
The state allotment for the six ,
months school term for the county

percent; Office supplies, 33 1-3 per
cent; Instructional supplies, 33 1-2
percent; Janitor, 5 percent; Fuel 10
percent; Janitors supplies, 20 per
cent; transportation 1 percent.
The state allotment includes 6
months salary for 65 white teachers
in the county and 7 colored teachers,
this being the same as for the school
year of 1931-32.
The board voted to consolidate the
Pleasant Hill School near Rosman
with the Rosman schools since it has
only 10 pupils.
Mrs. L. P. Wilson was appointed
a member of the school committee at;
Roundtop to fill a recent vocancy. i
It was voted to advertise for sale
the old school house and grounds at
Penrose which have been abandoned
for several years.
LINEMAN HURT IN
FALLING OF POLE
Knox DeLong, lineman for the
Southern Public Utilities company, .
suffered severe injuries in an acci- /
dent that occurred Tuesday while hei
was working on the line leading to J
Camp Carolina. Mr. DeLong, it is I
said, was climbing a pole for the pur
pose of removing the wiring prepara
tory to replacing the old pole with a

the way up the 21-foot pole, it broke
at the "ground, carrying the lineman
to the ground
Mr. DeLong was rushed to the Ly
day Memorial Hospital where he is
now making recovery from the se
rious injuries sustained. It is said he
suffered a fractured skull, scalp lac
erationa, a broken hand and bruised
shoulder .
The company, it is said, had oniy
recently acquired the line upon which
the work was being done, and the
workmen were replacing the old poles
with new poles of standard size when
one of the old poles fell, hurting Mr.
DeLong.

THIS FISCAL YEAS
Deficit Would Have Been
Twelve Million But For
Expense Reduction*.
FAILURE TO BALANCE THE
BUDGET CAUSED DEFICIT
Curtailment of Expenditures
Absolutely Necessary Gov.
Gardner Points Out.
Raleigh, June 8. ? North Carolina's
genera! fund deficit at the end of the
present fiscal year, .June 30, is ex
pected to be $5,708,378, of which
$2,332,550 is the amount by which
the budget was not balanced for the
1929-31 bienr.ium, and the balance of
$3,373,828 is the result of expending
the full amount appropriated for the
six months school tenn without cur
tailing the amount, as were the
amounts appropriated for the State
departments and institution;', it is
shown in a statement issued by
Governor 0. Max Gardner, director
of the Budget, through Henry Burke,
budget assistant
?"Tha situation was realized in 1929
and plans wore laid and have been
executed to gradually reduce State
expenses," the statement says. Re
(Suctions against appropriations
amount to $3,561,200 for the two
years of 1929-31 and $2,562,184 for
the one year 1931-32, a total of
$6,123,384, it is shown. The poteniial
debit talance, or deficit, ior the three
years to June 30, 1932, is $11,829,762,
while the actual deficit is expected to ,
be $5,706,378, the difference, $6,123,
384, being the reduction; in expendi
tures from the appropriations.
"It is difficult to say now what can
be done for the fiscal year 1932-33,
but it is expected to reduce expenses
in even greater degree. Plans are
being worked out to hold the debit
balance for 1932-33 to a maximum of
$1,350,000 ? and, if necessary on ac
count of continuing distressing con
ditions, to hold the expenses within
the income for the year." the state

Bureau the Woman's Exchange will
open Saturday morning. June li, in
the former Chamber of Commerce
rooms on East Main St. Miss Lillian
Jenkins will have charge of the Ex
change room which will be open every
day during the summer months.
The Exchange is a netv project in
stituted by the Women's Bureau and
it is believed that it will meet with
success. The plan outlined by the
Bureau gives an opportunity to the
women of the town and county to
place any- article of handwork or edi
bles such as canned goods, cakes, can
dies, on sale.
A charge of ten percent of the
price of the sirticle is added to the
price set by the owner of the article
which goes to the Bureau to defray
expenses of handling.

fifty cents, which will cover ail
charges to the individual for the en

The Chamber of Commerce rooms
habe been renovated and painted in
preparation for this sale room, and
it is hoped that the women of the
county will take advantage of this
opportunity of placing on sale their
handwork.
