/.V MEMORY OF ' j
JAMES THOMAS GILLILAND j
In the quite hours of Saturday
evening July 12. 1930, God in his in- ;
finite wisdom saw fit to remove James j
Gilliland from our midst. With a !
smile on his face he closed his eyes
and folded his hands for a quite rest,
because God who doeth all things well
willed it so. ""''WH
Mr. Gilliland was the son of Mrs.
John Dunlap of Siler City, N. C. He '
had made his home in the Swananoa
Valley since his marriage in June,
1928. He married Miss Nancy Raines
of near Brevard and visited in this
section many times, gaining a host
x of friends who were made sad to
hear of his passing.
While working at an electrically
driven saw, in the Beacon manu
facturing plant a piece of lumber was
torn from his hands and flung into
the air striking him in the abdomen.
After spending several hours in the
hospital where the best medical aid
was rendered his condition proved
fatal. He said his time had come and
he was ready to go.
He joined Love's Creek Baptist
church in his early teens and later
transferred his membership to Swan
anoa Baptist church where he was
a member until his death. He had a
host of relatives and friends through
out the eastern part of this state and
many other states to mourn their
heavy loss.
"He came forth as a flower and
was cut down."
"But there is yet hope of a tree,
if it be cut down, that it will sprout
again and that the tender branches
thereof will not cease."
Life has>been lonely since his de
parture. and there is a vacancy no
one seems to fill. Yet we know life
has been made a little better for his
having passed through and Heaven
a little brighter through his entrance
there.
He was laid to rest in Pine Grove i
cemetery beneath a bed of roses un- '
<!er the everlasting shade of God's
trees and under the sod of God's
earth until the resurrection morn.

KISSIS'G
Lincoln Times
Every so often some learned doc
tor ? whose best friends it is to be
.suspected, won't tell him what his
rouble is ? has his fling at taking
the joy out of life by issuing solemn
warning against the perils of kissing.
Now comes Dr. O'Leary, of Min
nesota, who declares, as many have
done before him. that kissing is likely
? to spread a wide varity of disease
fjerms, ranging from tuberculosis to
housemaid's knee. Says he: "Even
the healthiest are liable to disease
from infection through careless os
culation."
Like others of the killjoy tribe, the
good doctor doesn't know just what
can be done about it. In spite of all
^ ^warnings, the ancient art of kissing
?fctill flourishes. It is even suspected
that in some quarters it is on the
increase.
#r Yet few will deny that kissing has
its dangers. One of which, in certain
cases, is that of getting caught.
"MOTHER TAYLOR"
Back in the early nineties there
came into the mountains of Western
North Carolina two persons seeking
a place wherein to found an In
stitution that had for its principal
aim and purpose the development of
Christian Character and training for
Heme making.
Fortunately for Brevard, there!
were those living in the town who '
sensed a vision of what such an In- 1
stitution would mean for the genera! i
up-liit of this great mountain sec- j
tion, and these envisioned persons
were instrumental in having these
two people visit Brevard and Tran
sylvania County and they saw a
"ridd already white with harvest"
where laborers were few.
Leasing for a season the house
erected by Mrs. E. T. llenning at
the present Rail-Road cut on West
Main street, one room was set apart
for school work, and if memory is
not at fault, Miss Dovie Hamlin of.
Selica, was the first pupil. Other
girls came from time to time ar.d
larger quarters became necessary.
Miss Delia Gash, the then occupant
of the "Red House," and one of the
choice Christian spirits of the com- j
munity, turned her Home, which was j
then and still is one of the landmarks
of the town, over to these Heaven
sent Christian workers who had not
despised the "day of small begin
nings" and who saw the work of i
the Master prospering in their hands.
A large increase in attendance of
girls from various sections of Tran
sylvania came and lived in this Home
which was indeed "as a city set on a
hill" and gave forth a radiant light
of character training which has in
creased with the passing of the years.
Many people in the town, having be
come convinced that the school was
one of remarkable influence for good,
began to patronize it by sending their j
boys and girls to it. Soon it became !
apparent that the Institution had be- 1
come fixed as an indispensable part ?
of the County's Educational system,
and additional room for growth be
came a pressing necessity. Six acres
of land were purchased where the
girls dormitories and Administration
buildings are now located, and on
April 9, 1901, ground was broken,
with appropriate ceremonies, for the
erection of "Taylor Hall."
Soon thereafter, by constant and j
persistent efforts on the part of these
two path-finders in Christian and vo- 1
cational home-training, aided by their j
loyal supporters and friends who had
seen the horizon pushed back by this |
helpful and wholesome Institution of !
learning, interested The Woman's :
Home Mission Society of the Metho-i
dist Episcopal Church, South, in the,1
work which had been brought through I
years of struggle and hardship to a !
place where there was needed ad
ditional power and resources beyond j
that which these two faithful found- !
ers, limited as they \ ere in the things i
of the world, could command, and j
into the hands of this great Religious j
organization of a great Church,
Fitch Taylor and Sara Taylor, with ?
confidence and faith in the future of j
the Institution, committed a great |
trust. That which had been to them
a dream in the long ago had become, j
under a Providential guidance, a I
reality, and in its destiny for a won
derful and uplifting work among the
children of men of this Southland, j
and especially of the great mountain |
section, they had an abiding faith ,
that lasted for each of them until j
life's sun-set gates closed.
From the "one room" and the "one:
girl," these two had seen hundreds I
of boys and girls cdme to a well !
equipped Institution with modern
dormitories and other necessary
buildings surrounded by broad anil
fertile acres for vocational develop
ment. Truly these two faithful
founders had seen "their dreams
come true."
After many years of useful benevo- j
lent labors, Rev. Fitch Taylor, passed j
to his reward in 1909. His saintly i
companion remained for 23 years to j
see larger things accomplished, and ,!
on July 25, 1932, she wrapped the;
drapery of her couch about her and I
lay down as one to pleasant dreams. !
What a lasting monument to the j
sacred memory of these departed I
saints of earth. Neither brass noi I
stone piled high is necessary to keep
alive the memory of these who have !
labored and passed on, but far better
than this, the influence for good set'1
in motion by them is and will ever I
be as a pillar of cloud and fire lead- 1
ing this and other generations from I
the low-land bogs of earthly and un- J
kempt homes to the up-lands of bet- 1
ter citizenship and Christian charac
ter.
If some one shall stand in Brevard
in the years to come and ask where
is the monument to Mr. and Mrs.
Taylor, he will only have to be told,
as was the visitor who stood amidst
the wonders of Westminister Abbey
looking for the monument to its build
er, Sir Christopher Wrenn,: "Look
around you." Is he yet unsatisfied?
Let him find his way into the homes
of those who have gone out from
"Epworth School" and "Brevard
Institute." Let him visit the Campus,
the Carpenter shop, the Farm Dem
onstration Department; the Domestic
Art Department, and the Marthas in
the Kitchen, and then let him sense |
the Christian atmosphere pervading !
the entire work of the Institution.
Here this saintly couple labored '
and others have entered into their
labors. They builded better than they
knew, and the glorious work which
they began and which is being con
tinued lives on in the lives of
thousands who have gone out and
will go out into all sections of this
great country to establish Christian I
Homes which constitute the only bul
! wark to our disturbed arid tottering
civilization.
Beside her departed husband who
sleeps ami-d the charms of a Sylvan
Valley, the body of this aged saint
rests from her labors and when He
cometh to gather up His jewels these

It seems that everyone outside of

granted that all the citizens in this
section arc poverty-stricken, and live
in little cabins stuck on the side of
hills. Of course years and years age
when the early settlers came ts this
country, that was true, but today i1
is '"tirely different.
Recently a nationally known car
toonist in his regular Sunday comic
section sketched some views of North
Carolina. These were taken froir
coast to the mountains, and in thr
mountain section he showed a moun
taineer's cabin on the side of a steer
hill, with the forest coming dowr

MUTUAL EXCHANGE
OF VALUE TO FARMER
Mutual farm exchanges as operated
in a number of North Carolina coun
ties have great value- sinfl moiJ <f
them should be organized ant! V;
whole family welded into a state as
j sociation or organization. l;clk vts J.
W. Johansen, extension economist at
State College.
Mr. Johnson says there are sonic
j 50 county mutual exchanges now in
; operation. They* are simply ymall co
I operative buying and selling organi
zations owned and operated by the
'? farmers themselves and incorporated
! under the Mutual Exchange Act of
' North Carolina. Under this type of
set-up, the farmers are permitto-1 by
i law to collectively pool their farm
i products for the purpose of ass< mb
liing, grading, processing, packaging,
advertising and selling the products
j to the best advantage. The Act also
! permits the associated farmers to buy
! their supplies collectively at whole
' sale prices.
j This volume purchasing and sell
ing has saved the farmers of the
State considerable money in recent
years so much so that a number of
county farm agents who have or
ganized such exchanges have been the'
targets of attacks by certain business
interests which have disguised their
attacks under the head of saving
taxes. There is one exchange, says
Mr. Johnson, now in its second year
i which will save the fanners of the
county for 1932 between ?! 5.000 and
$30,000 in fertilizer costs alone. An-W
other mutual exchange did a volume
of business amounting to $375,000 for H
its farmers in 1931. The bulk of this
business amounting to $225,000 was
from farm products sold for the mem
bership and $150,000 was for farm
supplies bought in pooled orders
"As the farmer sees his way to
to affiliate his local exchange with
the State Exchange and this in turn
affiliates with national marketing or
ganizations, the farmer will have an
improved outlet for his products,"
? Johansen believes.
with the best of water in the wc rld.
while within two miles of where (hat
cartoon was drawn, we venturp to
say, there was a slum section where
j conditions were much worse than in
! side the mountaineer's cabin.
The idea has gone abroad that
mountain people are victims of being
shut off from the rest of the world
and do not know how to improve the
? existing conditions around them. Of
? course, we, who live here k:-ov,. 'hat
i this is not true, and the b>'-t way to
convince the rest of the world is to
