REV. R. L. ALEXANDER

People Enjoying Daily Ser
mons ? Declared T o Be
Most Inspiring.
Rev. H. B. Dendy, Pastor of the
Weaverville Presbyterian church,
preached the first of a series of re
vival sermons at the Presbyterian
church here Sunday night.
Services were called off at the
other churches here in order that their
members might hear the Weaverville
pastor. The church was packed and
a number of persons were unaole to
hear the sermon because of lack 01
room.
The subject of his sermon was "The |
Cost of Revivals." The speaker liken
ed the people of this age to David,
whose head was turned because 01
his great strength and who, though
he knew he was wrong, counted the
number of fighting men under his
jurisdiction and found that he had
thirteen hundred thousands. The Lora
punished him for his act, giving him
one choice .out of three as to what
he and his people must suffer for
their wror.g doing in this act and
David chose the plagues which de
stroyed seventy thousand of his best
men. At this time the people are be

NEW BOOKS SHELVED
AT U.D.C. LIBRARY!
Sponsors of the Library tea which
was held at the U. D. C. library Sat- ,
urday afternoon are greatly pleased j
with the response made to their ap- j
. ii t~-\ fcJt22Vl. .Vir' ^Mn.ijfVTTnn'r- 1
were received and these will be plac
ed .on the library shelves for circu- .
lation.
There are new and old books on
many subjects, and all are considei
ed valuable additions to the present
collection which is one of the most
complete to be found in any library
of its size in the state.
The book fund had become exhaust
ed and no means was available to se
cure new books and it was in view
of this fact that the tea was field.
The library is serving a fine pur
pose in the community and has many
subscribers, but the income from the
subscriptions has not been sufficient
to care for the depreciation of books
on hand and to make purchases of
new ones and this is the only fund
the library has.
The people of the community are
invited to come in and get acquaint
ed. They will be surprised to find
such a splendid assortment of books
as will be found here.
EHRINGHAUS HEARD
BY CAPACITY CROWD
In his opening remarks here Friday
night Hon. John C. B. Eringhaus,
Democratic nominee for Governor
said, "A crowd like this would make
a sick Democrat well and any well
Republican sick." The speaker has
been worrying a bit over his health
lately since appendicitis is threaten
ing him.
During the course of his talk,
which was heard by a more-than-ca
pacity audience Mr. Eringhaus spoke
on the three essentials of good gov
ernment ? honesty, efficiency and
economy, placing considerable empha
sis on the latter. He said that while
the "state under Democratic admin
istration was reducing expenses 30
per cent, the national government
under Republican administration in
creased them 30 per cent."
In pointing out the differences in
operation between the two parties, he
stated that while Woodrow Wilson
^jwas President and the Nation was in
the throes of the World war he could
not find where one cent of the nation
'al funds had been misused. He re
called that under Republican admin
istration a tax levy on land of 22 1-2
cents was made to support the state
government. The 15 cents now on this
land will be removed at the next leg
islature, he stated.
During the past four years of
Democratic administration, Mr.
Eringhaus stated, the expenses of the
state have been reduced by 10 million
dollars. The National expenditure has
been increased by 6 million, he added,
and is being constantly increased.
"An ideal government must have
the welfare of the people at heart,"
he said by way of conclusion, "and
that is what we pledge you."
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. J. S. Silversteen.

OVER BRYSON CITY
A large crowd witnessed the foot
ball game played here Saturday be
tween the Brevard Blue Devils and
the Bryson City team, which end
ed in a score of 25 to 0 in favor of
the local team.
The two teams are pretty well
matched and the gaQje was rather
lively throughout. The Brevard boy?
scored two touchdowns in the first
half and one in the last. Price and
Morris starred.
The game was refereed by Harry
Clayton. Tony Trantham umpired
and Henry Erwin acted as headlines
man.
Of the six games played by the
Blue Devils they have won four, tied
one and lost one.
RAINPLAYEDHAVOC
WITH HALLOWE'EN
The inclement weather probably
had a great deal to do with unusual
quietness on Hallowe'en night. There
iwere a few who were not disposed to
be deprived of their fun making by
the weather and they proceeded to
carry out their little Mischievous
acts.
There have been no reports of auto- j
mobiles being set up on tops of tele
graph poles or buildings and not
many cats ? if any?were strung up
by their tails on clotheslines. Some
of the usual little pranks such as re- j
moving signs, ringing door bells, let
ting air out of automobile tires and j
similar things were done but to no
great extent.
Court House officials or. arriving
at the Court house Tuesday morning
found B. & B. Feed a'ud Seed Co.'s
big Eagle perched in the center of the
Court house door.
We are inclined to the opinion that
the weather was responsible for lack
of activity and not the fact that the
? spirit ot the occasion has diminished
any. X

CRITICISM OF THE
TRIBUNE EDITOR IS
NO EXCUSE FOR WET
Minister Say$ All Citizens
Know Asheville Papers Are
Not Supporting Robert R.
Reynolds*
J. K. HENDERSON.
The J3revard News, in reporting a
speech ,ff the Chairman of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee, says.
"He referred to an article in the
Tribune in which the statement is
made that the Asheville papers will
not support Bob Reynolds in his cam
paign for the Senate and said that
this statement was untrue. Comment
ing on the story regarding numerous
judgments against Reynolds, Mr,
Breese stated that the Editor of the I
Western Carolina Tribune had a {
string of judgments against him from I
one end of the state to the other."
Does this statement palliate ir. any |
degree the charges against Mr. Rey-j
nolds, or satisfy thinking Democrats I
that he is worthy of their support?)
It may satisfy those who are deter- j
mined to vote for any kind of charac
ter if he happens to be the party- 1
nominee. And it may serve as the j
"ounce of civic to sweeten the imagi- 1
nation" of some who are ashamed to ;
vote for such character, but feel that ,
they must because he is the nominee !
of their party. But men and women ?
who think for themselves know tha;
this statement has answered nothing
concerning Mr. Reynolds' character.
Only it is a tacit confession that the
charges against him are true.
Those who saw the article referred
to above know that the indictment
brought against the Asheville papers I
by the Tribune is, that they have neg- i
lected, or refused, to inform the vot- j
ers of North Carolina concerning the I
personal character of Robert R. Rey- '
nolds. He is accused of having three
wives. And a dozen judgments are j
cited as recorded against him in the 1
records of- the Buncombe County I
courts The contention is that the j
t nanBrs know this to be true, j

Says If Ai Smith Had Won In
1928 the Nation Would
Not Have Suffered So
i PRAISES ROOSEVELT AS
I ONE WHO HAS COURAGE
Mr, Galloway, Well Known In
County, Where He Was
Born And Raised.
An attempt to represent the Dem
ocratic party as an ally and a friend
of the Reds or Bolshevists is being
made because of a statement report
ed to have been made by leaders of
the Soviet government in which these
leaders approve of Roosevelt and hif-'
party, said Hon. Welch Galloway, of
Asheville, a former attorney and poli
tical leader in Transylvania county in
an address at the Court House Sat
urday night.
Commenting on the present admin
istration under President Hoover, Mr.
Galloway stated that he, like many
others, at one time thought a lot of
Mr. Hoover ? when he was running
around over the world as an engineer
of some note and later when he serv
ed as food administrator under Pres
ident Wilson and began to come into
Hie limelight. At that time nothing at
! was known of Hoover's party af
filiations ? it didn't matter then. But
even now people are still asking if
he has always been a Republican ? if
that is what he is. But now, Mr. Gal- j
loway thinks it would have been good
thing for the country if Alfred Smith ?
had gone into office. We would not
ha I been forced to endure such hard
times.
President Hoover has permitted the
"big business" <;f the nation to get
control cfl the affairs, the speaker
said, and has played the part of the
"tin soldier." especially when he sign- j
ed the tariff bill under pressure of j
Mr. Gundy and other big interest? i
who had "contributed so extensively !
to Hoover's campaign fund." This ta

_ The Franklin boys are scrappers of

ing to make a try for it.
The public is urged to hunt up the
ticket sellers and buy a ticket for the

port, if they are to continue to offer

State Government During

When Herbert Hoover took up hit
duties as President of the United
States one of the great problems con
fronting' him was __to collect money
from foreign nations which had been
loaned to them by President Wilson.
Efforts were made by foreign nations
to have these debts cancelled, bat the
President refused to accede to these
demands. Then there followed the
collapse of the monetary system of
several of these nations and in the
wake of this terrific upheavel our
own nation was faced with one of the
most terrible crises in its history,

I president Hoover had to deal when

USE STEErrOGRIND
CANE FOR MOLASSES
Polks laugh at the methods once em
ployed in various agricultural pur
suits of centuries ago ,when the oJ.i
steer played an important role in all
farm activities. But, according to J.
H. Morgan of Old Toxaway, the steer
isn't sucn a laughing matter after all.
He and Mr. A-'ery Rice had some
thing on the order of a contest re
cently while grinding sorghum. Mr
Morgan used a steer in his grinding
; and Mr. Rice employed an 18 year
