During all these years it has never missed an issue nor changed its publication day. It has continually used its influence for the progress and prosperity of the county and town, and will hereafter be found strenuously advocating improvements and betterments. It wants the name of ^very householder in Tran sylvania county on its list of sub scribers, and there is no valid reason why any citizen should not join its baud of readers—your children need it if you do not. * Our campaign subscribers to the number of 200 will be drop ped from the books next week unless we hear from them to the contrary. We earnestly hope that some will remain with us as permanent subscribers. There is no valid reason why every democratic voter in this county should not take his county paper. The price next year will be fl.25. 65 cts for six months; 35 cts for 3 months, and the price must be paid in advance in order to com ply with the postal laws.

He did all he could for the whole Demo cratic ticket, from the highest to the least important office. He was followed by Mr. Felix Brnnot, whose oratorical ability was not unknown to some in his audience. He referred in a hnmorons veiji to some of the statements of the pre vious sj^eaker and nsed some tell ing arguments as reasons for the support he intended to give the Re publican candidates. He is espe cially to be congratulated on his self possession and good humor in the face of a considerable demon stration from some of his political opponents. Miss Emma Brannock followed, advising those who as pired to a prosperity of taters and gravy rather than bacon and corn bread to be sure to vote for Taft. Miss Mary Kirkendall and Mr. Jones followed these humorous ad dresses with a more or less serious presentation of the aims and pur poses of the Prohibition Party, and they w'ere given close and respect ful attention throughout. The campaign closed with the singing of I)ixie by the Democratic party but as only one or two knew* the words, the chorus was hardly a success. Ballots of both the old parties had been kindly provided by the officials and the election was con ducted according to law as nearly as possible. The office was used as voting place and voters were per mitted to enter two at a time. They were checked off on the registra tion list (Mr. Jones’s roll) and then allowed to vote. Ballots were counted as soon as possible and the count showed a landslide for Bry an. The vote was Democratic 57; Republican 18; Prohibition 9. DEATH OF MRS. M. A. BRiCE. Editor Sylvan Valley News: Election day was a tempestuous day at Brevard Institute. As sev eral girls said, society rivalry was not a circumstance to it. It was announced early in the day that the real election was to be in the chapel in the afternoon, though the country would be ex pected to ratify the result in the election booths everywhere. So there was more or less discussion all the morning, but at noon Miss Williams joined with the Democrats in locking the Republicans in the parlor, where they were holding a caucus. A jumping rope had been found to be rather unsatisfactory as a means of holding them in. After an interruption of an hour given to some utterly unimportant recitations, the whole school came together in the chapel and a typi cal political meeting was in prog ress for another hour. The Repub licans were late coming in with their speakers and after keeping everybody waiting as long as they wanted them to wait, they marched in led by a band of three musicians all provided with haircomb instru ments. This started a Democratic procession before the program of the afternoon was entere<J upon. The first speaker was Mr. Cole man Galloway, whose fluency and power surprised his friends, much A special to the Charlotte Ob server from Marion of Nov. 1, con tains the following account of the death of Mrs. M. A. Brice, a lady well known to many people in this community, Mrs. Brice being the mother of Mrs. Robert Deaver of Selica: “Mrs. M. ,A. Brice, of Shelby, died here at Hotel Fleming yester day evening at 5:30, under very distressing circumstances. She reached here Friday afternoon on train No, 12 from Askeville on her way to Shelby. The train was an hour late and she failed to make connection and was obliged to lie over. She was taken ill on the train and was taken to the hotel and a physician was hurridly call ed in and all the attention that the hotel proprietor could give was given her. Her relatives were no tified of her illness and her son-in- law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Jenkins of Shelby, and Mr. and Mrs. James C. McBrayer, of High Shoals came at once to the bedside. Her condition became worse and she died at 5:30 yesterday after noon. Her remains were taken to Shelby this afternoon for inter ment, which will take place to morrow. Her death was caused by the passage of gall stones from the li’^r, as stated by the physician. How to Treat a Sprain.

When the surgeou who happened to be spendins a night at Bushby Inn had set the bro^n leg of the weather beaten stranger who was the chief vic tim of an automobile accident the patient looked up at him an:^:ious!y “See here, doc.” he said in a husky Toice, “I haven’t got rauc'a of any money. VTould you take out your fee In trade?” “Yes, I guess so,” said the si:rgeou checrfully. “What is your trade?” “Well, I’ve got a number of things I can do soon as I’m on my fc“et again,” said the patient. “I cr.n hang window blinds, or I can put on light ning rods, or I can play the cornet, and I can do ’em all lii'st rate, if I’m the one to say it. doc.”—Youth’s Com panion. Women Oyster Gatherers. The work of oyster collectlug and culture is most unsuitable for v.-omen. but In France, owing to its tedious na turo, it does not appeal to men. Often from an early hour in the morning till late into the evening the women are standing up to their knees in water, with a strong sun beating down on them. The result Is that never a year passes without some of them going mad and having to be hurried away to the asylums. The work is well paid, as, indeed. It ought to be, while in the case of the few who own beds the profits are Targe, and small fortunes are quickly amassed. Catarrh Cannot Bo Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, Hs they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mu cous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was pre scribed by one of the best physicians in this county for years and is a reg ular prescription. It is composed of the best tonic known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting di rectly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect ccinbination of the two in gredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials free, F. J. Cheney & Co., Props., Toledo, O.

Savings Talks Every person has a desire to share in the increase of wealth, bnt many want greater prosperity than is afforded by the rate of interest paid by the banks. The news papers carry many schemes that promise great returns from few dollars invested, which influence the small saver to with draw his earnings from the banks to invest. We advise cau tion on the part of all who contemplate such a move,. There R are only a few exceptional cases ^vhere small sums are invested safely, and which pay more than a reasonable interest return. The bank is a convenient place for keeping your savings; it is a safe place for funds, and the interest rate is consistent with safety. Your money earns a stated amount of interest; this is paid at regular times. The bank stands behind the guar antee of four per c*nt interest. Brevard Banking Co, BR.EVARD, N. C. PILES - ITISTTJLA.

C., April 22, 1904. Drs. Thornton & Minor: Gentlemen—1 had suffered about three years with Fistula, when friends who had been successfully treated by you advised me to go to you for treatment. I am happy to state that your treatmejit of my case was success ful and in every way satisfactory, and now, after a lapse of eighteen years, there have been no symptoms of a re turn of the disease. I shall be grate ful to the friends who advised me to go to you for treatment, and can con scientiously recommend your method as a safe, scientific and satisfactory one. Very truly your friend, W. N.

Thornton & Minor: Gentlemen—I suffered with piles and contraction for about twenty years, and during that time tried al most every remedy that was recom- mendedy but the piles gradually grew worse. The fall of 1S05 I went to your office in St. Louis, Mo., for treatment, and in three weeks I left for home a well man. One cannot make a mis take in placing their case in the hands of Drs. Thornton & Minor, as they are gentlemen of the highest type and phy^ians of the greatest honesty and skill, and will guarantee a cure or no pay, and you don’t have to pay till you are cured. J. W.

Thornton & Minor: Gentlemen—I am always willing to help any one in the fix I was with Piles, Fistula and Fissure. I can say to all who might be in the same fix, go right to their office and be cured, for I had that troublesome disease for about twenty years. I got so that I could not do my own work and it seemed that my mind was affected at times. When I would go to stool the blood would come out in a stream about the size of a knitting needle. I lost so much blood that sometimes I would almost as soon have been dead as liv ing. I saw an advertisement in the Commercial Appeal, which is printed in Memphis, Tenn. I wrote to them and they answered me at once and I corresponded with them about a year before I went. The only thing I hate is that I did not go sooner. They wrote me that they had a branch office in St. Louis, Mo., and could cure me there as well as in Kansas City, Mo. I wrote them that I would start on the 19th of September and for them to meet me at St. Louis, Mo. So I start ed on the 19th of September and I ar rived at St. Louis, Mo., on the 22d of September. About* an hour after I jjot there Dr. Minor met me and the doc tors examined me and told me that my case was a serious one, but they could cure me. I have had more pain in one action of the bowels before I went there, than I had from their treatment. I took treatment for a lit tle over three weeks and they said I could go home. I was walkinsr about all the time I was being treated. I ate just anything I wanted. I could not ask anybody to be more kind to me than they were while I was with them. When I came home I weighed one hundred and forty pounds; when writ ing this testimonial I weighed one hundred and sixty-one pounds, and feel like I am twenty-five years younger than I did when I left home to be ti^ated. Yours respectfully, G. R. COOK, General Merchandise. I take pleasure in endorsing all that others say regarding the Thorn ton & Minor treatment. After 15 years of suffering from piles and ul ceration I feel that four weeks at their sanitarium has cured me. Enquiries will be cheerfully answered. J. J- MINER, > Editor Sylvan Valley News.
