U$t Saturday Proves That u«r People Favor

inner on the Grounds-Most Delighiful Weatlier-An
Immense Throng of Happy People, and a Day of
Eiiiovment to Be Long Remembered.
the crowd here
Saturday was a big day for
Brevard. There was jj:athered
here the largest crowd since the
sumnierof two'years a^, when
the democratic state candidates
we h6re cainpaigning. The
Tains on the days just before the
mass meeting had put the ground
outof commission, and the farm
ers were thus enabled to come
in force, Saturday itself was all
that could be asked from a weath
er standpoint; there did not have
to be any dodging? of showers as
so often happensrin the summer.
BREVARD BRASS BAND
Until the arrival of Mr. Pat
terson the Brevard Brass Band
held the fort and was “the big
gest thing on earth.” Seajted in
chairs on the green in front of
the fountain, it played many stir
ring melodies, wfciile the crowd
encircled them in dense w’all,
held by the attraction that never
fails. The band has certainly
made good and gone beyond exv
pectations. It rose to the occa
sion Saturday and furnished no
small part of the day’s entertain
ment. *
MR. PATTERSON ARRIVES
The signal for the beginning of
the day’s real business was the
arrival of W. H. Patterson in an
automobile. The crowd gather
ed in the court house, tilled it and
overflowed. Nor was the audi
ence confined to the male sex.
^^any ladies manifested their in*
terest in the county’s prosperi
ty by coming out to the meeting.
THE SPEAKING
About 12 o’clock the speaking
hegan. Mayor Breese in a brief
speech introduced Mr. Prtterson,
^'ho explained the whole railroad
Situation, and made clear what he
intended to do and what the peo
ple might expect. The proposi
tion has already been set forth
several times in this paper. In
hrief, it is this: The Greenville
^nd Knoxville railroad has been
^mpleted as far as Cleveland

mountains, with the ultimate in
tention of extending it inio Ten
nessee, to connect w it h the Knox
ville, Sevierville and Easiern,
whose present terminus is Se-
viervllle. If Transylvania will
vote a bond issue of ^100,00%4
this county is assured of hav
ing the railroad as far as'Bre
vard. Mr. Patterson expressed
his belief that the line wpuld be
extended to Knoxville, basing his
opinion on the attitude of busi
ness men in that city. He ex
plained something of the cost of
railroad building* saying that the
$100,000’asked for from this coun
ty would not build the road more
than five miles through the moun
tains.
A BUSINESS PROPOSITION
Mr. Patterson’s speech w^as de
void of rhetorical display. It
was simply a plain., straight talk,
without fringes, and he made no
effort to arouse the people' by
making extravagant promises or
indulging in hazy speculation.
He was cautious in all his state
ments, evidently not believing
that Transylvanians belong to'
those Americans who “like to be
humbugged.” The most extrav
agant—or seemingly extravagant
—utterance of his whole speech
was a prophecy^that with this
new railroad in ten years the pop
ulation of this county would be
doubled;^
Mr. Patterson assured those
present that the county should
lose i|othing by voting the bonds.
I^is company was ready and anx
ious to begin work as soon as the
result of the election was-known,
and if favorable, trains will be
running in less than two years.
If there was any failure on his
part he would reimburse the
county for the^cost of holding the
election—but -there would be no
failure as he was ready to begin
work at once and push it to an
early completion.
HENDERSONVILLE NQT IN IT.
Mr. Patterson said that he was
asked the otheitday^ by a Hender
sonville mah, ‘"‘When are you go
ing to hold your Hendersoi^ville
His reply was, “Nev
er. ” Hendersonville, he said, on
a previous occasion had been al
most willing to offer the enor
mous sum of $2o,OdO to get the
railroad there! He had no in
tention of giving them a second
chance. '
Mr. Patterson ^opened his
speech by saying t^t he was in
haste to get home ip. ordeir that
he might be next d^y in his Sun
day school, over which he had
presided for fifteen years. He
closed- by calling for a show of
hands on the railroad question.
“I want everybody who wants
the railroad to raise his band.”
Instantaneously nearly all the
hands in that assembly went up—
not half Way—but boldly and em
phatically. It was a fine display
of fingers that stayed ,awhile in
the air as if grasping at an op
portunity.
RESPONSES BY OUR CITIZENS
W. P. Whitmire, who acted as
chairman of the meeting, made a
short talk himself, and called on
some of the leading citizens pres
ent to express their views. J. L.
Bell earnestly advocated the
measure, saying that it was the
dream of his young manhood,'for
whose realization he had labored
for years. Welch Galloway said
that when the election was held
grounds, where dinner ' was
served. The refreshment, com
mittee had made preparation for
entertaining the visitors. Lunch
es in paper bags were distributed
and lemonade was served in
abundance.
While the people were enjoying
themselves, those who had the
petitions were doing business,
and many signatures were made.
All the indications Saturday
pointed to a vote that will carry
the bond issue for the railroad.

who had voted in favor of it.
Now he was not ashamed of his
vote. W. W. Zachary reminded
the people that when it was de
sired to run .the road on farther
up the river, Brevard had lent
its aid, even though its own inter
ests were not directly involved.
R. L. Gash proved by - plain fig
ures that the tax-paying enter
prises which had been brought
into this county by the present
railroad more than paid the inter
est on the bonds. T. C. Hender
son spoke warmly in favor of the
projected road, telling what ben
efits the county schools had de
rived from special taxes levied on
the line which runs through the
county and which is paying tax
for every mile of its length J.
M. Hamlin was also enthusiastic
in support of the measure. Re-
fering to a statement of Mr. Pat
terson’s that while not an old
man he was a grandfather, Mr.
Hamlin said, “If he who is a
grandfather expects to see this
road completed, what may I, who
am not a grandfatlier, expect to
see?” B. J, Wilson said that he
came down to the meeting de
termined to vote against it, but
after hearing what Mr. Patter
son had to say he professed con
version. D. Lfc English made a
strong talk in favor of the rail
road. H. P. Moore had some
criticism to make on higlr taxes,
etc., but declared that he was
“teeth and toe nails for the rail
road.” The objection of high
taxation was met by different
speakers, who showed that while
taxes were higher, it was mucb
easier to make the wherewithal
to meet them. ^
The indoor meeting-was mark
ed by the practical unanimity of
the speakers and close attention
on the part of tho audience
When the speaking was over,
the people repaired to the

Saturday, June 4, was a day of so
cial festivity with the Baptists of
Brevard. It had been decided to
have a picnic on that day, and dur
ing the week dodgers ^ere printed
and sent out to the members
asking their attendance. The re
sponse was hearty, and quite a
arge number assembled at tjie
church about 11 a. m.
In the forenoon there was an in
door exercise consisting of address
and music. Several short and in
teresting talks were made. W. P.
Whitmire, T. C. Henderson, C. M.
Gallamore," C. H. Robinson, C. L.
Osborne and J. M. Hamlin spoke on
matters touching the life and pros
perity of the church. The expres
sions of good will and love to the
pastor ”were strong and this warm
appreciation is, we believe, emi
nently deserved. Prof. Rogers,
w^ho presided, called on Mr. Ow’en.
who responded in his characteris
tically brief and happy manner.
The congregation then adjourned
to the neighboring gre^en where
table cloths were spread on the
grass and on them were set the
tempting contents of numerous
baskets. The best things of many
excellent cooks were represented.
The feast over, the Brevard Band
standing under the trees, gave an
open air concert, and showed the
result of good practice and the in
spiration of a good meal by render
ing some of their best pieces.
The rest of the afternoon was
spent at will by the picnickers.
Socially the gathering was a success
and such outsiders as happened to

An article in the News of recent
date on the subject of names Tor
country homes has already borne
fruit. Mrs. L. D. Scruggs was in to
see us the other day and said that
she had decided to call her home in
South Brevard “Oak Hill Cottage,”
and that Mrs. L. R. Scruggs had
named then* place “Walnut Spring
Farm.’> These are pretty names,
and names always add to the indi
viduality of the place.
