BRilVARD, NOETI CAEOLINA, JULY 8.1910.
NUMBER*28
The 4th of
Great
July
was a
in Brevard
The W. 0. W. Must^s Congratulated on Its Success
in Getting Out the Crowd.
Two Thousand Dinners Senred-More than Three Thousand
people on the Stredts-Good Order and a Good time for
Everybody-ldeal Weather for a Holiday Outing.
It was a great day. They came
from all sections of the county,
and from all along the railroad
from Asheville to Lake Toxaway.
•‘Largest crowd ever seen in Bre
vard and the most orderly,” was
heard to drop from the lips of
many. There were probably
1.800 visitors here, and Brevard
turnGd out en masse, making
about 3,000 people on the streets,
and not a drunk man!
The Woodmen were conspicu
ous by their badges and by the
dummy axes they carried. They
were the "uests of the occasion
and were the favorites of the several anecdotes
railroad. Everybody wanted to
hear about the railroad and ev
erybody seemed for it. If there
were any not for it they kept
quiet.
The speaker enlarged upon the
many benefits that would result
from building the road, and the
certainty that it will soon be
built, if ttie county votes the
bonds.
Judge Murphy of Asheville
followed in his happy and force
ful style. He held the attention
of his hearers, * and convulsed
i
them with laughter by relating
crowd. The local lodge is to be
congratulated upon its excel-
lent managecQent of the occason
and for the splendid dinner serv
ed to the immense number pres
ent Everybody seemed happy
and to have received an ample
supply of good things to eat.
A game of ball was played at
10:30 and 2:30. both of which were
well attended and much enjoyed.'
About twelve o’clock the Bre
vard Band began playing on the
court house grounds and the im
mense throng began to assemble.
Soon afterwards the first speak
er, Judge McSwain of Greenville,
S. C., was introduced by W. H.
Grogan, Jr., Master of Ceremo
nies, and delivered a fine address
couched in language happily suit
ed to the occasion. He was in
I
tine spirits and his hearers par
took of his good humor. He
spoke of the good being accom
plished by the Woodmen of the
World uplifting humanity and
caring for the needy of the living
and the widows and orphans of
the dead.
But he struck a chord that vi
brated through the entire crowd

came here doubting they went

iThe Brevai^d Brass Band made
a host of new friends and pleased
anew its old ones, by playing a
great many pieces for the enter
tainment of the crowd. The boys
are becoming quite ‘proficient,
and are a drawinff card for the
town. They deserve well from
our people.
The weather was ideal. After
nearly a month of daily showery
Monday was almost the only ex
ception—it waited until the exer
cises were all over and most of
the crowd had departed for their
homes, then it rained enough to
wet the bunting that had served
to decorate the town in honor of
the day. Everybody went home
satisfied and happy and wnll, we
are assured, be ready to respond
to the next invitation to visit our
county-seat and .partake of its
hospitality. The News is very
thankful to the thousands who,
by their presence and orderly
conduct, helped to make July 4
such a pronounced success
Come again, one and all!

ROSE’S CLOSE CALL.
With Less Than Half a Minute to
Sp^re, Man Is Reprieved.
With less than half a minute to
spare, Arthur Rcrse was saved from
the electric chair at Trenton, N. J.,
by a stay signed by Judge Min turn
on a moving train and thrown from
the window to the condemned man’s
lawye?.
Rose was strapped in the chair and
the electrician was 'waiting, his hand
on the switch, for the second signal to
throw 2,100 volts through the body of
the wife murderer, when the cry
“Stop! Stop! A stay!” rang through
the death chamber.
Never in the history of this state,
probably never in the history of the
country, has a life been saved by a
reprieve in a manner so sensational
or by such a narrow margin. Had
there been' the slightest slip any
where along the line Rcrse’s lawyer
would have found his stay of no use.
James West. 20 years ‘ old. was
burned to death and his brother, Ed
ward, 18 years old, was seriously in
jured as. a result of a fire which de
stroyed a boarding house at Hatties
burg. Miss. Latter leaped from the
second story window, breaking sev
eral bones and probably injurTng him
self Internally. The charred body of
his brother was later found in the
ruins. Other inmates of the house
escaped without injury.
A gasoline launch containing four
men caught fire and sunk a mile and
a half oft Addison street, Chicago,
when the gasoline tank exploded. All
the occupants .were rescued by the
occupants of another launch which was
a quarter of a mile distant when the
exploslc^ occurred.
