BREVARD INSTITUTE NOTES
The Lanier society gave a recep
tion to its new members last Satur
day night. A very interesting pro
gram^ was rendered by the old
members, assisted by Mrs. Reece,
who gave a delightful rendition of
“When Brown Had His Hair Cut.”
The Misses Edwards and Brothers
gave recitations, and musical selec-
tios were given by Misses Johnson,
Galloway, Cline and Frank King.
The opening number was a chorus
called “The Society Flag” by the
full chorus of the society. Games
■were played and light refreshments
■were served. The faculty and a
few friends of the performers were
invited, and all spent a delightful
evening.
Mr. Welch Galloway has been
giving practical talks to the stu
dents of Miss Poindexter’s business
classes. These talks are exceed
ingly interesting and are greatly
appreciated.
Principal C. H. Trowbridge at
tended the annual Methodist con
ference at High Point and was ab
sent four days.
The Conference Fund Committee
of the Y. W. C. A. will entertain
their friends Thanksgiving night.
The continued fine weather has
been favorable to outdoor sports
and a number of baseball games
have been played. Tennis is also
in high favor.
We have recently received a very
generous box of bedding and cloth
ing from the ladies of the Home
Mission Sociey of the Central
church at Asheville. It was a very
welcome gift, for which we are cer
tainly grateful.
A number of new students are
expected next month, several com
ing in to take up special work in
the various vocational depart
ments. The first term is drawing
near its close and final examina
tions for that term are now in
progress, and will occupy the whole
week. The second term will open
Tuesday, December 2nd.
JACK IS STILL ALIVE
I received a wireless from the
editor of the News last week which
reminds me that auld friends are
not forgotten. Many thanks.
Mrs. Julian Justus, who recently
underwent an operation at the
Meriwether hospital, is at home
doing nicely, we are glad to note.
V. E. Blythe, of the state test
farm, is now winding up shredding
at the farm. He says they have
corn and stover enough to stand off
a good sized panic.
A Mr. Smathers of Haywood is
moving to the old Orr place on
Boilston creek. We are informed
he is a good blacksmith, hence is
one of the doctor’s enemies.
Mr. Charles English of this place
is moving to Hendersonville to
take advantage of the school privi
leges offered at that place.
The public school at this place is
progressing nicely under the man
agement of Messrs. Briggs and
Nicholson, together with the able
management of Mr. Henderson, the
county superintend.‘lit.
W. D. Glazener informed us that
skunk hides have dropped to two
cents apiece on account of dead
republicans. Wondor what effect
Transylvania democratic hides will
have on the leather market. Come
across, pard; we are in the dark.
W. J. Bryan has suggested that
all and vice-presi
dents and ex-speakers be admitted
to the floor of the both houses to
discuss all important questions but
nof be allowed to vote. Wonder
wat he is going to do with his ora
torical powers?
J. M. Patton of Hosman has
moved his oVA piivco near
here and is now chasing the billy
goat for W. A. Baynard for a live
lihood. Hurrah for Bud.
Swsntee Drake from Enon is now
preparing to corner the fur market
av this place. He has on hand
seven ’possum and one coon hide.
Roping to do better next time,
ajxl thanking the editor for his pa
tience, I am, yours truly,
Jack Stephens.
WORI ON RAIUfOAD
TO THE PiNK BEDS
ABOUT TWO MILES READY
FOR TIES AND RAILS
Pisgah Forest is Now on a Boom
and the Sound of Saw and
Hammer is Heard Daily.
MINIATURE COUNTY FAIR
The Carr Lumber Company is
rapidly pushing their work at Pis
gah Forest, and in just a few more
days that town will be so trans
formed that even the oldest resi
dent would scarcely recognize the
place.
The present plans call for a large
band-saw mill, eighteen or twenty
miles of railroad, from Pisgah
Forest to the Pink Beds, a ten room
office building and about fifty cot
tages.
The work of grading the rail-
rairoad was begun at the station
last week and already a first class
road, bed has been laid out and
graded for about two miles, going
up the river. This road will not
exceed three per cent at any place,
and the track, bridges, etc., are all
to be permanent, in other words
the whole road will be up to the
standard of any first class railroad.
This fact is very significant.
Early next week the first of three
Climax engines will arrive from the
factory in Pennsylvania, running
on its own steam. The other two
will be shipped some time later.
Immediately upon the arrival of
the engine a large crew of men will
be put to work laying the track.
At present a saw mill is running
all the time cutting cross ties for
the new road. The track crew will
begin at the siding at Pisgah For
est and work up the river.
While the grading crew is get
ting on so well another large crew
of men and a number of teams are
busily engaged in building a large
pond down by the river, just above
the Davidson River church. This
pond is to be used in washing the
saw logs before going into the mill
—this being found necessary in all
band-saw mills. The saw mill w^ill
be located near this pond, the rail
road passing at this point.
Work is to begin at once on the
office and cottages, and a large
number of carpenters have been
engaged to push this part of the
business. A ten room office build
ing will be erected just opposite
the Southern station, while the old
barn that has been standing there
so long will be removed, a large
boarding house to take its place.
When all this work is done Pis
gah Forest will be quite a town,
and already they are beginning to
talk about town officers down there.
This county is exceedingly fortu
nate in getting such enterprises to
come here, and it is to be hoped
that nothing will interfere with the
plans of this new concern.

An ideal country fai", staged in^
miniature in a space 48 by 30 feet,
together with many modern ideas
relating to fairs, will be a leading
contribution of the Cornell Uni
versity college of agriculture and
experiment station to the fifth
national corn exposition in Colum
bia next January. The college is
under the directorship of Dean L.
H. Bailey, who has long been promi
nent in affairs pertaining to agri
cultural development. Dean Bai
ley is greatly interested, in this ex
hibit and is giving close attention
to the plans which are being formu
lated by the special committee in
charge.
The college authorities have de
cided to make the feature of the
New York state exhibit at the ex
position an ideal country fair, and
in pursuance of this purpose, a con
ference of various persons inter
ested in county fairs of a more ad
vanced order, has been called at
the college. Through this confer
ence and by correspondence with
other fair authorities throtlfehout
the country, the most progressive
ideas obtainable will be selected
and Tollowed in the construction of
this exhibit, which will be educa
tional in purpose. Representatives
of the college will accompany the
exhibit lo explain the entire set
ting, arrangement, e^c., tell the
reasons for each feature or change
from the ordinary regime, and to
answer questions as to fairs in gen
eral.
An exhibit of this character is
something quite novel in appear
ance, as well as of significant in
terest and value for every visitor.
Persons interested in improving
their local fairs will hasten to give
a thorough study and examination
to this remarkable exhibit.
Dean Bailey has some interesting
ideas of his own about the signifi
cance of the country fair. Recent
ly he outlined a number of changes
he would make in the fair as ordi
narily conducted, and, continuing,
he said: “In other words, I should
like to see, in this single experi
ment, a complete transfer from the
commercial and ‘amusement’ phase
to the educational and recreation
phase. I should like to see the
county fair made the real meeting
place for the country folk. I should
make a special effort to get the
children The best part of the fair
would be the folks, and not the
machines or cattle, although these
are important. I should make the
fair one great picnic and gathering-
place and field-day, and bring to
gether the-best elements that are
concerned in the development of
country life.”

The following clipping in regard
to the poultry exhibit of S. B. King
of Summerville at the Charleston
Fair will be of interest to many
people in this county. Mr. King is
the son of Mr. P. S. King, of Bre
vard, and is naking good in the
poultry business.
“The poultry exhibit continues to
evoke the praise of everyone that
sees it and practically every visitor
to the grounds inspects the many
ine fowls on exhibition. Mention

Iftors of poultry. One of the

On Tuesday evening, December
3rd, at 7:30 o’clock, the ballot box
in the News Popular Voting Con
test will be closed for the second
count for leadership in one of the
most interesting events which has
been pulled off in Brevard. In this
contest the candidate who has made
tne greatest gain since the first
count of a month ago will receive
$10 in gold as a prize. No matter
what your standing may have been
at the conclusion of the first count,
if you make a greater gain over
that count than other candidate
you will win the $10. For instance,
if you had but 35 votes in the count
made November 6th, and you made
a larger gain than the leader, you
will get the money. If you make a
gain of 15,000 or 20,000 or 25,000.
and the leader in the first count
makes a gain of only one less than
you, you will have the $10 cinched
for yourself. So get busy and
bring all the votes ])Ossible between
now^ and Tuesdav, December 3rd.
A little exertion and hustling
among the contestants is what is
is required to win, and the one who
is the most active and who uses
the best judgment and business
sense in her canvass is the one who
will land the prize. It will come
without the expenditure of a penny
to the one who captures the prize
but eternal hustling will be the
price of success. Are you going to
win it? Or are you going to take
a vacation and let the other girl
beat you to it? And probably by a
very few votes at that?
Whatever number of votes you
may have in the second count will
be placed to your credit in the final
count which will be made about
January 1st, but if you make the
greatest gain now you will land the
$10 which is offered as a special
prize at the count on Tuesday, De
cember 3rd. And all the votes cast
during the entire contest will de
termine xyho is to get the piano—
these special counts cutting no fig
ure in the grand final round up.
There is nobody so far ahead, ac
cording to the first count, but what
a little hustling on the part of the
other contestants would place them
right up among the leaders. New
subscribers are what count the
most in this contest, because for
every new subscriber brought in,
the person bringing it in is entitled
to 600 votes, and 500 votes is given
for each renewal, while 400 votes
are given with each back subscrip
tion.
Bear in mind that the ballot box
will be closed at 7:30 o’clock Tues
day evening, December 3rd. Be
sure and have all your votes in by
that time, so you will have a fair
chance to show what your standing
is. As soon as the ballou box is
closed the count will be made and
the result announced as quickly as
it is known.
And remember the special bonus
offers made in connection with this
contest:
For every 7 new subscriptions,
10.000 extra votes, a total of 14,200
votes.
For every 7 renewals, 8,000 extra
votes, a total of 11,500 votes.
For every 7 back subscriptions,
6.000 extra votes, a total of 8,800.
Subscriptions turned in for the
first count will not count for these
honnaes. They will count just the
same for the piano at the final
count, but these bonuses are good
only on subscriptions brought in
from now until the offer is with
drawn.
i For every 40 merchant’s coupons
brought to this ©ffice and counted
by the publisher or his assistant we
will give 5(>0 extra votes, a total of
1,500 votes.
Remember the $10 in gold goes
to the ones who makes the greatest
gain in the number of votes.
