ONLY NEWSPAPER IN TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY A HOME I*AI*!eR for JIOME PEOPIjE—ALL HOME PRINT VOLTJME-XYIII. BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY. JUNE 13. 1913. NDMBER-24 JACK BRUTON CAPTURED Jack Bruton, colored, alias Jack Berry, the alleged slayer of Ella Austin and Sasie Bell Corpeninar, bdth colored, was canght near Bre vard last Sunday by Champ Logan, a colored deteciive, and was taken to Asheville and lodged in the Bun combe county jail Sunday after noon. Logan is said to have had con siderable trouble in making the arrest, having to shoot Bruton through the left hand with a shot gun. After he was shot the al leged murderer ran into a house where he locked himself up. Lo gan, w^ith the aid of friends, forced an entrance and placed handcuffs on the negro. Bruton appeared to be little con cerned over his capture and re fused to talk about the killing or where he had been since the crime. It is thought he has been. hiding near Brevard for several days, as it is understood he has relatives in this county. » The double murder w’hich Bruton is charged with occurred at a negro dance hall on French Broad avenue in Asheville on May 21, at which there were scores of negroes. Bru ton is said to have gone to the dance hall with the Corpening woman, and after their arrival at the dance hall he is said to have asked his companion not to entt;r. She is said to have made an at tempt to enter over his protest •when he shot her with a pistol, killing h»r almost insta.ntly. The other negro woman was at the counter in the dance hall and was struck with a stray buljet which killed her instantly. At the coro ner’s inquest which was held June 1, the jury returned a verdict to the effect that both negroes met their deaths a_t the bands of Bruton, ANNOUNCEMENT AND REQUEST ETOWAH ITEMS A very beautiful wedding was solemnized at the home of Rev W.

The executive committee o€ the Transylvania Baptist Association held an important meeting in the^ Brevard Baptist church, June 9, 1913. Three pastors were present to aid in 3ome matters. In carrying out the w-ill of the association to elect an associational evangelist for the months of July, August and September, they elect ed Rev. H. H. Honeycutt, a native of Madison county, N. C., but re cently from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he has been studying for two years. He comes well recommended and well prepared, having done such work in Alabama during vacation. It w'ill not be possible for him to hold meetings in iall our Baptist churches, but the executive com mittee is very anxious that a good meeting shall be held this summer in every church. A number of the pastors have offered their services to the executive coajmittee to hold meetings where they are needed. So we, the executive committee, appeal to any pastor that has no arrangements for meetings and the deacons and members of any pas- torless churches to apply to us for a man to conduct a meeting, and we will send you one.

FREIGHT RATE CONTROVERSY Asserting that in their negotia tions with the legislative commis sion in regard to freight rates to North Carolina points they have acted in the best of taith, the presi dents of the railroads operating in North Carolina have addressed a letter to Mr. W. C. Dowd, editor of the Charlotte News, giving a full history of the negotiations. The railroad presidents quote the full text of the agreement made w^ith the Ifegislative commission on February 26th and state that under it they made a proposition em bracing substantial rate reductions b^t which was not satisfactory't^ the commissioii. The commission then made a proposition which the railroads after careful study con cluded they could not possibly ac cept and they gave their reasons in full to the commission in writing. As the commission was not will ing to accept what the railroads offered and the railroads felt that they couid not accept the proposi tion of the commission, both' sides believing their positions correct, there was then an issue as to what was just. As the interstate com merce commission is the only tribunal with authority to decide such questions, ought not this issue, the railroad presidents ask, be sub mitted to it. In their letter to Mr. Dowd the railroad presidents prom ise if this question is submitted to the interstate commerce commis sion to co-operate in overv possible manner to expedite its hea.ring and to accept the commission's de cision, whatever it may l>e. with out appeal. , J. W. PLESS FOR COMRESS Only one case came before the recorder Monday morning, and quick disposition was made of it. Boyd Barton was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, to- wit, a razor. After hearing the evidence the recorder pronounced the defendant guilty and sentenced him to the county roads for two months. The defendant seemed to think the recorder was too gener ous, and decided to try his for tunes in a higher court. Appeal bond was fixed at $200. Probably. .

It looks now as if the iM>litlcal dial of the Tenth Congressional District were going to point to Mc Dowell county and ask her to lend one of her citizens to represent the district in congres.s. Throughout the district many of Congressman Gudger’s ' personal- and political friends have the feeling that he will not be nominated again. Hon. J. W. Pless has been spoken of many times for this and other po litical honors, but never before has the call beei^ so urgent, and from so many leading citizens. McDow ell will be honored in having the other counties of the district call upon her for a candidate and Mr. Pless’ numberless friends in Mc Dowell and elsewhere will await his final decision with much in terest. Years ago Mr. Pless was strongly urged to enter the race but he was not willing to do so. McDowell has never before, so far as we know, offered a candidate for con gress. Mr. Pless has been a hard worker for his party and his friends, but has steadfastly re fused anything for himself. He is well known in the district as a lawyer and speaker, and it is known that he has, for some time, been receiving the most urgent and complimentary calls from leading democrats outside of this county, while great numbers of democrats in McDowell are actually demand ing that he permit them a chance to bring him and McDowell county ^his high honor.—Editorial in Ma rion Progress.

BEHER BABIES CLEANING HOUSE IN WINTER Women who are worn out with the double burden of household work and a body that is suffering from the misery of disorders in the female generative system, are strongly urged to try the beneficial effect of DR. SIMMON’S SQUAW VINE COMPOUND. It is just the remedy they need to correct the internal disorder and put strength in the body to perform the duties of the household. It lightens the work by fitting the strength to the task. After a short conrse with this excellent restorative, work be comes a pleasure because health and sound physical conditions have taken the place of sickness and de- spondenc.

Macfie. adv In the distant future, when men, and especially wamen, will have become so civilized that they will do things right and at the proper time,, house-cleaning will be done in midwinter. Then is the time when the deadly germ is least ac tive, when the dust and dirt are less lively, and especially is it the best time to swat the fly. During the cold season the fly hibernates, but as spon as spring opens he gets busy. Every fly killed in winter means a million, more or less, flies next summer. The disease-bearing pests are at that time lying about in corneis, on the tops of door and window frames, and in closets. The broom will reach those win tering on the ceilings. This done thoroughly, there will be no propa gation of the early spring brood in the bouse. As the warm weather opens the screens are to be put on early. The house guarded, means should be taken to dispose of the outsiders. Two wavs of disposing of the latter are open—to catch the flies in traps, and to prevent their breeding by keeping stable manure and other rubbish covered. Incredible num bers of fiies are caught in the wire traps. The way to get rid of any nuisance is to give it a money value—and we import flies from Germany to utilize them for chick en feed. Why not use the very abundant home product? Chick ens require animal food to provide for their own sustenance as well as their egg product; and flies do very well. I3et this be understood, and let the housewife comprehend how large a supply may thus be Highly interesting and instruc tive and unlike anything ever held in this state i^'ill be the ^^better babies” contest of the Western North Carolina Fair, which will be held in A.slieville October 7-10. This contest will not be a “beauty show” in any sense of the word- Personality, parental popularity, persuasive dimples and cunning ways will not count against un compromising fignres representinf; pounds, inches and energy. The object of the content is not to dis play on array of beautifully curled locks and daintily arranged rib- bbns, but to stimilate the conserva tion of child life and raise the standard oft, health among the hu man race of North Carolii^.* The contest will be helcj in con- connection with the department to be conducted by the Health and Sanitary Board of Asheville. In view of the importance of this movement, the state board of health is considering the advis ability of leading its co-operation in order that the people of Western North Carolina might have an un excelled opportunity for acquiring additional information on the sub ject of child development. The details of the contest will be arranged and carried out by phy sicians familiar with the diseases of children and the examinations will cover questions of height, weight, circumference of chest and abdomen, symmetry, quality of skin and fat, muscular develop ment, condition of scalp, teeth and throat; in fact, every point on the anatomy of the would-be prize winners in which weakness or dis ease might lurk. The psychologi cal examinations will cover atten tion, disposition, energy, ocular and facial expression, etc. All examinations will be made on scientific lines and with all possible respect for the dignity of the parents and the safety and comfort of the children. The great value of the contest lies in the opportunity given parents to see a scientific, honest comparison between children of the same age and with practically the same environments and oppor tunities for physical development. Here may be studied the effects of different methods of feeding, sleep ing, outdoor life and other inter esting subjects, all of which more or less have to do with child devel opment. Many fairs of the west have adopted the “better baMes” fea ture with most gratifying results, as they have been conducted with out personal feeling and the many jealousies that unavoidably creep into a “beauty” contest. The weak points found in the examina tion of children are pointed out to the fond parents, who are anx ious to learn more about raising the standard of child life, which subject has been neglected in some instances in the eager desire for knowledge pertaining to the dumb brutes, which class has been hold-^ ing partial atTSEtion heretofore on the fair grounds. Considerable interest has been aroused in this contest since the management of the fair announced that it would be inaugurated and many thoughtful mothers have ex pressed their intention of making exhibits in the “better babies” de partment. Arrangements are be- ing perfected for many'handsome priaes and the “better babies” con test will doubtless be one of the mostiinteresting and beneficial fea tures of the Western North Caro lina Fair. !■ equipment.
