JUNE 20. 1913- . 1 — - ■ NUMBER-2& TEACHERS' INSTITUTE OFEICERS ELECTED The first week’s work of the coftnty teachers' institute began last Monday at the graded school y bnilding, and the sessions have continned daily since that time. The instructors are: Mr. C. H. Trowbridge, conductor; Miss Hat tie Aiken, assistant. Forty one teachers were enrolled on the first day, the great majority being resi dents ot this county, a few coming from Henderson. The teachers and a few of the townspeople assembled Monday morning at ten o'clock in the school auditorium for the intro ductory public exercises which had been planned for the opening of the institute. Devotional exer cises were conducted by Rev. C. D. Chapman. He chose as a lesson from Scripture the fourteenth chap ter of first Corinthians, on which he baaed a few remarks of an inspi rational and helpful nature, closing with a brief and eloquent prayer. He was followed by Mr. W. W. Zachary, chairman of the county board of education, who had been asked to make an address of t wel come to the teachers. Instead of confining himself to phrases of welcome, however, Mr. Zachary went int* a discussion of the pres ent public school system. Rev. J. W. Briggs had been sch^uled to make a response to this address of welcome, but he was absent. Rev. E. H. Norwood next followed with ^n address on the “Value of Ideals.” Mr. Nor wood’s remarks were calculated to inspire with l^pe and with the determination to leave the past and to reach out after higher attain ments. After these addresses there was <tn adjournment till 1:30 p. m., when the regular work of the insti tute was begun. Two departments' were organized: the Intermediate, under the direct management of Mr. Trowbridge, and the Primary, conducted by Miss Aiken. In the Intermediate department those subjects are taken up which occur above the primary grades in the public schools, such as arith metic, geography, history, Ian-- guage. In this work the teachers are instructed in the best methods of presenting the subjects in their class room, and a great deal of time is given to discussion and the ex pression of opinion. The conduc tor is very much at home in this kind of work, and is able to draw from a long and varied experience. Beside the regular studies, other subjects of a practical nature re. 1 iting to the business of the school are gone into. Attention is given to such subjects as gradation, classification and promotion of pu pils, the correct way of using the register, etc. Every morning the two departments in joint session have what is called a “round table discussion” on questions of dis cipline, school economy, school sanitation and hygiene, and other matters which present puzzling problems to teachers in their work. In the afternoons the two depart ments are separate. Quite a num ber of the teachers who have the work of all grades have enrolled in the primary department. Here they receive instruction in methods of using phonics, in drawing, writ ing, reading, number work and story telling. Simple as these sub-; jects may appear, there are very few teachers who have the knowl edge and experience to tuse them successfully in school; and it soon becomes evident that the teaching of, small children requires a vast amount of study and skill. In this work Miss Aiken has had several years of experience in the school room and m nurmul truiuing, and is tboroughly acquainted w^ith the best methuvls now in use. The closing exercises of the in stitute on Friday afternoon of next week will be open to the public, and will be what is called a model Friday afternoon’s exercise. It will consist of music, recitations, debate, etc., in which the teacher- pupils will take part. Duuns Rock Lodge No. 267. A. F. & A. M., held its regular June communit»,tion last Friday night. In addition to the routine business disposed of the annual election of officers took place. The. following officers were elected for a term of one year: C. M. Doyle, Worshipful Master. Thos. H. Shipman, Senior Warden Cos Paxton, Junior Warden. ' Thos. S. Wood, Treasurer. W. M. Henry, Secretary. In addition to the above offices there are five others to be filled by appointment of the worshipful master-r-Senior and Junior Dea cons, two Stewards and a Tyler. The appointees will be announced by the Worshipful Master on the night ot installation. The installation ceremonies will take place in the lodge room on St. John’s Day, Tuesday, June 24, at 4:30 p. m. At eight o’clock on Tuesday, June 24, there will be work in the Master Mason’s degree, followed by.refreshments. All members of the lodge are urged to attend ^these two meetings. Messrs. D. L. Eng lish, T. S. Wood and Welch Gallo way compose the committee on ar rangements for this occasion, and something good is promised. The Masonic year just coming to a close has been a very good one for the local lodge. The record made by J. A. Miller, Jr., the master, is one that reflects credit upon the lodge and himself. Dunns Rock Lodge is one of the livest in this part of the state, and the amount contributed to the orphan age and other objects of charity compares very favorably with even larger lodges.

NOTICE The commission will hold an ex amination in Hendersonville on July 12,1913, for the position of fourth-^lasp postmaster at Pisgah Forest, N. C. ^ Yours truly, Mallib English, P. M. Pisgah Forest, IT. C. mil FACTORY FOR WESTERN CMOtlNA CARR LUMBER CO. WILL BUILD A PLANT Chairs Will Be Manufactured at Pisgah Forest—Work on Plant ' at an Early Date. The erection of a modern factory for the manufacture of chairs of all kinds is contemplated ^y the Carr Lumber Company, according to a statement made by Louis Carr, the principal owner of the lumber company, who is in Asheville, a guest at the Langren, for a stay of a few days. The company recently purchased the lumber on 70,000 acres of land at Pisgah Forest, and it if estimated that twenty years will be required to cut and market the timber. Inputting over such a large area of land, it is found that a vast quantity of “odds and ends” of lumber is developed and much curly timber, which cannot be sold as strictly first class 'lumber, accu mulates. It is the intention of the lumber company to use this grade of timber in the manufacture of chairs, and it is stated that the erection of the plant is pcactically assured. While definite plans for the con struction of the plant have not yet been made, it is expected that work on the chair factory will be started within the very near future, and the new plant will be a mod em one. Several car loads of chairs will be turned out each year and. they will, be shipped from Western North Carolina to jobbers and furniture dealers in all parts of the south. It is seated that the short lengths of lumber are well suited to the manufacture of chairs, the timber being high .grade lum ber which cannot be sold on ac count of its size. The curly lum ber will be used In the manufacture of cheaper chairs. With the construction of the chair^ factory, more laborers will be employed by the Carr Lumber Company, and the present payroll, which i^ a large one, will be greatly increased. The industry doubtless will mean a great deal to the towns and cities of Western North Caro lina. Mr. Carr stated yesterday that he has ndt yet chosen the superin tendent of the plant, nor does he know just when work will be started on the chair factory. How ever, he remarked the stock of lumber which will be used in the manufacture of the chairs has reached such proportions that it is hoped that work on the plant can be started within the very near future. When it is completed, it is planned to operate it in connection with the work of cutting the tim ber, using the surplus lumber as it comes from the saw mills on the Pisgah Forest property.—Asheville Citizen, June 16. G. F. JUSTUS RECORDER’S COURT The following cases were disposed of by the recorder Monday morn- •ing: State V. H. P. McGhee, carrying a concealed weat>on, to-wit, a pis tol, not guilty. State V. Z. A. Nicholson, assault with a deadly weapon, a hoe, con tinued two weeks. State V. John Ponder, carrying a concealed weapon, a pair of knucks. Defendant plead guilty. Sentenced to pay a fine of $100 and costs or serve three nlpnths on road». State V. M. T. Owon and Harri son Littleton, fornication and adul tery. Continued one week. De fendants to give bond of f200 for their appearance. State V. Henry Mackey, larceny. Continued for one day on account of the absence of principal witness. $200 bond. G. F. Justus, better known amon^ his old war comrades as Frank Justus and among the youngei*- genei:ation as “Uncle Frank,” was bom on March 15, 183^ and died April 26, i9I3, and was laid to rest April 27 in the cemetery near Catheys Creek church in the presence of a large gathering of relatives and friends. The large number who attended^ the funeral services wim\sobbing hearts and tear-moistered eyes was a living testimony of the high es teem and loving regard which his neighbors had for him. He was married to Miss Rebecca Young on August 13,1854, and to them was born eleven childre^, three boys and eight girls. Three of the children had passed over the river and entered the land of spir its previous to his death. He leaves a wife and eight children to follow him. As a soldier he ranked among the bravest and best of the men who wore the gray, whose lives and heroic deeds stand as a living testimony of southern knighthood and devotion. He was promoted from the ranks to lieutenant in his company, and those who gave him him this promotion and distinction n^ver had any cause to regret their selection. He loved to talk of days gpne by and speak of sacred memo ries of his military life. As a citizen he was social, open- hearted and accommodating. He had nothing too good for his friends, and all seemed to 1>e hi» friends. His word was as good as his bond. No one questiont>d a promise he made, for all bad im- plicft confidence in ‘•Uncle Frank’s” pronrises. Iti short, he was a man of truth and honesty and unqnestioned integ|il;y. No higlier words of commendation can be 1 spoken of him as a citizen than the fact that he lived as a tenant bn Brother C. A. Shuford’s land for over thirty years, and daring this long period of business relations they lived in closest touch as brothers. Last bet by no means least, he was a Christian. He had been a member of the Methodist church for sixty years, and all through these years of his pilgrimage and church relationship he maintained an untarnished Christ-like life. Some of the sweetest hours we have spent among the people of this charge have been spent in the home of brother Justus. ^e had been a steward in the church for thirty years and a re cording steward for twenty years, and as in all other places of trust and confidence he had proved him self worthy of the task assigned him, and like Elijah of old, his life had been productive of good ; when he exchanged his mouth for a crown he left another to take it up. The old landmarks are passing out, and the sanctifying influence of thir ri^ and splendid lives vrill be missed—misse<i in the home cir cle, missed, in the country and missed in the church. i “One less at home; \ The charmed circle broken, a dear face Missed day by day from its accustomed place. But, cleansed and saved and perfested by grace, One more in heaven.” Written to his memory by re quest. C. M. C. SOME BUSINESS CHANGES A. H. King has purchased the in terest of T. W. Whitmire in the City Garage and in future will run automobile business in connection with his liVery business. Mr. King moved all the cars from the garage on Main street to his livery bam last Monda;^ and has employed competent machinists and chauffers to manage this department of th& business. While Mr. Whitmii^ has sold his interest in the cars that have been, running since the orgttpization of the City Garage compai^, he does not intend to quit the automobile business. He and his son-in-law, Paul.. 'vSmathers, have purchased three cars and will operate an auto transfer businesi^ under the name of Whitmire & Smathers. l^ir announceiAent will be found ip tiie advertising columns of the News this week. This trade gives - Mr. King the ownership of the two big auto buses and all the other cars formerly owned by the City Garage. Mr. C. B. Wilson’s announce ment also appears this week. Mr. Wilson has a handsome car he is running for the benefit of the pub lic at very reasonable rates. With these three firms doing busi ness there will be no delay in handling the summer visitors when they arrive in Brevard, and this gives Brevard as good automobile service as i3 usually found iii towns of even a larger population. SOME CHANCES ORDERED In the Brevard Hardware Co.’s advertisment this week it states that th^re are 500 feet of binder twine in a roll. It should read 2500. Presbyterian church—Services Sunday morning, conducted by the pastor, on Sunday, June 22. Even ing servics at 8:15. Sunday school at^lO a. m. Christian|Etideavor Tues day at 8:15.

Mr. Frank Jordan, a representa tive of the state insurance depart ment, was in Brevard Tuesday on official business. Mr. Jordan made a thorough inspection of all the buildings in the fire district anc^ ordered a number of changes at various places. A fire escape for the graded school building was ordered, an other for the Auditorium, and ex tensive changes in the fire escapes at the Aethelwold. According to some new regulations of the state dejkirtment, none but what are known as standard fire escapes are recognized as coming up to the re quirements. A standard fire es cape is one that is similar to a stairway, not the ladder type. In addition to a large number of smaller changes in electric wires, etc., Mr. Jordan ordered the busi ness houses to have a general clean ing up in the rear of their business houses as w?ll as in the cellars. He also let it be known that he ex pected to have all his orders com plied with, and will return here in a short time to see how the Work is progressing, and at that time will prosecute all who have neg lected the changes. ^ A SERIOUS ACCIDENT A very serious accident, and one that may prove fatal, befell Mr. M. L. Hamilton Wednesday morning-. While working in his field hie team became - frightened and-^an awa3r with a reaperr” Mr. Hamilton was thrown in front of the machine, and becoming entangled with the gearing of the machine, was dragged for about fifty yards. He was frightfully mangled and bruised and as we go to press there is little hope of his.recovei^. Mr. Hamilton is now quite an old maxk and is well ikQown in this county. He has many friends who will be grieved to learn of * his misfortune. Beginning-last Sunday night the late train on Sunday brings mail. This gives Brilvard the same mail service on Sunday ds in the week. Miss Bessie Patton ^^d Mr. E. C. Echered were married at the home of.^he hfide’s father, Capt. T. T. Patton, Wednesday, Rev. W. H.
