5SM6S ONLY NEWSPAPER IN TRANSyLVANIA COUNTY _£l A HOMK PAPER FOR HOME PEOPL.E—AliL HOME PRINT VOLUME-XVIII BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY. JULY 18. 1913. NUMBER-29 BUYS ONE NUNDIED ACRES The Greenville Daily News of Wednesday had the following to say in regard to the Q. &. K. rail, way: “The purchasing by representa tives of Mr. Asi^ G. Candler of 100- acre tract of land in Gap Creek Gap —the strategic pass through the Bine Ridge mountains in going from Greenville into North Caro lina—together with other informa tion given a representative of the News yesterday by one who is in a position to know, leads to the con clusion that the completion of the Greenvijle & Knoxville railway to the Tennessee city is a dream that will be realized in the near future. “One hundred acres of land, situated in Gap Creek Gap and ly ing partly in South Cafolina and partlj in North Carolina, has re cently been purchased for Mr. Asm G. Candler, the Atlanta multi-mil lionaire who announced some months ago that he would under take the completion of this road through the mountains. As is generally known, about the only possible way the Greenville & Knoxville railway line could be built through the Bine Ridge moun tains would be through Gap Creek Gap. Realizing this, Mr. Candler’s agents have taken time time by the forelock, so to speak, and have acquired 100 acres of land in this importa*nt gap. The mere i)ur- chasing of this land, it is pointed out, is a pretty strong indication that the promoters of the railway mean to build the line though to Knoxville. ‘•Mr. Asa G. Candler is at pres ent in Europe, having gone there for a rest at the advice of his phy sician. According to recent mes sages from him he is very much improved. Mr. Candler will sail for America, it is reported, on or about August 7th. It is presumed that he will have some announce ments of importance with refer ence to the Greenville & Knoxville railway to make. “When seen just before his de- imrture for Europe Mr. Candler stated that it was his intention to take up this important matter of the completion of the road as soon as he had recovered froiA his indis position.” BRITISH CAPITAL INTERESTED IN MEMORY ALBERTA WEISCHMEIR REISER. On Wednesday, July ‘Jth, there passed from us. still in her young womanhood, a gentle soul, a stranger in this Land of the Sky, who had come here seeking relief from that pitiful disease, tu)>ercu- losis. She was called to be a bur den bearer, but, blessed truth, the burden bearers help the world along. The fight that each man or woman fights behind their cham ber door—for courage, for patience and for faith—they fight not for themselves alone, they fight for all mankind ; they fight as those who are helpers of their kind ; as blood brothers and sisters of that One, who, in little Gallilee, obscure, al most alone, was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities, and who, upon the cross, became the burden bearer of the human race. For more than a year Mrs. Reiser suffered, then came the bleosed end—and rest. Through it all her husband kept devoted watch and ward, and a loving aunt ministered to her needs, helped by the kind offices of friends and neighbors—God bless them one and all. On Thursday, July 10th, those faithful two bore the poor frail body away to its last resting place in her f>r away Pennisjlvania home. E'^t one short year a wife— the day ot her bridal was the day of her funeral. Yes. but as the Germans fondly say one to another, when a loved one dies, “The day of one’s death is-the day of one’s birth.” So may it be with her, Our Father. Chalmers-D. Chapmax, Minister of St. Philips. According to a story carried by the Knoxville Journal and Tribune within the past week, British cap ital will back the project to build a railroad from Nashville, t'enn., to the Atlantic seaboard, with a bra nch line through North Carolina. We are here reprinting the story from the Journal and Tribune in full. “British cajjital is behind the i>ro- posed buiding of a trunk lino from Nashville^to the Atlantic seaboard, and possibly an extension west- wardly to St. Louis. “Col. William J. Oliver returned home Saturday afternoon from New York»where he has been for several days in^he interest of the proposi tion to build a railroad from Harri- man to Knoxville, connecting with the Knoxville, Sevierville and East ern and from Sevierville eastward to Greenville, S. C., making con nection through that st«,te for the seaboard, probably at Charleston. **Mr. Oliver was accompanied by R. B. Jones of New York, represent ing eastern men who are interested in the railroad project, and with them was Judge H. B. Lindsay, who has been east on matters for the Aluminum Company of America. “Mr. Oliver would not give out any of the plans for the railroad^t this time, but it was learned that they are l)eing developed satisfact orily, and the situation looks very bright to those who know what is proposed and what has been done. The prospects for Knoxville getting another trunk line are better than they have ever been since an nouncement was made of the com ing of the Louisville and Nashville. “Among those interested in the project is one of the New Jersey DuPonts, the powder manufac turers, while Judge Mayer, of Lon don, representing the British in terests behind the proposition, was in conference with Mr. Oliver, Mr. Jones and Mr. DuPont in New York. Jud^e Mayer has been in Knoxville, and is expected to come to this city again in a short while to again look over the field for what may be a final report to the English syndicates. “Recently, Mr. Oliver telegraphed the board of commerce at Knoxville asking its endorsement for a pro position to have Knox county un derwrite 1500,000 of bonds in the railroad enterprise, if Davidson county would underwrite a million dollars worth. The board of com merce gave its endorsement and it is by those who have felt the public pulse that Knox county is willing to make that much of an investment in an enterprise that would mean so mrch to Knoxville, K*nox county and East Tennessee. “The plan is to build link between Knoxville and Harrinian, connect ing the Tennessee Central with the Knoxville, Sevierville and Eastern w hich road Mr. Oliver built and con trols, and then build a connection from Sevierville into the Carolinas, going near Newport and through Canton to Greenville. Then some jneces of road in South Carolina would be taken over and connection built, making a through line to the seacoast. It would then follow that the Tennessee Central be taken over if that could be done, and the trunk line become a reality. “The British syndiate interested in the project has almost unlimited capital, and New Jersey and New York capitalists have also expressed a willingness to put up money in the venture, and the matter has now gone so far that those who know are encouraged to believe that it will go through, and that a few more' weeks will bring an nouncement that the railroad will be built. “Mr. Jones, who came here with Mr, Oliver, did so to represent him self and other New Yorkei^s -whom Mr. Oliver has interest^ in the proposition, and will spend a few days here looking'thoroughly into the matter.” “MR. BOB” FRIDAY NICHT “Mr. Bob,” a comedy in two acts, will be presented by a company of local amateurs for the benefit of the Ladies Aid Society of the Baptist church at the Auditorium Friday night, July 18, beginning promptly at eight-thirty. The play is a com edy in every sense of the word, and is full of ridictilous situations and misunderstandings. A deck of a lavV firm with some very important j)apers is mis taken for an architect by some, a lover by others, and a college man by others, and no one will give him a chance to explain who he is until the very last, when all the mystery is cleared. The fun starts with a misunder standing between the dignified English butler and a hungry cat and continues throughout the j play until the I’-st curtain goes down, just about two hours of comedy. The admission will be one i^rice to all—twenty-five cents—and there will be no reserved seats. The cur tain will go up promptly at eight- thirty. THE OXFORD SINGING CLASS The singing class from the Ox ford Orphanage will give their an nual entertainment at the Audito rium next Tuesday night, and it is to be hoped that a large audience will hear them. This class has bopn giving enter tainments here once annually for a number of years, and so far as we know there has never been a kick as to the quality of the entertaiur ment afforded. It has always been worth more than the price charged, and the class this year is said to be the best sent out for a long time. The Oxford Orphanage takes children of non Masons as well as those of Masons. The needs of the child igl what they try to provide, regardless of who their parents may have been. This institution is a model of its kind. Everyone should take this opportunity of helping the good work along. THE HOOKWORM CAMPAIGN CENTENNIAL MEETING At Catheys Creek Baptist Church August 12-14, m3. Editor Sylvan V'alley News: Please give the following report space in your valuable paper : First Week.

This report shows a great in crease in number of examinations and that the people are receiving great benefit from this work. It is to be hoped that every one take immediate advantage of offer for free examinations treatment. Yours truly, C. W. Hunt, M. Just a hundred years ago the first Baptist * church in this county was organized near where the present Catheys Creek church now’^ stands. We, the descendants, are heir to their heritage, and have the chance to show our apprecia tion of their labers by holding a centennial meeting worthy of these noble ancestors. The Transylvania association at her last session last October took up the matter and appointed a com mittee in conjunction with the executive board to take the matter in hand. They have decided to hold the meeting at the above time and i)lace. This is also connected in time with a much larger event. Next year will be a century since Ameri can Baptists formed the first mis sionary society, the 'occasion being the coming of Judson and Rice to the Baptists in India. It h>ia been decided to hold a great centennial; have all the Bap tists of the county to gather in a large grove near the church on Tuesday, Wetlnesday and Thurs day after the secqnd Sunday in August, 1013. and have three full days on a good program and some of the best s|>eakers to be had. People are expected to come in wagons, in old cMinp meeting style, and camp for the three days, as it is a matter not only for The church with which we meet, and us it would be impossible for the church to enterttiin all who will ohme. We request the various pastors, the church deacons and the Snnday school workers to adver^^ise the matter fully ; and the various sing ing classes of the county to be present to furnish us music. Our program will be about as follows: liistory of the church; history of the association; a cen tury of state missions, of home missions, of foreign missions, and of education. We already have the promise ot the following speak ers : W. H. Bradshaw, J. C. Owen, and J. L. Vipperman to deliver four of his. matchless lectures on the Bible. Vipi>erman has few equals. There will also be a repre sentative of the foreign mission board from Richmond. Va. The matter of commemorating this in a most worthy and substan tial way is being seriously consid ered. and we hope will result in an institution that shall mean more to the Baptists, of this county than anything that has ever taken place in our bounds. Programs will be sent soon to all the churches for distribution. Come one, come all, as the tribes of Israel went up to Jerusalem to worship, R, D. Cross, For Executive Committee. RUN AWAY ACCIDENT Wednesday afternoon as Miss Virginia Allison and Miss Eva Skip- pet were driving into town from Beech Nut Farm and going up the hill near the Red House, the horse took fright at a motor cycle ridden by David Hunt, turned sharply round, threw out Miss Allison and dashed back down the hill. As Miss Allisdfcvwas driving, the lines fell and Miss Skipper was leit help less. Fortunately Mr. W. R. Kim- sey v.\'is near the foot of the slope, and hearing a scream,* looked up and took in the situation at a glance. He rushed to meet the runaway, seized the reins'^ and swung on till the. frightened ani mal was brought to a standstill. By that time Mr. Kimsey’s team ster had arrived, and leaving him in charge of the horse, Mr. Kimsey went on to give assistance to Miss Allison, who was still lying on the ground near the top of the hill. Others also came to help, a doctor was sent for, and Miss Allison was carried to Mr. J. S. Bromtield’s house near by. Miss Allison’s injuries were quite serious. She had fallen under the wheels of the buggy and was badly hurt in several places. An ankle was injured, the nose broken, and the flesh about one eye very much lacerated. As no other bones were broken, however, it is hoped that her wounds are rather painful than dangerous. DEATH OF MRS. BAUMAN Friends in this town and commu nity were greatly grieved to learn lately of the death of Mrs. G. T. Bauman, which occurred on July 10. Mr* Bauman left Brevard about three months ago to visit her f;ither. Colonel Hamilton, in San Antonio,. Texas. The father’s sick ness was the cause of her visit, but her own health, i^ver very robust, seems to have given way under the strain, and a short time ago Mr. Bauman at Rosman received a message calling for his presence at her side. On July 10 both Mrs. Bauman and her father passed away. Mrs. Bauman was well known here and had many warm friends, to whom her death will bring a sense of personal loss. will this and D.

Robert King, evangelist for the synod of North Carolina, will begin a series of meetings at David son River Presbyterian church on Friday night of this week. The services will be held every morn ing and evening till the end of next week. Mr. King has a number of friends in Brevard where he supplied the Presbyterian church for a month four years ago. The same summer he assisted Rev. W. H. Davis in his pastoral work at Davidson River. Many people from this place will, no doubt, be glad of the opportunity of visiting the neigh bor church and hearing Mr. King, who made so favorable an impres sion as a preacher while here. He will be assisted in his work by a singer, Mr. Pardue. The management of the Glouces ter Lumber Company’s business in this county has been transferred to the Campbell Brothers, who are operating a logging industry at 'Unicoi, Tennessee. They will cut jlogs, saw and pile lumber. JURY LIST Monday, July 14, the county com missioners drew the list of jurors for the fall term of Superior Court. Following is the list: First Week—C. H.
