Sylvan ONLY NEWSPAPER IN TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY A HOME PAPER FOR HOME PEOPLE-ALL HOME PRINT VOLUME-XVIII BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY. AUGUST 1. 1913. NUMBEU- ■31 A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION The question of f?ood roads has been discussed u {?reat deal, but up to the present time we have not improvtHl our roads as we should have done. We now have a chance to put in a mile of sand and clay road, and work will begin in Sep tember so as to have the road fin ished before cold weather. Mr. Thos. H. Shipman silent a few hours with a petition and the business men and citizens sub scribed about $500, and only a few people have been seen. While this road will bo an ex periment so far as this county is concerned, it is not an experiment, as there are hundreds of miles of such roads in our stat^, and in the sections where they have them the people are pleased very mucli. The present i>lan is to turn the money over to the township over seer Vfho will have charge of the work and the spending of all the money. The matter has been taken up with Dr. Joseph H. Pratt as to securing a good man to come and start the work and show just how the read should be made. The road will start near the graded school building on Broad street anti go to or near Isaac Harkins, as it seems that more money can be raised by this route than towards the Jennings farm. A number of the citizens living beyond Mr. Middleton’s ])lace are »busy figuring on the extension of the road as far as the creek beyond Davis Glazener’s home. All farm ers who are interested in having this piece of road put in good con dition and want to contribute in either cash or work see Mr. Ship man and name the amount which he will be glad to add to the list, as several hundred dollars more •will be needed to build this piece of road. After our citizens have used the road when completed it will only be a question of a short time be fore we have miles and miles of such roads in our county. TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION The first meeting of the Teach ers Association will be held Au gust 30. Most of the time at this meeting will be taken up discussing the new course of study books just issued by the state. The meeting will begin at 10 o’clock and con sist of six thirty minute periods; ‘ I—Course of Study : Part one, T. C. Henderson; Language, Z. A.

Our editor is wanting some news. Mrs. John Wilson of Etowah has been visiting Mrs. P. P. Orr. Mr. T. R. Duncan is on the sick list we hope to see him out again soon. Myrtle English is Pi>ending a few days with her grandparents Mr. and Mrs. R. O. English of Davidson River. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Reid spent Sunday afternoon with Mrs. Fred Scruggs. Carl Baynard the bright little son of W. A. Baynard is very ill. We V7ish for him a speedy recovery. THE CENTENHIAL Good Reason for His Enthusiasm. When a man has suffered for several days with colic, diarrhoea or other forms of bowel complaint # and is tilt n cured sound and well > by one or two doses of Chamber lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, as is often the case, it is but natural that he should be en thusiastic in his praise of the remedy, and especially is this the case of a severe attack when life is threatened. Try it when in need of such a remedy. It never fails. Bold by S; M. Macfie . adv E<Htor Sylvan Valley News: One hundred years of Ba])tist history as an organized body in what is now Transylvania CQunty, closes with the year 1913. This event is to be cclebrat"d at Cath eys Creek church August 12-14, inst. Your attention has been called to this fact a number of times, and thanks are hereby ex tended for the publicity your col umns have given, but it is thought in this notice that all directly in- teresttid in the approaching meet ing should understand that the first day—Tuesday, 12th—will be devoted wholly to local history. Two historical papers are to be read: one, -‘The Annals of the First Organized Church, Catheys Creek” ; the other, “An Associa- tional Sketch.” This done, it is desired, and eftorts are being made to have sketches of some of the pioneer families, wiiich, settling in this upper valley and hills, planted a faith that has outlined their natu ral lives. Hon. T. H. Galloway, W. P. Whitmire, and perhaps, Revs. J. R. Owen and C. C. Duckworth will teli us about the respective fami lies whose blood courses their own veins. It is hoped that some lineal rei>resenlative in person or by proxy will do the same for other pioneers. It will be impossible at this late date for the committee to make such assignments. Another feature of this gather ing, and which snouUl be of ab sorbing interest to young America, is the temporary museum consist ing of such relics as have come down from colonial and subsequent times and were the belongings of our fathers. Every family almost has some such heirloom. Let them be labeled and brought in on the first day—old books out of print, long “s” Bibles, song and hymff' books, newspapers, association minutes, especially of Saluda and Twelve Mile, S. C., French Broad, Salem, Union; fire-arms, bullet, candle, button molds, candle snuf fers, etc., anything of light weight used a hundred years ago. These articles are mentioned to suggest a general guide to seekers of anti quated articles. During the meet ing will be discussed -‘What suit able monument ought to be erected to commemorate a century of Bap tist history?” J. C. Owen opening. General discussion. J. M. Hamlin, For Centennial Committee. ACCIDENT AT QUEBEC MISSIONARY ADDRESS The address by Miss E. V. Lee ot City Victoria, Mexico, at the Pres byterian churtfh last Friday after noon was listened to by a small but appreciative audience. Miss Lee is visiting her niece, Mrs. Caldwell, while on furlough, and will be for ten days at the Montreat conference. This ener getic lady has been in the foreign field for twenty.three years doing educational and evangelistic work in Mexico. Miss Lee told of the various mis sion points, how the work was con ducted and their success. She contrasted the different treatment she and her fellow-workers re ceived now to what it was when the work was first undertaken be fore the civil war. That while then they were frequently stoned, now they had no opposition. With regard to the revolution now in progress the lecturer said that Gomez was the only man who could maintain order, but ha was safe in Texas and wouldn’t endan ger his head. How the Trouble Starts. Constipation is the canse of many ailments and disorders that make life miserable. Ta,ke Chamberlain’s Tablets, keep yoxk bowels regular and yon will avoid these diseasese. For sale by S. M. Maofie. adv Last Tuesday evening Rev. J. K. Henderson of Stantonburg, N. C., accompanied by his wife and little four-year-old son, Jesse Perry, ar rived at Quebec on ' a visit to his parents and other relatives. Must after leaving the train they met with a serious accident. The station at Quebec is just be yond a creek, crossed by a trestle about twelve feet high. When the passenger train comes to a stop the engine and front coaches are oppo site the station, but the rear or white coach stops on the trestle, and the passengers get off upon a bannistered platform, w’hich forms a part of the bridge and overhangs the water. When Mr. Henderson and family left the train it was dark and they waited on this plat form until the train should leave. The woodwork wher)e they stood was decaying, and their weight and the motion given by the de parting train caused this part of the platform to give way, throw ing them into the creek. Mr. Henderson received several bruises, which, however, were not serions, but his wife fell upon the stones in the creek and was iminfully hurt. Her back was badly bruised, and the neck under the chin was cut. A cry from th 3 little boy enabled Mr. Henderson to locate him in the darkness and to pull him out of the wat<?.r into which he was plunged head first. The child had a rib broken by the fall, and his condition is quite serious. Mr. W. B. Henderson, the agent, at once telephoned to Mr. Cald well, and Dr. Cheatham went up on a special car. DEATH OF MBS. EU HAMLIN On Thursday, July 25, occurred the death of Mrs. Eli Hamlin at her home a few west of Brevard. She was eighty-four years old, and had ’gradually been failing in strength for some time. She was buried at Catheys Creek church, of which she was a member, on Friday afternoon. Rev. R. D. Cross conducting the funeral cere monies. . Mrs. Hamlin’s maiden name was Julia Ann Barton. She spent her early life in this county—or rather in the section now embraced in this county—and was married be fore the civil war to Mr. Eli Ham lin, who died three years ago. She is survived by her sons, Mr. Perry Hamlin of Selica, ’Vyr. Ed Hamlin, of Burbon, Mo., Mr. Smith Hamlin of Easley, S. C., and her daugh ters Mrs. Sally Hiott of Greers, S. C., Mrs. Jane Heath of Greenville, S. C., and Mrs. J. M. Orr of Selica. She was the grandmother of Mr. Lewis Hamlin, register of deeds. CALHOUN JOniNGS A series of meetings began at Little River Baptist church, con ducted by Rev. H. H. Honeycutt. Luther Hamilton, who was so seriously injured by his reaping machine several weeks ago, is slowly improving, but is quite helpless yet. Willie Kilpatrick has recently been quite ill, but is now able to be at his place pf business. Mrs. S. J. Ogden of Asheville is visiting the home of her sister, Mrs. Lou M. Osborne. Miss Annie, daughter of Mrs. Ogden, visited her mother and aunt last week. They, with several friends, visited Csesars Head and Little River falls. More anon. L. M. O. The four hardware stores have recently made an agreement to close every evening except Satur day at 6:30. This is a commend able arragement. It’s • only pbjec- tionaljle feature is thati it dqjei^ not go far enough. It would be g'ood to see every business vli^m ^d’his clerks set free these summer days before the son goes down, v Why work overtime? ‘ ’ ‘‘ ANNUAL STATEMENT Receipts and Disbursements of School Funds for Year End ing June 30th, 1913.
