The BAPTIST SCHOOL PROPOSED The question, of establishing a denominational sel^ool was dis cussed fet the Transylvania Baptist Association at Boyleston last week, and the membership of that body went on record as favoring such a project.. The Ypllowing committee was appointed to ,discuss ways and means and to look for a suitable location: T. C. Henderson, chair man, A. M. Paxton, J.^.^House, M. C. Whitmire, George Bishop, E. B. Barton, J. M. Hamlin, W. L. Talley and R. L. Capps. The committee has been called to meet in the office of Superintendent Henderson Friday (October 21), at 9 :0() a. m., for the purpose of re ceiving propositions as "to the loca tion of the school. A proposition had been made by Fruitland Institute asking this as sociation to join with them in im- as railroad in the train Although death is natural as ^ v,<»ll as of divine appointment, yet we are prone to forget that we are ^ mortal and must ere long pay the * penalty v. ith our own bodies, j Bnt by the death.of Brother W.

The cowcatoher of the engine struck between the wheels. W. P. Jones jnnipcd before the collision but wns knocked a considerable distance b^ the force of the engine. The oldest Benjamin boy also jumped, drugging one of the Wil- tiams boys with him. Mrs. Benja min, on seeing the danger they were in, lost her chawe of escape by stopping to throw her baby, six years old, out of the wapjon. The little girl was struck by fi>ing tim bers, however, and there is very small hope of her recovery. ^ Mr. and 3Irs. Benjamin were caught under the engine and dragged a considerable distance. They wer>? both badly mangled. Their death was instantaneons. The team wa* also killed outright and the wagon was srna.shed into splinters. The injured and dead were car ried to Dalton, Ga., where the in jured received n'ledical attention and the dead were i>epared for burial.

He was an active Master Mason and maintained a high re gard for the fraternity. He was extremely careful not to violate his obligation nor to abu.^e the tenets of the order to advance his own personal interest. Therefore be it resolved: First—That by the death of Brother W. W. Zachary Dunn's Rock Lodge No. 2S7. A. F. & A.

Second—^That we as members of said lodge hereby tender our sin cere sympathy to the bereaved family in this their sad aifiiction, and implore upon them the bless ings Of an all-wise Father, \ who doeth all things well. \ • Third—That a copy of these reso lutions be spread on the minutes of our lodge, a Qopy sent the Orphan’s Friend and Sylvan Valley News for publication, and a copy sent to the family of the deceased.

Mr. and Mrs Benjamin were both natives of Western North Carolina, having moved to Georgia aboui three years ago. The beau tiful tiibutes paid to their memory by the j)astor of their church and I the large gathering of their neigh j hors and friends attested to the love I and esteem in which they were held. They were both members of the Baptist church and lived con secrated Christian lives. Their oldest child, a boy of fifteen, had been away from home three years, and had only just returned home ten days before the distressing ac cident. The mother had ^he pleas ure of seeing this son and the next oldest profess religion in her own home, and on the day they were baptised, the Sunday before her death, she declared it was the hap piest day of her life’ Mrs. Benjamin is survived by her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. W.

He remained a prisoner here until June 25, 1>'()5, < and returned4iomo July 25, ls(>5. j He removed his church letter from Little River to Enon Baptist church. His first wife.^ted a few years after the war. He was mar ried to Mattie Kerby, October 1), 1893, and T>rospered p:reatly in all his undertakings. He moved to Rabun county, Georgia, in Novem ber, 1901, and again moved his church letter to Wolf Creek church in 1003. It was by his efforts that a new church was built in Tiger, Gh.

On Wednes day, October 15, 1913, about eleven o’clock he died a very easy death. He was buried the lollowirfg dtty on top of the hill in Wolf (,’reek cemetery, the funeral services be ing conduoted by Rev. J. W. Hol comb. Mattik Allison. ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING Milas Marcum, an employe of the Brevard Tannin Co., at Pisgah For est, shot and instantly killed his ten year old son Clyde about mid night last Monday night. It seems that the boy had gone out into the yard for some reason or other and that his mother heard him, calling to her husband that some one was trying to break in the house. He thinking it was a burglar, got Ixis gun and shot the boy at close range as he entered the house. Death was inst-antaneous. The funeral took place Wednesday and the interment w’as on Little River. HALLOWE’EN PARTY On Friday night of October the 31 st the Daughters of the Confed eracy will give a hallow’eon party at the chapter house.

EUCLID MALE QUARTEHE • The first of the six entertain ments comprising the Alkahest Lyceum course was delivered at. the Auditorium on Saturday, Oc tober 18th, at 8 :oO p. m. : A large and enthusiastic ajadi- ence of the most cultured people of Brevard, together with almost the entire body of students from the Institute, greeted the Euclid Male Quartette with cheers as they ar rived on the stage and proceded to execute the first number on the programme, Vrhich was a selection performed on the organ chimes. These chimes are the largest car ried by any similar organizjition now in lyceum. Everyone in the audience was charmed with this artistic and plea»ng novelty, which is also a legitimate musical instrument. As the bell-like notes, “sweet as angel music,” pealed forth the inspiring strains of “Dixie” the cheering broke out afresh, but subsided into a solemn huftl ,s “Nearer My God to Thee” fell in sweet melody on the enchanted ear. As printed programmes w^ere not supplied we cannot give the names of all the numbers of this varied and abundant programme. All of the quartettes were ren dered without piano accompani ment, and the blending of the parts were in most perfect harmony. In this respect “The Old Canoe” was especially worthy of note. A hu morous recitative song, “Little Tommy Tucke.r,” brought the house down as that worthy was presented with hia^ supper in the shape of a baby’s bottle. Every number rendered received an encore, which mark of apprecia tion was always honored by the performers. And so the evening passed all too soon as we listened entranced with classical selections, both secular and sacred, folk songs, popular ballads, plantation melo dies, comedy encores with actipn, vocal solos and other numbers, both sentimental and pathetic The four yonng men comprising this quartette are college bred—all graduates of noted colleges. The clean manly young fellows forming this popular organization have THE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION The Transylvania Baptist Asso ciation met with-^ Boyle ston church last Thursday morning. The moet- ing was very 'largely attended and the reports brought in from the various churches were very grati fying. The net gain in member ship for the year amounted to eighty-nine, and the reports showed that the membership of the local churches is contribiiiting to the va rious objects in a more liberal man-, ner than ever before. \ The meeting was organized by the re election of Rev. A. J. Man ley as moderator, Rev^. T, C. Holtz- claw -its vice-moderator and T. C. Henderson as clerk. Judson Command Ora L. Jones were appoinied as reading cl( Nearly every church in the , ciation was represented by 0116 ov more delegates. The reports from these churches showsd that they have been active for the past year. The amounts contributed made a good round sum when i>ut together. Possibly the biggest financial gain was shown by Brevard church while the net gain in membership was shown' by (,'athey’s Creek church, a net gain of twenty. A number of visiting brethren were in attendance, nniong the number l)eing Archibald .Johnson, edit( r of C’barity anil Cl-.ildren, ono ot the beijt -kiujwn B.ijitlsts in the state. The reports of (|pmmi1tees wero read and discussed in a very intel ligent manner, and in the discus sions it was discover d that the membership at large is studying the questions now before the de nomination. Tnese reports are very helpful. Friday night was given ovpr to the discussion of current events, prepared by J. M. Hamlin, and a memorial service for those who have died within the year. The question of establishing a denominational school in this county came up for discussion. A full write-up of this question will be found in another in this issue. The* meeting was brought to a close on Sunday with a sermon by ^ev. F. M. Jordan, the oldest min ister in the association.
