NUMBER- 9
SCHOOL HOUSE BURNED
The school house at Cedar Moun
tain was burned last Wednesday,
together with the contents of the
bnildinp:. The school at that place
closed some time af»o, but on Wed
nesday some parties went to the
building to clean it preparatory to
having a l)OX supper, sweejjing the
floor and burning the trash in the
stove. It is thought that burning
pai)er in some manner lighted on
the roof, an old shingle roof, and
the fire started in this manner.
The fire was not discovered until
the building whs falling in, too lute
to save anything.
The building was an old one, but
had been recently equipped with
new patent desks, and probably the
loss of the desks will amount to
about US much as the building.
There was no insurance.
It is nut yet known what plans
will be ])ut on foot for rebuilding
but in all probability a new build
ing will be ready at the beginning
of anotlu'r school term.
RECORDER’S COURT
WELCOME TO PRESIDENT
In contnist with the past few
weeks, the recorder’s docket pre-
senttnl a large array of cases for ! (ireater \\ (»stern
Upon his first visit to Western
North Carolina since his election as
president of the Southern Railway,
President Fairfax Harrison was
royally entertained in Asheville
last Monday and Monday night,
fully five hundred men gathering
to do honor to the successor of Mr.
W. W. Finley, one of the best
friends the South ever had.
In President Harrison’s party
were Vice-President JSpencer, Gen
eral Manager (icorge Loyall and
Passenger Traflic Manager S. H.
Hardwick, who arrived in Ashe
ville Monday morning on a special
train. In the morning the party
went to W^aynesville where the
citizens of that town welcomed the
new president, after which a quick
run WHS made to Hendersonville.
At both Hendersonville and
Waynesville Mr. Harrison was ten
dered a reception, and at both
l)laces h^' made an address to the
citizens.
Monday aftv-rnoon President Har
rison met with the members of the
(Tteater Western North ('arolina
Association in the Asheville Club
rooms.
President Harrison was intro-
dnc(‘d by .Mr. W. E. Breese, Jr.,

whispered about that some of the
diners “saw red” before leaving
the banquet hall.
The banquet commenced at nine
o’clock and lasted until long after
midnight. After all the good
things had been eaten »*nd every
one was in a jolly good humor Mr.
Breese called Mr. H. W. Plummer
to act as toastmaster, which he did
to everybody’s satisfaction. But
as is usual on such occasions, nearly
every speaker kept talking too long,
until the merits of the speech were
judged by some of the banqueters
solely on their length,
Transylvania county was repre
sented by the following citizens of
the county : J. S. Silverstein, T. H.
Shipman, J, A. Miller, Jr., W. E.

Bromlield, R. L. (irash, C. M. Doyle,
E. A. Shaffer, Lewis Carr, D. G.
Ward, J. F. Hays, and Ora L.

Mr. J. S. Silvcrstein very gra-
cijusly introduced the Transylva
nia delegation at the Asheville
Club, und also had a majority of
the delegation as guests at lunch
eon at the club. Those enjoying
this hospitality wish to take this
opportunity to extend their thanks
to Mr. .Silverstein for those kind
nesses.

The business n'eeting of the
Greater Western North Carolina
Association held in Asheville last
Monday was largely attended, and
the reports of the officers for the
past year showed that the organi
zation has done much good work
for this section of the state.
As stated in the report of the
president, the association has now
passed the experimental stage, and
is recognized as a i)ermanent fix
ture in the life of the state.
President W, E. Breese read his
report to the members and visitors
present, going into the work of
the association in detail and telling
of the results of the advertising
campaign that has been carried on
under the direction of Manager S.
H, (?ohen.
A well deserved tribute was j)aid
to Manager Cohen by President
Breese, who stated that Mr. Cohen
had labored faithfully at all sea
sons for the upbuilding of this sec
tion. The report showed that the
travel to Western North Carolira
l>oints has increased twenty per
cent over any ]>revious season, and
that in the year there were
twenty-five ])ercent more people in
the resorts of Western North Caro
lina than in any previous year.
The i)rospects for the coming sea
son are the very brightest, said the
president, and it is confidetly ex-
! pected that this year will eclij)se
' last year in the number of tourists.

“TAMING OF THE SHREW”
Shakespeare’s delightful comedy,
“The Taming of the Shrew,” a,s
presented by the students of tho
Brevard Institute, proveto be one
of the most enjoyable numbers of
the lyceum course, as all who were
fortunate enough to beat the Audi
torium Monday night v.ill testify.
Every player in the cast de.serves
special mention, as every (*hameter
was portrayed in a manner that
would have done credit t<». j)rofes-
sional troupe. It would be hard
indeed to pick out the star of the
cast.
The many trying situations
through w-hicli Katharine, the
shrew, w’as forced into by her
erratic husband were Indicrous in
the extreme, and Miss Neppie
Brothers as Katharine came up to
the requirements of the part in a
very pleasing manner. Mr. Omra
Jones as Baptista. Lester Allen as
Petruchio, and Miss Pauline Mar
tin as Bianca, the lovable sister of
the .shrew, all played ther<^ parts
well. Hoover Jollay as Grumio
also deserves much credit.
The wonderful transftjrmation
made in Katharine by her luisband
furnishes the foundation f«jr the
play, and the manner in which the
transfornsation was brought about
furnishes tlu* fun. The shrew, who
has such a vioh'nt tem])er that no
one cares to marry lier, is wootd in
a most unu.=^ual manner by P(;trn-
