Sylvan Valley News VOLUME-XIX BREVARD. NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 27. 1914. 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., th(* uttention (*f .Tiulge Forsythe at Monday's session.

Mr. Harrison was received with rounds of a])i)lansc! and his talk was lis tened to with the closest attention. 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. Breese, Jr., R. E. Woodbridge, J. M. Allison, A. ISI. Verdery, J. S. Bromlield, R. L. (irash, C. M. Doyle, E. A. Shaffer, Lewis Carr, D. G. Ward, J. F. Hays, and Ora L. Jones. 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.

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. At tlu‘ })nsiness iiu'cling of tin* directors of the association th(' “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- chio, vrh(» (h'clares she has the most beatUifn] :.-jjnu‘r, and takes her a , ••a:»‘>''es.

The color scheme in the dining room was red and this was carried out in all the deco rations. Large bouquets of red carnations were on the tj^les and at each plate a red carnation was placed as a souvenir. Red was the predominating color, and it was a number of years. I highly recom- mend it to my fellows as being a medicine worthy of trial in cases of colds, coughs and croup.” Give Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy a trial and we are confident you w’ill find it very effectual and continue to use it as occasion requires for years to come, as many others have done.
