Our little village is still on the

fierce wind that have prevailed for
the last few days.
The anniversary exercises were
carried out successfully, although
the weather was very unfavorable.
The auditorium was filled to over
flowing. The debate was spirited
and all Wv*ro pleased w'ith the man
ner in which the s]>eakers delivered
their speeches. The decision was
rendered in favor of the negative,
much to the suri)rise of the sup
porters of the aftirmative, who
were confident of victory. The
students were almost equally di
vided in sentiineut, the majority of
the girls being sull'ragettes and the
majority of the boys favoring the
anti-suflragette movement.
The trustees and others who are
interested in the new building are
to meet here this afternoon (Tues

MRS. M. A. ORR
Following an illness of several
months, Mrs. M. A. Orr, aged
seventy-seven ye» rs, died last Sun
day night shortly after seven
o’clock at the home of her son, Mr.
Chas. E. Orr. Mrs. Orr had been
seriously ill for many months, little
hope being entertained for her re
covery for the past few weeks, and
consequently the end was not un
expected. Her three sons were
present at the bedside when death
catne.
The decased was a native of Pitts
burg, Pa., coming to Brevard sev
eral years ago to make her home
with her son. She was a woman of
many lovable traits of character,
and in her death the Methodist
church loses one of its most loyal
and faithful members. It was her
aim to better the condition of all
mankind and her life work was
along these lines. She was known
and loved by hundreds of people in
this section of the state as well as
her native state.
She is survived by thee sons and
one daughter—Messrs. A, K. Orr,
Walter R. Orr and Chas. E. Orr,
and Mrs. Harry Hayes of Pittsburg,
Pa. Mrs. Orr’s busbar d died many
years ago.
The funeral ser\ ices wore con
ducted at the home of her son Mon
day morning by Rev. \V. M. Rob
bins, and the remains were taken
back to Pittsburg on the afternoon
train for interment.

Frederick T. Gates, of New York
City, chairman of the general edu
cation board, sees in the present
tendency toward the socialization
of the public school the promised
development of a new art—“the
art of recreation for young and old,
for all pursuits, for all seasons, for
both sexes, indoors, out of doors.
Some sweet, healthful, happy,
adapted recreation shall enter into
the program, not occasionally, but
every day, for young and old alike.
Ultimately there will be professors
of popular recreation. They shall
be sent to us from the colleges, to
teach us all the ways of relief from
strain and tedium, precisely adapt
ed. And all together we shall have
our weekly half holiday for commu
nity recreation.” •
One of the first concerns of the
new school shall be for the promo
tion of health as the basis of all
well being and well doing. “We
shall ferret out the local causes of
ill health in the family and in the
community, also in plant and ani
mal life,” says Mr. Gates, writing
in World.’s Work. ‘’We shall call
to our aid, of course, the experts
from the chemical and agricialtural
colleges and universities our
schools of forestry and of veteri
nary medicine. They shall exam
ine and report. They shall lecture
and demonstrate before us and be
in constant correspondence with us.
We shall submit to them our too
ditlicult i)roblems and they shall
solve them for us.
“Closely associated with health
is the daily supply of food. ‘I was
an hungered, and ye gave Me meat.’
It should be sufliciently varied,
regularly provided, suitably and
ai>petisingly cooked. Every girl
and every boy shall be taught what
to eat, and how to cook. At least
three times a day throughout his
life everyone of us must eat, and
the ({uestion of healthful and nu-
tritibus diet is perhaps the most
important single (inestion in life.
Xor lives the man to whom this
very thing is not by in’ovidence de
signed to be no inconsiderable part
of his daily satisfaction.
“Wo shall teach all that it is
necessary to know about the sani
tation of a home, fn>m cellar to
garret, the need of spotless clean
liness within it, of neatness, taste
and beauty about it. We shall
show the value of ventilation, light,
warmth and tl« best methods of
securing them. We shall study
the (tuestion of drainage, sewage,
the disposal of waste, the water
su])ply, infection, its source and
prevention. We shall i)lan model
kitchens and model sanitary ar-
rang(‘ments, model rural
Very few matters ontside of the
regular routine came before the
county commissioners at their ses
sion last Monday. The usual
number of bills came np and were
allowed, or.not allowed, as the case
might be, and the usual pauper
claims were passed upon.
The petition to close the public
road from the Turkey Creek church
to the Alexander Hollingsworth
place was left open, a counter
petition having' been filed asking
that this road be kept open. The
road overseer was ordered to join
with the lumbermen of that sec
tion in working out the road in the
meantime.
. A shack bond for J. E. Waldrop
was passed upon and approved.
The bond for W. P. McGaha as
keeper of the county farm was pre
sented to the board and received
their approval.
After these matters wore dis
posed of the commissioners ad
journed to meet again next Mon
day for the further consideration
of the county’s business.
GIRLS ON THE FARM
One of the happiest ideas ever
conceivcd for rural development
was that of giving boys and girls
an independent, creative interest
in the affairs of the farm. Youth’s
restless energy and ambition must
find outlet through one ■ channel or
another ; if hindered and disheart
ened in the country, it naturally
turns cityward, *but the "average
boy or girl born on the farm will
prefer to remain there if ways to
personal achievement are open.
The organization of corn clubs and
canning clubs has thus proved even
more valuable on the human than
the economic side of rural life ; it
has touched the heart of a serious
problem, the problem of congestion
in cities and exhaustion in country
districts,
Much has been said of the results
of corn club work but it is doubtful
that the equally important influ
ence of the girls* canning clnbs lias

b»'cn duly appreciated. Some four
years ago the canning clnbs began
with an enlistment of three hun
dred and twenty-five girls in two
states. By l‘.*ri, according to a re
cent bnlletin of the national depart
ment of agriculture, the movement
had extended to twelve States and
conijjrised a membership of more
than twenty-three thousand ; since
then the increase has been still
more marked.
Each of the girls cultivates a
tenth of an acre, planting tomatoes
or some other fruit. W’hen the
crop is gathered, it is canned and
either marketed or used on the
home table. The records sliow that
homes, j the girls have realized annually an
MR. HOUSTON MOORE
Mr. George Honston Moore died
at his home last Monday and was
bnried at Mt. Moriah church on
Wednesday afternoon. The de
ceased was, at the time of his
death, nearing his eighty-second
birthday, his death being causeil by
senile decay. He was born on Lit
tle River November 14th, 1833, in
what was then Henderson county,
but has since been cut off as a part
of Transylvania.
Mr, Moore professed faith in
Christ in his early manhood, join
ing the Baptist church at that time,
and has kept an active interest in
all affairs of his church since that
time. For the past thirty years or
more he has been a deacon of his
church.
Ho was married to Miss Ellen
Mariah McCrary on December .‘i,
1857, and to this union were born
six sons and three daughters. Ho
is survived by a wife, five sons and
three daughters: Mrs. E. D. Owen
of Lake Toxaway, Mrs. W. H. War
ren of Canton, N. C., Mrs. S. N.
Foster of Waynesville, N. C., P. C.
Moore, M. N. Moore and M. A.
Moore of Rosman. Also one broth
er, P. C. Moore of Little River,
survives.
The deceased was buried tit Mt.
Moriah church Wednesday after
noon, the funeral services being
conducted by Rev. J. N. Lee of
Rosman, and the services at the
grave being under the auspices of

In connection with the Institute
play, “The Taming of the Shrew’,”
last week, mention should be made
of the presentation of handsome
gifts to Miss Caroiline Trowbridge
and Miss Ammie Wilson by the
members of the cast in token of
the services rendered by these la
dies. Miss Trowbridge had charge
of the rehearsjtls and Miss Wilson
saperintended the making of the
costumes in the Institute sewing
rooms. Thanks are due to the
young ladies who so ably assisted
in this work.
We are preparing an exhibit from
all departments to be sent to the
general council of the M. E. Church,
South, to be held shortly at Wash
ington, D. C. A very creditable
exhibit will be sent and will be in
charge of Prof. Trowbridge, who
will attend the council.
The last term of 1913-14 opened
Tuesday, the third of March. Sev
eral new impils have entered the
regular departments and a number
of new names are enrolled for
the various special short courses
announced for the spring term.
There will be plenty of hard work
from now on till commencement,
which we hope to celebrate in our
new administration building, i
average net profit of twenty-one
dollars and ninety-eight cents on
each tenth of an acre. On this
basis it is estimated that last year
the ])roceeds of the canning clnb
work amounted to considerably
more than half a million dollars.
The reflex value of such enter
prise is incalculable. The de])art-
ment of agriculture aptly observes
that “when parents see by the
canning demonstration how^ easy
it is to keep their fruits and vege
tables, which hitherto have gone to
waste, they purchase home canners
I and can their ow’n products.” The
I canning club thus does for house-
' hold economy all that the corn club
I docs for the advancement of scien
tific agriculture. .Most important,
how’ever, is the fact that it opens a
new sphere of whol^'some interest
for the girls themselves and makes
farm life more engaging.—Atlanta

The Forty Year Test.
An article must have exceptional
merit to survive for a period of
forty years. Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy was first offered to the
public in 1872. From a small be
ginning it has grown in favor and
I>opularity until it has attained a
world wi^e reputation. You will
find nothing better for a cough or
cold. Try it and you will under
stand why it is a favorite after a
period of more than forty years.
It not only gives relief--it cures.
