BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY. APRIL 3. 1914.
NUMBER-U
REV. R. D. CROSS RESIGNS
At the conclusion of the services
at the Baptist church last Sunday
uorning the pHStor, Rev, R. D.
Cross, offered his resignation, stat
ing that be had been considering a
call to Matthews, N. C., for the
past several weeks, and that he
believed it best for all concerned
that ho take up the work there.
The members of the church had
known tor some time that he was
considering a change and therefore
the resignation did not.comeasa
great surprise.
Mr. Cross came to Brevard as
pastor of the Baptist church Octo
ber 1st, li>12, and since then the
work of the church has prospered,
the .roi>ort for last year showing
more work done than ever in the
history of tlie church. Since his
coming here he has occupied his
pulpit twice every Sunday hardly
without exception, and his going
away at the beginning of the snni-
nier season will prove a decided
loss.to_ the church as it will bo very
hard to lintl as capable a man in
such a short time.
Alter some discussion by the
members the resignation was ac
cepted to take effect April 15.

ley, P. Q. Alexander, and a large
number of other progressive demo
crats of the state recently^ issued a
call to the democratic voters of the
state to meet in Raleigh on Wednes
day, April 8th, for the purpose of

ing of the legislature. Hundreds
of democrats throughout the state

next week. The following is the
text of the call as issued :
To the Democratic Voters of North
Carolina:
Whereas, wo have come upon a
signal hour of democratic achieve
ment in our state and the republic,
an hour when the people having
w aried of the standpatism of its
opponents have given leadership
to the democratic party, and the
party in turn is demonstrating its
power and readiness as the cham
pion of tho masses, the foe of privi
lege, and the vehicle of general
l)rogress; and
Whereas, the widespread and
d3ep-felt interest in certain great
measures for the further upbuild- j
ing of North Carolina and the in-!
spiring reeord of progres our com
monwealth has already made under
democratic administration alike
1ndic*ate that the democratic voters
of the state are athrob with * the
same passion for large and historic
service that is distinguishing the
democracy throughout theUnit<d
States and esi)ecially the aJminis
tration of President A’ilson ; and
Whereas, there is a general de
mand that the democrats of North
I’arolina shall now take counsel
together in order to ])nt before
their party for consideration in
tU' season u definite ])regram of
utes and snch advances in legisla
tion as localities may demand for
themselves.
5. Unrelenting fidelity to the
position alrwdy taken with re
spect to freight rates and the dis
crimination of insurance rates and
discriminations.
6. Earnest consideration of the
demands of the organized farmers
of the state (1) for rural credits, (2)
for the segregation of lands between
the races wherever it may be de
manded, and (3) for agriculture in
the schools.
, 7. An improved child labor law.
8. A better business system for
the state, insuring economical ex
penditure of appropriations and a
better co-ordination of the activi
ties of the itite institutions.

One of the qniekpst arrests, tri
als and convictions ever made in
this county was in the cases of the
eleven negroes who made an assault
with deadly weax>ons upon a white
man on Davidson river on March
18th. The work of the officers of
the law in this case is commended,
and if the same dispatch of justice
could always prevail it is certain
that lynchings would become a
thing unknown in this county.
The crime charged against the
defendants occurred in the after
noon on the 18th, and on the after
noon of the l9th those who were
convicted and sent to the roads
were on their way to join the good
roads forces at the camp near
Davidson River station. The fol
lowing defendants were involved
in this assault and each received
punishment at the recorder's hands
as indicated: Ed Anderson, ten
months; George Chambers, ten
months ; C. T. Burgin^ ten months ;
Will Mesher, not guilty ; John Al
len, three months; Owen Hill, not
guilty; Henry Hall, prayer for
judgment, prayer continued on
payment of the costs ; Joe Ander
son, three months ; Ed Deck, to be
hired out by the commissioners for
$50; Joe Smith, not guilty; Jim
Franklin, not guilty ; in all adding
three years’ time to the road work.
