A GOOD SUGGESTION
To the Christian People of Brevard
and Vicinity:
My Christian Friends: It seems
to me that it wonld be a happy and
helpful thing for ns all, drawing
na nearer to each other in the
bonds of Christian love and unity
and at the same time deeply im
press the careless and indifferent
among as, if we shonld all nnite at
'leilsi in tt few minntes of special
personal contemplation of Christ
crncified at noon on Good Friday,
April 13. When a president of the
United States dies during his term
of office, at the time of his funeral
there is a general cessation of bnsi-
ness for a few moments throngh-
ont the country; the country is
silent out of respect for his mem
ory.
The veterans or the Grand Army
observe a few minutes silence on
Memorial D;iy in commemoration
of the death of their comrades. It
is the world’s way of showing re
spect.
There is no expression of recog
nition or commemoration of the
sacrifice and death of the world’s
Saviour by the great Christian
world- It observes Christmas in
recognition of His birth; it very
largely observes Easter in com
memoration of His resurrection ;
the church has her communion and
Good Friday services, but for the
multitude of Christian i)cople who
iKjliove in (lirist, who Icriow His
memory and trust in His atoning
death, tliere i-s nci ex])ression or
commemoration of His death
winch at nil corresponds with that
o> lli> birth and i**surreftion.
Shall we not, then, unite in a few
minutes of thoughtful silence at
noon on (iood Friday, April I'itli,
in r<‘Cognition and coinniemoration
of tlu' sHcriflce and deatli of the
world's Saviour—your Saviour and
mini'—.md thus witness to the
world of OUT coimnon love and dts
votion to I!ini who st) loved us as
to die for nsV
Let lovti and loyalty unite us in
this act of reverence and devotion
to onr crncilied Lord and Master
whim; we love and whom we serve.

INSTITUTE NOTES
COUNTY COMMENCEMENT
Tlu‘ Adelj)hian Soei<*t ’ gave an
interesting jjrograni on Mureh '27,
Last Friday, April 3rd, the sec
ond annual commencement of the
Transylvania public schools was
held at Brevard. A number of stu
dents from the various school dis
tricts were in attendance. The
weather, unlike that on the last
commencement day, April 12, 1913,
was unusually fine, favorable for
both the indoor exercises and the
sports on the athletic field.
At 9 o’clock a. m. the teachers
and i>upils of the Brevard graded
school met at the school building,
and forming in ranks according to
grades, went to the depot to meet
those coming down on the morning
train. Then all marched together
in a long line, with banners float
ing, up Depot street. North Cald
well, and Main street, a veritable
“army of the school room, stepping
on in gallant line,” and filed into
the Auditorium, where tke exer
cises w’ere to be held.
Forty-five representatives from
seventh grades took seats on the
stage. The string band from Little
River occupied one side of the
stage, and furnished music to
please the audience and to hearten
the seventh grade contestants. A
large crowd of patrons, school chil
dren, and others interested in the
commencement exercises tilled the
Auditorium.
The following was the order of
exercises:
Prayer by Rev. \V. M. Rolfblns
of the Brevard Methodist chureh. '
Declamation contest by boys
from the seventh grade: Elliott
Tinsley of Selica school, “No Suc
cess \Vithi>nr threat Labor
Duckworth t)f Brevard
school, “Seir Sacrifice.”
Recitation contest by girls frt^in
seventh grade: Maxie Reece, (^Hie-
beo. “How Mrs. Smart Tioarned to
Skate;” (-;en(*va Wilson. S*-]iea.t
I “Soliloquy Helen Underliill, Ros-
jman. “Annt Rleanora's Heroi
Annie Snelson. Brt^vard, “Lasca."
' The coTnniittee ot jndges eon- |
I sisted of R(‘v. \V. M. Robbins, Mr. '
I
i A. C. Reynolds of Tullowhee, ae.d
j Mr. R. A. Sentell of Waynesville.
In announcing their decision the
I judges gave hononible mention to
I the name of Miss Maxio Roeco of ■
' t^nebec. while awarding the decis
ion to .Misy Annie Snelson of Br«>- j
vard and Ralpli Duckworth also of
Brevard.
The ])rize in each contest was a |
five-dollar gold i»ieeo. These v.ere '
ment was recoived with muoh ap
plause.
The last on the program was a
spelling match among the seventh
grade .representatives from the
various schools. Ten or twelve of
these formed in line on the stage,
and the words were given out by
Mr. Welch Galloway. _ When the
contestants missed, they took their
seats. One after another went
down nntil only two. Miss' Lola
Townsend of Penrose and Miss
Norma Chapman of Quebec, re
mained. Then Miss Townsend
went down on the word “colonel,”
w-hich was spelled by Miss Chap
man. To her was presented a five-
dollar gold piece.
LADIES’ NIGHT
Ralph
graded
The Br3vard Club will give its
first open night, or ladies’ night,
next Monday, when the club rooms
will be thrown open to the ladies.
Each member of the club has the
privilege of inviting one lady to
this meeting. Additional invita
tions can be secured by application
to the board of governors, how
ever. '
The Langren orchestra of Ashe
ville will be present to make music
for the occasion, and at some time
during the evening the ladies will
be shown just how tastily the men
can prepare and serve a buffet
luncheon of the most elaborate
kind.
Jndjring from ])resent indications
there will be a large att(*ndance at
this meeting, and it promises to be
a brilliant social event.
At the organization of the club
})rovisions vvere made fora “ladies’
night” once a month, but until now
it has not been .carried into effect.
The members of the club are
justly proud of their organization
and they desire to secure the co-
operation'of the ladies in the work
they arc^ doing. The meeting Mon
day night v.ill doubtless ]»romote a
b(‘tter understanding betwet'ii the
ladies and the club members.

At her home in Brevard, at an
early honr Sunday morning, March
29, 1914, Mrs. D. P. Bishop was
found dead in bed by the side of
her husband. She had been well
and worked all day on Saturday,
retired abont ten o’clock and was
awake at one o’clock, but soon
after, in the stillness of the night,
and most probably while asleep,
the soul took its departure to God
who gave it, leaving a smile upon
the face.
Her maiden name was Mary
Hawkins, daughter of William
Hawkins, of Greenville county, S.
C. She and Mr. Bishop were
reared in the same community, and
were both baptized into the fellow
ship of Enoree Baptist church
when she was thirteen years old.
When she was fourteen Mr. Bishop
enlisted in the Fourth South Caro
lina regiment and went to Virginia
and was in the battle of Manassas.
After one year he came home on
furlough, and when ready to start
back to the army her father died,
and they were married, though she
was only fifteen, and left her w’ith
his father and spent three more
years in war, but was transferred
and served in South Carolina and
Georgia in front of Sherman’s
army. He was in the battle of
Bentonsville, after the surrender
of Gen. Lee. So, when arms were
stacked and many returned with

They remained in Greenville
county, S. C., for five years, and
then came to Haywood county, N.

There they reared their family of

Jones of Buncombe county, and
Mrs. Cora Dean, Brevard.
In Haywood her church mem-

Baptist and Waynesville Baj)tist,
and in Transylvania, where they
came and resided for the last ten
years, it was with llrevard Baptist.

suming ‘Christian with a genuine

A FREE FOR ALL FIGHT
A free for all running fight oc
curred just across the river from
Pisgah Forest last Sunday morning
about three o’clock between Jesse
Hall, a man named McGaha and
four negroes, in which the negroes
seem to have gotten the worst of
the argument. All four of the ne
groes received*'?;^ ) or less serious
wounds from a ' irving knife in the
hands of one of the white men.
From information coming in it
seems that a disagreement arose
over a card game at some place
near the “julep stand” and the
fight ensued. For awhile it seemed
that one of the negroes would die,
but all w’ill recover.
Sheriff Pickelsimer, accompanied
by Deputy Harris, went to the
scene of the fight early Sunday
morning and arre.sted the two
white men, but in some manner
they both later made their escape
and as yet have not been recap
tured. .lesse Hall had succeeded
in making a verbal bond before he
ran away, and although the bond
has not been signed his bondsman
will stand to his agreement.

Nine times out of ten, when you
are ill or out of sorts, your liver is
out of order, and getting it in order
again will jnake you feel better.
When your liver is sluggish and
torpid and you are constipated and
bilious, It is impossible to feel well.
There was a time when a iireat
number of ]>eople took calomel
when so troubled. But this is not
true today. It has become widely
known that calomel often has bad
