C., tilling him to look out for a man in a stolen auto, which had left Greenville the day before headed this way. About 3 p. m. a white man and a negro passed down Main street in a high-backed Maxwell car on which there was no license tag and took, as later transpired, the road leading past Mr. T. H. Hampton’s. The sheriff’s party started in pur suit and met the negro coming back walking and arrested him. In a few minutes they met the white man, who was also returning in the car. Both were taken and locked up in jail. The white man gave his name as Clarence Smith, and said that he lived in Greenville. Ho was travel- stained and disreputable looking, and bis eyes had a wild glare, but his manner was calm and collccted enough as he told his tale. He ex onerated the negro, saying that he had picked him up in Greenville, and did not want him to sufi'er. Smith put the blame on himself and boo'/e, which he says had made him crazy. The car, he said, had been loaned to him by J. M. Steele of Greenville to carry a man homo, j and after he had performed this! mission, whiskey did the rest. j The negro gave his name as Tom | Robinson, and rolling up his s^leeve | I showed ihe letters T. J. li. as cor-1 Iroboratinf' hjs statement. He pro- j fessed to know nothing ubont the ; I white man beyond his acquaint-1 ; linen on thi.s exciting riJo. i { When Smith wus in theueigh-} ! borhood of Cedar Mountain on his | ! ride, the much-driven Maxwell fe.l i j in need of re^mir. He phoned ln') e 1 I to Mr. A. H. King for help, giving | his name us West tjf Greenvillr.j Mr. King sent the needed batteries and received a worthless check ia payment. The transtormation of Smith in Greenville to West at Cedar Mountain und 1 ajk again to Smith behind the bars of the Bre vard jail was worthy of eomi.ari-j son with Dr. Jekyll'and Mr. Hyde. J I xlfter notifying the sheriff of j j Greenville county of the cdjiture j I the rnnuwuy, Sherift' Picl.clsijner { I received a message that the (Irven j ville ollieer would eomo to iJrevui 1 ! on,the train Thursday. Ho al.so ! stated that Smith w«s u noted I crook and would net d eIo.se vcatell ing.

Cham berlain's Cough Remedy meets all these requirements. It acts on natarii'a plan, relieves the lungs, aids expectoration, opens the secre tions and restores the system to a iiealthy condition. This remedy has a world wide sale and use, and can always bo depended ui>on. Sold |»y 8. M. Macfie.

It*sa pity that the farmers of thej country do not use moro of tli H local prod lift rather than ship U in. Squire John S. Booggs had tlie misfortune to cripple his mare on the first of iiay on the Vanderbilt crosslaid road. Why don’t the county take over that roud or make the estate carry out its contract? The squire thanks his neighbors for coming in and planting his corn for him. Mr. Willie Deaver took his two horse corn planter up Turkey Creek and planted Mr. David Hollings worth’s croj) for him. Most everyone is well up with their planting in this neighborhood. Mr. Delis Lyday had the misfor tune to cripple his mulo a few days ago. Mr. William Lyday, who lost a part of his hand at tbs Pisgah Hardwood Co. plant a few weeks ago, we are glad to note, is rapidly improving. We understand that eighteen of the twenty-six Hungarians who have been employed in the woods by Carr Lumber Co. have left for parts unknown.

Morgan died at his home near Chsrryfield on Friday morn ing at 9 :;?0 o’clock, April ^!, 1911. Brother Morgan wus sixty-three years nine months and seventeen days old und had lived the greater part of his life on his farm near Ch(!rryfleld, and after having reached matni'c age he was made to realize the need of living a higher and better life. He there fore gave his heart to God, united with 'the Mt. Moriah Baptist church and was Baptised by Rev. F. M. Jordan, remaining a member of his churcJi till his death. He was for many years superintendent of his Sunday school and a regular attendant at church. Brother Mor gan leaves behind but four chil dren, one son and three daughters, to mourn their loss, his wife and four children having gone on be fore. Brother Morgan was a kind, sympathetic neighbor, ever ready to help in time of need, and that he had iv host of friends was mani fested at the funeral service by the large audience that attended the service. The children desire to thank tho neighbors and friends for their help and kindness during the illness and death of their father. T. C. Holsclaw, BOYLESTON NEWS A BEAUTIFUL BOOKLET i The catalogue recently issued by the Frenoh Broad Summer Camp is a well-printed, carefully prepared booklet and will not only serve to place the claims of the promoters of the camp school before the pub lic, but will also'be of great adver tising value to the town as well. The booklet is profusely illustrat ed, containing a number of pictures never before shown, showing the beautiful location selected by Capt. H. E. Raines and his associates, to gether with a large number of river views at and near the camp sito. In the preparation of the booklet, as in the building of the camp, no expense has been spared and the results will doubtless jus tify the action of the school men. In the text matter the book tells in a clear-cut business like w’ay the the many advantages offered by the French Broad Camp, explaining its purpose, what the camp is not and what the camp is. In describing the location of the camp the pro moters recite the fact that they spent several months in looking over various states for the location, that they found ideal conditions here. The excellent hotel and rail road accommodations of Brevard are also fully set out, and a tribute to the local scenery, climate, etc., is made. The booklet al.so tells of the splen did facilities furnished for boating, swimming, irtitriping, etc . giving an.oatliue of i^-iHlncutlinial vfork. athTvties, et^-;?’feeveral pages arc devoted to recommendations of the camp promoters from prominent educators, business men and others. The booklet makes very interest ing reading, und from reports from Charleston it is showing very grat ifying results. A large number of appications and inquiries have al ready been received and more are coming in daily. W^e predict for the camp school a big success. AUCTION SALE PASTOR ELECTED . The Baptist congregation bad the privilege and pleasure of ^sten- ing to two able sermons last Sun day, preached by Rev. W. W. Marr of Biltmore. , At the close of the morning ser vice a congregational meeting wa» held pursuant to a Call announced some time ago. This meeting had for its object the election of a i>as- tor.

Brevard people will bo interested in the following account of the pro motion of Mr. E.W.Carter, who was for a number of years agent and dis patcher for the Transylvania di vision of the Southern railway with offices in Brevard. The following account is taken from the current issue of the Southern News Bulletin, a monthly periodical devoted to thii i n terests of r« 'Jij?Q*d men : "‘E. V/.

Mrs. Wiley Taylor spent a few days last week at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. P. Orr, returning to her home Thursday. Everett Thomas has completed his new home and mo^ed into it. Boboli.vk. The clean up campaign observed last week can well be called a suc cess. Although some expressed the opinion that all the garlago that would be collected could bo hauled at one load, one team was busy all day and another for most of the day, and with all that they did not get everything hauled. ^ Taking the short notice property owners had into con.cideration we believe a very creditable showing was made, and much improvement can be noticed. All that is needed now is for the health officers to get behind those property owners who did not clean up and make them do it. Wc have had some fine woather for work and tho people have been doing a lot of it. Some are done planting corn and some have not jdanted anj^ yet. The rain of Wed nesday night was of great benefit to the farmers. Widow M. M. Cash had tho mis fortune to lose two good cows, the only cows she had ,rerently. They were poisoned in some way. Elza and Jessie Cash went fish- ing last Saturday. They caught seventy trout. D. L. Green has been building a lot of new fence and clearing this spring. This is a good sign. There is a good prospect ior fruit here this season, if it is not killed. Squire Head caught three largo wild cats a while back. Mrs. Ada Parker has been on the sick list for a month or so. Wo are glad to say she is im]>roving. Four or five big rattlesnakes have been killed by various people in this section recently, as well as a lot of other kinds of snakes. Rev. S. R. Reid filled his appoint ment at the Biiptist church on May* 3rd, preaching to a large congre- Rheumatism,Quickly Cured. “My sister’s husband had an at tack of rheumatism in his arm,” writes a well knowm resident of Newton, Iowa. “I gave him a bot tle of Chamberlain’s Liniment which he applied to his arm and on the next morning the rheumatism was gone.” For chronic muscular rheumatism yon will find nothing better than Chamberlain’^ Lini ment.
