NUMBER-4^
A GOOD MEETINC
The revival siflrvicea at the Meth-
odist^huroh, 'which be»^aii the flirst
of iHHt week, were cod tinned tmtil
last ^Wedneatluy night, wh*»n the
closing meeting was held. The at-
tsndanoe last week was cnt short
by the long period of heavy rains,
bnt after Friday the congregations
were nniforinly good. Sandav
night the other chnrches were
closed, and the Methodist chnrch
was filled, both ^ in the main andi-
toriam and the Snnday schcol an
nex.
A great deal of interest was
manifested among the people pf all
denominations, as evidenced by the
numbers in attendance, the close
attention to the preaching, and the
resi>on8e to exhortation and in vita
tion. Rev. W. M. Biles showed
himself to be a* preacher of great
evangelistic power. He has the
remarkable ability to present his
thonghts logically and concisely
and at the same time with snch
feeling as to take strong hold on
the minds of hisandienco. The at-
ten'danoe gave no signs of dimin
ishing np to the very close, and the
last meeting was one of the most
etfective.
There were several additions to
the church during the meeting, and
a number of renewed professions
by church members.
Mr. Biles left for his home at
Newton on Thursday morning.
BIAKTYRE BREEZES
Please give me space to represent
Blantyre.
D R. Jns'ifrt seeins to be very
optiiuistic. He says i3lantyre will
come it when the war is over.
B. R. Ledbrttter has grown weak
in the kness since testing the local
' talent in Blantyre’s debating so
ciety. It is rumored that he is go
ing to bring Governor Blease in to
reprieve him from defeat.
Born to Mr. and Mrs. Elijah
Hamilton, a daughter.
Married, at*J. J. Gray’s, on Sun-
diy, the 27th, at 3 o’clock, Mr.
James Klpatrick, commonly known
as “Jim Pap,” to a lady by the
name of Lyday. This is the third
time Uncle Jim has married. We
ext«nd congratulations to him on
^this occasion and winh him a happy
time in the evening of life.
Mrs. A. J. McClain is preserving
t’le fjreat auction display sign on
the lot she recently bought from
the Baldwin estate as an emblem
of l>etter times.
The public school at this place is
greatly hindered on account of the
whooping cough. The faculty is
greatly liked by the ]>atrons.
I was greatly surprised to note in
last week's issue of the News an
article from Mr. Lee Norton con-
cernin;' Mr. W. J. McKinna’s po
litical attitude. Wherein does Mr.
Norton take exception, when his
party claims the panacea for a
thousand and one political ills? It
will take lot.*i of turn coats to bar
Mr. Pickolsimcr irom the sheriff’s
office. So return ye backsliders or
you will be doomed to defeat.
The recent rains which caused
French Bread to jjot out of banks
has done considt-rah’e damage to
the farmers in tiiis vicinity. The
state test farm at this place has
suffered consider <bte loss on ac
count of the high water which
washed one hundred bushels of
corn down against a hedge row.
The force is now shucking it out
and find it seriously damaged

COMMUNITY SERVICE DAYS
What Would You Do?
There are many times when one
man questions another’s actions
and motives. Men act differently
under different circumstances. The
question is, what would you do
right now if you had a severe cold?
Could yon do better than to take
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy? It
is highly recommended by people
who have used it for years and
know its value. Mrs. O. E. Sar>
gent, Peru, Ind., says, “Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy is worth its
weight in gold and I take pleasnre
in recommending it.” For sale by
all dealers. adv
Governor Craig has set apart
December 3, 4 and 5 to be observed
as “Community Service Days”
throughout North Carolina. A
state committee was appointed and
is organize to put into effect the
governor’s proclamation. It is the
purpose of the state committee to
organize the material and machin

The county committee of this
county, consisting t)f the chairman
of the county board of education,
the county superintendent of
schools, the secretary of the county
farmers union, the mayor of the
county seat, and the editor of the
county newsjiaper met in the office
of the county superintendent of
schools on Wednesday of last week
and organized for the work in this
county. The chairman of the
county board of education, T. H.
Galloway, was elected chairman of
the county comarrtttce. The county
superintendent of schools is to
serve as secretary of the county
committee, having been named for
this position by the state commit
tee. Five other persons in the
county were selected to serve on
the county committee. *
A local committee of five was
appointed for each school district
in the county to have d*rect over
sight of the work in these se»eral
communitit-s.
If thrt ])Ltns for the ohs*v‘rv«ncc of

SENATORIAL CONVENTION
The democratic senatorial con
vention for the thirty-seventh sena
torial district was held in Waynes-
ville last Friday afternoon, Hon.
Cos Paxton of Transylvania county
being nominated by acclamation as
the candidate of his party in this
district, composed of Haywood,
Jackson, Swain and Transylvania.
Eu*h of the forir counties v.as
rt presentud when Chairautn .John
M. Qaeen of the distaict execuiive
commi^^tee called the convention to
order, and named former Attorney
General R. D. Gilmer of Waynes-
ville as chairman and Messrs. R B.
Wilson and J. S. Bohannon as sec
retaries. The temporary organi/>a-
tion was on motion made perma
nent, and nominations were de
clared ia order.
Mr. William E Breese of Bre
vard, a former state senator from
this district, plkced the name of
Mr. Paxton before the convention.
He explained the custom whereby
the tenatorial candidate is chosen
in alternation from each of the tour
counties composing the district,
paying Haywood a high comjjli-
ment for having made such an ar-
rangement possible when this
county has the overwhelming dem
ocratic majority and could easily
name the candidate each time
should it choose. In nominating
Mr. Paxton it was pointed out that
in him Transylvania had selected
one of its strongest democrats to
lead the fight, a man who four
years ago defeated for the demo
cratic nomination for clerk of the
court of his county one of the
strongest democrats, and then at
the general election was trium
phant over the republicans, and
that in a very close county.
At the conclusion of Mr. Breese’s
speech on motion of Mr. F. W. Mil
ler of Waynesville the nomination
of Mr. Paxton was made by accla
mation. He responded in a few
well chosen words, expressing his
gratitude for the honor conferred
upon him and promising an ener
getic campaign of the four counties
between now and November 3.
The following district executive
committee was then chosen and the
convention adjourned: Chairman,'
\y. E. Breese, Jr., of Brevard; T.
D. Bryson and A. H. Hays of Swain
county, Dan Tompkins and John
Leather wood of Jackson connty,
VV. J. Haynes and John W. Wright
of Haywood, and R. F. Glazener
and Wait Kilpatrick of Transyl
vania.
TOXAWAY BEATS QUEBEC
The Quebec school was visit^
by the Lake Toxaway school last
Friday. In the afternoon the two
schools engaged in a spelling match,
in which the fifth, sixth and sev
enth grades took part. Much in
terest was taken on both sides by
the pnpils, and good spelling was
done by all, bat the pnpils of Lake
Toxaway school were too strong
for the Qaebec school.
After the spelMng match an in
teresting hall game was played
which resulted in a tie.
HOMICIDE AT PISCAN FOREST
On Tuesday morning, October 20;
the body of a man was found in
Davidson river by D. E. Whitt, a
resident of Pisgah Forest. The
body was found near the end of a
foot bridge not far from Hedrick’s
store.
When the dead man was taken
out of the water a braise was dis
covered on the side of the face ex
tending to the back of the head.
In his pockets some money in coili
and bills was fotind. The bills—
about four in number—were torn
in two. Letters and paperji^were
also found upon the body, and his
name, as gathered from there, was
seen to be B. S. McTindell, with
the address 206 Hammett street,
GreenVille, S. C. At the rear of
Hedrick’s store a suit case was
found, and in the suit case were
papers having the same name.
From somewhere near this latter
point to the river there was a track
where some object had been
dragged along the ground.
McTindell had been an employee
of the Keystone Circus Company,
which showed at Pisgah Forest
Monday night, and when the body
was found, was preparing to show
at Brevard. It seems that he had
left the company, or had been dis
charged at Penrose, and had fol
lowed them to Pisgah Forest de
manding his pay. After receiving
it, he had been seen by several per
sons hanging around the store in a
drunken cunditjon.
All the men of the circus were
arrested here Tusday and spent the
night in jail awaiting a preliminary
trial. Thii% was held before the
recorder Wednesday morning. The
defendants were Sam Dock, man
ager, and thirteen others, a few of
whom were negroes. Nothing was
brought out in the evidence to
fasten suspicion upon the show
men, so they were all discharged.
The body of B. S. McTlndal was
kept at Kilpatrick’s undertaking
establishment from Tuesday till
Thursday morning. A brother,
Mr. J. H. McTindal, arrived from
Greenville Wednesday night, and
the deceased was taken Thursday
morning to Greenville for inter
ment.
B. S. McTmdal was a young man
and unmarried. He had been con
nected with the circus for about a
week before his deiith.
BALSAM GROVE
BAPTIST ASSOCIATION
Farmers are generally through
fodder pulling now.
Thursday there was a terrible
rain liere which washed av.’ay all
the trestles on the railroad from
Rosman to tne head of the road.
A lot of foot logs over the river
were taken.
Two new homes are being built
in this locality—that of Mr. Horace
Galloway and Mr. Louit MovJall.
A few weeks ago there was a
bQX supper at the school house.
Owing to many citizens being out
of the community (attending court)
and it being a very inclement
night, only a few people came.
But $13.75 was realizjgd. Six dol
lars was used for having stove flue
moved from the center of the room
to one corner. The remaining §7.75
was used in getting a library. The
balance, $3.25, for the library was
easily raised by subscription.
Mr. Judson Corn has just closed
an eleven days meeting here so he
could attend the meeting at Mt.
Moriah. There was splendid order
during all the services. Great in
terest was manifested by the peo
ple, almost everybody stopping
work to attend the services. There
were twenty-ftve who joined the
church. On Friday night before
the'fourth Sunday, Saturday at
eleven o’clock and Saturday night
there will be preaching again at
the church. On the morning of
the foarth Sunday there will be a
baptizing.
The Shoal Creek school has been
having good attendance. Nearly
forty-one for the* first twp months
was the average. F. M.
The Transylvania 'County Bap
tist Association held its annual
meeting vrith the Mount Moriah
church at Calvert last week from
Thursday till Sunday. Rev. A. J.
Manly was moderator, T. C. Hen
derson, clerk.
When the association convened
the freshet was at its worst, and
in consequence many of the dele
gates had not arrived. They camjB
later, however, and the representa
tion was good, though seven
churches were unrepresented. Re
ports from the various churches
were read. These reports showed
some gains in membership and
financial contribution.
The most interesting features of
the association were the reading of
the reports on the various subjects
usually considered and addresses
by Rev. W. R. Bradshaw on state
missions. Rev. J. C. Owen on home
missions, W. R. Beach in the in
terests of the Biblical Recorder,
and Archibald Johnson, editor of
Charity and Children, in behalf of
the orphanage.
The meeting was well attended
by the people of the community,
and their hospitality was much ap
preciated by the delegates.
The question of establishing a
denominational school iti this
county was left open for another
year, and anyone having a propo
sition to make may do so before
the next annual meeting.
SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY
To Shippers and Receivers of
Freight in North Carolina :
Attention is called to revised tar
iffs containing rates for the trans
portation of freight between points
in North Carolina, effective Octo
ber 13, 1914. These tariffs are is
sued in accordance with the de
cision of the special rate commis
sion, dated August 13, 1914.
All freight tariffs of the South
ern Railway Company in conflict
with the provisions of this order
have been canceled or revised to
conform to the rates, rules and
regulations prescribed by the spe
cial rate commission.
Special attention is called to the
fact that in the application of this
new law, many important changes
and new conditions are brought
about, the knowL (Igo of which is
os-sential to ovcrr sliij^per and re
ceiver of freight in North Caro
lina. Ordinarily there i.-^ but one
rate between any two points within,
the state. Under the new law
there will be as many rates be
tween two given points as there
are available routes between such
points. A new basis for making
joirt rates with other linos is pro
vided and the shipper has the right
to select the Shortest available
route. ^ Some of these rentes^
while physically shorter tlinn oth
ers, are longer from the stand
point of efficient service, and the
the movement of freight via these
unusual routes will necessarily re
quire more time than if sent via
more efficient routes.
Shippers should in all cases in
sert in the bill of lading the route
over which it is desired that the
shipment move. If shipments are
tendered to agents of this company
and destined to a point on its own
line, but without specific routing
instructions, it will be assumed
that it is the desire of the shipper
that the shipment move over the
Southern railway at its lawfully
established rate, even though a
lower rate may be in force via an
other route. For further intorma-
tion apply to the agent of this com
pany or to the following officers:
Mr. Hamilton Baxter,
Div. Frt. Agent, Greensboro, N. C.
Mr. j. H. Andrews,
Div. Frt. Agent, Raleigh, N. C.
Mr. a. K. Orr,
Div. Frt. Affent, Asbeville, N. C.
