VOLUME-XIX BREVIRB, NOBTH CiEOLINA. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23. 1914. 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.

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 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.

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. Mr. H. A. Parker, Com. Agent, Charlotte, N. 0. 10-23-3t Adv.
