PREACHING NEXT WEEK
TEACHERS’ MEETING
MIXED TiCRET EUCTED
The resscilta of Taepday’s election
show what may he called a aweep-
iOR Repnblican victory, althoQKh
at some points along the line th^
Democrats held their own. The
tabulated returns, published in
this issue, tell the story in cold
figures.
While the Republicans are re
joicing o*er a great victory, the
fact is that the relative positions
are about the sftme as they were
after the election of 4913. The of
fice of oierk of court, which was
not in the contest at that time, will
still be held by a Democrat N. A.
Miller, the Democratic candidate,
had a clear majority over A. E.
Hampton, the Republican candi-
dati3. At this|writing Cedar Moun
tain hag not been heard from, but
it« returns cannot materially af
fect the results already obtained.
Two Democrats, T, S. Wood and G.
T. Lyday, have been elected along
Vfith one Republican, W. L. Talley,
on the board of county commis-
sioers. C. R. Sharj) was elected
surveyor on the Democratic ticket.
Outside of these four democrats
the county has gone repnblican. A
glance at the totals will show that
everywhere along the line the con
test was very close. No candidate
need feel ashamed of the votes he
got.
Tuesday was an ideal day for
out-of-iloors. All clny lonj; candi
dates and workers uf both parties
gathered in knots on the streets
and in every available spot. At
one time in the day the hopes of
the dtmocrats were hitrh, and
prophe^ie8 were confident. But
Brevard township always relied on
as strongly demccratio, showed de
cided republican gains in the final
count. The increase in population
of the last two years has been
largely in favor of the latter imrty.
At night the street scenes showed
the festivity of a occasion.
Democrats and republicans min
gled their voices in shout and song,
knowing that ere many honrs had
passed some of the shontins' would
become more feeble. Some of the
most festive danced the “High
land” fling and cut the rngeonwing
and generally kei>t the onlookers
in a state of hilarity. On both
sides of Main street and down the
mitldle were numbers of ladies
who had come ont to patronize the
Betterment oyster suppt-r, but who
d’.d not fail to fake iu the political
si>ectacle.
To add to the interest of the
evening the Bre\Mr<l Aninsement
Company threw some of the tp-
tnrns on a sh«‘cf str«^tched on the
walls on the S )utli side rf Main
street, and also gave free picture
iihows on the same street.
Two years ago the highest vote
in the county was (>70, polled for
Pickelsimer for sheriff. This year
thH highest vote as yet obtained, is
7.‘>7 for X. A. Miller for clerk.
For R J. A. Forsythe,
who had no opposition received
1351 votes. For Congress, J. J,
Britt had a majority over J. M.
Gudger of 11 votes.
Outside the connty the results
have been favorable to the Repub
licans. J. J Britt has received a
majority vote for congrress over J.
M. Gndfifftr. and Blythe has defeat
ed Schenck for solicitorship. But
Cos Paxton, the Democratic nomi
nee for the Siate Senate, has been
elected.
Since the above was written, the
complete official returns have been
received, and they appear in the
tabulated list.
COUNTY FARMERS UNION
There will be a meeting of the
county farmers’ union on Friday
morniog of this week at Island
Ford school house. The mem
bers will be addressed by Mr. J. Z.
Green, state organizer.
Other meetings during the week
where Mr. Green has been sched
uled to speak are at Rosman Thnrs*
day morning for the purpose of or-
gnoizing a union, at Quebec local
Thursday evening and at the Lit
tle River local Friday evening.|
GRANTED LEAVE OF ABSENCE
Mr. J. F. Hays, who was the
builder of the Transylvania Rail
road and who, except for a tew
years while located at Asheville as
General Agent for the Southern
Railway, has been in charge of the
operation of the Transylvania line
for a number of years, first for the
Transylvania Company proper, and
afterwards for the Southern Com
pany after the making of the lease
from the Transylvania to the South
ern, and who has had official con
nection with the Southern Compa
ny in other capacities, has been
given a leave of absence for an in
definite period
the relief from the
the operation of the road will give
him an opportunity w’hile free
from responsibilities, to make a
proper recovery of his healih, and
his friends join with him in the
hope that he will regain his health
entirely, within a short time, and
again be able to take up work.
Mr. Hays has possibly done more
for this section of the State than
any other man iu it. Coming here
several years a{<t> he became inter
ested in the development of this
beantiful counti-y and to recite the
list of his accomplishments would
be to print a list of wlniost every
important industrial development
started in this section in recent
years.
Mr. Hays will retain his position
as Vice-President of the Transyl
vania Railroad Company, presi
dent of the Asheville Craggy
Mountain road, and Vice-President
of the Asheville-Northern, and
while he does not sever entirely
his connection with the Southern
Comj)any he will not be called upon
for any duty until he is in lu-tter
health, or, the road may need hi?'
services hero or el.-ewherc, his re
covery of hfallh 1m in*' the prime
factor in being relieved from da
ties which in times past have been
oppressive and calling for ni<.re
time than he was able to give. ,
The work of the Transybania
division of the Southern rojtduill
devolve upon Mr. A H CaUUv.'1,
now (VHinmnster-rui.dtnnsltT vi:h
the assistance of Mr. D. U. Ward,
who has acted as chief clerk to Mr.
Hays for a number of years. Both
of these gentlemen have been con
nected with the Transvlvania di
vision since its establishment in
1908, and having had long training
with the Southern company will,
without doubt, give the same dili
gent attention to the patrons that
has been given in the past The
Transylvania division will, in the
future, report directly to Mr. G. li.
Loyal 1, general superintendent of
the middle district, with head
quarters at Knoxville, Tenn.,
rather than to Mr. Hays as in the
past.
* The News expresses the senti-
mentsof hundreds of friends of Mr.
Hays when it expresses the hope
that he may soon fully aud entirely
recover his health and return to
Brevard and continue In the great
work of developing our resources.

The members of the congrega
tion are looking forward to this

ommended as a man and a minis

CARD OF THANKS
I wish to thank my many friends
both republicans and democrats,
who worked in my behalf at the
polls on last Tuesday. As shown
by the returns my party was loyal
to me in every township except
Hogback. Although defeated, I
have much to rejoice over, as we
have carried our congressional dis
trict, elected our sheriff and tax
collector and most of our connty
ticket. While I may never be be
fore my people again asking their
suffrage, yon will always find Alf
Hampton loyal and in the front
ranks, fighting for the interest of
the repnblican party, which for
the past thirtyrthree years I have
belonged to. Bespeotftilly,
A. E. Hampton.

SCHOOL AT lAXE TOXAWAY
The new school house at Lake
Toxaway has been finished and the
school moved into it the first of
this month. The building is a
great improvement on the old one,
besides being much nearer the sta

spects this new house is in advance
of the many good school houses
which have been erected in the
past few years. It contains, in all,
six rooms, two of which are the
main recitation rooms. The oth
ers are for cloaks and hats, lunch
convenience and a library.
With its removal to the new
building, another teacher has been
added. Miss Lona McKinna, hav
ing resigned her position for good
reasons at the Laurel Creek school,
was elected primary teacher for the
Lake Toxaway school, and entered
upon her duties there last Monday.

has been done by the principal, Mr.

Despondency Due to Indiscf^ti^li
It is not at all surpstsing that
persons who have indig^tion be
come discouraged and despondent.
Hese are a few words of hope and
cheer for them by Mrs, Blanche
Bowers, Indiana, Fa. “For years
my digestion was so poor, that I
conld only eat the lightest food&
I tried everything that I heard id
to get relief, but not until abotit a
year ago when J. saw Chamberlain's
'S^bletfl advertised and got a bottle
of them, did I find the right trest'
ment. I soon began to iminrove,
and since taking a few bpttiesQf
them my digestion is fine.” For
