Jones Wrestling With j County, But They’re Transportation and j Here Finances I “i saw a sparrow and heard a ! Yellow Hammer, but we had a B. Jones, superintendent of j time,” said Judge H. Hoyle Sink of a hunt in Transylvania county last week-end. Judge Sink, Sheriff T. E. Pat ton and Dr. ,Greenwood, of Ashe ville, made up the hunting party, which began on Saturday and lasted until Sunday. Judge Sink has been holding court in Hender son county, but came over to try his hand with bear and deer in Transylvania. Although none of the hunters returned with game, all reported good trip, and Judge Sink was am rtjjiire 'nuay ck, at wkins Mrs. )anist, tenor, dll be lia by county schools was wrestling with the problems of finance and trans portation this week. In the mat ter of finance, the schools have $2,692 for student transportation this year, under the state allot ment of funds. This is about one- fourth of the amount that was spent last year, which was, spe cifically, $9',850. The school board had asked for $8,540 for this year, but the appropriation made at Raleigh fell far short of this. As a result, Mr. Jones has asked ^ good trip and for a conference with J. E. Co- 1 especially pleased, burn, of Bryson City, Western Carolina district representative on the state board of equalization. Mr. Coburn has signified his in tention of being in Brevard over the week-end for. a conference on transportation, Mr. Jones stated yesterday, and he has hopes that a solution of this problem will re sult. Checks for bus drivers, jan itors, and for bus repairs have been received in the past few days and distributed, Mr. Jones also stated. The checks did not the full amount that it had been ’ expected to pay for these purposes at the time. Mr.' Jones .said in this connection that he hoped to issue additional checks an early date from his office. More immediately affecting the matter of bus transportation from the southwest section of the county'was the closing of the road to Caesar’s Head, late Tuesday afternoon, when the last school bus came out from its trip of taking the students in attendance on Brevard hip;h school back to their homes. The closing of Caesar’s Head approach from just south of the city limits to the state line is in line with the state highway com mission project to surface-treat that mad. It will be reopened to the public in about two weeks, pn this artery of transportation mto the Brevard high school are 30_ school _ children. Mr. Jones said in this connection that the -chool bus will run daily over the Jsland Ford road detour, whic.h j'uns out a distance of four and a half miles to Powell’s store, and mat as many students as met the bus there, or were picked up on he way. would be given trans- nortation to and from school while work on the road FINAL TRIBUTE IS PAID EDISON Simple Services Held at 2:30 P.

J., Oct. 21. —A nation will e plunged into darkness tonight as a final tribute to Thomas Alva Edison who will be buried today near tlv scenes of his achievements after the smiplest of ceremonies. The body of the inventor was carried early today from the li brary of his workshop, where it was viewed by thousands, back up the hill to the Llewllyn park home of the Edisons for the funeral.

Additional applications for vaccination have been made, however, and the.se persons will receive their first noculations this week. As a suit there will be four weeks of the clinic, the first group school children and adults receiv ing their final innoculations one week hence. A total of 485 pupils and their parents were innoculated against typhoid at Rosman, last Friday afternoon. The preceding day, at Pisgah Forest, 268 were vaccinat ed.

Jones, county school su perintendent stated yesterday that the Avater supply at Rosman has been protected by work done by Tx. C Case of Lake Toxaway. In future it will be impossible for any surface water to seep thru and contaminate the water source. Virgil McCrary was expected to complete sinking a well at Pi.s- gah Forest some time Wednes day. Several wells have already been sunk in this section, and, Avithout exception a very fine quality of water has been found beneath a layer of blue rock. It was anticipated that it Avould be necessary to dig to a depth of 60 to 75 feet, and then penetrate the rock layer, if the well proves to be of the same nature as the others which have been made Although J.

C., Oct. 21.- • t h of the five southern states that broke the bounds of Democracy and Avent Republican in the na tional campaign of 1928, is “open teri^tory” today for any and all candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1932. The elections of 1930 proved conclusively that the majority of Democrats who preferred Herbert Hoover to Al Smith in ’28 have returned to the party’s fold. Josiah William Bailey, now the state’s junior senator, rolled up a majority of 113,000 votes over his Republican opponent in the general election in November last year. While several other states ap pear to be aligning themselves for one candidate or another— Georgia for Governor Roosevelt of New York, as an example— North Carolina has shown no vis ible preference for Roosevelt, Newton D.

Replying to the request of Ar istide Briand and Lord Reading for a definite date for AvithdraAval of troops, the Japanese represen tative, Kenkicki Yoshizawa, ex plained the terms of Japan’s de mand for security as involving: (1) Measures to end excited public opinion in both countries. (2) Chinese pledges to cease molesting Japanese troops. (3) Chinese respect for treaty rights of Japan. Meanwhile, there were disquiet ing reports from the Far East in dicating the almost complete oc cupation of Manchuria and strik ing a sharp contrast to the opti mistic feeling induced by Briand’s recent direct negotiations with Hoshizawa and Dr. Alfred Sze, the Chinese representative.

F. Corbin, who ac companied him to the scene of the national show, returned home last Thursday. When seen by a news writer of The Transylvania Times at the school this week, both were enthusiastic over the trip and reported a great time had been enjoyed by them. In the na tion-wide judging contest, Wal lace and two other boys from North Carolina, Wilbur Birch of Bath, and Carl Barber of Inman, placed fifth in the judging of Guernsey cows. As such they were presented at the closing banquet of the three day program, when other successful contestants were also called to be viewed by the banquetters at the national ai. Russell.

That day, said Prof, Corbin, the Purina Feed company chartered nine busses, and ried all the boys in the judging contest to the plant. In a large barn snecial church services were held.
