R. Francis from the Tvan-j sylvania coiinty school board which j was ir. session hero Monday, asking l t iut Transylvania courfty's rep re- j tentative in the General Assembly oppose the proposed measure to con solidate Transylvania with any eth er county unit, doing away with the local county superintendent. Trio bill as proposed by Senator Ingram, now before the asscmolj would make of the state forty school districts, combining several of the counties as one school unit. In the bill, Transylvania, Folk and Henderson would be one unit, gov erned by a board of three members from each county, with one super intendent, elected by these beards and approved by the state board, Senator Ingram sets out in his ar gument that it would be a large sav ing as a state wide measure. The board in its letters to Senator Galloway, expressed the opinion that this county has its own problems in the educational field, and that a county superintendent who is in the county at all times, and who makes his home here is best suited for needs of the schools. The board also asked that Messrs Francis and Galloway oppose the =ix-da'' week school proposition, 10 1 that this would be injurious to the health of a large part of the pupils. Opposition to any further' re-J duction in teachers salary was also, voiced in the letter, and recommen dation was made that the gentlemen [ support a general sales tax to Pro vide funds for state operation of the! eight months school term. | Members present at the meeting; were Chairman J.

Glazener > The meeting at the Little Rivet r school house last Friday night was; attended by more than fifty tar-, mers. Some of these farmers w-ere. from the Cherryfieid and Sehcaj actions in the upper part of tne county. Some were men who tried J tobacco three years ago and had, dropped out and are now deciding i to try it again. , Martin Shipman's records showed that after all expenses, including rent of land, fertilizer, horse labor, seed and marketing had been deduct ed he had left S63.00 for 22 days I labor. Records from others shewed a return per acre of from ?lo0.00: to ?200.00. Several at the meeting had grown some tobacco since the program was launched in the coun :v three vears ago. It was interest ing to note that every one :s plan ning to grow some again this ^a'.' which is sufficient prool that they consider tobacco growing as a cash ron worth while. t should liki to see 100 acres grown in this county this year. It can easily be done if the farmers will begin now to prepare for it. The 100 acres should be divided up( -o that no farmer would have more | than one acre. What we need I is | more farmers with some extra cash , income. I have observed very care-, fully for the past three years and; those farmers growing nom on fourth to one-half acre each year in, addition to their regular farm pTOjl gram are the ones m?^ . , I in continuing the growing of tobac-J co here.

C. My Dear Sir: I Please allow me space in The Times to say to the several hundred citi- ; zen* and taxpayers nf the county who so urgently requested that I re peal the hunting and fishing law for Transylvania county that my chanccs , to serve them have been materially ( lessened by a number of our citizens; in Brevard attempting to delegate the legislative affairs of the county to citizens of Buncombe county with out so much as mentioning that fact to me. If you fclks desire the passage of the bill which I introduced in con nection with this matter enacted in to law, then get busy and send me your petitions saying so. If you de- 1 sire that this "bakers dozen,'' many of whom don't own any lands on which to hunt, nor waters in which to fish, to look after your business down here, then just send them down. I shall be glad to turn the job over to them if it is your wish. Too, it would save the cost of sending such longj telegrams, as it also would the un- ! certainty of their efforts to place I your local affairs in the hands of the 1 citizens of Buncombe county for at- i tention. Respectfully, M. W. GALLOWAY. Raleigh, Feb. 7,J93). ' WAY BILL 13 I TER OF FIGHT!

Chief objection to the proposed < legislation, copy of which was car-j ricd in last week's Transylvania; Times, was the paragraph included] in the bill which would permit trap-j ping and s filing in the French Broad j river. j Following is copy of the bill which j is being opposed by many citizens ofi the county: SECTION 1. That from and after j the ratification of this act, any; citizen of Transylvania County t may hunt or fish upon the premise?

WOLF KILLED NEAR BREVARD HI SCHOOL Had B?en Caur.irg Much Ex- j citement Among People ] of Thu Community "It. was a wolf." declared the huge throng of people who have seer, the animal which has caused consider able excitement here in the past several weeks, and which ended its career near Brevard high school Saturday afternoon when Tell Brown shot it with a 'nigh powered rifle. The animal was reported to be in the city limits Saturday afternoon, and immediately a crowd of men ardj boys were on its trail, crowding it, through the residential section of Maple street, into the extensive high i school grounds, where Mr. Brown J was able to take a pot shot without j danger of personal injury to resi-j dents. I First discovered in the French ! Broad river valley east of Brevard : three weeks ago, a small army of men and boys from the community hunted several days without making a kill, although several shots were taken at distances from ten yards to one hundred. Older residents of thej community hooted the idea that a wolf had been seen, and the matter, was dropped for a few days. I Again last week, residents of Brevard proper, some of whom have had experience in hunting and trap ping wolves in western states, re ported seeing the animal near the city limits, and interest was again I revived. Seen near the home of Tell Brown on Maple street Saturday afternoon, a your.g army soon form ed and the animal was dead within the hour. MUCH CONCERN IN !

G.. was missing from j her home. According to information received here, Miss Brown left home Satur day a short while after noon, osten sibly for the home of a neighbor or to go into the town, and was not lo ! cated until Tuesday of this week. | Miss Brown is thought to be a vie- j |tim of amnesia, as information oh-| I tainod from people with whom :hf- ? had come in contact from the time [she left home until located in Jack sonville. Fla., was to the effect that i "ho was acting strangely. ; Miss Brown carried no luggage iwith her, but was warmly and r.ice ! Iy dressed.

SIX WEEKSWfllSEE I END OF SESSIONS IN j STATE LEGISLATURE! | Sftles Tax Is Seen As Certainty j As Chief Source of Cash Revenue RALEIGH, Feb. 8.? Six wort j weeks, will it is believed by observe] sj here, see the end of the 1933 Genev r.l assembly, witti Its work complete^ While it is true that, the major tasks i of the body, that of writing the reve- ' nue and appropriations acts, are still i in committee, there is every evidence?! of quick action seen. The big bills are heading into shape fast and once they get on the | floor, it is believed, as it looks now, ! there will be little tendency to fili buster or to argue against the will of reorganized majority. It is the almost, universally accepted maxim of 1933j legislators, seen when they first ar-i rived on capitol hill, that the job must be done quickly to relieve any tension arising from uncertainty among the people of North Carolina. The senate spent this week almost j entirely in working on: reorgani/a J tion of the government and handled changes with comparatively short ar-j gumc-nt. It. is true that it reconsider-) ed on its refusal to abolish the cor-j poration commission and will prop- 1 ably next week handle a better bill t affecting this department quickly., Merging of highways ar.d prison de partments with the abolition of both of these departments now existing is presently in the hands of the re-or ganization committee which worked late last night, on the form of the bill j that will finally be brought to the j senate floor.
