TO CONTINUE THRU
BALANCE OF WEEK
Continued interest and attendance
..:e nnunlC't in the revival meetings
in progress at the Brevard Metho
dist church, conducted by the Rev.
L. B. Hayes, presiding elder of the
Waynesville district, and J. Dale
Stent/, song leader.
The two weeks’ series of meetings
will come to a close Easter Sunday.
Four services each day are being
held, at 10 o’clock in the morning at
the church, neighborhood prayer
meetings in the different homes at
3 o’clock in the afternoon, young
people’s service in the League room
at 7:80 o’clock and the regular
preaching hour at 8 o’clock each
evening. The Rev. Mr. Hayes con
tinues to deliver forceful and help
ful Gospel messages, which it is gen
erally felt are resulting in a renewal
of interest and consecration to God
on the part of the church members
and n greater desire for religious,
affairs on the part of the young
people and others. The efficient
work of Mr. Stentz with the young
people as well as his leadership in
the singing are outstanding in
flue-ices for good in the meetings.
The presence over the week-end of
Mr*. Stentz and their four children, j
a *■ a ted musical family, singing
qua>" ts, duets and solos, added j
mueii to the various services Friday
nig' * and Sunday.
Friday night’s service will be,

In Memoriam
PINKNEY SYLVESTA KING
The passing away on Saturday,
March 10, 1934, of Pinkney Sylvesta
King in his 84th year marked an
outstanding event in the history of,
Transylvania county, since he • i
many ways a prominent man in the.
community during the long and use
ful years of his life.
Mr. King, the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel King, was horn in Brevard
or April 8, 1850. He lived in Tran
sylvania county all of his life, witn

Until the time of his death Mr. King

assisted in the work of mapping out
th'< tewn nf Brevard. He served his
town and county in several minor
offices, serving well in whatever
official capacity ho was placed. He
was in the mercantile business in:
Brevard for 30 years, until failing i
health forced him to retire from

eldest deacon in the Brevard Baptist ]
I c hurch and the oldest member of that
church at the time of his death. From |
Lurlv life he always took an active

! final affliction confined him to his
heme.
Mr. King was of an unusually
bright and cheerful disposition, his
home being a spot which always
radiated sunshine and cheer. He al
ways greeted his friends with a
smile, and they were numbered by
the hundreds. It has been said of Mr.
King that if it were possible for a
man to live without an enemy he
lived that liie.
During his few years of residence
in South Carolina, Mr. King married
Miss Be lie Miller, of Pickens, S. C.

LIQUIDATING COST LESS THAN ONE PER
CENT OF MONEY COLLECTED BY BANKS
Liquidating costs of banks in
North Carolina are not more than
ore per cent of th? amounts collect
ed, according to Pat Kimzey, who
has just returned from Raleigh
where a meeting of state officials
and all bank liquidating agents and
assistants was held,.
Accompanying Mr. Kimzey on the
trip tc Raleigh were Mrs. A. B.
Owen of the Brevard bank; Mis*
Sara Moss of Hendersonville banks;
Erskine Duff and Miss Launa Clay
ton of the Rutherford county banks.
Principal purpose of the meeting
was to give all of the liquidating
force certain instructions which
would enable them to do better work
in the future for depositors of closed
banks. Meetings were held each day
for two days in the morning, af
ternoon and evening. The commis
sioner of banks laid special stress on
the fact that be desired all the liqui
dation of closed banks to be com
pleted as rapidly as possible, con
silient with the best interests of
the depositors and creditors. j
Special emphasis was also laid on |
the fact that almost all debtors to
closed banks can now refinance their
obligations either with the Federal
Land Bank of Columbia or the
Heme Owners’ Loan Corporation.
Representatives of both of these in
stitutions gave instructions and made
talks to the group. Reports on the
progress cf the liquidation of closed;
banks in North Carolina, were made.j
and in most instances these reports.
were very grnvny*n»>
banks having paid their depositors
in -full and returned something to
the "stockholders. Reports showed
that in the past three or four years
that $30,000,000.00 has been collect-1
ed by liquidating agents at a gross
cost 'of six and one-half per cent,
which costs includes all taxes, in
s u r a n c e, attorney fees, agents
salaries, etc., while the income from
closed banks, including collections on
interest and rent, amounted to more
than five per cent of the liquidating
costs, which left a net cost of liqui
dation of the banks at less than one
per cent of the amount collected.
One bright spot in connection with
the liquidation of the Brevard Bank
ing company was that for the past
three quarters the income from in
terest and rents had exceeded the
liquidating costs, including attorney
fees, insurance, taxes, etc.
On Friday afternoon Governor
Ehringhaus 'addressed the meeting
and in his address expressed his
appreciation to the commissioner o!
banks and his personnel 4 for con
scientious and efficient manner in

AGRICULTURE BOYS GET
PIG CLUB MEMBERSHIPS
Junior membership in the Na
tional Spotted Poland China Record
organization has been arranged for
all Transylvania county boys who
now own pueb/ed spotted Poland
China pigs, according to Professor
Julian Glazener, who sponsored a
movement here two years ago where
by business firms and individuals
brought a number of pure blood
hogs into the county.
Membership in the organization,
aside from putting the boys who are
under 21 years of age in touch with
other growers and possible markets
for their stock, also carries with it
the privilege of registering their
pure biooded pigs of the Spotted Po
land China type at half the regular
registration fees, thus effecting a
saving on each pig sold by the boys.
Around thirty boys in the county
are securing membership certifi
cates, Mr. Glazener said.

USE LIME FILLER !N
FERTILIZER, SAYS
NX STATE COLLEE
Acid-fcrming compounds now be
ing used in fertilizers should be coun
teracted with dolomitic limestone if
the productivity of the soil is to be
maintained, say agronomy specialists
at State College commenting on re
cent research information sent out
from the United States Department
of Agriculture.
Since acidic ammonium compounds
arc cheaper than the other forms of
basic nitrogen, they say, many of
the complete fertilizers now sold in
this country are distinctly acid form
ing.
In former years, the forms of ni
trogen used in fertilizers would give
a neutral or even a basic mixture.
Such fertilizers could be used with
out danger.
There are two methods of count
eracting acid. One is to apply lime
stone directly to the soil'. The other
is to mix a suitable liming material
with the fertilizer. Danger of over
liming is lessVhen the latter method
is used.
However, experiments have shown
that when enough ordinary lime
stone is added to the fertilizer to
neutralize it, there will be a loss of
ammonia and phosphoric acid. Dolo
mitic limestone has no such bad ef
fects.
Some- manufacturers of commercial
fertilizers have already adopted the
use of dolomitic limestone to offset
j the acid-producing ammonium com
pounds. \
LOCAL MAN MAY WIN
PRIZE FOR BIG FISH
Earl Twigg, during his recent visit
in Palm Beach, Fla., set a new high
record in the fishing contest staged
in that city, when he caught a 19
pound pompano after a 12-minute
battle with the big fish. Mr. Twigg
entered his catch in the Palm Beach
angling contest which closes March
30. Sportsmen in the Sunshine State
are of the opinion that Mr. Twigg’s
catch will win the trophy.
Mr. and Mrs. Twigg have recently
returned from a sojourn in Florida,
and are now stopping at the Pierce
Moore hotel for some time. Mr.
Twigg is a prominent manufacturer
of New York city. Mrs. Twigg is the
