TROWBRIDGE..Associate SUBSCRIPTION RATES Per Year . ?L00 Six Months .60 (In Transylvania County) Per Year, Elsewhere . $1.60 Six Months .76 WELCOME TO MR. TROWBRIDGE The Times joins with hundreds of friends of Professor C. H. Trow bridge in extending him the glad hand, and believes that he will be a decided asset to Brevard College. Real hard work in large doses was taken by Mr. Trowbridge when he was head of Brevard Institute, gift of which from ladies of the Metho dist church to the education board was a big factor in location of the junior college here. People liked the way of Mr. Trowbridge because he was a splendid fellow, and further, because he put his all into making the school here which he so ably headed for a long period, outstand ing in many respects. Proof that his efforts were appreciated by the church is contained in the fact that when he left Brevard Institute he was made president of another and larger Methodist institution. We’re glad to know that Mr. Trow bridge will again be with us, and at the same time make our best bow tc the fine faculty body that has been selected to help make Brevard Col lege the best institution of its kind in the country. WHAT DO W’E GET .... WHEN DO WE GET IT! Over at Waynesville the TVA i; unloading a great big fine canntrj that will give employment to a num her of local people and will furnisl an at-home market for products of1 the Haywood county farm?. Then, over at Hendersonville th< Farmers Federation cannery is be ing doubled in size and capacity also a part of the TVA program thus those folk just down the roac a ways, and those just across th< mountain are getting something . . but "We ain’t got nuthin yit.” Next letter you write to any per son outside of the county, mentior the fact that the golf course is ir excellent condition, and that oui swimming pool will be open withir a couple of weeks. These are just twe of the many things Brevard has tc offer the vacationist . . . and it pays to advertise. Mean liquor and quick tempers will again show their colors arounc the county next Saturday unless we miss our guess. Wish it were possi ble for our folk to hold at least- one election without having to scrap. "Believes In Hell” says a news paper headline .... right again mister, we’ve seen it around here or several occasions. How about sending in that re newal? The butcher, the grocer, and candlestick maker all get their: within thirty days . . . we’d like th« same courtesy. Thanks. COST OF PEACE (Greenville Piedmont) It is doubtful ii there is any other country where the anti-kvar senti ment is quite as wide and as deep as it is in the United States. Yet the United States government has just announced that it will start construction of 20 new warships within four months, with 75 more to be built immediately thereafter; and there is little question that this ac tion has the endorsement of the majority of the citizens. Why should there be this contra diction—if it is a contradiction? For one thing, the American peo ple trust ‘their goWrnment not to use the fleet as an instrument of ag gression. For another, the international horizon is by no means clear, and if a navy is to be supported at all it might just as well be kept up to the mark. It is possible to desire peace very earnestly and still keep ready for any emergency; and that, apparently, is what present-day Americans plsn to do. “England May Pay” says a news paper headline . . . rather indefinite, but at that it sounds better than the story France ha3 been telling. Keep your shirt on . , . there’ll be another election, maybe lota more . . • before the world cornea to an end, so it’s no need to get over-excited about this orfc i rTTTTT'rn i * » • « ’ - | GLANCING I | BACK AT I I BREVARD | I Taken from the flies of The * ♦ Sylvan Valley News, beginning f T 1895, through the courtesy of X! | Mrs. W. B. F. Wright. |; (From the file of March 11, 1898) j Fuller and Zachary are giving the depot grounds a business like appear ance. The hickory spokes which they are racking up preparatory to ship-, ment are a standing advertisement i thiat this is a country of fine timber, I especially hickory. An infant born to Mr. and Mrs.' D. B. Hancock, born Sunday night, died Tuesday and was buried in the( Brevard cemetery Wednesday. This ' is a sad bereavement as they have I but one living child, while death has, I claimed five of their offspring during' : infancy. I - | Another business change in Bre-, !vard mercantile houses is noted this 'week. Dr. G. W. Young and Sons I have sold their stock of goods to ! A. L. Hardin of Cedar Mountain, the trade having been made through Sheriff McGaha. Whether this will 1 reduce the number of business houses in Brevard or not is not yet decided. | The stock may be put on the market here, or it may be removed to Cedar 1 Mountain, but which will be done is not known at present. The present owner is busy taking stock and until this is completed no definite arrange ments will be made known. The meal market of W. L. Aiken will be found at the store of J. E. Clayton until the new building is ready for it. i A vote in the lower house of con gress on Monday to place $60,000,000 in the hands of the president for the national defense resulted in 311 for and 0 against the measure. There is only one party when the national honor is threatened. I __ | It is painful to record the death of so many of our old people. During the past week two more of our aged and respected pecple have passed away to join their loved ones. Mrs. Polly Orr, widow of William Orr, died February 27 and was buried Match 1 at the Orr cemetery. Also Mrs. Sarah Hamiltoon, widow of Col. Joseph Hamilton, died on March 2 and was i buried at Holly Springs Cemetery March 4. The outlook in this section is brightening. Industry seems to have sought this beautiful valley for hei home. Enterprise has apparently dis covered that in the upper French Broad valley there is a chance for her. Since our last publication a dea. has been made between J. M. Thrash and a Mr. Everett, of Cleveland, Ohio, bv which the well known Eowndes place goes into possession cf the latter gentleman at the purchase price oof $25,000. A forfeit has been deposited and Mr. Everett is to re turn and sign the necessary papers within ten days. He will improve and beautify the property and will pro* ablv spend a larger sum tnan the first cost in making his home pre sentable. Mr. Everett is a prominent man even in Cleveland If we are cor rectly informed he is the law pai tner of Mark Hanna and is a railroad of ficial of prominence, and immensely wealthy. He married the daughter of Senator F.en Wade. His purchase of this beautiful French Broad farm means a great deal for the future of Transylvania. i Miss Della King, who has been down with the grippe for two weeKS, is improving slowly. Surely Tuesday, March 8, 1898, was an unlucky day on the Thrash 1 farm. On Tuesday evening the barn and cribs on the farm of J. M. Thrasn were burned with all their contents. Inquiry reveals that the first wa the vesult of accident. It was discov ered shortly after 8 o'clock and in less than an hour the buildings and 1 contents were a mass of smouldering ruins. All the corn on the farm was in these cribs and Y/ednesday morn ing Mr. Thrash hadn’t a bushel to feed his stock. Whether or not there was any insurance we are not inform ed. Although Mr. Thrash is among the most properous farmers of the , French Broad valley the loss is none the less serious. It will put him to ifreat inconvenient to replace the feed for his animals which was con sumed in an hour. A painful accident which somehow seems connected m the mind with the fire happened at nearly the same time. Miss Rosa .Thrash had her arm broken on Tues day afternoon by the kick of a vicious horse, and it was while the physician was setting the broken bones that the I fire at the barn, was discovered. I -■ I .Spritiy Hots Used To Bail Boat i Chicago—Those big floppy hats, currently a la mode, were put to a practical use early Monday when i three debutantes and their escorts, bailed out a sinking motorboat long ' enough to save their lives with the hats. j ! The girls and the young men left' the charity ball at the Century of | i Progress just in time to get into a j 30-foot cabin cruiser and shoot up the lake to the north shore for break-, , fast but as thev swung out of the lagoon at the fair the boat sprang a, , leak and the six turned for the shore.1 Off came the hats and the sextet 'took turns at bailing frantically. The leak grew worse but the big hats. threw out enough water to make it1 possible to beach the boat. j Watch for Plummer’s Clear ance Sale neat week- Bargains. SELICA !
