COLTRAXE AXD WEST
SHOULD HAVE CREDIT
Two things the (ward of trustees
did at their meeting at Brevard Col
lege on Tuesday that we think should
have more than formal notice—
praise ef President fc.. J. Coltrane
for his fine work in putting the col
lege on its present outstanding basis,
and the Rev. J. H. West for the part
he played in renovation of the old
dormitory.
The president, a prime of a fel
h w, with no money, no faculty, no
equipment, started out early this
spring to make a real institution of
Brevard College, and proof of the
type of service he rendered to the
institution and this community can
be seen in the large enrollment and
the manner in which the college is
going about its business in such a
short time.
Preacher West, a fine fellow to
start off with, and u good preacher
at all times, doubled up on his pas
toral duties, voluntarily adding the
task of "keeping things < n the go’
in the matter of repairing the old
dormitory. He wa< not altogether
alone in this work. Seveial other peo
ple worked untiringly with the
preacher in this work, and many
it nated time, money or materials,
but the bulk of the organization work
was done by Preacher West, fitting
■:,.!ee l th^t the fine building should
1„. named the Joseph 11. West Hall.
SESD TIIE CIUI.DRES
Til SCHOOL REGULARLY
Honor rolls and attendance records
for the various schools of the county,
published from time to time in The
Transylvania Times, reveal that a
school child who attends regularly
has a ve.> good chance of being on
the honor roll in grades. These
r. voids also show that any child who
i- . n the honor roll scholastically is
almost certain to be a regular at
to <lnnt ill classes.
According to the old saying, “an
idle mind is the devil’s workshop,”
the school child, busy in his or her
studies and with a multitude of
clean, wholesome interests in and out
of school, is less likely to become a
wrong-doer than the child not in
classes. And since it costs the state
of North Carolina seven times more
to keep an inmate in a juvenile re
formatory than it does a child in
school_
Send the children to school....
regularly.
COLLEGE MAKES EYES
Ti ns' TOWARD BREVARD
Aside from the many other good
things that Brevard College can and
will do for Brevard and Transyl
vania, that of making the outside
world “Brevard minded” is one of
the major items.
In The Charlotte Observer, most
widely read newspaper in the two
Carolinas, cf September 22, the fol
lowing editorial appeared:
THE BREVARD COLLEGE
The newly-organized Brevard Col
lege was opened this week with an
incoming group of 370 ?tuilents and
the whole town was celebrating the
event. The nature of the welcome is
indicated in the fact that the mer
chants of the town took four or five
pages in The Transylvania Times in
which to make the new-comers feel
that 'hey are “at home” in Brevard.
As a matter of course, more students
are coming in, but on the opening
(lay ten states were represented. This
being a Methodist institution that
denomination leads in number of
students, but the enrollment includes
students from the various organiza
tions of Baptist, Presbyterians, Luth
erans, Episcopals, Friends, Evangeli
cal Reform, Christian, Associate Re
formed and Catholic. The initial suc
cess of this institution indicates that
when Brevard was decided upon as
location for it, a wise choice was
made. Incidentally, the successful \
opening of this college is typical of,
the opening of all other North;
Carolina colleges and schools this:
fall, and indicates that education in :
this state is on the upgrade.
By the way. wonder if anybody’d
mind if we suggested "That a few |
people would renew their subscrip
tions? Over a hundred paid last
month, but we have to average
around 150 if we stay right up to
par.
Fine crowds at the two football
games last week... .orderly, too.... :
and best of all, paid admissions—
something new for Brevard.
WANTS BOOTLEGGERS'
NAMES PUBLISHED
Suggestion was made at the meet-,
nig of the board of aldermen Mon
day night that it would be a good,
piece of work for The Times to pub
lish the names of as many bootleg
gers as could be ascertained. Sounds
easy, and maybe it would tftd be such
a bad idea after all:
Nosing around os the staff of this
newspaper does, it might not be
such a hard task—fact is, the idea
clicks pretty well, and would possibly
be a help in several ways.
People who persist in getting a
‘‘bat wing” every so often, could, .f
the list of bootleggers were to be pub
li-hed each week, know just who to
see about their toddy, ana thereby
save considerable time in their quest
for a throat quencher. Then too, when
some of these 1C year olds go home all
lit to the gills, parents would know
just about where to start looking for
the guy who is low enough down to
sell whiskey to youngsters. Then, too,
when a stranger happened in town
and wanted to partake of a little
mountain dew, he could pick up the
home paper, turn to his telephone and
rder up a drink.
Might not be such a bad idea after
all.
Forgot to say anything about the !
one-way street via the post oftice
last week and we saw one car going
that way Friday.
I.o,>ks like we’ll have a pretty good j
size criminal docket piled up for
Judge Warlick when he tomes here
in December. Shooting,cutting, fight
ing—with three shooting scrapes
already in the offing.
Take a day off Friday or Saturday
and visit the county fair at Rosman
.better still, take the best off the
place and enter as an exhibit.
I.adn- of Brevard stand a good
chance to win a cash prize for the
excellent .iob of beautifying the court
house lawn. Whether or no they get
the cash, the whole county can
justly he proud of the nice place we
have in the center of town.
It' there is any county in the 'tato
that Fire Prevention week should
strike a responsive chord it is Tran
sylvania. Our forests mean far more
to us than the average county, not
< nly as a fast depleting money crop,
hut as an added beauty to our moun
tain sides and valleys.

AT THE
CLEMSON THEATRE j
- •
Will Rogers is back again Thurs-!
ilav and Friday of this week at the
Clemson Theatre. In the picture.
“Judge Priest,” Rogers presides in a
Kentucky court room. Stepin Fetchit,
negro star who has played the stooge
in many pictures, comes before Judge
Priest on charges of chicken steal
ing. In some manner the charge,
against Stepin Fetchit tuns into
c ross -ex ahn i nati o n on what he con
siders best fish bait. Rogers is led
into matchmaking and is disqualified
as judge in a trial of the father of
his nephew’s sweetheart and turns j
up in the role of attorney for the ;
defense. The picture ends in a parade
with Rogers, a preacher, and the de
fendant in the trial leading the line
of march.
* Saturday of this week Lane i.nan
: tiler comes to Brevard with his “Law-1
i less Valley,” a picture that is a
; whirlwind of action which includes
1 superb horsemanship, gun fanning
land fist fighting. Chandler, unlike
'many ef the “western” stars of the
‘screen, is a westerner born and is a
i graduate of Montana Wesleyan uni
versity as wel las being a ranch
! country native. An all-star support
ing cast makes “Lawless Valley” one j
of the best westerns that has ever,
come to this theatre. j
Monday and Tuesday, October 8th,
and 9th “The Count of Monte Cristo .
has the spot. A cast including Elissa
Landi, Sidney Blacknicr and 0. P
ITegeie, among other recognized stars ,
combine with a story of excellent
quality and authentic background to
make this picture one that should
more than please the average theatre-,
goer. The photography is said to be
excellent and the direction worthy of
praise. , „ , , _
Wednesday and Thursday, October

S. T. Everett, of Cleveland, Ohio,
arrived at his recently purchased
summer home, the Lowndes place,'
last week, and the remainder of his

The story is told of a Washington
inan of family pride who met with n
! surprise when caught in his own
! tree. This man lately became pos
sessed of the idea of constructing a
family tree, feeling assured he could
produce a growth that would dwan
the giants of the California forests
into insignificance, lie began on one
branch of his family, and soon struck
i Miles Standish, from whom he ran
various shoots and offshoots, with
1 many a feeling of pride. With renew
i ed interest he went to work on
■another branch of his growing tic .
and had gone back hut four gener
ations when he was ania&ed to sti ike
i a great-grandfather who had died
from strangulation brought on by a
lope encircling his throat, his death
occurring in the presence of a large
i gathering of curious people, who hau
taken a dav off during harvest time
in order to see the hanging. By 'his
time the man of family pride had
become intensely disgusted with gene
alogical investigations, but all that
his friends knew of his disappoint
ment was the fact that h'e remained
away from the busy haunts of his
fellows for several weeks, and the
family physician gave out the infor
mation that he was the victim of a
severe case of nervous prostration.

tary. The installation will take place
on St. John’s Day, and all memb r
who can do so are earnestly urged to

The report that McKinley will visit
this section very shortly is hardly to
be credited. As commander-iri-chief
of the army and navy his absence i
from headquarters during the pres-j
ent trouble with Spain would hardly ,
be tolerated by the American people. |

Van Whitmire is certainly making j
a good record as marshal. He Itas i
introduced the element of cleanliness, |
and the back yards in rear of our
business houses arc being renovated,
and unsightly piles of rubbish carted
away. The improvement is both
noticeable and creditable to the town
authorities.
Mi.?. Margaret Collins, wife of
J. A. Collins, died very unexpected
ly at their home in the Cathey’s
Creek section Monday evening, of
heart failure. Mrs. Collins was the
daughter of Alexander Hollings
worth, of Turkey Creek, and has a
large kinship among the Allisons and
other prominent families of the
county. She was married to Mr. Col
lines near the close of the late war,
and eight children, a:, of whom are
living, have come to bless the union.
The burial occurred at Davidson
River cemetery on Wednesday, the
services being conducted by Rev.
L. A. Falls.
