BREVARD COLLEGE IN
FINE SHAPE FOR TILT
WITH APPALACHIANS
Football Game Here Saturday
Promises To Be Hard
Fought Mixup
With twt) fcackfieldl combinations
that have great promise and an extra
bevy of linesmen that are showing
up good, Coach Ralph James promises
to give Brevard football fans a fivst
class showing here Saturday a-tor
noon when the college eleven meets
the freshman squad from the Appa
lachian State Teachers College.
Backfield that will prcbably start
in Saturday afternoon’s game which
begins at three o’clock, will be w.
Clayton and Shuford at half, Griffin
at fullback, and Prentice at quarter
Gaston and Garren, former Christ
school men, will probably start at
ends on Saturday with E. Clayton
and Pruett ready to take their places
on short notice.
Brooks or Pickeisimer win iumw
the start at center, with Albert Kil
patrick and Proffitt holding down
the tackle positions when the first
whistle blows. Gray, Campbell and
Smoak will probably see action at
guard with Harold Kilpatrick, a new
addition to the team from Brevard,
showing up nicely at this position.
A new backfield combination that
is showing up nicely is composed of
Echard, light ball of fire at quarter,
Wisenhunt. English and Lowe.
Altogether, the Brevard Colhge is
taking on a more formidable appear
ance, with new plays being perfected
and old ones pat. Light, the squad is
making up in teamwork.
Tickets for Saturday’s game are
now on sale, with prospects of a
record gate Saturday.
Last Saturday’s game with Lees
McRae was postponed on account of
the wet field, this game to be played
on November 24, here.

PRAISES TEACHERS
FOR WORK AT FAIR
Praise for the Transylvania county
fair in general as an institution for
betterment and education in the
countv, and for the vocational -agn
cultural classes in particular is
aptly set forth in a letter to The
Times from Jos. S. Silversteen, as
follows:
Mr. C. M. Douglas,
Transylvania Times,
Brevard, N. C.
Mv dear Douglas:
After visiting the Transylvania
County Fair at Rosman yesterday, I
feel it my duty to say a word of
praise for those who had the mak
ing of the fair what it was.
The writer has seen a great many
fairs both North and South and feel
that I can state without exaggeration
that for quality it was the best fair
we have seen, and for size it was
very creditable in every department.
Each and every department de
serves praise, but want' to especially
mention the separate exhibit of the
farm boys of Transylvania county,
to us, and to a great many people
whom we heard express themselves,
it was a wonderful revelation of the
future of the young men, and par
ticularly for the rehabilitation of
cur county and credit must be given
to Messrs. Glazener and Lyday for
the good work they did in instructing
and encouraging the boys. They
deserve encouragement and help
from every one in the county for the
good work they are doing.
May the success of the Fair con
tinue!
Very truly yours,
JOS. S. SILVERSTEEN.

Fair Shows Decided Improvements
In Transylvania Livestock, Crops
With attendance cut short by
reason of the rain which fell both
Friday and Saturday, the Transyl
vania County Fair at Rosman was
regarded by those who attended as
one of the best from point of exhibits
to be staged in this county.
Decided improvements were noted
in the farm crop and vegetable ex
hibits; the same being true of the
livestock shown, with pure bred cat
tle and hogs in evidence; vast im
provement in the pantry and dairy
supplies department and the voca
tional education exhibits.
Buildings used for the fair were
donated by J. W. Glazener and 0. L.
Erwin, while livestock was shown
in pens constructed on the outside.
A football game Friday afternoon
between Brevard high school and
Pickens high school and an athletic
program Saturday afternoon fur
nished side attractions to the fair.
Officials of the fair were well
pleased with the eooperation of com
mittees of various departments and
with a number of individuals who
donated their time and in some cases,
material for use of the fair.
J. Wade Dickson is president of
the fair association; N. L. Ponder,
i vice chairman; Mrs. M. C. Shipman,
secretary, and J. B. Jones, treasurer.
Vocational agriculture and home
economics teachers of the two schools
were ex-officio members of the offi
cial body and were very active in the
work.
Professor G. D. White of Mills
River high school, and Mrs. Albert
Corpening, also of Mills River,
judged the exhibits. Prize winners
will be announced in next week’s
Times, some departments failing to
turn their list of winners in to Mrs
M C. Shipman, secretary.
Pisgafe National Forest W ili Again j
Be Opened For Hunting This Winter
Transylvania county is again to
become a sportsmen’s center for
three weeks in December when four
hundred deer will be taken from the
Pisgah National Forest by hunters
from all sections of the country.
The preserve will be opened to 400
selected hunters Monday, December
3 and hunting will continue through
Saturday, December 22. The hunters
wil lbe selected in a drawing to be
conducted by the Chamber of Com
merce, Asheville.
Two years ago the Pisgah Forest
area in this county was thrown open
j to sportsmen and brought many peo
, pie here.
This hunt, officials announced, is
j for the purpose of removing the sur
| plus deer from the preserve. The
area to be hunted is located in the
portion of the preserve where the
deer population exceeds the food sup
ply. If the deer population is not re
duced, it was explained, the surplus
will die of starvation and a lack of
sufficient food will weaken the physi
cal condition of the survivors to an
extent where they will be susceptible
to epidemics and disease.
Large Area Opened '
The area to be opened to the pub
| lie shooting contains approximately
10,000 acres located on the water
shed of lower Looking Glass creek,
Avery creek and lower Davidson
river, all in Transylvania county.
This area is well within the preserve
but it is readily accessible to
hunters.
It is anticipated by forestry offi
cials that applications to hunt will
be far in excess of the number to be
permitted, since the hunt will be open
to citizens of all states. The drawing
by the Chamber of Commerce wili
be conducted in a fair and impartial
manner.
Applications are available at the
office of Sam R. Broadbent, forest
supervisor in the ffderal building in
Asheville, and at Forest Ranger
Duncan’s office in Pisgah Forest.
Applications must be submitted to
the forest supervisor’s office before
November 1.
Drawing S'ovctnber Second
The public drawing will be held
November 2. In addition to the 400
applicants, 200 alternates will be
drawn. Tne 400 will be notified im
mediately and will be given until
November 17 to accept the dates as
signed them and to pay the fee of
five dollars, to be placed in a cooper
ative fund to cover the cost ot con
ducting the hunt. On November 19 a
sufficient number of alternates will
be notified and these must make
payment on or before December 1.
Hunters will be privileged to hunt
for a total of three days, unless a
kill is made, in which event the
hunter will withdraw from the hunt
ing area, taking his deer with him.
One deer of either sex and any age
may be killed and removed from the
area by each hunter. All other game
animals and birds will be under pro
tection and the hunting or killing
of them will be prohibited.
Only rifles of nun-automatic type
of not less than 25-20 calibre and
non-automatic shotguns not less
than 16 gauge, shooting single ball
or pumpkin cartridges will 'bte al
lowed. Use of buck shot will be pro
hibited. All ammunition used in
hunting must be of soft nosed type.
Carrying of side arms by hunters
will be prohibited.
No License Required
No license is required from the
state or county for hunting or kill
ing a deer in the preserve during the
period. All citizens of the United
States, 21 years of age or more, may
apply for the privilege. Applications
will not be accepted from Tegular:
employes of the United States Forest j
service, the forest supervisory per-1
sonnel or CCC enrollees.
Campers will be permitted to oc
cupy the White Pine camp ground
maintained by ihe forest service near
the checking station on Davidson
river.
Under the regulation of the Secre
tary of Agriculture, no dogs will be
allowed on the preserve.
The Pisgah preserve has been
under federal administration for the
past 20 years. Prior to its establish
ment, it was a private game preserve
of the late George W. Vanderbilt.
Intensive protection by the enforce-'
ment of federal game laws has re
sulted in an overstocked area.
OUTSTANDING AT THE COUNTY FAIR |!
Numerous things of interest were
noted by a Times representative at
the county fair last week, and proper
mention could have been made of
these had it not been for a queer
notion of a fine brood mare belonging
to Van Waldrop.
Standing notebook in hand before
the pen occupied by the Waldrop
mare and as line horse colt as has
been seen in this county in many a
day, the writer was chagrined and
dumbfounded to see the mare reach
out in the style that only billy-goats
are supposed to use, and eat the up
turned leaves of a notebook being
used by The. Times representative.
However, another hurried trip was
made through the buildings and
some few things jotted down before
the officials yelled “all out except
those who have articles on display”—
About the happiest man was W. L.
Aiken, chairman of the county
board of commissioners, and in
charge of the county home and farm
for the board. Eight head of cattle
entered by Mr. Aiken and Mr. Whit
mire, caretaker of the county farm,
drew down five ribbons, three blue
and two red. Needless to say the
cattle were of the Hereford strain.
A five pound, three ounce Porto
P.ico potato stood out in the farm ex
hibits, this entry made by A. C.
Lyday.
“Simply darling," to many of the
ladies, and plenty good looking to
most of the men was the fine three |
months old sorrel colt exhibhed l y;
J. Frank McCall. Absolutely flaw-;
less, the colt was admired throughout
the two days. A six months old colt
belonging to Van Waldrop and
weighing 590 pounds also attracted
much attention.
A sunflower measuring 15 and j
one-quarter inches was displayed by (
Adolph Snipes, and looked as if it
had enough good feed on the one I
large head to feed a hen and her j
brood several days.
The Rev. J. F. Scott of Little River |
and his son Odell Scott, carried off ]
honors with their large egg plants,
one measuring nineteen one-hall
inches in circumference and the other
21 inches.
Something new was seen in the
upland rice displayed by Mr. Green
of the Little River section. The grain
had all the appearance of re$l rice
and is said to be very edible.
Cultivated huckleberries, entered
by A. E. Hampton of Brevard, were
swell for looks and prolific as to ber
ries, and incidentally said to be
“just the thing” for pies and pre
serves, but to eat off the stalk are
very poor indeed, as the writer found
out.
One exhibit that attracted many
“ahs” and “ohs” but which kept
most folk at a distance, were the two

E. R. A. WANTS BILLS
SENT IN PROMPTLY
W. A. Wilson, local relief officer,
makes the request that all store
keeprs call at the relief office and
present their tickets for payment. It
has been repeatedly called to the
attention of the store owners, Mr.
Wilson states, that all tickets must
be in the relief office for payment
by the 10th of each month. Since a
statement on each ticket is to the
effect that it must be presented for
payment within 30 days, Mr. Wilson
is making this request for all back
tickets to be presented at his office
for collection.

AUTO ACCIDENTS TOPIC
AT MEETING OF KIWANIS
“The .Great American Gamble,” or
the uncalled for number of deaths
resulting from careless drivers, was
interestingly discussed by Mrs. Mary
Jane McCrary at the Kiwanis club
meeting last Thursday.
Nearly thirty thousand people
were killed with the injured list
reaching close to one million during
1933, with practically two-thirds oi
all accidents due to careless or ignor
ant driving.
Booklets prepared by the Travelers
Insurance company, show type s |
of accidents and manner of avoiding
them that took such a heavy toll in
1933.

CULTIVATED GINSENG!
BEING GROWN NEAR
ROSMAN BY DUNCAN
High Market Value* For Crop
That I* Adaptable To
Traiuylvania Soil
One of the striking exhibits seen
at the county fair held at Bosnian
last Friday and Saturday was n
bunch of cultivated ginseng shown
by M. G. Duncan of Bosnian.
Mr. Duncan 3tates that ho has
been carefully guarding me cultiva
tion and reseeding cf his small plot
of ginseng for several years, until it
is about ready to be turned into a
money crop. Buying seed for planting
several years ago at one dollar each,
Mr. Duncan has carefully reseeded
each year until he now feels (bat he
can begin marketing his product.
Cultivated ginseng on til" market
last fall brought eight dollars and
fifty cents per pound, some*oat less
than wild ginseng, but much easier
to harvest. Asked what returns on
an acre of ginseng would amount to,
Mr. Dur.can said it was mtiiily too
much to estimate, but that it would
run into the thousandes of dollars.
Some trouble has been experienced
by Mr. Duncan in keeping thieves
from his ginseng, and he ha> now
decided that buckshot will be the best
remedy to keep those away \vh > want
to profit by other people’s toil. In
talking with Mr. Duncan last Sat
urday at the fair, the idea •va- -ug
gested that a strong fence would
probably suffice to keep rogue - out,
but he replied that would be- a very
great expense, and after due con
sideration by a group of several citi
zens of the county, he was advised
to use his shotgun as best remedy.
