GOLD ROM OCEAN i
WAT RATN.C.CSTY
WILMINGTON, N. C., Oct. 10—A
nugget the size of a pinhead halt
gold end half silver--the first of the
precious metals dissolved in the
ocean ever to be recovered i$ the
latest feat of American chemistry.
The extraction of this gold and
silver from Atlantic ocean water
near here was announced to the New
York section of the American chem
ical society here last night by Dr.
Willard H. Dow of the Ethyl Dow
Chemical company.
This company extracts bromine
from sea water near here. When its
plant opened just nine months ago it
was not even dreamed that gold and
silver also could be recovered from
the water. The fact that there was
gold in the sea was well known. But
the difficulties of extraction were
generally conceded by scientists to
be insurmountable.
But at the bromine plant it was
found that the sulphuric acid poured
into the sea water to help recover
bromine had changed the chemico
electrical nature of the gold and
silver. It was predicted then that
chemists might expect to extract the
ocean gold commercially.
Why
Liquid Laxatives
are Back in Favor
The public is fast returning to the use
of liquid laxatives. People have
learned that the right dose of a
properly prepared liquid laxative will
bring a more natural movement with
out any discomfort at the time, or
after.
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
varied to suit the needs of the in
dividual. The action can thus be
regulated. A child is easily given the
right dose. And mild liquid laxatives
do not irritate the kidneys. 9
Doctors are generally agreed that
senna is a natural laxative. It does
not drain the system like the cathar
tics that leave you so thirsty. Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a liquid
laxative which relies on senna for its
laxative action. It gently helps the
average person’s constipated bowels
until nature restores their regularity.
You can always get Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin at any drug store, ready
for use. *
SQUIRRELS SCARCE IN
COUNTY SAY HUNTSMEN
. ,_ '
Squirrels are very scarce this year,
according to reports coming to this
newspaper via the grapevine route.
However, this should cause no,
worry, as the hunting season in
Transylvania county does not open
until November 20th, and by that
time, older residents who know the
ways of the squirrel, say that the
animals will all be gone to the south ■
side of the mountains for wintering.

OUTSTANDING AT
THE COUNTY FAIR
(Continued front txisa un*)
beautifully marked animals shown,
in the poultry division by Earl tlil
lespie of the Cherryfield section. The
animals looked beautiful, but were
just the least bit inappropriate for
show animals from the viewpoint of
many — they were pole cats (with
their stinker apparatus being
minus.)
Canned goods, packed and ar
ranged perfectly, were nicely dis
played in the main building, practi
cally anything one could wish to eat
being shown. Noticeable in this de
partment was the manner in which
the fruits and other foodstuffs had
been packed.
Then there were cakes, pies,
candies, end most anything else in
the goody-goody line that would
tempt the appetite of the most dis
gruntled old grumbler. “No samples’’
were being given out, however, so the
scribe could only judge by looks.
Enough beautiful dahlias were in
evidence to have been a dahlia show ,
within itself. This display added the
necessary touch of color to the main
building and did not lack for atten
tion. Dahlias were entered f'.Vm all
sections of the county.
In the vocational agriculture de
partment one could really see just
what the young boys who take voca
tional agriculture are accomplishing
—perfect potatoes, corn, hays, and
ether displays, with blemishes that
were noted in the "old folks” display !
being prominent by their absence.
A neatly arranged ana wen
planned child’s room was put up by
Margaret White, eighth grader of
the Rosmsn school, with a bed that
would appeal to most any child, a
little dressing table ,book stand, and
wardrobe with neatly hung dresses
and wraps.
Standing out to itself was a beau-;
tiful bassinet in the center of the
home making department, made by
Hazel Moore, second year pupil of
th; home making class at Rosman.
The bassinet was complete in every
detail, lacking only a smiling, cooing j
baby, and to take care of this short- j
age a big doll sufficed.
Dresses, wraps, spreads and other
home necessities, made by girls in ,
the home making departments of the j
two high schools were attractively ,
arranged .and drew attention from
ladies and girls, and eve nsome of j
the menfolk.
Styles worn by women four thous- ,
and years ago, and on down through ,
the ages, through the age of the big
hats, the bustles, the hoop skirts,
hobble skirts, short skirts and pres
ent day modes were displayed by
Miss Lucy Slagle, teacher of home
economic? at Brevard high school.
Early Egyptian styles, Roman,
Grecian, Spanish, French, English,
the Pilgrims, early American and on
down were complete to the minutest;
details, dolls being used as models,
with fabrics and colors being as near ,
correct as possible, and accentuated
by correct head dress and accessories. |
Miss Slagle put in several months (
work on the display. |
Altogether the vocational agricul- j
ture and home economics displays'
were leaders in exhibits, but the;
entire showing was one that Tran
sylvania county could well be proud |
of.
Many things of interest were noted ,
—but Van Waldrop’s paper-eating
mare, evidently adverse to publicity,
materially deducted from the write
up.
Adding much to the fair was the
sign work, pointers and streamers
that were made up by Girtha \\ at
kins and Tom Stroup. Special men
tion should also he made of the work
done by the buildings and grounds
committee,and members of b"th voca-,
ticnal agriculture and home econom
ics classes for their work in putting
on the fair.
DATE CHANGED FOR
ANNUAL MEETING!
On last Sunday the annual cele
bration of Davidson River Day was
held in the old Presbyterian church
on Davidson River. The church was
packed and the attendance amounted
to several hundred. The morning ser
mon was by the Reverend R. D.
BeddiJ'ger, D. D.. of Asheville, who
gave a powerful sermon on “Wit
nessing for Christ.’’ The afternoon
services the Reverend J. P. Simmons,
pastor of the Brevard-Davidson
River churrh preached. At the after
noon services a short talk was given
by W. R. Kinuey on some of the
items on the old . history of the
church, and in connection with his
talk a copy of the obituary of John
Murray was read. John Murray had
united with this church in the year
1802. In 1828 he was a ruling elder
and continued a ruling cider of
Davidson Rivar dhureh until 1859
when the Mills River church was cut
off from the Davidson River church
and was an elder of the Mills River
church until his death in 'SCO.
The date of Davidson River day
was changed from the first Sunday
in October to the last Sunday in
September.
The usual Davidson River day pic
nic dinner was very much in evi
dence. There were enough fried chick
ens to feed a regiment with the
usual accompaniment of ham, beef,
deviled eggs, salads, cakes, pies, et
cetera, et cetera.
This is one of the annual celebra
tions in the county which is always
well attended, and always enjoyed
by all. The greater part of the crowd,
as usual, was from this county but,
there was quite a number present
from adjoining counties in this state
and South Carolina.—Contributed.

EUROPEINTURMOIL
BECAUSE OF DEATHS
MARSEILLE, France, Oct. 10 —
King Alexander of Yugoslavia, dic
tator-ruler of the land where the
World war spark first flamed twenty
years ago, and Foreign Minister
Louis Barthou, France’s champion
of peace, were shot to death by a
Yugoslavian assassin five minutes
after the king arrived here Tuesday.
From all the capitals of Europe
came concern that the spectacular
slaying would unsettle the balance <1
peace on the continent, although no
immediate danger of war was fore
seen.
The assassination took place as
King Alexander was being escorted
from the vessel on which he arrived
to government buildings in Marseille.
The assassin jumped upon the side
of the car in which the royal visitor
was riding and there fired the fatal
shots. He was cut down by two blows
from the sword of a French cavalry
officer. The killer continued to fire
after he fell to the ground and twelve
persons were wounded.
To the Balkar throne in Alexan
der’s stead will come the 11-year-old
Crown Prince Peter, but upon a
regency will rest the shaping of poli
cies that may alter the makeup of
the western world.

He received several cuts and bruises
in the accident but was able to return
to Willets Sunday afternoon.
CARDINALS BEST
DETROIT TIGER )
Dean Brothers Complete Saga
Unmatched In History
Of Baseball
■■■
Detroit, Oct. 10—Completing the |
spectacular saga of the Deans with
a history-making climax, the great
Jerome Herman (Dizzy) Dean pitch
ed St. Louis to the baseball chain
pionahip of the world with a record
shutout triumph, 11 to 0, as the Car
dinal clouting crew slaughtered the
pitching staff of the Detroit Tigers:
in as wild and riotous a finish as any i
world series has ever witnessed.
The National league champions
blasted the last defense of Mickey
Cochrane’s battered Bengals with u
smashing seven-run attack in the
third. They bombarded six pitchers
all told for a total of 17 hits while
Dizzy Dean, turning in the fourth
victory for his team and family,
emerged from the seventh and final
game with the most lopsided series
shutout margin since Christy i
Mathewson blanked the Athletics, 9j
to 0, in 1905.
The Cardinals gained the chain-1
pionship uf their own league by com- j
ing from seven games behind the
New York Giants in the last month !
of the season. The Dean boys, Dizzy 1
and Daffy, had able assistance in |
the first part of ibis spurt but took ;
the closing games of the season on j
alternate days. The Dodgers, in keen ,
recollection cf the pre-season taunts
of the Giant manager, helped to j
make the Cardinal claims secure by
downing the Giants in the last two
games of the season. Detroit, mean
while, had coasted in with a large
lead.
The first game of the series was
just the same old story: too much
Dean. Jerome turned in a win over
Alvin Crowder. The Detroit ace,
Lynwood Rftwe, finally came out win
ner in is superb hurling duel with
Wild Bill Tlallahan, who pitched
perhaps the best game of the series,
only to be defeated 3 to 2.
The Dean family took up the bur
den again for the next day and Paul
Dean bested Bridges, curve ball artist
for the Tigers. Aucker, rookie Tiger,
turned in a win over Carlton to
square the count. Bridges then gave
Jerome Dean a defeat to give the
Tigers the lead, three to two.
From there on out it was the Dean
boys again. Paul bested Lynwood
Howe and Jerome came back with a
day's rest to blank the Tigers for the
winner’s cut of the series money.

An Endorsement...
tor
E. M. m Mins
For the past 22 years I have been
dealing in logs, wood and bark, and
have sold practically all such prod
ucts as I havo handled during these'
long years to the Gloucester Lumber
company at Rosman.
About nine years ago, when Mr.
Collins, (Kay to me and ail people in
this county) started working in the
office of the Gloucester Lumber com
pany, I was the first man to have
dealings with him in his new work,
and at that time found him to be fair,
upright, honest, and a man oi ability.
In my dealing with the Gloucester
Lumber company through Kay Col
lins I have done better than twenty
five thousand dollars worth of busi
ness during the years he has been
serving the public, and I deem it a
pleasure now to endorse him as a
man that is all that could be expected
of any gentleman. In none of my
dealings have I found Kay to be par
tial either to me as a customer oi t >
the company for which he works.
Therefore, I take the greatest of
pleasure in recommending Kay Col
lins to my friends and the voters of
Transylvania County as a man they
car implicitly trust, and feel sure
that the county can do no better than
to elect him to the House of Repre
sentatives fit the election to be held
on November Gth.
Respectfully,
