CLINUARTER FOUND
AFTER 2-YEAR HUNT;
Negro Who Made “War of His
Own” Will Be Tried Here
at December Court
The long arm of the law reached j
out after two years and two weeks, |
and last Tuesday afternoon brought
Clint Carter, former Glade Creek
negro back from South Carolina and |
placed him in the Transylvania'
county jail.
Carter will be tried at the Decem
ber term of Superior court here for
assault with deadly weapon with
intent to kill two people. The negro
was arrested near Greer, S. C., by
deputies from Sheriff Tom Woods
office.
Check up on files of The Transyl
vania Times after Sheriff Wood had
reported capture of the negro reveal
ed that Carter was an alleged “bad
man of the mountains,” having taken
it upon himself two years ago, elec-1
tion day, to shoot Canton Red, for-1
mer Brevard negro athlete, through;
the leg and later taking a pot shot
at Buster Walker, another Glade
Creek negro, through the shoulder. |
Buckshot wac used in both instances, j
Carter is said to have immediately j
fled the scene of the shootings and
had his wife to first move to Ten
nessee, then to Asheville, and on to
Greer, S. C., where he was arrested j
by Deputy Tommy Wood.
At a hearing before Magistrate
Henry Erwin Wednesday morning
the negro was bound to court under
$3,000 bond which he was unable to
make. Bus Walker testified at the
preliminary hearing that after Car
ter had shot Canton Red he forced
him (Walker) to go to his home and
get his clothes. Carter changed
clothes sitting on the bridge over the
creek, and as he got up, Walker said
Carter shot him in the shoulder with
his shotgun, knocking him into the j
creek and after he fell into the |
water the negro again shot at him |
and missed.

NURSERY SCHOOL IS
IN PRIVATE BUILDING
(CONTRIBUTED)
The unexpected has happened to
the Nursery School! It has to vacate
the primary building which has been
condemned and will move this week
into a rented private dwelling, the
Johnston house on Jordan street.
The moving expenses, rent and
heat will fall heavily and the teach
ers are showing their faith in the
community by undertaking it on their
own ,rather than lose the school |
which is caring for a group of 30 or
more little children who greatly need
the care and balanced feeding pro
vided by the government. No other
provision is made for expense, as it
is expected that the community will
meet that.
The rent, coal and other necessary
expenses will run to $20 or more a
month and if those who have mani
fested a good intention will come to
the rescue and tide this project over
this season it will be most timely
and greatly appreciated. The town
offers water free. There is only one
heater in this house but. it is hoped
some cne will find a way to lend an
an. ther before the next hard cold I
weather. Certainly, we want to keep I
the school. 'SfflSPvlwBHI
The nursery school received visits
from Mrs. Mi G. Scarborough, state
supervisor, and Mrs. Mafion Faison,
state dietitian on Tuesday and it
turned out to be a glad day, although
it was also moving day. Mrs. Scar- j
borough was greeted by a good group j
of parents and interested adults to |
whom sl'.e said that without hesita-;
tion Brevard was set down as an A-l
school in the state. It met trie re
quirements df 24 or more average
attendance, equipment and teaching
force and had peculiar interest and
cooperation.
Mrs. Scarborough also placed her:
seal cf approval on the new home of |
the school on Jordan streets and |
feels sure the public will like it and
stay with it. Mrs. Avery Galloway
loaned a stove. The nursery mothers
offered to turn ir. and help clean up.
The tewn sent a truck and moved
the school Tuesday afternoon, due to
the courteous offer of Clerk Harry
Patton. Mrs. Grady Kilpatrick con
tributed a dollar in cash. Mrs. John
Kilpatrick and Mrs. A. W. Cuff sent
clothing and Bov (Deliong pointed
a sign.

WANT TO SELL BEST
CATTLE TO FARMERS
_
ASHEVILLE, Nov. 19—Congress
man Zeb Weaver and T, L. Gwyn,
who is in charge of the FERA
drouth relief cattle in Buncombe and
surrounding counties, are in Wash
ington attending a conference on the
proposal to sell the best of the cattle
to southern farmers instead of
slaughtering them for relief depots.
For several months there has been
wide-spread agitation for a scheme by
which the south could exchange
native scrub cattle for high-grade
western stock brought south for pas
turage and feeding.
Long deficient in high-grade beet j
cattle, Western North Carolina has
shown a lively interest in the pro
posal and when Mr. Gwyn tele
graphed Congressman Weaver from
Washington Thursday asking him t -
come to the capital for the conference
with FERA ofieials, Mr. Weaver ac
cepted at once. !
As pointed out some weeks ago by
The Asheville Citizen editorially,
both the government and the south
stand to benefit by such a plan ac
cording to County Agent A. W. Nes
bitt, very few of the drouth relief
cattle are fat enough to slaughter
this winter while the native cattle
are in fine shape.
The native cattle are not, on the
whole, of nearly so good strain as
the cattle brought from the drouth
stricken states and by exchanging j
then- fat scrub stock for the lean I
western cattle of the better strains j
now, and" feeding these through the
winter .southern farmers will greatly
improve their beef herds and make
more progress towards raising the
standards of southern livestock in one
year than could be made in a number
of years under normal conditions. j
In selecting drouth relief cattle for :
slaughter at the Asheville cannery,
FERA officials have kept this end,
in view, and have slaughtered the
scrub stock shipped here from the!
west and the poorer specimens of the I
blooded stock, leaving the fine cattle
in the pastures for possible sale or
trade to farmers in this territory.
According to Mr. Nesbitt the
average quality of the drouth relief
cattle is high, although the govern
ment has brought sorr.e exceedingly
low-grade stock here from the west.
Some of the western cattle are dairy i
breeds—with the quality here rang-:
ing from first class animals to |
scrubs also.
Superintendent Says County Schools B
May Have Ho Stop One Month Early
An emergency m operation oi tne j
school new exists according to Super
intendent G. C. Bush, that looks as
if it will force the county schools to
end their term one month prior to
schedule or at least will stop trans
portation of pupils by bus, which j
would materially cripple the attend
ance. Following is a statement from
the county superintendent’s office: j
We have some emergency school'
trunking, r Here is an emergency now
existing in keeping schools open and
paying salaries this year.
We are striving with the emer
gency existing in transportation of
children for Transylvania county.
This is a state wide emergency.
The following is an itemized list
of the amount which was spent for j
transportation in the county for tho I
first three months which end New.!
problems which will challenge your 20th.
For 9 bus drivers’ salary first three months .$ 472.25,
Gas, oil, grease . 505.00 i
Parts for repair of busses . 494.92 ]
Mechanic salary first four months and helper for 20 days . 200.00 |
Contract drivers first three months .. 390.00
—
Total spent first, three months ...,.$2,063.17
Total operating allotment from the state.$3,785.00
This allotment is final and will not be supplemented by the
state in the future.
Amount spent to date ..,. 2,068.17
*----—
Total left to operate for the next five months . 1,716.83
The following is the transportation expense for one month
from now on:
Drivers’ salary per month .149.50
Twc' contract drivers per month . 69.00
Salary mechanic per month . 45.00
Rent for International bus garage per month. 3.00
For hauling gas for the Silversteen school run . 2.00
Measuring gas per month. 6.00
Oil per month . 10.00
Gas per month . .... 160.00
•
Total cost per month now after making some adjustments. 443.60
For the next 5 months it will take .$2,217.50
It will take $500.67 more than we have to meet this cost.
The state has made its final allot
ment and we are not allowed to spend
beyond our allotment.
In several instances we have some
back tracking with our buses. This
has been ordered stopped by the
equnty board of education. This back
tracking is expensive for the tax
payers.
If this transportation money does
not hold out, there is nothing left to
do but to stop the schools when it
gives out.
If any citizen in the county can
show us how to save about $500 in
our transportation cost we would be
thankful.
