DAVID COPPERFIELD
“David Copperfield,’’ a masterly
i icLuve adapted from the novel of
Charles Dickens, will be the screen
showing at Clemson Theatre Mon
day and Tuesday if next week. The
picture, which runs for two hours,
is said to follow the novel faithfully,
depicting among other details of the
story young David’s happiness with
his mother; the heartbreak and
misery caused by his cruel step
father; the boy’s apprenticeship in
the London bottling works; his flight
to Dover where Aunt Betsy lived;
his school days; his marriage to the
impractical Dora and finally his re
turn to Agnes. Dickens’ characters,
in fact, live again in movie, and as
many incidents of the book as possi-.
ble are sincerely incorporated in the
picture.
Four pictures each day wiil be
shown for David Copperfield, the
shows to begin at 1 and 3:15 for
the matinees, and 7 and 9:15 for the
night showings. The management ad
vises that the picture be seen from
the start to get the full benefit.

next week, Janet Gaynor and War
ner Baxter will appear in "One More
Spring,’’ from the novel by Robert
Nathan. This i3 an inspiring drama
of today, with high adventure and
gallant courage. The popular hero
and heroine of the screen together
glorify the courage of love.
“Blazing Guns,’’ with Reb Rus
sel! and Rebel, the marvel horse, will
be shown Friday and Saturday of
this week. Reb and his fnmous steed
Rebel fought and galloped their way
through the stormy scenes of action
that make this production one of the
be-'t outdoor pictures of the season.

Farmers Called To Meet Saturday
For Organization Under TVA Plan
A telegram was received by
Julian Glazener from District
Agent Goodman late Wednesday
afternoon stating that Repre
sentative Powers of the TVA
wmdd attend the meeting here.
Organization of a TVA farm unit
for Transylvania county will be per
fected at a meeting -cf farmers and
, business men to be held in the county
| court house at 1:30 o’clock Saturday
' afternoon.
It is pointed out that the Tennes
. see Valley Authority is willing and
I anxious to assist this and other
I western counties which border on or
i arc a part of the Tennessee River
• watershed, to improve farm condi
j tiona in general, and to work toward
; a definite goal in reforestation, soil
erosion, and farm improvement in
general. However ,it is necessary, be
fore the TVA will take any part in
i the work, that a definite plan of
! procedure be mapped out, and it is
] for setting up this phase of the pro
, gram that the meeting will be hold
| Saturday.
Professor Julian Glazener, who
will act as temporary chairman of
I the meeting here Saturday, states
that it is the wish of the agricultural
extension department of State Col
lege and the TVA that all farmers of
the county be present at the meeting
and express their ideas of the best
program to be planned, and form the
various ideas gathered at the meet
ing, some definite or semi-definite
plan be- adopted, and an organiza
tion of an official capacity be per
fected.
Each community will play a dis
tinct part in the work that is to be
done through the Tennessee Valley
Authority, and committees of farm
ers in each of the sections will decide
upon location of the demonstration
farm in each of the communities'.
It is pointed out that regardless
of what future steps may be taken
by the TVA in this county, organiza
tion of the farming and improve
ment program will be of material
benefit. If at any time in the .future
it' should be decided by the govern
mental agency to build a dam on the
French Broad river, farm lands
would be assessed at their relative
values, and the county agent would
in. all probability be a deciding fac
tor in settling of claims for damages
done if and when there would be a
necessity for taking over property
here. Any improvements made on
farms would naturally be taken into
consideration in any condemnation
proceedings. This is being mentioned
in order to allay any feeling among
farmers that improvements of ex
tended nature would not be profit
able.
At the cutset, there is no expressed
intention on the part of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority to build a
storage dam on the French Broad
river.
