ELECTION GOES OFF
VERY QUIETLY HERE
Usual Disturbances Absent In
Brevard Tuesday Aft
ernoon and Night
The general election in Transylvania
was comparatively quiet, according to
reports coming to The Times office
from various precincts in the county.
In some instances, drinking was no
ticeable to a more or less marked de
gree. but there was no general trend to
ward boisterousness.
At Brovard on Tuesday night, most
of the business houses had closed their
doors by six o'clock, and with the ex
ception of one cafe, all had dosed before
7:30.
The usual street fighting seen here on
presidential election nights was absent,
with the exception of a couple minor
“scrimmages” which did no real da
mage and involved only a few peo
ple.
One young "mademoiselle” was plac
ed in the county jail about 8 o’clock
Tuesday night, after she had evidently
taken too much election joy water. The
woman had entirely passed out when
officers were notified that there was a
dead woman down on Caldwell street
Some chap had just a little different
idea from what perfume really Is, and
caused quite a bit of consternation by
bringing a pole cat into town, and pa
rading it in the uptown section.
Returns from the county, the state,
and the nation were broadcast from the
Sledge-Rromfield electric shop, with the
board of elections and The Times co
operating in keeping the large crowd
about the public square and in front of
the court house Informed as to trend
of the vote counts.

$1,100,000 to customers through reduc
tion of gas and electric rates was an

a good "water year" were given as rea
sons for the action of the company.
Coincident with the announcement,

Chairman Jas. W. Wolfe of the South

nounced in detail new schedules of
rates.
Commissioner Winborne said that
North Carolina customers would get the
benefit of $733,000 annually. The power
company said the reduction had not
been divided by states, but it was point
ed out that, since 1932, the Duke com
pany has consistently reduced rates.
It was the second reduction by the

COLLEGE mm
FIELD WORK STARTS
WPA Forces Will Build Recre
ation Project For Use
By This Community
Work was started Monday morning
on the Brevard College athletic field,
with the Works Progress Administra
tion to have charge of the construction
work, In conjunct! ol with the town of
Brevard, sponsor of the project, and the
cooperation of the college.
Plans cal! for erection of a stone wall
along North Broad street and French
Broad street, with other Improvements
to be made by the WPA which will
make the athletic field not only a thing
of beauty, but one of service to the col
lege and the community.
Part of the materials and all of the
labor will be furnished by the WPA,
enabling the field to be of more elabor
ate and appropriate type for use by the
college and the community as a recrea
tion center.
The four acres of land on which the
field, and later the gymnasium will be
constructed, has been deeded over to
the Town of Brevard, and will be under
control when finished of a board of con
trol composed of members of the col
lege faculty and officials of the town.
Cost of operating the project when de
veloped will be borne by the college.
Superphosph&ting Of
Land Pays In Yields
fW. C. Mane as, Assistant Agent.)
According to field tests of soils in this
county and Henderson county made by
Mr. Lee, soil specialist from State Col
lege, lime is a limiting factor In the
results obtained from the use of triple
superphosphate.
The triple superphosphate furnished
by jtbmtHenr,eat.ee Valley Authority for
farm management demonstration work
in the county has given excellent re
sults In the yield and In the quality of
crops in most cases except those where
the soil shows a decided acid reaction
according to actual tests. Results have
been measured as in terms of tons of
hay and estimated In yield of small
grains which are almost unbelievable In
some casos.
The weights of nSy vary from 1610
pounds per acre on phjsphated areas to
200 pounds per acre nri the chcck-plot
or non-phosphated areas. ’The yield on
wheat on one field with proper lime con
tent was estimated to be 22 bushels per
acre where the triple suprphosphato
was applied and only 12 bushels per
aero on the check-plot, or land not re
ceiving triple superphosphate.
According to these results we cun
easily see that available phosphate in
the soil Is an Important factor and ihat
the lime content must be sufficient for
the greatest return from triple super
phosphate.
