Declines To Run
Former Mayoi J. C. WIKE asks The
Times to state for him that he is not a
candidate at this time for mayor of
Brevard.
Mr. Wike said that a number of peo
ple in Brevard had asked him to make
the race, hut that Interests which he is
now connected with will necessarily
take him tiwaj from Brevard for a con
siderable part of his time during the
next two years, and further, that he
does not want to oppose the re-election
of Mayor \ It. Harris, who has an
nounced for the office.
Mr. Harris served under me as a
nu mber of the board of aldermen and
mayor pro tem while I was head of the
town government in 10.TI and '35." Mr.
Wike said, "and l regard him as a
highly efficient tnan and especially
fitted for the place of mayor.”
Further. Mr. Wike said. "I do not
want to jeopardize in any way the v r.v
favorable debt settlement plan which
the mayor and his hoard are working
on. 1 appreciate the fact that there arc
so large a group of people in Brevard
who would like to have me electa l
mayor, hut taking all things into con

County Agent Urges
Corn Contest Entries
t.l. .t. r;la.~rnrr. County Aarnt.)
As we think of porn planting tini".
may we think of planting at least one
ac re of prize winning corn. Transylva
nia farmers just got too much pride and
determination to lose a good thing aft t
once they have won it.
.lust one way to hold the production
corn growing record over nu:* friends in
the neighboring county and that is to
produce more corn per acre than they
do and at a lower cost p< r bushel. The
more farmers we have in this contest,
the more good we will get out of it: a
finer spirit of cooperation will be shown
and last but not least, our chances for
winning Will be better.
Select your best piece of ground, see
that a good 3eed bed is prepared. TTse
the very best seed corn available of an
adapted variety. Fertilize well using tin1
kind and amount recommended by the
experiment station for this section. Do
a real job of cultivation and if you don't
win a production prize, you will greatly
profit by your increased yield.
At least 100 farmers is the goal that
has been sot for Henderson county en
tries, according to Information from the
county agent, with a targe group al
ready signed up.

Fire Burns Home of
Mr. and Mrs. Varner
Fire of an undetermined origin did
several thousand dollars damage to the
home of Mr. and Mrs. S. K. Varner
shortly after noon Sunday. The entire
upper section of the la re.' frame house
known ns the Jasper Orr place, was
damaged by the blaze which had gained
considerable headway before the fire
men arrived.
The fire apparently started from a
spark on the west side of the shingled
roof, and the wind whipped the Maze
ncross the large structure rapidly.
The Brevard fire department made a
record run to the home, and had water
on the Maze exactly four minutes from
the time the fire siren Rounded.
But for the quick work of the Bre
vard fire fighting corps, the entire
house would have been destroyed. A
Times reporter checked on the time It
took the local department to get to
the fire and have water going, and when
the firat hose threw a stream of water
on the building it lacked Just a few
second.- of iwlrtf four minutes.
As usual, here were many people
soon congregat'd at the scene of the
fire. While a few people helped the
firemen in dragging the hose up the
Incline to the house, and others assisted
In carrying some of the furnishings
from the building, majority of the peo
ple were more or less In the way.
Chief Brumfield states that he expects
to have two deputized firemen cheek
car numbers and assist In Identifying
the people who rare to the next fire. A
town ordinance prohibits going into the
block where the firemen are engaged tn
fighting a fire.
It Is understood that Mr. Varner's loss
was covered by insurance.
