Sweetheart's Magnetic Personality Draws Youngster Into Toils of Law ” Herman Lunsford likes his girl. He likes his sweetheart so much that he was willing to brave all sorts of dan gers to visit her, and therein lies a story that cost Herman his freedom. Now Herman Is in the Transylvania county Jail, and he won’t be able to see his girl, unless she comes to Buck McCall’s "hotel” to see him, instead of his calling on her. Herman has been in Brevard before. He has been a guest at the McCall hotel before. Fact is, Herman spent several weeks In the McCall hotel, un til the urge to go see his sweetheart became so great that he went out of the place of abode here In Brevard via the coal shute, and outdistanced local officers who were trying to per suade him to stay here and meet Judge Felix Alley, next first Monday. But Herman didn’t want to meet Judge Alley, and he did want to see his girl, so out he went on October 11, Just a month ago. and on to Asheville he hiked to see his girl. The unwilling guest of Jailer Mc Call was placed there on a charge of stealing, and he seemed such an apt fellow about the place that Mr. Mc Call gave him the run of the place, and RUN he did the first chance he got. The coal man was hauling coal to the Jail, and was unloading It thiough a window in the basement Herman, being a helpful sort of guy, Sad been cutting kindling each afternoon In the jail basement, and when he saw the coal ahute open—leading out Into the free air and onto a road that led to ward the town where hfs girl lived, the urge was just naturally too great, and out he went—In a hurry. Sheriff George Shuford Inquired around and figured that Herman was sort of sweet on a girl over at Ashe ville, and he had officers there Iooki out for the departed guest whom Jailer McCall wished very much to have around. Asheville officers went to the home of Herman’s sweetheart a couple of weeks ago, and sure enough, there the young man was . . . but he didn't tarry long enough to discuss boarding at the Transylvania jail with the Ashe - ville officers, and the blue coats call ed Sheriff Shuford and told him "no luck this time.” Sheriff Shuford went over Tuesday evening, and again the Asheville of ficers went a-calllng to the home of Herman's girl friend. Sure enough, there he was. enjoying himself as young swains do when they are sitting around the parlor talking to their best girls. This time, precautions were taken to see that a talk could be had with Her man about his returning to Transyl vania where he has been so badly miss ed by Jailer McCall, and the young man is now residing temporarily in the county bastile, waiting for court— or another open coal shbte—and it Is quite likely that he prefers the latter. r Says Next Allotment In This District Will Come To Brevard Postoffice Brevard will get the next federal building allotted to the eleventh con gressional district. Congressman Zeh Weaver told a group of Brevard citi zens in Asheville. Following a custom which has l*een in vogue for a number of years, the congressman explained, there is one federal bulfding allotted each year to each congressional district, and the Asheville man said that he would un hesitatingly recommend that the building be placed in Brevard. There were only two places promi nently considered during the past year, Mr. Weaver said—Brevard and Can ton, and the postoffice receipts at Can ton were so far ahead of Brevard’s that the postoffice department decided in favor of Canton. Mr. Weaver said that he was placed in a very embarrassing situation in the selection of the place for the build ing which was finally allocated to Can ton, in that the department asked him to make his preferential request. He said that he told the committee that he felt Brevard needed the building far worse than Canton, but fhat receipts showed the latter place far in advance on that score, and that he felt the matter entirely up to the placement bureau. However, the congressman distinct ly promised. Brevard would be recom mended for the next building alloted to his district. Numerous people have written to the congressman In the past few weeks, asking that he use his influence to se cure a federal building for Brevard, and letters have also been sent by the same writers to Senator Reynolds, and Postmaster General Farley. Clubs and organizations of the county have pass ed resolutions, and asked their mem bers to write, and a barrage of mall has been going out to the three offi cials for sometime netting forth Bre vard’s claims for a building. A steering committee has been ap pointed "by the Chamber of Commerce to lead the movement, and severe' sub committees have also been formed which are functioning with the wide Interest. Woodmen Hold “Open House" Monday Evo “Open House" was held by the local' Woodmen Monday evening, with about 125 ladles and men present. Following a delicious oyster stew sup per served by ladies of the Woodmen Circle, short speeches were heard, and music hi^ the Woodmen string hand, which is composed of seven pieces, and adds much to the Interest of the regu lar Monday night meetings.
