Sheriff Amendment
Takes Effect Two
Years After Present
Amendment to the state constitution
to make the terms of sheriff and cor
oner four years instead of two carried
In last Tuesday's election, but it left
that status the same as it has been for
years insofar as the present electives
ire concerned.
This is the opinion of legal lights of
the state, who have checked into the
bill calling for the state-wide voting on
the proposed amendment.
The average person was of the opin
ion that when the amendment carried,
the 1938 electives would automatically
have a four-year term of office. The
matter is expected to be taken to the
supreme court as soon as It can be pre
pared by the Constitutional Amend
ment Committee, but little hope is held
out that it will be given favorable de
cision by the state tribunal.

Four Football Games Here Within Week
Brevard football fans will be permit
ted to have their fill of football sched
uled as follows:
Friday—
BHS vs Mars Hill High.
Saturday—
College vs Lees McRae.
Monday—
Midgets vs Blue Ridge.
Wednesday—
BHS vs Franklin High.
And, of course, next Thursday, the
college squad.against Mars Hill there
which will end the season.
Friday afternoon’s tilt between Coach
Cox's high squad and Mars Hill Is the
re-openlng of a series of games which
was In effect for several years, but has
not been played during the past two
years. This game Is expected to be a
hard one, and the visitors will prob
ably come so close to defeating Bre
vard that It won’t be worth laughing
over before the game. The game starts
at 3:30.
Saturday’s go between Brevard Col
lege and Lees-McRae Is another game
that will be close crowding for Coach
Chrlstenbury's charges. So far this
season the Lees-McRae eleven has been
nhead of Brevard In comparative scores,
and the advantage of playing at home
will probably be the deciding factor for
the locals. The game starts at 2 sharp.
Edwin Wike’s midget thrillers, who
have gone undefeated for three years
until last Saturday when Blue Ridge
set the little boys down with a 6-0
loss, meets the same crew Monday af
ternoon at 8:80 on the BHS grid, and
Edwin says he expects to tell an en
tirely different Btory when the final
whistle blows.
On Wednesday, the Franklin high
crew starts their march against Bre
vard at 3:30, and that will be another
doubtful affair until the last period
has been declared ended. In previous
years the two teams have kept on an
even keel, and as It will be the last
game for each outfit both crews will be
on their toes. .
Thanksgiving Day is expected to see
most all of Brevard College students
and particularity all of the Brevard fans
at Mars Hill College for the annual
Turkey Day festival oT fight and growl
that so far has been one of Joy to Mars
Hill.
Brevard high has been up against
some heavy conference teams this
year, and have come out with four wins
out of nine starts.
Win or lose, the Brevard fan who
likes his football In bunche3 will have
satisfaction In that one department at
least.
Farm Leader Dies
VANCE A. BROWNING, educa
tional director of the Fanners Fed
eration, and former state senator,
died from a heart attack In Ral
eigh early Wednesday morning,
Mr. Browning was attending the

was a very active worker. Mr.
Browning had spent considerable
time In Transylvania during the
past year, and had a large number
of friends here and throughout
Western Carolina.

Special Thanksgiving services will be
held at the Brevard Baptist church
Thanksgiving morning at 9 o’clock.
This Is the time when Baptists all
over the state give their special
Thanksgiving offering for the Thomas

hearts, yea, even more.
Come to the church on Thanksgiving
morning to make your offering and to
commune In sweet fellowship with God
and God's people. Let us bring the
entire family, even the least. Surely
every Baptist family will want to meet
at this time to give thanks unto Him
who has given of his abundance to us.
Let us not neglect the assembling of
' ourselves together, and let us consider
! it a great duty as well as a glorious
privilege to meet and give and love and
worship together.

let us go Into the house of the Lord.”
