The Times Is Highly Praised For Winning Second Place In Nation (Continued From Page One) W. K, Hoyt, of Winston-Salem, president of the North Carolina Press Association, writes: “Congratulations to you and The Times on the fine recognition you received at recent NEA meeting. I was delighted that two members of the North Carolina Press Ai sociation received NEA awards. “It appears that the N. C. Press Awards have possibly offered a stimulant which has been partially responsible for the winning of these national awards . . . “In any event, I am delighted that you have won this national honor. Keep up the good work!” John B. Harris, of Albemarle, vice president of the North Caro lina Press Association, wrote: “Allow me to extend congratula tions on the NEA award. It seems to me that the judges certainly picked the right paper for the award.” J. Maryon Saunders, secretary of the General Alumni Association of the University of North Caro lina at Chapel Hill, writes: “Congratulations upon the news I have about The Transylvania Times. It is indeed a splendid recognition—not only for the An dersons and also for Brevard and, in fact, all North Carolina . . . Here at the University we are proud of The Times.” Hugh Boyer, of Charlotte, man ager of the Caskie Paper company, stated that he wanted to add “our congratulations to the many you have received on winning second place for general excellence from N. E. A. This is a real accomplish ment—a salute to you. Sir, and more power.” Hugh McGilvar, publisher of The News-Times. Forest Grove. Oregon, stated. “We wish to congratulate ycu upon your rating in the gen eral excellence in weeklies over 1,000.” Under the title of “Congratula tions.” the following editorial appeared in The Elkin Tribune. Elkin, which won first place in the NEA community service con test: “The Transylvania Times, Ed M. Anderson, publisher, has been iTiTW'fftaimiHtimiiiimiitiiiminmaiMiiHimiiiiiiiiiimiiiiKiiinnnn When Its Time To Eat . . .

Gaither, Proprietor i JBROAD STREET ■ IllUUIlIKH HI,.□ awarded second honor in the National Editorial Association’s contest in the “General Excel lence” division for weekly pa pers with circulation of more than one thousand. We congratu late the Times, and Mr. Ander son, along with the loyal, talent ed workers who have been put ting their hearts and souls into the production of one of North Carolina's finest papers. “General Excellence means just that. Excellent in every particular. Antf those of us who have been following Ed Ander son’s papers, (he publishes sev eral) particularly the Transly vania Times, are so sold on its excellence that we wouldn’t know whether to use it on the score card or use the score card on it. “Winning recognition for his papers is nothing new for Ed Anderson and his charming wife (who we have reason to know has as much to do with their excellence as Ed himself). His papers have been placed up front by the North Carolina Press As sociation, and deservedly so. But we’ve a notion that these evidences of the approval of his fellow journalists are only in cidental. The chief joy of the Andersons comes from the knowledge that they are serving satisfactorily the people of their communities. And that they are. “We congratulate The Times on the honor that has come to it. But we reserve our heartier congratulations for its family of readers who are so fortunate in being served so well—so gen erally excellent.” The following editorial appeared in The Mocksville Enterprise, of which O. C. McQuage is editor: “It is with much genuine pleas ure that we congratulate two of our fellow North Carolina editors on the signal honors they won last week at Cincinnati, Ohio, at the 57th annual meeting of the Na tional Editorial Association. “Harvey F. Laffoon, editor and publisher of the Elkin Tribune, won first prize for the best com munity service and Ed M. Ander son. editor and publisher of the Transylvania Times at Brevard, won second place in general ex cellence. “It is notable that these contests embrace all of the weekly news papers of the United States who are members of the association, about 5.000. including smaller dailies. It is national competition in the keenest sense and this year there were about 400 entries from the various states. lhis is the iirst time that a North Carolina weekly newspaper has copped a first prize and re flects deserved national recogni tion for the brilliant work Mr. Laffoon did for more than a year in securing the opening of the lime mine in Yadkin county by the state. It shows, moreover, that the newspaper in the small town is the only agency that could ac complish such results and reminds us again of the good that can be accomplished in a community through the power and influence of the press. “The high opinion held by the judges of Mr. Laffoon’s entry, which won the North Carolina Press Association first place last year, may be seen by the fact that only third place went to a weekly in Columbia, Mississippi, which fostered a farm edition that at tracted nationwide attention, in cluding a visit by Secretary of Agriculture Wickard. “In winning second place for general excellence, Mr. Anderson, who publishes five weeklies, show ed that the North Carolina weekly press can compete successfully W anted TO BUY Ivy and Laurel (Kalmia and Rhododendron) 7" BURLS WILL PAY $9 to $15 per Ton, According to Quality . • .

(From the file of May, 1906) M. B. Waters and son, Jim, and son-in-law, Van Whitmire, left yes terday to build a railroad in Tennessee, with headquarters at Rogersville. The work may last until August, although they expect tc finish their contract before that date. Brick for W. M. Henry’s new cottage on South Caldwell Street is now on the lot ready for the builders. The brick was shipped from Fletcher and the freight cost was $1.30 per thousand. This freight might be saved by making our brick at home—why not have a brick plant and use it? Misses Pearl and Pink Gash, of Etowah, are visiting Mrs. R. W. Norton this week. Mrs. Melinda Garren is very ill at her home near Selica, and little hope is entertained for her recovery. T. D. English went as a delegate to the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows at Goldsboro this week. Baked redhorse! Well, yes we had dinner a few days since with LeRoy Ball and made the dis covery that baked fish is one of the accomplishments of Mrs. Ball. We propose hereafter to fish more strenuously than heretofore—that is, if we can be assured that Mrs. Ball will do the cooking act. D. L. English, Esq, went to Asheville on Monday to attend federal court. It is seldom that one has the pleasure of listening to a better all-round preacher than is Rev. E. Allison, who is holding a series with the best. General excellence includes all phases of the paper— news, editorials, advertising, neat ness of print, cleverness of make up. Many newspapermen regard general excellence as the most-to be-desired of all newspaper awards. Mr. Anderson won similar second place a number of years ago when he was at Reidsville and Miss Bea trice Cobb also won a second place with her Morganton Herald sev eral years ago. “Our hats are off to you, Brother Laffoon and Brother Anderson, two good newspapermen who do a swell job in your chosen profes sion!” Wife Preservers Fof^fruit stains in wash clothing, stretch garment across a large saucepan or other container, and pour boiling water through the stain.

His sermons are all good and practical, but the one to which it was a pleasure to listen on Sunday was a real gem. He preached on the love of Christ, and the subject was ably and forcibly handled. He does not lack words and seems to be brim full of the spirit. He will accomplish lasting good. Thursday night will be long re membered by Frank L. DeVane, J. W. McMinn, T. T. Loftis, W. H. Harris, Dr. Hunt, Dr. E. S. English and W. E. Breese, as on that night they were guests of Dr. Allison at Elk Lodge. The doctor had pre pared a banquet of turtle soup, broiled mountain trout, berbecued venison, Brunswick stew and many other delicacies, and taken in connection with his gracious hos pitality it was as enjoyable an occasion as could be desired. Workmen have commenced re moving the old brick building on the lot recently purchased by Dunn’s Rock Building company. This has long been an eyesore to patrons of the Aethelwold hotel as well as to home people, and its removal will be welcomed by all. A game of ten pins, after the meeting of the county commission ers last Monday, interested quite a crowd of on lookers. Chairman Brooks and G. W. Wilson, repre senting the thin and thick ele ments of humanity, were the cen ter of attraction. We haven’t learn ed yet which party won the game. Miller Finishes Course At Clemson CLEMSON, S.
