The Transylvania county library
now has 12 of the fiction titles and
12 of the general titles appearing
on the best seller lists in the New
York Times book section, according
to Miss Ruth Barnard, county li
brarian.
“See how well we are keeping
readers up to date,” the librarian
stated.
One month after the publication
of the novel, “The Gown of Glory”
by Agnes Sligh Turnbull, this book
leaped to third place on the nation
al best seller list.
Coast-to-coast acclaim for the
new national best seller by Mary
O'Hara, “The Son of Adam Wyn
gate,” has also been heard. One re
viewer said, “In her greatest, most
human, most compelling novel,
Mary O’Hara tells the dramatic sto
ry of a brilliant minister who, at
the peak of his career, is trapped in
a soul-destroying struggle between
the compulsions of the flesh and
the spirit.”

in Korea, Congress cut the appro
priation for PMA. As a result, each
county in North Carolina, includ
ing Transylvania County, received
a cut in its PMA allotment. Be
cause of this reduction by Congress
on account of the war in Korea, and
not on account of Mr. Wilson’s res
ignation, the payments to the farm
ers in Transylvania County were
reduced to §26,974.90 (not $22,000
as stated by Mr. Wilson in his po
litical ad).
We shall appreciate it if you
will kindly publish this letter so
that the people may know the true
facts about the PMA which has
done and is doing so much to help
the farmers of Transylvania county.

Daar Editor:
In reply to your article of May
14th about the “Hugging Party” of
1902. well, I must confess that the
party dates back some months be
fore I was born. However, I feel
free to defend the said church al
leged to have sponsored such an
affair for the purpose of raising
money.
There is a mistake somewhere
and those young ladies and young
men- of 1902 are now resting be
neath the clay. They have already
heard that “Well done, thou good
and faithful,” and I feel that if
Christians of 1952 haven’t got the
guts to defend them against an ar
ticle of this nature it just seems to

GETS SCHOLARSHIP
Granddaughter Of Mrs. Wit
mer To Study Under Ful
bright Act
Matilda R. Cartledge, grand
daughter of Mrs. M. B. Witmer, of
Brevard, has been selected by the
board of foreign scholarships for a
government grant under the Ful
bright Act to study religion at the
University of Edinburgh, Scotland.
Miss Cartledge, the daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. G. H. Cartledge, has
spent most of her summers in Bre
vard, where she is well known.
At the present time she is in
structor in Bible and religious ed
ucation at Belhaven college in Jack
son, Miss.
Miss Cartledge plans to leave in
September and will remain in Lon
don for a brief orientation period
before taking up studies at Edin
burgh. •
She received her bachelor’s de
gree from Oberlin college and her
masters in religious education at
the Biblical Seminary in New York
City.
The Fulbright Scholarships were
set up to enable American students
to study in Europe and at the same
time aid the countries in which
they study. Miss Cartledge is the
second woman with local connec
tions to receive one of these grants.
Miss Joan Austin, of Brevard, is
now studying in France on a Ful
bright scholarship and will not re
turn home until this fall.
me that their bones will cry out
from the grave. I didn’t say that
some group of people didn’t stage
a party of this nature, but not the
church, back in the day of home
spun jeans, brogan shoes and black
bonnets. Well, it just doesn’t make
sense. I’m afraid that some of the
modern churches of this day do
sponsor and indulge in activities
that would knock the props from
under sycamore center, but not in
1902. And if the paper of 1902 car
ried such an article I would rec^
ommend a bon fire. And after all,
the reproach is not brought on the
old saints of 1902, but it’s against
God, for in His word he says “it’s
not you that they persecute but
me.’’ And I am one of the least
in the sight of man, but I must de
fend my Lord.
