THE BOANOKE-CHOW-iH TIMES THUEB DAT MARCH 27, 1813
Needs ot Irevird Institute.
A paper read by Miss Ethel Futrell
before the Jackson Epworth League,
In the mountain section of
North Carolina, dwell those who
need domestic, mental and moral
help. This fact so impressed it
self upon the hearts of Mr. and
Mrs. Fitz Taylor, who chanced to
locate at Brevard on account of
the salubrious climate that they
opened up their own home and
began to plan for some academic
instruction for the people.
With the aid of the Epworih
Leagues of the Western North
Carolina Conference and the
Woman's Home Missionary Soci
ety this work was successfully
carried on and it has grown from
a small school to an institution
which is known all over this
state and many parts of others,
Jor the noble work it is accom
plishing: year by year.
Backed up by sufficient means,
this school would soon become
an important factor in fitting
many boys and girls for life who
at present, are spending their
lives in the mountains of our
state, almost entirely shut off
from civilization in darkness and
gnorance, waiting for an oppor
tunity to use and develop the
powers to which God gave all
human beings the right.
It is true there are a large
number of these boys and girls
who go to Brevard every year
but the number is small compar
ed to those who would go if the
accommodations of the school
were such as to allow them to
enter. '
The majority of ub cannot be
made to feel the need of uplift
mg and helping these people un
til we go among them and see
the conditions as thev really ex
ist; but once we have gotten a
.glimpse of their narrow lives we
cannot be satisfied until we have
done something to enlighten
them.
Ladies of the Home Missionary
Society, do not feel that your
efforts are unappreciated, for it
is to you that this school owes
its existence and the splendid
success with which it meets year
after year. But we must consid
er the large number of boys and
girls who are turned away each
session because there is no room
for them.
Naturally where there are few
educational influences, we would
not expect to see much ambition
evinced toward enlightenment,
hut in every phase of human ex
istence, be it high or low, there
is a spark of ambition Iving dor
mant, waiting- for the torch of
encouragement to be applied be
fore it bursts into a flame eradi
eating by its licking tongues the
curse of ignorance and leaving
in its place the lasting influence
f a noble and uplifted life. This
is the condition of the mountain
toy and girl : Left to themselves,
their ambitions unaroused. they
apend their lives in the secluded
mountains and never know there
is anything better awaiting them
on the outside. Even if they
seem satisfied, we have no right
to let them remain so. In the
mountains of our state, there are
endless fields for mission work,
which are being sadly neglected.
At the opening of Brevard In
stitute there was no room in the
main building to accommodate
the principal and his family so a
cottage was secured in front of
the school. Later on another ad
jacent cottage was added to fur
nish dormitory room. Soon the
campus was enlarged and anoth
er building added. None of these
however, have been adequate to
meet the opportunity that is open
to us. The great need of a large
ehapel and classroom building,
better dormitory facilities for
4xys,opportunity for agriculture,
and industrial equipments for
the girls is so apparent that the
demand has gone forth year by
year,: for large building and in
creased campus facilities. .v..;
There are four departments
and the school has a student
body of nearly three hundred.
Eleven teachers conduct this
work. The religious instruction
has molded character and given
strength and roundness to their
lives, while as teachers and use
ful citizens, the graduates oi
this institution have in turn car
ried on these molding influences.
The results of all the mountain
work maintained by the Woman's
Board has been limited only by
the equipment. We must give
larger life to these people who
are our natural charges. Born of
sturdy character, made hardy by
physical resistance, which is
needed in the rugged mountains,
we would not spoil by pauperiz
ing, but would claim all of the
fine elements of character, and
by culture and development make
citizens which both State and
Church would be nroud to ac
knowledge and use.

Your Cotton Will Cc2 Up Standing Like This
LEDBETTER "One Seed"
When Planted With the
Corn and
Cotton Planter
COMB in and see the only real cotton planter. The planter with a
positive, precise force feed, that will take linty cotton seed, just as
it comes from the gin, and plant the seed in a straight, narrow line
one at a time, equal distances apart as regular as buttons on a card.
- Other planters can beset to plant "thick or thin," but this planter
will plant thick a bushel or more of seed to the acre without bunching,
or thin-down to a bushel to six acres without skips.
Each plant stands alone with its own few inches of growing room cuts
the work of chopping down to one-half, and you can take your own time
about chopping plants keepxn growing and make stocky, vigorous bushes.
When you plant your cotton with a Ledbetter "One-Seed" Corn and
Cotton Planter one seed at a time, evenly spaced you can plant the best
seed that money can buy at no more cost than ordinary seed, because none
are wasted in useless bunching. And you get 5 bales of cotton on the same
land that grew only 4 before, because there are no skips in the row.
When the Ledbetter "One Seed" Corn and Cotton Planter is set for
planting corn it is strictly a corn planter, without an equal for that purpose
dropping without fail a single grain at any distance desired from 8 to
tBincnes. Ana me same wequiuiy
true when set to plant other seeds,
such as peas, beans, canteloupes,
watermelon, orshum. millet, etc.
With oeanut attachment it plants peanuts, large
or small, aliened or in tne men, wito equal success.
A double tuardntee Is behind every planter, that of
the manufacturers, The Southern Plow Company,
Dallas, Teias, and ourselves.
COME IN TODAY-We want you to see this planter
whether you intend buying a planter now or not
