Brevard News. Wonder what has
come over the spirit of Noah now,
is he running a garden, we won
der.—Asheville Times, No, just
a neighborly feeling.
Mighty good time for those who
are patronizing out of town mer
chants to remember that their sup
port of home institutions is needed.
Dead stores would mean a dead

Sale of Land for Taxes
I will offer for sale, as the law directs,

Brevard, N. C., at 12 o’clock, noon, on the
first Monday in May, bein^ the seventh
day of May, 1917, all the following de
scribed lands on which taxes are now due
and «npaid.
J. H. PICKELSIMER.
Tax Collector.
Some good work remains to be
done at Penrose in favor of the
election for school bonds. It
would be a serious blow to that
community for the indifferent citi
zens, or those who have not had
sufficient light as to the benefits of
better educational facilities, to de
feat the measure.
Are you a member of the Bre
vard Betterment association? If
not, why not? Just now the ladies
are engaged in completing the
school play ground, encouraging
flower gardens, preparing for a
clean-up campaign, thinking about
associated charity work, first aid
to the injured, etc. Lend the as
sociation a helping hand. It is
doing fine w'ork.
“I trust your paper will urge
the cleaning up of the town. Your
people need a better civic consci
ence on this,” writes Prof. L. B.
Haynes from Meridian, Miss., who
will soon be in Brevard to conduct
Camp Brevard, the summer school
again. It is enough to say that
the Betterment association is busy
with the situation, which means it
will be pushed to a successful con
clusion. Of course the ladies have
the hearty co-operation of the
News.
People in all sections of the
county are interested in the roads,
the road funds, road building op
erations and the prospects for bet
ter roads in which connection Mr.
G. E. Lathrop, an accountant, has
made at the request of the county
commissioners an investigation of
the records and reports required
by law from the road overseers.
This is a very instructiv’e report,
an eye-opener, and the commis
sioners have arranged for its pub
lication in the News next w’eek.
It’s worth reading once or twice.
Waynesville had the same car
nival that Brevard did and the
Courier says: “The experience of
the town this week with a carni
val company siMuld be sufficient
to prevent the appearance here of
any such organization.” Reckon
they all went out to take a draft
from “the Spring of Youth,”
familiarly known as “Camp 49,”
which, it has been said by some
lady, all young men in Brevard
except three visited. The men,
yoting and old, certainly were hun
gry for a little rib-tickling and we
agree with the Courier that the
town authorities should keep out
#udi organizations.

FINE ELEGTBICAL lFI« ENT
FOR MR. SILYERSTEIN’S HOME
Joseph S. SilverstiMii. who is
erecting the finest residence in Bre
vard and one unions the finest in
the whole of Wertern Carolina, hns
nlong with other modern tonches
introdaced some innovations for
the town in the way of electrical
arrangements. The lighting ays
tpm, which was installed by M. M
Chapman, is quite elaborate and
up-to-date. The honse is a large
one ana being well equipped elec
trically means quite a financial out
lay in electrical arrangements to
say nothing of the fixtures, which
have not been installed.
one approaches the honse
from Main street he will be greeted
by R row of lights leading from the
entrance to the honse. These lights
will be controlled by pushing a but
ton on the front entrance to the
11 ouse, which moves a remote con
trolled switch in the basement.
In each of the three gables of the
honse will be a 100 watt light,
which will be controlled by switch
es at three places in the house.
When three gable lights are thrown
on the entire grounds surrounding
the home will be flooded with light.
They will serve their purpose
should any unusual noises be heard
around the premises at night.
Qnito a novel feature will be the
automatically coLitrolled lights
in nil closed closets. The lights
are automatically turned on and oiT
upon opening and closing the door
of the closet.
The living room will be the most
elaborately equipped one in the
honse. Arrangements have been
made for having about any kind of
light desired at any point in the
room in addition to the chandelier.
This is perhaps the biggest job
Mr. Chapman ever had and he nat
urally feels proud of the distinction
of having received the work. He
has also been av.'arded the contract
to wire the residence of R. H. Zach
ary, which will perhaps be the sec
ond costliest home in Brevard.
Centlnuino Ancient Custom.
The woman who appears Easter
morning in her favorite pew with a
'•perfect dream” of a hat and a gown
fresh from the confines of its basting
threads is simply repeating the atti
tude of devotion assumed by her sister
of the church in the early centuries of
Christianity. Gregory of Nyssa, in the
last days of the fourth century, wrote
vividly of the gay and Joyous crowds
that in his far bishopric honored the
festival of the resurrection with bright
and fresh attire, as their Oriental
minds dictated. The manner of the
celebration has had more permanence
than Gregory’s writing. There is to*
day a wider circulation of milliners’
bills than of those pious books.
THINKS PErtROSE SCHOOL
ELECTION WILL CARRY
W. L. Carmichael, who with his
family a few months ago moved
from Hendersonville to Davidson
River, when in town Saturday ex
pressed keen interest in the school
bond election to be held at Penrose
on April 17.
Mr. Carn'ichael was several
rears ago superintendent of the
schools of this county and he read
ily recognizes that failure to carry
the election for a bond issue in or
der to build a school house would
be calamitous to the district, mean
ing the failure to erect a much-
needed building and the loss of the
high school department of the
school.
Admitting the fight will be a hard
one M^. Carmichael fools that the
advocates of education .cwill win.
