SPRAYING IRISH POTATOES:
Ijf: -
$46.00 more per acrc on potatoes
by spraying. A potato demonstra
tion conducted on the farm of R. L.
Blackweilder near Penrose this sum
mer for the control of late and early
blight proved successful and by
weighed measure Mr. Blackwelder
made 23 more bushels of potatoes
per aqre on the potatoes that were
sprayed than the unsprayed.
Mr. Blackwelder sprayed his po
tatoes only twice the first part of
June and the latter part of June with
the bordeaux mixture, and cost 'only
five dollars per acre including labor
and materal. Which gives him a net
gain of $41.00 per acre for spraying
his potatoes.
On a six year demonstration on the
Buncombe test farm the sprayed
potatoes yifelded on an average for
the six years 52 bushels more than
the unsprayed, and one year one hun
dred bushels more per acre.

BREVARD INSTITUTE NOTES:
The Y. M. C. A. gave a marsh -
mallow toast last Saturday night in
the open field bordering the creek.
They utilized the heaps of brush
wood that were left from the trees
whch have been, cut down recently
to clear this field for planting pur
poses. The bonfires were quite
spectacular and the mild weather
and the moonlight made it possible
for every one'to enjoy the open -air
frolic without any discomfort.
There will be only one holiday for
Thanksgiving week, Thursday, as
this week is the first term examina-
ton and it is impossible to take more
time from the regular schedule.
Only a very few pupils went home,
and those only whose average for
the three months was sufilcipntly high
to excuse them from term examina
tions.
Miss Caroline Trowbridge will at
tend the Galli - Curei recital in Ashe
ville and will spend a few days with
friends.

NOVEMBER:
The cold Novemer days are here,
With skies so jdull and gray.
The wind goes whistling thru the
trees
And blows the ieave# away.
The snow falls very fast sometimes.
We se^ icicles cold;
W[eMl slide on snow these nice cold
So merry and so l^id.
And out of snow wmike to make
A snow - man,*big aiid white;

On last Friday night a serious fi’’e
occurred at the residence of D P.
Moore near the depot.-
Early at night one of the boys was
asked to place an oil stove in the
bed room to warm it up for Mrs.
Moore’s Mother, Mrs. F. S. Starrett^.
The boys obeyed orders After
some time the room was discovered
to be on fire. By quick and thought
ful work the flames were soon extin-
gushed, but not until tht contents of
the room were destroyed.
Tho bedding and §11 other furnish
ings in the room were totally destroy
ed. It is not known how the fire
started; There was no explosion.
The burning mattress was carried
from the room and thrown out and
the fire in it supposed to be extin
guished, but late in the nigh it burst
out anew anj completely consumed.
There being-some PjTene near by is
what saved the resdence. ^
Three rooms were terribly black
ened by smoke, all of which h^d just
been remodeled.

Does Your Money Help
Your Community?
You who demand better streets, better
sidewalks, better police and fire prqtec-
tion—are you doing your part towards
such improvement? Not if you send
money out of town—money that would
. have just as much buying power
at home.
Every nickel you send away makes
your community so much poorer, for
the people who receive it do not re
invest it here. That money goes for
the development of another com
munity or city.
Patronize our home
merchants whenever
possible and you will
do one of your fore
most duties to your
community.

Norlh Carolina is rapidly becoming
a rival of Xentuclvy in the production
otf tobacco. The estimftes of the
Unitud States department of agricul
ture of the 1920 crop, made the first

year. The forecast also indicates a

WHAT TO DO FOR MEASLES
AND WHOOPING COUGH
The State Board of Health does
not pretend to have found any speci
fic for measles and whooping cough,
which kills so many babies. It does
know, as shown in thie October Health
Bulletin, how to make less likely
deaths from these diseasj^s.
The first thing is to avoid having
these dse^es. If measles is abroad ,
in the>community the order is to keep
even of scanty blessings”.
A PRAYER
“Almighty God, our Heavenly
Father, deign to look upon \js in this
hour with all Thy commpassionate ten
derness and love, turn not away Thy
Face; and withhold not Thy Holy
Spirit. Those who followed Thy Son
when He was upon earth, saw early
the need for a pentecostal season
that need is ours now.”
“Pour abundantly of Thyself upon
heart and life and land. Bless and
be with those who mould thought,
who shape public opinion, who lead
men, who teach the young; make
them to kn?)w Thee, and to be first
taught of Thee. Fo? the wise teach
er we ask, O God, at this time, and ih
this hour. Need there is for such at
all times, but surely nev§r more than
now. . Multiply such sftnong us, and

Kentucky is net in danger of losing

size of the North Carolina crop.
• Accsrding to t^.e estimates of the

tobaco crop fcr this year is expected
to be 442,431,COO ,pounds compared
with 456.500.000 pounds last year. But
North Carolina’s crop which in 1919

On Sunday afternoon, the burial
of the reinains of'Branch L. Glazen-
ier, deceased soldier, wa/s witnessed
by the largest throng ever gathered
for funeral tribute in Transylvania
County. More than six hundred
people from every section of the
county gathered around the Glazen-
' er Cemetary where Rev. C. E. Pttette
I attended the services of the yoyhg
j man who had so freely given up his
j life that those left behind might be
j far from harm. Rev. C. E. Puette
oiiered praise to this boy and others
that made the supreme sacrific.e, and
poured an abundance of high tribute
to America’s manhood that served in
the recent war Branch Glazener
was a private in the Engineers and
died with pneumonia at St. Nazaire,
France, on thg 24th day of March,
1918. Hfe was buried there on the
bank of the beautiful Loire river until
a time when the American Govern
ment could move his remains back
to the land from whence he came; —
back to his native land. That time
having come — with much criticism
from those that do not, and cannot,
kpow — the remains under armed
escort were sent to the valley
of tho Ffench Broad.
The war is over and the fastly
flowing tide of “joy - riders” is go
ing happily on, but some one, some
where can but recall the bitter
days that stung the soul o# man with
battle sore. There are many here
in this land of delight that can but
I praise God for the fact that they
were permitted to escape what ’this
young Glazener had to face. This
County is proud that some of her own
sons gave their lives that the princi
ples that were inculcated in this
making of a new regime might be
well established. Boyd Ross, Thomas
Turner, Monroe Wilson and -Branch
L. Glazener are the ones that gave
Transylvania’s quota. These men
should never be forgotten, if so it
would be a shame, for they have fol
lowed in the foot - steps of their fore-,
fathers and fought that American
Ideals should not perish and that ^e
FLAG should ever wave from the-
mas't of the Ship of State, unfurling,
as it were, its folds in a breeze of
untold satisfacton, and tellng to lAose
unborn that Americans can die for
what they think is right.
For young Glazener we can but
say that he has met the foe fearlessly
and has gone into the great Beyond
where the bugle call is supplanted by
Angel’s music, and where no rough
command can order him back to
ranks. To him we can say that
“Thou art precious to all mankind
for the things that thou has done”.
“Soldier, sleep, thy warfare is o’er.
Dream of battle - fields no more.
Sleep the sleep that knows no break
ing
Night or mom or time of waking”.

THE GLOOM CHASERS:
The boys of the Club entertained
the girls with an over - night trip to
Ceasar’s Head last Friday, Nov. 19th.
The party, chaperoned by Mrs. Brod-
ie and Miss Tyner, left to\^ about
five o’clock in a large truck,l|rriving
at the Hotel about seven o^clock
where supper had been prepared by
Messrs. Overton Erwin and Frank
King. After everyone had partaken
of the wonderful “feast”, the party
walked up to the Head to view the
scenery, which v/as beautiful in the
moon - light. Coming back to the
hotel, story - telling, corn - popping,
marshmeilow - toasting and several
interesting game^ were pla^'ed until
a late hour, when everyone, ,v/ith
nodding heads, and sleepy eyes, hud
dled into their blankets to sleep but
a short while, to be awakened by the
“cooks” next morning, announcing
that breakfast was ready. After
breakfast, the party hiked back to
the Head again, where several pic
tures were, taken of the surrounding
mountains as well as members of the
party. It was a tired, but happy
crowd that l^ft for home about
twelve o’clock Saturday morning, ar
riving in the city about Two o’clock.

Decidedly the happiest man herea
bouts s the Chief Executive of the
State, Governor Thos. W. Btck^t^
who will retire with a halo of glory
soon after the first of the year. His
excellency is bubbling over with joy'
because of unprecedented mkjority
rolled up for the Democracy at the
recent election, and exceedingly hap
py that the great tax program inaug
urated during his incumbency has
been endorsed at the polls by an
overwhelming vote. Most anybody
will tell you that Bickett has been
governor of all the ^people. The
rich, the poor, the learned and illit
erate alike have had a hearing in the
Governor’s office during the past four
years, regardless ol political affilia
tions. The record of accomplish
ment under the Bickett admii^stra-
«
tion has not been excelled since the
day Zebulon B. Vance wrested the
State government from its despoil
ers during the reconstruction period,
and the result of the late election is
viewed by democrats generally as a'
complete endorsement of ihe Bickett
program of constructive state - build
ing. He has shown himself a man
of action and vdll retire early next
year with the welcome plaudit “Well
done thou good and faithful servant.”
Governor Morrison comes “into
his own” with the largest majority
to his credit that any'aspirant for
the office has ever received. Today
it appears to l>^ around 80,000 and
the official canvass of the vote'^may
place it even higher than that. He,
too, is feeling fine, thank you, and
will assume the responsibilities of his
predecessor with hope and confidence
In Cameron Morrson, the people of
all classes and conditions will again
have a man who knows their needs
and one who will seek to serve them
faithfully and impartially. The con- ^
census of opinion here is that Gover
nor Morrison will prove to be one of
the strongest personalties who has
presided over the destinies of the
State in a great many years. It is
freely predicted that he will stand
“like an adamantine wall for a square
deal tor all.” He is pledged to a
program of genuine constructiveness
and will keep his word.
The fact of the business is the de
mocratic household here in North
Carolina is experiencing a season of
joy from the private in the ranks to
the highest in official station. The
late victory is indeed remarkable,
consdering the drift to republicanism
in other parts of the country. In
additon to the tremendous majority
for the state democratic ticket every
congressional district returns a de
mocrat to coi^ess.
The new tax program has a deci
sive majority to its credit and a sea
son of progress and prosperity is in
prospect of early reali^tion.
Governor Cox also finds comfort
in the election returns from North
Carolina. He in this State by
a majorty of 75,000, and probably
more. The people of this State be
lieve in President Wlson and favor
the League of Nations. They be
lieve in Governor Cox and adihire
his fighting qualities. It s strictly
an American victory in North Caro- ^
lina. There is no appreciable num
ber of hyphenates here and the'Ang
lo - Saxon opinion prevails. That
is the answer to the question for a
reason for the faith in Dem. express
sed by the people of this State at the
ballot box on the second day of Nov
ember. •
And wth a smile they will await
the next move on the political chess ^
board of this great union of states. '
