OUR RALEIGH LETTER:
I
Raleigh, N. C., February 7 — The
progressive program for future state
bvxilding, outlined by Governor Mor
rison ill his inaugural address and
later before a joint-session of the
joint-session of the General Assem
bly, was given three distinct boosts
during the past week and the indica
tions now are that the major portion
of his recommendations will find
their way to the statute books of the
State before the Legislature adjourns
First, came Mrs. George W. Van
derbilt on Wed. with an inter
esting and highly appropriate ad
dress before the joint-Assembly, in
which she said: “Our distinguished
governor has a splendid and far -
reaching Jtogram for road construc
tion, and I am sure most of us hear
tily endorse his plan, and wish to see
it carried through. It means, as we
ail know, the opening up of many

THE BREVARD CLUB:
•
The Brevard Club is an organiza
tion of the most progressive men of
our city for the purpose of further
ing the economic, business and social
life of our town. It occupies a suite
of rooms on the third floor of the Aud
itorium Building which include, pool
room, reading* room, parlor and din
ing room.
The reading room is furnished with
a great quantity and variety of ma^>
azines and the leading newspapers.
There is absolutely no gambling
allowed in the club and no lockers
are permitted. The writer has been
about the club rooms at all hours
and has never seen any conduct or
heard any word that would bring the
blush of shame to the inmates of any
of the best homes in our city.
The men v*'ho compose this club
<Io not call thetnselves a betterment
association, yet they are one and all
working for the betterment and pros
perity of Brevard and Transylvania
County. They may not all be church
members, yet they love their fellow
men and are working for the good of
the community.
