Address All Communications To The BreTaVd News: Foreign Adveitising Reprr^entative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION ^FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1921. THE CYCLONE STRIKES. It has been predicted, and it came at the appointed hour. And after It had passed there wasn’t the least doubt in anybody’s mind about its being a cyclone. They certainly gave him the right nickname when they called him ‘‘Cyclone Mack”. He comes like a storm, looks like a terrible cloud, and when he goes into action he moves in o whirl and his words pour out in a turbulent torrent of — not absolute English, perhaps — but absolutely understandable American. And this torrent of whirling words all revolves about one central idea. It w’as a kind of picnic occasion when Cyclone Mack was here. Folks of all sorts and conditions in their men tal make-up were on the square. A baselball game was scheduled to fol low the address. Everything had the appearance — except the weath- — of a gala d-ay or a big politi cal meeting. But the speaker never forgot for a minute what his main business was and what he had travel ed up here for. He said, “I will preach a sermon”, and a sermon he preached. To that great business he seemed to have devoted every ounce of his cyclonic energy. Whatever may be said of the evan gelist and his methods, it is certain that his message is disseminated far and wide and the essential truth it is borne to many minds. in FUN FOR THE FANS: tJndoubtedly, the Brevard baseball team is making a record this summer to be proud of. Five games have been played already, and only one lost. It is too early in the season jret to predict the course of events, . but the signs are good for some very fa.st playing with Brevord’s credit .sheet well filled. ’ The games are affording plenty of iun for everyone here. Business Ytien can well afford the time spent in a diversion that makes them tem porarily forget all their petty cares, especially when that recreation is an expenditure of energy in urging on their town’s representatives in a friendly contest, ) Baseball in Transylvania is the one thing that ,makes everyone forgtet "his politics, etc. We note with a goad deal of alarm some of our most -sedate and older citizens who are finding it convenient to have business in Hendersonville or wherever the home team happens to be playing. : A Hendersonville correspondent to the Asheville Citizen remarked that a number of Brevard people motored "UP” to Hendersonville to see the ball game.

ICvanston, HI.—‘"Come to the eoni«r of Central and Bighth streets T shrieked a woman's voice over the telephone to Wilmette police head quarters. **There’s a mysterious black autom<^ile standing there and I think there are bandits in it!" Grabbhig shotguns and pistols, the Wilmette bandit squad jumped into a quivering and rushed to _ the intersection named. There, sure ^nough, was the mysterious black car, standing silent and forbldingly beside the cuib. Its headlights dark* ened. Women who had come to the sc«ie screamed as the cops, shotguns III n The Fllver in Hot Pursuit. hand, stepped from the fllv and stole cautiously toward the car. All about j was an air of impendini; tragedy. i Suddenly the machine headlights i blazed. The feminine shn’«ks re-1 doubied. Then tiie car shot I’arward I and tore down Sherfdan road, with | the fliv hot in pursuit. I A few moments later pedestrians? in ' Davis street, Evanston, dodged into I near-by stores whon both machines | came furiously charging into Foim-1 tain square. The mysterious ear halt- i ed abrui^Tly beside the fountain and the fliv squad members, leaping out, covered the driver with/tbeir artillerj’. “Who are you?” they demanded, showing their stars. “Gor-h, what a relief!” sighed the driver of the black car. “I’m .Tack Friedman, an Bvanston auto .salesman, and I was just taking my machfnfl' out for a demonstration. I thoughfi you were bandits.” Tableau. The only trouble about having rest seats around town is that the new comers in this climate don’t want to jest. They would explode with the pent up energy generated here. A party of girls was very much at tracted by the little bear and didn’t seem to fea|r it in the least. But that is easiljr understood, when one remembers tile bear’s aptitude for embrmcinf. Tests Love by Carving Initials on Her Chest Paris, HI—^A story that has shocked the community came to light by the ia^st of Glenn Forsman, a farmer, living near here. A young man* named Jack Rogers and his wife occupied a house on the Forsman farm. The landlord became infatuated with the woman. With threats of death he drove the husband from the place and, lacking the wife in a roote, held her pris oner for sfevei^l days. Becoming enrag;^d at her for some cause, he carved tlie let ters, “6. F.” on her breast. Forsman was arrested and brought to the city, where he is held under heavy bends. A lit tle later Mrs. Rogers was found and brought to the city by Sheriff Sisonmore. Feeling was aroused which for a time seemed to threaten a lynching. Mrs. Rogers, who is nineteen, says Forsman told her he sought to “test her love fof him.” She says she was given an al ternative of the carving knife or the branding iron. The initial “0" was carved one day and the '-litial “F” the next. Both were leeply cut and more than two ^>"ches high. TOWED BOAT .

' / f ? y I am now talking of that tieinous anti-leaf burning law. a If such grand men as General Wade Hampton and his brpther, Col. Kit; Col. J. H. Alley, John A. Zachary, Major W. H. Bryson, Logan Allison, S. W. Reid, Jaines ^her, John Owen and a host of others, all now gone to their eternal rest,^ can be believed, who were either contmparary or close followers of the first League of Nat ions, the Cherokee « Indian, ell say the Indian burnt the leaves all over the mountains just as soon as they Would bum in the Fall, before the wind piled up the leaves in hollows and against trees. They burnt the leaves to kill the little **wiggles”, as they called the worm in the chestnut and oak mast, and keep open the woods so as to see, and let the timber grow, also the grass. Let the first settler’s children tell I you of the beauties of the mountain verdure; its magnificent trees, poplar Oak, etc., all as sound as the Heart of Truth; the woods clothed in grass, peavine, flower and medical plants. You could" ride on horseback all over the woods, see a deer 3 to 500 yards away—even in the writer’s first days here it, was thus. What a grand thing it was to camp out over night on Mt. Toxaway or Mount White Sides after a grand supper preluded by a crisp fried, nicely salted speckled beauty and closely followed. by squirrel and pheasant browned to perfection, ban nock light and fluffy as my sweet heart’s hair, good old colFee, then j; smoke, and see the Orb of Day sink ing in the west behind that high pin nacle, throwing its silhouette at your feet, and almost at the same moment, in the far, far east, as if coming up out of the sea, first a strong light, then a cresent larger and larger until tiie full moon, the qifeen of the night, rises higher and higher in its path o’er head, a fair sultana in all splendor. Or be it in the hush of the dark of the m e on when “silence reigns sup reme'*, see the Stars come up one af-. tr the other, out of the dark East or Hash out over head like glittering dia monds in the sky, then comes the great galaxy, stretched across the sky like a' band of silver binding the Heaveris together. It truly makes one feel to the very core of his heart the trenrfi of Neasier My God to Thee. Oh, mercy me, what is it now? So dense are the thickets one has to break his neck to see the Heavens. No longer can one ride ®n horse back — yea» worse than that, it takes an agile, well-greased black snake, to crawl through the Jungle. Here is not like the north and west and Canada — where the turf when dry bums and bums, on and on, un til it burns out — The turf never hums here (we have none) asd the fires in early Fall when the sap is dewn does good in killing those in sects if left alone to breed in leaf fiBih and thicket.

When that pallid specter Influenza threw its black pestilence, over our fair land — when the mismata fell from her cadaveroas out stretieiied hanii in drops of death; «ai almost every head. . ,, , , When 80,000 of our' dear* Boys flrfl befcxe h;, and in silence, forfever, went in single file to their field of Fland ers, where the poppies blow, between the crosses row On row. When train loads dead moved over our rail roads, wit!iin« l|fe on except the solemn-faced tram men. When coffins could nat.be m^e to equal the death. When* sonte were put to rest in a shroud, like in the burial of Sir John Moxjrre’ fin silence we buxied him. When the dead, dearta? many were put i^ out houses, in fear of contag- ion.r when the musky odor of death prevaded our land, bringing awe and fear to all, it was a&aost /let the dead bocy tlie dead**.. Many, many w%o had left their God, now come with a jntious wail back to Him. li^n, ye anti-leaf bumeirs, for it was then, as if im^ration, the woiAi went out to vaar moantain boys, Cetd Hess them, t® bnzn the woods r bum thein in patc&ea^ choke the chinas neys — make smoke and now as if 1^ ordination the whole poods shot up in flames for miles, and iniles, our wocid looked « carpet of fire and the smoke han^ over us thick and dense, and it was then, the black death folded^up its wings and left, as if by its magie. Influenza was no more ,and smiles come on the face of all. (To be cr the spirit of mere man. It sort of makes the fel low with the suspicious air realise that ‘*A11 Men are Equal In the sight of God”.

I Talks About Building RED BUS ANNOUNCEMENT: Owing to lack of patronage we will discontinue our Brevard run on 5’riday, June 24 th, 1921. - ££D,£USLI]», Lumber prices are delated. Lumber, the'last great commodity to advance in price, has been the first to come back to normal basis. While lumber constitutes less than 30 per cent of the cost 9f the average frame house, these reductions mean an important saving in building costs. ' Building labor is more efficient. A reduction in the wage scale is less important than a full day's work fc»r a
