Rdv. A. S. Raper goes to Confer-
«nce at High Point, October 19th;
leaving Brevard on Monday morning
October Kth.
Re has just closed a most excellent
year’s work at the Brevard Staten.
Thirty persons have been received
into the church this year.
The Sunday Schools have had a
most excellent attendance.
The enrollment has been greatly
enlarged.
The full quota was raised for chris
tian education and nearly $500.00
more than their allotment.
At .the same time the educational
campaign was on, a plan ''^'as begun
to raise money to build Simday
School rooms, and about $5000.00 is
now tabscribed for this much needed
enterprise, and soon they confidently
expect to be in adequate Sunday
school rooms.
The missioTiaTy societies ha^e done
well, and they will have a fine report
for conference^
AH in all the year has been a yea^
■f)f great activity in this cliurch and
all reports will siiow a substantial in
creasc. The best report ever is go
ing up to the annual conference.
Becatise of the health of Mrs. Rap
er, it will become necessary for the
pastor to seek lower altitude.
Her "health is greatly Improved
since going lower do'wn in Ihe state.
For this reason, and this alone, it
will be recessaxy f-or a new pastor to
come to this beautiful mountain town
next year.
The present pastor and his wife
regret that this move has become im
perative.
It is hoped that eld^r V/illis will be
returned to this district for his 4th
year-
The last services for this confer
ence year will be held at the Metho
dist Church, Sunday morning at 11 j
A. M., and 7:30 p. m., October 16th, |
1921.
You are cordially invited to be
present.
The Riverside Sanitarium has just
completed the installation of the best
water system'that a mddern hospital
could possibly have. In addition to
this electx^city has been connected
together with other minor improve
ments.
Dr. Stokes contemplates moving
the old building back from the pre
sent site in order that excavating can
be begun immediately for a hospital
that Transylvania will be proud of
for a great number of years to come.
It Is believed that work will be well
under way by early Spring for the
new institution.
The Riverside Sanitairium is lo
cated in Dunns Rock Township on the
banks of the French Broad River a-
bout one and one half miles from
what is known as Wilson’s bridge.
The Hospital w^as located there a-
bout three years ago in a small w^y,
and sincc that time has had unusual
rapid growth in patronage.
Hundreds of patients are enthus
iastic ®ver their recovery frem ser
ious diseases, due to the proper treat
ment and care by the members of the
hospital staff. Quite a few have :re-
covcfed from serious operations
which* was their only hope of ever
getting well again.
This institution has saTtd many a
patient a long, tiresome and perhaps
fatal journey to some other city hos
pital. It has brought within our
coT^ty noted surgeons of extraordin
ary ability wlio have become perman
ent citizens. It has meant a great
deal to our citizons in times/of great
pliysical affiiction.
The new sanitarium building,
wlien ccmple"6?a. will m^n a great
deal mere to the future citizens of
Transylvania than anything else con
templated for public improvement at
the present time. It will be of untold
value in the development to the
growth of this community.

Boost Your Booster!
Every one loves $ booster, but every one Is
not ready to bodst for his booster.
The booster is supposed to boost because he
likes to do it—and in a great me^ure that is so.
The greatest booster in history, however—
the home town paper—^must combine with the
natural liking for the boosting game, the re
wards the simplest rules of business requires
for the continuance of the boosting spirit.
The editor of your home town paper likes to
be appreciated just as you like to be appre
ciated. ;
And how better neay your appreciation be ex
pressed than by the amount of money that goes
through his cash register?
Every one in this town .and community will
have an opportunity to show appreciation for
the home town paper during the week of No*
vember 7-l2, which will^be observed in eyery
state in the Union as

Principally among the many im

was a proper observance of "Armis

The discussion as to the nature and
proper manner in which the day
should be observed was spirited as

made an interesting talk on the sub

of the day and what it means to us

A large numbe;r of students and
teachers went to Fruitland Monday
afternoon to witness the hall-game
between the Fruitland and B. I. team
which resulted in a victory of 8 to 6
for the B. I. team. There were two
truck-loads of' B. I. people and they
took their supper with them, coming
l)ack by moonlight. The weather
was perfect and every one considered
it the most enjoyable outing they
have^ had since pchr-c: opeiirru.

A NEAR FIRE
The tank in which workmen were
melting tar to be i^sed on the new
Picklesimer building caught fire
Tuesday afternoon and for a while
looked as if the result might be se
rious, but by the prompt response
of the fire department they soon had
it under control and the damage was
slight.
SOME SPECIALS FOR

“If you will put in new books,” a
townsman recently said, “I’ll come to
the Library — I’ve read everything
you have.”
Now, as this gentleman, we feel as

C. Library for the past two years,
we are asking the Nev^s for a little
space, hoping to bring to his atten
tion, and to the attention of other
friendly critics the fact that 365 vqI-
unins have been added to our shelves
3ince October, 1911).
Many of these books are not nev;

press, yet a good book is ever new

best.
However, during the past summer,

we purchased several volumns of the

kept U£ from purchasing twice as

latest and the very bast books en our
shelves; v/here they will be accessible

Correspondent Talks of Tobacco Tax
Rail way Sy Vacancies —^ New
Biemben. Other News.
Raleigh, N. C, October 10— The
S 'ate Board of Eqoalizntion in ses
sion here recently refused a rebate
to the American Tobacco Company
which had previously been protested
by the Commisionefg of Rockingham
county and dismissed the case. Hav
ing in the Durham controversey, the
tobacco company decided to try its
hand in Rockingham. In rendering
its opinion the > tax commisioners
made the point the Rockingham coun
ty case differed from the Durham
contention in tiie detail that the tax
had been paid on the leaf tobacco in
storage on the valuation placed upon
it by the old State Tax Commision,
without protest, whereas objection
had not been withdrawn in the Dur.
ham case. The talc was never paid
in Durham county, and ndw ‘excep-r
tions were denied by the Tax Com
mission. This, according to the At
torney general, kept the appeal s-
live and enabled the new Equaliza
tion Board to re-open the case and
grant a new hearing., Had the Rock
ingham properties been included in
its exception's in the Dnrhanm case
the rebate of several thousand dol
lars involved in the Rockingham ap--
plication would have been forthcom
ing. The law provides that protest
or request of payment must accom
pany payment of taxes within thirty
days after settlement and that suit
for recovery shall bd^gjarted within
ninety days. Having failed in this
requirment, the tobacco company
found itself outside the breastworks
in it j latest contention and made an
orderly retreat. i
* The railroad cases referred to in
this correspondence last week were
compromised temporarily, the com--
panieg agreeing to pay on a valuai-
tion fixed by them. Under the com
promise the counties, cities, towns,
schools districts, road districts
! and other taxing divisions
of the State will receive at once the
tax due them ag shown by the new
adjustment, without having to wait
until the issues finally determin
ed. The Southern Railway agreed
to pay t)n a valuation of $60 000,
000; the Atlantic Coast Line on "$34*
645, 345, and the Atlantic and Yad
kin on $1^975,905, which they claim
is a fair valuation of their property
in the -State. On this basis the Com
issioner of R-venue will certify to-
them the amount due and the same
