VOLU|iE XXVI. BREVARD, N. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1921 N». 44 THE PENROSE CO-GflP. CHEESE CO. HAS REORGANIZED, ADOP- jJ'ED A NEW NAME AND OPEN- "^D ITS DOORS TO RECEIVE MILK FRIDAY, NOV. 4tli, 1921. ^he Penrose Co-Op. Cheese Co.. started making cheese Friday, Nov ember 4 and wiU in the ftiture be known as the Prfench Broad Co-op. Cheese Co. C. P. Woodfln, C. V. Shufford, J. M. Talley and R. S. Boyd are the stock holders. W. L. Talley, President; R. S. Boyd, Cheese Maker, Secretary and Treasure®. J. W. Lindley, Farm Agent has spent sev eral days in the faist two months visit ing farmers for the interest of the cheese factory and has worked up considerable interest among the far mers who wish to engage in dairying. H. L. Wilson of U. S. Department of Agriculture and State Department spent considerable time with Mr. Lin dley while working on this project. The cheese industry in North Caro lina is growing but will make more progress in the future. In Penrose we have a good farm ers co-op. cheese factory, a good mak cr and good management. This can be had in any section of the country, but we have natural surroundings and conditions here in Western North Carolina that no other section of the country can have. That is, good cold, pure running spring water and cool nights in the warmest weather. This nffords the producer the oppor tunity to produce an excellent qual ity of milk. With this, the cheese maker can be held responsible for ar excellent quality of cheese. The writer has talked with cheese buyers and cheese lovers from the far south states and he finds that they don’t even know that cheese if being made in North Carolina. The consumers say that the best and a- bont the only cheese that can be pur chased in the South which one car depend on in New York State cheesc and it seHs ahout 10c per pound a- bovc ether brands. We will admit that New York makes good cheese, but no better than what is being made in North Carolina. The trouble is this. North Carolina has not been en gaged in the cheese industry but a short time. The output is so small that only a few of the North Caro linians know that as good cheese, and I believe more uniform cheese as can be made any place is being made in North Carolina. What we need is more dairy cows and more milk. To accomplish this we must interest the farmer by show ing him that the dairy business will pay him good returns on his invest ment. During the war exorbatant price? were paid for dairy products. Nov that we are getting back to norma' times it seems like the net amount paid the producer is terribly small However, when we get down to fig ures they will show that selliifg milk to the cheeke factory is more profit able to the rural farmer. The French Broad Cheese Factory will be run strictly on co-operative basis. Each patron sharing equal in profits and losses. A complete statement of the factory will be is sued each month to every patron of the factory. H. L. WILSON.

Max—Smith’s speech on prohibition was fin«, wasn’t It? Pax—Yes, he can always make a dry fnibject interesting.—JudgCv I am lingering still with the old campmeeting, because of the deep in terest our fathers felt in it. It was deemed a kind of pillar in the reli gious world—there many a new life began, the return of the backslider ind the confirmation of the faithful. L remember when a small boy Mrs. 0. L. Erwin on her way home from one of these gatherings joyously jelling my mother of the conversion of her brother, Lu, (L. S. Gash) Such messages of conversion, recla- iTiation and wonderful individual or ]'encral rapturous demon(|trations vvent out in every direction from ?very meeting. It could not have been dtherwise, the meetings were ex clusively devotional and the partici- oants were of one mind and in ac cord. ! F In the old. form, the camp-meet- ’ngs are gone but the influences they put in motion are still floating down the current of time. During the war | and the immediate 'years following j the institution was dormant, not | dead. Like the Lost Cause is yielded to outside reverses but smoldered under mental depressions and social restraint. From the days of the He^ brew Passover and the Grecian Olym pics men have deirded periodic re-| unions. There still remained in the southern heart a yearning for the' u'ed to-bc. Now and then as the re-^ adjustment -of southern conditions | began to take root accounts were seen in the newspapers of informal conferances being held with the view' of reconstructing or rather reinsta-| ting old industrial and business en terprises. Soon the religiously in-j dined began to talk and write of the practicability of resussitating the old regime. But one effort to renew Davidson River camp-meeting was made. The ranks of the old support ers were so depleted and the sur roundings so changed as to discour age further efforts. In fact, the in vasion of the decreasing ranks of the old workers by a conftantly increas ing new element “that knew not Joseph” as to make the old methods unworkable. Isolation is unpleasant and indicates jrestlesness and looks around for ways o^ escape. Small improvised conferences looking to this end ensued. ’ The joy of fellow ship and co-working gave momentum to the original scheme as to7 expand iato the present day assemblies. There is nothing more tangible in southern reconstruction than the transformation of the old camp-meet ing into the summer meeting^s of t»- day — the camp-meeting amplified and modernized. Thus, Davidson River unpretentious with circumscri bed support and influence is embrac ed in junaluska with boundless re sources, Boiling Spring in Ridgecrest and Weaverville in Montreat. In stead of rough canopies we have im posing auditoriums, elegant bunga lows take the place of pole-tents and commodious hosteries the place of brush awning mess-nalls. The photograph of the old camp- meeting compared with its picture of present day development reminds one of the picture of a boy compared with that of his manhood — the boy ish lineaments are faintly discemable in his enlarged self. So it is with the dear old camp-meeting; it can scarcely recognize itself in its man hood attainments of to-day. In its first picture are the outlines of a simple folk, attentive to a simple gospel presented in a simple way. Nothing is thought of in these sum mer meetings but devotion and evan gelism. Nothing is done that does not contribute to this eijd. The ob ject is soul-saving only. Service is regarded as a spontaneous outcome of saving grace. Success in present ing the truth varies according to the personal gnd individuality of the min istry, other things being 6qual. Church organization was a'so simple, conforming to respective denomina tional usage only; yet without legal or eccleseastical form, w^ithout State, county or church fuiids charity is dispensed in kind needed. Orphans are placed in homes that they may feel the warmth of family ties. The sick man's crop is planted, plowed, hoed or harvested as the season may require. The sick are tenderly wat ched, stimulated with herb teas cr soothed with bark poultices. Hos pitality is unalloyed; to charge a stranger for a night’s lodging borders on nigardliness. In a word, service is not considered mandatory nor ren dered from a sense of duty. It is an outflow of renewed grace within. The enlarged picture of Christian effott 5s it has developed through the last eight or ten decades is before us in its actuality. It is seen as it is to day. The copy from which it came has faded out of view. Only the janu3 eyes of' an—octogenerian can see both. Many of the prom inent lineaments of the former are dimly traceable in the latter, he l^nks, and that the sole relance on the power of the spirit and word to save and control is waning. In the material world the word is, forward; but in the religious it seems the time is come to stop, look, listen, back to the word. The task to be done and done by this^generation is immeasur able. When the eye of our faith scans the field and takes in its stup endousness the mind is overawed and covers with the feeling: Impossible, And so it is. Nothing short of the sword of Jehovah and of Gideon will produce a flight. Take the sword of the spirit which is the word of God and all things become possible, easy. J. M. H4MLIN BREVARD INSTITIITE NOTES. A very interesting entertainment was given at the Auditorium Satur day night, consisting of “Living Pictures,” posed by members of the faculty and students.

Children sometimes teach us lessons we would, do well to 'reinemb^. There is a story of a boy whose prayer was brought to a sudden pause by his con science which impelled him to run. away and undo a bit of malicious mischief before he could go on with it. “if I should die *fore I wake,’* said Donny, knelling at his grand mother’s knee, “If I die 'fore I wake’*' “I pray,” prompted the grand mother’s gentle voice, “Go on Don ny.” “Wait a minute,” said the small boy scrambling to his feet and hurry ing away down stairs. In a little while he was back again and droi>- ping on his knees, took up the prayer where he had left off. “If I should die ’fore I wake, I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take. When the little white gowned form was tucked away in bed, the grandmother asked the boy why he had so rudely run away in the midst of his prayer. You surely did not think or you would not have done it. “But I did think, grandmother, and that is why I had to stop. You see I’d upset Teddy’s menagere and stood all his wooden soldiers on their heads, just to see how he’d tear a- round in the morning. But if I should die 'fore I wake—^why I did n’t want Ted to find them that way, So I had to go down and fix them all right before I could finish my pray er. There’s lots of things that seem funny, if you’re going to keep on living, but you don’t want ’em if you should die ’fore you wake.” “That Ws. right, dear, it was right,” commended the grandmother with a tender quiver in her voice. ,“A good many^ of qur prayers-would considerable amount of ®ot be hur*!'i>y stopping in tthe mid- informajion about violators of the Prohibition Law is in the hands -of the Executive Committee. It is being held for confirmation, or for the proper moment to use it. Mr. Seagle moved the investigation of the feasibility of enlarging the boun- dry of activities of the League to cover the county, and the appoint ment on the Executive Committee of a suitable man from each town- chip. After diiscussion the motion was carried. , Mr. J. A. Galloway expained the difference between the State and Fe deral Laws governing the amount of whiskey one is permitted to have i« ms possesion, and suggested that the Deaver Law be re-enacted for Tran ylvania county. This forbade ahy.* one to have any whiskey at any time. On motion it was resolved that a pe tition be circulated asking the Legis lature to restore the law. Mr. Gal loway congratulated Mr. J. L. Osteen ' ^ his record for the firsfr month of his service as Federal Revenue Offi- destroyed eighteen dis tilleries, arrested eleven men and confiscated two automobiles. In ack nowledgement of this endorsemnt Mr. Osteen claimed that the credit largely belonged to Mr. Galloway for Lis hearty cooperation and for his work as Revenue Officer in the pre- ceeding administration. Mr. Osteen promised a fair treatment to all, and r.n earnest, persistent effort to en force the law, but urged that all who -re interested in the enforcement of -ie law call on him whenever they I now of work he ought to do. He ttescribed vividly a recent raid in v/hich he and a posse of men had crrested five men near the Tennes- cee line. The secretary was instructed to y/rite Governor Morrison commend- *ng his stand in the Harris case in that he refused to sub-ordinate the law and courts of the state to his pardoning power. The secretary was also ordered to write to Judge Shaw commending his position in regard to violators of the Prohibition Law, particularly the frequency with which he places road sentences for its violation. The League endorsed Revenue Officer Osteen, and promi sed to back him in his activities. Miss Hannah M. Rhett of Charleston S.

It might stop the easy flow, of our words, sometimes, while we go out to get something right which we see in God’s presence to be wrong. But it would save us from some of the mockeries ©f prayer which now was our worship. ‘ A PRAYER Our father: bless us in all our re- latiocs with our fellows. Grant that we may never add to the sin and sad- ' ness of the Hi-orld, never add to the burdens that lie heavy on other souls, never offend one of Thy little ones, whose angels always behold Thy face. Save us from all pride and envy and jealousy, from a bitter and uncharitable temper, from in considerate and selfish deeds. En able us to give a smile instead of a frown; a cheerful kindly word in stead of harshness and coldness. Let our dealings with al] men good and bad alike, be simple and accord ing to the way of Christ. May we love the sinner, even while we condemn his sin. Forgive us that we hav|»5often rejoiced at the misforj:)2ne oY the transgressor, and that we may hcnceforth greatly pity him, and gently turn his thoughts to goodness and to Thee. 0 God, these tasks seem hard to us but with Thee all things are possible. Supply to.us the strength that we need according to the riches of Thy Grace in glory by Christ Jesus. Amen. C. b. C.
