FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1922 WHAT BREVARD REAU.Y NEEDS No. 10 Sttggestions made (or Country Club Site, Golf Links, and Other Things V Brevard Needs, Could and Should Have: A site for a Country Club. A sub division for cottages to rent. A fair grounds and race track. A camping place for automobile parties and by all means Golf Links. Now is the time for immediate ac tion; wi have talked a long time about the necessity for Golf Links. Buy the land, establish the Golf Links and' all the rest will follow in due time, yes, in a short time. Have the Links laid off by an expert possessing a national reputation. I do not advance a new idea, we all know that all of the above is badly needed. No argument is necessary. We all know that we are, individually and collectively wasting our time, which is our lives. Losing money daily by neglecting to improve our vast opportunities, location, climate, scenery and good roads here and the good roads to come. The money? Form a joint stock com pany. I have good reasons to believe that to aid the movement that our banks will obtain a lump sum of say forty thousand dollars at a cheap in terest, perhaps five per cent, and on long time. Let each member of the stock com pany put in approved notes in bank, to make the desired sum, then the bank can get the money and loan to each individual, at a cheap inter cst. At five per cent it would cheaper to borrow than to use money on hand as that is worth eight per cent, a difference of three per cent saved. Another advantage of this plan is that all who wish to help their town and county and themselves, can ’•ot the money at once, if they do happen to have it on hand. We coulf’ look forward to having only to iia: the interest on the amount for a .i. time. To show that I am in earnest, and not “talking through my hat,” I will say that I will borrow from the sum above mentioned, five hundred dol lars, taking that much stock. With others doing the same, there are many who can subscribe many times this amount. C. W. HUNT. D.LENGLISHON CROWDED POm Says Election Board SlMuld Remedy Voting Conditions—Also Other Suggestions AN ANSWER TO OUR EDITORIAL ON THE POWER QUESTION My Dear Mr. Editor: Your remarks on the lighting sub ject in last weeks p^er were all one could wish for, except for one weak spot, the engine that you spoke of, unfortunately can only do duty in one place at a time. Your faith in a better lighting system, must be a great comfort but we women, judg ing from past experience have no such faith. What v/e want, is to know we are to have lights. I can tell you Mr. Editor, we surely have our hands full when we are expected to feed the summer guest so high as to make them indifferent to out-side amuse ments or the comforts of lights. ALDERMEN MEET The City Council met on 'Monday night for their regular monthly meet ing. Considerable discussion took' place over the gasoline tank recently erected by J. S. Bromfield, our fel low townsman, F. E. B. Jenkins claim ing the tank dangerous. The matter will be referred to the State Insur ance Inspector. The work on laying the sewer lines on East Main St. and Broad Street is to be started at once. One hundred dollars was appro priated to the advertising fund. It was decided to build a sidewalk in front of the school buildings dur ing the holidays. The question of a municipal swim ming pool was left for further discus sion as a new intake is being install ed on the water main. While this will increase the flow it is not known whether it will be sufficient to sup port a small lake or pool. It was also decided to clean up the town and enforce the ordinances against unsanitary conditions. Editor Brevard News Dear Sir:— I notice from the political announ cements in your last issue that the interest in our next election is be ginning to show and I desire to rati fy what someone said in your last issue in regard to the political parties selecting their best material to fill the offices, in fact, no one should be nominated for office except such a one as is competent, honest and trust worthy, and any party that puts out nominees that do not come up to such requirements are injuring such par ty. I do not consider it amiss at this time to make some suggestions as r tax payer, that should, in my judge ment, receive immediate attention from the County Board of Elections and it is entirely within their power and discretion to remedy the situa tion we had tw^o years ago, and if they do not do so and conditions ex ist next election that existed in No vember 1920, the Election Board should be held responsible for the same. I refer to the crowded cor tions that existed at our voting place for Brevard Township in 1920 and the make-shift booths that we had at that time, especially as affecting the lady vote^rs. I therefore, make the following suggestions, that is, that Brevard Township should be divided into two voting precincts, one at Bre vard and one at Pisgah Forest, and there are other townships that s-’ be so divided up that the exercise of the franchise would not be a burden upon the voters. Boyd Township should be cut into two precincts with a voting place about <’’• p.t Ta.1- ly’s stop?, or as :;ear the center of that section a:? possible, and anoti' votinpr prc'’inc‘ about the top of Lit- the Mountain so as |o accommodate the people of upper Glade Creek, Turkey Creelc and Boylston. Hog back Township should also be divided into two precincts, one located in the vicinity of McNeely’s store or the de pot and another back toward the Bo hemian sed^n. Gloucester Town ship should also be divided into two precincts for voting places with a voting place in the Shoal Creek sec tion and another about Vance Gallo way’s or somewhere in that neigh borhood. Cathey’s Creek, Eastatoe, and Little Biver have been hereto fore divided and those divisions have proved a great convenience to the people of the Township. To make these divisions the same must be done, in order to give ample time and public notice to the citizens affected and ample opportunity to the citizens of the precincts to have their names transferred upon tjie reg istration books or new registration provided and our Couny Board of Elections should immediately^ take these matters in hand and put into operation the necessary machinery to bring about such changes as are needed so that the citizenship of our County can have reasonable facilities to express their wishes by the bal lot upon any and all issues that ma: be submitted to tihem as well as s and express their wishes as to who should represent them in the various offices in the townships, County, State and Nation. These suggestions are made with the view that our women of the County may be placed so that they can exercise the franchise with out unnecessary hardshpis.

BREVARD TANNIN COMPANY TO OPEN WELCOME TO BREVARD The citizens of Transylvania County will be honored by having: with them at an early ^ date a number of the represei:tative citizens of Greenville, S. Ct who will come break bread with us and to celebrate the great victory in the final financing of the Jones Gap Road* If there was ever any Une of demarcation between North and South Carolina along the Transylvania and Greenville Cpunty Unes^ the same is entirely obliterated by this last link in what will prove a golden chain which binds Brevard and Greenville one to the other—inseparably and eternally—and which gives to the thriving city of Greenville the most wonderful and attractive suburb in all the mountains of Western North Carolina—namely Brevard. It will be a most auspicious occasion, and the union of these two communities will result in bounti ful benefits to both* May this be the beginning of many similar occa sions. May the imaginary line between the Caro- linas be crossed by a well-kept highway so that none may know where said line is even supposed to be. Again we welcome these good citizens of Green ville who have fought most valiantly and successfully for many years to build this road to our^town and county. LIBRARIAN’S REPORT. U. D. C.

OUTLINE EXTENSION WORK TEN REASONS WHY The Brevard Tannin Company of Pisgah Forest will resume the manu facture of tanning extract within the next -wee^ or so. They have been partly closed down since the first of December owing to the business de pression, and also having on Decem ber first all of their available storage capacity filled with, the manufactured product, this product however has now all been marketed, and it is hoped that when they start to run ning again that business will be such that they can keep at it continuols- ly. This will mean much to Transyl vania County as it releases a large nayroll twice a month as well as large payments for wood used in the OT>eration. BREVARD GOOD ROADS BOOST.

ED PATTON FOR TREASURER T. E. Patton, Jr., familiarly known as has been announced as a can didate for County Treasurer in tjie coming Democratic Primaiy by many friends.

Be sure tc dust your sitting hens when you set them, and positively three days be fore hatching. Allow the chicks to pick around on coarse sharp sand be fore giving them any digestible food Their first food may contain hard boiled eggs, johnny cake, stale bread, oat meal, or rolled oats, which feeds or combinations may be used wit! good results. Mashes mixed with milk are excellent to give them a good start, but must be fed in a crumbly state and never in a sloppy condition. Feed a little at the time and several times a day. Feed just what will be eaten each time, never allowing any to lay around and be come sour. Keep a supply of fresh clean water before them at all times Do tliese things and your chickens will grow off nicely. A. G. OLIVER, Poul try Clubs for North Carolina. Our Citizens are wondering why the contract was not let, for the road between Brevard and Rosman, by the State, while the other contracts were put out recently. Greenville newspapers. The party plans to leave Green ville not later than 8:30 o’clock ir the morning and arrives in Brevard at 12:30, giving a half-hour to g«>t ready for the one o’clock luncheon and fellowship meeting. Leavin/? Brevard at 3:80 or 4 olHock thi* party will arrive in Greenville before dark, in order that none of those whose wives are not in the habit of trusting them so far from home may cause ai)y undue concern about themselves. ’ v Each Brevard citizen who orders a plate is expected to pay two dol lars and those who cannot attend are requested to donate one dollar. This is simply to pay expenses as the Greenville delegation will be our invited guests and Brevard has never failed in hospitality. Quite a num ber of ^citizens have already donat ed and ,those who are so inclined will please leave same with either President S. M. MacFie or Secretary Wm. A. Band.

Snell, director of the University extension division, of the University of North Carolina spent Saturday, March 4, in town conferr ing with officials of various organiza tions and informing them of the ser vice offered the people of the state through the extension division. While in the city Mr. Snell stated that he was deeply impressed with the pro gressive way, in which problems of community betterment were being handled and was astonished at the remarkable county paper published. “While but few people from this community are fortunate enough to be able to attend the university” said Mr. Snell, “everyone can obtain some of the university’s advantages for instruction and culture through its extension division. The' univer sity has something worth while to of fer every individual, no matter in what walk of life. For instance, en rolled iu regular university courses by correspondence we finfl teachers, farmers, housekeepers, clerks, law yers, bookkeepers, ranchers, business men, etc. Through this and twelve other bureaus of the extension div sion we are moving the universit^r to every community in the state.” As a state institution, the Universi / ty of North Caroilina belongs to every body in this state and everyone has a right to demand some service from it. The university has set itself the task of becoming what the citizens of North Carolina concerned with the up-building of the state have wanted it to be,—a great clearing house for the social, civic, industrial and econo mic dev^opment of evei^ communi ty. It is becoming this largely thru the fact that it is developing its ex tension division as the channel thru which some of the university’s influ ence, instruction and culture flows to< - the people. Almost every tmiversity in the United States has an extension organization. The ej^tension division of our university is functioning ef ficiently and is the foremost organi- ^ zation of its kind in the south. It - constantly launching out into new fields, seeking to become a more vital factor in the progress of our common: wealth. The thirteen different bureaus or lines of service offered by the univer sity extension division are outlined in brief, as follows: I. Correspondence and Class Instruc- Write for correspondence tnDeUn. ^ * II. Lectures.^ Write for Lecture bulletin. III. Short Courses and Institutes. IV. Public Discussion. Write for bulletins. V. Community Drama. Services of a field agent available. VI. Commercial and Industrial Re- ‘ lations. ^ VII. Community Music. Write for bulletins. VIII. Municipal Information and Research. IX. Economic and Social Surveys. X. Community Development. Ser vices of a field agent available. XI. High School Debating and Athletics. XII. Design and Improvement of School Grounds. Services of a field agent available. XIII. Educational Information and assistance. For educational ad vice and assistance write directly to the School of Educr>tion, or to the extension Division. For any additior ..' information on any of the above .ubjects write to the University Extension Service. REV. MR. HAY DECLINES PA3. TORATE AT CHESTER. Chester, S. C., March 4th.—^The Lowryville and Uriel Presbyterian churches, v;hich recently called the Rev. John R. Hay, pastor of the Pres- bsrterian church at Brevard, N.
