The Brevard Club will hold a “base I
ball ineetng” on Friday night, April
21. to decide whether or not Brevard'
is to have this attraction this season.
We are confident that everyone here
wants'a baseball club, but if we are
to have a pennant winning team, it
will take quite a bit of “jack” to run
it. Therefore it is really a question
of whether we are willing to put out
a little money or not. It seems a

to have spent so much money and

BREVARD BATTERY STATION
MATHATASIAN CLUB MEETING
Brevard motorists can now enjoy
the convenience of a battery station
here at home. Recently Mr. Walter
F. Hart has opened up an up-to-date
Willard Storage Battery Service Sta
tion at Jess Smith’s Garage on Main
St. Mr. Hart says that he is equip
ped to do any type of work on stor
age batteries and he emphasizes the
importance of car owners bringing
their batteries to him for free testing,
refilling with distilled water, etc. He
claims to be able to do as good bat-
te^ repair work as any station of
th’s kind in the South and we are in-
cliiiilLto accept his claim after hav-
his up-to-date equipment.

BREVARD BOY WITH OAK RIDGE

Joe Clayton, who was on the Bre
vard Basa Ball team last season is
now n^aying with the Oak Ridere Mili
tary Institute team. They will play
t”’0 gamec each with Oteen and Mars
Hill on May 1, 2, 3 and 4. Two
garx'.', to be played at Oteen and two
at Mars Hill.
Jo« has been playing such good
ball this season that he has received
sn offer from the nennant holder of
tho In'^ernntional League, the BaHi-
nore Orioles, to play shortstop v/ith
them.
The Mathatasian Club was pheasant
ly entertained by Mrs. Hugh "Walker
on Saturday afternoon. The subject
discusscd was, “Summer-bloomin'T
Flowers of Western N. C.” Mr~ H.
C. Ransom spoke on “Grasses,” Mrs.
Oliver Orr on “The Mints.” and Mis§
Martha Boswell gave a carefully pre
pared list of the summer bloomerjs
according to families and .spoke parti,
pularly on the orchids. She regretted]
tho fact that some of our wild flowers
were disanpearing around Brevard,
owing to the destruction of the plant
through the indiscriminate plucking,
and begged all the flower lovers to do
their best to protect them. The Club
voted to request the County Commis-
•sioners to retain the offices of Home
and Farm Demonstrators.

* -■ ■ I. ■■■ ' [same. If everybody will farm
i enounrh to, make his vegetables “hog
and hominy” thi^ year I will assure
you you will not hear so many howl
hard times. So let’s get busy and
encourage the farmers by giving
I them a big day; let it be a reunion-
a home coming day. About 75 per
cent of the population of the county
llive in the rural districts and about
150 per cent of the taxes.are paid by
(the farmers, so more an3 better farm
ling, better rural conditions, social
ly and economically would mean a
I great deal to the county as a whole.
IA good fair would help to develop
Ithese things. The" greatest benefit
jof a fair to the farmers is education-
lal. Farm products from all over the
jcounty are placed on exhibition and
[judged by men of experience. A
I farmer sees and learns why a beef
cow should be pure bred, blocky and
compact in type. On the other hand
he learns why a dairy cow should
have a “w^edge” shape and large
milk veins and many things that show
quality. He 1.5 told why an ear of
corn with straight, even rows, well
filled at each end, is more profitable
I than com selected at random from
Ithe crib at planting time, he leams
Iwhy potatoes of medium size, uni-
Iform and free from disease, are more
Iprofitable than potatoes carelessly
jcrown; he leams the difference in
Ifruit that ha.r; grown on well pruned
land sprayed trees. The farmer not
|only learns why these things are to
%arn but how to produce products
that are profitable. The man who
lakes money farming must think
ibout his business and have some
)lan ; he ought to know the kind of
jroducr.^ that his market will pay the
jest price for before he plants,
tmagine a merchant that does not
ftudy markets, keeps no books and
ike<5 no inventories.
Then ea^h farmer’s products are
kompared with those of his neighbor,
if a man fails to win first prize,
ke learns why and goes back home
ith a picture in his mind of a Jer-
ley cow, a Duroc hog or an ear of
lom that will win over everythincr
[n the county. Next year when he
roes to work to produce these thingp
ke will begin to investigate, read
fnd study, use his mind in various
probaMv ^evir attempted be-
pre. It is hard to put your finger
kn all the benefits that result from
k’ork of this kind because there is
|o definite way to ol^serve and meas
ure H; but the 'I'tricultural pro9TPs<!
jf the county can be obscured by
p'T»rr'ri-'cn. Now is tli' to bp«ri’i

Ralph R. Fisher, Brevard attorney
' will enter the Tenth district’*«ongres-
sional race as standard bearer of the
republican party and will file notice
of his candidacy with the state board

party since 1861, when the county
was formed from a portion of Jack
son and Henderson counties and hi
friends predict the first congression
al candidate from Transylvania wil
make a strong race in opposition t<

again seeks the democratic nomina
tion.
He is a comparatively young man
31 years of age and has during hi

interests of Brevard and is kno
throughout Western North Carolin;
as a “booster.”
Mr. Fisher has attended Mars Hil
college, later Furman university, S
Carolina, and Wake Forest college
where he prepared for the practice o:

as a resuU of having served for thre
years as a brakeman.on the Souther
rai'r'oad and for nine years workini
in various industries of the wester;
part of the state, preparing for th'
entry into*the world of business.
He is now a member of the legis
lature from Transylvania county, havl
ing won his seat over the democratic
opposition by a majority of 150 votes.
When the call to arms came during
he early stages of the world war, he
volunteered in 1917 and after-train
ing: in various camps, was transferred
ovor L'as, where he served for 19 and]
cnc-ha!f months.
Since the announcement in Th
tizen several weeks ago that L. L

has developed in who w^ould repre

the Vesper service Sunday night, in
the Institute auditorium. The theme
was. “The Life of Christ,” illustra
ted by anthems, songs and readings.
Beginning with the prophecies, fore
telling the birth and mission of Christ
the story showed how these prophe
cies were fulfilled, and led up to the
final scenes of the crucifixion and
ressurection. The ensemble work
was remarkably good and Miss Pike’s
rendering of “The Palms,” was very
effective. The program was planned
and rehearsed by Mr^. C. H. Trow
