gave its very novel Class Day Exer
cises wliich was an original play,
“Now and Then” written by the se

High School. This play was an at
tractive comedy-drama of Irisli life
xnd was pronounced the best ever
driven. The different characters were
'exceptionally well portrayed and
•j»t»c:e decorations, costumes, etc.,,
fitted the play exactly. The atten
dance was very large and quite a;
nice sum wag Tealized, which will be _
rsed next year 'for the benefit of,
'the school.

Raleigh, N. C., May 27
News reached this city
that four men were killed at Fort
Brag on Thursday as the result of
a premature shell explosion during
the target practice. One of the dead
is private Alonzo Morgan, son of Otis
J. Morgan, Blantyre, Transylvania
County. Three others were serious
ly injured, one of whom was Capt.
M. A. Dawson.
Cause of the accident which occur-
ed on the firing range during ta^et 1
practice, had not been determined
at this writing. A military investi
gation is in progress, but no official
information touching the cause of
the accident until this has been con
cluded. It is understood, however,
that a sbrapnel projectile, which is
beleived to have been defective, fell
short in range, striking a tree,^ri-
choeted to the ground and exploded.
The shell was fired froni a 75 mili-
meter gun and the accident occured
about ten o’clock Thursday morning.
The artillery officers claim it was en
tirely unavoidable so far as they are
concerned.
A number of officers and enlisted
men were in close proximately to the
spot when the missle came down
in its premature fall anl many nar
row escapes were reported. The ex
plosion is said to have scattered frag
ments^ of shrapnel for many yards
in every direction. Today the au
thorities of Fort Brag had heen un-
•'ble to account for the tra^c mishap,
hap.
Private Morgan has many relatives
in Henderson and Transylvania coun
ties who win be grieved to hear of
his untimely death. Kis mother who
was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
l^nk Shipman 'of Blantinre died a
little more than a year ago at the
Patton Memorial ITispital, Hender
sonville. Only -a few months previous
an elder brother, Clyde Morgan, met
almost instant death when the motor
truck he was driving in Spartanburg
colided with a Southern Rail-way
freight tram.
NEW EQUIPMENT FOR
SOUTHERN RY. SYSTEM
That it may continue adequately
to **Serve the 'South,” Southern Rail-
■way System has recently placed or
ders fpr ilew equipment consisting
of 20 locomotives, 5,390 fregiht cars
of steel contsruction, 500 automobile
cars of steel contsruction. 100 steel
opssenger cars, and 250 caboose cars
of steel Tinderframe construction.
The magnitude of the order can
better be appreciated when it ig real
ize that if it were nossible to place
the freight car equipment in one
train it would be 47 miles from the
engine to the caboose. It broken -jo
into trains of an average length, it
wou’d -comprise 250 freight trains,
or one train everv 1 1-2 miles ^rom
Wps^hington to Atlanta.
The new passenarer cars, if coupled
into one train, would be a mile -'jrd
a half in length from the engine to
the rear coach, and represent 9.0
tra»ns of the average length. The
coaches are of the latest design and
ar" of all step’ contsruction.
In placing this laree order for new
eouipment, which will be delivered
in time for the fall business, thp Som-
thern has deironstrated its faith ''n

HENDERSONVILLE, May 30 —
The Garren Tonic, Inc., completed
its organization in a recent meeting
at which the new charter of the >iew
company was read, officers and direct
ors appointed and plans made for
the firm to begin active operations.
The officer personal of the new
company, which ig the successor to
the Asheville Medicine company, now
insolvent, is as follows: R. M.Oates,
president; Colonel C. C. Hodges, Bre
vard, vice-president; W. F. Penny,

F. Wetmur, H. M. King, B. F. By
ers, Mrs. L. M. Colt, Colonel C. C.
Hodges, R. M. ates. W. A. Garren,
discoverer of the tonics sold by the
firm, is manager in charge of the
business.
The assembled stockholders, who
were 37 strong decided to buy a car
for “Doctor Bob” Robards and place
him on the road at an early date
as representative of the company.
Mr. Robards was the star salesman
for the former Asheville Medicine
company, and he hag refused sever
al positions with medicine companies
since the firm he represented became
insolvent, that he might again sell
Garrens Tonic. Mr. Robards will be
gin work as soon as the printed mat
ter which the company is having pre
pared is ready.
Mr. Garren stated that thero
a unanimous spirit of optimise
among the stockholders in 'che me'-.t-
ing Thursday night. All seemed con
fident, he said, that the third attem"t
to commercialize his products wov’d
**work the charm,” and that -.he
movement will be “put over.”
The company’s headquarters; .*x~e
situated in the sample rooms of -=-he
Blue Ridge inn, where ].5?7 ’^ottl''^
of the tonic as well as several barrels
of it, with other suppllse, have been
stored. Relabeling of these bottles
has been begun. There is, perhaos,
enough stock on hand to supply the
market for three months, Mr. Garren
stated.

ers.
The teachers are not imhiune
I against cupid darts as was exempli
fied in the unexpected marriage of

I man’s most popular young ladies'anc
I teachers. On the evening of May IP
she was quietly united in marriage
to Rev. Johnson of Bethel, N. C., r
form**^ npctor of the Rosman Metho
dist church.
Miss Beulah Whitmire ha^ been e
respected and faithfijl teachers and
was re-appointed for another year
and many were the conjecture?
when she denied reelection. Some
really accepting her reasons that she
was looking for a “government posi
tion” by which she no doubt meant
a “governess position.” but was not
underistood at that time.
“Beulah,” as sh ewas ponu^ari'f’^
called, by her friends and pupils, wiP
be missed in the community and
school, but more especially in the
church for she was the organist for
eight years at the Baptist church
here. She deserves great credit for
her faithful attendance. Many are
•the good wishes for a long and happy
married life/
After an illness of only a few
days, Dewey Williams died earlj
Sunday morning, May 20, 1922. at
his mother’s home near here. Dewey
was born at Bridgeport, Tenn., Jan
uary 10. 1902, and he lived there
until he came to Rosman in the early
part of last winter to visit his mother
Mrs. Moore. Deciding to remain, he
secured employment with the Glouccs
ter^ Lumber Co., with whom he re
mained until a few days days before
his death. It is sad to see as strong
a young man as I>ewey, just in the
bloom of his life called from time ■^o
the great beyond. But he has only
?one the way of all the nations of
the earth. The small and the great
must pass that way, for death is on
the trail of every one and at some
time and some where, he will over
take us. But to those who are pre
pared to meet Him, it will only be
a dream. The Bible stands an open
book of warning to a lost world, with
the broad invitaion that whosoever
will let him come and drink of the
water of life freely. We are .glad
that Dewey made this Svise choice,
so he leaves evidence that heaven is
his home. A short service was con
ducted by Rev. A. J* Manley. Sunday
nia:ht. for the benefit of his many
friends who could not attend the
^nnpral service. Many beautifu'
flowers as a tribute of respect cover-
■?'l his casket. The body wa^ carried
to Bridgeport, Tenn., for burial,
leaves a father, mother and bro
ther, besides his many friends, to
mourn his loss.

Little Interest In State
Offices
Raleigh, N. C., May 29, 1922.—
Notwithstanding the near approach of
the date for the state-wide primary
whicb^ to be exact, is to be puUed
off next Saturday, little interest at
taches to the contest for tha only
state position about which any ques
tion has arisen. Commissioner Tom
Lee feels that his record is going to
be endorsed by a handsome majority
*over his opponent, while frfends of
the latter claim that he has a good
fighting chance. One and a'half mil
lion tickets bearing the names of W.
T. Lee and A. C. Avery have gone to
the 1700 odd precincts and the voters, ^
j men and women this year, will de-
I termine on June 3rd whom they pre-
, fer for Corporation Commissioner
I for the next six years. One member
j of the Commission is chosen biennially
for a term of six years and the pres-
, ent term of Chairman Lee expires
next January.
I There 4^6 contests in only t^ee of
, the congressional districts.—between
democrats in the Fourth District, :n
j which Congressman Pou is being op
posed by former State Senator Will^?
• M. Person, and .in the Tenth whero
' two republicans, Reprcsentajbive R. R.
' Fisher, of Transylvania, and Dr. Pe-
gram of Haywood, are pitted against
each other. 130,000 tickets go ta
each of these districts. Senator Per-.
‘ son is making an active campaign on; -
a platform of. retrenchment and ro--
tation in office. He places to the
, credit of Mr. Pou thirty-two years of *
public service, ten as solicitor and
twenty-two as congressman from the -
I Fourth Congressional District. But
I the folks appear to be more interest-
{ ed in efficiency than rot«ition in of-
. fice and the indications are that the
Congressman Pou will be renominat-
,,ed ^
I ^ The most interesting fight of all i^'
fin the Third Congressional District^
\ between Col. Jos. E. Robinson and *
’ Matt H. Allen of Wayne; Dr.
? H. Carr and Hampton D. Williams, of
^ Duplin; Fitzhugh Whitefield and Sam
I H. Hobbs, of Sampson,^ and Chas.' L.
I Abernethy, of Craven. The .contest
• is spirited and a second primary is -
■Kkely. Every one of the seven a¥-"
i pirants are “shelling the woods” and
j the first primary will simplv nerve
t as an “elimination operation.” Dup-
j lin, Sampson and Wayne each has
j two candidates and the “favbrfte*'
son” issue in these will be setitled >
in the “first round.”
I The judicial difltricts will receive ‘
55,00 to 115,000 tckets, the num
ber beng based upon the vote cast
for the democratic candidate for Go- -
vemor. And the same rule applies
as to the senatorial districts, the total '
' tickets for the varioa&
offices befaig more than 3,000.000. .
i Little excitement is reported, in
senatorial and judicial districts west
, of the Blue Ridge. Transylvania will
name a democratic candidate for the
senate in the district composed of
, the counties of Haywood. Jackson
and the firet named. There is an
agreement in the district composed
of Henderson, McDowell, Polk, Cleve
I land and Rutherford and no primary
, is needed thera. Grover C. Davis
and W. R. Shsrrill are contesting for
^ solicitor in the Twentieth Judcal Dis-
' trict composed of practically all the
' counties West of Buncombe. J. M.
