In Memoriam, 1918
Love and our dreams are over; Hope is
dumb.
Your coffln closed the darkness on my
hours.
Your grave has left its slime upon my |
flowers,
I live your Death; with laggringr fefet and
numb
I turn to paths where you will never
come.
To passing men—and your gaunt shadow
towers
On all I meet—your words like sudden
showers
Break through the hot wild clamor.
And when a drum
Mutters below my window, or a flute
Shrills the false
merriment we
bring to War
Or fools’ hoarse
cheering blares
across my
peace—
I curse the Thing
that left you,
damp and
mute,
In alien mold-
then suddenly
know yoH, are
Safer than I—and
thank God on
my kneea.
Most Worthy Celebration.
' Memorial day is best celebrated by
that deep appreciation of the loyalty,
devotion and heroism making* this a
united nation, w^hich impresses us
with our own responsibility for keep
ing it united for generations thut are
to follow us.

TO THE READING PUBLIC
Mr. Editor;
Some writers have said of North
Carolina that she is continually mak
ing history worth reading, but slow
to preserve it. It that remark is
truly applicable to the State as a
whole it is applicable to each part
unless exceptions can be shown. Tran
sylvania can hardly prove an alibi.
Our history so far is unwirtten.
Outside offical records we are de
pendent upon tradition. What we
may have learned of ecclesiastical,
social, ecenomic, industrial and edu
cational development is called large
ly from traditional fragments. It
may be the various churches are pre
serving records of denominational
progress, but apparently makfcig no
?fforts to make known the facts.
Take Presbyterianism, for instance
the non-afflicted know nothing cer
tainly of the actual fact attending
the origin and early planting of Pres-
^yterianism in this county. It has
been handed down traditionally vhat
about a centry ago. Rev. Ephriam
Bradshaw. D. D., was pastor of a
Presbyterian church at Davidson Ri-
vor; that the Davidsons, Pattons,
Claytons, Orrs, Neils and Yongues
wore members of this flock. Y/he-
ther or not he was the first pastor,
we do not know, but was the first,
perhaps, who impressed himself upon
'he reat<=! of the people not to be ob-
literaded in a century.
Methodism was introduced early
in the ninth century. Perhaps Mrs^
Sarah Paxton, daughter of General
Char’es McDowell, who settled at
the Cherry Fields, if not the first,
was among the first Methodists of
upper French Broad. The Beaslys,
lances, of Eeast Fork and Vandan
Loftis of Dunns Rock with her and
her daughters constituted the first
class; Haddens, Shuford, and others
•’t Pine Grove. Preaching services
for some time were held in private
'I'vollings: Billie Wilson’s house '.ipar
Wilson’s bridge and Benjiman Wil
son’s at Selica were favorite meet-
injr places. Rev. B. H. Merriman was
among the first assigned to this cir-
out which then embraced a larpre
forritory. The class (as these local
church divisions were then called'
at the Cherry Fields built a chapel
near where Oat Bryson now lives,
known for many years as Merriman’s
meetine: house. During this pastor
ate. Mr. Merriman married Miss.
Ppxton and. it seems, retired :!rom
corference, but continued to preach
in his chapel. During this local mini
stration his first born son, Augustus,
was bom—the only native Transyl
vanian that ever reached the United
St.ites Senate.
Episcopalism came to us about 65
or 70 vears ago bv resort imigration
from Charleston. S. C. Most of them
boupt and tilled laree farms ::rom
<ho Everett farm up the river-to Cos
Paxton’s place. In a central point
amonc: themselves they built the
church St. Paul in the valley. Pardon
Hankie was rector up to the war be
tween the States. The war dealt a
heavy blow to the progress of this
church. Since reconstruction the tal
lying point has been at Brevard with
a constituency more cosmopolitan in
oricrin.
V/ith the Baptists, this is a cen
tennial year; but not a word has been
uttered publicity of the fact- It is
a matter of record that the Baptist
cause became formally and per
manently organized in the constitu
tion of Cathey’s Creek church, which
took place July 22, 1822. The terri
tory embraced in the constituency
of this church is identical with the
nresent county limits—^the field of
the one church in 1822 is the field
of Transylvania Association in 1922.
Previous to this time the above
field was regarded as a mission sta-
t’on under the surveilance of French
Eroad church, now of Henderson
county, having Rec. Benjiman King
as spiritual leader. For several yearg
ho preached in private dwellings, ro
tating from Francis Allison’s, near
Penrose via. Samuel Kings, John Ni
cholson’s. Robert McMinn's to Jonh
Galloway’s, near Old Toxawav.
r some time in summer he preach
ed under a laree spreading noplar
^’•“e on Esq. Paxton’s farm. Under
' is tree a revival was held; th«' r'ol-
r'winflT were baptised; Sallie Gilles
pie, Retsie Reed, Peffgy Hooper,
Jonathan Siniard, Pesrgy Siniard,
John Aiken, John Garoway, ^r._ Bet-
sip Galloway, Vicey Nicholson, Sallie
Aiken.
A revival was held at Robert Mc-
Minn’s; the following joined: Pegery
Davis, Wm. Gillespie, Robert H
’■''-^ie. Anna Owen, Ph^'ba Burrel.
Ne”" Joshua Scalf, Isaac
Ti-am ’1. Wm. Oallowav, Surrv, G.il-
loway, Esther Glazener, Surry Ola-
7ener, David Hadden and Millie Gil-
Ip'^pie.
The mission built a meeting house
m 18!^, which was placed on a pret
ty eminence near the present resi
tsonce of J. A. Mull, supposed to be
central point between Penrose,
Fork. Toxaway (rather, Cam-
braVe) and Gloucester. At this
’’ouse. or one built soon after, near
iho place of the present meetins'
house at Cathey’s CIroe’< church, the
f?T-manent organization took place.
In looking over the last centruy.
'he writer was im-oressed that the
readers of the Nev»^s, as well as him-
'0?f. knew too little of the gene.???
f'f thinjars relatin<r ^o the history of
oi.ir county. That history, commend-
"hlo history has been made is not ecro-
’^’sticl for any son to claim. The
"hnrches and other er.terorises have
’"'lade prosrress. v/e see and proudly
"“alize. How, bv whom, what were
^he incentives to action, what the
"'b^^tac’es overcome?—of these we
’ '’ve little authentic knowledge. Let

J. K. MILLS.
Thomas *Al' Edison lias become such
an American institution that it is diffi
cult to recall the time when he was
not Inventing things and revolutioniz
ing/modem life by his remarkable dis
coveries. It must be over 40 years
ago that his name became almost a
household word, and in all the Inter
vening por'nd the luster of hl.s fame
has kept :r. owing until now it is as
well knoM-Ti in every quarter of the
world as in hi:< native land. And yet
he is only sovt*nty-llve years old. Long
may he livo to continue his beneficent
labors in Imrnessing the electric cui*-
rent for the benefit of man! He is
distinctly n man of genius, of whom
few appear from time to time. His
millions of •vel 1-wishers will be glad
to see him s>)Mred for at least 25 years
more.
As the regular U. D. C. meeting

U. D. C. MEETING
Those persons wJm delight in delv
ing for the cause of things are now
turning their attention to why the
young nen of America have become
so much more “(Irp.ssy” than t!>ey used
to be. A wri*^’:*!- w!io claims to have
studied the subjoc-t carefully says they
undoubtedly aro; declares the pocket
mirror and the lipstick are now the
constant companions of many men and
predicts it is but a question of a short
time till men will again wear ruffles
and laces and co.stly fur collars. The
war is said to be to blame for these
affairs, the young men <>aving become
so vain and so accustomed to admira
tion while In uniform that they 'do
not relish returnirg to the sedate
clothing they once wore.
Transylvania Daughters of the
Confederacy will meet Saturday^
June 3, 4 P. M.

ed to bring any article of interest.

It is explained tiiat the mute wh<w
asked for a divorce i>ecause of what
his wife said to him in the sign man
ual was not unreasonable, as things
can be said that way that a peiraon
wouldn’t dare say out loud. Still, the
average man who can hear wouldn’t
care anything about what she said by
sign. For instance, instead of calling
lilm a “piece of cheese," she would
bring him a piece of it and tell him
he was like it, the chances are he
would call for a slice of bread, and
then proceed to eat it.
It is hard for the consumer to make
both ends meet, according to the re
tail dealers, because they will not buy
the meat ends, but maybe the con
sumer would do that if the dealer
could make the ends meat.
Now it develops that Ihe fortifica
tions at Panama are inadequate and
that enemy ships could Ue out of
range and bombard the canal at will—
provided, of course, Uncle Sam did not
try to do anything about it.
