COUNnFAK
Writer Explains V^alue And Urge*
A Grand County
Fair.
Editor of the Brevard News:
We wish to show some of the bene
fits to be derived by the people of
Transylvania county from our hav-;
ing an annual county fair.
In the first place it will prove to
ke a great social occasion for our peo
pie in affording them an opportunity !
<once a year to meet together for a '
day of rest and recreation among I
their friends of the different sec-1
tions of the comity. ]
When one has toiled on the farm j
or in the work shop through the
whole year until late in the Autumn I
it is a benediction to get away from '
the daily grind and spend a few,
days in company with our friends, j
talking oT«r -our successes and fail-;
ures durin'g the year, and planning I
for greater success and added remu- \
neration from our labors during the ,
next year and on through the com- j
ing days 'oT our earthly existence.
There Is too much isolation among
OUT rural population, and it is tv j
splendid idea to arrange fox our peo
ple tt> meet together once a year,
if only for the social feature connect
ed wltli the occasion.
But there is a financial advants.'ge
to be gained from this ainnial fair
that cannot be derived in any other
wav.
When we bring together once a
y0ar 'our best horses and cattle, our
1>est 'hogs and .sheep, our finest tur- ;
keys and chickens, it creates a rival
ry 'among our stock and poultry rnis- ;
ers, and they go to work with the
desire and determination * to be the
Vimier at the next fan* if it be pos
sible for them to outdo their neigh-
Iroro. If the farmers Ijring the be?t
“Com. the largest pumpkins, melons,
turnips, and finest alfalfa, soy beans, i
crimson clover, vetcli and the ^^mall
grains and grasses; if some_one .^hows
tlie biggest cabbage, tlie finest to
matoes, the best irisTi potatoes and
tsv/eet potatoes, it xiauso/; the one
who falls behind his Treigliboi to work j
with a determined resolution not co j
l)e outdone next year. i
When a sturdy old farmer v-;-.i
to the fair the bigcest rosy-c"' 1 (
Tipple, the most delicious peac
finest bunch of lucious grapes, it will i
cause the others wlro are presc '" ■ ,
?ay: “Surely I can do as well ''v -1
ing fine fruits as that bid man iias 1
done.” !
When our ladies exliibit the fin'’<!t j
h)af, the best jelFres and he'
srreatest variety of canne'd fruits
artistically arranged, the handsome>t
■needle work and crucheting, the iov-.
Hest ouilts, the daintiest pillow case?
•and shams, and all the other orna- i
mental and useful articles which they
are continually malcing;—^I say when
all these things are shown at o’lr
county fairs, it will cause n friendly
rivalry among our lady friends vbnt.
will add pleasure and profit to the
peonle of our county.
Everv thing that can be done o
cause the people •of Transylvania
countv to grow more and bott^r
‘s^onpojd TRfpiBS pXTB lUURJ
. thing that will add to the tive stock in |
dustry and to fruit prawing upon an ;
extensive and scientific scale, all that ■
Avill help our lady friends to learn i
■more of the art of covlting, canning,;
preserving and the variou other do- i
mestic duties in which tliey are -?ngag
ed will add to the wealtli of our peo- ;
plo and -’ounty. ]
In addition to the social an<i fi- |
pancial advantages to be derived ;
from our having a countv fair, there '
is a moral benefit which will /^'von- ]
tiTally take place as a result of our i
added happiness an^^ wealth. VvI-tt. !
our farms are brought irp to be the
r’srht state of fertility as a result of j
the lessons we learn from eacli Tjlher ;
our annual fairs, when our coves
ar^’ mountain sides are velveted
with clover, orchard grass, blue "rass !
and thp other meadow grasses to j
"ivh’c'h they are naturally adapted !
and upon whose green carpet arc '
countVss herds of horses and mules,
cows, hogs and sheep, when our hijth
rvonntain tops are studded with ap-
-)1e, peach and pear trees upon which
hang in countless numbers the rich,
.^licy fruits for which Western North
Carolina is noted—I say when this
happy ideal shall have taken place,
ns a result of our Transylvania coun-
tv fair, our people will be so con
tented and happy there will be no
desire of our boys and girls to leave
*he old homes and wander oflF into
fmmorality and sin. There will be
TTo hiding places for the ‘blind tiger’
no relish for the ‘bootlegging’
business. So*we see that from a
moral standnoint, it behooves us to
put forth all our energy and enthu-
fiasm possible to make our fair a
success.
The last and greatest benefit to
br» derived by the people of Transyl
vania on account of our having a
county fair is a religious one. When
a people are so engaged in toil day
’n and day out, from week end to
v.'cek end through the whole year in
order to eke out a mere existence
when it takes all the time to make
a living and no time can be found
*0 read good books or to study the
Sunday, school lessons and the Bible,
when the time is entirely taken up in
work from early Monday morning
until late Saturday night, our people
will then spend their Sundays in rest
A GREAT PRIMARY
The Democratic primary of last
Saturday i^ll be remembered in
Transylvania for many years as
being remarkable not only for the
great interest taken, but for the gen- '
eral friendly feeling among the can- :
didates themselves. i
The day was remarkable for the
steady but quiet stream of voters'
who dropped their tickets in the box- j
es for their favorite candidates. '
The following were elected: Cos
Paxton, sheriff; N, A, Miller, clerk !
and tax collector; W. H. Duckworth, i
representative; Ed. Patton, Jr.,'
treasurer; J, Frank Morgan, register ■
of deeds; county commissioners,'
George Lyday, T. S. Galloway, W.
S. Ashworth,
There were no hard feelings or i
personalities indulged in by any of
the candidates and it is said the De
mocratic part^ has one of the strong
est tickets ever put into the field.
Owing to some irregularities the
race for the senate was undecided.
For State Senate votes cast were
as follows:
J. M. Zachary, Boyd Township ., ID
J. M. Zachary, Brevard township 303
J. M, Zachary, Catheys Creek

J. M. Zachary, Dunns Rock

CARD OF THANKS
I wish to thank my friends who
supported me so staunchly in the De
mocratic Primary, June 3. It was
a good, clean family argument and
we made a great race.
The Democratic voters decided for
that staunch veteran7 Cos Paxton,
and no better man could be our
nominee. I bespeak the support and
influence of everyone who voted for
me to pull off their coat.^ and line
up for the Democratic ticket, which
is sure to win in the fall election.
