P. T. Harrison—speak. Her topic East Relief” anfj she pre- the cause with directness and deep, sympathetic feeling. She did not solicit money at this service, but her object was to present the cause in time, so that the regular church budget J'hould include in its yearly fubs-'-ription the amount alloted, — v.'h ch !?: SSOO.OO to the Presbyterisn churches of Transylvania county. This cauie, so constantly and vivi-1- ly presented in all the cities of .ho United States, k often neglected in smaller places and it was to tell the people of our rural districts the dire need of the starving children of Ar menia that brought Mrs. Harrison to us. Mrs. Karrison is the wife of P. T. Harrison, professor of English at A. an(^ E. College, Raleigh.

G. E. Lathrop, city clerk and treas urer, has purchased a beautiful new roadster automobile from an Ashe ville firm. A. E. Hampton of the Standard Clothing Company, wears a cheerful smile these days on account of the un usually good business that this gent’s furnishing store is doing. “Alf.” believes that his present prosperou" business is due to Ihe fact that much cf the money thal was former y leav ing Brevard is nc»w b'vng invostej at home and “Why shouldn’t it?” Jerome & Pu^^lieil are greatly plead ed with the husi:',ess that has been so prosperous since IhfMr opening in Bre vard and er:iIrii.'instic over the great future -n stir * for Brevard.

English is remodeling his resi dence on Ga‘^ton Street by adding another story and lengthening tho house. Ralph H. Zachary is building a nice cottage, something that is badly need ed, near Maple street on one of his vacant lots. Since Sunday, September 3, revi val meetings have been going on in the local Baptist church. From Sun day until Wednesday the pi’eaching was done by Rev. Chas. C. Smith, the pastor, when Rev. tl. T. Stevens, of Greensboro, N. C., arrived and he has been preaching twice each day since. Mr. Stevens was expected to have- begun on Sunday, and arrived on Sa turday afternoon, but found a tele gram calling him to a funeral in Roan oke, Va., and he left at once, which accounts for his being out of the meeting for the first three day^. But his personality and his sermons favorably impressed the congrega tions from the very beginning, and large crov.’ds have heard him every night. The music is in charge of Mr. W’. Plunkett Martin of Lynchburg, Va., and the general verdict is that no singer has found more favorable ac ceptance with Brevard church people in recent years than he. His solo work is esnecinlly f.ne. Mr. Martin is nov.- w.th th,‘ evangelistic department of the Baptist Home Mission Board of .A.t’ar.tn, having been connected with this grcnt boai*d ^or a number of years. This, however, is the last meeting that he will hold while with the board. On October 1 he goes to Shreveport, La., where he will be music director of the great First Ban- tist church. This is one of the great churches of the country, havin;r re cently completed a buihiin:'- that co.-t a half million dollars, nn.j the coTigre- gatitsn gives to missions three hund red thousand dollars a year. The membt r-hip of this church is 2,300. Mr. Stev.-ns is at the head of the c*%’-ange!istic- department of the North Carolina Baptist Board of Missions, having been unusually successful in vhis field. His sermons are biblical, practical and he is able to make them Tit into the every day liws of his h>earers. Up to 'W'fcdnesday, w'hen this notice was writtcTi, the results of the meet- mg had not been what was hoped for at the beginning, but interest was growing with each service, and it is likel.v tTiat by Sunday night a goodly number of professions will have been made. It is planned to «lose the Tneetings on Sunday night. ADDITIONAL - PERSONALS O. L. ERWIN HAS ACCIDENT O. L. Erwin suffere-l a serious ac cident last week.

Opens With Large Enrollment — More Girls Than Boys—New Teachers. On Thursday, September 7th, 102id eager boys and girls from many of our Southern States gathered at Br-vV vard Institute for the opening or. Sep tomber 7th. Many of the old stUvl- ents are returning filled with the de termination to do better work’ this year than they have done in other years. Many new students have en rolled and as usual, the number of girls is in excess of that of the boys. Already the girl’s dormitory has over flowed and the girls will occupy the boys cottages on the campus, while the boys will enjoy their new qu-irter^ across the creek. While the person- elle of the faculty remains pratically the same, there are a few changes we would note. Miss Ethel Bost, graduate of Green sboro College, takes the position of Assistant Music Teacher, Lieut. C. A. Wilson, who was su])* orintendent of schools at Rogersville. Tenn., last year, will be dean of tho boys and teacher of agriculture. Miss Emma R. Miller of Richmond,, Va., will be dietician and have charge of girl’s duty work. Miss Miller i^ a graduate of Scarritt Bible and Training School and a student volun teer. The manual training department will be in charge of E. H. Norwood who will also continue the work in th« printing department the same as last year. Miss Lula E. Andrews of I-’la., takes Mrs. Boylans place as suptrvi;:- or of kitchen and dining hall. Brevard Institute opens this yer.r under very encouraging condition -, having the largest enrollment in the - history of the school, and also the best accommodations. Improve ments along all lines have gone stead ily forv.-ard during the summer holi days. The new boys dormitory with forty-seven bods has beer completecJ; buildings have been repaired; the new farm has been developed ami splendid crops grown. “The vallvy- stand r:r-h with corn that they laugh and sing.” Tlu campus is lil- tractive with newly painted buildings, cement v.alks and flower border.-:. Ever.vthing and everybody is in readi ness for a successful school term. For the information of those unfaii/iii:i» vi’ith this school we v.'ould say tfvJ. the work done by Brevard Institute is that of a junior-senior h'gh scho I beginning v.ith the seventh gra-.l.'-, which gives the pupils that common knowledge and skill which will help them to lit in with all pupils of other schools that they may associate with. Before they begin the ninth gTiuit pupils are urged to decide whether the.y will go to college or not. If they elect To go, they take the usual courses in Latin and Algebra. If not, they are urged to take up some vocu- tional training. To help them at this stage a Vocational Guidance couivc has been prepared which touches up on all the various courses of the school, thus helping pupils to find in what line cf work their own tastes lie. Among the vocational courses pro vided are: Pedagogy, nursing, elec tricity, printing, domestic science, photography, etc. In fact a cla^is is formed for any vocat’cnal study where a sufficient number of pupils require th’? s^’vice. This school pro vides board and tuition for nine months for $152.80. STUDIO TEA On Wednesday af*C'rnoon, August 30, a most delightfrl studio tea was held at the mount \ home of Mrs. Pettigreen Verner i the Connestee road. After assen . ing on tho porch, which commands a most wonderful view of the French Broad valley, the guests were invited inside the house to view niost recent pictures of Mr. Will Stevens, done by him durhig the summer m nths. Tho subiocts varied from th- 1 -ged scenery of the Nan- tahala vnlley and I’^ver to decorative panels and small oil paintings. Mr. Stevens, who fame is beco*;iing nation wide, for two years a teacher of art in Newcomb College, New Orleans. He has been the gusst for several weeks or nis brother, Mr. John Stev ens, of Cincinnatti, who has recently built a summer home on See Off moun tain. V
