An enthusiastic audience which fil
led the Hijjh School auditorium was
pects of another ten-story office build- kept in constant uproar at the presen-
‘ing in the near future. It is to a-
dorn a beautiful site at the southeast
corner of West Harjjet and South Sal
isbury streets and will be known as
the Odd Fellows Building. This site
is the property of the two local lodges
and the new building will be owned )
jointly by them. Raleigh is very
much in need of office facilities and
this building will meet present needs
in a commercial way and provide ad
ditional store space besides. It is
estimated that the tcn stories will
accommodate a total of 105 offices,
exclusive of store rooms on the first
floor. And a handsome lodge room
on the tenth story.
The building will be of modern fire
proof con.struction with steel columns,
concrete slabs and tile partitions. The
stairways will be enclosed with fire
proof partitions and fire proof doors,
and lavratories will be conveniently
placed all over the biulding. The ex
terior is to bo of limestone for the
lower stories, with faced brick above,
up to the ninth floor. The ninth and
tenth stories will be completed in
Roman Corynthian pilasters with an
entablature of ornamental brackets.
When completed, the lodge room on
the tenth floor will be best appointed
in the South.
It is believed that the Grand Lodge
of the Order will, on the completion
of this magnificent temple, discon
tinue its pilgrimages annually over
the State and select Raleigh as the
permanent meeting place. The office
of the Grand Secretary has been loca
ted here for many years and Will most
assuredly fin^ permanent quarters in
the new building, which will be f" f
the most beautiful and w’ell appo’ '.U-l
office buildings to be found anywhere
in this section of the country.
Daniels Starts
Campaign
The Democratic campaign in the
State is beginning to gather force.
The latest speaker to take the fielj is
Editor Josephus Daniels, of the News
and Observer, who opened the ball
for the Catawba democrats at Hick
ory on Friday. During the eight
years Mr. Daniels served as Secretary
of the Navy he learne(j a lot of things
which the folks are going to know
about before the campaign is over, if
he keeps on talking. This is the wa^;
he summed up the record of the pre
sent congress in his speech at Hickory

caneers.
2. It gave a tariff for the profiteers.
3. It approved Senate seats for the
auctioneers.
4. It promises a shiii subsidy; alfo,
for the profiteers.
The Democratic Handbook has been
completed. It contains a complete
review of the activities of State de
partments and outlines these four pol
icies for the party as a national or
ganization ;
1. Honest and scientific tax revis
ion with taxes equitably levied, so
that the bulk of taxes be paid by the,
people best able to pay them.
2. A complete tarilf to provide re
venue for the government and stimu

NEW CAHPIGN PLAN
OF BAPTISTS
SOUTHERN BAPTIST PLAN
GREAT UNDERTAKING
Trancylvanjff 'ap^iac* in Line With
New Or<j iniiai.icn
Rev. Charles C. bnnm returned on
Thursday September 21 from Raleigh
where he and many Baptist leaders
from all over North Carolina met
with the Baptist State Mission Boar^
at the call of the great secretary Rev.
Dr. Charles E. Maddry, for the pur
pose of launching the Re-enforce-
ment Campaign of the 75 Million
Campaign made three years ago
when Southern Baptists subscribed
ninety-two million dollars.
Despite the stringency of the times
the work of Baptists all along the
lines has been greatly advanced, and
the work in all departments has been
vastly enlarged. The contributions
for both home and missionary pur
poses have increased by more than
morty-three millions dollars for the
past three years—the poriod of the
Campign—than for the preceeding
three years.
The results, also, have been large
ly increased. More than nine mil-
cate^j cootie and a bollweevil was re-; dollars have been added to the
sponsible for a thoroughly enjoyable
evening. “Beat it or the bug will
get you.”
BREVARD HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
The Brevard High School opening
has been most au^spicious. .\t the
end of the first month, there is an
enrollment of 587, with 114 of these
in the high school proper.
Out of the 19 in the faculty, 8 are
in our school for the first time. They,
as w'ell as the others, have begun their
work in a most satisfactory manner.
The second week of school, both
the boys and the eirls or ^ ■'hr

The baseball team has had
games with Brevard Institute and
were the winners in both games.
The Helicon and Gladstone Liter

endowments of Baptist educational
institution, while in them there arc
now more than 2,500 students for the
ministry and for full time Christian
work. On the foreign field last year
there were nearly 8,000 baptisms;
and in the home land—the South—
during the Crimpaign period there

THE PRAYER CORNER
‘FOR MINISTERS OF RELIGION”
The man of God gives the service
of his heart, his head and his hands
in the threefold relationship to the
souls he tends: mother, father, broth
er.
We need to care but for tw'o things,
that we do always our best and that
we do what we do through love for
Christ. If we are faithful up to the
measure of our ability and opportun
ity, and if love sanctifies what we
do, we are sure of our Saviour’s ap
proval. We are to maintain an un
ruffled calm and all the tendernesses
and simplicity of the heart of a little
child at all times.
A prayer for ministers of religion,
that all may pray and v/hich I hope
all will:
Almighty God, our Heavenly Fath
er, we bless Thee for those Thou
hast set apart to minister in spirit
ual things. Give them an unction
from the Holy One that they may
speak the truth in love. Put within
them the spirit of prophet and seer,
that, in the presence of evil or wrong,
in the society of the individual, they
may cry aloud and spare not. Grant
that they may so proclaim Thy word
that the careless may be arrested, the
sorrowing comforted, the tempted
made strong, the weary and heavy
laden refreshed.
Bless Thy servants as they break
the Bread of Life among Thy peo
ple, whether in the ministrations of
Thy House, or in private intercour.-o
with those who seek their help. Be
with them in hours of despondency,
when heart and flesh fail be Thou
the strength of their hearts and their
portion forever. Keep alivo within
them the fires of faith and courage
that they may never despair of the
world or of themselves.
May the.v be willing to bear the
reproach of Christ and ever to be
counted fools for Ilis sake, if only
they may win some souls for truth
and goodness. Consecrate them to
a divine simplicity of purpose that,
renouncing all earthly prizes and am
bitions they may discover with glad
hearts Thy call to work with Theo
for the redemption of the world.
And this work let them find their
all sufficient rew'ard, in Christ’s name
we ask it, Amen.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NEWS:
RUBE LEWIS INJURED.
BREVARD iNSTnUTE R.R.FISBER
Whereas, there is such a multipli
city of notices and announcements
that are sent to the churches almost
every Sunday with the request that
they be made to the congregations by
the pastors;
And, w'hereas, the most of these
announcements have nothing to do
with the various churches in our com
munity, and take up quite a good
deal of time, thereby tending to
lengthen the services and to worry
the congrgation with the tediousness
of details;
And whereas, the various congre
gations in the community that usually
ask that these announcements be
made have the same access to pub
licity that the churches have, namely,
their own members and the local pa
per;
Be it resolved by the Brevard par-
tor.s’ Conferen -e in <h-?ir 'p-'
meeting on October third, 1922, tlint
the general public take the above
facts into consideration and send
just as few notices as possible to the
churches, and to remember that the
majority of such notices sent in in
terest only a comparatively few, and
that is not just fair to cause many
others to have their time taken up by
things that do not interest them.
Be it resolved further, that we re
quest that all notices sent to the pas-
i toi*s for public announcement be only
I such as are of general public inter
' est.
Regu'ar services will be held in the
Presbyterian church on next Sunday
at 11 A. M. and 7 .30 P. M.
Rev. John R. Hay, who has been

THE TRANSYLVANIA BAPTIST
ASSOCIATION WILL MEET
NEXT WEEK WITH
Pisgah Forest Baptist Church — A
Three - Days Session.
The forty-first annual session of
the Transylvania Baptist Association
will be held next week with the Bap
tist church of Pisgah Forest, of which
Rev. E. G. Ledford is pastor. The
body will be called to order at 11:00
A. iVl.^ on Wedn_..day, October 11th,
-ind will, after short devotional exer-
o'f-e.^, by the moderator. Rev. S. B
McCall, proceed at once to organize
itself by the enrollment of delec,ate?
and the election of officers for the
coming year, and to serve during the
session next week.
After organizing, the annual intro
ductory sermon will be preached b;.
Rev. A. J. Manley, or the alternate
Rev. S. B. McCall, and after that the
body will give itself to the consider
ation of the work that it will have tc
do.
It is felt that the churches of the
association have had quite a good
year during the past twelve months;
many of them have had large numbers
of baptisms, and perhaps the amounts
of money raised will total larger than
any preceding year. ,The churches
have had internal peace and harmony,
with the notable exception of Mt.
FOR CONGRESS
REPRESENTATIVE GIVES INTER
VIEW IN WHICH HE STATES
PLATFORM
Moriah, which is divided into two i universities.
Mr. Ralph Fisher, candidate for
congress, recently returned from Ra
leigh and Durham, where he conferr
ed with Hon. W, H. Branham, chair
man of the Republican State exe
cutive committee, and other political
leaders, in regard to his campaign
in the Tenth District.
After consultng with the republi
can congressional committee, Mr.
Fisher states he has offered through
Lewis P. Hamlin, chairman of the
republican congressional committee,
to meet in joint debate any of his
opponents on the stump in any coun
ty in the district.
He will take the position in the
coming campaign, he further states,
"h.'it nulp products, extracts, acid.^i
and other wood products, as well as
mica and corundum, will be placed
on the protective tariff list, if he is
+o congress.
Mr. Fisher claims the distinction of
be .11. v/.i -J DucK-pnvate in the
United States running for Congress,
having enlisted in the war in 1917,
<Toing at once to France, where he
spent many months, he asserted and
returned to Brevard in the summer of
1919 to take up the practice of law in
this community.
He was the first^Post Commander
of the American Legion, Pisgah Post
^88, and in 1920 was elected to Legis
lature from Transylvania County, and
was nominated for Congress in the
June Primaries, over Major R. W, S.
Pegram, by a large majority.
Mr. Fisher is 30 years old, the sort
of Dr. W. C. Fisher, deceased, who
was formerly of this county. Being
left, at 12 years of age, by the death
of his father, to make his own way,
he asserted he worked at common lab
or for 12 years, being a brakeman on
a logging train, section hand, felling
timber, driving oxen in lumber dis
tricts of this county and later became
brakeman on the Southern Railroad.
Education came to him through ap
plication at odd hours and irregular
terms of school ho stated. He re
ceived his Law License from Wake
Forest College in 1917. He also-
spent short periods , at Colombus In
stitute, Mars Hill College and other
factions. Because of the division it
has been feared that some trouble will
be created at the association as to
seating the delegates; but it is not
generally felt that there will be among
both of these factions' a sufficient
spirit of peace and the desire for
harmony in the body; and enough
wise head members of the associa
tion, to keep down any disciission of
this matter and to bring about a satis
factory adjustment of th« situation
at least as far as this meeting of the
association is concerned.’
The Executive Committee of the
body is going to recommend one im
portant change, and that is that in
the future the association meet one
month later; that is, on Tuesday or
Wedne&May aftei^ the second Sunday
in November instead of October, as
at present. This recommendation
will be made to conform to the action
of the state convention of last year,
which, beginning this year, meets in
rec:'irl'‘'r ad of November; anu
this will make the fiscal year of the
association more nearly conform to
those of the convention. The later
date will also give one more fall
month before the meeting of the as
sociation for the collection ^ of mis
sion and current fund pledges.
It is expected that the attendance,
this year will be larger than fo many
year?, as the meeting placu is very
central, and some of the churche?
v.hich have not in recent years been
co-operating with the association have
decided to take up again active af
filiation with the body It is also
hoped that some of the secretaries
from Raleigh will attend this session
though that is as yet not definitely
known.
