BREVARD VICtIM OF MURDEROUS^ ASSAULT ? < ', ' I | The good people of Western 1 North Carolina will learn with re gret that one of its progressive citi zens, the Town *of Brevard, and. al so Transylvania County, >ydre severe | ly wounded in the murderous assault 1 made upon them by a rich plutocrat I from Washington, D. C., who goes under the name of tlje Southern Railroad. | ; "This nefarious assault ' o<;cured ' last Sur.day about 1 :00 o'clock, and Iwhije the said Brevard and said i 'Transylvania will no doubt recover from this unwarranted- attack, still j there will always be a deep scar to remind Brevard's and'Transylvania's friends of this attack and who made l4t , ; | , Laying, all joking aside, for this ia no joking matter, the people of Transylvania County and Brevard 'were incensed by the action of lithe Southern Railway, and also by the action of, the Corporation Com mission of the State in allowing the Southern Railway to take off a train and get Transylvania County and Brevard down to one mail per day - without the citizens of its communis "ty being notified or heard ?> in the ? premises. ?; \\ 1 There is no excuse thak can satis fy the people of this community for the Way they, have -been treated in this matter. We sincerely hbpe that we can get some redress, . legal, equitable or . otherwise. ' To think that BrevSrd has gone hack to' the old ante-bellum custom of onp mail per day, is ?stonishing, astounding' and altogether atrocious/ We do not know' who is to blame, ' but if the plea. of the. railroad is lqck of mdijoy, said lack of' money, is caused by bad. management and 'not' lack of patronage or apprecia-/ tipn. ? v The people of Transylvania coun ty have paid Aver' $500.00 a month for many, years as interest and. owe $85,000.00. as principal of the sub sidy that they paid for getting this railroad Iqn here. V ' ?, The Tratjsylvania Railroad Com pany bought rit -at a Margin and lead ed it -to the Southern Railway at' a fair, rental, and the Southern Rail way included the Transylvania in its total, mileage and has used hundreds 'of thousands of bonds on , 'the* sLength ? of their lease. , ? ? > We do not deny that the local passenger business on the railroad has fallen off, and it should have done so, because not only in the height of the 'tourist season this {year, but also in other yearB, the management of the railroad has seen fit to put on their railroad an tiquated passenger - coaches that (.were a disgTace to any model rail road and were ''incomputable and dangerous to the passengers. ' Without consulting and over the protest of the .people' of one section of this County, the station at fielica was abolished although the right of >?jvcr which tl^e railroad runs was. obtained by the promise that th^re would always be a deppt main ^tained*at Selica, and' now one passen^ ger train, and the mail clerk "has been takeq off and we are back to the old one-mail pouch per day method. v .? If the author of this one train per day .schedule could be found and tried in the . court of jpubljc opinion, he, she, it or they would be convic ted and sentenced to be "hungfc drawn and quartered without -bene fit of clergy." | The various orgfinizatiQns of the I County are going to take this mat ter up and see if this 'attempt to cripple Transylvania County and Brevard cannot be thwarted., The Corporation Commission should certainly have refused their permission .to allow any train to be taken off simply at the request of the railroad. We humble cftizens of the moun tains had heretofore thought that <we were paying' our taxes directly or indirectly as the case- may be, to pay the salariesvand expenses of the members of the corporation Cbm mission, so that we would be pro tected and at least have our day in court and be heard before we were deprived of what we consider our rights, but in this, we seem to have been mistaken, and the railroad pe ?( titions the Corporation Commission I and the Commissioners sit in their 'offices in Raleigh and without a word to the parties affected, have relied upon the ex parte statements of the plaintiff and rendered judg ment against the defendants. We have always been 'fair to the railroad and intend to be fair in the future and we demand the same U MISS HARRIS WEDS W. W. DUCKWORTH [ 'penttring the interest of a wide circle of friends was the marriage of fylissi Jean Harris and Mr.* Wil liam Walter Duckworth, which oc curred Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock at 'the home of the bride'a parents, Mr. and Mrs, A. H. Har ris, on Broad street, Brevard, j 'IW lower floor t)f the spacious ; house was, thrown 'en-suite and dec ' orated with a profusion of ever green and graceful fall flowers. The improvised altar was 1 formed with spruce bacJcgrtAmd and ferns, be fore which tail candelabra burning white tapers were grouped. The aisle w& formed Vith white floor baskets tied with white tulle bows and filled with lace fern and swan sonia. Preceding the ceremony a de lightful musical program ' was ,rendered by Mrs. O. L. Erwin. Just . before the entrance of the bridal party Mrs. Hugh R. Walker very beautifully sang "When I'm With You" and "I Love You Truly" with piano accompaniment by MVs. Erwhj. ? , j Preceeded by her maid of honor, the bride came down the 1 stairway, and was met at the * alter by the groom,, who kad as his best man his brother, Mr. Ralph Duckworth. The impressive words of the .ring ser vice were sjioken by the bride's pas tor, the Rev. John R. Hay, assisted by Rev.- Wallace Hartsell.f The maid of honor, Miss Fsances Scott, fit Knoxville, > Tenn., af> adopted sister of the bride, was charmingly gowned in black satin . ty'jyihiohed along siraigj.},; hues, trimmed with l?ands of > Chinese embroidery; her corsage was Kil larney roses. The bride was lovely in' a gown of penny brown crepe satin* with trimmings of fur,, and carried t* bouquet of Ophelia! roses, tied with gold. The &ride, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. H: Harris, of Bre vard, is a young woman of unusual talent and charm. , She was grad uated from the city high school, of Knoxville, Tenn., 'and later attend-' ed Converse college, Spartanburg, S. C.. where she studied music. At the time of her marriage she was a teicher ih the Davidson River school. ? She has a host of friends throughout North. Carolina, partic- ' u laxly the western section, whexc 1 sho ia closely associated with musi- ! tal and Literary club work, being 1 an active member of Ihe Music 1 Lovers' club and faithfully serving : as secretary and treasurer of tbau j organization for the past two years. The brideg+oom is the oldest Sfen of Hon. and -Mrs. William H. Duck- t worth, of Brevard. For the past , two years Mr. Duckworth has been connected with the management ot the Lowe Mcftor company, of this eity. ,He is a World way veteran, serving with the marine corps. Immediately after the ceremony, Mr. 'ar^d Mrs. Duckworth loft on a i motor tour to High Hampton and othear points. ' l After October 15, they will be at home to their friends in Brevard. kEV. I. T. \jEWTON BEGINS MEETING Former Pastor I. T. Newton will begin a meeting Tuesday night at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, Calvert, N. C. It is~ hoped that YOU will earnestly co-operate in making the services count for much good in this meeting. vt > _J | fairness. There have been rumb- ' lings and rumors of a change in j schedule and perhaps the former ' management of the Brevard News 1 knew somthing about it, but the pre- j sent management had no definite j knowledge of what was going to be done, for if it had have had sych ' knowledge, the famous Hell and Mariah by Mr. Dawes, would sink into insignificance, when compared with the well deserved and freelv delivered words of emphatic and unmistakable meaning. We call on all the good citizens 1 of Transylvania County Who have interest of our County at heart, to join in a popular movement to first request then demand and lastly, re quire fair and just treatment from the railroad and from the Corpora- ! tion Commission. N It is always best to ar^ue first, al though we are greatly incensed ' at our present treatment. Still let's hear wha the railroad has to say and they judge them and treat them ac cording- as to whether their posi tion is correct or not. d THE IVYER CORNER Transition , 'Summer ha, ^ and winter ha J not yet come.
