Now that the intensive work
. ^ vith the children is off. for a season,
^^\an. effort will' be made this week to
put oVer the Community Hatchery.
Ahout half of tbe -hares have been
taken up. This means that we must
see. business men now to make up.
- the rest. It is a investment for
the shareholder, and a project that'
will keep money at home, and -ave
the spending of so .much for baby
chickenss.
As the situation now is the Farm
Agent is not advi-vd to push any
thing much .1' tit 'poultry and truck
till real estate dea-Ts .settle. These
two. all" feel ;ur certain. whatever
may happen: ami what is predicted
to happen -will on'y make these two I
branches of farmitit*. more. important,
and more profitable. Lets tackle
these two this waiter and do some-,
thing.
W-viMv the. Hatchery question i<
out of the way. the- -question of |
markets will be up. and some form
. of organization will be pushed. :

After a dHiberati'i' !/ ??:", three;

JJiVMsSi-- the defendant fr-ec-dom
with ;! verdict of' pot gudty. The
jury had apparently re Mi rued a pop
ular verdict . as then- were many
shout< of approval fror.i the throng
of friends ami we!I-\vi.- i;,ei> present,
who showered; Brooks with cbhgratr
ulations. The: defendant accented
the verdic calmly. stepping forward
and shakim- hands with ' the ' jury
nien, thanking them hi it fly for what
they had done., and taking his chil
dren into his arms.
The killing of Bryson by Brooks
was the culmination of a scries of
conflicts between the two men, in
which Brooks* wife was ??implicated.
The fatal shot was fired by Brooks
on August (!, at a tilling station in
Henderson vilie. following the dis
covery by Brooks of Bryson in the
Brooks home alone with Mrs.
Brooks. At the trial which has
been in progress in Hendersonville
during th'* past week^ the defense
introduced the self-defense and in
sanity plea with frequent reference
to the "Unwritten Law.*' all of
which had due weight with the jury.
The verdict was reached in two bal
lots. ?.

Oliver October, ' by George Barr
McCutcheon, Begins This Week
Oliver October had a gloomy future.
But his past was brilliant. He had achieved almost every
thing a young man would want. S
He was nearing thirty. And the worst part about it was the
gypsy's prophecy that he would be hanged for a crime he did
not commit, before he had lived three decajdes.
What to do. What to do.
Read all about it in George Barr McCuthcheon's latest novel,
"Oliver October," starting on another page of this week's News.
It is full of thrills, action, and mystery. Start reading it today.

HIGHWAY NO. 28, AS SEEN
BY CHARLOTTE OBSERVER
State Highway No. ziS v;h:'ch
starts at Chimwy Rock and ? un
to Henderson ville, thence to Bre
vard. from which place it hen?fc. out
through the lower borders of
son. Macon. and Clay Count ie-- i'-ito
Murphy. almost. infringing' on Geor
gia territory from Shootin<r Creek to
Hayesville, js going to be known, bt>
fore another Summer passes, as om
of the t cully "Scenic" high" ays (.f
An..;.-rioa. It is being hard-.-urfacid
out of Hender>o'ivil!i- for a distance
of s iniles. when it takes on ; he
black top to Transylvania town of
Rosman. oji the trail of the Fivnv'r
Broad, ami from Rosman to Tdxa
way the grading has been completed
this highway appears to be a little
more than standard width, but 'hi
is probably bi cause of the treruend
ous "cuts'*- through which i: pass
up- and around the. mountains. It was
a heavy job in excavation almost
even* mile of the wav. The sides of :
the mountain^ ere shaved down itr ?
places from distances the height of
two poplar trees one below the other.
Two concrete bridges are yet to span
the tracks of the railroad that runs
from Hendersonville to Toxaway,
and these bridges will be remarkable
more for height than span. From
Toxaway through Cashiers Valley to
Franklin and Hayesville is yet a
large contract in grading and sur- j
facing, and until that work is finish
ed. travel over it will prove rather a
jolt to those who want luxury. When
the highway No. 2N is finally ac
copied by the State nr. a completed
job, it will come into popularity with
tourist travel, for it wi'l open to the
world a part of the State which is
yet unknown to the people. Up
that way is is a section of wild gran
duer for a fact.
