$ -v Have You Bought Your Memorial Coin? VOL. XXXI NEWS A Brevard Auto . Name Plate Is A Visitor's Card BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA, MARCH 25, 1926 k No. 11 i 4 n FARM NEWS By L. A. AMMON We may think that our Commun ity Hatchery is not getting the hatches it ought. After finding out what the Asheville Hatchery, Mrs. Waiis, and many small incubators, at home are getting, we must say that oar Hatchery is doing the best of &Q on an average. The Ashe ville Hatchery with its fine equip ment and high priced operator would be pleased with our hatches. Hie trouble seems to be the same with all. Weak chickens. Not able to get out of the shells. Some say dryness is the cause, but extra amounts of moisture has only toughened the membrane and made it worse. Inquiries to higher authorities -un the subject place the greater part of the trouble on lack of green feed during winter and during pullet growth. The amount of dis eases an dweak hens, indicate that our flocks are not up to standard strength this year. Mr. Parrish, State Poultry Spe cialist, says feed green feeds and make sure of plenty of roosters to make up for the weakness. Seed Potatoes Black Many if not all have noticed much blackness at heart in our home grown Irish potatoes. Mr. W. B. Henderson, of Quebec, sent some typical samples to the State College for examination. The re port was that it was not due to dis ease, but to dry weather. So you need not worry about such for seed, so long as the seed piece is large enough to make up for what is damaged. Baby Chick Week Mr. C. F. Parrish, State Poultry Specialist, is with us this week, in trying to teach the. care and feed ing of .baby chickens to club mem bers and to any adults who wishi to come out. Part of the meetings will be over before this appears, but in time for the 2:30 meeting at Calvert school on Thursday, 7 :30 ; same day at Davidson River school; Friday, 1:30, at Quebec; Lake Toxaway at 2:30, and at Silversteen school, 7:30, p.m. The high points in feeding iabyj chickens, is first, Do not feed till'1, three days old. This has already been demonstrated this year. Do not feed so early. The chick has enough yolk in his body to last sev eral days with water. Second, watch rise in temperature due to body heat of chickens soon after I putting under brooder. Third, give I feeds that have proven good, and : keep some green feeds on hand. Soy Bean Seed Definite orders are wanted be fore we order seed, due to the un certainty of the times. Prices reasonable. REV. J. S. STANBERRY TO PREACH AT CHERRYFIELD Rev. J. S.

BREVARD'S AIRPLANE PUSHED INTO SERVICE ON SUNDAY The popularity of the new air plane, owned by the Brevard Air craft Corporation and operated by Lieut. M. A. C.

Association on Saturday. March 20 opened its 35th series, thu organiz ation having been in existence tor the past 17 years, since 1909. At the opening of the new series on Saturday, 159 shares were taken out. There are at present a total of 3,000 shares, and 127 stock holders in the local association. During the past year the associa-; tion has?" built and improved approx 1 imately 35 homes in Brevard, with j an outlay of $50,000 on the part of j the B. & L. Many of Brevard's beautiful and attractive homos have been made possible through the ac tivities of this association, which i has been a great factor in the beau | tifying and upbuilding program of I the town. . ,v j T. H. Shipman is president of the Brevard' Building & Loan Associa tion, and Mrs. H. E. Perkins is secretary-treasurer. C. OF C. VOTES HINDS FOR CLEAN UP CAMPAIGN Without question the most en thusiastic meeting of the year was held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms on Tuesday evening. More matters of importance to Brevard and Transylvania County were pased upon than have attended any similar meeting during 1926. Bre vard may boast a live Chamber of Commerce which is assisting mater ially in the upbuilding of this com munity. Its members know the meaning of that upbuilding spirit and its committees carry on. A distinguished visitor in Bre vard, Harry Stillwell Edwards, noted journalist and short story writer, at present on the editorial staff of the Atlanta Journal, was invited to ad dress the Directors on the Stone Mountain Confederate Monumental Association campaign for the sale of Brevard's quota of Memorial Coins. In introducing him, Presi dent R. ' W. Everett said Mr. Ed ward's service in connection with the procurement of this coin had been publicly discussed and his ef forts to further the great work as has been within his power, have been appreciated in the North as well as in the South. Mr. Edwards spoke earnestly and with feeling concerning the attitude of the whole country in general toward the great Confederate Memorial and said the association was immensley pleased svith the financial assistance it had ! received from the North. The di rectors voted to assist in the sale of ' Brevard's quota of Memorial Coins j and to this end got behind a move- 1 ment to hoW a mass meeting of the j 1 citizens at which Brevard's own se- I rially numbered coin will be sold at 1 Miction to the highest bidder. The j 1 late for this meeting was set for , ' Saturday afternoon, March 27, at J J:30 o'clock. The meeting will be ' leld on the front steps of the Court 1 House if the weather permits. In rase of inclement weatfeer-the meet- 1 ng will be held in the courtroom. The general careless condition in ' ivhich the streets and alleys have 1 Deen kept, was a subject for discus sion by many of the directors and ' >thers. Supt. W. W .Hanaman de- ' fended the pupils of the schools in ' .his connection and stated that the 1 scholars were being taught the val- I jc of keepifig the school premises and the streets all over the town, free from rubbish and that certain classes were assigned each day, the task of picking -up bits of paper 1 which were carelessly thrown on the school premises. Mayor Whitmire announced the delivery of the re ceptacles for trash which had been ordered previously and they were being distributed to designated places throughout the business sec tions of the town. He also informed the meeting of the purchase by the aldermen of an up-to-date street sweeper which would be delivered within a short time and which when installed, would be the means of having clean, presentable streets at all times. In this connection the directors voted funds to cover the purchase of the necessary display advertising and other literature to be used in a Clean Up, Paint Up Campaign for Brevard and Transyl vania County in effort to create a greater interest in giving this com munity a reputation for being one of the cleanest towns in Western North Carolina. The Women's Bureau, who have had chars? of work in the past will continue to sponsoi the movement b*t will be aided n-.a- 1 terially by the Chamber .if Con j merce. Representatives of th newly formed Riwanis Club of Bre vard also pledged the support oi that organization in this undertak ing. The date ^or the Clean Up, Paint Up Campaign wil! be an nounced at a later date and through the courtesy and co-operation of the Brevard News, much publicity will be given the movement throughout the county. That Brevard will have much publicity throughout the year, is ev idenced by the authorization of ;i larger advertising campaign than har been attempted in previous years. ! Fifteen thousand booklets will i he 'distributed showing why Brefvard has been given a prominent jilacc among the mountain resorts of Wes tern North Carolina, to which! the eyes of the nation are now turned, and inviting tourists and home seek REVIVAL MEETINGS START HERE JUNE 13 Rev. Thurston B. Price, general evangelist of the Methodist church, South, with 'his party, will hold tent meetings in Brevard starting June 13 and contiuing through four weeks. Dr. Price is an able preacher and draws large crowds with his unique style of presenting the old-fashioned gospel, and never fails to hold a sucesaful meeting. Several years practise at the bar as a successful cripiinal lawyer has given him a style of appeal that is almost irre sistible. It is considered very fortunate that Dr. (Price could be secured for Brev&rd, as all his dates were taken for large cities and he was able to come at this time only through a shift of dates. It is hoped that the meeting will be a union meeting of all the churches, pastors and people, and it is assured that if all will co-oper no one will have occasion to regret it. ers to come to this community. In this booklet will be depicted some of the magnificent views of Transyl vania County, which for scenic grandeur can hardly be equalled in Eastern America. It will briefly show the reasons for the continued steady growth which has character ized this community and call atten tion to the unusual opportunities for investment and home building here. As a part of the publicity pro gram, tentative plans were made for broadcasting the outstanding features of Brevard from one of the large Eastern statio*s. As a means of creating greater interest in Brevard throughout W ex tern North Carolina, a committetj was appointed to arrange a series )f meetings to which men interested in Chamber of Commerce work and the general upbuilding of this sec tion would be invited to address spe cial meetings o? this organization, rhe plans of this committee will be j made known as soon as arrange-' :nents are made for speakers. The erection of a modern hotel, nlanned well in advance of the present needs of the town is prac tically assured, according to the re port made by the committee on that project. Three concerns amply financed to promote the erection of a first-class hotel large enough to take care of the anticipated re- 1 nuirements of the town for the next | five years, are interested in a loca tion in Brevard, and it :s expectec that withifi a short time definite plans will be made for the erection 0f a commercial and tour.st hotel which will be equal to any in Wes tern North Carolina in accommoda tions and cuisine. An effort will be made to obtain every available camp and boarding house in the county for the accommodation of the in ux j of tourists and visitors, which this year, promises to be the greatest in our history. . (]l. Mayor Whitmire addressed the meeting with reference to the need of a more beautiful cemetery for Brevard. He stated that such an in stitution was a most important fac tor to many of those who would contemplate making Brevard a per manent residence and at the present time a very beautiful location could b.. secured at a most advantageous price. He urged the Chamber to , get behind a movement to organize I a cemetery association and a com- j mittee of seven members of the Chamber was appointed by the pres- 1 ident as follows: Mayor Whitmire, j cliairman, Messrs. Jenkins, Plum mer, Hampton, Dr. Summey, Mac tie, and Allison. President Everett announced that while the meetings of the Chamb-r of Commerce which are held on al ternating Tuesday evenings are known as Directors meetings, all members are invited to be present and take part in the proceedings. Those who have not been accustomed to attend the Chamber of Commerce business sessions are particiHarly invited to come and hear the inter esting discussions of matters per taining to the welfare of every res ident of Brevard and Transylvania County. The secretary will gladly give information concerning the programs to all who are interested. Another paradox is that only those who remain slaves to art become its masters. y TRANSYLVANIA AT FRONT IN RECENT EDUCATIONAL MEET Since returning from the meeting of the North Carolina Educational Association held in Raleigh last week, County Superintendent T. C. Henderson is of the opinion that Transylvania came in for her share of honors at this gathering of edu cators, that is, in respect to uniform school term throughout the county. Supt Henderson had the privilege of announcing before the association that Transylvania, the county of which he was a representative, will adopt a full nine months school term next September, which new ruling waa made possible by recent popular vote of the citizens of the county. This is a decided honor to Transylvania in that it is the first rural county in the state to provide for -a nine- months school term, and is secorfd of the 100 counties of the state to adopt such a measure. Only one other county, New Han over, of which Wilmington is the principal city, now has a nine months school term. Six other coun ties, however, provide for eight months school term. Mr. Henderson states that he has met with the school committees of the various school districts through out the county and that all are heartily in favor of a nine months term for the school year 1926-27. Sonii! 600 delegates from various ? parts, of the state were in attend ance at this 42nd meeting of the North Carolina Educational Associ ation. THOMPSON M1LLWORK CO. REPRESENTS MANY YEARS IN LINE OF BUSINESS , The Thompson Millwork company, a recently established enterprise in . Brevard, represents a well-estab lished firm, there having been four generations connected wit hthis line of business. Various members of the Thompson family have been in millwork business for fifty-odd years, thus rendering great value to the trade in the long years of ex perience and professional knowledge i passed along* from generation to g generation. i The Brevard firm is a branch of the Z. J. Thompson Lumber com- : panl, of Shelby. The local company i is equipped with all machinery nec essary to make frames and odd mill work and all kinds of inside trim, making a specialty of odd millwork. A full line of framing, sheeting, flooring, shingles and laths is also carried in stock. Sash and doors are shipped from the main office at Shelby. L. F. Thompson is in charge of the Bervard plant, assisted by W. M. Roberts. Mr. Thompson has been here since February, when the es tablishment opened for business. He was joined this weekoby his wife and baby, and they are now living in thfeir recently purchased home ad joining the plant Qn Railroad street. R. L NICHOLSON IS DOING HIS PART Postmaster Nicholson is doing his part in the upbuilding of the town as is shown by the continuous better ment of the mail facilities. Only recently a new cancelling machine was added to the equip ment of the postoffice, and soon the new office building will be occupied, which is also a wonderful improve ment. An order was received this week to extend rural route No. One two miles, thereby serving more fam ilies, and shortening the distance that some patrons were compelled to travel to reach their mail boxes. ? It is known that some patrons ! were compelled to travel nearly 8 ! miles for their mail, and now with [ the new change, they can sit on ' their front porch and see the car rier go by. ' It -seems that while we sleep, Mr. Nicholson is still awake- and plan ning some way to improve the ser vice, and we wonder what the next will be. The patrons of route No. One should be grateful to Mr. Nich olson for this wonderful change and stand ready to co-operate with him in any way possible. Germany will have~ no try-out in the big League this season. THE PRAYER CORNER THE GENTLENESS OF GOD "Thy gentleness hath made me great." Psalms 18:35. On each of the occasions when Gentleness is mentioned in the Bible it is referred to *is A Divine Attri bute. In Psalm 18:35 we have the wonderful statement "Thy Gentle ness hath made me great." Could any description of the influence of gentleness exceed the simplicity and beauty of this? And who docs not feel how essentially true it is? We all know how terribly rough ness and violence degrade and be little. Do we not feel at once that a Divine Gentleness must delight to triumph by inviting human beings to rise up, and be their most and their best? Where, except in the Bible, do we meet with a God who delights in hiding His power and even in divests ing Himself of it, that He may win the confidence of His creatures for their good, and may afford them such scope for their liberty, that they may become great enough to enjoy His intercourse, and be a source of rejoicing to Him? "I have read the Bible through a hundred and fifty times," said an old saint in his ninety-first year, "and I have come to see that God is an infinitely lovely Being." That was Bible reading to some "purpose. God's Gentleness has been shown to us, not only in the Revelation, but in the very manner of it. "He stooped to bless And stooping raised us; And the tenderness Which loomed in pity on a world of sin Long years ago Still waits with Love to call tlw na tions in, Till all shall know, How man may rise to God in Holi ness Because He stoopod so low." A PRAYER FOR THE GENTLENESS OF GOD 0 Thou God of Gentleness, teach us to be gentle that we may b< great with Thine own greatness ? the greatness of humility. We know how simple and beauti ful the description of the influence ?f gentliness as the Psalmist de scribes it is. Do we not fee! how essentially true it is too? We ali know how 'erribly roughness and violence degrade and belittle our nature. Do v'e not all feel at once, that Thy Divine gentleness must de light to triumph by inviting us to rise up and be our most , and our best. Nowhere but in tiic Bible do we meet with a God, who like Thee, de lights in hiding His power and even in divesting Himself of it, that ll<> may win the ?onfidence of His crea tures for their ,'ood, and may af ford them such scope tor '?>">"? lib erty, that they beconu great enough to enjoy His intercourse, and be a source of rejoicing to Him. O Thou God of Gentleness! May we," like the eld saint, .so reaii our Bibles that we may come to see that Thou, our God, art an infinitely lovely being, so shall our Bible read ing be to some purpose, for Thy Gentleness has been shown to us not only in the Revelation, but in the very manner of it. Thou God of Gentleness didst stoop to bless, and stooping, raised us, and the tenderness which looked in pity on a world of sin Jong years ago still waits in love to call the nations in till shall know? how man may rise to God in Holiness, because Thou didst stoop so low in Jesus Christ, Thy beloved Son, that in Thy Gentleness we might lu great in Him, Amen. ?
