N.C.STATeS)AD :
TO TRAIN HERE IN '27 j
"""S? ?"i
The N. C. State football squad,
who left Saturday morning for Ra
leigh, after two week's training at
Lake Sega, will return here for the
fall training in 1927.
Coach Gus Tebell, in speaking of
the training quarters at Sega and of
this vicinity said, "In all probability
we will be here next fall for our
workout. The field at Lake Sega is
an ideal place for practice; the cli
mate here well adapted for hard
work, in that the days are cool
enough to allow for "the full uni
form, thus giving the boys a chance
to become accustomed to the feel
of their harness before entering in
to real play without becoming too
warm. And all -the boys seem well
pleased with the surroundings."
The first game of the season to be
played by the Wolf pack will be Fri
day of this week when they meet
Elon college at Raleigh. Coach
TebeH is not worried over the out
come of this game. On October
ninth they play Clemson (S. C.) at
Clemson. This game will probably
be witnessed by a large crowd of
Brevard spectators.

Have Chance To Helpj
I On receipt of a telegram from
John Barton Payne, of the Red
Cross headquarters in Washington,
a meeting of the Transylvania chap
ter of Red Cross was called by
chairman J. S. Silversteen, and an
organization was perfected for the
solicitation of subscriptions to assist

generous manner will respond with
open hearts to the appeal of the

I hope that this paper will be care
fully read by those in the school in
order that each school may keep in j

preserved for future readings. Old ?
files of the paper are often read
with much interest. j
"I would like to see each school '
furnish a News correspondent, giv-'
ing an account of the important
happenings in the district and work1
in- the school in order to show that '
we appreciate the splendid publicity

FEDERAL MEN CAPTURE
TWO "BAD MEN" NEAR
TRANSYLVANIA LINE
A posse of Federal officers,
headed by Chief Deputy Marshall
Bailey and accompanied by Pro
hibition Agent Owen captured
Frank and Fred Mc-Call, twins,
just across the Transylvania
line in Jackson county early
Wednesday morning:.
These men had been arrested
two years past by a Federal
agent on a count of manufac
turing but made their escape
and since had defied the law,
avowing to kill the man who
tried to arrest them, with spe
cial emphasis attached to the
name of W. W. Owen.
The officers made their way
to the home of the two boys at
4:30 Wednesday morning and
demanded entrance, which was
refused by the occupants, they
telling the officers to come in
at their peril, asserting that the
use of high powered rifles and
pistols would be used to block
any attempt to arrest them.
However, the officers were
not to be so easily scared off,
as one of thein put it, "After I
all night in the rain, we wanted |
what we went after." A log
was used to batter down the door
after persuasion had failed and
the two men nabbed before gun
play could be started.
Three high powered rifles
and two pistols were found in
the home.
The two men will be tried at
the November term of Federal
court in Asheville, on charge of i
manufacturing.

THIRTY-SIXTH SERIES
!
I
I
DURING 17 YEARS OF SERVICE
HAS LOANED $370,000
. The Brevard Building & Loan as-|
sociation opened its 36th series on '
Saturday, September 20th, having 1
been in operation since 1909, and a
decided increase in business is noted
over previous years. Since the op
ening1 of the new series, 200 shares
have been taken out, there being a
total of 3,500 shares in the different
series. The association is com'
prised of 235 stockholders. ' I
The organization is experiencing
an encouraging and steady growth
from year to year and is now rec
ognized as one of Brevard's im
portant assets. During the 17 years
of its service to the community, the
association has loaned $370,000 to {
the people of the town and county I
'and has built and improved 270
homes in Transylvania county. j
Since January first the association
has loaned $45,000 , and has built .
and helped improve 20 homes, which
is but another proof of the growth
of the town and county and shows
the part the local association is
taking in this growth. j
In 1915 the association listed its
assets as $44,700, and the audit at
the beginning of the year showed
assets of $156,998, representing an
increase of $112,298 during the 10,
year period. The assets at the pres- ,
ent title are estimated at $179,375. 1
Ma/iy of Brevard's attractive I
homes have thus been made pos
sible through the activities of this
association, which has been a great
"factor in the beautifying and up
building program of the town.
THos. H. SEipman is president of
the Association, J. M. Allison is
vice-president, and Mrs. H. E. Perk
ins is secretary - treasurer. The
board of directors is composed of
W. M. Henry, J. H. Tinsley, S. M.
Macfie, C. C. Yongue, R. W. Ever
ett, J. M. Allison and T. H. Shipman.
BROAD ST. PAVING
IS NOW COMPLETE
SIDEWALK TO BE FINISHED AT
EARLY DATE
The work of widening and re
paving Broad street from Jordan
street to the Rosman highway is now
completed and forms one of Bre
vard's most attractive thorough
fares.
The street has been widened to
75 feet, including curb and gutter,
and recovered with sheet asphalt, in
conformity with the width and kind
of paving now in evidence from the
north extension of Broad street to
Probarte avenue to the Rosman
highway, a distance of four blocks.
This South Broad street construc
tion work involved an expenditure
of $22,000.
A concrete sidewalk on the east
side of this street is now under con
struction and will be completed at
an early date.
The street leading to the tannery
is also included in the present pav
ing program and construction work
on same is completed.
The hard surfacing of these two
important streets practically com
pletes the 1925-26 paving program
for Brevard, which .includes around
six miles of paved streets and nine
miles of concrete sidewalks . This
work was made possible by the
town's $550,000 bond issue.

NEAR BREVARD NEXT SUMMER
Camp Perryann, a camp to be op
erated exclusively for Jewish girls,
will open here sext summer, under
the' directorship and ownership of
Mrs. Luther Pushell. The camp site

eled and enlarged to meet the de
mands of a first class, modern camp
for girls. The formerly used tent
structures will be replaced by com
fortable cottages, tne assemDiy nan

THE PRAYER CORNER
THE PREPARATION OF THE
GOSPEL OF FAITH
The Shield of Faith
Read Ephesians 6.
The Christian must put on his feet
the preparation of The Gospel of
Peace. The soldier needs strong
shoes for rough roads. The Chris
tian needs good shoes too, for much
( of the way is hard and steep. There
, is an old Bible word about shoes
| of iron which God promises to give
to His pilgrims when they have to
walk over sharp roads.
i There is a beautiful legend of
'Jesus which says that one day, when
|He was walking by the sea, bein;;
weary, He took off his sandals to
bathe His feet in the pure cool
water. Then He murmured to Him
self, "Three years, three years, and
then poor feet, the cruel nails will
come and make you bleed. But that
blood will save all weary feet in their
painful way." Christ's feet bled
and were hurt on the hard, and with
the nails, that we might have shoes
to wear in lifes rough paths.
But all this preparation will be
? useless unless we take the Shield of
Faith, wherewith to quench all the
fiery darts of the Evil One. The an
cient shield was large enough to
cover all the person, and it was made
so that darts striking it would not
go through it.
Faith is the Christians shield.
The Evil One is always trying to
wound us with his darts. These are
oft times poisoned, or they are
fiery ? lifes temptations are terrible,
but if we are truly in Christ, noO?
of these darts can touch us ? they
will be quenched in the shield we
carry.
A Prayer for The Preparation of the
Gospel of Pe?ce, and The Shield
Of Faith
0 Thou Almighty Protecting God,
I help us to shod our feet with The
' Preparation of The Gospel of
: Peace, for there are rough road.s,
much of our way is hard and steep,
jand oft times we have to walk over
sharp roads. Give us, Thy pilgrims,
'shoes of iron that we may walk
lover them unwounded. Show us
that the shoes with which we are
shod means a ready mind to do
good. Such readiness befits Thy
servants, O Christ, who have heard
the message of Salvation and are
proclaim it everywhere.
| Teach us that our feet are guarded
agaipn^ amputation when we are dil
l-lgtfnt ig bringing other souls to
' Christ; when we help with means
and prayersjin all good works; that
those feejr are blessed that run
' readily to accomplish an errand of
jlove. Expedition belongs to our
shoes, we are so shod that we may
move with alertness over all sorts of
1 ground.
Above all enable us to take The
Shield of Faith, wherewith we shall
be able to quench all the fiery darts
of the Evil One. God has spoken,
we believe Him. Faith is our shield.
We trust Him, and this preserves us
from excessive distress or doubt.
. We turn our shield against all as
isaults of the enemy, whether he at
I tacks our life or our peace. No
shaft of malice, no arrow of fear,
can pierce the soul that holds such
1 a shield.
Help us, O Lord, to use our
( shield of Faith skilfully, and al
ways have it ready against tempta
tion. So shall we be able to stand
against the stratagems of the Evil
One. And this we ask for Thy
sake, O Jesus, our Lord and Saviour,
Amen.
