KIWANIS CLUB HOLDS
"INDUSTRIAL" MEET
MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES
IS TOPIC FOR GATHERING
The meeting- of the Kiwanis club
- held Friday night at the Pierce
Moore was one of unusual interest
and well attended. The program
was in charge of Brown Carr and
H. L. Wilson, the subject centering
on the manufacturing interests of
Transylvania county.
Mr. Carr gave the club concrete
figures on the output of the various
industrial plants which Transyl
vania county now has and discussed
in detail the opening and opportun
ities which the county has at this
time for additional industries.
Mr. Wilson spoke of the financial
standing of the different small in
dustries which he visited personally,
and stated that people from outside
would start other manufacturing
enterprises here, finding it no doubt
both pleasant and remunerative.
R. E .Lawrence informed the
club of the unusual plant which we
now have in Transylvania county,
and of which only a few people were
acquainted with, this being the Bre
vard Manufacturing company, who
are at this time manufacturing golf
clubs which they ship all over the
United States and parts of Eng
land. j
The News will publish an account
of the above meeting in subsequent
issues, giving the public more com
plete details concerning the various
manufacturing interests in Transyl
vania county.
The club enjoyed the usual sump
tuous luncheon which Miss Piercy
has been serving all along.
The meeting adjourned with the
usual song, "God Be With You Till
We Meet Agani," very ably led by
the president, W. E. Breese.

CHARLESTON
BREVARD; ASK FOR BOOKLETS
VISITORS LIKED
Apparently our visitors from
Charleston, S.j C. "Historic City of
the Old South'' took home a good re
port of Brevard. The Chamber of
Commerce register contains the
names of thirty-four visitors from
Charleston, S. C., and doubtless there
were more who did not have an op
portunity to visit the Chamber of
Commerce office. Many of those
who did register remarked of the
progress being made here in civic
improvements and general growth as
a tourist center and expressed a
desire to return next year. Mr. J.
Gilmore Smith, President of the
Charleston Board of Trade, in a let
ter to the Chamber of Commerce,
asks that one hundred copies of the
Brevard booklet be sent to their or
ganization for distribution through
the Publicity Halls of that institu
tion. Such a request coming at this
season would indicate an interest in
Brevard and not to engage the at
tention of those who would plan a
vacation.
Othei- cities which have recently
requisitioned quantities of Brevard i
booklets are: Indianapolis, Ind., Cin
cinnati, Ohio, Alton, 111., Bunker
Hill, #I11., Edwardsville, 111., Granite I
City, 111., Greenville, 111., Jerseyvilk:,
III., Roxana, 111., Staunton, Hi., and
Wood River, 111.

Many Cities
| to be Visited
In response to invitations ex
tended by cities in Canada and
throughout the North and East, the
Asheville .Chamber of Commerce or
ganized the Third Goodwill Tour of
this year. W. E. Breese represents
the Brevard Chamber of Commerce
and left on Tuesday night with
other representatives of civic and
industrial interests of Western
North Carolina. The date set for
return is October 10th. One hun
dred and twenty-five reservations,
were made for the Goodwill Tour
ists, all of which were quickly taken
by those to whom the tour was
available. Some last minute appli
cations for space on the special
could not be accommodated.
The "Land of the Sky Special"
with five chartered Pullmans, diners,
a club car, an observation car and
a baggage car provided luxurious
accommodations for the tourists,
meals and entertainment being in
cluded in reservations for the
round trip of twelve days duration.
Indications are that the weather will
be favorable and a delightfully in
teresting trip is anticipated.
The itinerary includes the fol
lowing cities: Harrisburg, Pa., the
state capital of Pennsylvania; Buf
falo, N. Y., shipping and manufac
turing center of the Great Lakes;
Niagara Falls, N. Y., where a visit
to the illuminated falls at night is
planned ? this is the greatest elec
trical spectacle in America; Hamil
ton, Ontario, Canada, a large manu
facturing center and lake port of
considerable importance; Toronto,
Canada, the Provincial capital of
Ontario; Ottawa, Canada, the place
of official residence of the governor
general and location of the Parlia
ment buildings; Montreal, Canada,
the largest Provincial French city
of Canada; Quebec, Canada, the on
ly walled city on the American con
tinent; Portland, Maine, possessing
one of the depest Atlantic ports;
Boston, Mass., seaport and manu
facturing center; Hartford, Conn.,
banking and insurance center; New
York City, greatest and most diver
sified city in the world and Phila
delphia, Penn., the site of the Ses
qui-Centennial Exposition.
The route includes territory from
which many winter visitors are
drawn and it is the object of the
Chamber of Commerce in having a
representative on the tour, to give
greater publicity to Brevard than
has been attempted before in the*
northern territory, in effort to cre
ate a longer season for this com
munity.
During the past two weeks the
office of the Chamber of Commerce
has been busy preparing publicity
material for distribution in connec
tion with the Goodwill Tour.
Twelve hundred and fifty Brevard
booklets are being mailed to a se
lected list of business and profes
sional men in the several cities on
route that have arranged programs
for entertainment of the tourists
and most of the persons to whom lit
erature is being sent are particular
ly interested in the Asheville tour.
In addition to this publicity, two
thousand pieces of advertising mat
ter and Brevard booklets were taken
on the special train for general dis
tribution along the route. Packets
of news stories and clippings of Bre
vard were made up for fifty-four
newspapers in the cities through
which the special train will operate,
to expedite the handling of public
ity matter in the cities visited.
The Brevard scenic film was taken
on the tour and arrangements will
be made for exhibition of the pic
ture in as many cities as is possible
during the short periods the touristi
will remain in the respective cities.
Taking everything into considers
tion, representation on the Third
j Annual Goodwill Tour is the most
pretentious publicity campaign un
dertaken this year by Brevard. The
Asheville Chamber of Commerce
contributed a portion of the ex
pense of the representative from
Brevard, the balance being under
written by the following individuals:
Thos. H. Shipman, H. A. PIummers
R. R. Fisher, Lewis P. Hamlin, W.
E. Breese, W.' McK. Fetzer, F. D
Clement, Dr. E. S. English, Mayo;
T. W.* Whitmire, S. M. Macfie, R. E.
THE PRAYER CORNER
THE HELMET OF SALVATION
THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT
Read Ephesians 6:17.
"Then comes the helmet of salva
tion."
"Salvation will be appointed for
walls and bulwarks," said the old
prophet. When one is safe in Christ,
| one is sheltered. No evil can touch
us if we are near Christ. Your life
is hid with Christ in God.
I
| And now for the offensive armour.
Take the Sword of the Spirit, which
is the Word of God. All other parts
of the armour are for defense.
There is something for every part of
the body, but the back. This sug
gests that the Christian soldier
should never turn his back to the
enemy, for his back is unprotected.
| The only weapon for active, ag
gressive fighting is the sword. It is
called the Sword of the Spirit,- be
cause the Spirit gives it its .sharp
ness and power to thrust into men's
hearts. Jesus Himself gives us an
| object lesson for the use of the
sword: when He met the Tempter
He pierced him with texts of Scrip
ture. We should learn to use the
Sword of the Spirit in the same way.
A Word of God will drive away the
enemies.
A Prayer for the Helmet of Salva
tion and the Sword of the
Spirit
I
Almighty God and Father, in
whom alone is safety, help us to put
on the Helmet of Salvation, for
didst Thou not say by Thy prophet
that Thou wouldst appoint Salvation
for walls and bulwarks. Christ is
our Salvation, safe in Christ we are
sheltered. No evil can touch us if
we are near Him. Our life is hid
with Christ in Thee.
! A helmet covers the soldiers head;
covers our head, for are we not Thy
soldiers and His. And does not the
Helmet mean here a confidence in
Christ's work wrought in us? A good
hope of salvation through our dear
Lord's work guards us frori des
pair, encourages us to JijrK on..
What weapon of our adverr .y '-an
hurt us if we have hope ?-f Divine
mercy?
Above all, enable us to like the
Sword of the Spirit, which is Thy
Word, for Thy Word is a ?S ?> ?r<l ; it
pierces conscience, overthrows ob
stacles, gives us the victor;.. Satan
and his armies fear it.
Teach us to use it 'as The i didst
use it, O Christ, against the Temp
ter. Thou didst pierce him with
Texts of Scripture. So may we
pierce the principalities, the powers,
the rulers of the darkness in high
places with which we wrestle.
Let us so make Thy Word our own
by meditation on Divine Truth
"that we may ever wield it effectual
ly for attack and defense. And
Thine shall be the praise, Father,
Son and Spirit, now and ever. Amen..
