FARM NEWS
(By L. A. AMMON)
Better than two thousand hens
are now listed for the blood test for
white diarrhea. Applications must
be sent in at. once if the work is
put through in time for hatching
this year.
Some people would like to enter
the poultry business in a commer
cial way, but lack the cash. If
those wishing to invest with reli
able farmers will let it be known I
will be glad to help get the two to
gether.
Jack Frost during the past weeks,
did much killing, but much is yet
alive. No damage done to speak of, 1
as all were ready, and many wish
ing for a frost to kill the weeds and
grasses, so potatoes, and plowing1
could be done easier. ?
Wanted ? The best of the crops to
take to the Westcrrn N. C. Fair at!
Asheville on the ninth of Novem
, ber, to show the peijple what we are
doing. Bring to my office. Not
the largest of everything, but the
best.
Cattle are moving around the
four cent mark, with extras bring
ing five cents. Looks as if there
will be an extra large number fed
this winter.
The shoat price is around fifteen
cents for the best, down to tea
cents for mountain raised pigs.
"Hard to find," is the usual remark,
Irish potatoes are very spotted
in yield, some very good, some very
- poor. One-fifty is about the aver
age market.
The larger acreages of potatoes
are already contracted for, and will,
not glut the home market.
A gentleman has been discussing
with me, the project of putting in
a small factory here to cure hams
and bacon. Would use quite a few
hogs, and as he states the market is
good for this more or less home
cured meat. The Hampshire and
Tamworth hogs being the ones most
ly used.
The car of gurnsey heifers, we
were to have gone for this week,'
were sold before w? started. Look
ing for more.
Rye prices are being cut heavy to
see if it can be moved.
Why . not a community < amp for
the Scouts, Extension clubs, and the
many outside clubs that would come
fi we had one. Would around
five thousand, and as ?i Km-ky Bot
tom, should be self supporting.
Look out for the cows and pigs
these cool nights, a ready starting
trouble. Keep warm and give room
? to exercise some. The latest dope
on keeping these tv < animals heal
thy is to see that ' y have plenty
of mineral matter, -.d the secret is
that unless they have direct sun
light," they cannot use the minerals,
especially lime.
COMMUNITY NIGHT SCHOOL
IS ORGANIZED IN BREVARD
A committee composed of repre
sentatives of the various clubs and
organizations of the town met Tues
day afternoon ^o perfect plans for
the opening of a community night
school here within the near future.
This undertaking will be sponsored
by the different local federated'
clubs, and it is hoped that additional ,
funds will be secured fro the com- '
munity chest drive to help defray
the expenses.
Miss Mary L. Butler, principal of
the Blantyre school, has been se
cured as the head of the night
school, and Mrs. C. P. White and
Mrs. R. Y. Neel have volunteered
their services as assistant teachers.
The school will continue in session
six weeks, meeting two nights each
week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and
will be carried on mainly for the
adult illiterates in the town and
county. It is hoped that all ar
rangements will be completed for the
opening of the school not later than
the middle of November.
BREVARD WINS FROM CHRIST
SCHOOL IN FAST GAME, 1-0
In a fast game played here last
FHday, Brevard high won from the
Christ School ele\*?n in a forfeit
game 1-0. The Christ School coach
took his players off the field with
only about one minute to play, after i
he refused to recognize a penalty
for off sides.
The teams were evenly matched
throughout the game, furnishing
plenty of excitement for the large
crowd of fans.
Jack Trantham was again the star
of the game, although the entire
team played an extra good game. I
JOSEPHUS DANIELS
SPOKE TUESDAY
A crowded house of men and
women greeted Josephus Daniels,
former Secretary of the Navy, at the
court house Tuesday night when he
spoke for more than an hour on the
political issues of the day. W. E.
Bieese introduced to the audience
a fellow townsman and attorney, H.
E. Martin, who in turn introduced
Mf. Daniels, the speaker of the even
ing.
Mr. Daniels dwelt mainly on the
national issues, emphasizing the cor
ruption in the Republican primaries,
Newberryism, high tariff, Republican
prosperity issues, giving quite at
length a revrew of the Teapot Dome
affair and calling attention to the
failure of the present administra
tion to bring about a settlement of
the matter, and paying tribute to
the Democratic leaders who figured
prominently in the case. Mr. Dan
iels closed his timely remarks with a
few words about the home and its
ideals in relation to politics, about
the progress in education in North
Carolina within the past 50 years,
and bemoaning the fact that every
county in the state has not adopted
the nine months uniform school law,
stating in this connection that he was
-lappy to be in a county which had
adopted the nine months school
term.
The noted speaker made a final
appeal for all voters to take enough
interest in political affairs to go
-o the polls and vote at the coming
election, and gave an . especial tri
bute to women in politics stating
that women voters are needed to
give fresh ideas and impulses to
make our government worthy of the
highest ideals.

JOHN CHAPMAN DIES
FROM HEAD WOUNDS;
TWO S. C. MEN HELD
PRELIMINARY HEARING WILL
BE HELD THURSDAY
John Chapman, of the East Fork
section, died here Sunday morning
at Transylvania hospital, following
a stroke of paralysis suffered last
Thursday morning, caused, it is
claimed, by the direct result of
wounds received four weeks ago in
an alleged fight with Richard Edens
and Carl Lynch, of Pickens, S. C.,
when Chapman was attacked and
severely beaten by the two men and
left for dead about half a mile off
the highway near his home, after
he had consented to help the two
men with a wrecked car on the
Greenville road. A coroner's in
quest found Chapman died as the
result of a blow on the head. Lynch
and Eden are both held in the Bre
vard jail pending a preliminary
hearing Thursday morning. The two
men were arrested in Pickens within
two hours after Chapman's death,
having been caught and brought to
Brevard by Rural Policeman Eck
Sims. \
At the time of the ajleged fight,
about four weeks ago, Chapman was
seriously wounded by a blow^on the
head with some blunt instrument,
supposedly being struck over ;ti?e
head by Eden with a pistol, Chaf\
man claiming he was knocked un
conscious, taken a half mile from
the scene of the fight, thrown into
an old sink hole, covered over with
grass and brush and left for dead.
After four hours of unconsciousness
in this place, Chapman revived and
returned to his home. Officers were
summoned and the two men arrested
on charges of assault with deadly
weapon. Lynch was later acquitted
and Eden released on $800 bond.
THE PRAYER CORNER
TWO PATHS IN FRIENDSHIP
"We took sweet counsel together,
and walked unto the House of God
in company" ? Psalms 55:14.
There are two paths in Friend
ship, UP and DOWN.
What are you seeking in human
intercourse? It is said that a man
may be known by the company he
keeps. Not a ways. He may be bet-'
! ter known by the purpose with
which he keeps it.
The Pharisees kept company with
respectable folk, and found dead
i mens bones. Christ kept company
' with publicans and dinners, and s
I found hidden treasure.
If you are seeking in your fellow
men that which ministers to ambi
tion, or- avarice, or sen.suajjty, ?r
trying to make friends- timely in or
der that they may help you to se
cure certain advantage? in the world
of wealth or fashion, or, for,mng
ties of intimacy whose chief attrac
tion lies in their appeal to that
which is selfish and greedy and base
in your nature, then you are -surely
on the descending path.
( But if you are looking for that
which is best in the men and women,
with whom you come into contact;
if you are seeking also t<> give them
that which is best in yourself; if
you are looking for friendship
which shall help you to Know your
self as you are, and to fulfil yourself
ias you ought to be, am! for a love
| which shall be a true s. miradeship
| and a mutual inspiration to all no
I bility of living, then you are surely
on the ascending path.
| I do not, cannot ask for you a
lesser blessing, than GOD'S OWN
! LOVE. To dwell with Him, and
j all His boundless wealth possessing
| in Heaven above. For you and I
are waiting here as stringers ? still
| bound for Home ? Abiding midst
j earth's darkening shade? and many
dangers ? till God says "Come.1'
I ""I
j A PRAYER FOR THE UPWARD
i PATH IN FRIENDSHIP
. ' '
I 0 Thou Infinite Friend, whose
Friendship sure has been *he same
forevermore, help us ever *-> walk in
the Upward Path of Friendship.
Let us never seek in c:ir fellow
men that which minister;, to ambi
tion, or avarice, or sensuu-ity, or try
jto make friends simply ir crder that
| they may help us to secure certain
' advantages in the woiic <.i wealth
j or fashion, or form ties of "intimacy
whose chief attraction lit-' in their
: appeal to that which is selfish and
' greedy and base in ojir ..ature, for
'then we are surely on the Descend
ing Path.
' But give us grace to look for that
which is best in the men ;.:id women
! with whom we come i:i contact,
1 seeking to give them th;a which is
'best in ourselves, ever locking for
I a friendship which shall hslp us to
know ourselves as we ought to be,
and for a love which shall be a true
comradeship and a niutu:.! inspira
tion to all nobility of living. So
] shall we know that we are surely on
jthe Upward Path in Friendship, and
the Blessing of Gods own love shall
t be ours, and we shall dwell with
j Him in Heaven, for we j.rr- strang
(ers and Pilgrims here or earth,
[abiding midst its darkening shades
i and many dangers, till God says
i "Come."
, Grant this, Thou Infinite Friend,
'whose Friendship for us ha-- been the
same, always pure and .steadfast,
we ask it in Christ's Name, who has
ever been the Friend of t::j friend
less and the Helper of the halpless,
and ever will be, Amen.
