I I R E YARD BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA, MARCH 17, 1927 No. 11 ^n^twMnc^Delight^MeehD^or t ' ' P.? T. Aaiociation with )^>ltndiii Addren ^ Featurinythe high school Parent ?Teacher meeting Monday afternoon was an address by the president, Mrs. R. E. Lawrence, on the sub ject "Learning how to live," being a psychological study, deep in meaning, and presented In a scholarly manner. The subject was presented in such manner as to be applicable to the every day problems of parents and teachers in dealing with the many perplexities and difficult situations pertaining to children of the school age. Mrs. Lawrence mentioned three types of human beings with refer ence to their relation to child train ing, including the salesman type, in which the parent or teacher is al ways selling himself to the child re gardless of consequences; the imi tator type, which includes those who possess no originality or real thought of their own: and then the instruc tor type, including those who have the ability to bring about a change in an individual, creating in him ; latent powers for good. This change or re-creation, is something of which all human beings are capable, , asserts the speaker, and is the- un derlying principle and foundation of all educational problems. The value of contrasts was stressed by Mrs. . Lawrence in dealing with boys and girls on the part of 'parents and , teachers, urging them to make use of their psychological opportunity in the varied methods -*>f appealing to children of different temperaments j and to use this privilege in such way : as will not later be regretted. Prior to the president's address, ! devotionals were led by Mrs. Oliver j Orr, giving a helpful Bible study on I the lesson of the Good Samaritan. 1 Mrs. C. P. Wilkins rendered a piano | solo. "Mighty Like a Rose." Supt. Hnnaman spoke of the deficit on the i school piano fund and a discussion followed as to methods of meeting additional payments. Mrs. J. S. Sil- , versteen presented the matter of 1 the federated clubs sponsoring Cot- 1 ton Day to be observed among the hiph school girls, and Mrs. Lawrence , offered, in behalf of the association, ! to give personally a sum to be used ? toward the prize fund in this cotton1 dress contest. * LADIESMGHfAT KIWANIS MEETING Friday night of this week will he Ladies Night at the Kiwanis meet ing.

ATTORNEY Matter to be Decided in Greensboro Today ? Large Crowd from j County at the Meeting Members of the republican state executive committee are meeting in j Greensboro today for the purpose of | making recommendations for ap- 1 pointmcnts to the various posts to , be filled as a result of the creation : of the new federal court in Nortk i Catolina. Brownlow Jackson, of j liendcrsonville. is chairman of the committee. Among: the places to be filled is | that of district attorney for the j Western District of North Carolina. I Transylvania county is deeply inter- j ested in the meeting today becaust one of her own sons is a leading candidate for this office. Lewis P. Hamlin, well known throughout this section, is being urged by his hun dreds of friends for the place of | district attorney. Several Transyl- j vania citizens arc in Greensboro this j week, working for Mr. Hamlin's ap pointment. , The Brevard man is being opposed for the place by Thomas J. Harkins of Asheville and Charles E. (ireene of Bakersville Thursday's meeting will ascertain the will of the majority of the ex ecutive committee, and this expres sion will be forwarded to the At torney General of the United States and to President Coolidge. masonsToerect LODGE BUILDING Next Friday night has been set aside by Dunns Rock Masonic lodge for the purpose of deciding upon selecting of a site upon which to build a Masonic Temple. Members of the Lodge have been engaged in a study of the plans for. sometime and final selection, it is said, will be made at the special meeting Friday night. Many sites are being consid ered by the committee, and any one having property for sale that would be adaptable for the site of such building can list same with C. C. Yongue, chairman of the committaa. TO ABANDON TRAIN MAIL ON SUNDAYS Postoffice authorities are debating the nuestion of giving Rr. Mail Clerk Shook his Sundays off. The authori ties are desirious of obtaining an ex pression of opinion from the patrons served by the Sunday trains before taking final action on the matter. As the schedule now stands, the railway mail clerk is required to work seven days a week. To abandon train mail service on Sundays would have but two effects upon patrons of the Brevard office, it is said, There would be no regis tered mail accepted for dispatch on Sunday, and all letters intended to leave Brevard Sunday morning would have to be mail at the office instead of on the train at the station. All out going mail, except registered let ters, and all incoming mail will be i handled as usual. As to mail in gen- i eral it would not affect Brevard at | all, with the exception of the regis tered mail and mailing letters on the train. - Pouch mail can be sent, under the j proposed change, to any office along the line that such service may be de- 1 sired. Interested parties are request ed to speak to Postmaster Roscoe Nicholson about the m&ttef, as it i? | his and the department's desire, it is said, to do nothing that is not o. k. with the public. WILSON BACKAS ROAD SUPERVISOR At a meeting of the road commis- 1 sions held last Friday afternoon, T. , J. Wilson was renamed as road su- 1 pervisor for Transylvania county. During the time that Mr. Wilson was in legislature, Mr. Flem Glazener acted as supervisor. The commission also appointed Eck Sims as rural policeman and his whole time will be devoted to patrol of the highways. An act of the re cent legislature places this office un der the control of the road commis sioners. Heretofore the office "'''bad been under the supervision of vhe board of county commissioners. Many citizens have been heard to express the opinion that Mr. Sims 'will render valuable service in this position, not only in making the | highways safe for travel, but that hit uniform courtesy to strangers and visitors who arc using the high ways will prove of great value i.o '."he county as a whole.

SECRETARY ALEXANDER RETURNS FROM TRIP THROUGH SOUTH ALL PEPPED UP | Few chambers of commerce if any, in the United States operating in cit ies of less than 10,000 population have undertaken a publicity cam- j paign of such magnitude as that of | the Brevard Chamber which covered i Florida. New Orleans and the Mem phis territory. This is the general j way the southern newspapers com- i mented upon the trip recently made by Bill Alexander, the local secre tary of the Chamber of Commerce. It was the first step in an adver tising campaign to bring people to Brevard which is unquestionably the biggest ever undertaken by the Bre vard Chamber of Commerce and promises to be effective particularly as concerns the vacationists who seek golf as the primary requisite of their recreational trips, and as the Lake land, Florida Evening Ledger put it, "Brevard is leaning heavily on golf to get people to that resort." The excellent cooperation of J. II. Wood, district passenger agent of the Southern Railway materially as- ' sisted Secretary Alexander in* got- , ting in touch with sources of travel information in the territory visited, and in the efficient distribution of publicity material which was taken on the trip. Every courtesy Was ex tended Mr. Alexander in tne offices of the Southern System in the sec- ' tions through which it operated. Three thousand pieces of advertis- j ine matter were shipped to Jackson ville, Fla., in bulk and from that point distributed to the various places on the itinerary. This ma terial consisted largely of the "Land ! of the Waterfalls" booklet issued by the Brevard Chamber of Commerce, i The East Coast of Florida as far south as Titusville and Indian River City, Central Florida and the West Coast section including St. Peters burg, Tampa, and Clearwater, which .sections appear to have attracted the I largest number of tourists in Florida i this season were worked closely. ! Personal contact was made with ' chambers of commerce, infomation bureaus, railroad ticket agents and Ask Mr. Foster offices in the cities visited, publicity material placed on the information counters and racks and a message of Brevard's facili ties for entertaining her visitors was given to all who were met and found interested in a vacation in the moun tains. From a standpoint of newspaper publicity the trip was undoubtedly a success. The newspapers through out the southeast, from the small weekly to the largest city dailies were liberal in the space devoted to accounts of the trip and publicity of a kind that cannot be bought at regular newspaper rates was ob tained in many places. Contrary to the information that had been received in Brevard, Sec retary Alexander said, the amount of tourist travel in the parts of Florida visited appeared to be nor mal. Jacksonville and Tampa being commercial cities are experiencing almost notmal conditions and St. Petersburg with 125,000 tourists at the peak season is apparently satis fied with this winter's vacation seas on. A survey of the newspaper adver tising rates coverage of the entire of Florida was obtained for filing reference in connection with the ad vertising campaign that is contem plated by the Chamber of Commerce as a means of increasing the ..ourisl travcJ to ths community during the coming season. This information wilf'Tie available to any who are in terast^ in advertising hotels or (continued on back page) Transylvania County Stands Second Introduction of Corn to the Acre Transylvania county is second county in the state in production of corn to the acre; sixth in the stand ing for production of soy beans to the acre; ranks high in production of grass and clover, and can become one of the richest counties in the state, size taken into consideration. | These facts were stressed at the , meeting: of the Kiwanis club last Friday evening by District Agent John Goodman, who was one of the ; invited speakers of the evening. I Yet Transylvania county is not] tilling her acres, therefore the citi zens are not getting the wealth that) awaits them in the rich soils of the ? county. Unfavorable market condi tions of the past have tended to j hinder agriculture. Mr. Goodman, brought a message of the easy estab- ! lifrhment of a certain market for grains and grasses grown in the I fertile fields. Cattle and hogs, fed on the grass and grains of the farms, is the market that Mr. Goodman , talked about. He showed how much j more a bushel of corn is worth, when } sold in beef cattlc or fat hog, than it is when sold merely as a bushel of corn. -Prices of hay and grasses were treated in the same manner. ! Meat producing animals, dairy cattle and poultry will make Transy lvania county stand at the very top of the row, Mr. Goodman said. But farmers must remember they are producers, and not merchants. They ought to producc in quantity and quality, and sell wholesale. The. program was in charge of L. A. Ammon, county farm agent, and the state officials 'were brought here through his invitation- After the address of Mr. Goodman, which waB thoroughly enjoyed, "Jimmie" Gray was introduced. Mr. Gray is sta tioned at Raleigh, one of the high officials in the farm extension work of the state. He is well known here, having taught school years ago at the Institute. Mr. Gray brought home to the Kiwanians the importance of agri- 1 culture to all business. Agriculture must prosper, if there be general business prosperity, the speaker de clared, and when agriculture laps, all business lag?. Mr. Gray warned his hearers that agriculture is now in a most critical condition. It is, naturally a slow business, that of farming. The farmers have been working as individuals, and many of them have failed or refused to keep | (continue J on back page) FIFTY-FIFTY HAD THE CROWD I AND MORE THAN MADE GOOD\ : , I.ocal amateurs displayed excellent ? talent in "Fifty-Fifty," a Jiree-acl , farce staged by five younj? ladies and I five young men, Friday nipht at the hiph school auditorium for the ben efit of the P.revard Municipal burl.

Wilson, being among other things a farmer, is not ho de sirous of publicity, but doesn't mind ; telling the world that he believes there is money in farming Transyl vunia county, and thut pigs are ' money makers. Late last June Mr. Wilson's best brood sow dropped thirteen pigs. ! Two were rather, small. To help, the mother in nursing such a family, ; 100 pounds of fish meal was bought to supplement her feed. To this was added butter milk, green feeds, corn and rye meals. The old sow put out the goods and the pigs took it, so they made exceptionally good gains, and were soon helping themselves to the mother's feed, as all good pigs I should do. Grow! You could al most sec them put on the pig. The idea of seeing how much the litter could be made to weigh . at.i killing time, struck Mr Wilson, so ! all were kept and furnished pasture, slop and grain. Day by day they j approached the ton, and long before > ready to kill for local consumption ; they had reached the ton. | J One by one the pigs were killed H and sold at 1G cents per pound, un- ' til the last of February when the | J last of the litter was ready. The j l sum of the weights in dressed form'] added up 2,727 1-2 pounds, bring- ? ing Mr. Wilson, or his wife, we are 1 not sure which, the sum of $436.40. M Can you beat it? ? This is not the only income from , 1 livestock from this farm. There I * will be better than thousand dol- j lars from other pigs and cattle, and I all told Mr. Wilson feels that he will sell around sixteen hundred dol- M lars worth of cattle and pigs. 'Mr. ) Wilson feels that others can do it P if they will go to work and do it. p THE PRAYER CORNER CHRISTIANS |< ' "In solemn truth, I tell you that I unless you turn, and become like lit tle children, you will in no case be ? . admitted into the Kingdom of the'' Heavens." ? Matthew 18:3 (Wey moUth's^Trahslation.) The Christian life is a life in Christ, lived in the faith of Christ, "Who loved me and gave Himself for me." That is its strength, in spiration and victory. It is a life also with -a great ambition "for me to live is Christ." To be all that the man Christ Jesus was. To bear branded upon my character the marks of His most holy life. To ! have ever in my heart this one pas sionate purpose? to win Christ. To know Him. to follow Him, to be like Him, and so to be His disciple. i Christ uses a child as expressive J of the true spirit of His Divine j ' kingdom. He is, of course, con- 1 cerned with the characteristic fea- f I tures of the child life, simplicity,,! naturalness, humility. These things, J.! as seen in a child, are to be the ! outstanding features of the followers j of Christ, of Christians, for the I keeping of Christ for the uses of I ; Christ, and to th" glory of Christ. John Wesley is said once in ah dream, to have found himself at the ' gate of the place of woe, through j i which multitudes were passing, and :i he asked the porter, who they were, i Were there Catholics going in there? Plenty of them. Were there Prot- i tstants? Plenty of them. Wen* there Presbyterians? Plenty of,1 them. Were there Baptists? Plenty of them. Were there Wesleyans? , Plenty of them. (I may add, were i there Episcopalians? Plenty of them) Then is his dream, he was suddenly 1 1 at the gate of Heaven and when heij asked the porter earnestly, "Are 1 1 there many Wesleyans inside?" h "Not one." "What?" "Are there many Baptists?" "Not one," "Who] then? Presbyterians?" "Not one."!' "Catholics?*' "Not one." (I may add, j Episcopalians? Not one.) "Then who ( are inside?" "Only Christians." , It is the childlike spirit which finds j the open door. Childlikneness is the open sesame into glory after glory in the unsearchable riches of Christ. ' Childlikenes? is the very key. It is j ; the very secret of the Lord. Repeat, the text. I A PilAVEH FOR CHRISTIANS O Thou C':;:'i<t ?>f Cod, who loved ! us and gave Thyself for us. Help us never to forget the solemn truth ' that unless we turn and become like I little children, we will in no case I bo admitted into Thy kingdom in j1 Heaven.

FEEDING CHICKS TOO EARLY CAUSE OF MANY DEATHS Overheat it Another Source of Great Lou Among B?by Chicks ? 90. it Plenty High BLACK PEPPER GOOD FOR GREAT MANY ILLS Cold* Among Baby Chicks Hard to Handle Care During Frist Days Important (By L. A .Amman) Both experienced and unexper ienced poultrymen lose consider able numbers of baby chickens each year through feeding too early. , Those who have studied the causes of death in baby chicks are all agreed that feeding too early is the greatest source of trouble. I have cut open hundreds during the past three year*, and have found that about? eight out of ten still had considerable unused yolk of egg stored in the large intestines. This yolk of egg is taken in ii* very clean conditions, and. no decay or disease germs are present, but' when you feed them before this yolk is digested, the feed you give them has on it millions of ^11 man ner of germs. Those causing decay being tile greater. When this feed passes down the system to the yolk, t carries germs along, and these germs find the egg ari ideal food and set to work, causing the forma tion of gases, and water, plus va rious kind? of poison bodies. Tho ?ffect on the chickens' flesh is first to make it red, and by time death ?omes many are in a mortified con dition. ' : ?? The best thing to do is to try to prevent the trouble. Three days till first feed has not proven safe for all and especially leghorns. It s my belief that up to six days ivould not be too Ion;* for some iiir iividual chicks, but too long to starve others. Then to hit a nedium is about the best most can Jo. If you have more than one jrooder> separate uhe babies into two rlasses, the alert ones and the dow ones, and feed the slow ones.

Strong, of Miami, Florida, are interesting vis itors in Transylvania, having taken the beautiful home of Mrs. Bates Patton at Davidson River for a time. The visitors speak highly over this section, giving unstinted praise to the beauties of the entire county. Mr. and Mrs. Strong have a beautiful home in Miami, and an e?j tate on Cat-Cay Island, in the Brahamas. Their estate their com prises an entire island of over three hundred acres, and the buildings arc unique in architecture and group ing. Mr. Strong relates his exper ience? with hurricanes, however, with a decided shake of the head. The owners were in Europe when the fiist hurricane played havoc with thtii* island estate. All repairs were made, and buildings placed back, just in time for the Second hurri caru. And even since then another raging storm has done damage to ?.he island group. Mr. Strong has been retired from active business life for the past fif teen years. He and Mrs. Strong have spent several * summers in Eu rope. and the fact that they are now in Transylvania county speaks vol umes for the attractions of this^sec tion. Mr. Strong began life as a civil engineer for the railroads on the Pacific coast. Later he engaged in the mining business, in which he was extensively interested up to the time of his retirement from active business life. These appreciated visitors came to Transylvania county because of suggestions of their friend.' who had visited this section.
