THE BREVARD NEWS VOL. XXXII. * BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA, AUGUST 25, 1927 No. 34 GREAT CROWDS ARE ATTENDING DAILY SERVICES AT TENT People From Diit&nt Points Help to Swell Cyclone Mack's Congregation KU KLUX KLAN SENDS BIG ROBED DELEGATION Coal Mine Owner Pays Tribute To McLendon As A Great Evangelist Record -smashing crowds are at tending the meetings at Cyclone Mack's- tent during the past several days. It is said the crowd that pack ed the big tent last Sunday evening was the largest crowd ever assemb led in Transylvania county. Sir. "Babe"' Cooper, who has lived in Brevord for 64 years, is authority for the assertion that it was the largest crowd ever seen in the county. This statement is also made by other citi zens who have, lived long in this sec tion. j " ? At the meeting on Monday night, when Mack preached to. men only, it i is said the largest crowd of men | were in attendance that ever as- j sembled in the county. People from Asheville, Hender sonville and other Western North Carolina towns were at the meet ings Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening. Hundreds were here from South Carolina, too, many towns and cities in the Palmetto State be ing represented. Most of the peo ple who came from distant points were those who attended Mr. McLen don's meetings in their own towns, and came here' to hear him once again. It was considered a great tribute to the evangelist in having hundreds of people travel great dis tances in order to hear Cyclone Mack preach again. Highway Patrolman Eek Sims <?5unted tfie automobiles that left ? the tent Sunday afternoon over the Hendersonville route. Mr. Sims re ports that 167 automobiles crossed the Transylvania county line in one hour. It is expected that another great crowd will be here hext Sunday. | KU KLUX KLAN SENT UNIFORMED DELEGATION Delegations representing the Ashe ville and Brevard Ku Klux Klans, with robes and hoods, attended the McLendon ravival last Sunday even ing. Marching down the right aisle of the big tent, single file, with the leader carrying the Ameircan flag, the procession created much interest. After having been seated nearly all members of the delegation immedi ately raised their hoods, baring faces and heads, making no effort at con cealment of identity. When the evening's collections had been made, three members of the delegation approached the speaker's stand and the spokesman, in a few words, presented Mr. McLendon with a purse. The speaker told Mr. Mc Lendon that the Klan had followed his. movements from town to town # and city to city; that he was con sidered a straight shooter, standing four-square for the Bible, the home and the American flag, and that members of the Klan were dilighted to have an opportunity to hear the great evangelist in his matchless ser mon on "Americanism." Mr. McLendon thanked the Klan for their attendance, and brought great cheers when he nodded to ward the robed delegation and said: "That's the bunch of boys who are going to help keen A1 Smith out of the White House." i L RUMORS BRANDED AS FALSE BY THE MAYOR Reports gained circulation in some manner this week that Mr. McLen don had ben guaranteed $5000 for coming here, and in addition, had ! been given two lots, upon which he wa# to build a home with the $5000 guaranteed him. Mayor W; mire stated Tuesday l night at the ent that the report is untrue and without foundation. Mr. McLendon was not guraantced any amount of money. In fact, he prom ised Mayor Whitmire six years ago that he would come to Brevard at the first oppotunity, and this is the first time he has had an open date ' that he could come here. A ye-ar ago Mayor Whitmire gave Mr. McLendon a lot in Forest Hills Mr. Raymond Eagle, owner of For est Hills gave Mr. McLendon another lot, and the evangelist bought one lot. This gives him a boautiful home- site upon which he hopes, he says, to build a home some day, and then tell everybody he nreaches to about the wondrous beauties of of these matchless mountains and sylvan valleys. Cyclone Mack had no guarantee to come here. This paper can make this assertion with full authority. , Those who have heard such rumors and art repeating them, are- doing a great man a grave injustice. BIG MI/^E OWNER GIVES PRASIE TO McLENDON Raleitrh. \V. Va.. Aug.23. ? Col. Ernest Chilson. coal magnate, gen cnJ^tnanagr>r of one of the biggest MR] most progressive companies in this West Virginia field, who has commanded a division in at least one <>f the great labor conflicts, has found nn 'loctrie iron that smooths out all th old difficulties about min ers and operators co-operating, he sayff, an 1 1 this harbinger r.f a new *v*a is "n evangelist of th" t'ospel who .preaches in ^churches, in empty GREAT PUBLICITY GIVEN BREVARD IN I PAPERS OF SOUTH I 7" Gclf Course Proves Itself As Tran sylvania'? Biggest Drawing Card for Tourists FIFTY DAILY PAPERS CARRIED LOCAL STORIES Money Could Not Have Purchased Publicity Obta ined Because of Gulf Events Brevard has ..been initiated into the ranks of cities that have something more than usual in the golfing world. The first event that established ilie right to claim a championship course was staged on Tuesday and Wednes day? a two day session with the best golfers in North and South Car olina participating. On Tuesday afternoon a pro-amateur match of 18 holes was played. This was pre liminary to the big event on Wednes day which occupied the entire day. Much has been said about the course at the Brevard Country Club being a hard one and one of the ispernest in the South. If there was any doubt or this fact in the minds of the members of the club who have been playing, it may be dispelled now for not one professional or amateur who played in Tuesday af ternoon's match was able to negoti ate 18 holes in par. This is re markable, for there were some good players among the thirty odd who I teed off in that event, and golfers who have briken course records on all kinds of links. Golfers, like all other human beings have their off days, but it is not likely that all who represent an organization of exper ienced players such as composes the Carolinas P. G. A., will be off their game on the same day, and it is therefore reasonable to assume that the Brevard course is one of the , mojt difficult types of golf links to be found in the two Carolinas. This condition adds to the pleasure of the j enthusiast, and makes for an unus- 1 ual recreational facility. Thirty-six players started in the j pro-amateur match on Tuesday af- ! ternoon. Ten pros, cach with an am- ? ateur finished 18 holes in 90 or un der and eight additional pairs threw their cards away. / Fifty daily newspapers, have pub lished news articles about Brevard during the past few days, and resi dents of this town and county who have failed to fully appreciate the great worth of the golf course should now be willing to acknowledge that it is, without doubt, the town's most valuable asset as a drawing card for tourists. Daily newspapers called Brevard over long distance through out the day Wednesday, to get She latest news* about the golf event be ing staged here. No amount of money could have purchased the pub licity this town and county got through the qualifying round play ed here Wednesday. The best golfers in the two Caro linas have been here all week. Many of them brought their families. The hotels have been overrun, and board ing houses have been packed. Vis itors here at the golf event, many of them, have decided to stay a few days and visit the many points of interest in this section. Hundreds of them will come back next summer and spend their full vacation here. It is being impressed upon the citizens of the town and county that tha golf course is of great value. A c< .nparativc few men are bearing the .vhole burden of financ ing the goif course. These men de serve the fullest support of the town and county in general. Ev erybody benefits from the golf course. It matters not whether one! plays golf or not ? all are interested | in getting tourists here, and so far nothing else has been found that draws the tourist to a town like a good golf course. i warehouses, or in a big circus tent las the occasion directs. "I have never seen a personality just like this Baxter McLendon's," Col. Chilson said, while a church at Cunard was being dedicated by the i evangelist who has held more and bigger revivals in the South than any : other. "Since McLendon came to preach in the West Virginia coal ! field everything works smoothly. Our Imer. are sober and reasonable and self-respecting and join us seeking | better living conditions. It is a very ! remarkable change in the attitude of jthe miners which we meet at least I half way. "McLendon, by his preaching in the pulpits has accomplished what 1 had been trying for years to accom plish by force, law, persuasion and every other means with only moder ate results. Before he came, many of the men though useful were immor al; since he came, they are more val uable employes, because he convert ed them. We give McLendon the credit for all the changed condi tions, and every operator says th?' i tame, who has had the experience ? of having him conduct a revival in their camps. We have had other ??van Igelists come and go without much 1 nerropt iblc benefit, but I consider j McLendon a very exceptional man 'ami one of the most interesting hu jmah beings I have ever met. I love the man for his p< j-sonal:ty, as well las respect him for his work for Chris tianity." * And Col. Chilson proves the sin cerity <>f his words by affotdinr ev ery possible aid to Evangelist Me I.e:id"ii whenever lhat preacher ar ri?t s in the coal arcits of West Vir ROLAND KANDCOCK TOOK FIRST MONEY I IN THE B!G GAME!

Mrs. Pierce was ac conipained by Mrs. Roland Hancock wife of the Linville professional, and Mrs. Hugh Pitinix of Gastonia. who wnth Mr. Pinnix have a cottage in Linville for the summer. MANY BOOKS AND MAGAZINES I GIVEN TO SICK AT HOSPITAL | Many responses have been made j to the appeal in last week's issue of j The Brevard News for books and magazines to be sent to the Transyl- ! vania hospital for the use of the ; patients in that institution. Some who sent books or magazines failed to state the donor's name, hence a publicaion of all the names cannot < be given. Those whoso names were j given with the donations are : Miss j Elizabeth Shipnian, books and mag-' azines; Miss Beatrice Daniels, 7 nice' books; Mrs. H. A. Plunimer, maga-l zines. Hospital officials, nurses and pa- 1 ! tients all express themselves as! i greatly appreciative of this prompt! i and generous response on the part of the people of the community to their j I request for reading matter for the ! hospital.

Par was victorious over every entrant. The course that has made a reputation ' among local golfers and mar/.' of the' j summer visitors, as being a hard one, certainly lived up to its name before the onslaught of some of the best professional golfers 111 the two Oar olinas and a few amateurs who are accustomed to shoot par golf on any course. , Frank Clark, Asheville Country 1 Club professional, and his youthful amateur partner, Alan Smith, also of Asheville, won the pro-amateur event preliminary to the sectional j qualifying round of the P.

CAMPS CLOSING AT END OF WEEK ; ii Practically all of the 15 summer ; camps in Transylvania county are;, closing this week for the 1927 sea- j son. Most of the camps have been in operation for the past eight weeks, ; and reports from many of the diree- j, tors state that a most sucessful and , , enjoyable season has been experi- 1 enced. A few of the camps will not , j close until next week. Statements from many of the , camp officials and from the campers themselves are to the effect that Bre vard is an ideal place for a summer ' encamnmont and that the weather 1 conditions this season have been particularly well adaptable for camp ing, with the cool and bracing air : of the nights and early morning and the delightful days. With the suc cessful closing of the present camp season, still brighter prospects are held out for the 1928 season, it is said." KIMZEY BACK FROM j TRAINING CAMP | W.
