IDEAL WEATHER ADDED
TO GLORY OK THE DAY !
Eighteen Holes, Handicap, With
Large Number of Playeri And
Big Gallery Filled the Day
The first annual club championship
tournament of the Brevard Country
Club was played on Labor Day. It
was 18 holes medal play with handi
caps. This event was won by Dick
Breese, who turned in the low score,
90 for the 18 holes. To create ad
ded interest in the first Labor Day
tournament, the committee invited
the visiting golfers to participate and
prizes were given to the two low vis
itors. . i
The first was a beautiful silver cup
trophy and it is engraved:
Golf Champion
Brevard Country Club
Sent. 5, 1927
\V. E. Breese, Jr.
Never was there a more popular
champion in any golf club, and
rarely does any champion j>lay more j
consistent golf than did Dick Breese .
on all the 18 holes played Monday.,
He had three pars, nine 5's, three j
6's and on the remaining three
holes he took 8's. twice on the hard
No. 4 and on his first trip up the,
mountain. This is- excellent golf
for one who has been playing the I
game no longer than Dick. Tt will ? j
be remembered that 79 was the low- .
est score for 18 holes made by the :
professionals in the qualifying round
played on the same course, August f
25." Playing within 1 1 strokes of .
the best professionals in the Caro
linas is an accomplishment on the :
Brevard course that any golfer may
be proud of.
The ideal golf weather that is 1
characteristic of Brevard in Sep
tember prevailed throughout the
day and brought out a large num- j
V -r of entrants, both from among
the club members and visitors. A
holiday crowd was noticeable at the
club house from the time the first 1
flight teed off nt 9:30 in the morning 1
until late in afternoon when the final
foursome turned in their scores.
It was another red letter day for
rolf in Brevard. There was not the (
outside interest that was evidenced ;
during the "pros" qualifying round ?
of a couple of weeks ago. It was
more of a home affair for club mem
bers and golfers who have been
spending the summer here, and while |
the tournament was an invitation
event, no effort was made to enter
golfers from other- cities, except
those who are summer residents.
Under the direction of the tour
nament committee, assisted by
"Sandy" Woodman, the local "pro,
the players were handicapped and
raired in a manner that would re
flect credit upon more experienced,
tournament officials. The flights
were started without interruption at
five minute intervals, after the first
twosome tossed for the honor, and
i-ntil the entire list of entrants left:
the first tee, a continual stream of
rnhusiastic golfers betran an on- j
slaught on "old man Par, between
f\- nun>?tic P'n<"s that stand on
either side of No. 1 teeing ground.
Eighteen holes were played and
with consistent golf all the way, j
Dick Breese turn'd in the low score]
to win the cup. Dick was out in 51, |
and on his secon 1 round made a 47 .
for a gross scor^ of 98. His handi- .
cap was 8, giving him a net 90. ^ I
Anthonv Trantham made a bid ;
for the ouo on h!s first round and f
was paired with Breese on the sec
ond trio, when he marked np a 51 |
for his first nine. "Tony oncoun- ?

SEVEN CAR LOADS
OF POTATOES SOLD
And More To Be Shipped ? Advice
on Cream Business ? Buy All
Heifers To Be Had
(By L .A. AMMO.Y)
i Seven cars of potatoes have al
ready been sold, and two more lined
;up. No trouble to find buyers this 1
year. The time and the price vhe
farmers are willing to take make the
difference. In past year there has
not been enough farmers that would
take one dollar for their potatoes in
the Fall. Large acreage forces vhe hi 1
to do it this year, and that gives the
buyer a chance to handle vhem and
get out.
Many have been asking questions
[about cream and whisj might be ex
pected per cow. Pricv and so on.
| First, if you arc churning and ?
making two pounds of butXer per
day. you could sell about the same
in butter fat. Price now about
l'orty-two cents per pound. Price
varies according to tha butter
'price in Chicago or New York. See
the price of butter in these cities
and you will know what the store
I will pay for butter fat. The over
run takes care of their expenses.
An average Jersey cow will brinjr
'in ten dollars per month, and you
should not have to buy over 20 per
cent of her feed. The skim milk
fed to chickens and pigs worth
about ei?ht cents per gallon.
A gallon of medium rich cream
will bring you from one ditllaar to
on - twenty-five, depending on the
price, which varied from 38 to 55c
per pound "f butter fa!, last year.
Many are interested in cream
routes. These will be worked out as
soon a> possible. First there will
have to l>t some start, so one of vhe
men <? n t he road can be hired *<> pick
up the rest. Brine in the cream at
first. 1
Five cows make a nici herd for a
farm. That will give you around
lift y dollars per month, and two full
five gal!o:is cans of cream twice
per week.
To start in the cream business is
the easiest of any farm mark.trvr.
A spoon and a wide mouth pan or
crock is all that is needed. Skiiv.

COUNTY BOARDS IN

Road Commissioners Win In Man- I
damns Proceedings Before Judge
Schenck of Hendersonville
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT
Ca&e Involves Right of County Com
mitsion'ers To Reduce Budget
Prepared by Road Board
J udge .Michael Schenck, of Hon- '
derso:: ville, heard mandamus pro- ?
ceedin;, . instituted by the Transyl
vania county road commissioners ?
last Saturday, in which the court
was asked to order the county com
missioners to levy and provide cer
tain sums of money with which to
carry on the road work in this
county. The board of road commis
sioners was represented by Win. K.
Breesefi, while the county commis
sioners were represented by Ralph .
K. Fisher, county attorney. The
court ruled in favor of the plain
tiffs, and Mr. Fisher took an appeal
to the Supreme court.
The controversy arose over the
budget as prepared and presented by ;;
the road commissioners to the coun- ?
ty for approval. The county |
commissioners reduced the amount
considerably, the biggest item being |
cut from the proposed budget being ;?
that of a $7000 item on the new j;
road to Asheville through Boylston.
It was claimed that the sum of $35,
000 had been provided for this work |,
on the engineer's estimate. The road 1
commissifneVs had asked for an ad- ,
ditional $7000 for this work, con- ^
vinced, they said, that the highway
could not be completed with the or- j
iginal amount.
Other items cut from the pro- ij
posed budget were in smaller j
amounts, involving, it was brought
out at the hearing, the salaries of ,
road supervisors and highway patrol- ,
men. ~ . !j
Mr. Breese, for the road commit- j ,
sioners, contended that the road ,
board is operating under a special |(
act passed in the early days of the ,
last session of the legislature, giv- ,
ing to the road commissioners cer- ,
tain rights which are now being de- -
nfed them. Mr. Fisher, for the j
county commissioners, contended ;
that the state-wide county govern- J
ment' act. passed later at the same ;
r. of th ? Is the (
law und-r which all coun'ty agencies (
lire working, and this act gives io .
the county commissioners the right (
to decide upon the budgets of all ,
nther county agencies, to approve or (
disapprove, as it seems best to the .
county commissioners.
Mr. Fisher, at the hearing, con- {
tended that a question of fact had j
a ri?<" :i. therefore the county com
missioners were entitled to a Jury. '
This was disputed by Mr. Breese, for J
the road commissioners. Mr. Fisher j
made motion that a jury trial be or- 1
dered. Motion was denied.
The case will be argued before 1
the Supreme court of the state. In
terested citizens will watch the de- ]
wlopmcnts closely.

The 1 1 o'clock services held last

Prof. J. B. Jones, superintendent

his leadership and ability as a
school man on the opening da. Mon
day, when he called .upon ha in load
ed business men, who were m -inhere
of che board of county commission
ers and school boards, to addivss ihe
teachers and student body rather
than calling upon the professional
public speakers of the town. The
men who spoke being charged with
the responsibility of financing and
guiding the school could deal in
actual facts while talking to the
teachers and students.
There were 725 boys and girls en
rolled in the Brevard schools in the
opening day, and officials seeming to
fully realize the responsibilities rest
ing upon their shoulders in conduct
ing the high school and the Momen
tary school, which are charged with
Ihe training of this army of boys
and girls.
A splendid program had been pre

remarks on "Good Schools Tliro.ugh
