HOSPITAL MEETING
SETS FALSE RUMORS
IN PROPER COLUMN
D.H niiely Shown That Citizen# Aro
Intensely Interested in Progress
and Development of Hospital
EMPHASIS GIVEN THE
GREAT VALUE OF HOSPITAL
Or. Stokes Issues Statement, Setting
Forth That He Sold Out Because
It Was Best for All Concerned
Citizens cf Brevard are giving
loyal support to make Transylvania
hospital one of the best of its kind
in the country.
They are definitely behind the
public health program of the county
hospital committee.
Dr. Stokes declared that he sold
his good will along with the real estate
transaction that let him out of Bre
vard hospital and thereby made pos- j
sible the realization of the plan to '
hare one hospital to serve this sec
tion. .;?? |
These \v:re the high lights in an .
interesting meeting in the office of
Dr. T. .J. Summey, Monday morning, j
The meeting was presided over by
Miss Martha Boswell, chairman of
the Transylvania hospital committee.
The assurance of popular support,
according to Miss Boswell, has un
usual significance in view of the an
nouncement of a visit to this section
at an early date by a commission of
distinguished physicians representing
the Duke Foundation. Substantial
aid from the Duke Foundation is
sought in order to make possible ad
equate hospital facilities for this
important section. The commission
will be shown that united public sen
timent for a hospital is not lacking
here. '
The meeting was called primarily
to thrash out certain damaging
rumors afloat with regard to the
hospital situation in Transylvania.
It was pointed out that if this situa
tion were to continue it would lead
ultimately to the defeat of an ade
quate public health program. "These1
reports," said Dr. Stokes, "are en
tirely without foundation. I sold
Brevard hospital, believing it to be
best for myself and the community."
While selling his hospital to Drs.
Summey ahd Lynch he voluntarily
eliminated himself from hospital
work in Transylvania, Dr. Stokes re- ,
mains in the community as a prac- i
tising physician of outstanding abil- 1
ity. I
Dr. Stokes further declared his
interest in seeing a first class hos
pital in this county and volunteered ,
to write an endorsement of Transyl
vania hospital to be published in
The Brevard News at the discretion
of the hospital committee.
Dr. Stokes' formal statement fol
lows:
"Brevard, N. C., Sept. 12, 1927.
"TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
"Through a committee interested
in the welfare of this community, I
have learned that a report is being i
circulated to the effect that the
friends of, or Drs. Summey and
Lynch themselves, brought pressure
to bear upon the situation, forcing
me to sell Brevard Hospital. I wish ;
to say that such is not the case. On I
the contrary, I sold same, believing
it best for myself and the commun
ity. Now since I have done so, I
feel that my friends should not ask
the Hospital Management to open its j
doors to myself to be used as a gen- I
eral hospital, but if they do, and a j
refusal is the alternative, then those |
who feel that I can be of service to |
them, during my remaining sojourn
here, can call upon me, and as a
practicing physician, I will do for
th 'in what I can, but I am obligated
to have nothing to do with the own
ership or management of a hospital
or sanitarium in Transylvania Coun
ty, for a period of ten years.
* If all will stop discussing affairs
without knowing the facts and give
their individual support, all unreas
onable rumors will soon die out.
In th* meantime. I do not con
sidr that 1 am obligated morally or
1 tally * i u it the practice of medi

FAMOUS DOCTORS
; TO VISIT BREVARD
Transylvania county physicians arc
elated over the coming visit of em
inent physicians who , will spend a
few days in Brevard about the end
of the month. Duke Foundation,
pleaded by Or. VV. S. Rankin of Char
Hotte, with twelve distinguished med
j ical men from New York, Philadel- 1
i>iiia, Baltimore, ijnd othir medical I
jv'Cnteis, are coming to make a fur
ther .study of hospital needs here,
? wit a view to deciding upon the
! , : .tt of assistance to be rendered
.y aie Duke Foundation.
An exceptionally interesting mem- j
ber of the group is Dr. Simon Flex- I
ner, world-famed medical authority |
jand research man, of the Rockefel- i
ler Institute. Dr. Flexner, it is re
called, is the physician who mastered j
meningitis and many other danger- j
ous diseases. It is agreed among j
medical men that Dr. Flexner has
contributed more to the advance
ment of medical science than any |
other living American.
All the physicians of Transylvania j
county will be called together at an
early date, for the purpose of plan- |
ning entertainment for the dis- ,
tinguished physicians when they j
reach Brevard.
'OUR HOSPITAL' IS j
SOURCE OF PRIDE
When there were two hos
pitals in Brevard, we were proud
to say OUR HOSPITALS.
Though both of these institu
tions were owned by private in
dividuals, we took them to our
hearts and through our active
. cooperation, our gifts, our faith,
?we helped to make of them true
servants of the community. We
cannot afford to estimate the
good which was conferred, the
lives saved by our two hos- ]
pitals. i
Now there is only one hospital .
in Transylvania. It is a pri
vately owned institution, but it i
is OUR HOSPITAL. Without
I it, we could not boast of a model
town where people have a reas
onable assurance of swift and
adequate assistance in cases of
dire emergency. With a well
equipped hospital in easy reach,
we can serve and safeguard our j
| own people and our many visi
tors and we can invite new
camps and new industries with
the assurance that they will have
the protection which is their
due. Pure water and pure milk,
skillful physicians and a com
munity spirit which is alive to
the problems of public health
and public safety guard our cit
izens under ordinary circum
stances; a modern operating
room and a powerful X-ray bat
tle for them in cases of acci
dent and emergency. Transyl
vania Hospital is OUR HOS
PITAL because of our great
?need.
Do you know how Transyl
vania Hospital is equipped and
operated? Do you understand
its problems and its needs? Have
yon considered how you can aid
in building up the institution,
in assuring it an adequate sup
port and a larger field of ser
vice? Do you know how visit
ing surgeons rate the work
?which is being done in our
town? Are you ready with
yonr encouragements? Is your
shoulder to tho wheel?

BUYING CREAM AND PRODUCE
IN BREVARD'S CASH MARKED
.....
Ihappy throngs in
J THE CASH MARKET
Amnion and Hamilton Uusy Waiting
On the Farmers Selling Producc
and Dairy Products
("ream and cabbages, potatoes and
pullets, happy harvesters and busy
buyers, were seen in the headquar
ters of the Y. and B. Corporation
this week, at the opening of the
creamery and produce store, Cald
well street. Temporary headquar
ters are maintained in the building
formerly occupied by the Jess A.
Smith parage. Dodge dealer, across
the street from the Brevard Bank
ing company.
L. A. Amnion, county farm agent,
is assisting in getting the._work of
buying farm produce and cream
started. Mr. Amnion has ? worked
faithfully during the past years 10
get a creamery established here, and
the fact that his dream has actually
come true, even on a much larger
scale than he had dreamed about,
keeps Ammon smiling continuously
as he weighs cabbage, sacks potatoes,
and stacks chickc-n coops.
Mr. Hamilton, himself a former
and an up-to-date poultry and dairy
man, has charge of the cream, and
he delights in testing the cream and
telling the farmers what can be ac
complished here if they will only get
into the swim and help in making
this one of the very best markets in
the Western part of the state.
Messrs. Yarbrough will be-in-Bre
vard over the week-end, it is said.
They keep in constant touch with
the "local situation through long dis
tance telephone and the telegraph.
This new cash market center is
destined to play a great part in the
future of Transylvania county. It
is expected that the sales of cream
and produce will increase every day.
now that the farmers know a real
market is here for their produce.
TAXES TO BE PAID,
1 SAYS HENDERSON
As the day draws near for settle
ment between the county tax collec
tor and the county commissioners,
Tax Collector W. B. Henderson is
being forced to tie up \>ages and will
soon, it is said, begin levying against
personal property in the case of
those who have not paid the/r 1926
taxes.
Mr. Henderson says people goner
ally have paid up, and only a com
paratively few remain who have not,
and that he intends to take drastic
action in collecting all that is due
the county.
As the tax collector is charged up
with the full amount of taxes due the
county, and under the new law he
is held absolutely responsible for
the collection of all taxes due, if
Mr. Henderson fails to collect, and
then fails or refuses to take the
course of the law in garnishing or
levying, he and his bondsmen are
held responsible, hence the necessity.
Mr. Henderson says, the garnish-: 2
and the levy.
INTENSIVE STUDY.
MASONIC PROGRAM
I
Members of Dunns Rock Masonic
Lodge, meeting every second and
fourth Friday evenings, will devote
the fall and winter months to an in
teirSsive study of Masonry.
The Kiw&nis club, which has here
tofore met on Friday evening, hav
ing chanced to Thursday evening for
the future, to the end that Masons,
who are also members of the Kiwanis
club, will not have conflicting meet
ings on Friday, was given a hearty
expression of gratitude for the club's
action last Friday evening.
The educational committee an
nounces that there will be a ten
| minute lecture at every meeting of
?the lodge on some Masonic subject.
These lectures are to be given by
different members of the lodge and
are expected to prove instructive as
well as interesting. The first lecture
in this program will be delivered at
the next meeting by James F. Bar
|rett, who has been assigned the sub
ject. "The Trestle Board."
TEN-INCH BEANS ARE

Opening of Creamery and Produce
Store Creates County-wide
Interest and Activity
lily L. A. AM. MUX )
The opening of the produce .store
is cri-.tSng considerable interest
j among ; l? > farmers, and they arc
showing it by bringing in their of
ferings. The honor for the first
cream noes to Mr .C. lv. Osborne, I
j Hill Fetxer second, and John Wal
'tlrpp third, making up about twelve
gallons. .
Mr. T. P. Galloway took to his
I cabbage patch and brought in oyer a
; thousand pounds uf cabt>ufa.. 11;..
ley Merrill the first with . r. '
| Billie Owen of the Lake the secuuU.
Have been helping with the work ;
| and studying the problems of both
sides. It is going to take some real
? team work. The market in Char
lotte will take all we have, but we
j can best serve it if we make arrange
ments for our large lots before brine
ingSthem in. The man here Will in
turn let them know as he will talk
to them each day.
Prices seem good on all things,
considering the general market con
ditions. Potatoes one dollar, chick
ens 20c, eggs 35c, cabbage 2 1 -2c,
which was found to be wrong, and
: tomatoes five cents for choice, but |
I for these few bushels that were
| brought in, they were a poor lot, as
the market knows choice tomatoes.
For tomatoes, cabbage, turnips,
and all things that perish soon, call
I and ask to be shown what the market
| wants. They hesitate to tell you
! to take things back home, but will ,
| have to before many weeks. What I
! they can sell to a high class trade I
; they desire, but for the rest, they j
must handle at a loss.
' The County Agent will be glad to j
j come out and help toward harvest
! ing your products, so that you will
i bring about the least worry for the
j market. Call.
i If you have eggs and Irish pota
toes to sell, bring them in as you
' wish as they will hold their own for
; several days. Same for chickens, j
! unless it be for several hundred. j
From my ih'ooiiug with the store '
i it will take two weeks for both ends ]
to pet lined up, so they can tell you
; definitely about every question of
[marketing you may have for them.
[ The word went out that they
would take tomatoes just turning.
, From what I have learned, they will
| have to make it all green, as the
1 ones just turning are red over night.
[The green ones must be mature,
I which is shown by the width of the
| brown ring around the stem. Hxl
| not pull any that have not this brown
'ring. Cooler weather will alter
this some, as they will not ripen up
so soon.
| Before prices can be steady, ih?
shrinkage, express costs, and cost of
\ doing business will have to be stud
i ied, and prices changed to meet.
