' BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA, SEPTEMBER 22, 1927 ' ' No. 38 ROSMAN PEOPLE PROUD OF FINE RECORD MADE IN GREAT REVIVAL f 200 CONVERTS IN THE TWO WEEKS' M'LENOSN MEETING All Incidental Expenses Promptly Paid By Rosman People, and a Purse of $1011 Given f.".. McLendon as Free Will Offer ing ? Meeting Lasted C\ :.y Two Weeks, But Was Most Successful ? All Minist; ?v, Church Officials, Town Officials and Company Official's Worked Hand-in-Hand for Success of Meeting ? Baptismal Services Next Sunday. "Tell your readers that Rosman went over the top with the McLen don revival, which resulted in more than 200 converts and a still larger number of those who rededicated their lives to the cause of Christian ity and Chrisi, and presented Cyclone Mack with a purse of $1,011 at the conclusion of his two weeks' meeting here," came telephone messages from Rosman citizen?. The meetings were held in the auditorium of the new high school, and Mr. McLendon had the enthus iastic support of the pastors of Ros man and the church leaders. The vow-n officials and influential citi zens made every effort for the suc cess of the revival, and through this coordination Mr. McLehdon pro nounced it one of the most success ful meetings ever held. One big result of the campaign, according to telephone communica tions with various citizens of Ros man, is that of the elimination of factionalism and the settlement of personal differences that have ex * isted to some extent in Rosman.. Mr. Jos. S. Silversteen cooperated with the meeting in every way, and, it is said, made substantial donations both towards the incidental expenses and to Mr. McLendon's personal gift. Other members of the big industrial organization, headed by Mr. Silver steen, also worked faithfully, it is said, in every phase of the campaign. Mayor Mahoney and members of th? board of aldermen worked shoulder to shoulder, it is pointed out rvfitji pride, with those who were opponents in the recent town ? f ftififi'iW, " this fine spirit of coop oration is given much credit for the success of the revival. i Among those who were constantly in attendance at the meetings were Mr. C. R. McXeely and other cit izens of the Lake Toxaway section, and all these, it is said, labored in the revival. At the closing service Sunday night the big auditorium was packed, the doors and windows filled with those listening to Mack's last ser mon, while large numbers of people left the ground, s because they could not get inside nor nenr any vantage point where they could hear the ser mon. All who were Christians were | asked to stand, and fully four fifths of the large crowd stood and testified to their Christian lives. A gentleman from South Carolina was heard to remark, "I would love to ! live in this community where the spiritual life claims this large per centage of the population." The Methodist and Baptist church es are preparing to receive large numbers next Sunday. The Baptists will conduct baptismal services at the forks of the river just previous to the church services next Sunday. "Rosman, the religious city," was suggested by some as a new slogan for the town, which has been sland ered many, many times in the past. While still another slogan is, "Ros man is right." Practically all the citizens of the town are highly elated over the suc cess of the revival, which paid its incidental expenses and made an unusual free-will offering to the great evangelist, under whose preach ing and pleading more than 200 con verts were added to the great artny of the Lord. KIWANIS BARBECUE , WAS GREAT SUCCESS Mr. Shipman'a Camp W?i Scene of Most Enjoyable Meeting ? 90 Per Cent Present Many efforts will have been made before the Brevard Kiwanis club has a more enjoyable or successful meet ing than that staged last Thursday evening at the mountain camp of Mr. Thomas H. Shipman, on the Pickens highway. It was "Ladies' Night,'' and preparations had been made for ah attendance of Sfty peo ple, including the ladies. When the crowd assembled about eighty ans wered to the roll call. As an indica tion of the thoroughness of the prep arations, this larger number was well cared for, and several baskets of sur plus food was sent to the county home, with compliments of the club for the inmates of that institution. Sam Allison, well known caterer, assisted by Bill Barrett, cooked the 1 barbecue dinner, which was pro nounced good, and evidenced by the way the people relished the repast, j Mrs. Shipman was hostess to the '? ladies, and with her husband, was given a rising vote of thanks at the conclusion of the program. The club voted to assist physicians of the county in entertaining a group of eminent physicians who are to be in Brevard at an early date. Re quest for this cooperation came from Miss Martha Boswell, representing the County Hospital association. As it was Rev. 0. L. Simpson's last Kiwanis meeting here, before his de parture for Nashville, tributes were paid to him as pastor, citizen, friend and Kiwanian. It was said that Oscar Simpson's residence in Bre vard, and his activities in the club, would leave an influence here that would never die. Regret was ex ? pressed over losing the popular pas J- tor, yet the club rejoiced with him in tHe larger opportunities that will be hi? new work. Prof. J. B. Jones, principal of High schorfl; Prof. Shore, principal of -Xhe Elementary school, and Prof. 1 | Winton, superintendent of the Bre \vard Institute, were present and made most interesting talks. The club will meet next Thursday evening at Mrs. McMinn's home on Caldwell street at 7 o'clock, and it i? expected every member will be present. JOINES BUYS TWO HOUSES IN BREVARD S. K.

PUSHELL'S STORE IN BANKRUPTCY Action Token to Protect Creditors, Says Mr. Pushed ? Was Popu lar Place of Business Pushell's Department store was placed in voluntary bankruptcy on Monday by Luther Pushell, "owner and manager of the concern. Mr. Pushell states that this course was pursued in order to protect-Wf?-Gred= ltors. These proceedings were taken in the bankruptcy court, before F. W. Thomas, of Asheville, referee. A meeting of the creditors will be callcd at an early date and a trustee selected to wind up the affairs of the concern. Pushell's, beginning business in Brevard as Jerome and Pushell near ly six years ago, has enjoyed a splen did growth. Mr. Jerome sold his in terest to Mr. Pushell about two years ago, when tha firm name was changed to Pushell's. Plans for expansion were made when Western Carolina was enjoying its tremendous prosperity. These plan: failed, in part, to ma trialize, and this is thought to be one cause of the firm's embarrassment during the period of readjustment. Mr. Pushell and his wife, who as sisted him in the business, have made numerous friends in the coun ty, who sympathize with him in his troublie, and many have been heard to express the hope that the Push ells will manage their affairs so as to continue to live in Brevard.

Wo men from all sections of the county are especially urged to attend the meeting. to hear Dr. Rankin. It had been the intention of the committee to hold the meeting in the Chamber ; of Commerce room, but so much in terest has already been aroused in the coming event that lack of room to hold the expected crowds caused the committee to make arrangements for use of the Brevard Baptist church instead. Miss Martha Boswell, chairman of the county hospital committee, will gladly furnish any detailed informa tion desired. In talking with The Brevard News, Miss Boswell stressed the fact that while this is primarily a meeting for the ladies of the county that she and all members of ! the committee are nevertheless anx ious that every man who can possibly do so will attend the meeting also.

I I ! : PRODUCt COMPANY j BUYING BIG LOTS I .. ? f armers a nil Dairymen Bringing In Produce From Every Section of the County (By L. A. AMMON.) lliiee more customers brought in cream Saturday, and the total for th<. day was 22 gallons. This, compared With tw.lve on Tuesday. Tuesdays and Saturdays have been set as davs ;to bring in the cream. Mr. J-. 11. Holden, of I'isgah For est, brought in a sample of cream, and had it tested to find out how rich in butter it was. Then he went : Hack home nnd weighed out his cream and churned, and and water were added, cr \c ????'!' "left in," we might say, ih . bun.; was s -venu t-n pet-cent more than he would have gotten without the (Churning. Tb? question .Mr. Hol den is trying to decide is whether it will pay to churn or not. He tig Ui*eu l ? two an<^ one-half percent of his butter, he was not able to churn loose, and that this should be Jitfurecl when you talk of churning", and those who churn whole milk will lose still more. AVhen two or three along a road have started to sell, the companv has promised to aid in getting some one ol the crowd to bring in the cream for others. Get in the game and Jet s put the farmers side of this game over, and make some monev doing it. ' Do not put out much money for cows unless you can produce at' least eighty percent of their feed on the farm. Whole milk brings around 32 cents per gallon wholesale in milk centers. Ih^s is considerably better than cream, but you will never get to that market without first starting with cream, as that is the history of all such producing sections. . The Creamery and Produce store is handling considerable stuff, run ning over three hundred dollars the .?first week. This week's prices are: Potatoes, globe turnips quickly grown, beggies, and carrots. SI per bushel. Tomatoes are most out of lb: gr. :;'.e per bushel. Ohra, nste cents per pound, peppers 75 cents per bushel, nnd butter fat 40 cents per pound. We are hurting to move cabbag", as they are ahead of ' what we ex pected, and the outside markets are glutted from Virginia and New York. '1 he best price offered anywhere in the South is two cents per pourw!, and by the time you crate them and pay express, the local company would loi,e money if you were to give the cabbage to them. The truck an5 across the mountains is the only hope. Beans, too, are some earlier than expected, and the Piedmont section is just now going off the market, and better selling is hoped for by the time this reaches you. The local price of five cents per pound is more than they can pay and ship to ar.v other market than their own head* quarters, and what their own :;even stores can use, otherwise they must sell to the ones who have been buy ing from and these men must have a profit. If the volume gets large they will go down to four cents, that they may be shipped to farther markets, as such markets wire that they have a good opening for our first class beans. Again, the market does not buy beans such as homefolk like best. Only a very small bean inside is wanted, just what farmers call slabs. The big reason is that when full beans are shipped, and several days elapse before they reach market, the full ones are turning yellow, and will shell out as hard beans. They cannot handle just what the people want for this reason. So in picking beans for the market, select the slabs that look about full grown in size as to width and length, but showing only a reasonable bump for the bean. Turnips of the long kind are the only ones wanted, and not say oyer four inches in sixe. Same for beg gies. Many are watching prices, and arc now fi'uiing on what thev will grow next yitnr. 1' lie list as I see it is: Potatoes, yes lots of them; turnips to a limited extent, same for beggies i xcept l h planted to come in fro*'., and sold during winter, v >. rvois. v. u much danger of grow ing too irony late lines. The crops that must be harv.-sted just so. and "<??? <1 ir. !Yv. hours the ones to let c special few do. Those k'nds lor 1 1; .? uambb-r, an. I a ?'ntniiiing nis'rk t tc handle. The store will not attempt to handle di..*sed hogs until cooler weather, as it is too late for a cold storage this year, and they must be cooled h< fore shipping to Hickory. Plan for fat hogs ill winter.

Simpson, .who lias sti Vvil as pastor of the Brevard as rv . d a? pri-'tcr t f Brevard Methodist I ciiUl'tii lor the past ten months, left j on Tuesday, accompanied by Mrs. Simpson and their four little boys, | for their new home in Nashville, !Tenn., where Mr. Simpson will as sume at once his newly elected duties as assistant editor of the General Sunday School Board of the M. IC. Church, South. In an interview with a representa tive of The Brevard News just prior to his departure, Mr. Simpson paid high tv.bute to the members of his congregation and to the peopls of the community in general for their many expressions of cordial hospi tality shown to himself and to Mrs. Simpson during their brief stay in Brevard, and expressed himself as greatly apreciative of the splen'id cooperation and loyal spirit manifest not oi:!y among the people of his con gregat.i n, but of the other denomin ations well. "The ties of friend ship forr ?! among the many splcn tI ?. ed Christian people of Bievard," says Mr. Simpson, "will remain as among the most pleasant memories of our sojourn of a few months in this beautiful section of ? Western North Carolina." Kev. Mr. Simpson delivered his two farewell sermons on Sunday be fore large and attentive audiences, his sermons on both occasions being of an unusually inspiring and im pressive nature. At the morning hour of worship, the communion ser vice .was held, at which an unusually large number of church members participated. In behalf of the board of trustees of the church, Mr. Oliver Orr spoke in a few well chosen and well-deserved words at the morning service of the high es teem in which the church members held Mr. Simpson and of their sin cere appreciation of his successful and efficient labors among them, re joicing with him in his promotion to new and larger field of labors, and predicting for him a great future in the work of the church and the cause of religion. NEGRO SLASHED YOUNG WHITE MAN Much excitement was created last Wednesday night when Fred Gash, colored, slashed Clarence Stamey, young white man, with a razor across the face. The incident oc curred on Main street, near the Bre vard bank, and after slashing the white man, it is said, the negro ran across the street pursued by several men who had been attracted by the melee. The negro made his get away, and has not been captured. Young Stamey was taken to the Transylvania hospital, where Dr. Thos. J. Summev dressed the wounds. The cut went clear through the stde of his face, from mouth almost to the ear, barely missing the throat. CITY TAXRATEIS GREATLY REDUCER Kediift'on of th- city tax rat. from S2 to Sl.'tti m the hundred by the town council h:.s brought joy i< the hearts of the tax payers of Rre vard. It was only by determination to practice tht- most rigid economy in town affairs that toe council was able to make this reduction in town taxes, and officials state that the citizens of the town must cooperate with authorities, especially in de mands for improvements. It was pointed out at the meet ing of the council that Brevard's paving program is away ahead of the growth of the town and that no other town in the world has more paved streets ami sidewalks to the pnpula tion than has Brevard. It is be lieved that with the improvements al ready made in the town that the lower tax rate will .suffice for a few years. JACKSONVILLE MAN WELL PLEASED WITH THIS SECTION (I. I>.

Corporation In Buying Farm Produce Is Discussed FARMERS URGED TO WRITE LETTERS i . Petitions To Be Circulated , ! Among Farmers, Urging Commissioners To Keep Farm Agent's Office ' In view of the great progress be ing made by the cash produce mark et and creamery recently established here by the Y. & IB. Corporation, di rectors of the Chamber of Com merce declared at Tuesday night's meeting that a farm agent is abso lutely essential to the success of the farmers of the county. A committee was appointed to begin circulation of petitions all over the county in which the commissioners will be urged at their next meeting to : rescind their recent action, and con tinue the office of farm agent. All members of the board of di rectors were named as committee to carry these petitions before the com missioners on the first Monday in October, and urge the commissioners to continue the office. The office of farm agent was dis continued recently, to take effect on the first of December, this year. It is hoped to induce the county autho ities to change this order, and con tinue the office. . .. "Talk about your factories all you want," said C. C. Yongue, ex-., pert farmer, "but I want to tell you that the biggest and best thing, .that could be brought to Transylvania is that cash market and creamery which is now operating here. Those fellows have already bought, paid for and shipped more farm produce than I thought was ' . iu the,uwUolfi, county. They nave scattered*JTTTOrtr money over Transylvania county than any factory would have done," continued Mr. Yongue. All members agreed with this ex pression, and each pledged to do all in their power to help the movement grow and prosper, to the end that the farmers of the county shall al ways have a cash market for the produce. Farmers of the county are urged to express themselves through the columns of The Brevard News on the question of retaining the form agent. As the county pays only ?000 and ihe . state pays SI 600 of the farm agent's salary, it seems to some a real tragedy to dispense with this work just now. Jt is hoped the farmers will write letters to The Bre vard News, stating their views on the question of the farm agent. The farm agent is in direct touch with the market, the kinds of crops to grow for quick sale, when to plant and when to harvest and market; the same is true of the creamery and poultry business. Hence the med just now of an experienced man in the field to serve the farmers, so they can get best results from the opportunity offered through the cnsh market here. It was decidcd to employ . an of fice assistant to work four months in the Chamber of Commerce and begin right now pulling for next season, both from the standpoint of tourists and in an effort to locate some industries in this section. I . BREVARD BOY IN ST.
