THE BREVARD VOL. XXXII. BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA, DECEMBER 1, 1927 No. 48 FARM FEDERATION TO 8W $2S8, (SK IN FARMfROGRAM Huge Sums Coln> From New York to Supplement Gift of Late E. W. Grove TO PUT FARMING ON REAL BUSINESS BASIS James G. K. McClute Outlines Work of Federation ? Presages Era of Prosperity for W. N. C. Olio hundred thousand dollars for developing agricultural industries in Western North Carolina, through ihe Farmers Federation has been . aised in New York City as par; of. a !>250,000 fund to be used t>ver. a period of five years, James G. K. MeClure, Jr., president of the Fed nation, announced last night. This fund wil be administered by a board of trustee and will serve to establish ennnncries, poultry fatten ing: plants, egg gathering stations, woodworking establishments and cream stations and to pay highly trained fu'U! workers who will assist the farmers in increasing their vege table crops and multiplying the in come* from agricultural products . in the .mountain' counties. "The agricultural problem in West ern North Carolina is largely an , economic problem." Mr. MeClure de clared in making the announcement. ' "The lack of markets and plants where' agricultural products can be disposed of and manufactured has . kept down the production of our , mountain counties. The time has , come when the farmer must not only produce but must also control the j marketing of his product and be able ! to manufacture his product. This ( fund will enable the farmers of Western North Carolina to com- ( mence to establish poultry fattening i plants, small canneries and other , marketing facilities that will form an economical foundation for the permanent agrciultural prosperity of the country." Trip Kept Secret The. fact that Mr. MeClure and H. W. Love were in New York has been carefully guarded for the past five J weeks and until the announcement was made last night very little was known of the plan for' developing agricultural industry in Western North Carolina. Mr. MeClure made it plain that j this money, while coming as a dona tion for the upbuilding of the mow ! tain section of North Carolina, will be of service to those farmers and those communities that bestir them-: selves to take advantage of the op- 1 portunity offered. The fund will contribute to the j success of agricultural enterprises that private capital cannot swing at j the present time, and will give the | farmers a chance to work out their own salvation. In connection with the possibilities that are offered, tha example of Denmark which has ap- | proximately the same area as West- : ern .North Carolina, 17,000 square miles, and yet exports 250 million dollars worth of food products in ad dition to feeding Copenhagen, a city of 800,000 people, and other large 1 cities is pointed out.

IS BADLY BURNED Little Bonnie Glazener, the 4- ' year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Houston Glazener, of the Connestee section, was severely burned Wed- j nesday of last week when she was playing in front of a fireplace at the i home of her parents, and a coal fell out, setting fire to the child's cloth ing. The little girl, becoming frightened, ran into ^another room, and before an older sTster, who was in the room at the time of the ac cident, could grab a quilt from the , bed find throw it around the burn ing child ,most of the clothing of little Bonnie had burned away and parts of her face and body were badly scarred by the flames. Dr. W. M. Lyday was summoned from Brevard, and little hope was at first given, out by him for the child's re covery, but later reports state that she is resting well and more hope is now entertained for her recovery. Little Bonnie's mother was away from home at the time of the trag edy and her father was at work out in the field, and it is said_ that the presence of mind of her 12-year-old sister, who was at home with Bon nie and their baby sister at the time, saved the life of the burning child.

BREVARD INDUSTRY HAS RAPID GROWTH Loy Thompson Shipped 600 Tables Manufactured Here in the Month of November Talking about bringing industries to Brevard ? what about knowing something of the industries already , operating here? SIX HUNDRED TABLES MANU- , FACTURED IN BREVARD. WERE SHIPPED TO OUT-SIDE MARK- 1 ETS DURING THE MONTH OF , November: The tables were made at the plant 1 of The Thompson Mill Works com- I pany, located near the passenger ! station, in a factory equipped with j the very latest furniture manufac- | turing machinery. It i. a ?v. v piace, and while- the ptent"ns dev?t>~i ing its efforts now to the making of j tables ? kitchen tables, dining tables i and breakfastroom tables ? plans are being perfected for the manu facture of kitchen cabinets, and ma chinery .is being installed for the production of tha't popular piece of household furniture. Mr. Loy Thompson, quite a young man in years, but old in experience in the lumber business and furni ture manufacture, is owner of the | plant. For several years Mr. Thonip- j son operated, most successfully, a lumber business here, which is grow- j ing all the time. The furniture ] making part of the business is an. addition to the lumber business. He comes from a family of people long identified with the "furniture manu facturing business, hence his thor- J ough experience, even though young j in years. With the magnitude of his business thus early in life, it is no I stretch of the imagination to see ! Mr. 'lhompson at the head of a ire- i mendous furniture factory here ere he reaches the age of thirty. Brevard people can learn some thing of interest by paying a visit j to its own furniture factory here, i High Point is considered the larg est furniture manufacturing city in the South, yet many of the tables shipped from Mr. Thompson's plant during November WERE SOLD IN HIGH POINT! Others were sold in I Thomasville, Charlotte, Jacksonville, I Columbia, while many went to Ashe jville places of business. I SERIES OF SERMONS BY REV. MR. HARTSELL Rev. W. II. Hartsell, pastor of the 'Brevard Baptist church, is conduct j ing a series of evangelistic sermons at the Sunday nipht services, the 'sermon Sunday night being the third in the series. These special ser vices will continue from Sunday right to Sunday night. The pastor | is delivering strong, appealing ser ! mons. and much interest is being 'manifest on the part of the large (numbers of people attending each 'Sunday night, as evidenced by the response from many in the congre gation in expressing the desire to live better. The first in the series of evange listic sermons preached by Mr. Hartsell was on the subject, "Ju?t Outside the Gate." the second on "Too Late," and the subject of ih' sermon last Sunday niirht was on "Trying to Borrow Reliirion."

When Sheriff Sitton and* Eck Sims went to make the arrest they found a truck containing several bushels of potatoes parked a short distance off the highway.

Later officers arrested Cad and Garland Whitmire. All three of the arrested men were brothers-in-law. Preliminary hearings will be held the latter part of the week, it is said. i CLOVER FARM STORE TO OPEN SATURDAY Brevard is to have a Clover Farm j [ store. I This system of stores is an or ganization of independent grocers who through their purchasing power prorate advertising and other things incidental to the retail grocery trade. It is said there are many of these stores in Asheville and sev eral in Hendorsonville, and the movement seems to be spreading rapidly through the country. T. M.

One of the most interesting cases docketed is that wherein Bis- Tom Wood is to be tried for striking Big Elbert Owen on the head with a shovel. This fight occurred in the Toxaway section several months ago and was the topic of conversation over the county nt the time.
