Pisgah Bank Sella Commercial
Business to BrevarJ
Banking Co.
PISGAH INDUSTRIAL
BANK IS ORGANIZED
Brevard Now Has Third Le.- g
est Bank in Western
North Carolina
i ? . . .
pi . - In order to Rive the people of this
?c ' . county a still wider banking service,
Brevard Banking company has
f; purchased the checking and .com
mercial husiness tro'm the Pisgah
Bank, and the Pisgah has been re
organized into the Pisgah Industrial
. Bank. Through this transaction,
?i . the Bfc'varu - Banking company be
comes the third largest bank in
Western 'North Carolina, with re
ft: ' sources of more than one and. one
half million dollars, while tbe.PMgah
>?': Industrial Bank has an i authoi ized
(?;v '? capital stock of ?100,000,
The Pisgah Industrial Bank will
r,- . handle long-time loans, which can
>> , be paid back in monthly, sem
monthly or weekly payments. The
H ? loan plan of the new bank is based
on 50 weeks for re-payments of
money borrowed from the bank. For
instance, if the sum borrowed is,
fiftv dollars, it can be paid off a t j
the' rate of one dollar per week, or
two dollars every two weeks, or m ]
monthly sums that will J
loan at the end of the mt>-wetk
^Phuis for this great change have
been before the officers and direc
tors of the two banks foi some j
time Every detail was worked out
to its logical conculsion before any
announcement of the change
made. Under the new arrangement,
while each bank is separate and dis
tinct from the other, yet many men
are stockholders in both banks. In
addition to enlarging the field of
service for both banks, the new ar
rangements removes any cause what
ever Tor any friction that might
trite in the future between the
c banks. anj-the banking interests of
cementing the n
nancial interests of the county into
/ a common cause in the service
' this community. ,
All checking accounts ?nd al
commercial paper of the Pl??
Bank have been removed to the
Brevard Bank, and there is a full
page advertisement in this issue _
The News, extending a welcome
from officers and directors of the
Brevard Banking companj to
these new accounts. ,
The Pisgah Industrial Bank is
ranidly shaping its affairs so as t
begin "its operations in its new field,
and this instituton, in a full page
advertisement .in this paper invHg
those who desire to obtain loans
under this plan of operation, to call
upon them and discuss the matter
with Mr. Oliver H Orr cashier and
manager of the Pisgah Industrial
Bank This institution also asks

interest and for savings accounts
which are also intcrest hear.ng jta
the depositor. In nddition to tnis
Lorvice. the Pisgah Industrial Bank
will also handle insurance in a"
branches, an insurance department
having been added to the institution.
Officers and directors of the <?
banks remain the same as in mc
Pa!t is believed this now plan will
Drove of untold value to the com
munity in that this section now has
unusually strong commercial

The most interesting and exciting I
game ever played on the Brevard j

women of Brevard. After a hard j
fought game the leans won by a !

\ .? | rii j;,L lily en the board closing I
tn? High School auditorium to all j
T?'Mic ;?<?* air,-;, f ' cept such as held by
the Acn ul official* and teacher*.
! hi/ or;stic course is threatened, it
j:s s;?'d, because of so much damage
i thai i>as b .-en done the school prop
erty by these attending basketball
games and other forms of entertain
ment held in the school building.
The matter will come before the
board meeting next Monday and it is
a foregone conclusion 'that the
board will stop all use. of tne High
School b?!i!ding for entertainment
unless assurance is given that no
lepetition of past conduct will l)o
pri nii t ted.
Several leading business rrcn, in
discussing the mather late Wednes
day, were cmphatic in their denun
ciation of conduct on the part of
boy t nnd younj; men which n;pi:cs
such a drastic move necessary.
Quite a lot cf damage has been done 1
the school property, it if said. Many i
young men who arc not in Highl:
Scheo} at all are said to have been j'
most ungcntlemanly in their conduct J :
at eamcs and entertainments.
The High School auditorium is |
the only place in Brevard where ,
community entertainments and bask- |
etball games can be held. It would j
be most unfortunate if the board j
should close the school to such, it is ; :
pointed out, yet it is said there is J 1
nothing else for the board to do if!1
the county property is to be safe- f
guareded. Many citizens advised ?
members of the beard to close the
building, unless the people of the
town would show sufficient pride in j
the school building to give the prop" |
erty proper treatment. (
Monday** meeting will be awaited ,
with interest.

THURSDAY NIGHT ?
? ' ij
Hon. D. Hid yn Ramsey" general J
manager of The Asheville Times,
will be principal speaker at the (
Kiwanis meeting this Thursday ?
evening. For many months the pro
gram committee has been making ef- '
forts to get Mr. Ramsey here for :
an address to . the club. II'- is oiio '
of the most highly educated men in f
North Carolina, and is in ereat <le- .*
maud throughout the South as Jt ?
speaker. " '!
Officials of tbe club are especially 1
anxious that every member of. the jj
organization be present at this meet- j
ing. Asheville newspapers are de- ,
voting much space to this county,
and it is known by many citizens j
here that Mr. Ramsey feels keen in- (
terest in this section.
KIWANLANS STUDY ;
PUBLIC AFFAIRS '
While much interest was created v
in the meeting of the Kiwanis club v
last Thursdav evening, results were
somewhat disappointing. however, :c
according to expressions heard from t
several members. The program was t
arranged with a view to a discussion
of public affairs, in which the qu.v-- ,
tiOn of taxes arid assessments wa - ,
touched upon, resulting in a series of u
varied talks which failed to get the j
club far in its study of public s'.f- c
fairs. . i
Opinion war expressed by some A
members that too much public,!
money is being expended in ihe edu- !.\
cationa) department, it being shown 1
that -17 1 ?? cents out of every dollar
of taxes paid go to the educational 1
department. '
It was agreed that T ransylvanvi 1
county is in fin-? shape, financially. ;t
but it seems to be the desire of ji
many citizens that county officials ?
be given more assistance in the ui-.l
turc than they have had in the past. ; ^
Thought was expressed by club|J
members that business and profes
sional men, farmers and all groups J
of citizens should lend every Hid vo f
the county official.4 in working out 1
the destiny of the county. First and
foremost, it was said by some, tne >(
county should **cut every corner (
in the way of expenditure ot public (
monies until the debts for the ]
many great improvements be mater- J
ially reduced, to the end that taxos ;]
may likewise be reduced.
Transylvania county has made un- '
usual progress during the past live
vcars, and the cost of these improve- ]
ments, added to ? the accumulated I
debts contracted in the past. nuist *
wiped out as rapidly as possible, it ]
was pointed out, if this, county ss to .
enjoy a real healthy growth in the
future. J
Some members of the c^u[^ e*" ??
nressed the opinion that such sub- ,f
jects ought not be brought up in the (
meeting of the Kiwanis club, while
others were just as irpphatic in the j
assertion that any question which 1
affects every man, woman and child j
in Transylvania county should have ,1
full right of way in the meetings of <
the club. >
It was said the time is coming, in !
fact is here right now, when the eit- j
i/.ens of the county MUST give of '(
their best thought to public affairs, |(
| to th' end that such public affairs ?
hall hi so conducted as to place the i
least possible burden upon the citi- :
?/.enship.
AfU-r all, the moetin,' was so in- !
tcresting that an extension of time,!
, was voted and the meeting lasted j
i nearly !?o hours.

Henderson's Address j
The principal feature of the meet- ;
ng was the paper read by Supt. T. (
C. Henderson, comparing the teach- ]
srs of Transylvania county today ;
vith those of five years ago. I
Following is Mr. Henderson's t
>a per : 1
Quite a few touchers of Transyl- i
'ania county in the past were poorly .
prepared for the great work of,;
leaching, a number of them being I
inable to secure even a "county j'
hird grade certificate." Partial ' '
bird grade certificates were issued
o this class of teacher. A number
>f these had not completed the sev- ,
;nth grade in the elementary j,
iehools. These untrained teachers.
IQnscientious though they were,
vould, with few exceptions, tret in
o a rut. hold their nosns to the
,r.'nd:U.iK' and laboriously grind
iway.
A little poem which 1 clipped from i -
Fhe Juumul o? Education illustrates
his class of teacher.
f vour nose is close
To the . grindstone rough
Vnd you hold it down
There lone: enough
n time you'll say
There's no such thing
\s brooks that babble
And birds that sing.
THESE THREE will all
Your world compose- ? I *
'ust You. the Stone
And your darned old Nose.
A good number of the earty j
eachtrs of the county, however, j
cere well qualified, well trained, and !?
Vyi-o excellent teachers.
Within the last few years consid- >;
'rable progress has been made along
he line of teacher training. Teach-,'
1 rs' Reading Circles have been con- i l
lucted, County Institutes and Sum- 1

As our county raises its stand

Dear >".!r:
Thy town <?f Brevard and the

the vi.tims of robberies and house
plundering*. committed by the
young boys of the community, tin
ier the age of 1(> years. They are
reported to the juvenile court, and
is there is no place to send them,
hy judge has to turn them over to
heir parents on good behavior. In

ip befor the court several times,

enow what to do with them, and the

his is a summer resort, and many j
