' ' ?Dclcjji\tcs Cuming From Several States To Attend Summer Conference Here OFFICIAL NOTICE SENT DISTRICT MANACiER GROGAN Camp Sapphire Will Be Scenc of Great Activity? To Become Permanent W. H.

It will he r: ;ill'ed that Mrs. Dora Talley and othci- high officials of the Woodmen Circle were in Brevard a few weeks ago, making investigation of suitable site. Mrs. Talley's committee had inspected sections throughout the South and MRS. MARY E. LA ROCCA National President, Supreme Wood" men Circle, Omaha, Nebraska the fact that Transylvania county wqf; selected gives further evidence that this county is indeed the camp center of the country.

Something of the bigness of the oioming conference anil its possibil ities for advertising this section can be gleaned from the fact that so many states will have numerous rep resentatives at the session.

Mr. Mat toon is chief of the service, with headquarters in Asheville, while Messrs Dunn and Edmundson are assistants to the chief, and spend most of their time on the govern ment property iiuthe Pisgah Nation al Forest. . For many years leading men of the county have been advocating the building and maintenance here of a fish hatchery. John W. Sfaiith and E. P. McCoy have hammered on this question, n season and out, for a long time. It is believed that a fish ha?chery here, which would result in stocking every mountain stream in this section w.th fish, would biiing more peopje to this section than would any other single under taking. Thursday night's meeting will de termine whether or not the county is to wage a campaign for this great asset. It is expected that all mem bers of the club will be present.

I; < highly ini 1 .'i ' 11.1 . ail liik-ni! .'i> be present D)\ Andrew J. Lyday PIONEER PHYSICIAN WAS ONLY DOCTOR HERE FOR MANY YEARS Olio <lav recently a group ?f Bre vard men were discussing* the great progress ma<le in all lines of en deavor in Transylvania county. Med icine and surgery entered into the discussion, and one gentleman re marked: " W'-ll, there were pioneers in that profession, just as there were in all other lines of work. 1 am thinking now of that beloved- man, Dr. An drew J. Lyday, who was. for many years, the only physician in this out tire section. He practiced medicine for 41 years, and d ed in the harness, that is, death came to. him while at tending yne o'f hi:- , patients. He had a man's job." r This statement interested The Brsviuv! News, and facts in connee !'? n will that great man's life and work w; v ? ought., which are record - , oil here with confidence that all ? readers of this paper will be greatly interested in reading. Dr. Andrew J. Lyday was born | May 12, 1824, at Penrose, where he kept his home until his death, which occurred Sept. 1, 1890. At the time of the great doctor's birth, Penrose was in Buncombe county. Later the county of Henderson was formed, and he was then a citizen of Henderson cunty. In the sixties Transylvania county was organized, and during the rest of his life Dr. (Continued on page seven) Declares Federal Reserve Act Most Important Legislation Ever Enacted i Major William Harris, of the Cen tral Bank and Trust company, Ashe ville, delivered a most interesting address to the Kiwanis club last Thursday evening. Major Harris was speaking under the direction of the American Bankers association in a campaign, which is nation-wide in scope, in an effort to assist the peo ple in becoming familiar with h ? hanking business. His address v.as instructive and interesting:. Money is not wealth, the "?"??!*<' ' stated, and is nothing more than "? convenient medium of exchanire for articles that really represent wealth. The true wealth is found in those thinjrs that are useful to mankind |and supply his needs. Food, wearing I apparel, shelter, fuel, electricity, mod's of transportation, things that contribute to life and the enjoyment of 1 fe are the thing's that constitute wealth, Major Harris asserted. Money is simply a medium of ex change in the transaction through i which one man buys and another sells these things that represent true i wealth, therefore banks are simply a house of exchange to facilitate the | transactions of th; country. An 1 ? lustration o'f the fact that money, as ' such, is not wealth Wits stressed by Major Harris when he pointed to the | fact that !):i percent of ihe business of the Unit?d States is done on ; credit, or throujfh transactions rcp ' resented by promissory notes. , Major Harris, :n tracing the his i tory of banking in America, ex pressed as his belief, based upon its history, that the Federal Reserve l Act is the greatest single piece of legislation for the good of the peo ple as a whole ever placed upon the statute books of the United States government. Prior to the passage of the Federal Reserve Act, all money found its way into New York, which was the: money center of this con tinent. New York, therefore, could br ng on panics .could cause fluctua tions in the money market, affecting the market of every other commod ity almost at will. The Federal lie serve Act provided for the division of th? United States into 12 Federal Reserve distr cts, which scattered the wealth of the nation all over the country, and the financial power is no longer found in any one particu lar community, but w.th these Fed eral Reserve banks, and their branch banks scattered over the country, financial assistance is in reach of every section of the United States. Major Harris had the distinction during the World War of being the youngest major in the American Ex peditionary Forces in France, and has many friends and admirers through Western North Carolina who enjoy his visits and delight in his interesting addresses. Hon. Ci. Lyle ?Tones, Lientenant Governor of Kiwanis in the .Carolina district, came to Brevard with Major Harr's anil he spoke to the club on matters pertaining to Ki wanis. Mr. Jones expects to re turn before long and nay an official visit to the club, and tne membership will welcome him. Presents Name of Lewis P. Hamlin i Republican Candidate for Congress Editor The Brevard Niws I want to compliment you for your | efforts in behalf of Transylvania county, and make a suggestion if you will permit me, as t'> how you can materially help the county, and at the same time be of service to one of the county's best men. Hundreds of Republicans in Trail , sylvnnia county arc especially anx ious for Lewis P. Hamlin to be nominated as candidate for Congress in the coming election. \Ve are con jvinced that he is one man in the j party who can be elected to Con ? gross from the 10th Congressional 1> strict. Mr. Hamlin made the race for .Congress in I '.'2-1 and polled the largest number of votes ever re J reived by a Congressional candidate I'n the Republican ticket in this llis Iti'V.'t. In the past fou: ytars he 1 1 its- ?i-.ijrn ' :cm: : !. :o pnvT. I' i i.i ? r.'t over . he ? >.?t??ft. s i <ii:nihv!* ? ? h" .*>1;'! o ? . with thi' leading Republicans of the State. As an attorney he is recognized as one of the most successful members of the bar. and is a man anil citi zen who has no peer. Having been born anil reared in ths mountains of Transylvania county. Mr. Hamlin fully understands ihe needs of Western North Carolina. As a member of the United States Congress, his best thought would be always for the advancement of the interests of his constituency in the mountain counties. I believe that he would be more truly representa tive of the citizenship of Western North Carolina than any other out standing man in either of the politi cal parties in the Kith Congressional District, so I will appreciate it person ally if The Brevard News can pub lish this letter, and present Mr. H.imlin for the consideration of '?e Republ: ns :n this Distr et.
