MANY YOUNG MEN~ TO j ATTEND TRAINING CAMP I Pat K ini'/.ey,1 charged with work in connection with the officers train ing camp, reports that this county's quota for applications were secure'1 'within two days after publication ip The Brevard News that Mr. Kim Key had been placed in charge of this ; woi k for the government. More 'can be taken, however, than the minimum quota, an >> nn.'..r car* and iu^c a statement in regard to it in 1 1 ho next issue of your paper, j "1 have hail a bill pending in ('011 ;gress for' some years about this mat ter. However, elite to. the eeononiv program of the administration the chairman of the committee has here tofore advised me that it would be impossible to pass any projeet of this kind. However, he now tolls :>;e thai In' feels that legislation providing for additional fish culture stations in a number of States should be en acted. "There are many individual bills pending before the eonimttee asking for fish hatcheries throughout the liriiied States. ? Congressman While, of .Maine, is the chairman of this committee, and he now tells me that In} is planning to ask h-s eommittee to report out a bill providing for a I'liUP sum appropriation for fish hatcheries throughout the country to be expended t-ver a period of f-Vc years, and lo be used by the Secre tary of Commerce where such hatch er es may be most useful. ? "l am exceedingly anxious to have the particular hill which 1 en close or some legislation of this kind passed. 1 feel sure that under Ren ernl legislation we can qualify and secure a hatchery in our section. It is ; greatly needed as you know to take care of the hundreds and bun- ' drcds of miles of trout streams in I Western North Carolina. The Go- 1 ernment itself needs a station there for the purpose of supplying the streams on its own land, and the de- ] mands from private owners are very' great and in fact cannot now be sup- i plied from the present facilities. j "Western North Carolina is the i great playground of the east. There I is no part of it that is more bcauti-| ful than Transylvania County. This county has hundreds of miles of thout streams which would be most attractive for visitors and valuable to our own people if kept properly stocked, and 1 am very hopeful of securing legislation which would accomplish this, and expect to try to Work it out at a very early date. "I am always glad to nave the Brevard News. It is a splendid pa per and reflects the energy and fine sp fit. of Brevard and Transylvania County. 1 wish for it a continued success, which it richly deserves. j "Very sincerly yours, "Zebulon Weaver" of Institute Hummer's Window of coin and immense Irish potatoes | are shown, also a, fine' specimen of liam weighing 50 pounds, a sample | of the sausage made 011 the farm, 1 molasses, and other products Un- ' usually clear photographs show dif- I ferent views of the buildings, and I otherwise depict the various activi- j ties of the school.

The beautiful dresses on display in the Nobby Shop appealed to one of the colored damsels, it is said, and without so much as "by your-Ieave,'' or even a "thank-you," she carried one of the pretty dresses home with her. Then, it is said, these colored sisters visited the store of O. L. Er- j win and helped themselves to a few articles, and evidently desiring- some of the luxuries of life, they stopped into the Mcintosh Variety Store and lifted some of his excellent merchan dise. On thy way home thp articl " I on d'splay in Miss Emma Bagwell's i store appealed to them and they I proceeded to help themselves to a j few things there, so it is said. Mrs. Lawrence found her stolen dress and notified the officers, who made arrest of the women and recov ered practically all of the goods that had been stolen Saturday and Saturday night. It is said that shop' lifting has been going on here for I sometime, and it is believed the ar- 1 rest of the colored women will mean j the end of this practice. egertoT RETURNS ! FROM LONG VISIT! B.
