SAl'LES of sugar BEET SENT FACTORY Grown In Different Sections of County In Order To Test Quality of Soil , JP<:actory to be located^ HERE IF SOIL IS GOOD Farmers and Business Men In terested In the Possibility of Sugar Industry Samples of sugar beet grown in Transylvania county were sent Tues day to The Continental Sugar com any, Toledo, as part of the program eing waged to Dring a beet sugar factory into this section. More than a year ago representatives of the Agricultural Division of the South ern Railway company and Harry H. Patton, city clerk, began interesting the people of Transylvania county in j the sugar beet industry. Soil ex-j perts were engaged, and their judg-, ment was that the soil in this val ley is especially adapted to the growing of the sugar beet. The Continental company said if the beet Could be successfully grown here that factory would be. placed, some place in the county for the pur pose of making sugar from the beet. It was decided to test the soil by growing the' beet in various sections of the county. Messrs. Russell Brown and Carl W. .'Talley .planted the beet in the | Penrose section C. C. Yongue, ofi Brevard; J. R. Whitmire, P. A. Morgan and Sam Gillespie of Cher ryfield; J. L. Gillespie of Calvert, and Oat Shipman and Jordan Whit mire were among those testing the crop. Others in the county planted crops, but samples were gathered on ly from the above named for this particular test. Others will be sent later. Word from the factory will be awaited with great interest, as it means much to this section. If the beet is pronounced good, then the farmer is given an opportunity of growing a cash crop that briigs real money, The factory, in making the sugar, would employ a large force of workers. . i k PR1TCHARD HEARD H BY ROSMAN GROUP Hon. George M. Pritchard, repub lican candidate for congress in the Tenth Congressional District, spoke to a large audience in the Rosman school building last Saturday night, and from the moment that L.

Younr Ward was 28 years of age, and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Ward of Brevard, and h i many friend- in this county, She negio is in jail at Greenville. MRS. SILVERSTEEN HEARD BY FRIENDS Many expressions of praise have been heard from the hundreds of Brevard people who "listened in" Thursday night of last week at the address broadcasted by Mrs. J. S. Silversteen over Station WWNC, Asheville, on the political issues of ? the day. Mrs. Silversteen spoke unr| der the auspices of the Democratic Executive Committee of Buncombe 1 county. ? . i "Never has there been a time," declared Mrs.' Silversteen, "when so j much that is cruelly false has been . broadcast thrpughout ihc land in ev- j try conceivable manner." She ap pealed to the women of Western North Carolina to prove1 their loy alty to the democratic party that it may never be said when the conflict is over that the women failed to measure up to the highest standard of citizenship. The republicans were 1 charged with purposely trying to j 'confuse the issues of the campaign1 | in their alleged attempt to make it ia campaign of personalities instead of adhering to the real issues. The speaker declared "There is grave danger of being blinded to the real issues in this campaign by the tear bombs and smoke screens of malic ious propaganda that are being con- i stantfy thrown about us." Mrs. Silversteen charged that re ligious prejudice is being used by the republican party to blind the people to the democratic nominee, : declaring that to disqualify one for i political office on account of his 1 religion is un-American and in di- . rect violation of the constitution, i She ridiculed the group of so-called \ "Hoover Democrats," claiming that i one cannot be a real democrat and I vote for the republican nominee for president. ' Speaking of Governor Smith, Mrs. j Silversteen asserted, "We have, never before had a presidential ! nominee so well equipped for that I high office, because of his great j knowledge of government and his fearless honesty, and never before | has our country needed such a man j as at this period in our history." | BLOODHOUNDS GET GOATS OF THIEVES Thieves in the county who are ac customed to 'raiding the proverbial "hen roosts" are beginning to have cold feet by reason of the fact that bloodhounds from Pickens, have been used rather effectively in the past week by Rural Policeman Sims in the elimination of unlawful pos session of local property. Effective check-ups on thievery have been made in the past few days in the Reids Siding section and the Selica community. Mr. Sims requests any one missing personal property to get in touch with him immediate ly and states that bloodhounds will be used in an effort to stop the wave o? petty thievery that has been swue sweeping the county.

Use one-half ounce to the trees two years old to four years old. The I preparation can be had at the B. | and B. Feed and Seed store.

PENDLETON. ) The Transylvania Baptist associa tion convened with the Brevard Bap tist church Wednesday morning, for its annual meeting. A singular rec- . ord begins the minutes of several meetings in the past? "On account of the downpour of rain, etc.," Last year the association met with Knon church at Penrose. This association of churches began in 1881, and is now composed of 26 churches in the county.

Maddry, of Raleigh, was invited to .speak at 1 1 :30, so he cutdd ^ make his schedule in reachig another meeting. The Raleigh minister prais ed the sermon preached by Rev; Mr. Marr, pronouncing it one of the best sermons _.he had ever heard, and de clared ?th'e sermon was "worth a trip to the cunvention to hear." "Baptists have been great evange lizers. Our weakness is in our teach ing .pj-ogram, " said. Dr. Maildry, as he proceeded to discuss the co-oper ative move of the denomination orphanages, mission boards, ministe rial relief, hospitals and Christian ed ucation. "We need a good location for a church right now. in West AshVv.ille where the big rayon mill will soon overwhelmn us." "The mills iit New England 'are coming South so rapidly that we need state boards mofe than ever to keep up with the expansion." "North Carolina has been made over in eight ..years, with respe'ct to good roads, and With respect 'to edu cation" - - "The transformation is so rapid We are hardly conscious of it" - - "Every 5 1-2 people in North. Carolina own an automobile."-': Dr. Maddry raised the question, of the church keeping up with these rap id strides . of science, and necessary changes in methods of spreading the gospel, and eloquently presented the subject. In alluding to the Home Bi nrd- ira-. gedy in Atlanta^-" Because Mr. Carnes stole the Lord's money, I'm not going to do it, too? -one dollar out of every ten belongs' to God. Shall we rob God by keeping 'it? If 1 thought Carnes could defeat ' the Baptist cause, I would be ashamed of my people and quit. Do' you Want to be a 'Little Carnes?'
