QUIET PREVAILED
AT THE ELECTION
'' ' ' ' ? j
With quiet and peace prevailing
throughout the county, Transylvania
conducted its greatest and most in
fcnsely interesting election Tuesday,

body seemed to be really enjoying
the occasion. Not an arrest was
made in Brevard during the election,
!?nd many people have been heard to
express appreciation of the county's .
Pine citizenship in thus conducting a |
hotly contested campaign and elec- |
tion, with no trouble whatever, ex- ,
perienced during the trying times, j
Much credit is given Mayor T. \V. |
Whitmire for the happy condition, '
because of the appeal made by the
nayor. in last week's Brevard News.;
Many ministers referred to this ap
peal in their sermons last Sunday,
ind leading men and women all over
.he county added their influence to
he cause of peace and good fellow- J
shin during the election.
It is said the election Tuesday was -
;he quietest, most orderly and j
peaceful of any election held here I

PRITCHARD GETS
COUNTY MAJORITY
George M. Pritchard, republican,
received a majority over Congress
man Zebulon Weaver, democrat, of
47 according to unofficial returns, in
the contest for congress in Transyl
vania county. Mr. Weaver has been
in congress continuously rince 1916,
und heretofore has received large
majorities.
Returns from other counties in
the Tenth district were not avail
able at the time of going to press,
and it is not known whether or not
Weaver will be successful in hold
ing the district.
Buncombe county, home of Con
gressman Weaver and a county that
always gave him a big majority,
went this time to his opponent,
George M. Pritchard, by a small
majority. The loss of Buncombe
may mean Weaver's defeat.
MRS. CRAWFORD IS
NAMED CHAIRMAN |
Mrs. V. A. Crawford has been t|
named as chairman of the Annual ji
Red Cross Membership Drive which |
begins next Sunday, November 11, 1
and lasts for one week. County '..|j
Chairman Jos. S. Silvcrstccn has i
perfected his organization for the '
tttenjfcqrship drive, . r.amine
Crawford to the post of chairman. |'
Mrs. Crawford will name' sub-!
committees to assist her in the work '
over the county. In the Kiwanis ,
club, Brown Carr has been placed in I,
charge _o? the work, and it is ex-'j
pec ted that he will brine the matter
to the attention of the Kiwaniang at
today's meeting. |
It is hoped that practically all
citizens of the county will join the j
Ked Cross during this roll call, as
this is one organization in which all;
people can find agreement. I
i
(Editorial) i'
FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS, BROTHERS
AND CHRISTIAN MEN AND WOMEN.
The c&mpalgn in ended, the election is over. Many J
harsh and bitted words have been spoken, and feeling has <
been high. Smith and Hoover fought each other, and
fought h&rd ; their friends fought with them, and these '
battled like real soldiers.
Hoover defeated Smith, and Smith immediately
showed his bigness by sending a telegram to Hoover, con
gratulating the successful candidate and pledging the
New York Governor's full support to Mr. Hoover as pres
ident of the United States.
The battle is over between Smith and Hoover.
Let us hope that it is so with the friends and follow- |
ers of the two great men. Let us. pray that it is so with
the men of Transylvania county. i
Here, in this small county, where all the people know
one another and all the folks should be real neighbors,
there is no room for lasting differences, and less excuse
for feelings that would take one iota of happiness away
from any man, woman or child in the county.
Here in Transylvania county we, aB a people, have
certain problems that must be faced and studied and
solved, if any of the citizens are to make any real progress.
Our merchants have their problems, and they are serious
difficulties; our professional men and women face ob
stacles, and they are immense. Our children are looking
tp us for education and training, without which we stand
convicted of failure in our duty to them.
Let us be as one people; let us be as real neighbors.
Whatever affects one Transylvania county family, most
certainly affects all the other families in the county.
Then, of far greater importance than any of these
j pressing questions of the moment, is that great big fact
I that each one of us must die. From this there is no es
j cape. For some of us death will come in the immediate
i future, but to each of us the event is certain at some time
or other. (
As neighbors, those who survive must bury their |
dead. Can we afford to face this certain event with mal
ice in our hearts against our neighbors, ? malice engend
ered in a political campaign? Can we go to sleep at
night with hate in our hearts for our fellows ? a hate born
in the heat of political battle?
Next Sunday, at church, let us look about and see if
there is one whom we hate, or dislike, and then let us re
call that God is Love, and God is not mocked ? that we
cannot hate our fellow man and love God; that we can
not be at war with a neighbor and at peace with God.
Friends, neighbors, the men and women of Transyl
vania county and their children are worth more than all
the presidents and politicians combined. Let's stand, a
real community; let's live, real neighbors; let's work to
gether and for one another, real iriends!

EARTHQUAKE FEU
j IN MOUNTAIN BKLT
From Knoxville to Spartan
burg, and Winston-Salem
to Murphy
NO DAMAGElxJNEj
MANY ARE FRIGHTENED
Cause of Quakes Discussed ?
Long Time Since One
Was Felt Here
i People in Western North Carolina
were greatly concerned last Friday
night when an' earthquake was felt,
throughout the mountain section.
Many people in Brevard and' Tran
sylvania county felt the shock, and
while it was very plain here, yet its
'force was much smaller than in
| Asheville. In that city, nevv.-paper
j reports say, the shock' Was .';ost
i heavy, big iron safes and other
j heavy furniture being moved nut cf
' place, so great was the shock.
I The trenvor was felt from Knox
Iville, Tennessee, to Spartanburg, S.
iC., and from Winston-Salem to
i Murphy. * No damage whatever was
'done, more than many people were
terribly frightened.
i Earthquakes are due to various
causes. Slight subteranean tremors
may be due to the falling of roofs
I of caves. Other accompanying vol
canic, eruptions probably result from
'underground explosions of confined
i steam. Slumping of submarine land
along the .coasts of continents and
landslides in mountainous regions
are also causes. The cause of the
1 great destructive earthquakes?, how
!ever, is traced to the sudden yield
ing of the earth's crust' in places in
adjustment to the cooling and
shrinking interior, producing what
is known as a "fault" or displace
ment of gerat masses of rock strata.
:The center of this disturbance is
usually from eight to ten miles be
low the surface.
I From this focus, or centrum, as
lit is called, the tremor travels in
concentric waves like the waves pro
Iduced when a pebble is dropped id
[h still pool,? with this, difference,
'that whereas on the water the wave
'? radiates onlv .in a horizontal direc
tion, in the 'case of the earth trem
'or, the radiations are in all direct
ions. This. being the case, the move
ment of the quake on the surface is
always the same as the widening
rings of the pool; and this cotiM iot
I be Otherwise unless the disturbance
I occurred at the very center >.i tbe
I earth. , , ? ?
1 The point on th3 surface pel Pe
dicular to the centrum is the ipi
i centrum, and at this point the shocJt
lis first felt, being communicaed by
jwhat is known as the vertical wav-3,
which gives rise to a vertical up
!heavel. At distances .on the surface
i farther removed from the center the
1 movement is oblique. The time a
which the shock is felt in surround
ing localities varies With the distance
[from the centrum and the character
'of the soil. The motion is rapidly
'communicated in regions of hard
'crystalline rock, while >n localities
of Softer material, its velocity is
much less. The average rate ot
spe^d ranges from 30 to 40
minute, or more than double u?e
velocity of the swiftest projectile
shot from the most improved gun.
| Rumblings and oth?v noises are us
ually heard before, Ju""K "nd some
times after a sensible eartbqnak^
sometimes at a distance of
I from the center of the disturbanc^

I strongly felt at so great a distance
as 50 miles from the center, the Ac
tual range of the b<m^ntal motion.
of the ground is usually less tha?
one-tenth of an inch, but thc mo
tion causes bodies above
move much more. A
in this connection w that eartk
quakes which have beiwi among W?
most destructive of natural cats?
have left in historic tirocf*
'almost unchanged the configuration
of the land, their detfructiveness be
ing due chiefly to the fall of build
ings and to the sea waves which fre
quently accompany them.
