ACCIDENTAL DEATH
TMgedy Occurred at Plant o i
P^Roiman Tanning Extract
Company
Frank King, a young man employ
ed at Rosman Tanning Extract com
pany, at Roeman, was accidentally
killed while at the plant last Tuesday
evening. It is said no one saw the
accident, which, it is presumed, was
caused when the young man acci
dentally stepped onto a belt and was
hurtled across the big wheel. Death
is said to have been almost instan
taneous. . ^ .
The vjctim of the accident was the
son of 'Gus King, originally from
East Fork. He was married two
months ago, it is said, to Miss Win
nie Patterson.
Funeral services were conducted

According to olTiciais of the com
pany, young King was not employed
about the engine, where the acci
dent occurred, and what he was do
ing there is a mystery, these officials
say. ' It is said that bars have been
erected about the engine room for
the purpose of keeping people away
from that part of the plant, and -it
was necessiXv, it is said, for King to
have crawled through these bars in
^ order to reach the engine room.

ENGLISH PURCHASES
CAR OF GUERNSEYS
T. A. English, master farmer oi
Transylvania county, has brought
another herd of 30 Guernsey heif
ers to his farm at Davidson River.
Many of the herd are pure bred, and
? the balance of high grade. These
will be sold to farmers of this and
adjoining counties next spring and
summer, if not all taken before that
time. Mr. English says if these
should be sold at onco, then he will
t>li!lir in a wither cor load. ?? -
?-> It is the master farmer's way of
marketing his corn and hay. Mr
English says he intends to plani
_ crops and harvest them just as long
as he* owns land. Often there is nc
market for corn and hay, and some
times when there is market for thest
crops, the prices are below cost o1
production. So he buys Guernsej
heifers .feeds them on his crops o;
corn and hay, and finds market foi
these crops through the sale of th<
cows. In this way,- he is renderinf
great service to the county in tha
he is getting the farmers to discarc
scrub stock and buy the pure bred o:
high grade cow.
POULTRY CAR TO BE j
i IN COUNTY AGAIN
At Lake Toxaway Tuesday,
Brevard Wednesday,
H'ville Thursday
Of interest to the farmers and
poultry raisers of the county is the
announcement that the Farmers
Federation will load another car
.here beginning next Tuesday. Tho
car will start loading at Toxaway on
Tuesday, will he in Brevard Wednes-'
day and in Hendersonville Thurs
day.
Prices to be paid are given in an
advertisement on another page in
'this issue of The Brevard News. An
nouncement has been made by offic
ials of the Farmers Federation that
? these prices are based on the New '
| York market reports of Monday,
Nov. 12, and if the market should
rise between now and the day the I
car is to be here, that any such ad- ,
| vances in prices will be paid here. ,
In other words, the Farmers Feder
ation will give every cent that New
'.York markets justify on the days j
'? the car is in the county, and there J
.is likelihood that bigger prices will!
.be paid than those quoted in the ad-f
vertisement.
' kThe Farmers Federation has left)
several hundred dollars in the courJ- 1
tv during the past year, and the faclt
that a cash market is brought aj
t most to the doors of the people /'of
I the county has given great stimula
tion to poultry raising here.

HOOVER CARRIED
ALL BUT 8 STATES
Smith Given Two Northern
States and Hoover Gets
Four In South
Herbert Hoover's election on Toes
day of last week was nothing short
of a regular .landslide. Official
counts in the vaHous states give Mr. I
Hoover 444 electoral votes and Mr.
Smith the remaining 87. Smith car- j
ried six of the Southern states known ,
as they "Solid South," while Hoover;
carried four states of these hereto
fore frfolid democratic states. For
the fifst time since the Civil War,
Virginia, North Carolina, Florida!
and Itexas cast- their votes for the
republican candidate.
Governor Smith carried the fol
lovjig states: 1

TOTAL 444
While Smith lost four of the
southern democratic states, he won
two of the republican eastern states
- ? Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
New York papers ascribe Smith's
success in these two states to the
fact that both of them are largely
Roman Catholic, with bi? per cent
age of foreign voters, and a decided
leaning toward anti-prohibition.
All the farm centers of the whole
west arid mid-west went to Hoover.
North Carolina lead the Southern
states in majorities given Hoover,
this state's majority reaching almost
the 00,000 mnrk. The fact that
Max Gardner, democratic candidate
for governor, received a majority ot.
76,000 over his republican opponent,
[ghow? something of the bigness of
[the Hoover vote when he, on the
other hand, received near 60,000 nia
'jority over Smith.
[? Virginia, Florida and Texas gave
; Hoover majorities ranging between
1 20,000 and -10.000.
Hoover received approximately 25
per cent more popular vote than
that going to Smith, Hoover's pop
ular vote being, in round numbers,
21.000,000 fthd Smith's 16,000.000.
It was the most smashing defeat
ever given a candidate for president,

"BIG L1GE" OWEN
GONE TO PRISON
Wept A# He Said Goodbye to
The Brevard News Force
?Two- Year Term
Elijah Owen .known and liked by
many hundreds of jx-ople as "Big.
Lige" Owen, left Brevard last Sa<3 j
urday in custody of Sheriff B. J.
Sitton, for the state prison at Ra
leigh to, begin a two-year sentence I
imposed on Mr, Owen at the April
term of court, this year. Owen had
iven notice of appeal, but decided,
o said, to withdraw the appeal and
begin serving his sentence at once. |
Mr. Owen's home is in the Glou
cester section of the county, \?here j
he has many relatives and friends.
He is married, and has two children.;
One child is 12 years of age and the
other is a babe, about 19 months!
old. Mr. Owen paid a call at The
News office before leaving Brevard,
and talked feelingly of his enforced
absence from family and friends, and
appeared deeply concerned about
his wife and children while he is to
be away. He* expressed the greatest
confidence in the kindness of his
neighbors in the county, believing,
he said, that they would do all in.
their power to lighten the pain and
sorrow his loved ones must endure.
The big mountain man made no ef
fort to hide the tears that coursed |
down his cheeks as he talked of his
wife and children ,and of how he
would miss the big mountains whose
every crag and peak are familiar to
him.
T.C. GALLOWAY WON
SENATORIAL PLACE!
T. Coleman Galloway was elected!
to the state senate in last week's 1
election, over Ralph R. Fisher, re- \
publican candidate. Both. Mr. Fish- 1
pr-anH Mr. Galloway are Brevard \
: Transylvania, JacksoiT?^|^^?(' . -
I counties. Mr. Fisher earn j
Isylvania and Jackson counties,
j'Mr. Galloway lead in Haywood. The
Haywood democratic majority was
{larger than the combined majorities
i of the other two counties.
I Official figures could not be ob
tained, but it is said that Gallo
I way's majority , is between seven and
' eight hundred.
Mr. Galloway's election as sena
tor, and L. P. Hamlin's election to
the legislature, gives this county a
republican in one house and a dem
.ocratic member in the other house
I of the state's law-making body.
MAYOR WHITMIRE
! MEANT BUSINESS
i
i
I Mayor T. W, Whitmire, manager
| Of the Broadway Motor company,
^announces that he is in hearty ac
leor'd with those citizens of town and
county who have determined to "get
down to business," and make things
hum around here. Already the mayor
has started in on the new era of ac
tivity by selling an Oldsniobile. to
Prof. T. C. .Henderson, and is now
scouring the woods for more busi
ness. - <? mc . ?
It is believed that if each man will
get right down to brass tacks and go
to work, pushing hir- business and
helping his neighbor push his, too,
that ere long the old time hum of
? business will be heard in this com
munity. ? ?
fcXeept that of Taft in 1912, when
the split in the republican party be>
tween Taft and Roosevelt forces
permitted Woodrow Wilson, demo
crat, to capture the prize.. In thai
election Taft received next to noth
ling.
