^ rank B. Moore, of Greenville,
chief inspector for the Carolina
Power and Light company, and M.
A. Pithoud, construction superin
tendent in charge of building the j
power line through this county, were !
guests of honor at the Kiwanis Club,
last Thursday, and made short talks. :
While the men were not at liberty j
to speak publicly of the plans of the i
power company, they told something
however, of the magnitude of the
undertaking and of the immense volt- j
age that will be carried through this
county when the lines are com- 1
pleted. I!
Mr. Pithoud stated he had never j
worked in a section where all the '
people gave t uch co-operation as j
that found in Transylvania county, j
The "Philosopher of Fletcher,"
Hon, Claude Sales, was present and
delighted the members with witty
taiK. Mr. Sales is a member of the
Henuersonville Kiwanis club.
Dr. T. J. Summey, former presi-j
dent of the club, but now chief of ,
staff of a big New Jersey hospital, !
was present, and all the members ex- I
pressed delight in having him at the !
meeting. Dr. Summey, after ex- .
pressing his pleasure in being back '
in Brevard for a visit, talked of the |
Transylvania Hospital, which he ,
founded, and said:
''I am delighted with the progress |:
that the hospital has made under
the management of Dr. G. B. Lynch
and Mrs. Lynch. They have worked
wonders with the institution, and I
am glad to know that all the doc- 1
tors of the town and county are co
operating with them. The doors are
open to all physicians to take their j
patients there, and treat them.
"I ha%*e heard some word that 1
there is a possibility of the hospital i
closing. I am glad to inform you j
that this report is entirely un
founded, and there is no danger 1
whatever of the hospital closing its ij
doors. It could make better prog- 1 1
ress, however, if you Kiwanians and 1
all other citizens of the town and':
county would lend your moral sup- ]
port. We do not want your money, <
but we do want and need your
friendship." * <
Rev. W. H. Hartsell, director of !
music, and Miss Call, pianist, added (
much, to the enjoyable program, 1
while Secretary Rush Whitmire had <
a fine report to make.

WOMAN'S BUREAU
GREAT INFLUENCE
IN 1HE COMMUNITY
Review of Work Done Shows j
Something of Its
Importance
CO-OPERATES WITH THE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
^Beauty, Health, and Material
Growth of Town Are
Its Objects
? ? ? ?
; That the Women's Bureau is an j
important factor in the community!
life of Brevard is demonstrated by
the various accomplishments of this
organization during the past year. .
Not only has this body of women j
contributed much toward beautifica- '
tion of the town, but it has sponsored (
many movements for community
uplift and has at all times, during
the past three years of its existence, j
been ready to lend a helping hand
toward anv progressive move pro
moted by others, as is manifest in its
varied activities.
A review of the efforts of the past |
year reveals the fact that the W o- 1
men's Bureau is a thriving organiza- ,
tion, whose slogan is "town beautifi- .
cation and uplift," and that Brevard
has benefited in many ways on ac- !
count of the existence of this organ
ization.
A summary of the year's work in
cludes many accomplishments toward
town betterment, some of the out
standing of which may be mentioned
as follows: :
The main objective undertaken by j,
the Bureau during the past year was.]
the second annual flower show staged I,
in August, a summer entertainment 1
feature sponsored annually by this1(
organization for the benefit of tour-lj
ists and residents. This form of 1 1
rummer diversion is generally ac-|]
corded a pleasure and benefit to | ,
residents and guests, and also re- ! j
veals the ability of Brevard women j |
along the lines of varied and suc-j(
cessful flower culture.
Among the outstanding benevo-jj
lences toward community welfare ?
rendered by this organization the \
past year was the donation of $100 i
to the Transylvania Hospital, the (
amount to be used for any purpose
most needed by hospital authorities, j ,
rh? inmates of the county home,
ivere remembered by the Bureau with (
generous donations of Christmas r
baskets for each occupant of the j
home. Active participation in the ]
of Christmas seals and in the {
Red Cross drive was taken by this
organization. (
Response to outside calls for as-|<
sistance was not overlooked by the ;-j
Bureau, since two large boxes of | j
Nothing were sent to the flood suf- j (
ferers in Porto Rico at their time j j
of great need. ' ji
During the three-day tonsil and'j
adenoid clinic held in Brevard the i t
oast summer, the Bureau sponsored j t
:he project to serve hot coffee and i ]
sandwiches to mothers who found it j j
lecessary to remain overnight in the i
:linic with their children.
The Bureau agreed to work in co
operation with the town authorities
n the annual clean-up campaign, j
md to add further interest in this
novement the women offered a prize j
of five dollars to the child who would i <
iccumulate the largest pile of trash j
:n front of his residence. A first
ind second prize was later awarded j
;o two young boys living in different |
sections of the town. ?
In connection with the town beau- ;
:ification program, this organization ?
offefs each year a prize of a five ,
iollar gold piece to the filling sta- ,
tion operator who presents the most |
attractive appearance in the way of j
planting flowers and otherwise ^
ironnd his place of" business, at the
jxpiration of a stated period. ?
A movement was sponsored by the j;
Bureau to present resolutions to the ^
mayor and board of aldermen, re- j
guesting that they take action in j.
;he matter of barring cheap carni- g
/als and traveling shows from the
;own during the summer months. In ,
new of the fact that this form of ,
imusement has not been in Brevard <
n the past several months, it is as- ,
sumed that action on these resolu- ,
;ions was taken by town authorities. t
Another movement toward commun- <
ity betterment was a request put ,
before the mayor and board of al- <
iermen that the city water line be ,
ixtended to Gillespie cemetery. ,
Arbor Day was fittingly observed ; <
by this organization with appropri- ?
ate exercises held in the Brevard ,
Elementary school on that day, after ,
which two spruce trees were planted 4
an the grounds surrounding the ,
school buildings. .
To demonstrate their interest in
and desire to cooperate with the .
Chamber of Commerce, the Bureau :
entertained at dinner the directors ,
of the Chamber of Commerce on the ,
occasion of one of their regular
meetings.
To facilitate the operation of this j
organization and to lend variety and ;
interest to the various meetings, the ,
Bureau membership has been divid- ]
ed into six groups, with one of the <
directors at the head of each group. ]
Each group has had charge of the ;
program at the different meetings, j
and has otherwise assisted in pro- j
moting interest and enthusiasm
among the members. Many interest- j
ing and informative programs have
been presented by these groups alcr.s
a varied line of study.

'BIG REAL ESTATE
DEAL SHADE HERE
Harry Clarke Purchases Fine
Farm From Dr. R. L.
Stokes
What is said to be the biggest real ?
estate deal made this year was the
transfer of the Dr. R. L. Stokes,
farm to Harry P. Clarke. The farm I
embraces 133 acres, with splendid j
buildings, and one of the most sue- j
cessful poultry farms in the county ;
has been operated in connection (
with the general farming. Dr. Stokes:
has owned the farm for about ten '
years, and has made many improve- J
ments on it.
It is understood that Mr. Clarke
will make extensive improvements!
and will devote much of the place j
to stock raising.
The farm has its own water sys
tem, with city power and lights and
telephone service. In fact, it has all
modern conveniences enjoyed by any 1
town property. . .
The sale was made through Bre- 1
vard Realty and Insurance company, j
which is owned by Judson McCrary (
and Alex Kizer. Thisi firm has also
closed several smaller deals since
organization of the company.
The Stokes-Clarke deal involved j
approximately $20,000. I
BATTERIES BEING
MADE HERE NOW
With great promise for a real big j
business for Brevard, is the an-1
nouncenient of the Brevard Battery.,
company that a complete battery
manufacturing plant has been in-,
stalled in that place. It is the in- i
tention of this enterprising con- j
;ern to make batteries that will "com- [
pete, both in quality and price, with
the batteries offered by mail order
louses. Automobile owners of the,
:ounty who are interested in home
production are urged to see these
catteries before making purchases
ilsewhere.
The plant for making the batter- j.
es has cost the local concern sev- :
;ral hundreds of dollars, and means
the addition of many mechanics to
the plant of the Brevard Battery ]
:ompany. : i
Announcement of prices, with a 1
pear's absolute guarantee, is made j
m another page in an advertisement '
)f the Brevard Battery company. <
rhis concern has been in business |
ier<? for seven y<v*rs, with Walter |
Elart and Nat Townsend as manag-i,
irs, i
Several thousands of dollars
?ould be kept in Transylvania county
;ach year through patronage of this
>lant, it is believed, and many lead
ng men and women who have pur
:hased these batteries are emphatic 1
n their assertions that they are not ! |
>nly just as good batteries as can be j.
jurchased for the same money, but | \
;hat they offer a real saving, with ? ;
he company's offer to install the !
satteries in the cars of those mak- i
ng purchases.

Brevard her summer home for many j
rears, died Wednesday, January 9,

CASH MARKET FOR
CHICKENS AT B. & B.
Brittain Brothers Announce J
; Important Addition To
Their Business
j Brittain Brothers, operating as
; the B. & B. Feed and Seed company,
announce that they have perfected
arrangements whereby .a cash market
for poultry will be operated at their
place all the time. Prices are given
in an advertisement in this issue of
The Brevard News, and hereafter a
weekly report will be given, showing
the prices paid each week for poul
try. By February first the company
will be in position to handle eggs
also, and it may be that the project
will develop into a cash market for
farm produce.
It is believed the farmers and
poultry raisers will co-operate with
the B. & B., as this county has long
felt the need of a cash market. Re
lief came about a year ago when the
Farmers Federation started operat
ing its poultry car once a month, dur
ing seasons. The B. & B. will oper
ate its cash market every day in the
week.
It is suggested that farmers watch
the column conducted by the B.
B. each week, in which prices for the j<
coming week will be quoted. u

NOTHING NEW ON ;
CONNESTEE WRECK !
t
1
J. A. Forsythe, Jr., manager of
the Southern Adjustment Burfeau at
Charlotte, spent iast Saturday in
Brevard, investigating the truck
that went off Connestee Falls three j ^
iveeks ago, and according to Officer j
Eck Sims, who handled the case, de-jt
clared only a fifty per cent loss on |
the truck. This small loss wasj
largely contributed to the manner in j
which the K. & M. Auto company;
handled the truck with its wrecking j t
crew. *
It will be retailed that a two-ton
truck was driven over Connestee
Falls. A man by the name of Moore
is owner of the vehicle, it is said.
The driver of the truck had spent
Christmas in Brevard, and was sup
posed to have been on his way back
to Greenville, where the owner of
the truck lived, when the accident
occurred.
KOSMAN SCHOOL IN
GREAT PROGRAM
I
(By J. F. CORBIN)
A community improvement contest
s being carried on by the Young
Tar Heel Farmers in Rosman High
School. So far as the writer knows
here has not been a similar contest
carried on in his part of the state
jefore. The beginning of the con
gest was similar to a group of school j
boys choosing up to play a game of ' |
'Two-Eyed Cat" ball like so many
)f us older folks played years ago. j
The class at large elected twojj
boys to be the leaders of the two ; i
groups, Girtha Watkins was elected c
eader of Group One,- and Weldon r
Salloway the leader Group Two. fc
Both boys are natural leaders and ;e
sutstanding boys of the classes. j
The two leaders alternately select- l
;d the other members of the class to : I
ielp them in their group, every mem- lv
>er of the claases being engaged in 1 (
the contest and the groups are of,l
squal number. A list of the things
to be done by the boys at home was 1
then made and posted in the class r
room. This list is composed of a \
hundred different things to be done I
on the home farm by the pupil which s
will improve the living conditions of
the home and the earning capacity j
of the farm, such as screening the f
home, .putting water in the home, 1
making useful- tools, repairing and r
painting the home buildings, prun
ing orchards, etc. Each job done is i
given a rating in the contest ac- (
cording to its usefulness and work i
required to accomplish. The contest .]
was on and the word given to go on (
a certain day? -the contest ends at i
the close of the "present school term, t
10 REDUCE TAXES
ON LAND IS HOPE
OF LEGISLATURE
Increase on Gasoline Is Cer
tain To Pass, It is
Understood
GALLOWAY AND HAMLIN
IN BREVARD SUNDAY
No Hope For Having State
Take Over the 6-Months'
School Term
Word from Raleigh is to the ef-j
feet that but few really important
bills have been introduced, and it is
said no real legislation will be pro
posed or acted upon until later in
the session.
_ The proposal to add one cent ad
ditional gasoline tax to the four
cents already levied, the extra one
cent to go to the county roads, is'
one of the most popular measures
so far introduced. It . is believed i
that this measure would reduce the I
tax rate in Transylvania county i
about 17 cents on the hundred. With [j
i few more like provisions, with re- j,
luctions, this county's rate would be j,
materially reduced. ?
There is but little hope that the i;
state will take over the* 6-months' i
:ouny school operations. Several (
Jills .have been introduced, looking
:6 thb end, but the fact that no j
jlace can be found where this ad
litionyl tax can be levied, caused
>ome ()f the friends of the movement
o, have serious doubts of its pas- ,
.. . J
One thing' that causes much joy inj1
he state is the fact that practically , ]
til members of the legislature are 'j
letermined, if possible, to reduce!]
?he rate on farm property. Certain h
t is that no measure will be enacted I
hat will increase the tax burden on
he farmer.
There may be a sales tax placed i '
)n luxuries, it is said* and an addi- '
ional increase may be placed against ij
lower and light companies. Somei
alk is heard about iricreasing the ,
axes on telephone and telegraph!
:ompanies, but none of these meas
ires have so far reached any place :
n the legislative channels where any | .
:ertainty can be placed upon their !
inal disposal. .
Senator Coleman Galloway and ,
tepresentative Lewis P. Hamlin, it
s said, will be in Brevard during,
he week-end, and will meet with in- 1
erested citizens, discussing legis-!(
ation of interest to this county. , (
Senator Galloway has introduced*
tiany bills' in the senate, while the j I
epresentative, Mr. Hamlin, has in- 1 ?
roduced no measures at all. Sena-'1
or Galloway's bills have all been of ,s
ocal measure, dealing mostly with , J
ounty government and county off i- 1 *
ers. 1
It is said many people will en- 1
leavor to converse with the two
aw-makers when they visit Brevard, <
md in this way the gentlemen of i
he legislature may be fully informed f
>f the wishes of the people of the 1
ounty concerning local legislation, i
