LOCAL CONCERN IN j
NATIONAL PAPERS:
"Hoosier Ginger," a weekly paper |
published by the Hoosier Kitchen
Cabinet people and distributed thru- 1
out the country, carried an interest- j
ing article in a recent issue concern- :
ing the successful methods employed '?
by the Houston Furniture Company, i
of Brevard, in conducting a cabinet j
sale. Mr. Houston had prepared a
chart, on which was placed the names j
of all his salesmen, and the compet
itive spirit resulted in a banner week I
for the Houston store. The chart was
reproduced in the national magazine,
and Brevard and the Houston store
were given wide publicity.
During the sale the local concern
sold 74 Hoosier Kitchen Cabinets in
six days.
Another sale on Hoosier cabinets is
arnounced for beginning next Satur
day, and Mr. Houston and his sales
men are confident this sale will even
eclipse that one which was given such
high praise in the national magazine.
A full page advertisement in this is
sue of The Brevard News tells of the
sale, and of the big free gift of al
uminumwarc to be given with each
cabinet sold.
HEAD THE SCHOOLS
T. C. Hendenon Fails of Re
appointment In Monday's
Board Session
ACTION OF BOARD WAS
BIG SURPRISE TO MANY
New County Superintendent
Is Man With Varied
Experiences.
Upsetting all calculations of the
friends of T. C. Henderson, the
county board of education last Mon
day elected Prof. S. P. Verner as
head of the county schools. Mr. Hen
derson has been county superintend
ent for the past eighteen years, and j
thef schools of the county have made J
great changes under his long adminis- '
tration.
The new superintendent, Prof. Ver- I
ner, has been teaching school at Con- j
nesstee for the past seven years, and :
is considered ' one of the most highly '
educated men in Western North Car
olina. Before coming to Brevard,
Prof. Verner was in South America
for' many years as representative of
the United States, being attached to
the consular service. He is a writer
of note, and many articles of his have
been published in the leading newspa
pers and magazines of the. United
States.
Mr. Henderson is a native Transyl
vania/I, and belongs to one of the
most highly respeafiad and influen
tial families in the county. It is said
that Mr. Henderson has an unusually
high standing at Raleigh as a county
school official, being considered by
the state department as one of the
foremost men in all the state among
county superintendents.
It is believed that the change in
the* school heads was caused by pres
sure brought to bear upon the school
board by those citizens of the county
who feel that Mr. Henderson is large
ly to blame for the increased cost of
the schools in Transylvania county.
Sfo criticism was made of his adminis- j
tration of the school affairs, it being '
:he expressed belief of the board that
ie has done wonders in the cause of
education in this county.
It is known that one member of
the board was anxious for the re
jlection of Mrtallenderscn, while two
members wer? for making a change.
;n order to comply with the wishes,
which they said, had been expressed
by the citizens and tax payers of the
rounty.
It is an evident fact that the new
Doard will follow the lines of econ
>my to the very limit. This was given
evidence in the meeting Monday when j-1
members of the board searched the j p
lew school law in studying its pro- ! is
,-isior.s, and looking for every place jb
ivhere money might be saved in thc ir
operation of the schools of the coun-^
y- . js'
Mr. Verner was quoted as having
said that he would be satisfied to do
the work of county superintendent
Eor the actual pay allowed by the 'iev
state law for a county of such popu
ation as that of Transylvania coun
ty. it is expected also that the new j
superintendent will not have a full
:ime office clerk, but have assistance I
anly upon meeting days and special j E
occasions. jti

REVIVAL ENDS IN
GREAT GATHERING
Concluding service of the two
weeks' revival meeting of the Bre
vard Methodist Church was held Sun
day night with practically every
available seat in the church auditor
ium and the annex- occupied on this
occasion. The Baptist congrgation
disbanded for this service, and many
from this church and other denom
inations attended regularly during the
special meetings.
Excellent sermons were preached
by the pastor, Rev. A. L. Aycock.
throughout the twewweek period, and
much interest was manifest and a
good attendance in evidence at each
service. It is felt that great good to
the church and community will re
sult from this special series of meet
ings.
Several additions to the church
have already been made, and it is
expected that a number of others,
will unite with the church either by|e
profession of faith or by letter at an ;T
early date. An impressive baptismal 1 1
service for babies was held at the |]
Sunday morning hour of worship.
A special feature of the meetings
was the splendid response given the
pastor in his call at each service for
the numheir of chapters in the Bible
that had been read and for those who
had prayed since last meeting to
ge-'fl-jer. The response was considered
(gratifying, thereby evidencing the
fact that prayer and Bible reading are
i not forgotten things of th the past.
HOLDS REVIVAL
Rev. Wallace Hartsell, pastor of
! the Brevard Baptist Church, is con
; ducting a ten-day revival meeting at

GOLF ATTRACTING !
MANY TOWN FOLKS;
Unusually large numbers of peo- J
pie are taking advantage of the j
"Open House" event at the Brevard
Country Club. The club members '
haV'i asked everybody in the county
to play gold on the local course dm-- }
ing the two weeks from April 15 to |
May 1, as pruests of the club.
Many people who have never be
fore tried to play the great game have ;
been seen during the week making i
good headway as beginners. The
course is in Lxeeflent shape, and the
citizens seem to appreciate the op- !
portunity of learning something of ?
the game.
Some few hesitated in tfying the I
(rame because they knew nothing
about golf, but upon beir.g informed
that all the present players here were
beginners less than three years ago,
they forgot thei rtimidity and began
placing the ball out over the greens.
With warmer weather promised for
the end of the week, it in believed i
hundreds of men and women, boys |
;ind girls of the town and county will j
be seen at the club, many of whom j
will be playing a fairly goid game by
the time the "open house" period!
comes to a close at the end of the I
month.
MUCHlNTERESTTN
THE M'INTOSH SALE
Much interest is being taken in the
"Farewell Sale," now going on at the
Mclr.tosh Variety Store. Mr. J. B. S.
Mcintosh, owner of the popillar store,
is planning to relinquish active man
agement of the store, and devote his
time to hij desk work, which has
grown into an extensive business. Mr.
Mcintosh is recognized as one of the
outstanding merchants in his line
throughout the Southwest, and manu
facturers not only in America, but
in the Old Country as well, are very
fond of the Brevard merchant, and
it is said send him many very valuable
items which he can sell at prices away
under that asked for the same articks
in regular arts stores, even of New
York City. /
For some time Mr. Mcintosh has
suffered from an injury to his arm
and friends have urged him to i
take life more easily. At last he has
consented to heed their advice, and is
conducting the sale in order to get
his affairs in shape to turn over to
another for management.
People who have attended the sale
have been heard to express surprise
at being enabled to purchase goods
at the prices prevailing at Mcintosh's
during this sale.

The deceased, wif* 0f Lewis P.
