* EXTEND TAX PAYMENT
' UNTIL FIRST OF AUGUST
i
' County commissioners Monday
1 voted to extend time for pay
' ment of state and county taxes
' until the first day of August,
' but requested The Brevard News
' to state that this is positively
1 the last time such postponement
1 will be made. All property on
which taxes have not been paid
on or before August first will be
: advert'aed for sale during Aug
vst. The commissioners have
been very thoughtful, it is point
ed out, in giving this long ex
tension, and they express the
hope that all taxes will have
been paid by that time, and
make positive assertion that no
other time will be allowed after
thai date.

number of years.
The large church at Calvert was
filled with friends of the good wo
man who had at some time come un
der the fine influences of her won- 1
derful character and splendid work, i
The great floral offerings gave fur- 1
ther evidence of the deep love and 1
affection which the community felt1
for the departed woman. "It was said !
by some one in attendance that1
"every person who had known the
deceased woman had been made bet
ter because of the acquaintance and
association with her."
BARRETT FAMILY
MOVE TO THE CITY
J. O. Barrett's family moved this
week to West Asheville, where Mr.
Barrett is publishing a rapidly grow
ing newspaper. The family will be
missed here, and Miss Sara Barrett
will be especially missed because of
her splendid activities in church and
Sunday school work.
Mr. Barrett's Newspaper, The West
Asheville News, has had much to do
with the development of Enka, and
devotes much of its space to the big
rayon industry just starting there.
Upon the arrival of the young Dutch
women last week who are to train
the workers in making rayon, The
West Asheville News published a I
welcome to them in their own lan- 1
guage, a piece of newspaper enter- 1
prise that challenged the admiration I
of the officials of the big Enk:i '
concern. I
Friends in Brevard, while regret
ting the departure of the Barrett
family, have expressed pleasure in
the development of Mr. Barrett's
, business interests. He has already
been of much service to people- of
J Transylvania county in assisting
many local men in obtaining spfen?
| did positions at the big plant
; Enka.

COUNTY GENERAL
COURT CONVENES
Judge English Explains Pur
pose of Court ? Speedy
and Fair Hearings
BREESE PLEDGES SUPPORT,
URGES CITIZENS TO AID
.Other Members of Bar Join In
Opening Discussion on
Procedure
Transylvania's General County
Court held its first session Monday
morning, with Judge D. L. English
J presiding, and Ralph R. Fisher* as
i solicitor. AH members of the feru
| vard Bar were present, representing
' their clients. The court room was
.'well filled with citizens from every
! section of the county, many of whom '
I had cases in court and others who'
jhad come to witness the opening of!
the County Court.
Sheriff T. E. Patton, Jr., formally ;
opened the court, and Judge English i
then made a short but most impres-|
sive calk addressed to the memoern
of the bar, officers of. tha court, and
I to the citizens of the county. The
: court's first statement was a request
I to the sheriff that he see to it that
all people in the court room be
seated, and that perfect order be(
maintained; that a court cannot!
function properly without most per-)
feet older prevailing. i
Then Judge English told of the'
organization of the new court, and
its purpose. The state legislature*
several years ago, recognizing the
congested condition of the dockets in!
practically ali counties in the state,
passed a law that authorized county1
commissioners to create County Gen
eral Courts when such action was
deemed necessary. The commisisoners
of this county, the court said, were
faced with a condition which called
for many special terms of the Super
ior court, or the creation of a coun
ty court, and believing that it would
be more economical for the tax
payers of the county to operate a
General County Court than to hold
special terms of Superior court, or
ganized this court in order to clear
the docket.
It is the court's intention to give|
the very best of its efforts to just;
settlement of all disputes between the '
cHizens of the county in all civii i
suits, and to hear all the facts andj
evidence in criminal cases, and ren-j
der decisions based only upon such;
evidence as may be presented at the'
trial, which must give to each and
every defendant all and every right
that is provided under our constitu
tion for men at the bar of justice.
Judge English asked the members
of the bar, court officers and all cit
izens to assist him and the solicitor
in i making of the court such a
tribunal that it shall have the very
highest respect and confidence of ail
the citizens, regardless of politics,
religion, wealth, poverty, or social
standing.
Response to the fine address by the
judge was great. Wm. E. Breese,
veteran of the Brevard bar, pledged
his support to the court, in which he
and all attorneys are officers, and
urged the citizens generally to lend
their best efforts to making the
court a most profitable institution in
the administration of justice in Tran
sylvania county.
! Others made similar pledges, and
half an hour was spent in clarify
ing questions as to the court's juris
diction and the manner in which
cases are to be brought before this
court.
ARTIST WORKING
IN BREVARD NOW
R. R. Woodson, Western North
Carolina's own artist, is attracting
much attention in' town with his
paintings in the various business
houses. He has done work this week
in the Bargain Annex of Plummcrs
Store, and in the Canteen.
Mr. Woodson is a native of Bun
combe county, haviqg been born and j
reared in North Buncombe, near the
I Madison county line. He has painted
; pictures in many lands, however, and
all over the United States, some of
his paintings having been on exhibi
tion in art galleries where he has
received several hundred dollars for
a single painting.
While he is versatile with his brusii
| yet his work is that of mountain
| scenery. Having spent his youth
among the foothills lying between
the Blue Ridge mountains on the
one side, and the Great Smoky
Mountains on the other, it is but
natural that the artist's eye is train
ed to the beauty of the mountains.
Mr. Woodson is acompained here
by his bride, who is a granddaughter
of Capt. William Garrison of Civil
war fame, whose farm adjoined that
of the Woodsons. The young artist,
after having traveled extensively, and
lived much of the Bohemian life of
artists, came back to his beloved
mountains and claimed the sweet
heart of his boyhood days.
Mr. and Mrs. Woodson are stopping
at the Bryant House. Many people
gather about the place where he is
painting and watch him as he trans
fers the glory of an evening sun sink
ing behind the western hills to the
canvas before him.
79 CASES ON FIRST
CO. COURT DOCKET
Many Plead Guilty, Others Are
Given Nol Pros With
Leave by Court
WILL SIT AGAIN JUNE
17 TO CONTINUE WORK
Several Defendants Given Un
til First Monday in July
to Prepare Cases
, Seventy-nine cases were on the
j docket for trial at the first session of
| the new County Court, many of
i which were continued until the July
term, because of the fact that many
defendants had had but short notice
that their cases were to be brougm
up in the new court. Judge English
stated he did not want to work any
hardship on any one, and granted
these first continuances witiiout
question, but with the emphatic as
sertion that these are to be beard at
the time set for them.
Others were contirued until Mon
day, June 17, when the court wiil
again sit.
All cases coming up so far have
been on the criminal docket, an<l
these were misdemeanors, involving
violation of the liquor laws, carrying
concealed weapons, fighting, and a
few larceny cases. In none but that
of driving cars under the influence
of whiskey did Judge English dis
play any tendency to be harsh in his
judgments. It was clearly indicat
ed, however, that the man who
drives an automobile along the high
ways while under influence of whis
key cannot reasonably expect any
mercy in the County Court.
Several defendants plead guilty,
through counsel, to charges against
them, while others were convicted
on evidence. Fines were imposed on <
some, while one man drew a jail (
sentence of three months, with sen
tence suspended on condition thati
defendant appear in court at stated
intervals and show that he is not
dealing in whiskey in any manner.
Solicitor Fisher was granted leave
to refrain from acting as prosecutor
in cases where he had prevously been
employed as defence counsel. In
these cases the court will appoint a
prosecutor to relieve Mr. Fisher.
Z. W. NICHOLS DIED
EARLY WEDNESDAY!
The community was shocked Wed
nesday morning on learning of the)
death of Z. W. Nichols, which oc- ,
curred at his home in Brevard 'a{j
10:30 o'clock Wednesday morning.' I
following a brief illness due to a J
stroke.
Mr. Nichols, who had been prac
tically an invalid for the past 25
years, had apparently been in His
usual health until a few hours before
his death. Mr. Nichols was a mem
ber of the Methodist church and had
been a steward in the church, for)
many years. He was in the drug
business in Brevard for many years,
being owner of what is now Macfie's
drug store, but ill health years ago,
compelled him to give up active bus
iness. He formerly resided in j
Asheville, where he was also en-|
gaged in the drug business. He wasi
an influential and greatly beloved
man in the community.
Surviving are his wife, who was
before her marriage, Miss Leslie
Atkins, of Durham; and two sons,
Z. W. Nichols Jr., qf Washington,
D. C., and Charles Nichols, of Los
Angeles, Calif., and tpree grandsons
and one granddaughter. He leaves
also four brothers, J.|W. and Archi
bald, of Asheville; Cicero, of New
York, and Samuel, who lives in the
West, and two sistrfrs, Mrs. William
O'Neill, of Chicago, and Miss Rena
Nichols, of Asheville.
Funeral arrangements had not
been completed late Wednesday.
Mrs. Alice Allison
Mrs. Alice Allison, who was known
here as Alice Wilson, sister og Prof.
Otis Wilson, and related to other
families of Transylvania, was buried
from Round Top Schoolhouse, Carr's
Hill Saturday afternoon June first.
Mrs. Allison was forty-eight, and
passed away after a long illness,
leaving her husband and two sons and
a daughter. She has been living out
of the county, and not many knew of
hei/ death, but the people who did
quickly offered their neighborly ser
vices and the funeral was conducted
by Kev. E. R. Pendleton of Brevard.
Mr. Allison is related to the large
and well-known family of that name
in Transylvania, and he and his three
children have the sympathies of many
in this time of their sorrow.
BANDSTAND TO BE BUILT
BY PRIVATE DONATIONS
Mayor T. W. Witmire "took the
bull by the horn," went' on the war
path, signed up forty men to pay $5
each, and raised a sum with which tc
rebuild the bandstand. The old stanc
was blown down in the recent wind
storm, and the county and city of
ficials, already paying the salary of
the leader, Prof. F. J. Cutter, woulc
not bear the expense of rebuilding
the stand. Hence the work of rais
ing the money by private subsprip
"t v.t ? started. and complete?!.
' LAST CHANCE TO LIST
PROPERTY FOR TAXATION
Frjday, June 7, and Saturday,
June 8, are iast days upon which
tax payers may list their taxes,
according to an announcement
made elsewhere in today's
paper by the list takers. It is
also pointed out that a very
stiff penalty is placed upon all
citizens who fail to list their
property for taxation. It is the
part of wisdom to list property
NOW, and avert additional tax
ation.
BUREAU PLANS 10
ASSIST_BREVARD
^Entertainment of Tourists One
; Big Purpose During
the Summer
I Featuring the meeting of the Wo
j man s Bureau Monday afternoc-n was
I a round table discussion relative to
i tourist entertainment during the
| summer, the discussion being led by
l Mrs. L. B. Haynes. Many helpful sug
j gestions were offered by Mrs. Hayne.
|and by other members present, whicii
I it is thought can be worked out to
the mutual benefit of the summer
visitors and to the residents.
It is the expectation of the Bureau
to begin a* an early date on the for
mulation of plans to provide some of 1
thes2 recreational features for tin
amusement of the summer guests,
some of which it is thought will prove
of special attraction to the tourist*.
Other matters coming up for dis
cussion and action at the meeting
was the appointing of a committee,
consisting of Mrs. T. H. Shipman,
Mrs. C. C. Yongue and Mrs. Bates
Patton, to request tbc county com
missioners to take action on the mat
ter of removing the large stumps in
tne court house lawn which were left
from the recent storm. The commissi
oners, upon consultation, agreed to
attend this matter at once and have
the lawn cleared of this debris.
Another matter pertaining to civic
welfare, which was voted upon was
the appointing of a committee to go
before the town alderman, requesting
this body to ask the merchants to
sweep in front of their places of
business on Saturday, nights after
closing hours and then to have the
street flusher wash the streets in the
business district after this time, there
by assuring clean streets during Sun-'
day." Action was also taken on th?
matter of bringing before the alder-,
men the question of immediate erec- 1
tion of a band stand in order that the 1
free summer concerts may begin at
an early date.
Announcement was made by the1
president, Mrs. '0. L. Erwin, that j
preliminary work had been started on |
thtf\ pchool grounds, preparatory to!
planting shrubbery and otherwise
beautifying the pr?n|ipfs.
maNyWscouts I
i AT CAMP iLLAHEE
(By ALBERTA JENKINS)
Friday, May 24, representation !
from three patrols of Laurel Troop 1 1
I set out, soriTfe* on foot, others in cars|
to enjoy a week's outing at Camp
IUahee, where Mr. and Mrs. Hinton
McLeod hosoitably opened their doors
and out-of-doors for the Scouts' en
joyment.
Having chosen our cabins and de
posited our weighted packs therein,
we fell almost immediately into the
pleasant routine which was to fill
our ensuing days. Miss Cathcart, one
of our very able chaperons, arranged
the program so that all the work of
the camp might be done quickly and
efficiently, with plenty of time for
recreation. This program included
setting-up exercises, colors, break
fast, camp inspection, canoeing
swimming, rest hour, lunch, quiet
hour, canoeing and swimming, rest,
dinner, colors, campfire and taps.
The only detraction from our pleas
ure was the fact that due to the re
cent illness of our beloved Scout
captain. Mrs. McLeod, was unable to
take part in the Scout activities. Un
der our chaperones, Miss Cathcart,
Miss Beaird and Miss Call, many
tests and merit badges were passed
off, so that a splendid showing was
made Thursday night, which was
known as town or stunt night. At
this time, in addition to the acrobatic
stunts, songs, etc., the regular Scout
ceremony was gone through, many
| Scouts being recognized as first
class, second class and tenderfoot
class, second class and tendefemfww
Scouts, and presented with numer
ous merit badges.
Utterly disproving the old saying
that that which starts in hilarity
ends in grief, we entered and de
parted with laughter and song, al
ready planning for another such ex
pedition next year.

COUNTY GETS BUT
LITTLE OF FUNDS
Equalization Board Proves Dis
appointment to Many
Citizens Here
$19,815.32 IS COUNTY'S
PART OF 6-MONTHS' FUND
County Must Bear All Expense
| of One-Teacher Schools
Except One
( Transylvania county has received a
! distinct disappointment at the hands
j of the equalization board, in the mat
' ter of funds allowed for this county
I from the equalization fund for the
I 6-months school term. Publication of
] the unexpectedly small amount com
; ing to this county brought forth
i many expressions of regret from
j those who had believed the amount
i would be much larger.
Transylvania county is to get
1 519,815.32 from the equalization
fund.
Many citizens who had studied the
I school situation expected at i- asc
$30,000 for this county,
j Rutherford county, filled a.- it is
! with big industrial plants, gets
j $90,178.64, four and one-half times
-is much as this county receives
from the fund. The little county of
Ashe receives $69,384.24, or three
and one-half times more than came
to Transylvania county.
Transylvania county has th< coun
ty-wide eight months school term,
and has been doing splendid school
work, notwithstanding the fact that
the county has been crippled, finan
cially, through the government tak
ing so much of the county's area for
the national park, and it was ex
pected that the state equalization
board would consider this strenuous
effort the county has been making
for its schools, and would give a
greater amount than that announced.
Table showing distribution of the
equalizing fund in Western North
Carolina, follows:
Alleghany $18,020.55
Ashe 9,384.24
Avery 50.444.16
Burke 40,8g0.68
Caldwell 58.102.70
Catawba 83,260.31
Cherokee 49,201.40
Clay 21,939.87
Cleveland ?2,5(16.17
Haywood 59,4.r>.v23
Henderson 49,65b. 18
Iredell 70,149.87
Jackson 36,7!MUJ
Macon 46,408.87
Madison 63,196.14
McDowell 27,558.67
Mitchell 25,813.53
Polk 31,595.54
Rutherford 90,178.64
Swain 17,013.16
Transylvania % 19,815.32
Watauga 51,765.45
Yancey 41,903.12
It will be noticed that Macon
county, home county of one member
of the equalization board, receives
$46,408.87, nearly two and one-half
times as much as Transylvania.
This apportionment iO Transyl
vania county means that the county
must bear the full expense of all the
one-teacher schools in the county,
with the exception of Connesstee
scolo. All other one-teacher schools
fall below the attendance required
by the equalization board in order
to share in this fund. -
This county's allotment is a dis
tinct disappointment to many friends
of the public school system.
FAILED TO PAY FOR
THE GAS THEY GOT
Marathon That Ended at Tox
away Won by Local
Officers
Fill 'er up, they said to him,
And he filled 'er to the brim,
With gas and oil, and water too,
And they didn't even say thank you.
Two fellows giving their names as
Chiids and Banks, riding in a Chev
rolet sedan, are said to have stopped
? at the Blythe garage, at Etowah,
ilast Monday and had their gas tank
filled, oil put in and plenty of water
added. Then they are said to have
thrown the clutch in, and drove
away without the formality of pay
ing the owner for said gas, oil, etc.
A tetephone call was put in, and
and Deputy _ Sheriff Tom Wood and
Jimnyp Deiv^r went on the hunt for
the'iiren. They picked up the trail,
, ran the men through town, out by the
i Country Club, over by Editor Gene
'Duck's country home, back to Selica,
(up the highway to Till McCaH's
' store at l^ke Toxaway. There a tire
' went kerfluey on the Chevrolet, and
the two men hit the gravel and took
to the woods. The officers finally
captured the men and brought them
back to Brevard, registering: them at
the county jail.
The South Carolina tag on the car
is given as Bl-399.
H. H. PATTON RE-ELECTED AS
