CASCADE POWER CO. f>ETi PLANT AND THE DAM (Continued from page one) ;emi-public institutions. For a great many years the power company has given, free of charge, the current that lighted the whiteway lamps on i he streets of Brevard. They mad* no charge for current used in the Chamber of Commerce building, the If. D. C. Library, the band stand, and i. .any other places of public nature J have been the recipients of light and power as compliments of the com- j pany. Several people who are iden tified with charity work in the town have known for a long time that sev er:.! extremely poor families in Bre v- 1 have used the light current reg ; although the company never ? ? ; a ; much as mailed statements to these people. The churches have long enjoyed a minimum flat rate for current. The Southern Public Utilities com- j with all the big Duke interests: behind it, has the reputation of lo- 1 citting many industrial establish-; ments in whatever section the com- ! ? :-.ny operates its power lines. With 1 the big connections of the con ci i n, citizens in Brevard are led to I believe that the coming of the Duke ; s iterests into Brevard is simply a forerunner of an industrial expansion J h'-'.o that will mean much to this county. This belief is based not on any statement that may have been issued by any company official, but merely on the record of the company : in other towns and sections, and the j ability of the big company to influ- ; t r.ee industry to locate in sections ; where the company can furnish the power for operation. Lines have already been strung ' from Hendersonville by the Southern; Public Utilities company into Brevard iho sub-station completed, and the "juice" turned on. The lines carry ?14.000 voltage, and this, added to the o::tput of tiie Cascade Power Com pany which the new concern will dis tribute. gives to Bnevard an abund ance of power for as many industries : :? could be eretfte<l in many a month. Newspaper? in the Piedmont sec tion of the Carolinas often publish special articles and editorials, giving in detail the growth of towns and communities when the Duke interests entered such places. It is an acknow ledged fact that the Duke companies are almost totally responsible for the rapid expansion of industry in Pied >n' Carolinas, and the coming here that big concern is verv naturally | c.\pcuwiv? v* ion? Carolinas, and the coming here <>f that big concern is very naturally haled with delight by the citizens of Transylvania county. Offices are being opened in the Waltermire Hotel building, two big rooms having been taken. One fronts cn Broad street, next door to the > oti l entrance, while the other fronts n Main street, next door to the Pis ?rah Bank. Partitions have .been toxn : w;.v. making the two rooms into one continuous building. The Southern Public Utilities company makes con , drive for the placement of elec ?ric appliances for the home. Every conceivable thing that is heated or ?.in by electricity is carried in stock by the company and these things are :<.M on convenient terms to users of their power. Electric ice refrigera i'.'i. electric ranges for cooking, carpet sweepers, irons, in fact, all tieetrie devices for the use and ?onvcnience of the home are sold by ?he company. One of the office buildings will be devoted to this ,nhase of the work, and a complete display will be kept on the floor at I'll times. J. M. Gaines, of Charlotte, will be in charge of the local offices. He will move his family here at once. Several other families will move to Brevard as a result of the deal, as experienced men who have long been with the company will be sent here to handle its affairs in the local field. Mr. 0. A. Meyer, of Hender sonville, has general supervision of the company's affairs in this sec tion. Lewis P. Hamlin, Brevard lawyer and minority leader in the house of i preventatives, and J. H. Pickel simer, handled the negotiations in ?he deal for the local interests. Mr. Hamlin is also an interested party in 'he big transaction, he being a stock holder in the local companies that sold to the Southern Public Utilities. No mention is made of the price paid for the valuable properties. BLANTYRE BREEZES Lewis Simpson and family were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. John Reed.

COUNTY CLUB TO BE I ORGANIZED ON THE 12TH IN BREVARD (Continued from page one) other sections can affect us, <t is ' natural to assume as a certainty that i ' anything of a constructive nature ' would affect the country as a whole. Using this argument as a basis, Prof, j' Jones showed in a concise manner, just what such an organization as "The Transylvania County Club," in it> nationar scope could arid would do for not only this county but for the ' state and nation. Prof. Jones was a charter member of the original Ruth erford County Club formed seven years ago, and gave verifiable facts of the benefits derived by that county in the past several years from the concerted efforts of the organization there. The Rutherford County club, Prof. Jones asserted, had been di rectly instrumental and responsible for the following movements and im provements in Rutherford county: United the county into one factor 1 for good and has eliminated much jealousy, etc., between towns; spon sored the county fair, older boy's conference, Farmers Federation warehouse and potato curing house with a capacity of 15,000 bushels, more purebred poultry and livestock on the farm ; defeated the proposal to increase telephone rates in Ruth erford county; sponsored several county-wide celebrations, that have 1 gained state-wide recognition; full time county welfare officer; home and county demonstrator and a full time county physician. Climaxing his statements, Prof. Jones declared "that if Rutherford county can have these things through the efforts and concentration of all the people in the county, how much better can the people of Transyl vania do with their incomparable dairying possibilities, the greatest of which is the natural grass-growing soil of this county, and the adapta bility of our county for diversifica tion in all lines of endeavor ? both agricultural and industrial. If Rutherford county can have, in i their level county great money-mak Jing industries, why cannot Transyl jvania coi%ty with its wonderful cli mate, purest of water and unlimited I water power have great smokestacks | belching forth smoke and furnish ing employment for many, and a ; market for our surplus produce." Dr. Bright explained that the local club would function absolutely as an individual organization, having its own constitution and by-laws and be ing its own "boss" entirely. That though the national organization would offer from time to time, sug gections for lines of endeavor, the i local organization would be a free j lance body operated by and for the people of the county. That no as | sessments could be made by the na tional body. However, Dr. Bright said, information of any nature per taining to the welfare of the club, Jof laws being enacted in Washing ton which would in any way effect | the farmers, or of proposed" meas ! ures, could be had for the asking from headquarters which maintains at all times in the national capitol a j branch office for this purpose. ! Dr. Bright further explained that j the meetings of the club would not be centralized at any one point in jthe county, but that from time to I time meetings would be held in the i various prec'ncts of the county so that a clearer first hand knowledge of the particular needs of the dif ferent sections of the countv could ; be had. | Other speakers heard were E. Carl | Allison, G. T. Lyday, Prof. S. P. Verner, W. S. Ash worth, Mrs. C. F. Baldwin, C. R. McNeely, J. F. Bar rett and others, declaring they were heartily in favor of an organization that would function by and be com prised of farmers of the county, and I through which matters that vitally concern the agricultural interests of .the county could be brought to the attention of the farmers of the coun ty as a unit and through the concrete work of the body be taken care of in such a manner as to promote the farmers' interests. Committees were appointed by the chairman to invite the farmer's of the county to be present at the organization meeting at which time the principles of the club will be explained. Mr. Osborne stated that no undue demands would be made at the meeting for other than volun tary memberships, and that to at tend did not necessitate the taking of a membership in the organization.

HAMLIN, Trustee. 4tc chg RLNich Oc2-9-16,23 MILLION CHEVIES I MADE THIS YEAR Detroit, Oct. 3. ? The Chevrolet: Motor company announced here to- ' lay that more than 1,200,000 new1 six cylinder Chevrolet cars have been ! placed on the road since the first of ! the year. This achievement accomplished in ' little over nine months, is three j times the best showing of any other ! manufacturer of six cylinder cars in a calendar year and tops Chevrolet's record total for the entire year of 1928. It is no certain that six cylinder! production will set a world record j this year, surpassing for the fir>t ! time in the history of the industry ? the output of four cylinder car: This leadership of the sixes will com' about chiefly because of Chevro- 1 let's record showinp this year. Chevrolet factory officials declare that the dominating reason back < A ' the leadership of the six is the pub- ; lie preference for the advantage: ' which this type of construction af fords. They point out too that thi influence of great volume produc- 1 tion,, which has enabled the industry to get six cylinder prices down to the lowest on record and has made ii j possible for Chevrolet through max imum volume to offer six cylinder performance at a price that for- , merly bought only four. With a new yearly record already assured, Chevrolet factories are con- 1 tinuing on the biggest fall produc- 1 tion program ever undertaken bj the company. Nine assembly plants and seven large manufacturing plants ? are facing the busiest final quarter | that Chevrolet has ever known. j The heavy fall factory program was made necessary, it was explain ed, to bring production up to the level of the demand and make pos sible quicker deliveries to owners. CAKE AND PIE SALE TO BE HELD NEXT ON SATURDAY A sale of eatables, including cakes. I pies, and candy will be held in the King building jiext to Plummer's An nex. next Saturday, beginning at 10 o'clock and continuing through the day.

THE MUSICIAN She was not a concert singer I Drawing hundreds every week. : Theatre magnates did not linger ' 'Round her and beg her to speak i Right up and name the price 'twould take I To get her for their show; No, she lived out in the country And each Sunday morn she'd go ; T o the little country church j Where she'd occupy the stool At the little wheezy organ, At preaching and at Sunday School. And she'd also lead the singing, If the leader wasn't there; And her voice with gladness ringing With melody, would fill the air. In the big fine city churches They can hire their singers grand, And if they take a notion | They can have a whole brass band ; But when it comes to music That really is worthwhile, Some of our country churches Have got them beat a mile. Zeb H. Wolfe, "The Plumber Poet," Easley, S. C. ((The idea for the bit of verse above came to the writer while at tending church at Mount Pleasant, a Presbyterian church just out of ?Easley. S. C., on Sunday morning, April 14, 1929.) ORGANIZATION OF COUNTY TEACHERS (MRS. T. E. RE1D, Sec'y) The teachers of Transylvania county met at the Brevard High School building Saturday, Sept. 28, for the purpose of organizing the local unit of the North Carolina Ed ucation Association. Prof. J. B. Jones presided over the meeting. Ho appointed a nomin ating ommittee, who in turn, nom inated the following officers. Prof. J. B. Jones of Brevard schools, re elected president; Prof. G. C. Bush of Rosman High School, vice presi dent; Mrs. Theodore E. Reid, of Seiica school, secretary, These of ficers were unanimously elected. Great interest was mcnif the work of the organization by tr. enrollment of 64 teachers, tnd ot! ers stated that they would enrol! a an early date. An enjoyable feature of ihe nr. gram was the talk given by S'.'.pt Verner. in which he expressed hiiv self as believing that teachers should not be forced to .take part in the professional meetings, but should do so because of interest in their work. Plans for the class in extension work which Prof. Morris of the Uni versity of North Carolina expects to give here were discussed and a number of teachers registered for the course. The association is very grateful to Prof. Jones for the excellent services rendered by him as president during the past year and is looking for ward to another successful year under his leadership.
