has litat population increased dar
ing the past ten years T you will ask
yourself. Well, let's see a little
further. In 1920 there were 8200
, vote* cast, while the population was
#503. In 1928, two years ago, there
were -983 votes cast in Die elec
tion. See what the ratio of the 1920
rote was to the 1920 population,
and figure on what the population
was two years ago as compared with
the vote cast in the last election.
Then figure on what changes you
think have been made in the last
two y i n i s, and your figures will come
pretty close to being the figures t$?t
the government will find to be tlw
population of the county.
Talk with your friends, figure it

will be better for you to have a

of a beautiful hen. As the truck
slides gracefully through town it has
all .the appearance of a beautiful
hen. all dressed up in finest feathers,
with rare combination of colors so
dear to honhood and so attractive to
roosterhood.
Wei1, Mr. Bromfield's rooster, his
champion rooster, saw this hen glid
ing about over the streets. Without
as' much as by-your-leave to the hens
about the Bromfield home, this
rooster started walking along with
this new kind of i. hen. The last

TO BE GROWN HERE
(J. A. Glaiener, Ajfri. Instructor)
The ??threat in Lespedeza is grow
ing in leaps and bounds. It looks
now as if there will be from fifty to
one hundred acres devoted to this
crop this year. Following are the
ones that have already spoken for
seed and the acreage they expect to
sow:

I fully believe that the growing of
this wonderful legume in our county
will make one of the mots progres
sive steps we have taken. It will
furnish a bountiful supply of high
grade hay for the needed stock this
county must have; it will furnish
grazing during the summer and early
ffill which would mean much in a
livestock program; the demand for
seed is far beyond the supply, hi nee
making the seed a cash crop while
the tailings furnish feed of a fine
quality and last and doubtless great
est of all it is one of the finest soil
builders to be had. After ali is said
and done, you cannot get around the
fact that a rich soil is the basic fac
tor of a progressive agricultural de
velopment. It means wealthy and
contented farmers. This we r.eed.

CONDITIONS HERE
Nearly Ail Merchants Report j
Unusually Good Business
Durin* Last Week
That business conditions ic this j
town are improving is bcrtse out by l
statements from the various mer- <
:hants and business houses of Bre
vard, practically all of whom state I
that last Saturday's business was
larger by far than any Saturday's 1
trading within the past several 1
months. Some stores report a larger t
volume of business last Saturday J
than was registered on the Saturday '
before Christmas, which is always '
considered a great business day.
Oi particular interest among the
bat-new firms reporting xood bu-i
ness was the statement made i>> j
Fred Johnson, who says his business
last Saturday was about double that
Df any other Saturday since he be- ?
can business here. Johnson's Grocery
Store is adding many new custom
er 3, as are neveral. other business
houses of the town, it is reported.
Mr. Johnson is offering, in his ad
vertisement this week, to pay a
year's subscription to The Brevard
News to the person who gives him
the largest order for groceries on
this coming Saturday. He says he
hopes that the pereou getting this
subscription will then win the new
Chevrolet automobile which The ;
Brevard News is giving to some one j
of Its subscribers.
Bank deposits last Saturday and
Monday were unusuaily heavy, and
taken all in all, it would seem that
old Brevard has struck a new pace, 1
nr.ri business conditions are now
really improving./
MORE MEXICAN OUAIL
DISTRIBUTED IN COUNTY
E. R. Galloway, game warden for !
Transylvania county, has distributed ;
to the citizens of the county 25
pairs of Mexican quail. It will be .
recalled that several pairs were
turned loose on various farms in the j
county last year, and repoits are to
the effect, that these have increased
in splendid manner, and that the
Mexican bivd does well here in Tran
sylvania county.
Mr. Galloway expresses the hop*;
that the county will soon be well
stocked with the Mexican quail, and |
bespeaks the interest of all the
people in protecting these birds un
til the ''woods arc full" of them. ,
FOR THE LEGISLATURE
I hereby announce myself a candi- ,
date for the Legislature, subject to
the action of f-ie Democratic primary
in June. I shall appreciate the sup
port of my friends and all citizens
who believe that I would do my best
for the county as p. representative in
the General Assembly.

Insr almost positive assuraace that a
