H. A. Plummer Announces Candidacy
For Nomination County Commissioner
Announcement is made in this is
sue of The Brevard News that
Henry A. Plummer is a ?mdidate
for nomination on the democratic
ticket as a member of the Board of
County Commissioners. This an

great interest because of the fact
that Mr. Plummer is recognized as
one of the leading business men of
Brevard, being head of The Plum
mer Company, department store in
Brevard.
Mr. Plummer has long been act
ive in public affairs, although this is
his first entrance as a candidate in
to th? political or official life of the
I community. He was president of
! the Brevard Chamber of Commerce
I in 1928, and performed yeomanry
jservice for the town during his term
i of office.
So far as could be learned, Mr.
jPlummer is the only democrat to
'make announcement for nomination
on this ticket for commissioner.
Th?re was a meeting of democratic
leaders held Tuesday evening, but
nothing was given out for publica
tion. Several names have been
suggested for the board, but no
public anouncement has been made

SHERR1LL SHARPE WRITES
FROM STATE SANATORIUM

ing treatment. He has been ill
since last August, and left last
week for the treatment. A card
from him says he arrived safely,
and finds all the people there ex
tremely courteous and kind. He is
somewhat homesick, however, for
his beloved mountains and the
mountain people, and a few letters

be mbst welcome to him, and would
cheer him up. His address is San

Bean Beetle Started on Its Wasteful
Work in County; Suggested Remedy
Reports come in that the Mexican
Bean Beetle ia making ravages upon
the beans of the county, and warn
ing has been issued from Raleigh
that the pest is being noticed
throughout the state. C. H. Bran
non, of the extension department of
State College, says the beetle may
be controlled by use of magnesium
arsenate, using Ave level teaspoon
ful of this poison to three gallons
of water, apply at the rate of 100
gallons to the acre. This must be
applied t6 the' underside of the leaf,
because that is where the beetle
works.
The B. & B. Feed and Seed com
pany announces that a complete {
stock of this arsenate is kept on
hand, and, in addition, they have
other prepartaions, which, they I
claim, has been used most success
fully. When asked about the
beetle, Mr. Brittain said the pest is
rapidly spreading, and that one or
more people are in the store every
day, asking about what to do. The
B. & B. will be glad to talk the
matter over with any one interested,
and their advice has proven of great
value to many peopfe already in
control of this pest. Quick action
is necessary if beans are to be
saved.

ENKA WILL PLAY
HERE SATURDAY
Enka and Brevard will tangle on
McLean Field Saturday afternoon
at 4 o'clock. Brevard was defeated
at Enka last Saturday by the score
of 6-5.
Payne will be on the mound for
Brevard, while Robinson, crack left
harder for the rayon workers, will
in all probability pitch for Enka.
In the game last Saturday, Bre
vard played in "bad luck" through
out the nine inningB, due in part to
the sandy outfield and the soft in
field of *.he new diamond. This will
be a hindrance on McLean Field,
