.VERNER PRESENTS SOLUTION FOR THE WELFARE PROBLEM Less Inspiration and More In' formation Is Now Needed In This County CENTRAL HEADQUARTERS FOR ALL CHARITY WORK Women's Bureau Well Pleased with Splendid Advice and Counsel One of the most constructive meetings of the Woman's Bureau said to have been held in some time was that of Monday afternoon, the main feature of which was a talk by Superintendent S. P. Verner out lining a suggested program of oper ation for public welfare work in Transylvania county. Referring to the subject at hand, Mr. -Verner emphatically declared that wha.t was needed more than anything e'jse in Transylvania coun ty was, ''Leas inspiration and more information and prespiration ? quit talking so much and get down to business. Adding further emphasis to this assertion, Mr. Verner men tioned five different methods by which public welfare is promoted in the community, pointed out the dis advantages of this plan of operation and suggested plausible solutions for a more successful carrying on of thi9 important work in the county. Under the present method of op eration in this county, as pointed out by the speaker, there are now five different channels through which public welfare is promoted, includ ing, a Board of Public Welfare, the | Associated Charities, the Red Cross, the churches, and by individuals. Mr. Verner spoke of the difficulties in the way of these methods proving altogether workable, since all five of the organizations may be working on the same case at the same time, re sulting in a lack of co-ordination (Continued on page five) MRS.

MAYOR - ELECT OF I FLORIDA CITY HERE Pearces Called to Bedside of Sick Brother ? Dr. Pearce Is Critically 111 Messrs J. D. Pearce and B. M. Pearce, brothers, and W. L. Tilling hast, a cousin, are in Brevard at ?he bedside of Dr. R. S. Pearce, who )s critically ill. The distinguished ;vi3itors are from St. Petersburg, Fla., where J. D. Pearce was, on last Tuesday, elected mayor of the Florida city. It will be recalled that Dr. Pearce. so well and favorably known in Brevard, was mayor of St. Petersburg during two full terms, and this is said tp be the first time in the history of the Florida city that two brothers have been elected to the office of chief magistrate of the city. The Pearces are native North Car olinians, having been born and rear ed in Fayfctteville, this state, moving to Florida 25 years ago. Dr. Pearce and his interesting family have been coming to Brevard every sum mer for a number of years. Some time ago they disposed of their holdings in Florida and became permanent citizens of Brevard. Dr. Pearce has been quite ill for many months, and his family and friends have but little hope of his recovery. It was the serious illness of Dr. Pearce that called the brothers away from St. Petersburg so soon after the successful election in which Hon. J. D. Pearce was chosen as mayor.

BAPTISf REVIVAL DRAWING CROWDS Services Held Twice Daily and Great Interest Is Being Manifest Large crowds are attending the revival services at the Brevard Bap tist church, which started last Sun day morning and will continue for two weeks. Beginning Wednesday, and continuing until further notice, two services will be held daily, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and at 8 o'clock in the evening. With Alvin Moore at the piano, and Dr. Jordan as song leader, and the senior and junior choirs alternating in the singing, the music is no little part of the series of meetings. The pastor, Rev. Paul Hartsell, is doing the preaching. Powerful, elo quent and appealing sermons are being delivered at each service. The pastor manifests by his deep earnest ness that the revival is not being help simply because it is the regular time of holding such meetings, but rather on account of a burning de sire on the part of the church and the town for a real revival in re ligious spirit and work. Many members of other churches of the town and county are notice able at each of the meetings, show ing the general community interest being taken in the revival. Several pastors of other churches in the county, and of churches of other denominations, are in the congrega tion at each meeting, and join in the services in song and prayer. It is being predicted that a great revival will be experienced during the two weeks. All people are given cordial invitation to attend all the meetings. It is believed that the other churches in the town will not hold evening services next Sunday, so the members of these churches ji can attend the evening service at ' the Baptist church.

Farmers Are Setting Out Tobacco Plants Rapidly Tobacco growers in Transylvania :ounty and other Western North Carolina counties have bright prom ise of good prices for whatever to bacco they grow, according to re ports from Burley belts in other' states. It is reported that the crop is cut in half, or even smaller, in sther sections because of drought and the attending failure of the j plants to grow. This means that | whatever is grown will bring a ' nuch higher price. Trouble has been experienced with ' ;he plants in Transylvania county, j according to reports from Julian Glazener and others, there being a tremendous shortage. It will be re jailed that the Brevard Banking ; company made proposition to pro- j vide plants, free, to fifty farmers j who would plant an acre each. The j bank has made arrangements to pur- i :hase plants in an adjoining county j to make up whatever shortage may U. D. C .LIBRARY TO BE OPEN ALL DAY Beginning next Monday, the U. D. C. Library will be open daily frdm 9 to 12 o'clock in the morning, and from 2 to 5 o'clock in the after noon. Report was made Tuesday that Miss Annie Jean Gash had pre sented twelve volumes to the li barary, a gift that was highly ap preciated by the officials. This gift led the officers to make sug gestion to other citizens to look through their libraries and see if there are not some books that they' could give to the library. e MYSTERIOUS WOMAN COMING TO BREVARD AT AN EARLY DATE AND WILL PRESENT VALUABLE PRIZE be experienced here. Mr. Shipmari has stated to The Brevard News that whatever plants are needed to -carry out the bank's promise to the fifty farmers will be purchased. Already much tobacco has been J planted. W. L. Wood and T. G. I Miller, and many others, have al- 1 ready set out their acres, and the | plants are doing nicely since having i been transplanted. Announcement has been made that ] the warehouse at Asheville wili be ' completed and a large buying force on hand for the first of the crop that is to be offered for sale this fall. The establishment of a warehouse at Asheville will mean much to the to bacco growers of Western Carolina, as the farmers will not have so far to take their weed to market. It is believed that tobacco grow ing is just now coming into its own in Transylvania county, and that next year will witness a crop of tre mendous size in this county.
