SIMMONS - BAILEY t FIGHT HOLDS THE CENTER OF STAGE DUtrict and County Contest* Add Interest to the Main Bout RULES GOVERNING THE VOTERS IN THE PRIMARY Line-Up Given ? Second Con tort May Be Necessary In Some Cases Polls wiil open for voting in the primary next Saturday morning at sunrise, and remain open until sun set. No changes have been made in any of the voting places, according to Chairman G. C. Kiipatrick, since the last etection. There 'will be niile boxes at each voting place, be ing a complete set of boxes for each political party, for state, district, county and township tickets. No independent can vote in this primary ? just republicans and demo crats. No splitticket will be allowed, that is, no one voter will be allowed to vote in the primary for some men on one ticket and other men on the other ticket. The democratic tickets are printed on white paper and the republican tickets are printed on blue paper. No markers are allowed in the pri mary, but any voter can ask any rel ative or friend to assist him or her in marking the ballot, Provided that a majority of the election official* agree that ?uch (elected man may a? ?i?t the voter. In other words, it is said, the election officials ? the reg istrar and the judges ? are absolute authority in all matters. If one man asks some one to assist him in marking a ballot, this man must be approved by at least two members of the three election officials. It is expected that a large vote will be polled by the democrats in the primary because of the keen in terest in the Bailey-Simmons fight j and the close contests for nomina tion to county offices. Simmom-Bailey Battle Greatest interest in the primary is that centering about the contest be tween F. M. Simmons, now in the United States senate, and J. W. Bailey, who is trying to dislodge Simmons and take the toga away from the aged veteran of many po litical warfares. Throughout the state this battle rages, and much bitterness is being engendered dur ing the closing days of the cam paign. This battle against Simmons is based on his alleged desertion of the party in the national campaign o7 1928, when Mr. Simmons refused to suppoit Alfred E. Smith for presi dent. Bailey supporters say that a (Continued on page two) SUMMFSCHOOL'S BIG ENROLLMENT Brevard Institute Summer School session began with an enrollment of 69 students, a number that is highly pleasing to the management of that popular institution. Because of the widespreal advertising that has been given the Brevard Institute during the past year as a result of the out standing work done there, it is be lieved that the 1931 session of the Summer School will literally pack the buildings. The whole course of the Summer School, including rooms, board and ] tuition, costs only $50, and that is j less than it would cost a tourist for: two or three weeks' vacation in the! mountains. With the advertising being done in the South, it is be lieved hundreds of people will take^ advantage of the offerings of the In- J stitute next season, and attend the summer classes. U. D. C.

The budget estimate waB submitted by the school board to the board of county com missioners Monday, and the two boarls will meet on the Third Mon day in this month for further action on the matter. Among the items in the budget estimate which go toward building: up the big increase asked for this year over the appropriations actu ally made for last year's work, are the following: General control, (superintendent's office and school board expense), asks an increase of over $1,600 this | year as compared with the year just ? closed. The appropriation made last , year for this work was $4,625.00; I this year the board asks for this item the sum of $6,250.00. An- j other $2,000 increase is noted in the item under the heading of instruc-| tional service, that is, the teach ing force. Last year an apropriation i of $84,102.32 was made for the regular six months' term and the ex tended term of two months. The t budget estimate for this year is set at $86,146.22. Another $2,000 in crease over last year is marked in the item of maintenance of plants, j This item last year had an appropri- , ation of $3,228, while the board is asking this year for $5,500. The biggest item of increase is that of auxiliary agencies, which item calls for an increase of $5,000 over last year. Reductions in items offset this total, as follows: Last year's fixed : charges were $5,730, while the i budget estimate this year calls for r only $4,120, a saving of $1600. Capital outlay last year was $10,- j 900, while this item in this year's . budget is reduced to $7,250. | Net increase as shown in the bud- : ;et estimate for this year is 1 $7,448.66, or almost one thousand dollars a month for the eight months MANY INQUIRIES BEING RECEIVED Opening hours for the Chamber of Commerce roopis on E.

B. AT SWEETBRIAR COLLEGE Miss Marion Sherrill Bromfield, popular daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James S. Bromfield, received her Bachelor of Arts degree at Sweet | briar College, Virginia, Tuesday of ithin week.

This budget estimate for the school year of 1930-31 will be acted 'upon at the special meeting to be held on the Third Monday. Should It be approved and adopted, it rep resents an amount equal to |16.44 for each man, woman and child in the county, based on the census bu reau's figures of the population of 9,691. Many other counties have reduced school expenses, notable among them being Buncombe county, which reduced its school budget for the coming year almost one hundred thousand dollars from the appropri ations made last year. It is pointed out that Gov. Gardner is calling up on the counties to reduce expenses, and the state has set precedent in the matter by demanding a 20 per cent reduction in the expenses of the Btate institutions. Whether or not the county com missioners will approve the school budget estimate as it now stands could not be learned, no member of the board being willing to make any statement on the matter, declaring that the budget will be given due consideration at the special joint meeting to be held on the Third Monday. Chairman Bromfield, of the county school board, when asked about the increased budget estimate for the coming school year's work, said ithat the budget is larger than the ap propriations made last year, be cause the county commissioners cut the budget last year to a much lower figure than was asked. "We simply must have the amount asked for in the budget," Chairman Brom field said, "if we are to operate the schools. We must buy three new buses and pay up bills that have ac cumulated from last year's opera- j - tions, for which we did not have suf- r ficient money, after the commission- (r ers cut our budget of last year." The budget estimate is in the of fice of County Accountant C. R McNeely, and is subject to inspec-jl tion by any interested citizen or tax)] payer. ELECTRIC RANGES IN BIG DEMAND HERE Manager Gaines, of the Southern Public Utilities company, expresses keen appreciation for the response made to the sale of electric ranges just closing by his concern.

Baldwin, at Blantyre. It is also reported that others are sold, and will be installed just as rapidly as possible. This is the sec ond special sale of electric ranges conducted since the Southern Public Utilities company came into this community, the first sale being put on especially for Brevard.

CORN DAMAGED BY TWO HEAVY FROSTS Jack Frost played havoc with :orn and garden crops last Friday uid Saturday nights, nipping acres ipon acres of corn in the bud. lay ing it low with the ground. The greatest damage was done in t.hc Cherryfield Valley, it is believed. Thr :rops of J. Frank Morgan, J. Frank WcCall, and others, were simply "mowed down" by the frost. Mr.1 McCall had about forty acres x>{ ad pretty corn as to be found in the , :ounty. It had reached a height that | completely covered the ground. '? Since the frost one cannot even see j the corn from the highway that runs ?? alongside the fields. It is believed that most of the j fruit is gone, apples being especially hard hit all over the county, except in spots that are particularly shel tered by surrounding hills. The cold snap and the frost nas also set back the toiiacco crop, but it wild over come the ravages of Old Man Jack, it is believed.

Some Causes 'Are (Urea i TWO COUNTIES SMALLER THAN TRANSYLVANIA Contest Was Valuable In That Much Study of Conditions Resulted Therefrom Transylvania county's population, announced by the census bureau as being official, is 9,591, compared with 9,303 in 1920, showing a gain of 288 in the 10-year period between census taking. According to this official an nouncement, Frank D.

That the small in :rease in the county's population is i big surprise to many citizens is in dicated by the numbers of citizens whose estimates ran around the 12,000 mark ? most of the estimates ranging from 11,000 to 13,000.

About fifty estimates were tbove the 13,000 mark, the highest ?f which was 36,000.
