NO TRAPPING FOR ; TWO YEARS HERE; I No fur bearing animals will bo : trapped in Transylvania county for the next two years, the season hav ing been closed on October 15 by the North Carolina Department of Con servation and Development, and will not again be opened until Oct. 15, 1932, according to an announcement received at this office from the de partment. Fur bearing animals as applied to Transylvania and surrounding coun ties in the order will effect for the most part opossum, coon, muskrat and fox, these being the chief ani- i mals trapped here. Wildcats will not be allowed taken during this closed season. While the season on wild- : cat has never been closed before at any time- of the year, officials are of the belief that all traps set by would-be offenders would be "for wildcats," hence the closing against 1 any and all fur bearing animals.

COUCH Candidate for Sheriff-Tax Collector, Transylvania County. A clean man who will conduct the affairs of the office in the same fine manner that has marked his own personal career. LUTHER COU Was born in Little River Township on February 18, 1887, and attended the schools of that community. When but a little boy he was hired out, as a farm hand, to Mr. Henry Ball, at that time a successful farmer of the county. Mr. Couch made good as a farm worker, and while performing these hard tasks laid the found ation of his life, which has been builded upon charac ter, industry and integrity. Older citizens of the county remember seeing Luther Couch, when a boy, going to a place of employment carrying all of his earthly be longings in a flour sack. When the tannery was started at Rosman, Mr. Couch went to that job, working there for two years. Then he went to Pisgah Fores., firing the boilers in the tannery plant there when Mr. T. E. Patton, Jr., was boss of the job. In 1907 Mr. Couch entered the employ of the Southern Railway company, as brakeman. For two years he topped the freight cars in all kinds of weather in per formance of his duties. Two years later he was pro moted to the position of conductor, holding that job until 1924, when he came with the Lowe Motor com pany, in Brevard, leaving there to become connected with the Whitmire Motor Sales company, which posi tion he held until his election to the office of county treasurer in 1928. In all of these jobs, Luther Couch has made good, whether it was digging ditches, splitting rails, topping freight cars, or doing any of the rest of the hard and difficult tasks that fell to his lot to do. To each and every job he gave the very best there was in him, and in this devotion to his duty he has gradually come to the station in life where he is looked upon as one of the leading citizens of the county, a man whose word is his bond, and whose heart beats in tuneful accord with every person whose pathway in life is beset with diffi culties. LUTHER COUCH Has been treasurer of Transylvania County for almost two years, having taken his oath of office on the first Monday in December, 1928. The records of that of fice have been kept in most splendid manner, as at tested by every auditor who has examined these rec ords. He has carefully guarded every cent of the peo ples' money that has been turned over to him, keeping the records clear, concise and properly filed and safe guarded. Mr. Couch has watched most carefully the bank bal ances of the county funds, collecting regularly the in terest thereon, and placing this accrued interest to the credit of the people of Transylvania county. During the less than two years Mr. Couch has been in the of fice, he has collected the huge sum of $53,705.01 in terest on the county's deposits, which sum has been placed to the credit ef the people. Friends of Mr. Couch, who are sponsoring the publica tion of these facts, are proud of this record made by him. The large sum of money which he has saved for the tax payers on this interest collection is compared to the small sum of money that had been collected by county treasurers of the past. So far as the records show, the county had, in all the past years, collected le&s than $8,000 in interest on the county's deposits. Now that Mr. Couch has collected for the county more than fifty thousand dollars in less than two years is an indication of the great value that the services of a man who is consecrated to his public duty can be to a county. LUTHER COUCH As a candidate for the office of Sheriff-Tax Collector appeals to the people of the county. His success in life is based and builded upon a firm foundation. The great progress which he has made has been most richly deserved. His remarkable career, coming from the life and work of a farm hand to the position of trust, honor and respect which he now enjoys, is due entirely to the fact that he has been most worthy of every honor that has been bestowed upon him, and fully merited every advancement that he has re ceived. The office of Sheriff -Tax Collector is one of the most important places in the county's governmental system. The sheriff of a county must perform the duties of his office in a manner at once both fair to the county which he represents and to the individual with whom he is dealing. He must be true to his oath of office, __ yet at the same moment remember at all times that courtesy and consideration of a human being are the chief attributes of the success of a peace officer. He must be a man who is fair to all and will treat Ail alike, if the office which he fills is to receive and retain the respect of the community. Such a man is Luther Couch, who has proven his worth and proved to be most trustworthy. Friends of Luther Couch are proud to offer him to the people of the county as a candidate for the office of Sheriff-Tax Collector, confident in his ability to per form the duties of the office in a manner that will highly please the people and reflect honor upon an al ready honorable life. A vote for Luther Couch is aB vote for a fair and clean administration of that high office. A vote for Luther Couch is a vote of recogni tion of real merit and genuine worth, and his election will be an inspiration to the poor boys of the county, giving evidence of the great fact that it pays to live a life of industry, honesty and fair dealing. Vote for Luther Couch on November Fourth, and be one of the glad throng of citizens to give honors worthily bestow ed upon a most worthy man. Pd Political Advt.
