BREVARD VULUME XXXV \ BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA, NOVEMBER 13,1 930 Number 4$* VOTE INCREASES IN THE PRECINCTS All But Three Precinct* Show Increase* Over Vote Cast In 1928 Election . LARGEST INCREASE IS SHOWN IN BREVARD Rownan, Hogback 3 and Glou cester No. 1 Show Losses In the Period Because of the widespread interest in the county's increased total vote this year over that cast two years ago in the heated Smith-Hoover cam paign and election, comparative fig ures for the several precincts are given, showing where the increases in the total vote were made. For Comparison , the legislative vote is given for 1928 and then for 1930. L. P. Hamlin received 2080 votes two years ago to Zachary's 1924, ob taining a majority of 156. This year Hamlin received 2001 votes, while Henry received 2329', a majority of 328 over Hamlin. It will be seen that Hamlin lost but 79 votes, while Henry received 405 votes more than Zachary received for the same place two years ago. Deducting the 79 votes which Hamlin fell behind in this election from that of two years ago, it leaves a net gain of total votes of 326 more this year than two years ago, all of which went to the democratic candidate. TotaJ votes cast for Hamlin -and Zachary in 1928, and the total votes cast for Hamlin and Henry in this election, are given by precincts, showing the increases in the two year period: Boyd, 1928 286 Boyd, 1930 321 Boyd's gain, 35 Brevard, 1, 1928 568 Brevard, 1, 1930 651 No. l's gain, 83 Brevard. 2, 1928 737 Brevard. 2. 1930 784 No. 2's gain, 47 Brevard, 3, 1928 291 Brevard, 3, 1930 305 No. 3's gain, 14 Little River, 1928 237 Little River. 1930 239 Little River's gain, 2 Cedar Mountain, 1928 57 Cedar Mountain, 1930 72 Cedar Mountain's gain, 15 Dunn's Rock, 1928 218 Dunn's Rock, 1930 221 Dunn's Rock gain, 3 East Fork. 1928 86 East Fork, 1930 88 East Fork's gain, 2 Cathey's Creek,' 1928 263 Cathey's Creek, 1930 334 Cathey's Creek gain, 71 Rosman. 1928 251 Rosman, 1930 243 Rosman's loss, 8 Eastatoe, 1928 236 Eastatoe, 1930 265 Eastatoe's gain, 29 Hogback, 1, 1928 119 Hogback, 1, 1930 135 No. l's gain, 16 Hogback, 2, 1928 153 Hogback, 2, 1930 167 No. 2's gain, 14 Hogback, 3, 1928 114 Hogback, 3, 1930 Ill No. 3's loss, 3 Old Toxaway, 1928 . . 68 Old Toxaway, 1930 79 Old Toxaway 's gain, 11 Gloucester, 1, 1928 209 Gloucester, 1, 1930 194 No. l's loss, 15 Gloucester, 2, 1928- 109 Gloucester 2, 1930 121 No. 2's gain, 12 While there are light differences iaj the votes given the various candi dates, these figures on the legislative race show just how the increased (Continued on back page) Annual roll call OF THE RED CROSS Now Being Made Throughout Nation- ? Millions To Join Great Organization REV. H. PERRY HEADS LOCAL ROLL CALL DRIVE Zeb Wolfe Tells Story of Its I Wonderful Work In Poetic Style Annual Roll Call of the Red Cross is now being made throughout the country, and will be observed here, under the chairmanship o f Rev. H. Perry. Mr. Perry is out of town this week, and upon his return it is said that actual work will start on the roll call here. Response to the Red Cross is said to be so readily made ] in Brevard and Transylvania county ' that those charged with carrying on the work require but a short time in which to en roll the citizens here in the great work. It is said that booths will be placed at con venient places in town and county, ? and the citizens snrolled as they go about their us lal work find business. The work of the Red Cross is so veil known to every one now that ?ecital of its greatness is not at all lecessary. Wherever there is human lufferinfc as a result of storm, acci lent or epidemic, there is the great ied Cross on the scene immediately, ?endering aid and comfort to the itricken people. It is expected that his county s membership will be arger this year than ever before. Zeb Wolfe, "The Plumber Poet," if Easley, S. C., sent the following iriginal poem to The Brevard News 'or publication in connection with he annual Red Cross Roll Call: THE AMERICAN RED CROSS What does it do?" many would ask, io I'll mention a few of its many tasks; t is always there to lend' a hand Vhen flood or fire takes toll in the land. Lnd the ~poor who are sick with fever or flu ire cared for by it, nursed and fed too. ..ots of other things we could tell ?hat it does for the folks who are sick or well. ? ts nurses in France were up near the lines; n that drear, muddy land where the sun seldom shines! fes, they were right there, and took a chance Uonje: with Our Boys when they would advance. ^nd now that the Roll Call is on once more jet's help them out, as they helped j c us of yore. 1 ts workers are heroes, who have never been shirkers, 3o let's gallantly stand by the Red Cross Workers. RECREATION CENTER. Messrs. Harris and Trantham, of ;he H. & T. Recreation Center, have mnounced that the price for bowling las been reduced to ten cents the jame for the winter months, and will keep the place open if patronage justifies it The place is always irowded during the summer months, and the alleys are pronounced to be among the best in the state. Consid eration, of closing the recreation place during the winter met with ob jection by many pople who take their exercise on the bowling alley. Then it was suggested to cut the price to ten cents a game for the winter, and it is believed the res ponse will make it possible to keep the place open. To Be Named Chairman? * ? O. L. ERWltf Who is being prominently mentioned as the next Chairman of the* Board of County Commisisoners. Mr. Erwin was elected as a board mem- ' ber in last week's contest, and many 'friends have suggested that he i will be named as Chairman when the board ogranizes on the first Mon- 1 day in December, at which time new county officials will take charge. ' REV J. H. WEST IS TO REMAIN HERE Rev. J. H. West, for the past year lastor of the Brevard Methodist hurch, was returned to this charge iy conference appointment in the Jreensboro sessions last Monday aft ernoon. The congregation had sent trong resolutions to the conference, isking that the Rev. Mr. West be re urned to this work, it being asserted hat his work here had been unusu illy successful. Rev. Mr. West is me of the best loved and most popu ar men ever serving the Brevard Hethodist church, and numbers his 'riends here by the hundreds. Citi ;ens of all other denominations were ixtremely anxious that Rev. Mr. iVest be returned to Brevard, as he lot only serves his pwn church in iplendid manner, bujudoes all that le can for the success of all other ihurches in the community. Much regret is expressed that the Rev. Mr. Rufty is to leave Rosman, where he has hosts of friends. He joes to the Emma-Elk Mountain :harge near Asheville, and the Rev. f. M. Green comes to the Rosman :harge. Rev. Mr. Rufty and his iplendid family have made many Erier.ds during their stay in, the :ounty, and it is with regret that the conference change takes 'Mr. Rufty and his family away from the community. Rev. J. H. West has an unusual record in the Western North Caro lina conference, having served many terms as presiding elder, and having held some of the large charges in the conference jurisdiction. He is the father of ReV. Walter West, returned to Hendersonville, and once during the work of these men, father and son, Rev. J. H. We9t was presiding elder of the Waynesville district while hos son was pastor of the Waynesville church, both living in that city at the same time. MRS. M.B. WATERS IS LAB) TO REST HERE i - Mrs. M.

Funeral services were held Mon day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Brevard Methodist church. Due to] the absence of the Methodist pastor, the services were conducted by Rev. > Paul Hartsell, pastor of the Brevard Baptist church. Mrs. Waters was a j faithful and laboring member of the J Methodist church, and was highly es teemed by the whole community, as shown by* the great host paying their last respects, and the great and beau tiful profusion of floral offerings. In terment was a1> Oak Grove cemetery. |j The aged Brevard woman was a '1 native of Georgia, but had made her:! home in this community for many < years. She was before her marriage, < Mattie Holden, and was the widow . of M. B. Waters, prominent Bre vard business man who preceded her ; into the Great Beyond many years ago.

S. Nicholson. Kilpatrick Funeral Directors had charge of the arrangements. ENGINEER SPEAKS HIGHLY OF PLACE Declares Cathey's Creek To Be Most Perfect Manufac turing Site COMPANY OFFICIALS HAD VISITED THIS SECTION New Departments Expected, to Be Announced at Some j Date In Future "The most perfect site I have ever seen for an industrial plant, like ours," was the emphatic approval given the Cathey's Creek location by an engineer representing one of the really big concerns of up-state New York, when that engineer had in spected the section one day recently. | The engineer, accompanied by a Brevard man, went over the entire section, going far back up the creek, examining its source of crystal clear water, viewing the place where a, dam of easy simple construction ;would be erectcd, creating a basin , for holding and controlling the j water, and giving emphasis to the ' advantages of the future, because j the government owns the lands con- 1 stituting the watershed. That trip of land gently sloping j from the foot of the mountain to the i railroad and highway, extending a mile from Cathey's Creek to the j southern edge, would be the ideal site for the factory, this engineer said. Railway and highway facili ties are already at the door of the factory that could be built there, while the county home hill could be roade to fit perfectly into the picture For the office buildings. All about the Dlace are broad acres of ridgeland, ;asily developed into residential sec ;ions for the people who would-work 1 n the industry. Taken all in all, with the additional advantages offer id from climatic conditions here, and : ;hat still greater asset of labor, 1 vhich would be performed by the.] native citizens of this and adjoining :ounties, all go to constitute a situa> i ! ;ion which led the engineer to make j ;he unqualified statement quoted in,1 ;he opening words of this article. This is not the first engineer that j! be concent. has had on this property, !' is others from the satire company j lave been here before. In fact, of-1 icers of the company have inspected ' .his site, and the recent inspection by 1 mother engineer gives hope that ] lomething of great importance is i soon to develop in this section. DR. SEVIER PLEADS ! FOR WORLD PEACE! Declaring that the World War was Fought to end wars, and that every life given in that great conflict, every struggle made, every ? pain endured, every heartache suffered, demanded of the world a condition that will make war impossible in the future, was the tenor of an Armistice Day program obserted at the Brevard Methodist church last Sunday. The program was given in concernt with similar programs in all Methodist churches throughout the nation, combining in giving emphasis to peace and condemnation to war. Prof. L. B. Haynes was in charge of the Brevard program, while Rev. Dr. Joseph Sevier, president of Fassifern College, delivered the principal ad dress. Pledges, music, meiporiato and the address all combined in the effort to promote peace. Dr. Sevier, descendant of the Se viers who took prominent part in the battle of Kings Mountain, delivered a masterful address, counting the cost of the recent war, and pleading with the citizens to stand by what ever plan that would best guarantee peace between nations in the future. CLEAR UP OFFICES" -M FOR NEW HOLDERS * Court House Scene of Mock Activity u Things Are > Made Ready AUDITOR TO REPORT BY THE FIRST MONDAY Street. Gossip as to Probable Selections for Appoint ive Places Employment of an auditor to aarfit the county's books- and accounts, cleaning up desks and putting in ship-shape, keep tjie county of ficials busy in making ready for the outgoing of the old officers on the first Monday in December, and the induction into office of tlje neniy elected county officials. Northup, ti? , auditor, is to audit all the couSty*B books, and it is said all tbis waefc will be completed By 'the tirte utttr day for the new officers to charge of the county's affaire. - Ofle form' of street corner polities , now engaging the attention of the people of both parties in conjecteee as to the names of those who will be calLed to fill the appointive offices. Some predict, that 0. L. Erwin or Mr. Sigman will be appointed by the commissioners to the post of county auditor and purchasing agent, , while others say that Grady C. Kil patrick will ..get this appointment Ale* Kizer, formerly county auditor, has his friends who make prediction that he will be appointed. . For the place of health officer, there seems to be about an even di vision between those who say that Dr. Lynch will be named, 'and those who declare that Dr. Newland be appointed. Both are active in party affairs, and both have large circles of friends who, doubtless, wBI stand by their favorites for the' place. Prediction is made by many that there will- be no change, made in the sheriff's office, either as to the dep uty or the jailer, while some reports have it that Fred Johnson is to suc ceed Mr, Wood as office deputy. C. Y. Patton's name is also being men tioned in connection with the dep uty's place. But all of this is of the street rumor variety, none of it com ing from heads of the various depart ments of the county government. One of the most interesting devri Dpments is expected in the school board work, a matter which will not v be decided until the legislature meets in January, and no action is likely until next June, the beginning of Jhe new fiscal year. Some democrats have expressed the opinion that the present superintendent of public in struction will not be retained, while others are emphatic in asserting that no change will be made in th? super intendency. This appointment, it is believed, will be watched with more intense interest than that of any other appointive office. Judge Robert Lenoir Gash is be ing suffested by friends as the next county attorney, while others express the belief that Senator T. Colema? Galloway will be named. Friends of Pat Kimzey and of Ralph H. Ramsey are firm in the belief that one of these younger lawyers will be named to the post of county attorney. Mr. Galloway is now attorney for the town of Brevard and the board ?f road commissioners. REV. PAUL HARTSELL GOES TO BAPTIST CONVENT!?* Rev. Paul Hartselr, pastor of the Brevard Baptist church, and He*. Hartsell are attending the Baptitt State convention in Raleigb Una week. The Hartsells will also visit rela tives in the eastern part of the state. Rev. Mr. Hartsell expects to be be aft in Brevard in time to fill his pelffc for the services Sunday at the Blip* tist church.
