PROVES FIRST INSPECTION
The Vein Said by State Offic
ials To Cross Transylvania
County to Toxaway
The Boylston Gold Mine, located on
the Henderson-Transylvania county
line on the Boylston road, is soon to
yield up her precious metal and, ac
cording to statements of engineers in
charge, greatly enrich this section of
the country. The property, consisting
of 642 acres of land, has been leased
by the owners for a period of 10
years to the Southern Exploration
company of Asheville and Johnson
City, headed by Allen H. Wood, of
Johnson City, an engineer of renown, j
Mr. Wood and associate' engineers'
have been investigating the proper- ;
ties and having the gold assayed, and ;
it was after this long inspection and .
thorough examination that the com-'
pany leased the property and began J
preparations for development of the
mine. Announcement is made by
company officials that just as sqon
as full inspection has been completed
as to the best method of mining this
particular deposit, machinery will be
selected and installed and the actual
work started, if further investigation
proves first reports to be true. Pres-j
ent plans call for installation of ma- 1
chinery that will mine and mill one
hundred tons daily.
This mine was first worked in 1886
and '87 under direction of the late
W. B. Allison, who took many thous
ands of dollars worth of gold from
the mine. Later Mr. Allison sold his
interest in the property to the late
Mr. M. C. Toms and the late W. A. '?
Smith, Mr. Harry Roberts and Mr.
Charles French Toms, Sr., Hender

Mrs Pat Kimzey, instructor of ;
Home Economics in the Brevard High

for growing school children. Mrs. I

standpoint of good health for the i
child and she speaks with confidence j
in view of lior experience in Home

considered as one of the bust Domestic
Science teachers in the state and her
skill in this work is not questioned.
Mothers of small children who have
to prepare lunches for' them each
day will appreciate her skilled ad vie?
and if ?Mrs*'. Kimzzey's suggestion*
are complied with, the results will

is expected.
The Parent-Teacher Association is
sponsoring a program which provides
all the undernourished children of the
B evard Grammar and Primary

OF DISTANT PASTl
i
The American Sales company, in a ;
page announcement in today's Bre-i
vard News, makes announcement of ;
plans for reorganisation as a result:
of the decision of Mr. N. Morris to.
leave Brevard and enter' business in j
a Kentucky city. The announcement
states that' a sale, beginning Friday |
morning, is being conducted for the j
purpose of reducing stock prior to >
the reorganzation. "Profit is a thing j
| of the past," is one of the compelling,
statements in the announcement, and i
judging from the prices placed on,
offerings in the announcement, many ,
people will readily believe this state- |
ment that there are no profits to be
made on merchandise going at the
prices placed on goods in this sale.
NOBBY SHOP STARTS
' AN UNUSUAL EVENT,
1 The Nobby Shop, for many years,
i operating in the Postoffice Building,
1 is now located in a new home, in the
' McCrary Building, on Main street ad
joining Smith's Barber Shop. An
announcement in today's Brevard
News, in frank manner states that
the sum of one thousand dollars is
urgently needed by the Nobby Shop,
and the plan proposed in raising tins
sum is a sale. That is nothing un
usual in itself, but when one reads
the announcement and finds that the
sale is that of new spring goods
i here on first showing, then the un
usual enters into the business an

j of President Hoover's twelve-spoke
'program for the rehabilitation of the

Reduced to simple terms, the act
is designed primarily to bolster the
fast faltering banking structure by
aiding both solvent and insolvent (
banks; to prevent a collapse of the
rail transportation systems of the ]
country which find themselves unable :
to carry on necessary refinancing be- ;
cause of unfavorable security market
conditions, and to aid Intermediate '
Credit Banks, Agricultural Credit ;
Corporations, building and loan asso-i^

With the failure last year of 2,290 :
banks with deposits of $1,759,000,000 r
it is apparent that swift and effective j
action must be taken if relief is to ; :
be afforded in time to pi-event a most j
serious and far reaching development, j,
The outstanding difficulty confront
ing the country springs from the loss
of confidence and the general state of
fear that has been created by these
widespread bank failures.

PIG CLUB FORMED
BY YOUNG FARMERS
!
The Brevard Future Farmers of !
America Revolving Pig Club, is the '
name of a new organization which
.vas formed under the supervision ol' .
Prof. J. A. Glazener, instructor of
Vocational Agriculture in Brevard j
High school by the Agriculture boys ,
it a recent meeting of the Y. T. H. |
P. club. ~
As explained by Prof. Glazener,
the purpose of the pig club may be
interpreted as follows: n
Twenty-five or more business men
Did firms of Brevard buy one pu re
ared pig each. They turn the pig over
to an agriculture boy of the Brevard
High jvhool, and the boy signs an ?
agreement to feed the pig a balanced
ration, house it properly, provide ii
with proper lot and insure it.
From the first litter of pigs, to be
raised by, the boy, the business man
Dr firm in given one of the best spec
imen in return for the original pig
furnished the boy, together with six
per cent interest on the investment.
The then, mother pig, and remain
ing litter is the property of the boy
entering the club. The business man.
if he wishes, can in turn again loan
or sell his pig to another boy on the
same basis. This process may be re
peated time after time, and statis- 1
ticians have figured that within a few
years, several thousand purebred purs
ivi'l be in Transylvania.
The local pig club has agreed to
use only one breed of p:gs in theii .
work, this breed to be selected for its
adaptability here. Already twenty-,
five business men have agreed to in- ,
vest the purchase price of one or I
more pigs each, and others are being
signed up this week. j

NO EXCUSE FOR ANY
CRIPPLED CHILD TO
CONTINUE AS SUCB
May Be Cured, Free of Cosi,
at the Great Shrine

"There is no excuse for any crippl
ed child in Transylvania our.ts
remaining in its crippled conditio.-?,
and I appeal to you members of thi
Kiwanis club to see to it that all s-Jcr
crippled children are given tfeo;*
chance in life by bringing them r
the Shrine Hospital at Greenville, rr
by sending them to your own Shr;>*
Hospital at Gastor.ia," was the ap

Dr. Holmes' address was in co;r
nection with the Greenville Camp, o*
See-Off Mountain, and his remarks
about the crippled children were Lsidt
from the main address. He save
instances of crippled children in thT>
county who had been made "whole
by the tereatment given them at the
Shrine Hospital. It was to ask tfct
Kiwanians to get in touch with sucV
children, if there are any crippled
ones in this county, gain consent cf
the parents and bring the children
to the Greenville institution. There
are no charges whatever in connect
ion with this great work, as ali
expenses are paid the members of tJw
Shrine. President Alexander, of th*
Brevard club, assured the note 3
leader that the local club would d?
all in its power to help along in thi*
work.
Dr. Holmes told the club member*
about the unique building at Cwnj
