Raleigh, June 22 ? Instructing its
26 delegates for Franklin D. Roose
velt for President and heartily en
dorsing the Gardner administration,
the State Democratic Convention, in
session in Raleigh Thursday, adopted
a mid mildly dry plank in its plat
form, which had been worked over
and compromised for four hours by
the platform committee, after turn
ing down a definite "resubmission"
plank of about 1770 to 512.
The "wet-dry:' plank was the onlyj
controversy. The platform report,!
given by "Governor" R. A. Doughton, I
recognized the right, in a legal way, j
to change the constitution and vote!
on all issues, declaring for enforce- i
ment of the law of the land. This was I
described as "not suitable to either, j
but objectionable to neither" of rep-j
resentatives of both candidates fori
the U. S. Senate. i
A minority report, signed by two
of the 11 members of the commit
tee, called for a resubmission of the

their friends and to the tourists with
whom they come in contact in order
to encourage them to remain for a
longer period as well as to return
for a second visit.
Post Card Day has passed but of
ficials of the Chamber of Commerce
urge you to use them often in writing
to your friends for a line of greeting
and invitation to visit Brevard and

mobiles were noted from South Caro

Virginia, while license plates from
Cuba. Kentucky, District of Colum

powerful sermons ever heard here be

Transylvania's Great Heart Heard
The Qry and Responded Beautifully
Transylvania's county great heart
responded in usual spendid manner
to the appeals made last week by the
County Welfare Board, and food,
. supplies and money came into the
headquarters in sufficient quantites
and amounts to give temporary re
lief to the many destitute families
being cared for by the board. Chair
man Douglas has the organization
almost perfected, and with Broadus
Henderson, assisted by citizens in
every section of the county, making
investigations of all appeals, the un
jf^orthy are being weeded out, and as
distance rendered unfo those who
really need and desire aid.
jjr Miss Bertie Ballard is chairman of
the soliciting committee, and many
touching reports are made by this
group. People are giving to the cause
when giving really hurts, and some
instances o: ual in simple beauty the
? ? : n
story of the "Widow's Mite." The
generosity of the people of this com
munity is being weighed, and is not
found wanting.
Mrs. A. B. Galloway and Mrs. M.
H. Holliday assist Mr. Henderson in
the distribution of supplies, giving of
their time and labor to the great,
task.
The Brevard Institute faculty, stu
dent body and working staff, have
adopted a systematic policy in deal
ing with the plan of giving. The en
tire group simply goes without Sun
day breakfast, and the amount thus
saved is donated weekly to the wel
fare board work. At present this
amount is being given in meat and
syrup. It is suggested that families
adopt this plan, or one of similar
nature, in making up their budgei
for regular donation to the needy.
Solicitation for food and money
'will continue.

Mountain range, most of it being vir
gin growth, and thousands of acres
having never been touched by the!
hand of man except when traversed
by hunters, sightseers or fishermen
searching its wondrous streams for
mountain trout. It is said that op
erations will soon start in placement
of sawmills for the purposes of man
ufacturing lumbeij from the .great
trees in the wilderness of the un

ATTRACTING MANY
Many Brevard people spent time at
the Laurel Park Beach, Henderson
ville, last Sunday, where a great
throng of people bathed in the big
lake and lolled on the sandy beach
throughout the day. With its long
sandy beach, and umbrellas spread
all about, while the big lake is filled
with swimmers, Laurel Park Beach
presents a real picture of the sea
shore. . ..
Of interest to people here is the
fact that Arthur Bryson, former Bre
vard boy, is connected with the pro
moters and operators of Laurel Park
Beach, and spent much of his time
last Sunday greeting old friends from
this county. Several parties have also
visited the place during the evenings
this week. An announcement in an
other column is in the form of an
invitation to Transylvania county
people to visit Laurel Park Beach.

Raleigh, June 22 ? Democratic hosts j
are swinging nierily into action look- i
iing toward the three State-wide con- 1
tests on July 2 in a second primary, i
bolstered by contests in several coun- ?
ties, following several expected and !
unexpected developments during the1
past few days. The contest of Sena- 1
tor Cameron Morrison against Rob
ert R. Reynolds was expected, as was !
the run-off race between Col. A. L. !
Fletcher and Clarence Mitchell, his i
runner-up, for the commissioner of.
labor nomination. I
The unexpected phase was the fil-i
ing notices a few hours before the j

R. T. Fountain of a second contest .
against J. C. B. Ehringhaus who led !
him by 47,000 votes in the three-cor- 1
n. red race for the gubernatorial nom
ination. Politicians believed Mr.
Fountain would accept the verdict
and not contest further in what ap
parently is a hopeless cause, and that
is held out to have been the candi
date's view.
Belief is that he was pushed re-j
luctantly into a second contest by ad
visers who are not primarily interest
