j
Gwk Forest school at East Fork i
has been re-established by order of |
the authorities at Raleigh, according ;
to information received here Wednes-J
day by Superintendent J. B. Jon?s. j
This school was consolidated last |
year with the Rosman school, but on i
account of the fact that many chil
dren had to walk a long distance to
the highway over which the school
bus traveled, it was decided to re
establish the Oak Forest school for
that community.
Superintendent Jones will meet
with the school committee of East
Fork and the Rosman committee, in
Rosman next Monday morning and j
select a teacher for the school. It is j
said that a teacher will be taken
from the Rosman school to teach at

Journalist Describes the Beauty of
Electrical Storm on Pisgah Mountain!
i
While enjoying a picnic on Mt. Pis
gah in the P;>gah National Forest, a
party including Rev.- and Mrs. A. L.
Vaughan and their daughters, Misses
Ruth and Martha Vaughan and Mr.
and Mrs. Theo Vaughan witnessed
one of the most beautiful spectacles
of nature, an electric thunder storm.
In response to the request of her
father-im-law, Rev. A. L. Vaughn,
Mrs. Theo Vaughan, a Journalistic
student at Clemson College, S. C.
wrote the following beautiful descrip
tion of her -interpretation of the
scene. .
Sunshine tumbled rather carelessly
about the mountain peaks and valleys
that afternoon. Little did it care
i whether or not it dominated the
scene ? in fact, it rather seemed to
tolerate a few scattered clouds. But
Nature, Commander off all elements,
was using sunshine, wind, and clouds,
that day to administer her holiest
sacrament, baptism, to her greatest,
and therefore her most beloved of
all the "high placss," Pisgah.
Alone, we mortals enter this world ;
alone we go beneath the soul-cleans
ing water of redemption; alone we go
from this vale of tears into eternal
life. And it was so with Pisgah. Na
ture wrapped soft, grey clouds tender
ly, gently about the peak until, with

Institute and during that time prom
inent in the social, civic and religious
life of Brevard filled the pulpit of the
Brevard Methodist church for his
farewell sermon, Sunday evening at
8 o'clock.
Rev. Mr. Winton spoke on "The
'Mystery' of the Inner Experience,"
choosing his text from 1 Cor. 2:7
which reads : "But we speak the wis
dom of God in a mystery, even the
wisdom that hath been hidden, which
God fore-ordained before the worlds
into our glory."
In introducing his subject Mr. Win
ton said :
I
! . "Any manifestation of power,
whether physical or spiritual, directs
us to its source. We cannot be con
tent merely with the manifestation.
We seek to understand its origin. So
in the manifestations we see of the
power of spiritual religion in the life
of Jesus and in the life of men brings
on the impelling necessity of. discov
ering its secrets."
Basing his well developed, powerful
sermon, upon three main points, Mr.
Winton held the interest of his large
congregation as he clarified each
point.
