| Oliver H. Orr, nominated at the
J Republican convention for sheriff-tax
I collector, met with the county execu
j tive committee last Thursday, and
(?made definite announcement that he
*
could not make the race. Mr. Orr was
not present when the convention nom
inated him for the office, md no time
since has he made any intimation that
j he would accept the nomination. At
j the committee meeting last week, Mr.
I Orr explained to the members of the
j executive council that business and
1 personal affairs are such that he was
j compelled to decline the nomination.
The committee unanimously select
{ cd W. A. Lyday, of Pisgah Forest, as
the Republican nominee for sheriff
land tax collector. Mr. Lyday is wide
i ly and favorably known in the coun
ty, and has been with the Carr Lum
bcr company for a great many years.

ticket was substitution of E. 0. Ship- j

the place on the ticket made vacant,
because Mr. W. W. Croushorn had
asked that he be not urged to accept

at the county convention. Mr. Crous

! WORKERS ON STRIKE
Three hundred and fifty men and
women employed in the Spencer Mills
at Spindale walked out Tuesday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, because of their
j announced determinatipn not to work
. any longer under direction of the new
i superintendent, A. F. Burgess, of
Rhode Island. For sixteen years. Mr.
|J. 0. Williams, superintendent now
] of the mills at Tuxedo and Brevard,
j was superintendent of the Spindale
I mil! where the trouble is being ex
[ perienced. The strikers want Mr.
| Williams back to direct their work,
j or some other superintendent to re
' place the Rhode Island man.
It is said that the new superinten
dent, Mr. Burgess, had installed the
"stretch-out system" and it was
against this new method that the em
ployes are striking. The affair is of
iocal interest because of the fact that
Mr. Williams, for many years in j
charge of the Spindale mill, is now in
this community as superintendent of
the Tuxedo and Brevard plants.

Lion's Paw Lost In Brevard Said
' To Bear Heavy Curse To Keeper
j FINDER ? Please return to rightful
; owner, Prof. C. L. Curley, at the j
| Clayton Hotel.
There is an interesting story in
j the^e few words, according to Mr. j
j Curley. The lost article is the claw i
I of a lion that Mr. Curley captured j
in the wilds of Africa when it was |
! but a young thing, and which he j
trained and exhibited for years a3 1
part of his act with the great shows
of the country, including Barnum and
Bailey, Robinson's Shows, and others.
Mr. Cnrley says that the finder of
the lion's claw, which is held together
with a strand of inlaid gold, will do
well to return the article to him, as
nothing but bad luck can come to the
finder who tries to keep it The Hon
from who3e foot the claw was taken
belonged to a man-eating lion fsmily,
and this, the natives where lions
grew say, places a curse upon anyone
who illegally carries any portion of
such a lion about his person or keeps
it in his possession. y
i Mr, Curley says he lost the article J
some place in the business section of
the town, and expresses the hope th?
the finder will return it to him im
mediately, before something awful
happens to the finder who attempts
to keep lion's paw in his possession
Mr. Curley can tell some very har
rowing experiences suffered by thoae
who have tried to steal this valuable
article, or keep it when it would be
come misplaced on his travel*. He
says the curse that unlawful holding
cf the ciaw placcj: upon the person
holding it is most serious, and al
ways results in awful consequences to
the person having it in their posses
sion.
