WALLACE HARTSEL Was Pastor of Brevard Baptist Church For A Period of Seven Year*. ! Rev. Wallace Hartsell, for seven years pastor of the Brevard Baptist church, died at Durham last Friday night, following an operation earlier in the week. Funeral services were held at Lakewood Baptist church, in Durham, Sunday afternoon, where the deceased had been pastor for the past two years, Burial was made Monday afternoon in Oakbcro ceme tery, Stanley county. The Rev. Mr. Hartsell came to Bre vard in 1922, and soon became one of the outstanding men in the commu nity. His preaching was powerful and the congregation increased in number rapidly during his pastorate. As a citizen he was most active, being one of the best loved members of the Bre vard Kiwanis club from the time of its organization, and was for many years a member of the board of di rectors of the club, serving one year as president. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge and the Woodmen of the World and other fraternal orga nizations. He was in constant demand as a speaker, and while living in Bre vard was called upon to speak in practically every city and town in Western North Carolina. In 1929 Mr. Hartsell left Brevard to take the pastorate of the Baptist church in King's Mountain, and was soon called to the larger church at Durham, where he served as pastor until his death. Rev. Paul Hartsell, a brother, came to Brevard as pastor of the Baptist church when the Rev. Wallace Hart sell left here. Rev. Paul Hartsell and his family left Brevard early last week to be at the bedside of his stricken brother, and was with him at his passing. The deceased is survived by his widow, one son and one daughter, and his father, the Rev. P. S. Hartsell, and several brothers, including Rev. Paul Hartsell, of Brevard.

Among the prominent speakers were Gov. 0. Max Gardner, of North Carolina and Dean Roscoe Pounds of the Harvard Law school and others.

These practices to be ] outlined in a text book for use by the I various officials. ! "The Institute of Government," I Mr. Ramsey said "is being organiz ed to relieve a situation existing at i the present time which must be rem- 1 edied. Office holders, newly elected to their respective posts, launch into their duties with absolutely no know ledge of how the office is run. The length of time required to become fa miliar with these duties is that much time lost and that much expense to the people. The function of the In stitute will be to promote uniform regulations and practice by the va rious officials and plans arc under way for the establishing of regular classes in government to be attended by the newly elected officials."

Imam democratic AND SMITH WINNER IN BLEASE CONTEST Elections fa Widely Scattered Seniors Hold Interest of Peopk In County. n ? SHERIFF CRAIG LOSES | IN RUN OFF CONTEST ' Democrats Accept Victory In Maine As Foretelling National Victory. j j Elections this week in widely scat tered sections have been the topic of i conversation, the people of this com | munity being more interested in the i run-off primary in South Carolina, ( and the general election in Maine [ than in all others. Maine's election of a Democratic Governor and two Dem ocratic congressmen has served as an encouraging factor to the people of Democratic faith. It is the first time in 18 years that Maine has elected a Democratic governor, and the long accepted rule that "as goes Maine, so goes the Nation," is being used by the Democrats in furthering- claims their party will be successful in the national election in November. That the Republicans have taken i notice also of the trend indicated by | the Maine elections is found in the i urgent appeal made by President Hoover Tuesday night for a greater and more active effort on the part of the members of his party during the remaining weeks of the campaign. Closer home the run-off contest between Senator Smith, of South Carolina, and former Senator Cole L. Blease has held the attention of the people here almost As much as any contest in North Carolina would hold such interest. Senator Smith was winner, easily out-classing the color ful Coley Blease in the contest. Defeat of Sheriff Craig in Pickens county, by a bare majority of 23 votes in the run-off caused real con cern among- the sheriff's many friends in Transylvania county. Sheriff Craig has a great host of friends in this section. 4 if ACTIVITY OF STATE HIGHWAY AFFAIRS RESENTED BY LABOR Predicted That Highway Pa trol Would Become Regu lar Cossack* la Time.

When the I state of North Carolina began talking I about organizing and placing upon j the highways of the state a force to ( be known as a state highway patrol, j leaders of organized labor declared i their opposition to the movement.This j opposition was based upon the charge ! that the highway patrol would soon become an army of regular Cossacks, to be used in case of labor teoubles against the workers. The idea was opposed by the leaders of the move ment. Since labor troubles started in this city and spread to other places during r.?cent weeks, brought $j>out through j j the wage reductions put into force J i and effect by the employers, the state ! of North Carolina has been doing ex [ actly what the leaders in the labor I movement said would be done in the I event the state adopted the highway ' patrol system. The highway policemen I have been used in all of these labor ] troubles and the clash that occurred j last Saturday between officers and -the ; workers at Thomasville has empha sized the fact that the leaders in the labor movement were right when mak ing their prediction some years ago. j It is being whispered about here that the officials of North Carolina are to hear from the people because of the use of the highway patrol for ces in strike zones. It is being told to the officials that there are regular po lice forces and sheriff's departments in all of these places where trouble is being experienced between the ( Continued on back page) No More "Street Dances" Permitted;,!

The sermon j was a splendid one and was well de- ! livered; | jf? or the evening service *he took as i his theme, "T h e Unconcealable [ Christ," taking as his text " .... He j could r.ot be hid." He laid especial j stress upon the fact that if Christ i is in the individual he cannot be hid j because he is so big it is impossible to hide him. He recalled how Christ at times, when he felt the need of rest and relaxation attempted to avoid the crowds and to hide Himself but thst it was impossible. His sermon was thoroughly enjoyed by all who heard' him because of the direct per sonal application the subject held for the individual and because of the fact Mr. Grogan, one of "Brevard's home boys" i3 widely knGwr. and admired, having been actively interested in church work for some time.

EXPECT THIEVERY TO INCREASE HERE j Mountain Section Once Boast ed No Locked Doors, Now Infested.' Suggestion is made that all prop- ! erty owners take precaution in guard- j ing against thievery during the Aut- ] urns and Winter months, and acting upon this suggestion it is reported! that many shotguns have been oiled up and loaded, new locks have been j purchased and new shutters have been placed over windows and open- ' ings. Some of the older citizens who recalled the days when no house in this section was ever locked, and corn cribs stood filled, to the brim without, even any door shutters, cannot yei understand that there is danger of their possessions being stolen. It once was the boast of these mountain sec tions that no thieves operated here abouts. Not only has petty thievery in creased, it is pointed out, but regular organized gangs of daring robbers are now operating throughout the state, and it is believed that some of these gangs have their headquarters and their hide-outs in the Western counties of the state. So bold have be come some of these gangsters that daylight robberies of banks have been pulled off in North Carolina during recent months in such manner as to turn the attention of the citizens of X'orth Carolina from the racketeer in Chicago to the disturbing fact that hese operations in their own state -re becoming somewhat commonplace. One officer remarked, in talking about the situation, that there are I two things to be done immediately1 when there is evidence of the pres ence of a thief about the premises: Shoot first,' and then call the offi cers. "But when you shoot, shoot to kill," this officer advised. YOUNG FARMERS TO ACCOMPLISH MUCH!

Transylvania County may share in the distribution of Federal Funds for relief of destitution this winter in proportion to the extent that through its own efforts, both private ai)d gov ernmental, its citizens utilize their own resources to this end, according to D-. Fred Morrison, State director of relief. Federal assistance in this under taking. declared Dr. Morrison, is not to be substituted for local relief ef forts. On the other -^land, it is pro vided only to supplement the maxi mum that local communities do for their own people and will be available only when the Washington authori ties are convinced that local resources in each community are inadeouate t? meet the needs for relief. In order, therefore, for this county to participate in the fund which Gov ernor Gardner will seek from the Re construction Finance Corporation for all of North Carolina, it will be nec essary for its relief agencies, public ' and private, to make a thorough sur vey of prospective needs of it/ desti tute people and then to furnish evi dence that its is undertaking to meet conditions with its own resources as completely as possible. When this shall have been done ; in this county, when all local rssourc I es for relief have been depleted and I the relief needs remain unprovided for, it is the purpose of the R. F.
