of Campaign Spcech.
lion. Jake F. Newell, candidate for
the United States Senate on the Re
publican ticket, opened his campaign
Tin Western North 'Carolina Tuesday
afternoon with an address in the
Transylvania county court house that
was declared by many people of both
political parties to have been one of
the fairest, finest and most states
manlike political speeches ever heard |
in Brevard. Despite the fact that con- |
tinuous rain had fallen throughout
the day, a large crowd came to hear
Mi-. Newell, and in the audience were
many women and a iarge number of
Democrats, with Republicans from
every section of the county .
Mr. Newell is opposing the Hon.
Robert R. Reynolds, Democratic can
didate, and the main issue between
the rivals is that of wet and dry, Mr.
Reynolds standing for repeal of the
18th amendment, while Mr. Newell is

Tells of Value of Outdoor Liv
ing to Young People ?
Stresses Camping.
The new vigor and vitamin-giving
devices have done wonders to bring
health into the home, but nothing can
ever take the place of a day spent
in the fresh air and sunshine.
This is the opinion of Miss Kay
Mitchell, a member of the national
camp advisory staff of the Girl Scouts
who is in Brevard this week.
"I am inclined to think that there
never was a time when it was more j
important to get our girls out-of- 1
doors," said Miss Mitchell. "Theyj
need to learn the real feel of nature ;
and to get first hand experience in j
doing all the things that they see
in the movies and magazines. Seeing
a news reel of Martin Johnson on
safari doesn't give one the same phy
sical sensation as camping out one
self. Breathing the air in an air
conditioned room or sitting under the
rays of a sunshine lamp gives one |
a feeling of well-being, but it doesn't
give one the lasting and pleasurable
memories of a day spent in the open
air.
"On the Girl Scout camping trips,"
Miss Mitchell explained, "it is not
only that the members of a troop
learn the outdoors way of doing 1
things. They are bound to absorb, :
consciously or not, some benefit from !
the natural change of scene. They j
can't possibly put up tents, build fires, j
cook meals, and generally cope with j
nature, without being benefitted by |
its co-existence. Physical fitness cer- !
tainly gives everyone a feeling of |
assurance and mental fitness. The ;
Girl Scouts who learn to feel the j
flow in mind and body that follows
a day of activity out-of-doors, will
always have a standard or natural
fitness to live \ip to and to maintain J
as far as possible.
Girls who have never been camping j
become enthusiastic over this prac- j
tical phase of the Girl Scout program I
Miss Mitchell believes.
"I've never known a girl who did |
not enjoy it," she said. "The pro- j
gram is so complete and flexible, that j
the girl find some way of j
fitting hiiWT into it, must be very j

PLUMBERS CLOSING |
SALE BIG SUCCESS]
The closing out sale being conduc
ted by the Plummer Company has
proved to be one of the most stupen
dous selling events ever staged in
Brevard. During the first day of the
sale, last Friday, the store was pack- i
ed with shoppers eager to take ad- 1
vantage of the numerous bargains ad- !
vertised and this activity has contin
ued throughout the sale to a remark
able degreo despite the inclement
weather during the early part of this
week. Sixteen clerks in addition to
the cashier and floorwalkers were
hardly able to take care of the
throngs, the first two days of the
sale.
The sale continues in full swing and ;
will, according to Mr. Stackley, man- !
ager, be continued until the entire I
stock ia sold out. There are still !
many big bargains but they are rap
idly disappearing and those who wish
to take advantage of this unusual j
opportunity will have to act quickly |
if selling continues as it has done, i
and it is indicated that it will. j
The Plummer Company has been j
doing business in Brevard for fifteen
years and during this time they have !
established a reputation for the high j
quality of their merchandise and '.he j
low prices that have always prevail
ed.". Now they are selling this samei
high grade merchandise at prices that j
have been reduced to the lowest figure i
possible.
How long this sale will continue j
it is not possible to state but it will i
continue until everythng has been j
sold and at the present rate of selling :
that will not be very long. j
HOGSED TAKES OVER

Mr. Au3tin E. Hogsed has purchas-'

pared to offer the public unexcelled
service along this line.

HIGH SCHOOL TAKES i
| FIRST GAME PLAYED
!
In their first game of the season,
played here Saturday, the Blue Devils
of the Brevard High school defeated
the Brevard Institute eleven bv a
score of 20-0. This was the second
game of the season to be played by
the Institute team,
| The game was fast and furious,
' the Institute boys endeavoring to
, make up for their lightness by using
skill in effecting their plays. Bre
vard High, however, has a number of!
letter men., some of the most skillful
players to be found on any team in i
i this section, and this, combined with)
| the fact that the team is heavy, ?
gave them an advantage which the <
Institute lads failed to overcome.
Both teams, however, played a good j
game, and the coaches and players of i
both teams are to be commended for {
the splendid showing they have made j
| in the short time they have had in j
, which to got themselves in readiness, j
I Two of the players Mitchell King. I
of the Blue Deviis and Gilbert Colina !
I of the Institute eleven were injured j
during the game. Young King's leg
was broken while Colino's hip was
i injured.
MITCHELL KINGB
INJURED IN GAME
!
Mitchell King suffered a broken leg J
in the football game Saturday after
noon between the Blue Devils and
the Institute eleven. He was rushed
to the Lyday Memorial hospital for
treatment and is doing as well as can
be expected although he will prob
ably be confined to his bed for some
time and will be unable to participate
in the football games for this season, j
which is a very regrettable fact since |
he was regarded as one of the team's 1
best players.
Gilbert Colina, who was also in
jured in this game is improving rap
idly. He suffered a sprained hip in
the early part of the game and re
ceived medical attention on the field.
Colino is on the Institute team.
INTERS KEEN IN i
DAHLIA SOCIETY!
i .
. i
Considerable interest is being ;
shown in the proposed Dahlia society !
here and plans are being laid to make!,
of it -a permanent organization. There j
is considerable discussion among in- J
terested parties who are of the opin- 1
ion that such an organization will be j
of material benefit to this section |
since some exceptionally fine sptci- 1
men of the beautiful flower have j
been produced here, many of themj
winning prizes at various shows j
throughout this section. j
There is also considerable discus
sion relative to a proposed Dahlia
show to be held in the fall of this
year. At a meeting to be held in the
class room of Prof. Glazener at the
Brevard High school Friday night at
7:4-5 those interested in the Dahlia
society will discuss this and the pro
posed show. While this meeting will
bs of particular interest to those in
terested in Dahlias all flower lovers
:i'-e cordially invited to attend.
Order leaders and a three reel motion
picture portraying some of the acti
vities of this organization.

sion and the public is cordially in- .

PRONOUNCE FAIR AS
MOST SUCCESSFUL
EVENT OF ITS KIND
Much of Credit; for Great
Success Given To Young
Tar Heel Farmer#
EXHIBITS WIRE BEST
IN HISTORY OF FAIR
Interest In The Fair Said To
Have Been Greater Than
Ever Before
The third annual Sylvan Valley j
fair held at the High school here
Saturday was the biggest and best
since its inception, not only in point
of exhibits but in interest manifest
by both participants and spectators.
The entire lower floor of the school
building' was given over to the va
rious .exhibits, both individual and
community, while the gfirage and I
grounds were used for the poultry :
and livestock exhibits.
No small part of the credit Tor the i
success of the fair this year is due|
to the Young Tarheel Farmers, who
have devoted a great deal of time and j
effort to make this, the outstanding
fair it proved to be. And the women
of the county, with their contribu
tion of canned goods, fancy work,
flowers and other things were largely
responsible for the success of the
community and township exhibits.
The Home economics class exhibits
were the best ever offered and Pro
lessor Gl&zener, who directed the ac
tivities and to whom much credit is !
due, is greatly pleased with the way
in which all these people lent their 1

PIEDMONT CAROLINA CONCERNED ABOUT j
RAPID GROWTH OF COMMUNIST PARTY j
(By Jeff Palmer) I
Charlotte, Oct. 5 ? While the people !
of the mountain section are entirely!
free from the influences of the Com- j
munist party, the Piedmont and east- j
err. sections are not so free. It is 1
known that the people of the moun- 1
tains have not as yet realized the j
danger in the activities and growing :
influences of the communitsts.
Determined efforts are Swing made ]
by a communist group in this state
to have the names of its presidential .
electors printed on the official North
Carolina ballot to be used in the gen- '
era! election of November 8t'n.
The first legal skirmish was lost by
the communist-3 on September 16th, in
Raleigh, when Judge N. A. Sinclair
denied a plea for a writ of mandamus
to force the state board of elections
to place the names of the communist
electors on the ticket. The state board
of elections has taken the position
that names of electors other than
those of the Democratic and Republi
can parties will not be printed on the
ballot unles3 lists of candidates of j
other political parties are accompa- .
nied by declarations signed by iO,-j
000 voters of the state certifying '.
that the reputed parties is such.
It is understood that the commun- J
ist organization intends to carry the j
fight to the supreme court and J. j
Frank Flowers, Charlotte "lawyer, at- !
torney for A. W. Keller and others |
of Charlotte, said to be candidates 011 j
the communist ticket, are awaiting |
instructions from the group to take
the case before that body. i

League, candidate for president ofi

COMMUNITY SHOWING
Agriculture and Home Eco
nomics Classes Given Much
Credit For Success.
The annual fair at Rosman this
year proved the best ever staged both
as regards the attendance and the
number and attractiveness of exhib
its, individual and community.
To Prof. Corbin, the vocational ag
riculture class, home economics class
es goes to the major credit for the
success of the enterprise although
these workers stated emphatically
that had it not been for the loyalty
and cooperation of the people of Ros
man and the communities in that sec
tion the event would have been "just
a fair."
Never have such fine exhibit? been
011 display in this section. Farm pro
ducts, Garden produce, canned goods,
fancy work, live stock and poultry
proved to the large number of visitors
Saturday that thi3 section of Tran
sylvania county is most assuredly
alert to rapid progress being made
along these various lines.
The inside exhibits were on display
in the Gymnasium and this building
was crowded throughout the day to
the point of suffocation, with eager
spectators who enthusiastically

BUILDING AND" LOaT
ASSOCIATIONS MAY
| EXTEND MATURITY
]
! Establishment of Home Loan
Bank In State To Aid
i Institutions
I
! Raleigh. ? Building and loan asso
i ciations in North Carolina are now
: considering and may soon adopt a
plan of extending maturities of build
ing and loan stock over a greater
number of years, thus permitting the
man with a small income to get into
the class of home owners at a smaller
cost, 0. K. LaRoque, directer of the
I building and loan division of the stats
insurance department, state.s.
Heretofore, the associations were
required to have the money on hand
1 for investors who arc not borrowers,
when their stock matured in some less
than seven years, but the Home I.oan
Bank, soon to be established in Win
ston-Salem, will provide them with
these needed funds and permit them
to carry for longer periods other
share holders who are paying for
homes, he said.
Illustrating, he said that 25 shares
of building and loan stock require.
pajTnc-nt of $25 a month, cr if a
loan for that amount is taken out bv
the share purchaser, the interest r*
$12.50 brings the total payment ti
$37.50 a month, in order to oiiture
it in slightly less than seven years.
On the mher hand the share pur
chaser who borrows to paj "!jx or
build a home, could pay $25 a momn,
$12.50 on the loan arid $12.50 interest,
and mature his shares in approxi
mately 12 years. The point Jlr. La
Roque makes is that if some of ike
shares of building and loan associa
tions are so aimed as to mature in
about 12 years, instead of about seven
the payments would be reduced about
one-third and 3 large class cf citi
zens, unable to pay the principal and
interest payments now, would be
brought into the group of home pur
chasers and owners undtr the reduced
payments.
Mr. I.aRo^ue has been advocating
this plan and numbers of the asso
ciations aro looking upon it with
favor now that the Home Lean Banks
are soon to become permanc-nt ad
juncts and will be prepared ?o supply
them to carry the shareholders over
a longer period than they could have
done without the Home Loan Bark
help.
