LARGE TASNERY FOR BREYARD
AT A COST OF $25O,OOO.
Wnl Bring at Least 200 Hands to That
TOwnEBusinesS Men Subscribe
$1,000 for Building Site.

The people of Brevard are greatly
concerned over what appears to be the
Certainty of the establishment of big
industrial enterprise in the town with
in very short time says special to
the Charlotte Observer. Plans are
rapidly developing for tie erection D.
the largest tannery and belt factory in
the Southern States, with an estimate3
expenditure for buildings and equip
ment of something like $250,000, and
which will bring to the town between
200 and 300 skilled employees.
The business men of Brevard have
subscribed $4,000 with which to pur-
chase the building site to donate to
the company as an inducement to have
the plant located there.
Work is expected to start at once,
and the establishment pus4le d rapidly
to completion. The capital behind the
enterprise will be furnished by North
ern and Western business men, and
the assurance is giVe1 that enough
capital will be used to do business on a
large scale.
1t is asserted by those in close touch
with the promoters that the monthly
payroll will approximate $4,000.
In addition to the business of tan
ming leather on a big scale. it is pro-
posed to manufacture high grade of
leather betting and possibly some by
products of the tanning industry.
The plant will 1be located just out
side the present corporate limits on a
2O-acre tract, easily accessible to the
Southern Railway main track. from
which several spurs will be run.

PISGAH FOREST NOW A.
FEDERAL GAME PRESERVE.

Pisgah National Forest In Western
North Carolina near Biltmore which
was purchased from the George w
Vanderbilt estate, has been made a
Federal game preserve by prociama-
ton of the President Of the United
States, and deer, wild turlvcy, and
other game that are said to be plenzi-
full in this tract, which is regarded asl
one of the most interesting places in
the "Land of the Sky" will be protect
ed by the government. This Is the
first Federal game preserve OF its kind
to be created east Of the Misstssippl
river Pisgah Forest is easily access
sib1e from all parts of the South. be-
ing reached by main lines OF the
Southern Railway from Knoxville,
Tenn, Salisbury, " C.. and Spartan
burg, S. C.
Owing TO the protection against
hunting which has been afforded the
tract for number of years, the game
has not been killed out, as Is the case
in most places in the southern noun
tains. AS q game preserve. no hunt
ing will be allowed in the forest, and
as deer and other game Increase on
the area it is expected that the over
flow will drift out of the Forest and
gradually restock adjacent lands. A
movement now is on foot to place a
herd of elk and one Of buffalo In the
preserve this winter.
Regulations governing the camntng
and fishing privileges have been drawn
up in cooperation with local citizens
and sporting clubs. and will be issued
by the Secretary of Agriculture. It's
understood that regulated fishing viii
be allowed. but the number of per-
mits issued the first season will be-
purely experimental, since the capac-
ity of the streams Is not known.

GETS GOOD PRICE
FOR HENDERSON COUNTY
CATTLE AT BAL 1IkORE
Nine Hundred and Twenty Head Sold
on Baltimore Market for Canning
Purposes Brings Back LOCO.

J. B. Sherman, who runs meat
market on East Seventh Avenue, this
fall has found market for and shipped
out of Hendersonville $40 head of cat
tie, the 920 head bringing to the far
mers of Henderson county $21, 900.
This price is considered good because
in the entire lot there were very few
beef cattle. most Of them being scrub
stock, and not marketable as beef cat
tie. They were all shipped to Balti-
more and will be used in making cam
ned meats.
Rev. George F. Wright. Baptist
preacher. scoutmaster, friend OF
schools, and general all-round good
fellow, got busy the other day and
figured out thatsoWing to- Mr.. Sherman
getting in touch with the Baltimore
people the saving of a large sum OF
money to the people of Henderson
county was affected. The cattle
brought in. as stated above $21 900.
and If they had been kept here until
another season it would have taken
Isa bag Of meal month for each head
to feed them an da good deal of rough
ness besides. That would mean seven
| bags of meal per head to feed the cat4
tle for the next seven months, 6,440
bags in all, and it would have cost the
farmers $12,880 to feed the cattle for
this period. If the cattle had been
kept here the farmers would have
been short the 81, 900 received and in
addition would have had to pay OUT
$12,880 for meal, making a total saw
ing of $33, $50, counting the cost of the
meal alone. 1t is estimated that
counting the roughness the saving
would run to about $4,000.
It must be remembered that thes5
were not beef cattle and this amount
could not possibly have been realized
selling them as such because they
were mostly scrubs.
Good beef cattle always command
high prices and what this county needs
| is more of them. Col. T. Gilbert Wood
Of the Southern Railway company.
stopping here several weeks ago, said
that there were more beef cattle IN
this section than usual. and it is graft
| flying to know that scrub stock viii
soon be thing of the past. This sec
ton of the country is fine for raising
cattle and the chances are that before
many years cattle raising will be .
big item with the farmers.

JUDGE MAY RENDER

damus compelling the board to recon
yene and properly discharge" its

Judge Adams will render decision in
the case today, as the arguments are
all in.
The publication of the certified vote
of BuncomEe county in the recent cleo
ton by the county board OF canvassers
Friday night gave Zebulon Weaver,
democratic candidate, an additional q
votes, and a total majority of nine
vO1es over his opponent, James J.
Britt.
The increase in Weaver's vote from
282 majority in this. county to a ma
JOrity Of $40 wsS caused by the addi-
ton Of unmarked congressional bal
lots which have been in dispute since
election day. The ballots separate
from all others, contained the name
of only one candidate and in some in
stances were not marked. Mr.. Britt's
attorneys alIege that the unmarked
ballots counted for Mr.. Weaver were
picked in five precincts in the county
wherein the unmarked ballots were
cast for the democratic candidate,
Congressman Britt contends that more
than 100 unmarked ballots were voted
for him throughout the entire district
but were not included in the official
returns.
The hearing in the mandamus case
has been in progress all week. Mr..
Britt's attorneys claim that the board
did not act in accordance with the
statutes. The main contention of the
hoard is to the effect that they did not
nave all the returns in at the time they
first met to canvass the results. and
that adjournment was necessary from
time to time until such returns were
received. The case is in the hands Of
the law now for settlement and all
good citizens should abide by the de-
cision.

idea of emperor divinity.
Such an idea IL incompatible with the
teachings Of the missionaries. By in
culating the doctrines Of Christianity.
they work against the acceptance Of q
creed which Is the corner stone OF the
Japanese state. Thus when Prince Ito
said that the missionaries would be UNI
molested SO long as their teachings were
in no way political, he made q statement
that sounded well and meant very little.
That his course was justified under the
circumstances is probably true. but his
manner Of stating 1t deliberately OBJ
scured the issue.
The American missionaries have been
conducting themselves with great tact
gime. and as a result their work Is still
going forward actively and success
fully. But the fact cannot be blinked
that Japanese annexation spelled an
enormous setback to the cause of Chris
tianity in Korea. Widespread Chris
tianization is incompatible with the
japanese theory Of government.
In this case. as in the question OF
trade and industry, unfortunate Korea
Is Of interest chiefly as a pertinent
warning-as the handwriting on the
wall. Her life as an autonomous en-
pire is over. She is part of Japan. But
now Japan turns toward China, a land
infinitely richer and fuller Of POSSIBLE
tiles. where American merchants and
American missionaries have a stake
correspondingly greater. Through the
fog of diplomatic evasions and smooth
promises which hangs over the situa-
ton the form OF Korea looms solid and
significant.
