The long, long step that many have waited for seems to have loet its glamour ? possession of beer, like possession of most other things, quieting the hysteria of attainment. Healthy happy prosperous peo ple are destined to be the general rule, at least that's what "They say." We hope that it will prove to be all that it is supposed to be in the way of bringing prosperity and lower taxes, and that nevermore will there be need for any person to go hungry or cold. Frankly we look for no such great good to come from the sale of legal ized beer. and predict that we'll all have our fill of the stuff within a year. However, wo are truly g ad that those who feel that their privilege as a citizen has been taken away, can now enjoy legalized drink. As has been stated before in this newspaper, let those who want it and can AFFORD it, have it, and the rest of us will be no worse off by attending to our own business. LOOKS HAD FOR RAX K OFFSET BILL As this is being written, Monday night, it seems that in spite of all that can be done. Dictator Gurney Hood is ,\oing to have the bank de posit offset bill put so far out of sight that no legislator will have the nerve to try reviving it. "Unconstitutional," says Mr. Hood, and automatically 2.'? counties of Western North Carolina are placed in the background insofar as any aid is forthcoming from trading de posits in closed banks, most of which deposits are worth less than nothing. Not being high-finaiiee minded, this paper does not attempt to say just how the matter of liquidation shou d be improved upon, and just what measures should be taken to insure depositors in closed banks that are in similar conditions to the defunct Brevard Hanking com pany <>f getting a little > f their hard earned dollars back, but we don't like the way Adolf Hitler Hood goes about dictating just what the Gen eral Assembly of N'orth Carolina -"hould and should not do. In this The Times is not alone. Other papers are wondering just where Mussolini Hood gets his great powers. 1 he Ashevil.e Time's puts it this way: Opposition of the Statu Adminis tration to the "bank offset act,'' the arrangement by which a depositor of a closed bank may sell claim to a debtor <>!' the bank, is becoming st longer. Thursday, the Administra tion forces in the Legislature killed a biL that would have made the plan applicable to 23 counties; and later dispatches forecast renewed effort to repeal the Sul ivan law which ap plies only to Buncombe County. That this bank relief, so to speai;, sponsored by Representative Sulli van is popular is plain. That the op position ei'ntvnts itself with term ing the Sullivan law unconstitutional is strange. That Bank Commissioner Hood should announce his open de finance of the law is truly remark able. The Times confesses to doubts about the soundness of the bank off set bil >. We desire further informa tion. These proposals indeed offer ap preciable aid to some of. the de positors; but is not that arbitrarily creating a class of perferred credi tors at the expense of depositors un unable to sell their deposits. Yet whatever the merits of the Sullivan law, whatever the Bank Commissioner's ideas as to its work ability, the fact remains that it is the plain duty of a public official ? even more binding than upon a pri vate citizen ? to obey the law. Mr. Hood seems to forget that the state has an admirable body of Su preme Court justices to pass upon the va'idity of the acts of the j Legislature. There appears no clear j necessity for Mr. Howl's taking ov er the functions of the Supreme I Court. | Probably Czar Hood does not sec( it as we do here in Transylvania. | As matter r.ow stand, and with pas-j sage of the Offset measure in some orm whereby a man could have j j raded or soid his deposits, John Doe couid hsve taken the de- j losits he now has in the ciosed Bre- ' J ard Bank, sell 't to Sam Jones for , ; 10 cents on the dollar; take this ; < ame 40 cents, buy town of Brevard | < >onds and turn them in on paving 1 J tssessments and debt service por- J ion of taxes, thus getting one hun- ' Ired cents on the dollar for his de- , 4 >osit in the Brevard Bank, and at he same time helping his neighbor >ay off a debt to the bank that looks < ike a hard job right now to hand'e. 1 King Hood may be right in his . stand on the matter insofar as leg- ' ility of the question goes, but we ;an't see it, and further, can't gee svhy a whole state has to be under t :he rule of any one man. ' LOOK TO THE LADIES TO KEEP THINGS GOING. i Again this season it looks as it ladies of the town are to take the initiative in keeping Brevard on the map, and to insure a fair tourist season. Faced with the problem of no Chamber of Commerce, members of; the Women's Civic club are em- ! phatic in their assertion thai there must and will be a clearing house, information bureau, or term it what you may. This bunch of women, who are gradually taking the lead ership in community affairs, have already more than justified existence j of their organization and are go ing on in spite of the fact that "we ain't got no money to operate a Chamber of Commerce." That they will operate the Bureau of Information has not been def initely decided upon, a committee having been appointed Monday to "feel out" the situation? but know ing the ladies as we do, we unhesi tating'y assert that there will be a Chamber of Commerce here this sum mer, operated by the Women's Civic club, and that it will nave the back ing of the community. Of course there will be a few, as there always are, who will refuse to support the organization in its work. This is to be expected, but as a general rule, business people of the town will back the ladies in their work for thg community and will assist in taking care of the finan ces. Thank the Lord for women like we have in Brevard. A BREATH-TAKING H"<f. ( G reenv i I !e Piedmon t ) Even its most ardent champion* confess they do not know the full import and effect of the farm bill passed yesterday by the United ? States Senate and which must uo through only the formality of Sen ate-House conference before the pres ident signs it. It is a vast and intricate piece of legislation and it confers upon Hen ry Wallace of Iowa more power than any previous secretary of agri culture ever he'd or even dreamed of holding. Under its terms Secretary Wal lace can reach into every American home and overnight raise or lower the price of groceries. He can control price and produc tion, can tell the farmer when arid how much to piant, can license busi 'ness establishments or drive them out of business by refusing to license them. He can dump wheat on the world market and ma kf I Liverpool prices ; gyrate like a canoe in a storm. He can put the United States into the real estate business by leasing vast tracts of farm lands. He can be banker, broker and creditor to the farmer by refinancing his mortgages. ' In other words, under this drastic and breath-taking bill Secretary Wallace can regulate everything pertaining' to the farm except rain fail and frost, sun and the season. The weapons under which he can do these things include tin' domestic allotment plan, particularly objec tionable to the cotton mill's the cot ton option plan and the market leasing provision. It is a time for new and drastic experiment and we hope for the best from this remarkable measure, if and when the House and Senate iron out i their differences and the president signs it, but we would be foolish to close our eyes to the fact that the ?bill could be. if improperly adminis , tercd, a most dangerous piece of I legislation. I The fact that even its advocates !do not know its full import and ef , feet is proof enough of this. nounr.E duty The chief constable of a small | town was also an expert veterinary j surgeon. One nipht the phone rang land the constable's wife answered it. J '"Is the constable there?" asked j an' agitated voice. "Do you want my husband in his ! capacity of veterinary fcnrpeon, or las chief constable?" inquired the woman of the household. "Both, madam," came the reply. ("We can't get our now buklog to open Ins mouth, and there's a bnrg 'ar in it." She: "It's so sweet of you to briny me this lovely mistletoe." He: "Don't mention it ? the pleas ure's going to bo mine." ? GLANCING f | BACK AT | | BREVARD | t * | Taken from the files of The % f Sylvan Valley News, beginning ? I 1895, through the courtesy oi * ? Mrs. W. B. F. Wright. f-i'H : u s i i :- i' ++** ** h.** (From the file of May 21. 1897) The question of licensing a saloon :ame before our new board of alder men at their meeting Monday, and was voted down. Personally the NEWS is not in favor of open sa loon. The dispensary method of con trol, by which the town would reap all the profits, while those who need ed intoxicanits could get them by complying with the ordinances gov erning the same. We are not in favor of licensing an evil for some un principled person to make money out of. but as it cannot be abolished it should be controlled. Something must be done to remedy present conditions. Rev. C. D. Chapman in company with W I.. Hume, took a buggy ride at Sapphire last Saturday. He says a good road from Brevard to Sap phire would be the most popular drive in this mountain country. W. H. King, who owns the only spot in the Pinkbed valley where a town could well be built, offers his place for sale at a bargain. A mile of Looking Glass creek, a trout stream par excellence, orchards, frame house ;of six rooms, carp ! pond., etc. For a summer residence i this place has no superior. Alderman A. E. Boardman is ini- 1 proving his beautiful residence prop erty by the erection of granite gate posts at its principal entrances. Chas Kilpatrick is doing the stone- j cutting. j , John McMinn seems to be takinc , lessons in the banking business. It is j rumored that he will be cashier of the Brevard bank about June 1st. I Sarah Thomas the little daughter of M. C. Thcmas died at her home | near Tip Top May 12. She was buried at Oak Grove cemetery. Her obsequies were witnessed by her many friends, schoolmates and play mates. Sympathies are extended ti> the bereaved family. We notice with pleasure that Clyde Duckworth has returned to Brevard after his course in the Asheville business college. Nothing hurts a town more than for its young men to seek homes elsewhere. The ol<i fogyism of previous generations must be supplanted by new methods and new ideas, and it requires the young men who have educated themselves for business, to inaugu rate improved methods. Brevard ik' going to grow, and we shall bt pleased to see her young men enter the field and impress their person ality on her future progress. With the requblicans in power in both branches of the national legis lature, and with thu president to urge haste and Czar Reed to rule the Dingley tariff bill, and from present indications it will be months before the prosperity wave can bo started. The fact becomes daily more apparent that the republicans would Ik pleased if there was an or ganized partisan opposition to defeat the bill. There would then be some one to shoulder the responsibility for the continued hard times besides the republicans themselves. With 1200 amendments tacked to the tariff bill by the senate, there is little left of the Dingley failure ex cept its title, and the senate may yet amend that. The Ep worth league of the .Metho dist church will give an ice cream ;and strawberry festival at the Red House on Tuesday night .May 25, in aid of Brevard Epworth School. Mr. J. R. Stevens and Miss A lies Duckworth will be married at noon today at the residence of J. E. Duck worth at Brevard. Miss Duckworth is the daughter of Joseph E. Duck wcrth, a wealthy farmer and stock raiser, and one of the best known men in Transylvania county. Mr. Stevens is a popular young man, well known in Asheville, and holds a fine position with A. D. Cooper. X. A. Johnson, also with Mr. Cooper, will be the best man. The wedding will be a quiet one, with only a few friends present. The couple will re turn to Buena Vista, the home of Mr< Steven's parents, where a ! wedding supper will be served. The young couple will make Asheville i their future home. I Miss Nancy Wilson of this coun ty who has been attending the C11I-' lowhce school was quietly married to Mr. W. W. Brown of Painter N. C. Mrs. Brown graduated in the classical department of the school ; at the close of the last session, ishe , now starts, cut in the matrimonial .boat with a man at the helm, and! mi the bowsprit a diploma upon' 'which is inscribed "Excelsior." 1 A. 0. Norton, well known to Bre-j vard people as a competent worker' in leather, has established a shoo on .Caldwell street where he is ready to . make and sell. ! ! !
