Entered as second class matter,
October 29, 1931, at the Post Office
in Brevard, N. C., under the Act of
March 3, 1879.
THE MARCH
IS ON
With the coming of summer, comes
the tourist who makes Brevard a
happy, business-i-fied place, brings
friends who enjoy the fine climate
and the friendship of Transylvania
county people. AND with the coming
cf summer comes also "the sucker
getters" who try, and in many in
stances do sell, unwary business peo
ple and home-owners, all kinds of
schemes that are purported to be
great advertising schemes.
High pressure salesmanship is
used, and never-say-die methods are
pursued until the prospect either is
overwhelmed by the hoey that is
spread on good and tick, or busy in
order to get rid of the presistent
salesman.
"Oh, such a fine town, such nice,
congenial people, how I enjoy boost
ing Brevard wherever I go," etc, etc,
and the syrup of goodness fairly
beclouds the atmosphere until after
the sale is made, and then good-bye
Brevard cash it's off to some
other town, and the innocent pur
chaser is left holding the wonder
ful?????? scheme.

LEAVING WITH
.4 GOOD TASTE
Courtesies shown to the Americar
Red Cross Life Saving and First
Aid Institute which was in opera
ticn for ten days at Camp Carolint
was not only appreciated by thos<
in charge, but the entire communit}
is being given a good name by th<
more than one hundred people wh<
attended, giving added proof to th(
assertion that a little kindness goe:
a long way.
"People in Brevard give us th<
best cooperation possible," is th<
way Director Eaton put it just be
fore leaving here last week, " anc
not only do the institute directors
and students appreciate this, bul
the national organization as well
it being our duty to make reporti
of community feeling toward us im
mediately after closing each insti
tute."
Director Eaton and Assistant Di
rector Kenning let it be known t<
the world that they like Brevarc
and the way Brevard people receivec
them while here. "It pays to ad
vertise" in the right way, an<
we can all help make Brevard a bet
ter liked p'ace if we will take it up
on ourselves as individuals to shov
a little consideration to our sum
mer visitors.
AMES, AM EX,
BROTHER GRAVES
Setting forth the facts as they ac
tually happened last week in Chape
Hill, Editor Louis Graves, withou
commenting himself in his Chape
Hill Weekly, forcibly brings hom
something that this newspaper ha
been hammering at fov a long time
that the professional "sow pro
ducers" who go up and down th
land, inveighing organizations an
individuals into allowing them "d
all the work, share the expense, an
make a lot of money for the loca
organization" is all the bunk, an>
most generally accompanied wit'
boredom.
The 'professional" who put on
beauty pageant for the America
Legion last week in Chapel Hill, no
cnlj) got a lot of rasing himsiel
from the large audience that ha<
bcc-n ballyhooed into attending, bu
brought down the wrath of the hom'
folk upon the Legion itself for al
lowing such a "carryings-on" in th<
community under sponsorship of th<
worthwhile organization.
Members of the Legion, after th<
show was over, and without solici
tation from the newspaper, emphat
ically asserted that hereafter, il
there was any showing to be done
that it would be put over by local
people entirely ? which is to say
that another community has learned
a lesson via experience.

GIVE THE HORSE
A CHANCE IN TOWN
Since the time has come again
that Old Dobbin is a vital factor w>
the life of the county, suggestion is
made to The Times that there
ought to be water provided for re
1 freshment of the teams that are
' driven into town every day.
I Years ago, sensing the dire need
; of such a place, ladies of the Bet
terment Society took it upon them
i selves to buiM a -watering trough in
front of the court house on Main
street, which for years was used
' extensively by teamsters. Then we
all became "rich" and ths auto and.
.truck gradually displaced the horse
1 drawn vehicle^, until theie were
! Very, very few horses seen in town,
' and the watering trough was un
needed.
i Things are now different, ladies
who were active in having the
trough built say, and there should
be water provided for the horses
that now come many weary miles.
Seems like a pretty sensible sugges
tion, and we be'.ieve the county or
, town, whichever should have the
matter in hand will see about giving
the horses a drink.

Jim Aiken's new barber chair is
certainly a thing of beauty, end may'
also prove to be a joy forever. Jim
says he has a new outfit of razors,
and is. ready now to guarantee an
easy shave.
The weather has been hot for this
climate for more than a week ? rang-;
ing from 63 degrees at night to j
90 during the day? on Tuesday, !
June 29, reaching 93. This only lack-!
ed one degree of being as hot as we
have ever seen it in Western North:
Carolina in morn than 20 years.
May boarders who have hereto
fore passed their summers in the
mountains write that $16 is harder
to got this year than $20 was last,
and they are negotiating for board

, administration in its true light.

j on our streets this week.
! Hon. J. S. Adams of Asheville
i honored the News with a pleasant

There is one of the corporation
] convicts in jail here who refuses to
, either pay the fine imposed by the
; mayor or to work it out on the
{ streets. He has had a bread and
water diet for three days, and will
| continue the same bill of fare for
'twe've days longer unless he mani
fests a disposition to work for some
thing better.
The postofffice in Brevard changed
I hands on Tuesday and Dr. G. W.
j Young is the full fledged postmaster
.general of Brevard. His bond of
j $5,000 was made without difficulty,
I and has on it the names of men who
j always refuse t o go on the bond of
i county and other officials, and Mr.
| Young is justly proud of his back
'? ors. So far as we are able to learn
I Mr. Young has the confidence of
I Brevard people, and takes charge of
'? the postoffice with as little personal
j opposition as any man who ever held
i the p'ace. Should he prcve a faithful
and efficient public servant, as we
' believe he will, the notoriety thus
| obtained will be a lasting recommen
: dation for other positions of honor
and profit.

j A very enjoyable musical was giv
! en by Mrs. W. P. Whitmire on Fri
j day evening last, in honor of Miss

I Fayetteville, Ga. Delightful music
I charmingly rendered by Misses Daisy
! Mi lcr, Dcdie Napier, Myrtle Hunt
! and Hattie Orr on piano, and Messrs
Smith and Orr on violin, was en
' joyed by all. A recitation by Miss
i Norwood was a feature of the event,
and delicious ice cream and cake
furnished a fitting final of the en
tertainment. Judge Norwood was an
, honored guest, and flattered the com
pany with the remark that "He never
saw as many pretty girls as we 'have
in Brevard."
j Meredith Alexander Coopc-r, th*
retiring Brevard postmaster, sur
rendered the office and keys to his
| successor Monday night, end sought
the quiet and ease of private life.
, Henceforth the alarm clock will re
main unwound and Mr. Cooper will
QUjfit'y stay in bed until the shrill
i voice of his boarding house ke-aper
/warns him that breakfast awaits his

: efficient postmaster and in whatever
station he may cast his lot he will
1 havs the best wises of a host of
I warm friends.
. i The sale of the II & B railroad
in Hendersonville on Monday estab
lishes beyond cavil that it has gor.<
out from the control of the contract
ing company which built it, and il
confirmed, means a road run in the
interest of Transylvania people. Ev
ery requirement of the order of sale
was strictly adhered to, and there is
no doubt that the sale will be con
i firmed at once. The road was bought
! in for the creditors by their trustee^
' ? W. A. Gash, Geo. A. Shuford and
! T. J. Rickman ? the only opposing bid
! being by W. A. Smith. W. A
Shuford will remain receiver of tli<?

If taxation is destined to bring
prosperity .Transylvania people

to pay this fall; with $3.75 on each

the price of everything the farmer
buys; with a splendid opportunity
to vote a school tax on ourselves, and
imprisonment as a reward for fail
