Merchants and purchasers alike were moaning and groaning Satur day and the first of the week on ac count of the statewide sales tax which had its birthday here Satur day. Some few sales were reported lost by Brevard merchants due to the customer refusing to pay the sales tax, whi'e others report innumerable irate people. Commissioner Maxwell, Governor Ehringhaus and state officials in general must have taken a lot of "long distance cussings," judging from local attitude, which, however, does not help matters. Taxes, whether sales tax, general or select, ad valorem or poll tax, are always a burden to pay, whether they are small or large. Maybe we could get along without a sales tax, and maybe it is "inevitable," as the last session of the General Assemb y put it but it's here and is more than apt to stay for the next two years whether it suits or no. The following is given as a pretty good idea for collection of the tax, as a matter of information: Merchants whose sales of articles at 17 cents or less constitute more than 5 per cent of their total gross sales shall add no tax to the price of an article sold at 13 cents or less; 1 cent on articles sold at 14 to 33 cents; 2 cents on articles sold at 34 to 66 cents 3 cents on articles sold at 67 cents to $1. On articles sold at more than $1 the 3 percent rate shall be applied, with the merchant having advantage of the fraction where the tax does not come to even cents. At 3 per cent, the tax on an article sel.ing for $1.25 would be 3 3-4 cents ; the merchant is to add 4 cents as the tax. At 3 per cent, the tax on an article selling for $1.50 would be 4 1-2Ncer.ts: the merchant is to add 5 cents as a tax. Merchants are divided into classes, according to the proportion that the sales cn small articles bears tc gross sales. One bracket plan applies to one class, another bracket p'an to another class. For example, the merchant who sells no articles foi less than 17 cents applies the straight 3 per cent rate, fractions ol cents to be determined in favor of the major fraction. One cent is ad ded as a tax on articles selling at 17 to 49 cents; on articles selling at 60 to 83 cents the addition is 2 cents; on articles se ling at 89 cents to $1. 16 the addition is 3 cents. SAD MEMjORIES ON FIRST OF MONTH. It's really sad to look down th? columns of a ledger on the first of a month and find that Mr. So-and-So has again gone by for a month and failed to pay that bill he promised to square up weeks and weeks ago. Some of these bills are unpaid by reason of the fact that the debtor has been in hard luck and has not the wherewithall to pay ? and in such cafes it's just two fellows out of luck ? the man who would pay if he could and the man who needs the money badly bat hates to crowd the man who can't. Then thsre are those bills that are allowed to be made against one's bet ter judgment, which are an eyesore. We have one in particular in mind at this time: A fellow, good fellow, too, ordinarily, came around to us before mayor's election time this spring and made a political bill that in all decency ithould never have been put on the bocks. But he seemed so pepped up and enthused and prom ised so faithfully to pay on the fol lowing 15th that better judgment was put aside, and we're still hold ing the sack. N'ev/spapers with good common horse sense, ami not too much of that, have gumption enough to dis allow such bills to clutter up day book and ledger sheets, and- should get stung when, in a moment of weakness, they do get by. Not much of a bill, to be sure, but it's a pain in the neck just the same. Guess we will .lose out a little more and have the gent's picture put in the paper, so that after we're dead and gone, files of the paper will be mute evi dence that such a man is a bad ac count; especially when it comes to political bill. Halifax County clover growers re port having 35,000 pounds of excel lent crimson clover seed for sale.

One could hardly help feeling sorry for th,e poor loser who wrote a letter published in last Sunday's AsheviUe Citizen-Times. The writer set out in hi3 letter a number of "whys" directed at the educational commission of the Western North Carolina conference oi the Methodist church and Bishop Mouzon, head of the commission, in a veiled way taking a poke at the body se'ected to locate the merged junior college which will come to Brevard. Poor fellow, he surely felt blue about the matter, and at the same time a little rankled. We're sure that he did not really feel the way his unca.led-for letter implied, and take the liberty to offer the apology which he should make when he feels better. PROHIBITION FIGHT WARMING UP SOME. News from different sections of the state is to the effect that the re peal fight is "warming up" and that both sides will soon be taking the stump, one for turning' whiskey loose like city water, and the other fcr retention of the present setup. Arguments, judging from pre liminary statements of the wets, wi I be for the most part, ineffectiveness of the eighteenth amendment, and further, "persona! liberty," what ever that is.... but it is bandied around Brevard something like this: If a man wants a drink of "good" liquor, he should have that privi lege, and it's nobody's business but his own, that the government has no right to dictate to the citizenry what it shall eat and drink: that the gov ernment is nothing more than the people as a whole and that most of the folk want whiskey, or at least they don't want what is now called prohibition that doesn't prohibit any thing except a fellow having a decent tax rate. Drys can, however, cite plenty of reasons for retention of the eigh- , teenth amendment, and counter 1 chief argument of the wets with statements that one would not be allowed to breed rattlesnakes and turn them loose in great hordes in a community, and that when whiskey is given the stamp of approval as is advocated by the repealists, no less catastrophe will be upon us. If there were actual need for whiskey, drys are wont to argue, then it would be a different question, or if the peo ple most vitally affected ? women and children ? would not receive the brunt of the matter, then it would not be so bad. When one puts the whole matter out e'early in front and looks at it from all angles it is a big question. To say that prohibition as set out in the eighteenth amendment has been a success is only fooling one's self. Prohibition has not prohibited. Why, we are unable to say, other than this: Many a man who voted dry 13 years ago has failed to stick , to his guns; he has taken innumer | able drinks himself and ha6 winked at [ the other fellow who did likewise; al lowed whiskey to be so'd under his very nose and took no steps to see that the law was enforced. He has failed to do his bit in seeing to it that men appointed on the pro hibition forces were fit to hold such positions, and in many in stances has taken a drink or sever al of them with men who were swovn to uphold the law and do all in their power to see that the pro hibition law prohibited. It is the fault of the supposedly dvys that the eighteenth amendment has been ! a failure. The man who has wanted a drink of whiskey has had it ? that is, he, h'as had something that was suppos ed to be whiskey, and he lias had it; regularly. He knows that there is no such thing as prohibition in the real sense of the word and feels that if he has to pay for whiskey to drink he should at least be allowed to : have good whiskey.

"Love is as the rising sun in the , morning, _ ? : Joy as the sun in its zenith at noon. and . . Peace, the calm quiet setting or the sun at even. . . . j The third Fruit of the Spirit ia Peace." "That Peace of God which pass-' eth all understanding, keeping your hearts and minds." It is that inner peace, which, in spite of outward troubles, is the tranquility of order, bringing a blessed calm to bear on the steady working of life. Just as we are told that however ruffled and agitated the sea by storms, a few fathoms under the surface all is calm.". "Peace is the sense of Oneness with the God of Peace, through the Prince of Peace, by the spirit 01 Peace. It is the attitude of the soul in response "like a chi d asleep in itn mother's arms," resting in the bosom, of God. It is a peace that conies" from the consciousness of dutiful service towards Him and when sei'-, vice has failed, reconciliation to j Him. It is yours by prayer, and meditatioM, by reliance and depend-: once on Him, by the knowledge of I your Lord Jesus Christ; by whom," through the Holy Spirit you have ac cess to the Father. But like Love there is another side to the shield of Peace. There is a peace with man as well as a peace with Goo. In-, deed, the two can hardly, if at all, exist apart. And ff you cannot be peace-) makers you certain y need not bo ( peace-breakers. Think what harm stj word may do, causing variance and strife. Think of the flames which' the tongue can kindle. Try an avoid all gossip and title-tattle. Put a constant and firm restraint on yourselves, avoiding talking about other people, which generally means talking of their faults rather than of their virtues. Try to see good in' all, and be silent as to the evil which vou may notice in them. Theie is an old story of how a crowd of people gathered round a poor dead dog, and, of course after the manner of Eastern people, to whom the dog was an unclean ani mal, they reviled the poor dead beast, when our Lord approached and having listened to what they had 'to say about its defects, just re I plied ' "Yes. but see what beautiful , ; teeth he has." And so with other, i people, try to see the good and no.] 'the bad in others, and remember | cur Lord's warning about the mote 'and the beam, and with the above I legend think that we too may have ' faultv and decayed teeth of one kind or another, and so refrain | from criticising, judging and con 1 demning others. I conclude with the words of our Lord, and St. James: "Have sa t in yourselves and have peace with one anotheer." The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good traits, and the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. LONG SUFFERING: The power by which the Holy Spirit enables you to suffer on without being irri tated, fretted, and being put out by i the "pin pricks" and stabs by which! youi will be wounded as) life goes on First, of all there will come those of bodily suffering, weariness, weak ness, pain, in one form m- another.

So by the> Holy Spirit's grace, there is no cros? | that you will have to bear, nu cross to which you will be nailet fast but that like your Lord anc Savior you may suffer in patiem pilence. Though young, strong, ami healthy now, the time must come for the fiery trial where as the gold is tried with fire, the character wil be tried by pain. The spirit of Long Suffering will be your great need. The sick have been beautifully called "the living crucifixion of tht i church." It is only by the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, you can hang on your cross like your Lord, with-j out a murmur or complaint. So it is in all other tria's. In sor- j row and in temptation, the trial oi'j your faith must be allowed by His| power and consolation to work pa- j tknee, and- patience to have hei i perfect work. Patience, oh how we; all need it! How difficult it is to ^ acquire and cultivate this fruit of, the spirit. Difficult but not impos.j sible! God, the Holy Ghost, will be, your strength if you seek His aid( in prayer. . Then there comes another kind ! of Long-Suffering. You live in days, of restless hurry scurry, in days, marked by feverish desire of prog-l rcss and love of excitement and pleasure. "God's Calm" is forgot ten. It has been well said, "You' can huiry man but you cannot hur-. ry God. ISe is patient because He is, eternal." Yes, you want to borrow] something of His Majestic Patience.; Of course you must be moving on mj the race of life, but let the going' forward be accompanied sometimes, by the standing still. You need not be "slothful in busi-i ness' because you are fervent in] spirit ? serving the Lord nor in serving the Lord with fervency of spirit, neglect your life's business, whatever it may be. The Seraphim fly, but at the. same time cover tneir faces, and cover their feet. Long Suffering! It is a great test of character, in which we see movement without hurry, progress without haste, all quiet, calm and peaceful, the subduing element, and sustaining powers of energy, im pulse and activity. There is too, the Long-Suffering you must try and practice with your fellowmen and women. How diffi cult it is to be patient with them! "I've no patience with him or her, often will rise from your lips. "I cannot stand" so we say, their foibles, their fancies or their trcu b>some ways. They are so tire [ some and troublesome, they irritate me so, and so on. And yet think for a moment? May you not be the same to them as they to you? Is it not the old question of the mote and j the beam? Granted that people arc j annoying, try and meet them with ithe calm sweet reasonablenr/ rf your Lord who is never recorded but once to have been "angry" ana only then because He was 'grieved at the hardness of their hearts. And so St. Paul couples forbearance with long suffering, which _ spell' the motto "Bear and Forbear. ' A PRAYER i Dear Lord, grant me Thy Peace. I do not ask for earthly peace which removes trouble or dulls the senses, but f?r that ho'y calm which never fails by day or by night, in joy ot in sorrow, but ever lifts the soul to rest upon Thee.
