Ivvery voter has enjoyed his say or neg lected his opportunity or duty. Self-propelling rumors and false re|)orts have been .set in motion. Bitter words have been needlessly si>oken. We have a mayor and five aldermen. They nre our officers. It is the duty of the citi zens of the town to supjwrt and en- courajje them and if their record does not prove satisfactory another hearin}^ will take place at the polls, but meanwhile give the town board your symjiathies and the benefit of your coun.sel anil loyal supj>ort in the ho])e of making a better town. The oflicials are good, strong, capable men. Bury your hatchtl and stick to them. PLEA FOR REDUCTION OF LOCAL TAX RATES Colnmbns, Ga., May 2, 11*17. Editor, Brevard News; Will you please give me space in your paper to put in a few lines. I noticed in your last week’s issue a good deal about a ticket for mayor. I wish to make this statement. 1 hope that there can be some way of getting our taxes reduced both town and county as they have got 80 high that they are a heavy bur den on the tax payers. When the town books were audited some time ago, I noticed a statement of those ■who had not paid, and there w’as a lot of people who had not paid for some two or three years. It is fair for all to pay, let it be who it may. That statement showed that some of the best proi>erty owners had not paid for several years and that there had been money borrowed at different times and interest paid. If the taxes had been collected from every body ar;d applied to the town they could have saved that in terest. Under the present tax rate it is hard to make rentes on property pay anything. It will pay the voters to try and get a ticket that will get the taxes down as they are too high tor the size of the town. Politics shimld be left out, get the man. I write this because I feel an interest in Brevurd and have al ways paid my taxes and well know I will have to continue to do so as long as I have any property there but it showed good and well when the gentlemen audited the books for the town and county how things were. Respectfully, Thos. L. Walters. State Normal College, Greensboro, N. C., May 4, l‘.)17. Editor, Brevard News, Brevard, N. C. Dear Sir: On account of the unsettled con dition of national affairs, Yoheeyo, the camp proposed for Rock brook farm, will not open this cominfj s eason. We feel that the country has a right to the concentrated thought and eftorts of all its ]>eople. Will you please make notilication of this fact in your columns? Thanking you for your favor. I am. Very truly yours, Edith V. Hakjiit, Husiness Manager.

SECRETARY LUCAS RETURNS FROM CONFERENCE AND TELLS OF ACTION. DEPARTMENTS TO CO-OPERATE Labor and Tin Can Situation Are Proli- lems Being Given Serious Consid eration by Commission. Raleigh.—More than ever convinced of the absolute necossity of the South's raising its own food and feed- stuffs this year, John Paul Lucas, ex ecutive secretary of the State Food Conservation Commission, has return ed to his office affer attending th*» conference held at Washington at the instance of the Federal Trade Com mission for the consideration of the production, transportation and distri bution of food and feed products. In formation brought out at that con ference will be used not only by the Federal Trade Commission itself, but ■will be passed on to the Department of Agriculture and the Interstate Com merce Commission. Acording to Mr. Lucas all departments and commis sions at Washington are co-operating as never before in securing prompt action in matters especially that have any bearing upon the proper conduct of the war—and the production of foodstuffs is recognized as one of the very important factors in the war sit uation. “One of the country’s greatest handi caps at present is its lack of adequate transportation facilities,” stated Mr. Lucas. “This was strikingly manifest in our conference. It v/as the concen sus of opinion that the present prices of wheat and flour and some other products are due as much to inade quate transportation facilities as to crop shortage. The South vdll not only save itself from hunger and suf fering by raising its own food and feed stuffs this year, but it will to a considerable extent relieve the rail road situation by releasing for other purposes the tens of thousands of cars that have heretofore been necessary to bring us the 1700,000,000 of food and feed products that we have bought from the West. “Other states are taking the same steps we are to meet the situation, w^ith variations of course. Many states have considerable legislative appro priations with which to carry on the work and the best talent everywhere is being utilized in the campaign. Sterenuous work is being done in the great grain states because the nation is expecting from that source to f?ed its armies and navy and the armies and civilian population of its allies. The South and Xew England are ex pected to feed themselves and release for military purposes the surplus that the West will be able to raise. “The problems to be solved, in the unanimous opinion of our conference, relate not only to as largely increased acreage as possible, but also to labor, transportation and the tin can situa tion. which is very serious. All of these matters are being considered and handled by the proper authorities and radical steps, if necessary, will be taken in applying remedies.” Discharge 500 Guardsmen. Raliegh.—Full five hundred men, it is estimated, will have been discharg ed from the National Guard service in North Carolina when the last of the discharges are issued. Practically all of these are on the basis of the pro vision for discharge of men with de pendent families. This represents more than fifteen per cent of the en tire guard. Although this condition was sufTl- cient to warant a discharge, if asked for. while the National Guard was in mobilization quarters at Camp Glenn last summer, the discharge w'as purely optional w^ith the men having depend ents. Now such discnarges are man datory. These discharges leave still further gaps in the personnel of the National Guard, which must be filled by volun teers or drafted men. Greensboro Invitations Out.

The loans will be made on promissory note, without Indorsement. This work was inaugurated in the counLy ^nly tviro v. opks ago, but therr are already more than sixty er«thu8- Uistic members. CRACK OF PARTY WHIP STIRS UP HORNETS NEST The original town ticket went to Asheville and had soniii large cir( u- lars printed and challenged the second ticket for a joint discussion ot the issues in controversy at the court house Monday night. The discussion took a turn from issues and resolved itself into a proIom’ d and quite uncomplimentary ex change of sparkling remarks as to the ingredients it takes to make a pure democrat. The crack of the party whip didn't take so well and there were some remarks of quite a nersonal nature from some of the speakers who didn’t like to be read out of the party because of the exercise of their right with the ballot. The sprinkle of republicans present enjoyed the occasion great ly at the expense of the democratic party. EVER SALIVATED BY CALOMEL? HORRIBLE! Calomel Is Quicksilver and Acts Like Dynamite on Your Liver. Calomel loses you a day! You know what calomel is. It’s mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sicken ing you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into ynur system. When you feel bil'ous, sluggish, consti pated, and all knocked out and believe you need a dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for 50 cents a large bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substi tute for calomel. It is gi .ranteed to ■ start your liver without stirring you up : inside, and can not salivate. Don’t take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day’s work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harm less and doesn’t gripe.—Advertisement.
