TRANSYlViUUWENT
AWAY OVERIflE TOP
•Wc stated in these coljamns last
week that Transylvania County would
go ov^r the top with the Victory Lib
erty Loan notwithstanding the fact
that at the time we made the state
ment on Friday tl)if county was sev
eral thousand dollars 1>ehind her
I quota. Our confideilce in the'people
of Transylvania was well placed as
was proved by the way the workers
]>iled up the results of tiieir work in
a few hours on Friday and Saturday.
Reports from every committe in the
^County shjow that the best work
was done toward the end of the
drive.
Ti4 congratulations of the county
are due the volunteer workers for
this loan who gave untiringly of time
and energy to the task of keeping
Transylvania's record for war work
one hundred per cent patriotic. But
the success of this last of the series
of war loans is due first of all, with
out doubt, to the county chairmen of
the campaign for the Fifth War Loanf
Miss Eliza Wallis and G. C. Kilpat
rick. In undertaking to put this loan
oVer they were confronted with dif-
Where is to be found a more favor
ed region than the one in which the
citizens of this town dwell? Nature
has more th&n done her part. Words
grow powerless and trite when set to
the'task of portraying the natural
beauties of Brevard's environment.
And what town its size can boMt of
the civic improvements and municipal
advantages of the county seat of Tran
sylvania? Her schools lare held up as
models throughout the state, her
streets and public buildings would do
credit to a town twice as large. Her
people are a striking combination of
all the accepted qiudities of ideal
citizenship. HoweVer the possession
of all these good qualities, will not
help in ^en a slight proportion of
their value unless their possession
who are living here right now. We
arouses some enthusiasm in the people
must boost the good points of the
town to the exclusion of the kicker.
Brevard is the only town we’ve got.
Let’s boost her. Maybe if we had
boosted more in the past our town
would be even better now that it is.
We live here and we make this town,
ficulties not encountered by the work-^ right up to WE US & Co. Boost
ers in the preceding campaigns. The Brevard the Beautiful,
general feeling that the war is fish
ed added to the fact that a number
of people in the county taxed their
resources to buy bonds of the fourth
issue made it a hard matter to secure
canvassers in the varijous sections
of the county; and increased the
weight of responsibility placed upon
the two county chairmen. 'And by
their efficiency and loyalty Transyl
vania county mountains a record for
patriotic service which cannot be sur
passed.
Mr. Kilpatrick states that bonds
were bought here to the amount of
$69,700. Most of these were taken
in Br\vard township. Lake Toka-
way, where the drive. was managed
by J. W, McNeely, ranked next to,
Brevard. '

In its issue of Saturday Ae Green
ville Piedmont published at Gi^n-
ville, S. C. quotes at length from the
Brevard News of May the 9th in re
gard, to the road improvement now
going on in TralksylVania.
In regard to the JoMfes Gap road
the GreenyiUe;^per sayr:
“If tlra Jones Gap road in Green
ville county is' soon, put in shape by
J. W. Norwood and others who will
attempt to secure Federal aid for the
purpose, Greenville will be on direct
line of a route to Pisgah Mountain,
beautiful spot in the highlands of
North Carolina. Building of this
road from Brevard, N. C. to Pisgah
Mountain^will soon begin according
to the Brevard Nff^ and if the Jones
Gap road*ilk built this summer Green
ville will also have the benefit of it.”
' All of which is true. A good road
benefits the territory adjacent to it
not only but also aids in developing
the resources of a*widespread area.
We hope the people of Gxjeenville
County will see their way clear to
follow without delay the lead of Tran
sylvania in good road building. The
present is the best time to improve
our roads.

Our Eiansrer ia Victory
-, Let’us not spoil the quality of our

purity and honor, and put into effect
nationally thoiie principles which We
advocate internationally.
Up to the present we have been
straibiilg for groat outline effect. We
stood jA need of a world baickground.
ThilB.we have in some measure secur-
ed by our, victory, but it forms the
barest beginning, doomed to become
a menace unless we follow it up by

of justice and rig)iteousness, which

A Prayer
Almighty*«nd Everlasting God. who

vision, wherein our ideals of justice
and purity and honor may be exalte

lectually, socially. We are pledged to
a program of justice and righteous

national salvation. Help us, by
Thy might, and in thy strength, to
carry out this program in meekness
and humility, ever looking to Thee
for guidance and direction that truth

promote Thy glory and the general

Grand Worthy Matron of the Eastern

ji^ist before starting from Savannah

is proper to say at this moment that
we aro pledipng the order of the
Eastern Star to contribute to all work
of this kind.
‘‘The S^vation Army has done so
much good to every community I
feel very confident in pledging tho

“I hope and trust they will all feel'
the importance of acting promply and
generously. Every community owes
a great deal to ^e Salvation Army
and none more than the cities whero
the influence of this work roadies
many cases that are wi:^idrawn from
churches and organized charities.
“The Eastern Star is trusting to
secure the entire co-operation of its
nihety-seven chapters in the state of

provide for<'the. continuance of this
work. So many efforts must be made
to meet the demands of society as

Mrs. McConnell, “the Salvation Army
received recognition that was due it,
in acknowledgement of work they
have done unselfishly in the past and
are continuing at the present moment.
“Members of the Salvation Army
have gone to the front with the boys
and fed them and made doughnuts
for them and shared their dangers
and privations.'* ;g'
