RAILWAY FACILITIES NECES
SARY
The growth of Brevard durinp: the
past six months has been phenomenal
and those conxVrsant with conditions
»H the town and county unhesitatin.cr-
ly express the opinion that Brevard
and Transylvania are now at the be
jrinniiur of a period of constructive
development which can be made to
surpass all past records if the people
♦f Transylvania v^ill irive concerted
support to the promotion of all mea
sures tov ard the enlarjre-
ment of facilities for exploitinp: nat
ural resources of this section.
At present it i;' unanimously con-
ceiit'd that one of the greatest handi
caps to the projrross of this county
its inaccessibility to adjacent trade
tenters and citics. This drawback
rloses the two most feasible avenues
of proj.’rro.'S for Transylvania. This
county has the natural resources re
quired to make a summer resort or
a manufacturinj; ccnter and the first
requisite for reaehinK either j;oal is
adequate facilities for travel and for
tshinpir.y: between Erovrrd and the
hca(!''iuartcr? of the south's coniir.-rce
and population. Indeed it is not too
o'lUch to say that without some such
aoni’.oction with the outside world
Uicre is little hope that the town can
tfver reach any considerable distance
xlonp: the road of improvement which
now scorns open to it.
Dur’n"’ the tourist season which is
just clooi.'it;' hundreds of visitors came
here and this number could easily
be increased io thousands if Brevard
had direct railv.'ay communication
v.ilh the section of the south from
v hicli \ourU.6 ccmc. Most people in
plann.T-," a vacation, unless they have
some personal knovrled/^e of Brevard’s
Miperiority to other resort-tc.vns ne;''.r
Uio Blue Ridse will jro elscwhi.-fe bo-
rausG it ta'nes practically
tiours lonjjcr to reach Brevard from
;,ill southern points than it do?:^ to
reach any other of ihe sixty-four ro-
fort communities on the Asheville
riaieau. If Brevard had a direct
railway line to Greenville, S. C. hun
dreds of people would come to Bre
vard who never thouc:ht of the trip
before, and four weeks of summer
in Brevard invariably means a return
for the visitor who has the averag-e
sjnse of appreciation for the beauties
of nature and the j-venerosity of a
hosp.itaLle pcoiile. If the tourists
ever really get started this way the
n’.atter of hotels and board^n^-houses
v.'iil acl;u::-t itself. And manufacturin;::
enterprises will be the loprical se-
f\uence to adec'unte railway connec
tions. Let’s all pull together for the
electric line to Greenville.
LABOR AND COLLECTIVE BAR
GAINING
atilist group decline to be convinced
by reason, logic or expediency, and
insisted that labor should have no
voice in the discipline of any indus
trial institution.
As we understand the proposition
labor is not concerned in collective
bargaining simply to get higher wages
but in order that it may prevent the
foremen from autocratically deter
mining the conditions under which
labor shall work. For every grievance
that labor has in the shop he asks not
that the foreman be removed, but
that the foreman shall answer before
a committee in which the workman
has an equal voice with the employer
himSelf. Labor wants no outsiders,
no disinterested representatives of
(he public to interfere. It wants an
qqual voice, in the settlement of mis
understandings, in which the com
mittee of the workinj?men shall have
equal power with the representatives
of the employer. Labor does not, as
we believe, propose to take away from
the foremen the power of discipline,
but what it conceives to be his power
of autocratic, unreasonable discipline.
It is perfectly plain that labor is
not going to be content with an au
tocratic system of employinent. The
v/orkinjjmaR differs from the capita
list in that he gives up his liberty for
a certain ViUmber of hours each day.
He does not turn over his dollars. He
turns over his body and his will to
the command of the foreman and the
superintendent. Ke is not concerned
merely in the amount of wages he
may get. He may get very high
wages, but it should be borne in mind
that he is getting those wages in ex
change for his liberty. Capitalism
has grovv-n up not only on security,
but on liberty. Labor has not ex
perienced that liberty v.hich capita
lism has enjoyed. It has worked to
ward a common end, and that com
mon end has been set for it by the
commands of the foreman, superin-
tendants and general managers, ap
pointed by the employers.
We can easily recognize the two
great essentials—credit and discipline
—of the capitalistic system. We
niighb as well recognize, at the same
time, that capital has generally neg-
iccted to furnish to labor that same
security upon which its own life de
pends. The workingman of the nine
teenth ccntury has not had that se
curity- of his job which the capitalist
has had in his investment. In order
to maintain discipline he has too of
ten been thrown about like machinery
or like commodities, without caring
for his future, without caring for his
security. Capitalism must have dis
cipline, but must it have it at the ex-
penre of the security of labor? Let
the conscience of the honest capita
list answer.
The right must finally prevail.
YOUR HEALTH
The National Industrial Conference
meeting in Washington last w’eek at
the call of President Wilson, struck
a snag when it reached the discussion
of the resolution offered by the labor
group recognizing the right of collec
tive bargaining. The resolution set
forth that wage-earners should be
jirivilej? to negotiate v>ith employ
ers throu:_h “representatives of their
own choosing” and was approved by
all the public and labor .n
the committee from which it car.io arri
was opposed by the representatives
of capital.
Proponents of the resolution ‘‘de
fied employers with the challenge
they could not deny nor interfere
tvilh ‘the right of bargaining through
chczen representatives’ ” which has
been acIcnov.dedged by such govern
mental agenciiis as the War Labor
\
Board and the Railroad ‘\dmi» i>tja-

tion, and accepted generally in Great
Britain, Germany and other countries.
This condition was concurred in by
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and other
employers of the nation’s greatest
industrial organizations. But the cap-

All Her Friends Come To See What
Tanlac Did For Mrs. Lynch.
“I wouldn’t take a fortune for the
good Tanlac has done me,” said Mrs.
A. F. Lynch, of 164 Central St. Gales
burg, 111., recently.
“I suffered from stomach trouble
for about five years,” she continued,
“and hadn’t been able to eat a regu
lar meal for several years %ind during
this time I suffered awfully with
cramps, dizzy spells and terrible
throbbing headaches. I was often
troubled with gas on my stomach that
bloated me up so I could hardly
breathe. I also suffered with my kid
neys and was so constipated that my
condition alarmed me at times, for I
just didn’t seem to be able to get any
relief from this trouble. I was never
free from a dull, aching pain across
the small of my back and got so weak
and rundown that I was laid up for
as much as a week at a time.
“Tanlac has done me a wonderfull
amount of good; I eat three meals
a day now and am never troubled with
indigestion, bloating or headaches.
?tly kidneys don’t worry me and I am
not constipated now. My condition
as improved so I can do all my house
work. I am perfectly v/ell in every
way and people who have heard about
my recovery come to see if all they
hear is true and it dont’ take me long
to Convince them of the facts.”
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists

Brevard Citizen Tells of His Ex

You have a right to doubt state

can you doubt Brevard endorsement?
Read it:
J. T. Dean, shoemaker, says: “Some
time ago I had an attack of kidney
trouble. ^My back ached and I felt all
run down. If I would bend over I
could hardly straighten. Idhink that
standing so much is what caused this
complaint. I would get dizzy and
black specks would come before my
eyes and mornings I felt tired and
weak. My kidneys acted too frequent
i
I iy and the secretion were highly col-
i
j orad, full of sediment and pain in
I passage. Hearing of Doan’s Kidney
I Pills, I began taking them and they
soon had my back strong again^ I
gladly recommend Doan’s.”

Itch and other insects—One of our
county teachers very properly and
very promptly called my attention to
an outbreak of itch occurring in a
school. I have also been consulted
as to the presence of lice on the heads
of some scholars in another school.
These things ought not to be son in
this 20th Century oi ours, either con
dition is so objectionable and so easy
to be controlled by proper treatment
and cleanliness of the person, the
body, clothing, the bedding and the
premises. When we consider that
cleanliness is the keystone of physi
cal health and v/ell-being everything
that orcir.otcs it :-:hould be faithfully
carricd out. Itch can be controlled

boiling of body and bed chothes for
a half hour in a chloride of lime so-
by close clipping of the hair and wash-
ig the hair with soap and rubbing
oil of sasafras on the scalp or by the
w^ashing of the head and hair and af

of sasafras. I would say there is no
need to quarantine against either af

must be clean for many reasons. The
