Address All Communication* To Tha BrevaVd News:* Foreipt AdveniairiK Repreaentative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION FRIDAY MARCH 3, 1922 THE POWER SITUATION We have had numerous citizens 'phoning and writing the News office in regard to the electric power situ ation wanting us to be the goat, to stir up enmity, to foster personal malicb and hatred. We have even been browbeaten, bullied and insult ed, called cowards and other nice names. We know, the same as everyone else that the power situation is, to be conservative, rotten; but we have been informed from time to time that conditions would soon be for the better, that the company was putting in new electric light poles, was improving their machinery, had bought a new steel race (or some thing similar) and that during the present year would spend thousr of dollars in extensive improvements of their plants. They have pointed out to us that all these things take time and we agree with them. It is not necessary for the News to tell the heavj^ financial loss to it by the frequent collapse of the power plant. Only last week we used Jess Smith’s gasoline engine (for which we feel greatly indebted) to run our paper press. We would have not published otherwise. However, if some of our citizens are so worried about ruining the tourist season or running away from here our visitors because we do not have lights, let them start the proper agitation, let them call a mass meet ing, etc.. We have the power com pany’s word that things will soon be better. It is not always best to try to bully our neighbors, it is far better to reason with them, to show them the advantage of co-operation and urging to better conditions for the community. ' The owners of the present power plant have done much for our com munity, they have recently built one f of the prettiest business blocks in our town and it was built under a great many drawbacks, caused by the per sonal and intensive bitterness of one . of their neighbors, and naturally this sort of thing irritates public-spirited men. The News is not trying to find > excuses for the power company’s ^ov/ners, but is trying to look upon «very side of this question in a fair and impartial manner. But we realize, the same as everyone in our community, that they had better make an effort or the telephone movement will be repeated. Let the present company give Joe Pickel- simer a free hand and we will have a power plant, NEOSHA PLAN DIRTY—FILTHY—STREETS Brevard and Transylvania county made a great step forward when the business men of‘ Brevard organized an Advertising Club according to the ^Ieosha Plan. For several years this plan has worked wonders in similar towns of the middle west, and it has been adopted by several of our neighbor- ng towns, including Hendersonville. Und'er the auspices of the Brevard Club a meeting was called for Mon day .night at which said meeting the plan was to be discussed. The meeting was called to order in the reading room of the Club by W. E. Breese, chairman, who intro duced Mr. Buckner of Asheville and Mr. Lowe of Neosha, Mo., but there were so many present that Mr. Cle ment kindly offered the use of the auditorium and the meeting adjourn ed thereto at which place Mr. Lowe discussed the proposition fully. This plan will be explained at length by the Advertising club and will no doubt meet the hearty appro val of the citizens of the county, as it provides for three necessary fea tures to wit: FIRST: a sales day once each month. SECOND: a bar gain day which is the same as a sales day, and THIRD: community meet ings twice a month. The advertising club was organized with thirty n\embers and Mr. R. Zachary was elected President, Mr. J. W. Smith, Vice-President and Mr. A. E. Hampton, secretary and treas urer. If the program is carried out as explained by Mr. Lowe this will be one of the greatest steps forward Transylvania county has ever taken and will result in great benefit to our people and judging from the per sonnel of the officers and members of the Club, we predict that it will fulfill its mission. We bespeak the hearty support of each good citizen to this most wor thy matter and ask that each and every one give it their hearty sup port. KEEPING A COOL HEAD DURING A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN The citizens of Transylvania Coun ty are again approaching a (General election in which we are to olect our Congressman, some state officers and i. "The News often gets communica- • tion on the dirty streets and we must admit that the court house front and brck Is in a dirty, filthy and un- hcfa'.! ; con'lSion. Great piles of paper and •rubbish are thrown to the winde, where they fly like snow flakes, an oying and destroying the beauty of other peoples' property. Coming ui rom the depot, the first object tha'. he stranger meets is the ^miserable r c edition of the back lots of the stc:: buildings. Surely the 'town can r. L'ord a dump cart to go around to all the residences and col lect the rubl'ish and can enforce ihe ’ordinances against sweeping filth iinto the streets. Why can’t the town of Brevard furnish sanitary garbage cans, like all respectable places have, for the I .nefit of the stores? ’ '< One of our best advertisements would be a clean tc n and not like H is now. The Minuet in < :lonial costumes promises to be a v / attractive fea ture of the Concex o-morrow. VmiPAY MARCIf 1, IMf or business relations in the least as there are not enough of any Party in this County to make a success niong purely partisan lines. We are Republicans or Democrats, or at least we should be, becauso we believe the principals of our rspective Political Party are most condusive to the good of our County and State and Nation, so the primary objecta of our politics is mutual as well as in dividual benefit and prosperity. So therefore before the Political Pot begins to boil, we want to urge on the citizens of our County that we do not forget during the stress and heat of the coming political r:am- paign, that our first and greatest thought should be the sound and safe progress and prosperity of Transyl vania County and its citizens, and.v/c want to urge that our people do not be lead astray, but that they main tain a united front in our forw.onl march towards that goal for which we should all strive, namely. Peace, Pro gress and Prosperity. As a general rule, the candidates of both Parties are good citizens and ex cept for the very small percentage of office holders, the average man does not know which Party is in power,< yet still we have known the friend ships of a life-time to be broken and forever destroyed, during the heat of a Political Campaign, and oft-times wreck and ruin follow. So we hope our little County which has been prospering, will not suffer a temporary, if not a lasting, setback from engaging in a heated and bitter Political Campaign, and let not either Democrat or Republican say or do any thing which would tend to cause a split or division among our small pop ulation, but let us work together as a unit and in harmony. You can laugh and smile your par ticular candidate into office much more easily than you can cuss and knock him into the same, and then there are no after effects of enmity and bad feeling. The people of the County will agree at this time, that the course we have outlined, is by far the best, for they are now calm and undisturbed, and we ask that they who are leaders of each Party, will use their efforts dur ing the next few months to stamp out each and every indication of poison ous partisanship, ruinous rivalry and the everlasting enmity which may ap pear and be fostered by any “pin headed politician.” NOTHING PERSONAL—BUT A GENTLE REMINDER (Mickie says) The News feels inclined to gently remind the gentler sex that the only time the editor ever has a visit from them is to get a little space or so called scrap cardboard, paper, etc. We just love to do this and realize [that it is “more blessed to give than to receive”, but on the other hand I just as a matter of justice, shouldn’t the ladies take a few minutes of their time to mail the editor a few per- jaonals one in a while or any other jbit of newsy news? Gosh, how it ■would help and be appreciated, too. W. E. BREESE DECLINES TO RUN Brevard, N. C., March 1st., 1922. :0 MY FRIENDS: I highly appreciate the compliment )aid nie by my friends in suggesting ly name for Congress from this Dis trict, but I cannot consider the pre position, for several reasons, the irst and foremost being, that I am Ihoroughly satisfied with the fine re cord,made by our Congressman Zeb reaver and have promised him my [upport. The second being that I lannot consider making the race for [ny political office this year, although feol sure of Democratic Victories Nation, State and County. It always gives me pleasure to do [nything in my power for the Nomi nees of the Democratic Party, and I rill gladly do that this year, but I lannot run for office. Again thinking my friends, and ith every good wish for the success Democracy, I am, Respectfully, W. E. BREESE. BANQUET CALLED OFF [The banquet to celebrate the Jones ip victory, which was to be held I’iday at 10 o’clock, has been called on account of the unfavorable bather conditions. It will be held per—Greenville expects to bring )re than a hundred civic boosters. REV. SMITH ON THE JOB iRev. Chas. C. Smith evidently is It going to let the lack of light |n his church meetings. He has ide arrangements with the audi- jrium, which has the Delco syot hold services there when the Ihts are off—somewhat of a live Rev. John Hay was unable to held fvices la=;t Sunday on account of cold, but is out again. DO YOU OWN YOOR UOME? If You Po Not You Should Start a Savings Account with us, on which we will pay four per cent interest, and when you have saved half of the amount necessary to build you a home, we will loan you the other half. Come and let us talk the itiatter over with you now* When a man once owns his own home, it makes him feel like a different citizen. OFFICERS R. R. DEAVER, President THOS. H. SHIPMAN. Active V-Pres.

SHIPMAN Brevard Banking Company N. A. MILLER TO SUCCEED HIMSELF Friends of N. A. Miller have an nounced him as a Democratic candi date for Clerk of the Superior Court to succeed himself. It is useless for the News to en deavor to demonstrate the great pos sibilities and strength of Mr. Miller in drawing votes to the Democratic Party, for liis record, character, abil ity' and persoi^ality are too well known all over the County. CASH IN ADVANCE All political announcements cost exactly $5.00 cash in advance. We have received several by mail without due regard to this fact. Send in the dough. No political advertising matter of any kind will go in this paper this year without cash in advance. We have no pets and don’t care or give a hurrah who you are either. We know how easy it is to collect from a defeated candidate. Miss Jessie King has returned to Brevard after having spent the past winter with friends in Texas. Miss King has accepted a position in the Pisgah Bank. Don’t Waste Time and Money Trying to scrape Carbon from your Automobile Engine. We remove it with Oxygen, the Mod ern Method, quickly and well. The following have tried it and have given us per mission to use their names in recommending it, for they have found: OXYGEN IS THE AFE lURE WIFT [AVING Satisfactory WAY Mrs. J. W. McMinn and son, “Ras- tus”, v/ho were in Summerville, S. C. for the greater part of last mOnth, have returned to Brevard. Mrs. Agnes W. Marchant and son, William Marchant, have gone to Swannannoa, where Mrs. Marchant's, new house is nearing completion, j William, who was the victim of an unfortunate accident while hunting in December last, hopes to be able to return to his work in Jonesville, j S. C. soon. Dr. E. S. English says; “Removing carbon with oxygen is all right. I believe it will soon pay for the work in saving gasoline and oil, besides saving half a day in tearing down and scraping and read justing.” Mr. G. C. Kilpatriek says: “I will recommend the oxygen process, for it worked all right on our motor.” Mr. W. S. Price sayc: “My car runs fine since taking the carbon out with oxygen.” Mr. D. L. English says: “My car runs better than it ever did before. I take all the hills in high.” Mr. A. C. Neill, says: ‘‘I have seen oxygen used a number of years, and for a solid head motor like the Buick and others, an eight or ten hours job is reduced to an hour or less, and better results, too. My car runs better than ev'er before.” Mr. J. H. Pickelsimer says: “The greatest advantage I see in using oxvgen to remove carbon is this: In taking down an engine you have to take out bolts and nuts which were tightened at the factory, and the chances are they will not all be put back as well as they were, so you have gas and oil leaks, and sometimes loose connections. You should advertise this more and let the people know about it.” There are others, but why name any more? Try it once. We guarantee it. 50 Cents Per Cylinder HARRIS MACHINE CO.
