FRIDAY, AUGUST 11. 1922 NUMBER 32 OUR WEEKLY SERMON Tke World’s SaTiowrt ■Illuminators.*’ Second In Series On S«rmon On The Mount By Chas. C. Smith After Jesus had given in the seren beautitudes idea of the New T»st- ent Christian, H^e then, in the suo cieding statement, §ays that this ideal person coiwes in contact with others, and that, in this cont&'ct, he imtdiates an in&iience that is saving and healthful. If the one wiho pro fesses Him does not live up to the ffTofession, thcJi his influence is not salutary. The words that He uses to make this statement are found in Mat. 5:13—If-, and are *s follows: “Ye are the salt of the 'earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, where with shall it fee salted? It is hence forth jrood for nothing, but to bfe cast out, and to be trodden undfr foot of men. Ye are tlJ'e light of tJie world. A citv that is set on a hill can not be Tiid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bush el, but on «i candlestick; and it ^iv- eth light tr. all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” The Christian’s relation to the world as salt and light means that his influence should act as the world’s saviours and its illuminators. There is an old Roman proverb which says, “Sunshine and salt together keep the world sweet.” In the seven bea titudes TKi see wfcat the ^eat Light has brought to the Christian making him what he is. According to these beautitudes, he is poor in spirit, a mourner because he has no merit in which to stand before God, but he is meek—teachable—; ever yearning for righteousness; he is merciful, pure in heart, and a peacemaker, leading souls to Christ. One of this character is embodied holiness, and it is embodied htfiiness whhflt is the light of the world. Reason ig not that light; eventihe Bible is not; “holi ness incarnated in the daily life ia the only manifestation thSi can give the knowledge of the truth.” A native Ch'mese, after having travelled sixtynniles on foot, present ed himself to a Christian emission for baptism. A Tr.issibnary asked ’’■'n whom he had lieard preach th'> ' pel, and his reply was, “Iliave heard no one preach the gospel, but my home is next door to a man who the gospel.” That ig embodied !i( - ness, and embodied holiness is the salt of tfat (scrth; embodied holiness IS the light of the world. I. EMBODIED HOLINESS IS THE SALT OF THE EARTH. It saves. But tu save'' salt must come in contact with that which needs sav ing. Aloofness never saves. More over the service of saving is sacrific ial, for the sitit 'loses Itself in saving. Think of the heroes, martyrs, and those who have voluntarily left high places and hB»'e gone into obscurity for Jesus, and made the supreme sac rifice in His sKrvice, ’but, coming in contact with that which needed salt, saved that fos which they gave them selves. We need not expect to be the world’s saviours unless we are willing to lose ourselves in the effort even as the sat is lost ■when it saves. IL EMBODIED HOLINESS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. “I ■am the light.” “Ye are the light.” Here we have Christ’s plan for spread ing the evangel <of love. The great light touches one and enkindles him, and he another, and so on down the Ions: line. There is a GfreeTc legend “Which says that ■from their palac on Olympus the gods looked down on bar re 1 fieirls, an^ discussed how they iB^ht be made fmitful. At last they sent Ceres down, clothing her with th^ no'ver of touch. She touched the sarti plain and it ii®came « clover field. She touched the bog and it be- canst the spring that widened into a river. She touched the fallen log and it ^vas clothed with moss and snow drops. She touched the thorn bush and it became an olive, and the brier ripened into figs. Soon the gods look ed down and beheld hillsides soft with the flush of grass and clustered food. Oh, wonderous i»ow^Pof the divine touch ,setting forth the power of His followers upon the souls of men. The Christian’s first business is to kindle others with the touch of his lighted torch. Social reform is not his first business, though he should f^ngage in it. Great is the power of the law, and the Christian citizen should exercise his pregrogatives of citizenship and do his best to have enforced. But that is not Ms -york. The Christian’s first ^sinesg is to touch men with the roi^h of divine light. III. WHEN THESE FAIL. When the salt has lost its savor, it is cast out. “When the light that is in you becomes darkness, how great is that darkness.” The great ofl'ense is to break down where you are most need ed and where you entrusted with re sponsibility. Uusavory salt failed just where is was most needed and the meat was spoiled. The lighthouse was "^et for guidance of ships, but on a dark night it did not burn and ves sels were lost. Ilji failed in the pur pose for which it was erected. Kais er Wilhelm, Emperor of Germany, was set to rule the Germans and to elad that wonderful peope to be the word’s servants and the b^^nefactors of the race ia their wonderful genius. NEW STORES GREAT EVENT. Alderman Ranson Sajr* They Show Prosperity On Its Way — Be. lieves In BoMting. , Con^atu'ation to the “News” and I its Progressive Editor in landing two ' new department stores in our hust ling little town. The shopping pub- ^ lic_ who heretofore journeyed to Hen ' dersonville Or Asheville to get their necessary wearing apparel will wel- ' come these tw» new up-to-date de partment stores. It will at least save them an all day trip and travel ing expenses 'as well as Winging into the town thousands of dollars in trade from •ther points in the coun try such as Rosman, Lake Toxaway, etc. It is tn» that some of our present merchants will not look with favor upon these new stores as it will take away some of their trade. However as you know they only have them selves t» blame for the writer of this article as yourself have tried time and a.c^in to get them to carry a com plete Tine of goods and avoid having some over that come in from the out side. I Again I heard the remark that they I were “Jew Stores”, as if that was a great ca^mity to the town. T^e Jew» Treed no defense at either ymirs or my handg as their record will ; prove; however, I want to enlighten j the author of this unjust remark': , If Tie will study the history of t>ie Jew and compare it to that of the GcTitile he wn'find much thought for reflection that will prove decidely re freshing. We regret that Brevard and Transylvania County has so few Jews; otherwise we might bave other I industries in addition to our large iirillion dollar lumber plant, exhaajrt plant, and tanneries that have "a i monthly payroll of many thousands oT dollars in addition to furnishing , the farmeTja market for his raw pro ducts. Suppose we should take the Jewish interest out of the countv, what would we have left? Take it out of the State and what would we ^Yiave left? Take it out of the nation and what would we have left? You woud in all three instances paralylze Tndustry axij create a panic sucli "as , was never known before. I am witTi ^o '^or in the been making for n bi'rcrer an/^ better BreVard and Tran- •sylvania Gaunty and "want to shar<" part the “Knocks” you have lyeen receiving in bringing the “Jew Stor- <^es” to town. I wish we could find I 5-ome more “Jews” who woxild^pen p wholesale grocery house and give th<^ housekeeoers a reduction in the '^r oe of foodstuffs. Is the Gentile rroing to let this opportunity go glimmering also? And are we go ng to always talk tourist town and ^et new industries locate elsewhere on account of our indifference? We meed more payrolls — Let’s fight for “The Land of Waterfalls”. * H. C. HANSON. A. B. RILEY SUPT. OF STATE IN- DIAN NORMAL SCHOOL: TKE PRAYER CORMER THE HOME As the divine life is the life of the association of love,,such is the ideal of the life of the Christian family. How fair a creation of God it is when it is conformed to His will! How noble a sphere of life and ministry, since in it one can initiate the life of God, and reveal Him as He is to men! God is love, and He reveals His love b^ revealing to us His life in The Blessed Trinity, and there is no sphere of life where God’s life of love can be more truly imitated and pos sessed; where His service of love can be more fnlly shared; where union with Him can be more completely realised than in the home. “Seek ever to grasp the thought of its high dignity, und its exceeding opportun ities. Look at home as it is trans figured bv the light of t^e glory of God. Think from the sacrilege of desecrating this consecrated spot SeeTc to rise up through self sacrifice to its great and holy joys. Then will you know how home life has a sacra- rn^'tal character'for us in love. You will sacrifice yourself to God in minis tenpg to those who dwell with you within its walls. God will make every duty a means of grace, every sorrow to become a joy and every ■anxiety will He turn into neace!— GEORGE BODY. A PRAYER: Dear Christ, bless our home.

But the Kaiser chose a different course, and. sought to make them the world’s masters. He lost one of the PTe^t'^st opnortunities that any ruler ever had. He plunged them into the Great War, with the result that the Germans are despised among the na tions. The Kaiser failed in the very place where he was expected to suc ceed. He is cast out of men. Shall you break down a^ the salt v,rhosc busines-5 is to save? Shall you f^ ’il as thp bVht whose business is to ?hine? Shall you not seek, by sac rificial service and close personal con tact, to be indeed the salt of the earth? ^ Shall you not let the light that is in you shine out in the dark r>b.ces an,i lie-ht men walking therein to your Saviour? It is your privi lege to be a saviour; it is your privi- '‘^■'Te to be an illuminator. The secret of so being is embodying in your life the seven characteristics of the seven beautitude'!, and this is embodied holiness; and embodied holiness is the salt of thf* earth: cmbo'^iod holi ness io tho light of iho ’.vorld.

HAMLIN REMINISCENCES Mr. Editor: The State grew rapidly in popula tion. spreading up and down the At lantic coast, covering comparatively soon the low^nds with county divi sions making Clarendon compared with her former self but a small spot, and, so far as Transylvania i^ con cerned, a last name. The more fer- tie soil of the Piedmont hills wa^. dis covered and that, with the love of the chase, led to the penetration of the near-by western frontiers. From Clarendon the western trend of emi gration began. Settlements were made by squads or colonies for pro tection from the Indians. These set tlements reaching far into the fron tiers felt the need of local govern ment; to thi<5 end ^^ew counties were almost continuously formed—large counties with few inhabitants was v:he order in those organizing days. Three .sides of these counties weere definite ly defined, but the western side was supposed to reach the western limits of the State, whether that be the Pa cific Ocean or Mississippi River. It required but 31 years after the formation of Clarendon for the po pulation to reach the Yadkin river, a distance of 125 miles west of the centre^ of the State and more than 250 miles from the starting point. In 1753, Rowan county was form ed. “This county,” says Wheeler, comprehended the most of the wes tern part of the state of North Caro lina and Tennessee.*’ Had a wandering press correspon dent in 17G9 been seated on the rocks (Dunn’s) on the east side of the rivej^. it would bave been current news to have written Benjiman Franklin’s paper, that fine intreped young men under the leadership of Daniel Boone, age 23, departed this county for the “dark and bloody grounds of Kentucky,” dated Teehee- oskee Valley, Rowan county, N. C. j But had be written from the same I place in 1775, he might have stated, at the request of Judge Henderson I Boone, became a member of the j council of the Cherokees,’ by which I they ceded their lands south of the , Kentucky river and expressed the ! hope that this section might apply I to the land of brooks and "wild cherry trees; it would have been dated Sur- ry county, N. C. 1 Surry was erected in 1770; but through ignorance of her firm inher- itence and in the disturbance of po litical affairs, did rio more for her extentions than her predecessors. True, she was a silent witness in f’hristenin" one of her principal riv ers. The commission appointed !n 1772 to locate the divisional line betv.'een North Carolina and South Cnror'-i ran the line from the coast to 'jts western terminal (for the time being) where it intersected the Blue Kidge at a point between the waters of two rivers. Strange the commis sion called them both “Broad.” The one on the east side flowing throu<rh friendly lands into the Atlantic need ed no explanitory prefix. This could not be said of the one on the west side, for at that time it flowed ip+o the claims of the unlovable French; sO, perhaps, with a sneer it was daub ed French Broad,” and has ever been. Surrv, however, seems a little more home-hke. being a little more recent m her c’aims. a little nearer in dis tance and still nearer in some distnnt touches. Thomas L. Clingnan. -.vho tor fourteen years represented this district in the House, then becnm- Senator and finallv commanded a bri- in the War between the States, was a citizen of Surry and represent ed It in the House of Commons 1835. i-rom his sister Iredell, we have some pod bloo^ in the person of the Clay- ton^ Kitchens, Loftis, perhaps others.

Editor Erevard News:— I have been very much interested in an article I read recently in the “Newport Plain Talk”, handed me by Mr. Allen Glenn — It gives an ac count of Stokely Brothers Canning Factory at Newport, Tenn. They can twenty-five tons kraut per day — One thousand bushels beets; two thou sand bushe’s of tomatoes; one thous and bushels of beans; besides other vegetables, and they manufacture their own cans. Now remember Stokely Brothers did not do this at the beginning. They commenced in a small way and developed their business by degrees to their profit and the advantage of the surrounding country. The bulk of the work is done by the women. I feel some such an enterprise would be profitable here if enough of capi tal could be enlisted to put it on a business basis, undertaken by men who propose to make it a business; and not a temporary experiment. No country in the world can raise more: cabbage, beans, beets, tomatoes and potatoes per acre than can be grov;n in Transylvania County, and our people would raise them if they had a market for their vegetables. Be sides we have all the labor necessary to manufacture the products with good roads and trucks, the transpor tation of the raw material to the fac tory v/ould be an ea^sy matter. What a (-ifff!rence it wouM make in the ‘lin- ancisl condition of this countv, if ever:’ farmer had a few acres in bears, beets, cabbage, tomatoes, etc.. to p’ace on the market at this season of ■»h'3 vear, A little affair of thi- l-'nd would not secure the re-.m’t de sired, but if enough capita! could be i’lterested to assure the farmer that he would have a market for his veg etables, the farmers would raise them. Stok€^y Brothers offer a fair price at planting time for all the vegetables brought them and they get them — A factory here would do the same thing. It does seem to me that no better place could be found for ?uch an enterprise than here in BrevarJ. Viewing the situation as I do, I venture to suggest to the Brevard Club that they investigate the subjec- and ascertain if it is practicably and desirable. The investigation will cost btit little. I will further add chat the market for canned goods is un limited. and the products of the fac tory need not be limited to the veget ables I have mentioned — Let poms of our enterprising young men think about it. J. L. BELL. R. R. FISHER APPOINTED SECTIONAL CHAIRMAN The following letter was received by Ralph R. Fisher from Charles J.

GLIDDEN, President Mr, Fisher says plans are now under way to secure an aeral land ing place in rear of the Court House. ASSURED OF THE LYCEUM FOR THIS SEASON: At a meeting of the executive and Lyceum committees of the Better ment Society on Friday, definite plans were laid for providing four en tertainments r- i usual at the high school Auditorium during the coming winter. They will be of the same high class the Lyceum series of previous years, and will probably in clude a magician, a popular concert, an illustrated lecture, and a Home Talent entertainment. The ladies bespeak the hearty support and co operation of the whole town. That of the Institute is already assured. ODRRAIBGH COMMUNICATION RALEIGH, N. C., August 7.— A high state of excitement hag existed here since Friday afternoon when Sheriff Blue of Moore county arriv ed in Raleigh with three negroes, charged with assault on camping tour i ists near Southern Pines the night pre ! vious, which he placed in the State ! prison for safe keeping. Scarcely had the Moore sheriff passed the pri- ■ son “portals” with his prisoners be- , fore several autom.obileg loaded with ^ outraged and agnry citizens appear ed at the gate and inquired if that I official had arrived. Receiving infor- j mation that the accused negroes had } been given into the custody Warden Busbee, the party, after expressing keen disappointment on account of their failure to overtake the sheriff, ^ turned and quietly drove away, i The three negroes ^re charged with one of the most atrocious crimes in the annals of the State. The story related is that Thursday night A. B. ■ Ketchen, his wife and year-old daugh ter, returning to their home in Con necticut, by automobile, from Miami, Florida, pitched their camp a short distance from Southern Pines, At about one o’clock in the morning a pistol shot awakened Mrs, Ketchen who was mortified to find that her husband had been shot through the left breast as he lay asleep on big cot, the bullet having barely missed their baby’s head. Rushing to the side of her husband, Mrs. Ketchen wag seiz-- ed by the three negroes, dragi^oj' away and outraged by two of vhern, I Following their fiendish crime the negroes stripped their victims cf money, jewelry, and Mr, Ket*hen’.'> j pistol and left them on the roadside ' to die. But Mrs; Ketchen managed to drag herself to a neighboi'ing house and gave the alarm. Her husband was taken to Sou:her»i Finer, v her? he received first aid and later carried to a hospital in Carthage. It is be lieved that he has only a bare chance of recovery. Search was immediately institut ed for the three negroes by officials and civilians and were finallv discov ered in a passing freight train at Ab erdeen about seven o’clock Friday morning. On them was found all of the ppperty taken from their vic tims, i^j^cluding a monogramed watch ^ain taken from the wrist of Mrs Ketchen, who later identified them the three who attacked the Ketchen camp. John Lee, age sixteen and the youngest of the three, confessed that he was in the party, but at first den ied participation in the actual crimes. The other two, at the State Prison gave their names as Angus Murphv! 36, and Joseph Thomas, South Caro lina, 20. Both maintained their in nocence, while Lee declared the‘.1 , equally guilty with himself. , ^i^niors that an attein^it to 3to?-~i the State Prison by an angrv me j. after the departure of the pa~ty tb^^ pursued Sheriff Blue, Governor Mor rison ordered two machine guns sta tioned at the entrance and placed a detachment of soldiers to pa^tol the pounds during the night. But no thing happened and the guard was later withdrawn. While Raleigh peo ple generally were in no peaceful frame of mind, they realized that an attempt to take the three vile wrotch- es out of the State Prison would not be wise. The Governor decided not to order a special term of court for the trial of the negroes on account of the fact that the regular term of Moore county superior court will con vene on the 14th., to be presided over by Judge B. F. Long. Two weeks notice IS required in the order for a special term of court anyway. Governor Morrison on Saturday of fered a reward of $400 each for the arrest and conviction of each mem ber of the mob of twenty-five masked men who, on the da.v previous, kid napped and severely iflogged f*ve men employed by the Seabord Air Line Railway who were at work on a dis abled engine two miles north of Southern Pines. None of the men were seriously injured and, after re ceiving medical attention, all return ed to Raleigh. They .are said to be members of the strike-breaking crew imported by the Seaboard to do ser vice in its shops here. Efforts are still being made to ad just the differences between the rail roads and the shop’^ 'n who did not return to work on y 1, because of a fourth cut in wa within a year, although the road -lecutives turned down the proposal o' President Hard ing, which the shopmen head^ voted to <accepi,. The Southern Railway is •trying to effect a separate agreement ^t hits former employees, the con tending parties having held a con ference in Washington with this end in view. Coal rafoning is the order of the Self, clerk to the JNorth Carolina Corporation Com mission is distributor for the State, under the direction of the Federal go vernment. The machinery for obtain ing coal is practically the same 'n force during the late war. Every one is asked to conserve fuel and the time seems at hand when coal may be had only for absolute necessities, that trouble in the coal fields is still unsettled with itte hope of more favorable conditions anywayg noon.
