A:good judge of a county's growth and prosperity is inv.-^he Statements of its banks, 'and we 'ball attention to the statement of th$ Brevaard Bank ing Company published in this issue. From this statement it will be seen that the deposits in this bank have increased a very great amount over deposits at its last statements. ? This particular success of the year is not bne, however, in this county when business is at its best, and so itc speaks remarkably well that our people have been able to put more money in the bank than ever before by many thousands of dollars. W^ believe there is just as much money to be made by good invest ments in Transylvania county- and Western North Carolina, as there is in Florida, and the "condition of our financial institutons wtyl go to prove it ' ' ; -LOCAL ITEMS ?. ?' ?? ? ' * ? .V ? ? v" ' ? ? We call attention to the prticle by- Mr. J. L. Bell in thi3 is^ue of The, News in regard the railroad sit uation "in this county. Mrs. M." A. E.

Il!:hed, as the people in that ststlo:-. need a railroad station with an age:^ to look after the business of th?r grow.ng ronimunity. Mr. Erwin Galloway had the mis fortune to have two bones in ' h: hand broken during the first of the week while at work on the new bin' i ing of the Brevard Banking com pany.

On last Sunday afternoon we ! r?Ve out to take avpicnic supper at Cold Spring a short distance I north of Caesar's Head, and to our ' surprise, we found the smoking em- ' ?hers of three campfires. Another ! Party spreading their supper and evidences of where others had been, i so that if we had not been a little 1 late, we, would have had to have moved on to have found a place to e&i. On those portions of the road where it was dusty there were so many automobiles going and com ing that it was disaagreeable, and some of the old residents along the road told us that there had been a steady stream of cars passing since! early morning. (' When we got to the Head, we found the main highway filled with cars, with barely room to get' through on to the short road lead ing directly to the Head; and when we drove out there, we barely found parking space, and the rocks cover- ' ing the head were covered-" with men, women and children from North and South Carolina. It looked as if there was an all day Ringing or barbecue, or some 'kind of puSjlic sphering;- but, in fact, it was only the ' individuals cars th.^t had happened to iacrive there. f ? We saw many of our friends tfro(m Greenville, peopfle from An derson and some from Atlanta. The new owners of Caesar's Head have ' already commenced their development and are building roads to the Head from the high way and also building an approach from the Head to the 'highway* in the direction of Brevard, so tht). one can drive continuously -without ; having to turn at the Head. Caesar's Head is a point worth visiting even if one had to walk, but with the wonderful advantage of a f.ne highway wherebv the tour- ' ist can drive his automobile abso lutely up to the Head itself and does not have to walk more ' than 60 or 75 feet, and that practically on the level, to see one of the ''most magnificent views in all America, it < is much more enjoyable. | ? The good road slogan in Soutli ' Ccroiina is now '-A Hard-SurfdfceJ Road, from Charleston to Caesar's Head," and to that thought, we add ^ fervent amen. .. ?^Ve also 3aw a distinguished land- , scape gardener from New York, who is laying out the grounds for the summer homes of very promi nent South Carolinians a few miles this sidS of Caesar's Head, and this is but the forerunner of a wonder ful residential development of the Caesar's Head-Buck Forest section, ; and we are glad to see that North Carolina is not flagging be hind South Carolina in, building good roads to Caesar's feead, for the road from. Brevard to the ? South Carolina line is now in iine condition and fthe county road force is straightening put the curves, fitt ing up the hollows and widej>ing the road from the French Broad valley to Conestee Falls, and have>a* pretty a road on this side as anyone can wish for, anil Cae sar's Head is but one of - the splen did sections of our mountain coun try that can and will be developer by the ivjiiding of good highways.
