Rosman Section Of Brevard News > H. F. WRIGHT, Manager ? Rosman, N. C. SOME THINGS WE NEED IN ROSMAN We need street lights to light up. our city by night. Wo need the streets of our town . paved or hard-surfaced. We need the sidewalks of our} town paved so that people can get , about when the ground is wet and muddy. We need a mercerizing plant, one such as there is located at Tryon, N. C. Such a plant would bring many more good citizens here and furnish employment for many who are here already. At present there is no employment for \ri en, girla and young boys by whi? ihey can earn money. Such a i ant would bring new life to our little city and a new day would immediately dawn. We need a bank. Such an insti tution would lay a solid, substan tial, progressive and lasting business, foundation for the growth and de-! vfcloijuient of our town. \Y< need $2000 with which to develop properly the campus of our| high school. It needs a stone wall built across the entire front along Highway No. 28, and a steel fence set theroon, and steel gateways and paved walkways leading to the front doors of the buildings. We need to enlarge the Incorpor ate limits of our town, taking in the west side of French Broad river di rectly opposite the town. A street should be immediately opened straight through from the foot of the hill near Mr. L. M. GlazenerV home to Saw-Mill town, thus turning the Pickens and Roaman highway! onto said street unt 1 coming direct?' ly even with the school house street, j turning square to the right, crossing the river and entering main street at the poAtpffice. Cross streets would be developed on said new ad^ dition, adding a. new section to our town, giying ample location both for many more new homes, indus-J trial plants, business houses, etc. This would enhance th? value of this property many fold, bringing a handsome fortune to those who now own the property and would bring new life and vitality generally to the town and community, increasing in a vast way, the population. We need a genuine revival of old time religion among God's people, a revival of church-going and loyalty, of interest in the unsaved, that makes Godrs people soul winners. A mighty turning from sin should take place, repentance and confes sion of sin, with full purpose of heart to live for God, the advance? THE CREED OF TRUE CITIZENSHIP (Wo dipped this Hue word from one of American disting uish^ I citizens and* statesmen and it being so very timely wo give it here. H. F. W.) Let every American, every lover of libferty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear never to violate in the least particular the laws of the country, and never to tolerate their violation by others. .As the pa triots of seventy-six did to the sup port of the Declaration of Inde pendence, so to the support of the Constiution and laws let every American pledge his life, his prop erty, and his sacred honor. ? Let every man remember that to violate law is to trample on the blood of his Father, and to tear the chapter of his own and his children's liberty. Let reverence for th e laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let it be taught in schools in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in primmers, spelling books, and almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpits, proclaim ed in the legislature halls, and en forced in the courts of justice.? Abraham Lincoln. ment of His cause and the- extension of His Kingdom to the ends of the earth. An evangelistic campaign 'should immedately be inaugurated land continued until every lost man and woman, boy and girl in our town should be brought to a. saving know ledge of our Cnriat. i We need a new' and modern house 'of worship fqv .the Baptist, church, {thus enabling the church to better and more efficiently serve the cause I of the Master. This need can be [supplied if our people rally to the I battle-cry of cur Lord, "'CIO FOR WARD." We need an "Evangelistic Club" I organized in our towii that would as sist the pastors in conducting evan gelistic- s. rvices not only in our town but for the '"poor in our County Hot e," the men in jitil, chain-gang camps, to visit the suffering, the un fortunate and discouraged ones within our reach. We need a Telephone system with switch-hoard installed in our town, [connecting the homes of the people and giving us a more closely coor dinated and compact citizenship, thus adding convenience, comfort and genuine satisfaction. We need water works installed together with fire fighting apparatus and fixtures. The danger to which our business houses and residences is exposed is extremely threatening. 1 ROSMAN LOCALS ! I ?? .1 j : ? ' Mr. Tom .Melton, who lias boon sick for the past several months, Is , 1 reported no better, and .he -may be I taken to Ashcville for hospital treatment soon if evidence of speedy improvement does not ap pear. Mr. B. B. White* the efficient' postmaster and congenial business man. is back at his post of duty to the delight of his many friends. Mrs. Kiel Powell, who was severely burned and who has been in the hos pital for the past several weeks for treatment, is back home again to heer and gladden, the hearts of not only . her '.family but of the entire community. .Mrs. O.by. Moore, who has lately suffered much with a sore finger, is reported much improved. Dr. Wilkcrson says the smallpox situation is very much improved and that there are no new eases. \Ve greatly rejoice ut this good news as this epidemic has been quite severe in our community of late. Most of our citizens have been vaccinated, and these have seemed to suffer as much or more, than those who really had the smallpox. Mr. B. R. Parrot and . Mr. Gus Dillard of Six Mile, S. C., were bus iness visitors to our city one day last week. Welcome to these South Carolina friends. Come acain. Mr. Lonny Chapman and family of this community visited at the home of Mr. Chapman's niother-in law last week-end, at Pickens, S. C. At present the Gloucester Lumber mill is shut down, occasioned by having to move some of the tram log-ways in the timber zone. need of a few weddings was brought -to the attention of the news n : n t.> which Mr. Bill Byrd most !?'???? rtilv agrees, stating that he him s-lf ha. suffered much unrest of iate concerning this important mat ter. Rosman boasts of having one of the best, if not ?he best, road patrol men in the state, in the person of Mr. Carr Glazener. He stays right on the job six days in the week, and keeps his scction under good repair winter and summer. He loses no time and uses good judgment in all his plans and efforts. Mr. Willie Moore, the cross-tic agent here, states that he loaded twelve car-loads last week, and has quite a few more for this week. Mr. Hooper, the mill foreman for 1 Gloucester Lumber company, is on an extended visit to Columbia and other important points in South- Car olina this week.

Miss Edna White and Miss ileat riee SisU of Weavervillo College, spent the week-end with home folks here. Accompanying them were Miss Marydell Sluder, Miss Ruth Burros** and Miss Julia Mozell, students of the same institution, and won for themselves many friends while here. Tlu-y too, seemed to enjoy tlu visit very much and spoke very highly of our nice little town. Rev. Mr. Keller, who is yard fore man for Gloucester Lumber com pany and pastor of the Weslyati Methodist church at Brevard, is not only a consecrated Christian and worthy preacher and pastor, but is one of. the most zealous and faithful workers in his church. He seldom misses a , prayer meeting;, Sunday School, committee meeting or any other important matter among his people. I Tc- steles that during last ^ ;ar ho was in worship and service \yith his people every Sunday and Sunday night. This i.? a marvelous record. Blessings. Mr. Grady Galloway says "Man was not made to work." The mule being the only animal that was, it is necessary to harness him and hitch the task behind. In his sermon Sometime ago, speaking of thieves and prowlers, "You need not come around my place, I have a pistol, a shotgun anil a BULL-DOG," exclaimed the Meth odist parson. BASKETBALL NEWS The basketball teams are playing with renewed energy. The girls had a practice game with Davidson River girls last Tuesday afternoon. The Rosman team took the lead I and remained so throughout the en- J tire game. Our teams are playing | well although we do not have the advantage of an indoor court.
