THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1928 TO THE CAMPS AND THE TOURISTS This issue of The Brevard News is dedicated to the Organized Sum mer Camps operating in Translyvania County. It is the purpose of this number of The Brevard News to express this community's sincere welcome to each and every boy and girl, young man and young woman, councilor and dir ector, in all the camps located within the county. The Brevard News knows how this community feels toward the Camps and the people who come from all sections of the country to attend them. This paper knows, because, the citizens of the county have told it over and over again,' just how; great ly the Camps are appreciated. The Brevard News wante4 the Camp directors and the people who attend the Camps to know about the cordial feeling existing for them in the hearts of the citizens of the com munity. Hence 'this issue' of The Brevard News? this issue of appreciation. The Chamber of Commerce, the Kiwanis Club, the Mayor and Aldermen of the town of Brevard, the County Com missioners, the business and profes sional men and the citizens generally, approved the plan of dedicating this iss.ue of The Brevard News to the Campers and Visitors. If the people to whom these mes ?? sages of good will and appreciation are directed are made happier by these expressions of the community, ' then this paper shall be satisfied with its effort. These expressions of, welcome con tained in this paper are sincere. The big-hearted mountain people of this community mean exactly what they say. In the dead of the winter, when there are no visitors here, the citi zens talk of them, and plan for them, looking ever to those things that will make the visitors happier and more comfortable during the next season tfian ? ever bef.ore.- .. May your visit, here this season be the most -pleasant experience of your life, and may you come again and again, is the sincere wish of The Bre vard News and all the citizens of this community. THOSE WHO HF.i.PFn US TELL THE STORY Look through this issue of The Brevard Nevys, and read the messages of welcome and good will as express ed by individuals, firms and organi zations. and give full credit to those taking advertising space iri making this issue of The ISrevard News pos sible. Through the co-operation and assistance of these advertisers, the paper was enabled io carry Transyl vania's story to a large portion of the United States. You cannot beat a town that pos sesses such citizenship. These loyal and patriotic citizens know the pos sibilities of this section. They know that all the citizens have to do is let the outside know of the many ad vantages here, and the community will Ice .p on growing by leaps and bounds. The re is no soction in the country j more beautiful than our own. There ?s no place that equals this commun ity in what it has to ofi'er any one reeking industrial sites. .There is no other place in the world where indus- ! try can obtain water supply, in such abundance, or as pure and clear, as that tsS be found right here. The United States government owns ihe land upon which the watersheds are located, therefore there is an abso lute guarantee of plenty of water here, clear as crystal, for all time to come. There are "r at Sv agricultural pos sibilities here than can be found in any other mountain -section. In fact, there is every reason for unbounded "hope and optimism in the future of this section. That is why the citizens here have so loyally supported The Hrevard News in giving ail those facts in the public, through this welcome edition of the paper. It h being sent to fine people all over the country. I'lease, therefore, give full credit to the ad vertisers in this issue in the commun ity effort to tbuild this community to i t' i; ,i i <-7.c and importance. i I Hoover and Smith Play Great Game ' 1 i of Golt on U. S. Country Club Course!, Herbert Ho.ovor and Charlie Curtis were paired against Alfred Smith and Joseph Itobinson iii a great four some, played on the course of the United States Country club, amo jholws, before a gallery of some sev ra! millions of intt i\st<-d spectators. )n account of the many hazards on the United States Coufltry Club Golf Course, .the game was most exciting, and the players were ii? the rough and traps most of the time. Never once, lowever, di<l the large following lose I interest in the neck-and-nfick game. I. lierb teed off, and his followers w.'K thrilled when he made a hole I in-one. A1 followed, and turned the ?rowd upside down when he, too, I made a hole-in-one. After the ap j plause had died down, the gallery insisted upon placing Charlie and Joe I in the cup with Herb and Al ,wlthou i their having to make a stroke. I was against all rules, of course, but 1 what are rules between friends and friendly enemies when two leaders have made holes-in-one? Playing for the third hole, Herb had the honors and heaved a mighty stroke. He sliced, however, and his ball bounced from the fairway and fell into a pile of old oil cans and oil barrels. Al followed, and he, too, sliced, sending his ball ka-smack-dab into the rough where it lodged in a pile of old whiskey bottles that had been tamped there by some prohibi tion sigents. . At this stage of the game, Charlie and Joe were tafcen out of the game, and ordered to oaddy for the two leading players. Charlie went afte Herb's ball and after rolling a few oil barrels out of the way, his chief was able to get back on the fairway. Joe went after Al's ball, and after raking around among the broken bot tles, was able to got a lie that en. abled Al to conle out of the rough. The third hole was made, and result ed in a tie. . . . Playing for the fourth hole, Al had the honors, and, laying aside hi* little brown derby and wreathing hu face with smiles, made a mighty ef fort. But he again sliced, and thtf time his ball went into the back yard of a foreigner's home. The foreigner grabbed the ball, and theught it wa. a government passport for members of his family in Southern Europe to enter the United States, ^ J""?? able to understand the English guage very well, it was some time be fore Joe <ould convince the foreign er that it was only a golf ball ne had, and the passports would come later ?providing Al won the g??e ball was finally retrieved, and Al got back on the, fairway. Herb h"d equal ly hard -luck, slicing his ball through a window and into a big factory, a rich factory. The owner of the lac SS ... Zm i. ?."?< ? ?< ???' ness Man, and he claimed everything that came his way. It took Charlie a long tirrte to get the ball away from Mr Big Business Man, .and then suc ceeded only when the buisness man was promised all the golf balls, and everything else he might want, just as soon as the game was finished providing Herb won the game. The balls were finally placed in the cup on the fourth green. Another tie. ' Playing for the fifth hole, Her$> had the honors and sliced once more. This time the ball rolled from the fairway and fell into a field owned bv Mr. Sinclair, which however, h*d been owned by the United St?t(;s Country club before Mr. Sinclair got hold of it. Sinclair didn't want t0 give the ball up to Charlie, but upon learning that the game would be lost by his friend Herb unless they got the ball into play at once, Sin clair permitted Herb to enter upon his property and knock the ball back I to the fairwny. Al, much to the chagrin of his fol I lowers, also sliced. This time he (drove his ball through the window of a Little 'Rod School House. It hap pened that the Junior Order United American Mechanics was engaged in presenting the school with the Holy Bible and an American flag. They liked not the interruption of their program, and Joe failed to quiet them They threw the ball into the vard and pushed Joe after it. By los ing i. nc, Al played from the school . house vard and onto the fairway, i This 11 n looked for trouble gave Herbj a lead of one stroke! when the cup was reached on the fifth greens. Playing for the sixth hdle, Herb had the honors through being in the, lead, one up. He made what was atj first considered a master stroke, but the ball went too high, getting in to the winds blowing from the Sens of Adversity. The ball kept goin>r, and landed in a government building at Washington, in which negro men and white men, nerro w/?n?< ti and white women, were working side by | sWe,' The looks on the faces of the Southern portion of the spectators who* had followed the "bull were so black, upon seeing the whiten and negroes working together, that the room was so darkened .that Herb had to take the ball into the yard, to play, losing one. Al, after seeing the trouble his op ponent had gotten into, was encour aged and in better spirits. He tec-d up and took careful aim. He drove off, and his ball kept going, clear across the brow of a hill and out of .sight. Al and Joe started hotfoot across the hill, followed by an im i mense throng, in search of the ball. | It Had topped the hill and rolled into I the valley below, right in the middle i of the fairway. But the Ku Klux I Klan was holding an open air meet ing in that valley, and upon behold ing. this sight, Al, Joe and the crowd .stopped, surprise^ "and thunder ?struck. Not a sound was to be heard, until the Grand Dragon said, in deep and clear tones: "proceed with your game. We offer no interference un til you start playing for the ninth hole." The game continued, and Al beat Herb, one up, again tying the score. Playing for the seventh hole, Al had the honors. Somewhat nervous because of his encounter with the Klnn, Al played safe, and made a l'oi)g drive, but lent a little to6 much to one side, slicing his ball right into a Catholic cathedral, far removed from the fairway. As Joe didn't know his way about the cathedral, not be ing a Catholic, himself; Al had to go in after the ball. Having entered the ' building, Al had to perform the rites ' and ceyemonies, as all good Catholics ' must do, and he lost so much time crossing his heart, counting his beads kneeling to. the priest.. anci kissing his hand, that he was penalized ? ojte 1 stroke for the time lost. 1 Herb fared badly in his play, but 1 managed to get out. He made the ' worst slice of the game when, mak 1 ing his drive for the seventh hole, ? The ball went all right for a while, t then turned in the wrong direction, ' landing squarely in the middle of a ' farmer's cornfield. The old farmer ' was there, with two friends by the : name of McNary and Haugen, and ' they vetoed Herb's request to be per ' mitted to play from the cornfield. Af ' ter a long wTangle, Herb traded the 1 farmer a plank for the right to play ' from the cornfield. He finally got ' out, and beat A'> one UP" ' Playing for' the eighth hole, Herb had the honors. He made a pretty 1 drive, a long drive, and stayed right ' on the fairway,' Al followed, and *?1|" ed to within a few f^et of Herb s ball. Both players made the greens at the eighth hole in par. Then it became a baltle of putts. One of the gallery, in the pride of /the moment, violated all rules of the game and almost shouted, just as Herb started on his putt, saying: "That's MY man ! just watch him !" Herb and the whole crowd looked around to see who had yelled out loud in this man ne'r. The excited gent was Wm. S. Vare, of Pennsylvania, and the crowd hissed, and Herb trembled, and made an awfully bad putt. Then Al start ed his first putt. Just as he was bend ing low over the ball, pressing put ter hand against knee, the chimes in a cathedral started - playing "My Rosary," and* for the moment Al thought it was the National Anthem, 'and he dropped his club on the ball and came to attention. Herb was still worried about the Vare interruption, and made another bad putt. Al re membered that the National Anthem ,n America is* "The Star Spangled thinner," and quickly recovered from j his very natural mistake of a wo- j nient ago, and placed his ball in the | cup. winning the eighth one up, again | tying the score. At this juncture* darkness descend- j od upon the face of the earth, and storm clouds stood tip-toe on the misty mountain peaks, and the thun- ! der rolled- and the lightning flashed, ij and all the people sought shelter and j a place of safety, and the games was I postponed until the sixth day of next November, when Herb and?Al will play the ninth hole, and finish the greatest game ever played between ? man and man. Many more hazards will be erected, and sand-traps placed about the coveted green, ere the two', mighty foes meet face to face in the final putting of this exciting game. 'j There'll be n<> hole-in-one made in the final contest. !< Headline in Ashcville daily paper ( says: "Rain this year not up to nor mal stage." Goodgoshamighty, man*. t -W- 1- vo' bin -all Sprint' '? i JON'T PAT AMY ' \TTEKTIOW TO THEM )ear Viaitoaa: ? * If it happans that you find your iclf in con variation with a man here who is knocking the town and talk ing uhott hard times, plpase pay no attention to him. There is just ONE maA here guilty of this disloyalty to his community. You, will know him when you poo him. His shoulders are stooped, his lower lip hangs down, his eyes are. watery, his nose is run ning, his collar , is dirty, his face is unshaven, and his tongue is sticking out of his'/nouth. . . If \;ou should meet him, and he begins to tell you thatr "things are powerfully bad, and business is dull, | and money is scarce, and Brevard jisn't what it used to be," and so on and on, pay him no attention. He is just naturally that way, arid can't help it. That's all he's ever done here. He doesn't' even know where the Chamber of Commerce in his o.wn town iH located; he doesn't even know what it means. Some say he thinks it is some kind of a vessel. If he starts talking to you, please just turn around and look at the other fellow coming along the street ? clear eyed, shoulders erect, stepping quickly, a smile on his face. That 1? the typical citizen here? forging ahead. Then raise your eyes to the moun tain peaks about you, and see beau ties in a moment that the old grouch] you first talked to ^ias never seen in j all his life here. Please do not judge Brevard by that one piece ol pessimistic, dyspep tic, remnant and shadow of a man. He is alone in his thoughts. FOUR SOLID MONTHS OF HOOVER-SMITH During the next four months the I people Of the United States will read I but little except such news as re j lates and refers to Hoover and Cur tis, Smith and Robinson. Front pages I I of our big daily papers will emblazon ij these names ten million times be tween now and the November elac ijtion. Three-fourths of the news dur ing this time will be about Hoover and Curtis, Smith and Robinson, ?y Every time Hoover hiccoughB and Smith sneezes, Curtis coughs and Robinson robes, newsboys will yell it at the top of their voices. The help less public will be told all about how Hoover has his hash handed him; every time Smith says something [sane or silly, sad, sarcastic or ser 'ious, screaming headlines will be written about it. Every time Curtis combs his hair, calls his colored man, cranes his neck, cocks his eye, com pliments. his cook, or cuts his corns, long columns of type will be smeared all over the front pages of the paper. When Robinson rises, reads his paper, rings for his refreshments, reaches for required articlss, raises his loot to the rest, rolls his own, or runs about the house, then the faithful scribes will relate, religiously, each and every movement, act and ac tion. If Hollywood folks know their on ions, there'll be no divorces among the actors and actresses during the | next four months, for there wouldn't ibe.a chance of their getting on the j front page, because of the space 'necessary to record every little thing jdone or said by the four mighty horsemen now entering upon a four months' race. 1 ' How aoout that parking sugges-l tion, Mr. Up-town Business Man?

A HEN KEEPS ON SCRATCHING EVEN IF WORMS ARE SCARCE 1 Then Why Should a Merchant Stop Advertising When Business is Dull? ?As you desire and expect the continual all-year-round patronage of the people of your sales community, just that much you should continue, in season and out of season, ? your cordial invitation- ? your advertising? to these custo- dM mors that they do continue to patronize your store and buy your goods. If you use only the Christmas and New Years greetings as the limit of your invitation for patronage and for pre senting your goods to the public, how can you consistent ly kick if the community folks read the merchandise offer ings in the catalogs and give the mail-order houses their patronage throughout the year, and when they do see your invitation for patronage in the home paper along about Christmas time, patronize you at that time with but a dol lar or sq purchase? One is as consistent as the other. Make your invitatiqns for their patronage so cordial, the descriptions of the goods so alluring, the quality of tiie offering so high that a gallon of gasoline spent in reaching your store is an investment to them, not an ex pense. - High sounding words do not alone sell good?. Establish a character for your store? the words of your advertising are truthful, the quality of the goods are dependable? the buying public of your sales territory will have confi dence in what you tell them and will know that you are offering the very best merchandise at the lowest possible price. Do not lose sight of the fact that all men and women love a bargain. And it is also true that a bargain is not al ways gauged by the nice tag. Just as it is harder to get a purchaser for goods from an unknown firm, just that much easier it is to sell merchandise in a store Advertis ing has made popular. The more you advertise your store ihe more popular it will become with the buying public. The more popular your store the more you turn your goods over and the of tener your turn-over, the greater your profits. Profit by the HEN. Worm or no worm, she scratches. Business or no business, ADVERTISE. ARE YOU ONE OF THESE? The men who do a town more harm than good may be classed as follows: First, those who oppose improve ment. Second, those who run it down to strangers. Third those who nev er advertise their business. Fourth, those wo distrust public-spirited men. Fifth, those who Bhow no hos [pitality to any one. Sixth, those who hate to see others make money. Sev enth, those who oppose every move ment that doesn't originate with themselves. Eighth, those who put on long faces when a stranger speaks of locating in their town. Ninth, those who oppose every public enterprise, which does not appear of personal benefit to themselves. CREDIT DUE TO MERCHANTS The remark is often made by visi tors to our town that it is a pros perous thriving one. 'Traveling men especially speak of the amount of business done here. The reasons for theBe remarks are; That the grain and stock buyers pay the highest prices that the markets afford, of ten a good deal better prices than are paid in the neighboring town* To the merchants also is due a share of the credit. They carry large and well selected stocks, bought in large quantities at close figures for cash, and give their customers the advan tages of the cut. RECOMMENDS MR. GASTON Editor Brevard News, I should like to express my appre ciation of the fact that P. H. Gaston has be?n employed as County Agent for our County and will report for duty the last of this week. It haa betn my privilege to know Mr. Gas ton for nine years during which time I have found him to be an upright, energetic, capable, enthusiastic and worthy fellow. The very fact that he has been employed as Agricultural Instj-uctor at one school for seven years speaks much in his behalf. I know he has put across in his com munity outstanding pieces of work, which will remain as a memorial to his untiring efforts. I gladly wel come and introduce Mr. Gaston into our County and am delighted to have him as a co-worker in the field of agriculture. Mr. Gaston, not any other County Agent or person, can put across a progressive program single handed and alone. If we ex pect to profit from the investment of agricultural workers, we must co operate in putting across certain well thought out, definitely planned pro grams of work that will be for the upbuilding of the agricultural indus try in Transylvania County. Very truly yours, J. A. Glazener, Agricultural Instructor | Brevard High School ! . t In this land of plenty and pleasant j surroundings, especially during the ' season of the year when many people f, ire taking their vacations, it is hard to | >elieve that there is a place in the vorld where men, women and little i hildrcn are actually starving to death, irolonging life by eating leaves, bark ind chaff, where little crying children I ire fed clay-soup to stop the craving if their little empty stomachs. But this condition does exist in 'hina, where countless thousands are ufforing from the effects of a real amine. Mothers are watching their iabes waste away*, dying in the moth-' r's embrnce, a skeleton in the moth-j, r's arms by the time the last breath n >aves the; starved body. The following letter was received i 1 his week by Mayor T. W. Whitmire, 11 nd it tells something of the awful ess of the situation. < 1 Dear -Mr. Whitmire: It Millions in China are starving! I Because there is nothing to eat, 1 I'-thers are drowning their babies, ,i it he rs are selling wives and children. !< i villages of ~i00. three to ten fun- \ rals arc reported daily. I eaves, bark and chaff are used as s ?oil. Feebly crying children are ny-soup that helps to stop their " ?aving, but only a lingering death o ?suits. A Hundred Hollars will keep a t hints* vilhere. . 1 1 : ? f"t a month: ' ? Ten Dollars will keep five families; Five Dollars will feed five children. Millions are dying. How much will you save? Yours in the name of humanity, S. Parkea Cadman. Secretary Herbert Hoover, of the Department of Commerce, makes the following statement regarding the de plorable situation: "The reports of the Department of Commerce indicate a very real fam ine in China from which several mil lion people are suffering greatly. The American people have never failed to respond to a call for charity in time of need. t "I wish to commend the effort of the China Famihe Relief ""Fund in its attempt to bring this aid to a most unfortunate people and I trust it will meet with generous support. . "Herbert Hoover." Money sent to the China Famine Relief, 419 4th Avenue, New York City, will be immediately used in the relief of these suffering people, or if you prefer to make a donation, either Mayor Whitmire or the Brevard News will be glad to for\Vard to the proper authorities whatever amount you would like to aiv;. Transylvania county's new farm agent, Mr. Gaston, will arrive in Bre vard during the week, to assume his duties here. In a letter to The News, Julian Glazener, vocational agricul tural instructor of the Brevard High school, and one of the best known authorities on agriculture in the state, gives great praise to Mr. Gas ton, and tells of his ability as a farm demonstrator. Mr. Gaston's coming will bo pleas ing to a large number of farmers who know the importance of a real farm agent, AN EPICUREAN STEW A fastidious man undertook to transmit instructions through the waiter to the cook. He wanted an oys ter stow. These were tiis instructions: "Now, waiter, kindly .tell the cook I don't want the- oysters and milk nerely mixed and heated. I want the liilk carefully boilod first.
