AS BAD HERE, BROTHER,
AS IT CAN BE ELSEWHERE.
The Asheville Citizen expressei
hope that the bill repealing the ab
sentee voting law in Buncombe coun
ty will be passed. The Citizen inti
mates that abuse of this hellish lav
is marked in Buncombe count;
than in any other county, hence tha
p;.: - expressed hope that the lav
will be repealed, and the county n>
longer suffer because of the sfheminj
thievery perpetrated through th
absentee voters law.
1 no worse in Buncombe than i
is Transylvania, dear boy. Bur
con.'V may have MORE electio
crook than can be found here, bu
ou manipulators of the absente
voti ;s law have proven that they ca
give the Buncombe Crook3 aces an
duces, nnd let the jokers run wilt
and beat Buncombe county oi
in (In !'. -e art of casting illegal vote
thiough manipulation of this nefai
ious and rogue-hatching thing call?
the absentee voters law.
The Citizen, in speaking of tl
matter in Buncombe county, has tl
following to say about this law:
Dissatisfaction with the absent
ballot law is not confined to Ashevil
or Buncombe County though unque
tionably, it is more acute here th?
in most other places. The State i
a whole, however, has been unwilllr
to sco to the length of repealing tl
law and in these circumstances tl
action of the House Committee <
Election in voting unanimously to r
port favorably the Howell-Reed b
abolishing absentee voting in loc
elections in Buncombe County is
gratifying victory.
It is earnestly to be hoped that t'
House Committee's favorable repc
forecasts the passage of this bill i
the General Assembly. Members
the committee undoubtedly were co
vinced that public confidence in elt
tions can not be restored in tl
county as long as absentee voting
allowed. The demand for the lav
repeal has baen overwhelming
Asheville and in Buncombe Counl
no opposition to repeal has been pu
licly voiced and support of the repe
propo.-al is general and impressive.
The pending bill has the unai
mous endorsement of the Buncom
delegation in the General Assembl
Its enactment is of the very greate
importance to this city and count
The public here is now so utterly di
trustful of the absentee ballot th
nothing short of repeal will satis,
those who know that this law has be<
grossly and notriously abused in tl
past and who fear that it will co
tinue to be so abused in the futur
no matter how it might be modified
iY?ir YORK FRIENDS
MAKE SPLENDID GIFT.
Or. Thursday, January 29th, Mr
Jospli S. Silversteen received checl
from Mr. D. Dworetzky, Sr., Mr. J
P. Dworetzky, Mr. Albert Schain, an
Mr. M. Dworetzky, Jr., of New Yor
City, t'or the sura of one hundred do
Jars. This amount was sen. to aid th
needy in our county, and i\ part of :
has already brought comfort to set
era! families.
In spite of the many calls and d<
nianrls, made at this time, upon a'
business men in our cities, the me
contributing the above mentioned sur
are always interested in this sectio:
and wish to help in what is beini
done for the care of those in. need i:
Transylvania County.
This community is tremendousl;
proud of the fine interest thus mani
fested by our New York friends, am
we express Brevard's profound grati
tudc to them for this excellent dona
tion to the relief of those in need.
Welcome to the field, Brothe:
Johnson. The citizens of Macoi
county ought to be highly please<
with your efforts. The Franklii
Press, always an interesting news
paper, is now, under your manage
ment, one of the very best county pa
per? published anywhere. Good luci
to you, and may your citizenship lean
the value of such a fine publication as
you are giving Macoa county.
You can tell by the expression on
the men and women those who have
been dividing their food and raiment
with the needy of the community.
There is a light in the countenance of
the man ov woman who helps those
in distress which plainly says: "I am
doing my bit." There is a sour look on
the face of man who refuses or fail*
to help, a look that is a dead-give
away of the miserly spirit. You see
ho'.! groups. *.
AND STILL THE COTTON
MILL WORKERS PAY
THE PENALTY .
i Another chapter has been written
in the lives of the cotton mill workers
of the South, and ended, as usual,
with these workers of ours in want,
suffering, homeless, helpless and hope
less.
' The scene of the last futile, foolish
struggle was laid at Danville, Va.,
' where the cotton mill workers had
been on strike for the past four
I months, and surrender was made one
I day last week.
1 Now it is that the labor officials in
charge of the strike have gone to
other fields, with but few exceptions,
and are living much as they have
been accustomed to live.
The mill officials and mill owners
J are likewise living their usual lives,
" enjoying life much as they have beer
" accustomed to enjoy life.
But the cotton mill workers whe
' went on strike are the ones whose
' lives have been changed. These work
' ers are paying for this struggle, pay
' ing for it in hunger, want, privatior
0 and physical illness. Now they an
5 jobless, homeless, hungry, many oi
c them victims of "flu" and other form:
of illness made more acute because ol
* their undernourished condition.
i- xhe result of this contest was in
n evitable. Any one who is familia
t w,th conditions in the textile industry
e knew a year ago that thi3 sad endint
n must come to any effort made by th
d cotton mill, workers to force an issu
at this time, especially when that ef
it was to be directed as outlined a
? the beginning of the campaign whic!
r- ,-nded so disastrously last week. Thi
d Writer warned President Green, o
the American Federation of Laboi
\e that his announced efforts would rt
16 suit in collosal failure, and that th
cotton mill workers would bear th
brunt of battle and suffer the awfv
consequences of such a foolish effor
at But President Green did not so se
in the situation. He rode trains throug
as the South, stopped at the larger cei
ters, met and mixed and mingled wit
hi local labor officials in various union
and delivered most excellent addressi
e- bearing upon the wonderful philosi
phy of the American Labor Mov
3a ment. He viewed the situatic
through the window of a Pullma
he car and looked out upon the scei
'ft from the windows in the best room ;
bj. the best hotel in whatever city <
center he stopped. He did not ri<
along the highways in a Ford car,'
witness the innumerabo men ar
j* women walking and stalking the higl
in ways, thumbing rides and telling tal?
?,y, of their fruitless search for work i
^ mill town after mill town. Nor d.
8 he stop and spend the night in tl
,i_ home of a cotton mill worker, the or
be place where he might have informs
ty. himself as to the real thought <
these people.
g* With countless thousands of texti.
at workers out of jobs, and other mil.
fy closing down every week, any or.
in should have known that nothin
n! could be gained in calling a strike ut
e, der such conditions. That is why
? plea was made a year ago to M:
Green, urging him to postpone hi
organization work in the South unt
better conditions prevailed. Added t
^ the stagnation in the textile industr
53 was a like condition existing in prac
** tically all other lines. This lef
ld workers in other crafts unable t
k contribute aa liberally as they woul
l" have done, had they themselves bee.
!? regularly employed.
It was such a foolish thing to dc
this organization campaign resultini
'in a strike that was destined to fai
oven before it started. W e begge<
" Mr. Green to postpone his activitie:
n until a more favorable time. We havi
" witnessed the intense suffering amonj
" the mill workers resulting from thes<
8 efforts, and wanted so much to aver
0 I these very conditions now existing ai
' Danville,
y President Green insisted upon his
" course. He now must assume full re
sponsibility ""for the deplorable con
ditions.

UP TO THE COMMUNITY I
-4S TO COTTON MILL.
| Next Saturday will tell the tale as '
to the re-opening of the cotton milL
People interested in this great and
important question would do well to |
Bee either Mayor Whitmire, 0. L. Er
win, H. A. Plummer, F. E. B. Jen
kins. J. H. Pickelsimer, or some one
else who has been working on the
proposition. i
The re-opening of the Sapphire cot
ton mill would do much for this com
munity just now. There are certain
conditions to be met, if we are to
have the industry going.
It is worth a whole lot to this
community to have Mr. B. E. Geer be
come associated in - a business way
with Brevard.
It is worth more than any one man
can tell to have the plant in opera
, tion.
, If it is obtained and re-opened,
, there are some things that must be
i done, and these things must be done
. at once.
WHAT ABOUT GETTING

Folks, this is the first week in Feb
i ruary, and nothing has been done
[? about getting summer people to Bre
vard.
There are no booklets to be sent

effort at all being made to invite thi
' people to Brevard.
g There are many vacant houses
rooms and apartments in this towr
(. that could be filled this summer, il

come here.
f There are many boarding houses ii

i A DOCTOR SPEAKS HIS MIND
. I ON ALCOHOL AS A MEDICINE
I
6 Dr. Howard A. Xelley, Emeritus
? Professor of Johns Hopkins Univer
> sity, is not of the school that contends
for the use of alcohol in the treatment
of disease. In fact, he comes out
' very itrongly and says that alcohol is
;not a medicine, has no place in medi
'cal practice, creates only an illusion
! of vigor that does not exist, and
? there is no single disease in the world
;of which alcohol is the cure.
"Alcohol," he says, "is a habit
.forming drug. Its prescription to a
person as a tonic when he is weak
1 ened by disease is developing the al
cohol habit tfa him. If it were pos
, sible to maw' the army of drunkards
in thiB country that., has been re
cruited through these liqour pre
scriptions and march it, to the next
convention of the American Medical
Association, this queetioh would be
settled forever. If it were possible to
pila up the dead from automobile ac
cidents that have resulted fjom a less
ened efficiency of drivers who had
been drinking prescription whiskey,
or Who had formed the liquor habit
'through having it prescribed by doc
tors. the nation would be appalled,
i "That past generation' that so
freely prescribed whiskey had anoth
er practice ? that of bleeding tiie pa
tient ? which has now been aband
oned. The reverse operation ? blood
transfusion ? has taken its place. That
generation put whiskey into the pa
tient, and took blood out of him.
Modern practice, reversing the pro
cess, takes the whiskey out of him and
puts blood into him."

For action, there is nothing that
can take the place of the advertising
columns of The News.
THE FALLING LEAVES
There seems to me, to be something
in the dead and fallen leaves of Au
tumn and Winter to remind me of the
human life.
As the leaves come drifting down
leaving the trees so cold and bare,
they awaken memories to me of the
dead yesterdays. They recall to me
the broken promises ar.d neglected
friends. And always of the lost op
portunities to do the right. The wind
blows them down, and drifts them in
great piles, and they seem to bring
fresh memories of years past and
gone ? years that bring before us, old
loves, old friends and old places
something so very sweet, yet sad, sad
as tears.
| These seasons, Fall and Winter,
when the fallen withered leaves are
whispering to us of our neglect to
the unfortunate throng who are out
of work, some of these who are very
near and dear to us, and they are
cold and worse still, if possible, they
are hungry, too.
I Perhaps, we who have a warm
house and a place we can call our own
with warm clothes and plenty to eat,
can't fully realize how sad and des
perate the situation is. But if we
will only take the time and thought,
and close our eyes just a moment in
imagination, we can see a long, long
line of men and women out of work.
And many of these are looking for
work to buy food to keep life in the
ones who are near and dear to them.
Nothing can be more pitiful than lit
tle innocent children hungry and
cold. Can we be happy if we do not
do our part, and are we going to sit
idly by and wait for "John to do it."
1 Are we going to close our eyes, and
' shut our hands and hearts againsl
, these unfortunate people? Jesus says
"Inasmuch as ye do it unto one of th<
least of these my brethren, ye do it
J unto me."
Will the dead and fallen leaves, ai
> they drift against our windows, b<
the dead ghosts of us all? Will the)
, tell a sad,, sad story as they whir
away into the darkness of a hear
' that was full of selfishness and neg
s lect?
? Let's all make this season of fallinf
? leaves a season of high resolves. Thi
j time when we resolve to do our par
of this world's work, be it small o
great. May it be a season when w
?, will remember the weaker ones, am
z divide what we can with the needj
And let us all put our trust in the On
who maketh the season of "The Fall
ing Leaves. "

e 229 EGGS PER HEN
" A state record has been made in Ir
diana by Harvey Mitchell, a farmer o
?? Owen County. His white leghorns av
h eraged 229 eggs per hen for the yeai
j The average size of his flock was 40
birds.
This is a remarkable average. Mi
I" Mitchell is a farmer, not a poultr
specialist, and he and his wif
started with poultry in 1907. The
kept accurate records and have buil
e up their flocks themselves.
l" They did not have electric ligh'
h but each evening Mr. and Mrs. Mitel
t ell would take gasoline lanterns dow
to the poultry house about 9 o'cloc
11 and give the birds a good feed c
'' wheat. After that the birds would g
r back to roost with a crop full o
grain to last them until morning,
i Mr. Mitchell has kept tho cost c
feed down and made money, eve
d though he had a low selling price. Hi
e eggs 1 averaged him only 27 'Ac pe
. dozen. His feed cost was 11c pe
dozen and his profit from the egg
" alone was $3.14 for each hen.

i TEACHERS PAY
| (Rutherfordton Sun)
' The present agitation for the re
i 'duction of the pay of our public schoo
f teachers is unfortunate since it can
not fail to have a depressing effec
1 1 upon our educational standards. An<
j should such a reduction actually tak<
? place, the result would be deplorable
since many of our most efficien
'teachers would quickly seek othei
tields or else enter into other anc
better paid lines of employment.
The public school teacher today is
the poorest paid skilled workman ir
i the country. It requires years oi
study and preparation and a greai
outlay of money to equip a man or wo
jman for a teacher. And thus equip
'ped, the average pay is but $70.00
land that for only seven or eight
jjnonths in the year. To cut such sal
j aries, or even talk about such a cut
'is unfortunate and cannot result in
anything but discouragement to tha
great teaching profession.
I The education of our children is the
biggest problem before the parents of
the state. It is vitally important that
!our ohildren are under the tutilage in
ifluence of a high toned highly trained
body of teachers. And we cannot ex
pect to secure such a h:gh class a;
we desire if the wages are complete
ly out of line with the American ideal
'and standards of living.
I The state can well afford to cut
oxpences at many points, but at this
: one point,' they need to be increased.
!Our teachers today are not getting
? the living that their character and
training entitles them to.
An Unpleasant Subject
AH of the functions of life aro not
pleasant to consider. Perhaps, this is
why some mothers refuse to think thafc
Bucn symptoms as restless sleep, loss of
flesh, lack of appetite or itching nose
and fingers in tneir children, can bo
caused by round or pin worms. Many
mothers "have proven, however, that a
few doses of White's Cream Vermi
fuge, that sure and harmless worm
c:rpcl!sat, will make these symptoms
disappear. You can get White's Cream

MR. WALDROP CALLS
(The Highlands Maconian)
John D. Waldrop, chief highway
engineer of North Carolina, came to
Highlands on Thursday and explain
ed in part the reasons for the de
lay in paving Highway No. 28 be
tween Highlands and Gneiss. Last
November, he stated, the plans for
surfacing this section were sent to
Washington to secure approval fo!
Federal aid. The plans were turned
down because ol several abrupt
curves and unnecessarily steep grades.
Before paving can start, these curves
and grades must be eliminated. The
,cost of this regrading, Mr. Waldrop
? estimated, will be about $15,000. The
'steam shovel that is being used on
Ithe last stretch of grading, just be
iyond Cashiers, will be brought back
? to be used in making the neces
,i ' sary changes. This may be done af
?? ter the grading beyond Cashiers is
(1 'completed, or the work beyond Cash
iers may be stopped long enough to
'ie allow for bringing the shovel back to
make the change?, Mr. Waldrop in
dicated. This regrading will eiimi
] 'nate the objections that were ad
vanced for with holding Federal aid,
'said the state engineer.
j Within a week from last Thursday
promised Mr. Waldrop, James Coun
cil, engineer on the new highway be
tween Ella and Smokemount, will
come to Macon to run a new survey
!at the points where the improvements
?are to be made. This will require a
Iweek, weather conditions permitting.
Drawing the new set of plans and
'plotting the new line require another
week, but within 30 days, according
' to the state engineer, Federal ap
? proval is expected. The minute the
j plans are approved, John C. Walker(
^district highway engineer, can start
regrading and prepare for paving
|d said Mr. Waldrop.
n No. 28 is one of the highways in
e which the highway commission is
ie' ' most interested, declared the state
Vi engineer. It is one of the Federal aid
projects that is to be paved as quick
ly as the details can be arranged.
a ; Highway officials, he asserted, need
!no prodding in order to hurry the
l, work. The annual Federal aid ap
\ propriation for North Carolina is
$2,800,000, which must be matched
dollar for dollar by the state. This
le year North Carolina has only $3,
11 ; 400,000 to be spent on highways;
therefore, practically all construction
1* must be on Federal aid roads. An ad
s" ditional emergency Federal aid fund
>r of $1,922,000 has been appropriated
to relieve unemployment and must be
1? ' spent by September 1. These facts,
'f states Mr. Waldrop, are an assurance
k ;that No. 28 is not to be neglected.
y The rock chrusher for the paving
between here and Gneiss will not be
? I delivered until needed, said the high
d . way official. That is the reason of
d ficials have been in no hurry to de
s> | liver the crusher. Paving will likely
>' be completed from Geniss to Sapphire
e when the work starts. This will com
plete paving on No. 28 as far west as
Franklin. If this gap is completed
with any funds available within a
reasonable length of time, the For
est service has agreed to donate its
next annual appropriation of $45,
000 for its roads and trails in this
vicinity to the highway commission
to be used in paving No. 28 west of
Franklin.
