BREVARD HI TURNS BACK THE INVADERS Local Nii\e Hands Henderson ville Small End of 12-4 Score "We came, w8 saw, we conquered'' Sees a well known Latin phrase, but had Hendersonville used the Latin for this Tuesday they would have to had tucked onto the end of it the verb, adverb, preposition or what-ho spelled "n-o-n'1? for unlike the great aa-my of old, they came, saw and con quered not. Fact is, about all the Hendersonville High school baseball nine got here Tuesday was a drub bing of the worst sort, the local Blue Devils nosing them out in a seven mmng affair 12-4. ?And to go back to another great saying ? "given and it shall be given" ? Brevard handed the visitors the same sort of gift that was received here last Thanksgiving, when Hen dersonville's eleven left more down hearted people . of the football field < than were left several days later when the memorable Fifteenth of De cember came around. Facts and figures of the game were entirely too one-sided for compari ; nn vVith the big-town hoopla, the visiting team started of in the first inning by getting two hits, twice as many errors chaked up against Bre vard and netted four runs. Blue was the predominating color on the faces of the home-town rooters as the in r;nir came to a hazardous looking close. Brevard came to the bat with no mercy on the new ball that is desig nated to keep long hits scarce this season. Bill Erwin smacked out a triple, Joe Schachner and Bear Davis ??ach smacked one a mile for four bags, and everybody and anybody hit all the Hendedrsonville offerings for seven tallies in the second half of the > ?' lYiilv, truly, a great change in the color scheme was worked out than,- Ion fashion. Smiles, hand shakes, and all the accoustics of joy were evident on the faces of the local fans. This enthusiasm permeated the entire ^Brevard aggregation, for going to the field in the first half of the second, first class backing was given Albert I'ayne and Paul Schachner, battery supreme, and no more scores were allowed the visiters.

LEGISLATURE NOW IN DEATH GRIP OVER ! NEW REVENUE BILL l( Continued from ixtye one) ? University, he made a motion that the General Assembly adjourn, sine die. which motion was ruled out of order. However, talk of adjourning has been going the rounds and many of the legislators are known to look on it with favor, except for the ap pearence of quitting before finishing the job. The suggestion is made that all of the members, by a joint resolu tion, tender their resignations to the Governor, and let him call another election to get a new group. The con stitutionality of the suggestion is questioned ? and the point is made that it would be the same fight all over again. At this writing a deadlock is not only possible, but eminent, unless some give and take or compromise is brought about. The Senate, sitting as a committee of the whole, killed the general sales tax overwhelmingly, af ter the House had included it in the Revenue bill by a majority of four. Then the Senate kiled , the so-called luxury sales tax bill by the close vote of 36 to 24,. the same bill which the House had killed two weeks before by an overwhelming majority. These sales tax measures, one of them, was intended to furnish most of the new money needed to operate the Mac Lean "sim months school term by the State. The Senate, after killing both sales tax provisions, sought to go right into the task of providing the $10, 000,000 equalizing fund proposed in the Senator John H. Folger bill, but was balked for a day by the oppon ents of that measure. Meanwhile, the 1 louse voted a motion which re-af firmed the MacLean school bill, thus further complicating the situation, by saying to the Senate, in so many words", that is demanded the MacLean law would have nothing else. That body had killed one sales tax meas ure, however, and adopted the other j by only four majority. i But the Senate went steadily about its work of preparation for the Fol ger measure. By majorities of three to six it revised the taxes in the Revenue bill. This means a reduction from the figures adopted by the House, but they were raised with the view that the ad valorem tax would I be taken from public service and ' other corporations. The Senate re Id uced them on the ground that the 1 ad volorem taxes will be continued, | but provided, in reality, increase in amount sufficient to. raise the addi tional $3,500,000 needed for an equal izing fund of $10,000,000, which it 'adopted Saturday. When >this meas ure is finally passed by the Senate, probably by Tuesday the bill, as amended, must go back to the House. What will happen there is a knotty problem. The House may refuse tu concur, probably will, and may refuse a conference committee report, afteT a joint House and Senate committee has ironed out, or attempted to iron out, the differences. In that case, the deadlock reached would be hard tr break . Howevef, many of- the House mem lers who are supporting the Mac lean measure say that they are con 'inced it will not give the people vhat they think and hope and that hey ,in reality, realize the $10,000 )00 equalizing fund would aid them ibout as much and would not burden ;hem with a sales tax. Many citizens, :hey point out, have made up their minds that the MacLean measure is their one and only salvation, will not I listen to anything else, reasonable as it may be, and demand that alone. Some legislators say that this pres sure , based on what they have been led to believe will bring complete re lief, causes them to attempt to give their constituents what they think they want, knowing it is not what they hope. The problem is by no means solved. The General Assembly, with more to do that any previous one, is approach- j ing its 100th day and will reach it j before this week is over, on Friday. ; At the present outlook, it cannot finish this week, and possibly not the the next. The appopriations bill has been passed in the House. It must be finished and in four or fivfe days is a minimum in the Senate. The bills introduced reached 640 in the Senate and 1230 in the House, a total of 1770. About 20 public bills were ratified, and about twice as burning a dried carrot stick, the elec- 1 trie suction motor drawing the gas j and iodine into the glass jars. At the right he is grinding vegetables as a .preliminary stage in the process. many local bills, during the past week. Little other than the Revenue j and Appropriations measures have received consideration. The measure to create in the Gov- 1 ernor's office a Division of Purchase | and Control has become a law. Gov ernor Gardner is expected to name the director before long. He has al ready decided upon the seven mem- , bers of the Highway Commission un- j der the new law, but he is not certain : he will announce them before the ' General Assembly adjourns. The bill to create a Division of Personnel is on its way, but not much nearer en- 1 actment than it was a week ago. Another "short ballot" bill, to have j the Governor appoint the Commis- j sioners of Agriculture, Insurance and Labor and Printing $nd the Corpora- ? tion Commission members, met its ! death in the House last week. The bill to re-apportion the House of | Representative members has come ! from the committee with favorable report and may be enacted. No such hope is entertained for the bill to re district the State as to Senatorial districts, on the 1930 census basis. I Bills Ratified The General Assembly adopted a resolution of respect upen learning of the death of Nicholas Longworth, speaker of the National House of Representatives. Among the other , bills that have now become law are the following: To submit a proposed amendment to the Constitution of N. C. to pro- , tect from creditors insurance for wives and children during the life of the .insured. I To extend the time for issuing alias and pluries summons in tax suits. Authorizing receivers and trustees : to foreclose deeds of trust and mort gages under court orders and validat ing such foreclosures and sales. Amendment relative to the invest ment of trust funds. Amendment relative to cmfwy mw Amendment relating to condemna tion proceedings and assessments dis tricts for condemnation proceedings. Bills Introduced Among the new bills introduced during the past week are the follow ing: 1-V> restore to the people the right to elect the Commissioner of Rev enue. To regulate the sale in N. C. of all wearing apparel and articles of domestic use manufactured by con vict labor, requiring a label showing it. PIANO RECITAL TO BE GIVES' NEXT MONDAY EVENING One of the most interesting fea tures of commencement period is the annual pian.o recital, which will be given next Monday evening in the auditorium of the High School build ing at 8:15 o'clock. Pupils of Prof. Alvin Moore and Miss Lillian Jenk ins will play. Additional entertainment will be provided for the occasion by presenta tion of the Toy Orchestra, which is always given a big hand in Brevard. Other features will be included on the program, and it is expected that a large crowd will .enjoy the splendid program which has been prepared for the evening. MILLER BOYS GIVEN EAGLE SCOUT HONOR Kiwanis Club Present Fred and Jack Miller with Highest Boy Scout Emblems Fred and Jack Miller were guests of honor at the Brevard Kiwanis Club last Thursday at noon. These two young fellows, the first in Brevard to win the coveted Scout rank of Eagle, were presented with a regulation badge each, the presentation being made for the Club by Kiwanian Jim Barrett. In presenting the badges to the . honor guests, Mr. Barrett stressed the importance of the Scout move ment in Brevard, and lauded the lo cal club for the interest taken in the youth of the town in being sponsors for the Scout troop. An Eagle Scout badge, the speaker declared, was not an evidence of great things done in a mediocre or passable way, but was evidence of a lot of little things dsne well; a badge of perseverance. In the attainment of the two Brevard Eagle Scouts is to be found, Mr. Barrett said, the remedy for all the ills of this or any community. A goal worth while set, and then effort and strife for its attainment. Responses to the presentation were given by both boys in clear-cut man ner. Fred Miller voiced the senti ment of the local Boy Scouts in de claring that the incentive for better work was manifest by the boys by reason of the fact that the Kiwanis Club was interested in their work, and as a patrol leader thanked the club for the courtesies extended the b0?S. Jack, who is rated as one of the most studious boys in the Brevard High school, brought down the house by closing his acceptance speech with a reminiscence of history. "While," said he, "I hated to be second man of the troop to win the coveted honor of Eagle Scout, still there is honor in being second. George Washington, while generally thought of and uni versally spoken of as being first in everything, was in reality second. He was 'first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen' ? but here's the rub ? he was not first with the ladies, for he married a widow." President R. L. Aexander discussed phases of the committee work of the club, stressing need for more effort on the part of committee members. He reported on the work of providing glasses for several cases of under privileged children, and stated that plans were practically complete for the fitting of four of these children so badly in need of glasses. This work of the club is attracting much interest. A new idea in brooding baby chicks was begun in Alexander County this season with the building of six brick brooded bouses. The new houses are giving good service according to their owners. i CAR OWNERS NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LOW PRICES ON FIRESTONE TIRES.
