NOTHING IN THE OLD WORLD
OR THE NEW TO MATCH THIS
SECTION FOR BEAUTY
"Why, Jim, I've been all over the
Rocky Mountains, the Adirondacks,
the Allegheny, in this country, and in
the mountainous regions of the Old
World, including Italy and the Alps,
and there is no scenery in any of
them to compare with that right
here.''
It was Mr. Randall W. Everett
speaking, giving expression to his
great admiration and love for this
section. He had just returned from
a trip with Rev. and Mrs. R. L. Alex
ander from Brevard, by Toxaway, to
Cashiers, to Highlands, to Franklin,
to Sylva, to Waynesville and back to
Brevard by way of Mount Pisgah and
the Pink Beds. Continuing, Mr.
Everett said:
"Starting: at Greenville. South Car
olina, a tourist may come by way of
Caesar's Head, to Brevard, and then
take this swing around by Highlands,
Franklin, Sylva, Waynesville, and
back across Pisgah Mountain, and
that tourist will have gazed upon the
most wonderful natural scenic beauty
in the whole world. Thousands of peo
pe now going tc Europe would prefer
this trip right here, if only they knew
about it, and all the stretches of the
highway were completed. Of course,
the road work is rapidly nearing com
pletion, and it seems to me that all
Brevard has to do is to join in with
other towns in this community and let
the people know about this great
beauty and the good roads now being
completed throughout this section.
Then, when the Great Smoky Moun
tain National Park is opened, it is
'good-night' to hard times here
abouts."
U is the belief of Mr. Everett that
Brevard should devote full time and
energy first to completion of the high
ways, and next to the task of telling
the world about this matchless scenic
beauty embraced, within the "boundary
above described. He believes that so
many tourists would come into this
section, spending time and money,
that the citizens here would reap a
golden harvest. And Mr. Everett is
exactly right.
Mr. Ernest Webb's force is about
through work on the Brevard end of
the Greenville highway. Soon he will
move the force to the Caesar's Head
end of the project. Within a few
months this, highway will be complete.
Efforts are now being made to get
the State to go to work on the Pisgah
Forest end of Highway 28, and on the
Boylston road, to the Henderson
county line.
State forces are completing the
highway from Highlands* by Cashiers
to the Transylvania county line. The
Franklin end of that project is al
ready completed. Wffrk on the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park is
being rushed, and the Champion Fibre
company has settled with the states
of North Carolina and Tennessee for
the lands held by that concern, em
braced within the park area, which
gives guarantee of the early comple
tion of all plans in connection with
the National Park. So it is, indeed,
looking like this little old community
is about to come into its own at last. !
Editor Peace, of The Greenville
News, says that his Community will
fill Brevard over the week-end and
every week-end just as soon as the ,
highway work is comple^d on 28'
from South Carolina line t? Brevard.
Charlotte boys are planning to come
to Brevard this summer in laije num- i
bers. Florida, the old reliable,, and
South Carolina from Charleston, this
way, are both sending large numbers
of tourists to this community this
year. The camps will bring hundreds
of men and women who will want to
be near the boys and girls in camp,
and all told, we are in for a fairly
good 1931 season, and a great futvre
indeed after the road work is done.
BONDED WHEN BORN INTO
AMOUNTS ALMOST UNKNOWN
"Bo?n, to Mr. and Mrs. John Smith,
a son, John, Jr."
That is what readers oi newspapers
may see most any day when their
home paper is published, only the
name may not be John Smith, but that
doesn't matter.
The boy is born, and the parents
' are happy, and theSieighbors come in
to look the youngsters over, and with
in a short time he is^cooing his first
coo, and then he sfoiles,, and one day
he leams to say "Daddy." Then comes
the crawling, and the standing alone,
and then the walking, step by step,
until his little1 feet can trot over the
floor faster than a jack rabbit.
But what if that little fellow could
.know the bonded state into which he
: has been born ! What if he could know
| of the Federal bonds, the State bonds,
the county bonds, the town bonds, the
school district bonds, the road bonds,
and all other sorts and kinds of bonds
[into which our children are being
born?
Do you know what is going to hap
pen out yonder-about 1945 or 1950?
i Or it may be by 1940 that it will hap
'pen. Here it is:
, The little John Smiths who have
been born into this bonded state of
affairs are going to rise up and say
{ "To h with these bonds that our
fool daddies and mammies placed
about us and heaped upon us. We
' are not going to pay them, and that's
; that, and you bondholders can make
the most of it, so shoot your wad and
shoot quickly."
J After all, is it quite right to bond
; our babies yet unborn? Is it the part
of wisdom to create national, state,
county and municipal debts that will
break the backs of the coming gen
eration to pay? Do you think our pos
terity will rise up and call us blessed,
out yonder when pay day comes?
FIFTEEN-CENT ADVA LOR EM
TAX MIGHTY APT TO GROW
Presuming that the legislature will
adopt the new revenue bill providing
for a 15-cent ad valorem tax for op
eration of the six months' school, with
no sales tax of any "kind, we would
like to point out the danger of that
fifteen cents growing to sixty, or even
to seventy-five cents, instead of re
maining at the fifteen cents, as plan
ned in the revenue bill.
The purpose of the bill is to allow
the authorities to colect fifteen cents
on the hundred dollars valuation of
real estate and personal property to
apply on the six months' school term.
If this could be followed to the letter,
it would mean great savings to many
counties in the state. But will it re
main at the fifteen cents on the hun
dred dollars? That's the question.
You see, there is the extra two
months, or extended term, in counties
having the eight months' term. The
state has nothing to do with the mon
ey for this extended term, or the two
months extra. That must be levied,
in addition to the fifteen cents for the
six months' term. Just how much is
that extra two months to cost? Just
what will be the assessment for this
extended term?
Unless this feature is closely watch
ed, what we think of as being fifteen
cents on the hundred dollars valua
tion will be stretched away out yon
der.
HERE'S HOW TO GET YOUR
PICTURE IN THE PAPER ' '
If you want your picture oh the
front pages of all the big daily news
papers (and little ones, for that mat- 1
ter), just sue your old man for di
vorce, or the old woman, as the case ,
may be. That's all. This divorce
racket is certain to produce the pic
ture. You women who crave to seo
your beautiful faces looking out at 1
you from the front page of the paper, :
just enter suit for divorce, and you'll
get it there. You needn't think that
you can get your picture in the paper ?
by having babies, and keeping house,
and attending church, and saying
your prayers, and singing a lullaby f
over the cradle, or leading a class of
children in Sunday school. No, Sir, or |
Madam, we meant. That's not the
way.
But you enter suit for divorce, and j
sue the old man for alimony, and by
all the hecks in heckdom, your picture .
will peep right out at you from the
very next day's newspaper.
Don't you get sick and tired of see- j
ing all these fool pictures of fool men
and women who are getting divorced ,
from one another, blasting the front!
pages of the papers? Do you reckon
^here is any way in the world to stop

(By SCOUT REPORTER )
Brevard Troop No. 1 of the Boy
Scouts of America won fourth place

the Daniel Boone Council Saturday.
Four hundred Scouts participated in
the various events and there were as
many spectators in the grand stand

Led by the drum and bugle corps,
the Scouts paraded from the Federal
building to the stadium. The events
at the stadium, included signaling,
knot tying, first aid, a dressing race,
a fire building contest, tent pitching
contest and wall scaling race.
The local troop placed in four of
the principal events, taking one first
place, one second, one fourth and two
fifths.
i In knot tying, fourth place; signal
ing,- first and second places; fire
building, fifth place; and inspection,
second place.

several years. The winning troop,
Asheville No. 8, scored a total of 51
points, while the Brevard troop
placed fourth, with 23 points.

Brevard took first and fifth honors,

the Wolves fifth.
i The world's record for wall scaling
is 11 seconds, the wining team this
year scaled the wall in fourteen sec
