I Somehow one cannot but feel a | kind of pity for the old bridge down at Horseshoe curve, as one now j takes the straight shoot over the new bridge but recently completed. j That little old one-way bridge span- , ning the French Broad river was used for a great many years, and has held up the weight of many thous ands of people in the years gone by. Once upon a time it was a new bridge, and people admired it, and nsci it, and talked about it with considerable pride. Time passed, how ever, and progress and still more pvoi i ess came, until decision was reached to build a new bridge a few hundred yards below the old one. Kow the old bridge is shunned by travelers. No more is it used by the hurryiv." travelers who turn to the new b' iiige, many of them never giv ing glance toward the old bridge (that spanned the stream for them in the past. It brings to mind the man who i? trowing old, and who is side-tracked, shelved, put away, while some new leader takes his place. A man, once strong and powerful, being constant ly sought by all those about him, de lighting in "carrying" people over the streams of life and across the dif ficult places, is now ignored by those who sought him, and used him, and flattered him in other days. The peo ple turn to the new leader, when the first one grows old. Whether it be a man. or a bridge, or a machine, it is discarded when a bigger, or better, ?r stronger, something comes into be ing. U is light and proper that things bo done in this mamer. Why use a one-way bridge when a new two-way bridge is standing there for your con Tvnionce? Each bridge, or man, for his day and time, but when something better or more powerful is placed up on the scene the day of the other thing, <.r man, passes into history ?and his services into the discard. HE KM A NY'S PLIGHT BRINGS CHEATER SUFFERING TO ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD. We can not fully understand the plight of Germany, where all the banks of the entire country are order ed closed for the time being, and ?all stoek markets are silent, and all activities stopped, except the frantic efforts of the nation's officials who xre working day and night to find some way to avert utter collapse. Only fifteen years ago Germany was a nation so powerful i:t its wealth .and influence that its rulers believed it could whip the whole <t the rest of the world. Today it is utterly and completely at the merey of other countries, groveling in the dust, sil enced in every sound ext.pt that of its pleas for aid. Some of us might be tempted to Set some satisfaction in Germany's x tittering were it not for the self interest injected into the situation. Germany's plight, however, hurts all ?f us. Every nation in the civilized world suffers because Germany is suffering. Therefore, the sensible thing for these nations to do is to lend whatever aid is necessary, and save Germany, thereby saving other nation* We people here in Transylvania county ought to be able to under stand the causes of Germany's plight. That nation has been sending out more money, on her war debts, than she has been taking in. This course tan lead to nothing else but destruc tion when followed year after year. Transylvania county has been doing the same thing for years. We have been sending out money for interest on county bonds and interest on town bonds and we individual citi zens have been sending out money oa automobiles, houses, radios, farm loans, mail order houses, and every thing else imaginable, in aggregate sums far exceeding the amount of money that has been coining into the county, until the supply is just about exhausted In. this light, then, we can easily understand just how Germany is brought to the dust. The only differ ence between the methods used is found in the fact that Germany was forced to pay war debts ar,i SiJ. :3, i ? ? ? ; ind had r.o choice in the matter. In Transylvania county we were not i'orced to send out much money, >ut did it on our own free will and ? accord, at the same time making but little effort to bring money into :h*_> county. Germany has reached the end >f her way, and the whole of the vest >'f the world suffers because Germany ..uffers. v If this country, as a unit, would ivcrt the sad experiences coming 'to ermany as a nation, then we mufet ,and there is no alternative) work igcther and BRING into the county -nore money than we SEND out of ".he county. Both our county and .own governments are now operating through the grace of bondholders, vhile many of our business houses ire standing only because of the jrace and patience of creditors. Wonder just what' we shall do ?ibout it? "About the most inconsistent thing 'hat can be done is for some little :ip-start to get mad at his newspaper, ;top his subscription, and then slip ??.round and read another subscriber's paper," is the way one of our ex changes talks about the matter. But ihey'll do that very thing, Mister, ? very time. It's been done right here, too. WHY THE riA.WD- IS NOT PLAYING ^ Owi Jto Bc?tain dements and '^l^r'lSa^rBaVd: Imfemei .hat the public is due an^anat^ . Writ? the band 'than any lifES^eca'use I fell a'n intent ity I had in the actions of the band ?SOwin?gyt'o the financial condition of ,ve would no first of june we sr.-jsa - ??d " ?" Tn ?? ?'? "Si .,f pay as we had been doing al dong. Then it was suggested that ? o stacc a minstrel to vaise * nonev we could for Mr. Cutter and to of" ay other incidental expenses of -he band. At this meeting -all was to be staged, and had aireaoy been advertised, it was learned that certain members of the band who had Upon triven important parts in the en tertainment would th^'sh?w pearance on the -night of the show . were using their influence to other . wise hinder the success ol the enter nrke The show went on. 1 hanns to : the efforts of the. .faithful member and interested citizens ? and was ? from all material angles a success. , "Tow in any band. or other musical organization there is always a ce tain few whom the Creator has en dowed with greater talent than t average run of human beings, and these always become outstanding i he r performance. The Breyard Band being "an average smalltownband, , had its quota of these high jy talent , ed musicians, so when the time came ' for the band to begin playing public ' concerts I understand that some of 1 these members announced that owing I tn the fact that the remainder ot the ! b?t?,r?ot .bh ?? ' of music that they were able to play, 1 that it was unfair to them and the I art to play with us. but, that when the remainder of the band got s ' that they could play, that th?y would be glad to have us play with them. Now it is known that (Musician- ) i are often very temperamental, so the above statement wounded the teei ings of some of the less fortunate 1 members, so they "took out, conse ' (itiently there has been an average ot ? about four or five of the more con stant variety present on rehearsa : nights, and of course it has been in I possible for us to make a public ap 1 pearance so far. Contrary to some rumors I have . heard on the streets I wish to state i that Mr. Cutter is not responsible for any shortcomings of the band. He is always here willing and able to conduct the band, but unless he can , get a band there he is Perfectly he p l?ss. Mr. Cutter has told me that due to the conditions at this time that he ?had intended to donate his services this season if money could not be raised to pay his salary as had been I done in the past. The only reason that I can see for 'not having a band this season is be cause certain members of the band, j being citizens in the community, do ! not feel sufficient interest in the wel fare of their community, to donate their services. ... . i As to whether or not there will be any public concerts this summer, i^The above statements are correct so far as I can ascertain. (Signed) CARL HARDIN. The above statement is concurred in by- W. H. Harris, Fred Grogan, Goode Loftis and Philip Price. Captain Charles D. Farmer and his trainees for the State Highway Patrol ,have arrived from three weeks of training at Morehead City. The addition of about 35 men out of nearly 100 who stood the test and took the training will probably not made until after the State Highway Commission meets July 23, Chairman E. B. Jeffress said. Father (looking at son's report card;) "Do you know that George Washington was at the head of his class when he was your age?" Son: "Yes, but he was president of TTrnfn^ h6 W38 yOiit iigO, i up. i RALEIGH LETTER Raleigh, July 15 ? "If the people are as insistent upon tax relief in July as they are now.'Vr-is the begin ning of a statement made while the General Assembly vrw in sessibn by Governor 0. Max Gardner. His mean ing was that if tjje people back home made the same demands for tax re lief upon their local officers as they were making on the State, then they would get plenty of relief." The relief sought is being given. In many instances reports are that county and city officials are slashing budgets and cutting expenses for the next year. The' Tax Commissioner's report, showing: that more than $12, 000,000 is being taken from tfle. prop erty tax bill in the State, nearly nine and two-third millions in schools and more than two and one-half mil lions in roads, will, be welcomed in formation to property owners, even if a deficit does develop. And this reduction must be re flected in the individual tax bill. The counties are required to reduce local expenses by that much, and can exceed the differences by only three cents, and then with the approval of the Local Government Commission. The result will be greater than that of the "million dollar rain," in that it will be more than $12,000,000 re lief. While the amount is indefinite, es timates place the savings on the one item of gasoline alone for the pres ent fiscal year at between $150,000 and $200,000 on the approximately j 10 million gallons that will be used, | by the State's agencies, as a result of j the contract entered into last Fri day between the Division of Pur- 1 chase and Contract and the Texas Company for the supply. The supply j for about seven counties will be sup plied by six smaller firms, the Texas Company supplying the remainder of the State. The contract gives the State the j benefit of all local price wars, in j that the price is so much less than i the published service station price is effect at the time and point of de livery, the big contract being 6.15 : cents less than taxi car price; 5.15 less than tank wagon price, and 3.15 I cents less than service station price. ' The division has called for bids on nearly 10,000 pneumatic tires and , slightly more than that many tubes, and a few hundred solid tires, to be opened next Friday, This supply is the estimated needs of the State Highway Commission, public school^ universities and colleges, hospitals, training schools, correctional insti tutions, experiment stations and State departments for this fiscal year. The saving on tires by this bulk purchase will range from 30 to 50 per cent of the prices paid by the counties and other units and will probably amount to close to $200, 000. These two items, gasoline and tires give fully three-fourths of the savings of $400,000 promised by Gov ernor Gardner through establishment of this division, and belief is that the total will approximate a million dollars a year. 1 The new State Board of Agricult ure, composed of five farmers, rep resenting the five major divisions of farming in the State, general, truck, tobacco, cotton and livestock, held its first regular meeting last week, when Commissioner William A. Graham made his report on the activities of the department. One of the most interesting devel opments of the meeting is the infor mation that George Watts Hill, Dur , ham lawyer and financier and the livestock member of the board, is giv ing consideration to the suggestion that he become a candidate for Com missioner of Agriculture. He is a young man and is making a great success of the livestock activities he has undertaken. Mr. Hill is a step grandson of Mrs. Cameron Morrison, whose husband named Mr. Graham to his present post when his father died. Although his father, John , Sprunt Hill, was the most favorable opponent to Governor Gardner's new road program, the Governor later named the son to the agricultural board. Frank H. Jeter, State College agri cultural extension editor, and Laurie McEachern, Hoke county representa tive, have also been mentioned as pos sible candidates for Commissioner of Agriculture. MR. AND MRS.
