THE BREVARD NEWS Pubished Every Thursday by THE TRANSYLVANIA PUBLISHING CO., Inc. Entered at the Poatoffice in Brera*^ N. C., as Second Class Matter Jamea F. Barrett Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES (Payable In Advancc) One Year ?&00 Six Mentha LOO Three Months M Thursday. July 23. 1931 SOMETHING COMES ALONG AND LEVELS THINGS. Were it not for raking in the ashes of dead men, and dragging to the surface dead men's bones, an inter esting chapter could be written about the fates that have followed those powerful men in these United States who reared up and stood on their manly hind legs, and said: "I am running my own business. I shall hire whomsoever I please, fire them when I get ready, pay them whatever wage I want to pay them, and I WILL NOT countenance any interference in MY business by the men who work for ME!" Tragic ends have come to many such men in this country, men who would not deal in a business way with their employees, men who assumed full and complete control and author ity over the lives of all those in their employ, and numerous cases arc on record where such men have come tc tragic end, so numerous that it it barely possible to lay it all to acci dent. Recent instances of such an ending is that of a man who di?d in a Ral< cigh hotel one night last week. 11 was in evidence that this man hac gone to Raleigh, engaged the room and pitched a party. At least threi women are known to have been ii the party. His dead body was foun< in a dvy bath tub, when fire was dis covered in his room. A cigarette ii said to have caused the fire. Jus what caused his death is not given t< the public in very clear manner. This man was a big mill man, i manufacturer connected with severa institutions. He was connected witl one of the big mills at Marion wher< so much trouble occurred in the fal of 1929. He recruited "loyal" work ers, and ran part time, but ignore* the efforts of the organized worker to deal with him. He was successfu in his stand against the workers, bu fire from a little old cigarette or some other insignificant caus< brought the big man to a tragic end. We could recite many instances o like nature, where the levelling pro cess came along and laid big power ful giants of industry and finance lov in the dust of tragic and regrettable death. We are not attempting ti state any cause, nor do we make ef fort to connect such tragic event with any given law of Nature. W< are simply stating that any numbei of similar cases are familiar to us. Once upon a time there was a greal writer by the names of James, whe addressed communications to th( twelve tribes that were scattered about the earth, and in one of thes? letters he wrote something like this: "Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are cor rupted, and your garments are moth eaten. Your gold and silver is cank ered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth, and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabbaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth and have been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just. ..." The most unanimous sentiment ever witnessed in this state is the opinion that the $50 truck license provided in the last legislature against trucks coming into the State from South Carolina is just about the biggest piece of fool legislation ever enacted. What in the world our representatives were thinking about when that clause went through is more than one can understand. It may be that they didn't think at all, and this lack of thought on their part is responsible for the enactment of the most viciously foolish legislation ever placed upon our statute books. The tobacco companies succeeded in keeping off the proposed luxury tax in the last legislature, and then im mediately raised the price of cigar ettes. That is adding insult to in jury. WELL, PUT 'EM THERE, IF THAT'S YOUR IDEA OF A NEWSPAPER TASK. Last Saturday's daily papers throughout the country "front paged" I double column pictures of "Ma Ken nedy" an her new husband, Bev. Edward Hudson. The pose showed the preacher, seated, wearing a loung ing robe and holding a book in hU hand. "Ma Kennedy" was jwrch'ftfl upon the arm of the chair, leaning 1 all over her new husbund like a sick 'kitten to a warm brick. One of her arms about the preacher's neck, the hand encircling his head against ! which she pressed her downy flfty : year-old painted cheek. The story with the picture, and ap ? parently the only excuse for publish ing the sickening sight, was to effect 1 that the preacher's first wife had ap peared upon the scene and informed her erstwhile husband that, accord ' ing to all well regulated households, he was still her husband and, tWre foru, had no business lolling about with another woman, although he had gone through the forms and ceremon ies of wedding that other woman. ,A , "Ma Kenndy," mother of Mrs. Evangelist Aimee Semple McPher son, has become noted, or notorious, according to the viewpoint, simply because she is the mother of the wo man evangelist. Just what it is that causes great big he-newspapermen to fall for all this rot, and publish pic 1 tures of legalized libertines is more | than a mere country editor can un 1 derstand. But that seems to be the fad and fashion in newspaper row now. Just let some fellow leave his ' wife and take up with another wo 1 man, or let some woman leaVe hei 1 husband, and take up with another man, and presto! their beautiful pic tures appear on the front page, just ! like that! And then they wonder why flam ' ing youth is filling the penitentiaries! t ' Do not build up too much hope or 1 the fact that the state shows a re I duction in the tax rate in Trarisyl vania county of 41 cents on the hun dred dollars. That would leave thi 5 rate to be set at $1.53. It cannot b( ' done, dear friends, becatisc of th< 3 amount it is going to take in the deb' service item. There is no telling jus' * yet how much the rate will have t< be. It will be much more, however U ' than the $1.53, as suggested by th< 8 state figures. II j "A hit dog hollers "is an old nay ing that retains its truth with th> j passing of centuries. That little feis t that you hear barking at the heel of men has been hit. But the littl '' Devil has beon kicked about until h' ' has the habit of yelping. Even thos< whose boots he licks turn upon hiii * every two years and kick him witl the same boot that he has been lick ing. Yet he keeps on licking, am " yelping, and hollering. Some feist' e are like that, you know. " ! One of the next treats in store foi the people of the community is th< annual Fiower Show, to be given un der auspices of the Woman's Bureai ! in August. Much of the beauty o1 : Brevard, that Appealing beauty fount ' in the carefully tended flower gard : ens of the town, is due, in large part ' to the activities of the bureau in 1 holding the flower show each year. It is in evidence that this year's display 1 will be far greater and more beauti ful than in any year in the past. i "Our business this year shows an appreciable increase over last year," says W. H. Grogan, Jr., district dep uty of the Woodmen of the World. Wonder if this isn't true in a great many lines of endeavor. We can get in the habit of cussing dull times, and forget to makd comparisons of busi ness done and being done, and over look some great facts, you know. Can and preserve every mouthful of food that you can reach during the next few weeks. That is the greatest guarantee against the invasion of . Old Man Hard Times during the com ing winter ? which is to be a long one, filled with snows and- suffering. This summer season is almost half gone, and it will then be ten long months ?until the tourists come again. Can and preserve, preserve and can, then can and preserve some more. Then, the insurance companies, al 'ways powerful in exerting in fluence over legislative bodies, saw !the legislature enact compulsory in surance laws, in that if an automo bile owner has a wreck, and has no 'insurance, and cannot pay the dam jages invoved in the wreck, his license to operate a car are taken from him. Immediately after this became a law, then the insurance companies raised the premium rates on such insurance. It beats the Devil how the big boys can do just as they please with the common people ?f North Carolina. TO THE MEMORY OF THE LATE PROF L. B. HAYNES Rome weeks ago the papers car ried the message: "Professor L. B. Haynes is dead." This newr. brought l sadness to hundreds of hearts. The i memories of his former students turned back and lived again their school -days, some in Charleston, others at Columbia College, and many at Leesville College. Professor Haynes was the founder of Leesville College, and his greatest work was accomplished there. Lees ville College was the first coeduca tional college, and first industrial . womans college in the state. This lat ter feature made it possible for many young women to receive the advan tages of a higher education which otherwise would have been impossi ble. Many of his pupils and friends would appreciate the privilege of do I ing something more than laying a few roses on his grave. They would love to engrave his name "with an iron pen and lead IT in the rock for ever." Contributions are being re ceived for the erection of a suitable memorial to Professor Haynes, and this means is being adopted to ac quaint his pupils and friends with jthe object in view so that they may j contribute to this fund. It has been suggested that the memorial be erected at Professor ' Haynes' grave, or at Leesville, where he worked so faithfully towards the education of the youth of South Car olina. It has been suggested also that the immediate family of Profes sor Haynes should have charge of the selection of the memorial. Donations to this fund may be sent to: C. D. Barr, Leesville, S. C., James F. Barrett,. Editor of the Brevard News, Brevard, N. C., or to Rev. J. J. Stevenson, Chesterfield, S. C. All names, with the amounts contributed shall be published later in the news papers. J. J. STEVENSON, Chesterfield, S. C. July 20, 1931. REVIVAL AT DUNN'S CREEK BAPTIST CHURCH IS BEGUN Announcement is made that Rev. L. C. Pierson, assisted by Rev. I. N. Kuykendall, is conducting a revival meeting at Dunn's Creek Baptist church, of See-Off Mountain. Re ports are to the effect that large crowds of interested citizens are at tending the revival. BAPTIZING AT LAKE SEGA IS WITNESSED BY MANY PEOPLE Fifteen people were baptized at Lake Sega last Sunday, converts at Glady Branch church. It is estimated that 400 people attended the rites of baptism. After these services at the lake, communion services were held at the church. Rev. I. N. Kuykendall, pastor, officiated at both services. C ? I U And now comes the information that a great scientist has discovered and had patented a process, fixture, contrivance, harness, thingabob, what you call it, that prevents a man's ,shirttail from crawling upward and outward. May heaven bless this scientist, and shower upon him the richest and rarest of gifts and hajj pinessl Word comes that all Protestant churches in Charlotte are planning a city-wide, union revival. That is good. There are going to be a great many revivals and a general return to the faith of our fathers before this thing we call "depression" comes to an end. SUGGESTS GOOD PLAN FOR MAKING SOME MONEY Editor The Brevard News: Why is there no "old rags'' man here? Every house keeper has rags to 'throw away, or burn; old wash cloths, dishcloths, towels, dusters, and so on. The paper mills of the country are crying for rag pulp. Why is there no "old rags" man in Brevard? In Central New York, at the writ er's birthplace, an honest village of 2, BOO people the day she was born, one that did not ape the airs of a city, and an honest village of 2,500, or perhaps a few hundred more, to day, the rag-man called every Satur day morning, took your rags, weigh ed them, gave you the money for them, leaving a red printed sign tc put at the gate and show when you wanted him and save his time. If an enterprising young Jew, like Solomon Levy in Edna Ferber'f "Cimarron," should come to be Bre vard's first old rag man, he would ir the course of time, own Main street. Why should not a Brevard man 01 boy, black or white, reap the reward not necessarily of Main Street, bui most certainly of a competent living wage? The writer has cleaned out tw< clothes closets and one kitchen cup board "catch-all" this week and has a choice assortment of old rags wit! which to start a new man. If he has any get-up-and-go to him ' he will appear at her gate in wha [The Brevard News of 1925 summei (Mary Copeland Blythe, reporter now Mrs. Robert Savege) called "thi artistic suburbs of West Brevard,' and say simply: "Have you any ol< rags this morning?" She will assent but ? if he does not come by next Sat ; urday she will burn them up. Inci ?' dentally, the writer promises to de t'vote the small proceeds of these sale | to the cause of Home Missions, whicl 'J we are told "begin at Jerusalem"? ] i in other words, right at your door o f!mine, or else just around the corner | The need for Home Missions can b L seen in at least three directions fror the front porch of the writer, who ha the honor to sign herself, Faithfully yours, E.
