BREVARD SHOULD GUARD
WELL THE INTERESTS OF
ALL ORGANIZED CAMPS
IN THE COUNTY.
Brevard, as a tourist center, owe
much to the Summer Gamps.
Throughout the year, and every
year, the Summer Camps are working
for Brevard and Transylvania coun
ty, as the camp owners and directors
write letter after letter to people ev
erywhere, praising this section as the
best place in the world to be during
the summer season.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been brought into Transylvania
through the Summer Camps.
Every citizen of the community
ought to be on the alert in the inter
ests of these Summer Camps.
One day last week a boy came to
one of the camps here from a Sou
thern city. Soon after his arrival the
lad became ill. The camp authori
ties immediately placed the boy in
the infirmary, called in the physic
ians, and did everything that could
be done. This boy was isolated,
pending diagnosis of the case. The
little fellow's parents came, and be
fore attending physicians could diag
nose the case, the parents took the

boy home.
Camp officials, fearful that some
contagious disease might follow,
called in the county health officer,
Dr. Charles L. Newland, and had
famous physicians from Asheville,
Charlotte and the state department of
health, at Raleigh, all of whom de
clared that no danger existed. It was
soon in evidence that the boy was ill
before he came here.
Yet the camp officials, most desir
ious of taking every precaution, re
quested Dr. Newland to place re
strictions about their camp, which
was done. All citizens who are fa
miliar with the attitude and efforts
of the camp officials have been loud
in their praise of the manner in
which these officials adopted every j
precautionary measure.
The deplorable part in the existing 1
siuation was that played by our own 1
Brevard people. Many here were
passing the word along that "a camp
has been quarantined." It was an ab
solutely false report, and had it been
true, Brevard's summer season and
camp season would have been killed
dead as a door nail, and none would
have suffered more from such action
than the Brevard people themselves.
Thoughtless spreading of false re
ports can do immeasurable harm to
Brevard and Transylvania county.
These summer camps mean some
thing, either directly or indirectly, to
every citizen of the county. Why j
cannot, we, then, realize the import
ance of guarding well the best inter
ests of the camps, for the camp in
terest is our own interest.
Please, next time you hear a
thoughtless citizen circulating any
kind of unfavorable report about any
camp in the county, sit down with '
that talkative brother or sister, and
talk the matter over with them. It
is not only discouraging to the camp
owners and directors to hear of Bre
vard people circulating false and in
jurious reports about the camps, but
it is also the best way for Brevard to
commit suicide as a summer resort.
NO CONTENTIONS ABOUT THE
SEE-OFF SCHOOL AND MRS.
ALL1E B. HARLEE'S WORKt
There is one bright spot on the
horizon of human affairs which is a !
source of satisfaction to all who are ,
acquainted with the facts or familiar
with the great work that has been
done about this particular place.
That spot is the attractive little com
munity out on See-Off mountain
where Mrs. Allie B. Harlee has been
teaching school and living with and
among and for the people of that
section during the past several years.
Russia has displaced her royal regime
with substitution of the powers of the
soviet; that little big Gandhi has
meekly smiled the British Empire
into a new mood that brought about
adoption of new methods in India's
affairs; Mussolini took Italy away
from the king, and is now battling
with the Pope for superiority; Ger
many, a few years ago the proud, ar
rogant, self-appointed leader of the
nations of the world is now grovel
ing in the dust, eating out of the
bands of tboee nations she believed
she COM& ceagaer on battlefield;

Democratic form of government and

W1 the counties, cities, towAs 'and
townships what they may do and
whft they shall not do; the coooty
board of education has been changed
and juggled and juggled and chang
ed, with superintendent after super
intendent Bitting on the throrie of the
mighty; old teachers have been drop
ped and new teachers employed;
schools have been consolidated and
switched about in a manner that sug
gests a checker game. All these, and
many, many more, changes have been
effected in the affairs of men, but
when it comes to selection of a teach
er for the school out on beautiful
See-Off mountain, it never occurs to
any one to suggest any name other
than that of Mrs. Allie B. Harlee,
, bless her noble soul! Loved by par
ent, pupils and people, Mrs. Harlee is
doing a work in her community which
will be living and growing when
'monuments of marble have decayed
and fallen and their base is all cov
ered with wild weed and running
vine.
When you are strolling about town,
look toward the East where the tree
tops on the peak of See-Off moun
tain seem ever to be sweeping the
sky, and picture to yourself the
scenes of activity in the shade and
shadows of those giants of the forest.
Dotting the mountain sides and nest
ling in the hollows between the hill
ranges, there are many mountain
homes, and little children are play
ing about or doing the chores of car
rying wood from the thicket or water
from the gushing spring. Maybe, at
the particular time, it is the neigh of
the unfed horse, the lowing of the
cattle awaiting their supper meal, or
the bleating of the lamb that is lost
from its mother, that is demanding
the attention of these children. But
whatever it is, they are children, ?
boys and girls who must have a teach
er and teaching. Then see a woman,
tall, stately, beautiful, with the love
light born of her labor shining upon
her countenance ? a woman most
highly educated, reared in an atmos
phere of wealth and old-time South
ern refinement. She is there, on See
Off mountain, living in her work and
i loving it, and, in turn, being loved by
all the people, both pupil and parent.
What a lesson for those of us whose
j false philosophy lead us to worship
i the false god Ambition, and seek by
| hook and crook, device and design, to
1 place our ambitious upon round after
round the rickety ladder which we, in
our ignorance, call fame!
Mrs. Allie Harlee is God's bene
diction to the people of See-Off
mountain. Some day the historian will
write chapter after chapter relating
the results and detailing the ac
complishments of the work so well
done by Mrs. Allie B. Harlee, who,
to most of us, now, is just a school
teacher, teaching out at Dunn's Creek
school, on See-Off mountain.
AN AFTERNOON WITH FARMER
AND MRS. FARMER MILLER.
Most people in Brevard know T.
G. Miller as agent for the Southern
Railway company, Brevard office. In
that position he is affable, efficient,
alert and on the job. But the best
thing to do is to visit Farmer T. G.
Miller and his good wife in their new
home at Penrose. It was the pleas
ure of the writer and his wife to
spend Sunday afternoon with the
Millers, and it was a most enjoyable
event. Mr. Miller purchased the
Boyd place early in the year, and !
this is his first season as a farmer
in Transylvania county.
Great fields of corn, fine as you
ever saw, give evidence of the good
work that has been done by the Miller
boys during the spring and summer,
and small grain crop is alse very
good. Then there are the cows, the
chickens by the yard full, and a drove
of white turkeys that suggest
Thanksgiving and ChristmaS-'But it
was the June apple tree, and then to
the plum trees, that capped the cli
max. We have long been fond of T.
G. Miller, depot agent, but we like T.
G. Miller, the farmer, much more.
Maybe it is because of th# bushel of
June apples, a basket of plums, a bag
of tomatoes, and armful of cucum
bers, that we found in our car when
starting home.
A small farm in Transylvania
county is equal to an estate in any
other state, and excels a king's palace
and lands in any foreign country.

Milo as the girl who got the breaks?"

Why not? It's an armless joke.

GOSSIPING ONE OF THE
MOST damaging AND
DANGEROUS ACTS.
In a recent issue of The Lexington
Dicpntch, Editor Witherspoon, one of
the >est wiitorial writers of the $?te,
wtt deploring the practice e<f 4pM^ip
ing, especially when the good names
at innocent people were being be
smirched by the tattling tongues of
| idle gossipers. 'He was directing at
ftention to the tragical result of such
gossiping, in which two perfectly
'splendid young women were made to
| suffer, all because of the readiness of
| men and women to grab hold of a
; little morsel of gossip, pass it on and
| on, each one handling the subject
making just a little bigger and more
! vulgar and more damnable than it
was when each received it
You've seen them ? these infernal
gossipers. "Did you hear about how
. . and that's the way they start
talking. And their eyes pop out on
stems, as the sordid tale goes, and
the muscles of the face twitch ,and
their cheeks pale and flush in their
excitement of telling the damned tale,
even as the tide ebbs and flows, and
they wave their arms, and fold and
I unfold their hands, and their nose
swells out and then shrinks up, and
! they smack their lips, and wiggle
their ears and paw the ground with
their feet, and pant and blow and
puff, in the gladness of telling some
! thing dirty or detrimental about some
one else.
Next time some one starts talking
I to you about some one else, just
; watch the varying expressions on his
I or her hellish face, and the eel-like,
ape-like, snake-like movements of the
muscles, and the dancing, snapping,
sneaking eyes.
Better still, just stop the brute a
moment, and say: "Let's go to that
person, and then you can tell your
story in his or her presence." Then
you would see the gossiper and slan
'derer get down on his yellow belly
and crawl into his hole.
BRAGGING ON THIS SECTION
(AshevilJe Times)
"This is a wonderful section and I
am much .impressed by what I have
seen today of the constructive farm
progress "that is underway here,
j William F. Schilling, of Northfield,
iMinn., member of the Federal Farm
| board, said late yesterday after a
survey of the agricultural situation
'in Buncombe county.
"You already have the methads
that will bring prosperity to the ag
ricultural interests of this section,
he declared. "It would be useless for
me to make any suggestion along that
line, but you must expand that pro
gram to reach more of the little fel
lows. Cooperative efforts are success
ful where everybody joins in to help."
Mr. Schilling is considered an au
thority on the livestock and dairy
jing industries, representing this
group on the Federal Farm board as
| a result of his success in heading the
| Twin-City Milk producers associ
ation, a cooperative organization that
'now has a cash surplus of $2,600,000
'and which recently loaned the banks
'of the community $900,000. He is an
ardent advocate of the cooperative
principle in farming.
"Our community is entirely agri
cultural, we have no other sou^e of
revenue, but through cooperative ef
forts we have managed to keep pros
perous, we have a nice surplus for
our association, and we don't owe a
cent of money."
Turning to the situation of western
North Carolina farmers, Mr. Schill
ing said the small farms must have
more cows.
"You mean you would advise a slo
gan of 'a cow on every hill' in west
ern "North Carolina?" he was asked.
"Yes," was the ready answer, "only
make it two cows ? two cows on every
Kill!"
"Theremust be some way to push
this splendid program that the Farm
ers Federation has developed out to
include the little farmer to a great
er extent than it does now. You must
get the little man in as well as the
big man. Do that and you will see
this section one of the most prosper
ous in the country."
Mr. Schilling agrees with other ex
perts who have said that western
North Carolina is ideally suited to the
dairying industry. He would like to
see more livestock on the hillsides
around Asheville.

CAN YOU PRODUCE MILK AT IS 1
A GALLON?
( By J. F. CORBIN)
Can you produce cream for twenty
five cents per pound or milk for fa
tten cents ptr fa Itmf
The sbo#e prices u? aboot^wtet '
some dairymen are having: to sell
products for now. When you ask
those fanners If they can live at such
prices the 7 will reply that they can
hot, except under one condition and
then only long enough tc allow eco
nomic conditions to adjust them
selves. This condition is "have good
pastures where tlie cows can harvest
their own food at the very lowest
cost possible." The above figures are
twice too low and yet only the farm
ers with good pastures can stand it
for a brief adjusting period. Then if
pastures will save you in a lean per
iod they will make you money in fat
periods.
We should be able to start pastures
much cheaper now than few years
ago and much cheaper than a few
years hence. Now is the time to sow
the seed for your pasture. Some few
farmers in the Rosman Community
are sowing grass and clover seed and
looking toward a livestock farm pro
gram a few years ahead. Let's get the
spirit.
Several kinds of pastures: 1, ro
tation pastures; 2, temporary; 3, per
manent pastures, and poor pastures.
A rotation pasture is one m which
you plan to bring the land back to
cultivation soon and seed should be
used that are not hard to kill out
such as orchard grass, tall oat grass,
herds, and any of the clovers. A ro
tation pasture has many uses: 1, hay;
2, pasture; 8, improves the land; 4
prevents washing and" leaching oi
plant food; 5, adds beauty to the
farm.
A temporary pasture will last onlj
a year generally and some or all oi
the small grains together with crim
son clover, vetch, and lespedza are
sown.
Permanent pastures are pastures
that we plan to leave on the land foi
several years. The same seed and
methods are used on this as the rota
tion pasture except blue grass and
white clover is added which will re
main from now on with reasonable
care.
Poor pastures. No seed at all is
used, no fertilizer, and no particulai
I method ia used in preparation, oi
time of sowing. All the others you use
generally some fertilizer, sow at s
particular time, definite varieties anc
amounts, and methods that have
j proven to be successful.
