THE BREVARD NEWS Pubished Ev?ry Thursday by TAB TRANSYLVANIA PUBLISHING CO., Inc. Entered at the Postoffice in Brevard, i N. C., as Second Class Matter ! James F. Barrett Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES (Payable In Advance) One Year $2.00 Six Months 1.00, Three Months .60 j Thursday, August 13, 1931 VISITING LAWYERS APPEAL TO THE CITIZENS HERE. Every cloud has a silver lining, and ! there can be no shadow without a light somewhere nearby. Much as the citizens of the community deplore the necessity of their appearance here, yet there is genuine pleasure in hav ing the many out-of-town lawyers in the community. New acquaintances are being made and new friendships formed that will be pleasant in all the years to come. First and foremost is Judge H. Hoyle Sink, who used to be a lawyer until he was promoted to the bench, and even now those who observe His Honor closely may often see expres sions on his face which clearly indi cate that he would delight in step ping down from the bench and take a place at the bar. It seerns to be the unanimous opinion of the com munity that Judge Sink is one of the fairest and most impartial judges ever holding court in Transylvania county. He rules his court with a smile that is contagious, and the cor diality emanating from the bench is returned thereto an hundredfold by lawyers, litigants, witnesses and spectators. Solicitor J. Will Pless, Jr., as often stated before in this column, is look ed upon almost as a member of the local bar. He lived here as a lad, and has been coming here so many years as a lawyer, that it is hard to place him in one's mind as being a citizen of a small town like Marion. He was a favorite here in years gone by, and his popularity groiys with each court period spent here. There is a kind of a "Cal Coolidge" respect in the community for At torney Taylor, of Raleigh, chief counsel for the bank commissioner. He talks about as much as Coolidge does. Perhaps it is because he says so little that most people of the town are talking about him being such a smart lawyer. That's the way silence rewards a man, you know. G. Lyle Jones, a Macon county pro duct who has become one of the great lawyers of the slate, working day in and day out with an eager watchful ness that reminds one of an expert catcher playing on a good ball team, alert to every play being made and watching closely the position of each player. Courtesy seems to be his watchword, and constancy his life's motto. The people here often speak of Mr. Jones. Then there is Felix Alley, soft voiced, eloquent, master of words and ready reader of human character. His lofty ideals were garnered in the grandeur of Whiteside Mountain, and his broad outlook upon life from its eminence. It was there that he learn ed to love beauty and to admire big ness. In most tender manner he knelt beside the trailing arbutus in early springtime, as the frail beauty push ed its way through protecting leaves to announce a new season. Summer would come, and with it all the wild flowers and blooms and blossoms of the mountains, reflecting every hue and color of cloud and sky. Summer would pass, and winter roll around, ?&ith its snows and strong north winds, and great naked cliffs of strength and endurance stood out in bold relief against the sky. Mr. Alley learned nature in nature's school. There may be half a dozen people in the county who do not know Felix Alley, but certainly no more than that number. And there is J. Bat Smathers, leav ing a Haywood county farm to stand at the head of his profession. Dig nity, and a marked pride in his pro fession, are outstanding characteris tics. Law means more to him than mere formal rules and regulations ? it is something alive, vibrant, con Crete, too sacred for trifling, too ser ious for frivolous minds to deal with. His work in the court room is inter ?eating, Instructive and inspiring. ' From Rutherfordton comes Fred D. Hamrick, of pleasing personality, alert, with deep interest in the client's ?welfare marking his every feature and quickening every muscle in his body, yet, with all this marked inter est in his client there is profound re Dpect for opposing counsel and kind liest consideration for the more or less frightened witness. He seems to | ? weigh every word of evidence with ? the same minute care that a good pre- 1 ; scription clerk gives to weighing and mixing the v.arious drugs in com pounding a prescription. Mr. Ham- ; rick is snaking many friends during his stay in Brevard. For many years people about here have been hearing the name of Newt Moody, of Murphy, spoken by mem bers of the local bar in tones of high est regard. Many have often won dered just why the name was so popu lar among members of his own pro fession. Well, he is here during this court, and no one wonders any more about his popularity. Quiet, unassum ing, the perfect gentleman, an intel lectual giant who speaks only when he has something to say, and when he does say something his words com mand the respect of court and bar. Mr. Moody simply draws people to l him, and they like him and admire j him. Among the younger men who ar? i forging to the front in the profession j of the law in this state is that stal wart McKinley "Edwards, of Bryson | City, here for his friend Ralph Fish j er and the commissioners. Many law l years older both in years and in ex- ( 1 perience, openly seek Mr. Edwards' J advice and counsel in trial of cases j and on points of law. He is over six j feet in stature, straight as an arrow, j with magnetic personality, and un-| ; limited power indicated in his every movement. Many people here have be come attached to him, and already predications are being made as to the young lawyer's great future. R. B. Overton, now of Canton but originally from Brevard, numbers his friends in this section almost by the population. He is the youngest visit ing lawyer here for the court now going on. His friends in Transylvania county are watchng with eager inter est young Overton's work in Canton, and his every success will be a source of joy to his friends in Brevard. And last, but not least, is Jake F. Newell, of Charlotte, the man whose hair has turned iron gray and whose heart has always been of pure gold. He is a lawyer, and more than a law yer. He is a leader who has never sought leadership, yet his following is immense. He is a teacher to whom thousands listen in rapt attention, al though he has never sought an oppor tunity to teach. With him, the laws of God and Righteousness are su preme and our laws incidental there to, and must not conflict with the Great Law, according to Mr Newell's code. His acquaintar.ee is extreme, yet he has never sought a new acquaint ance. People come to him because of his qualities of manhood. I Brevard is happy in making these acquaintances and in renewing old ones. All citizens have been concerned about the lawyers here, wanting them to have all the comforts and the greatest enjoyment while in the com munity. Members of the local bar have left nothing undone in making these visitors feel at home, and the laymen are anxious to assist the local lawyers in every way they can in this happy task. I TO THE PEOPLE OF TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY : | I wish to make this public expres sion of the desire that my successor as County Superintendent of Public ; Instruction, Prof. J. B. Jones, may receive from you the cordial support and sympathetic co-operation without I which his heavy labors will be ser iously handicapped. Prof. Jones has shown himself to be an educated gentleman of high scholarly attain ments and an administrator of marked capacity, and I trust that he will enjoy a successful term of his arduous and responsible position. I wish to thank those of the peo ple who have so liberally and heartily helped me during a time of much dif ficulty and distress to keep the schools going and to cross the criti cal period between county and state operation. Now that the strong hand of the state has taken over the greater part of the financial burden | of the public schools, the operation 'ought to be greatly simplified and the burden reduced. I am glad I was able to have the opportunity to carry the county system across the bridge and . I have the warmest sentiments of j 'gratitude and appreciation for all j those who helped us do it. j To the teachers who stood to their 1 tasks through the recent financial troubles and with the increased loads, j I repeat the expression of thanks I have publicly given before. I am glad that most of them were retain- , ed under the new system; and to those who were not, because of the I limitations of the new state policy, 1 1 extend every good wish that they may also find happy and remunerative oc cupation, and patiently await the coming of the time when they may again resume their work under bet ter times. As I said once before, any Transylvania teacher of the year 1931 carries a recommendation in the mere fact of service through this, . stormy time. i I wish particularly to thank thq i bus-drivers and mechanics for the . splendid way they carried on their ] work, without a single accident for ] the whole term of my service, and ] that with run-down equipment which the financial condition of the county could not adequately remedy, and the < worst roads in years. Those , men were real heroes. I never P*"*J along the Gloucester Bridge road and looked at the precipice on i-s edge without thanking God for Ke"net McCill'f steady nerves. I used w have bad dreams at night, in which an overturned bus figured, and . vowed more thtn once that if I ftox through those years without one, I would try to do something to show the Almighty my gratitude Maybe l will yet. To those devoted men, the five McCalls, two Fishers, Fred Mil- 1 ler Carl Baynard, Tom Couch, Walt er ' Hinkle, Berlin Owens, Clyde j Blvthe Paul Roberts, Ben Jones, Wallis' Gillespie, Cecil Galloway, Bruce Watson, Robert Duckworth, Eugene Henderson, Clarence \Vhit mire. J. H. Parker, Freeman Comp ton and Harold Khpatiick, are du the thanks of everybody in this coun ty I hope the same good driving and good luck may characterize the ser vice of their successors. To get up before daylight, crank a cold truck n the dead of winter, and get the chil dren to school on time has been no small labor, especially when one eon siders the pay they got. The public mav have had some times when they felt like complaining about jome de tail of the service but when they re flect uoon how the work wentthrough without accidents and, on the whole, with high efficiency under the bad conditions, they may themselves on the same record of the future shall duplicate it. It is hoped that better roads and busses may be afforded soon, and this ought to make for improvement. The janitors aiso deserve appreci ation for their hard work. The jani tor at Rosman last year may have saved the heating system there by his prompt discovery of defects. Those at Brevard kept theirscnools clean and warm, and I would be r miss if I did not acknowledge the ef ficiency of their services To my associates on the Board 01 Education of which I was secretary I wish to render hearty thanks fo the way they stood to their task in period of such trying difficulty. They I got the schools through They set up a standard upon which the future mav naturally improve, but whose ideals will long remain in this coun ty The member of that Board who still remains on the new one, Mr. J. M. Galloway, was named Chairman oi the present Board, and I bespeak for him the whole-hearted support of all good people while we work togethei to get our county on it* feet iallv educationally, and morally. Ma> pe7ce, prosperity, and co -opera? 'characterize our present and future condition. | I would like to thank each of th School Committeemen by name tmi 1 there are seventy-eight of them, anc I trust that this word of sincere ap preciation for the helpful co-opera tion I had from them may carry wit! it a message of hope and encourage Iment for the future. Not paid foi their labors, and often taking hifc . valuable time at critical mome"^ 'T .their business, these committeemei I are not nearly as fully rewarded fo' 1 their work as many public servant. I are. They are the foundation stone. I of the public school system. The; choose the teachers. They hold th ! community to the support of th< 1 schools. They deserve the utmos 1 resnect and sympathy from ever; lone and I bespeak for them the con jtinued good-will and earnest assist ance from all those who wish th<M children and their communities to d-. velop into the highest forms of socia and civil life. I hope to write a few words fron time to time on the subject of the lm provement of our school sys en?' at this time I repeat my sincer^ thanks to the good people of th ! countv for their confidence in me dur ling the long years as teacher aiid n^ 'term as Superintendent in the greai |S "??& to m.k. o?, childrer useful ?d patriotic NOTICE Having qualified as Administra trix of the Estate of A.

God's Law is the only stand- j rd, God's Righteousness the only 0 ighteousness ; by sin we have incur- j ed condemnation; by faith we re ?ive justification, "all have sinned . nd come short," but the righteous- _ ess of God by faith in Christ be- x ames the righteousness of the be ever. c? All the way through Romans one ? ears the individual names of Paul's riends and fellow laborers, with his iscriminating'and hearty praise of *? ach. It is clear that he has faith in 8 hese men and women; he believes in ' hem and relies on them. Consider 1 he effect on them that Paul's confi lence in their Christian fidelity would ? laturally have. ' There is no motive much more stit- . ing than the consciousness that ' omebody believes in us, is trusting 1 ind counting on us. Whatever is ine and noble in human life responds o that appeal. Soldiers who feel ( hat their country is relying upon heir fidelity, children who are con- ' icious that their parents believe in ' hem, friends who are heartened by ;he assurance that some folks com- ! Dletely trust them ? how much of the >est in all of us has come because we 1 lave been the object of SOEMBODY'S FAITH. A Connecticut volunteer in The American Revolution has written ; :hat George Washington paused for ; a moment in front of his company md said simply, "I am counting on , you men from Connecticut." And the ' recruit clasped his musket in his ' arms and wept with the devotion which Washington's confidence evok ed. Would not the sixteenth chapter of Romans have a similar effect on those who read it? , A PRAYER 0 Thou Loving and Tender Father in Heaven, we confess before- Thee in sorrow, how hard and unsympathetic ing last week with Mr. Aiken and relatives. , The many friends of Mrs. W. F. Garren of Asheville will be sorry to hear that she is sick in the Aston Park Hospital, but glad that she is improving. Miss Mildred Williams and Elon Williams were Brevard visitors last week.

O Father, forgive this our sin, and lay it not to our charge. Give us grace even to alleviate the crosses and difficulties to those around us, and never to add to them ; teach us to be consolers in sorrow, to take thought for the stranger, the widow and the orphan. Let us charity show itself not in words only, but in deed and truth. Teach us to judge as Thou dost, with forbearance, with much pity, and indulgence; and help ue to avoid all unloving judgment of others, for the sake of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who loved us and gave Himself for us.
