THE BREVARD NEWS Pubished Every Thursday by THE TRANSYLVANIA PUBLISHING CO- Utt. Entered at the Postoffice in Brevard, N. C., as Second Otan Matter James F. Barrett Editor Mark T. Orr Associate Editor SUBSCRIPTION BATES (Payable In Advaac?) One Y.ear Six Months Three Months Thursday, January 28, 1932 BE TEMPERATE IN ALL THINGS, SAID GREAT MAN. Intemperate speech, hasty judg ment, readiness of judge and to condemn without any basic fact for such judgment o r condemnation, either is just as wrong and sinful as the violation of any other portion of the Scriptures, for these things are plainly described and as thoroughly omuhasized as the commandment which says thou shait not steal, or Kill, or commit adultery. Some of the best men in this county are guilty of forming these judgments, pronouncing them, and uttering their condemnation, without having one single fact upon which to base their words. An illustration of this was presented by several people hare during the past few days. It concerned a letter published in The Brevard News last week, a letter written by a faithful subscriber of the paper, and one of the best men in the county. Several citizens have emphatically declared that the editor ox The Brevard News wrote the letter ? an assertion that is false as Hell itself. One good old citizen in whom this paper has had the greatest confidence Hnd held him in highest respect, is quoted as saying: "I would go on the witness stand and swear that Jim Barrett wrote that piece." ) Well, if he did swear such a thing he would be swearing a lie in the whole cloth. A man of his standing and recognized honor and integrity is playing with dangerous fire when he makes such unwarranted statements, and we wish men like this particular eitizen would be more careful in their talk. He wouldn't for the whole world go upon the witness stand and per jure himself, knowingly. That is the reputation he bears. Yet he would stake that fine reputation, he says, in swearing to something that he knows absolutely nothing about. The editor of The Brevard News did not write one word of that letter; he did not see the letter, or speak to the writer on any word or suggestion in the letter, or know anything about what was in the writer's mind on the subject discussed in the letter, until it was handed to the editor with request for its publication. We are glad that the wife of the editor, and Mrs. Avery Galloway and Miss Helen Galloway, were with the editor when the letter was handed to him, with request for its publication. We're not relating these things in any interest of our own. The editor of Th? Brevard News is doing bis dead level best for advancement of this community and in service of the citizens of the county. He i3 not even remotely interested in or affected by anything that anybody thinks or says about him, his only aim being that to so labor and serve that he himself knows that he is doing the best h? can. So far as we are concerned the hastily pronounced judgments, the condemnations, or the praises of the people have absolutely no effect upon us. We work hard all day, and when the hour comes for stretching out on the bed of sleep we sleep soundly and well, undisturbed -by any thought or concern of what others think of us. j But men who have already lived their three score and ten, whose bent , forms and white hair, failing voice and faltering steps, offer irrefutable proof that ere long the Grim Reaper is to call at the home of that man and take him away forever, when men in this condition will stand and say they are willing to go upon the stand and swear to something about which they know nothing, the situation is dangerous ? for them. It is one thing to express an opinion, and another thing to make an assertion. The man who says that in his opinion, Jim Barrett wrote ( that letter or had something to do, with it, is simply wrong in such an opinion. The ma^ who flatly says that Jim Barrett wrote the letter, or had aught to do with it, is just a simple, plain, unmitigated liar. ? "I hear your sister Is married. Is she bappy?" "Very. There in only one (thing assays her. She can't bear her hua kand." oae can't expect everything." ? , VETERAN OF "18 CREATES INTEREST WITH LETTER i There appeared in The Brevard News last week a letter written and signed by a "Veteran 'of '18." The writer of the letter is one of the best citizens of the county, a business man, ! churchman, leading Democrat and a j veteran of the World War. In his letter this veteran made many good suggestions as to reduction of public expenditures. He also suggested plans that he believe to be good for the future of the county. We respect this veteran of the World War, and con sider him one of the thinking men of the county. j Without any intention of entering , into an argument with him about the statements made in his letter, wc so wish, however, to clarify one or two questions that were raised in hin splendid letter. The first is in reference to Prof. Jones. Our friend, in his letter, stat ed that Prof Jones is drawing pay from two jobs. The writer of the let ter is in error, as are many other citizens, as to this matter. Prof. Jone? is doing two men's work, but drawing but one pay for it, as we understand it. Prof Jones may be receiving too much money for his work; we're not discussing that phase of the matter at all. We do most emphatically as sert, however, that he is doing plenty of work, and doing it well. We arc confident that our friend, the Veteran j of '18, would not want to do anv one an injustice, and that is why we are calling attention to the fact in the case as to Prof. Jones and his work. He is drawing but one salary ? ar<l doing two men's work', or work that heretofore had been done by two men throughout all the past years that the present school organization work has been in effect.' The other question raised by the writer of the letter referred to the salary of the sheriff being $5,600 a year. Of course, every one under- , stands that this salary is for the com- , bined offices of sheriff and tax col lector, and that the deputy sheriff i and an office assistant are paid out of this $5,600 salary. As our friend stated the matter, it would appear that one man is drawing the sum of $5,600 a year salary, when the fact is that three persons are receiving their annual incomes from this one sum of $5,600 a year. These explanations are made by The Brevard News as a matter of justice to the offices of county sup erintendent and the sheriff-tax col- 1 lector, and we are confident that the writer of the letter will welcome these explanations, as we know that he wants to be absolutely fair to all people. He is that kind of a citizen fair and fearless, and intensely in . terested in the welfare of his county. BROTHER BROWN MAKES UP FINAL EDITION OF PAPER. In the death of E. E. Brown, foT many years editor of The Ruralite at Sylva, Western North Carolina lost a strong champion and JackBon county was called upon to give up a splendid citizen. Mr. Brown was of j that type of editor and publisher who glories in giving boost#, and 6eldom expressed adverse criticism. His work was essentially that of promoting peaceful progress and i e 1 a t ing through his columns such news as told of this progress. ; The widow, in carrying on the work will have advantage of ex per- . ience gained by working side by iiide ; with her husband in making The Rur- 1 alite a success. In event she finds the ' going hard, at times, there are num- ? erous men in the fraternity who stand ready to assist her in her journalistic work, for Mr. Brown left many, many friends in the news- . paper field all of whom would stop their own work any day that they could servt? that good friend's fam- ' ily in carrying on his business. i j THIS STATE WOULD SUFFER I IF AMENDMENT PASSES. Congress adopted an amendment to . the agriculture appropriation bill Tuesday which, if it goes through, | would deprive North Carolina of its ! share of federal aid in road con-J struction. This amendment would de-j prive states employing convict labor from sharing in the $125,000,000 ap- 1 propriation for road work. This state would have to abandon its plan of working convicts on the roads, or lose its share of the appropriation. Many interested citizens are con ferring with members of Congress in regard to this amendment The gov ernment takes position that federal aid is being voted for the purpose of relieving unemployment, and when convict labor is used, the real purpose of the federal aid program is de feated, as convicts are not paid any thing, and free citizens would not get any work to do through which they could sharp in the unemployment relief. The matter presents an inter esting question for solution. LET'S KEEP THE NEWS LETTER IF POSSIBLE. In the curtailment of public expenditures many things bf value must be sacrificed, and the passing of each is sufficient causc for genuine regret. We know that many, many things which have been considered of great value must be sacrificed if expenses are to be reduced, and expenses must be reduced if the State and Nation are to survive. But there is one thing that we would especially regret to see sacrific ed, and that is The University News j Letter. It has rendered invaluable j service to the people of the State, and has kept the citizens informed of conditions that can be obtained in no other way, generally speaking, than through such a medium as The News Letter. We suggest that the newspapers "chip in" and sponsor publication of The News Letter until such time as the university has the funds with which to keep this service going. A rate of pay could be worked out among the dailies and weeklies that would v/ork no hardship upon any one of the State papers. We have to pay for ofher service, and we say most emphatically that no newspaper in the State has more important infor mation or more accurate information j than that obtained through The Newt 1 Letter. j For Sale ?

SUPPORTS VETERAN OF '18 Editor Brevard News: It has not been a habit of mine to try and express my opinions through the columns of the papers, but I do wish to refer to an article in your paper of Jan. 21st and signed "A Veteran of Eighteen", making ment ion of the existing conditions in our county. I am a veteran. I may not know this man, but I think his heart in in the right place, and that he has handed us a good piece that we need to read and re-read ,and let it soak in good and deep. It is quite true that an 'article could be written in answer to this as long as Paul's Epistle to the Rom ans. It is not needed as I s?e it, for he has given us the milk in the coconut, and it makes n>e think of the boy that was trying to sell the young pups. *?? , He was advising the prospective buyer that they were Republican pups. Some days later he had the pups out again and was crying to the top of his voice, this way ladies and j gentlemen for your Democrat pups, and a politician (I think It was Will . Breese) "Say boy, the other day you | said those pups were Republican pups, i what is the trouble that you have made the change and call them Democrat pups?" His answer was ! that they have their eyes open now. This good man has gct_ his eyes open. I don't care what his politic."! or his religion may be, he is striking the vital spot. He is hitting the nail on the head and he hag told you something and I don't mean maybe. He should be considered ? high class gentleman, one that should be held in great reverence and fit to live in any community. He knows, as well as many others, the conditions that dirty politic* have brought about. Good men and women, where is our I remedy? We have one of the best; coufittes m' W???jrn Nwth Ca?oli?a4 What has been done to it? Political corruption has ruir?ed St. The Demo cratic and Republican politicians of this sections are two beans in the same pod, let's try and get rid of this vampire. Throw off the political yoke of prejudice and find some good con servative man or woman. We have them in this county to help us out of the wilderness and bondage of the conditions that politics have placed us in and help save our homes and county. We as citizens and taxpayers must get our eyes open as to the conditions. The remedy is the ballot box and it is through this channel that we have been nailed to the cross. I contend that the conditions we are in, are due to the politics and poli ticians that we have trusted as our leaders, and we need to clean out of this hotbed of vice. Under the conditions the politician . and political leaders fill their pockets. full from the taxpayers money of I; this country. They will pat you on the back and say "I like to see a stand patter," but he will stand pat with every pocket full of the tax payers money. He will see you labor, day and night. You scratch your head when ? it don't itch a bit and wonder how you will get money for the necessities of life, and pay the burdensome tax < that is placed upon us. He is a poli- : tician and a parasite and we as tax j payers of Transylvania have about all this dope we can digest. _ Let's vote 1 fot the man and slap this dirty, be guiled condition in the face. Let's ; vote for the man that has our count- - ies welfare and interest deep down In his heart Congratulations to the good man for the article above referred to and yotrrs for better conditions, regard less of politics.
