Announcement that lion. John H. Small, of Washington, I). C., and Mrs. Melnturff, recently come to Asheviile lo live, will address the citizens of Transylvania county at an early date on the question of re peai of. the national prohibition laws will prove interesting, to say the least. The meeting will be held in the county court house, and the pub lic is invited to attend. Mr. Small, formerly a member of Congress from th:.< State, is a noted speaker. Mrs. Mctnturff has often been heard over th_ radio by people of this section. C cizens of this community will he;. j all about the destruction of life and property because of the prohibi tion laws; the grafting and so on. Prohibitionists dread only one thing in connection with this campaign for repeal oi the prohibition laws, and that is the effect that the campaign will have upon the younger people who do not know anything about the hellish conditions that existed before fuohibition was adopted. The older people who know all about the graft ing, thv crookedness, the killing and the devastation wrought when whis key was a legalized commodity will not be swayed one iota bjj the power ful appeals and eloquent language of the imported speakers who are to come in the interest of repeal of the prohibition laws. The other side, however, will soon have its day !n court here, when sup porters of the prohibition laws will also hold a meeting in this commun ity and tell something of conditions that existed before prohibition, when the precious liquor business was "leg alized." It is a question that is ttned to cause much bitter debate during the next eight months.

ESSAY ON GEORGE WASHINGTON M ? Sandy McLeod. sen of Mr. and Mrs. Ilinton McLeod and an honor student of the Freshman class in the Bre vard High school, has writen an in teresting essay >on the life of Geor(rre Washington. ? Sandy portrays in his article many of the charade unties of this great man and the essay will be of interest to Brevard News readers at this time when citizens all over the United States and many foreign countries are celebrating the 200th birthday anniversary of George Washington. Since this February twenty-socond is the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of George Washington, it seems appropriate for the boys and ^U'ls to study his life, and try to live i';r him. On February twenty-second, seven teen hundred and thirty-two, the man who led the colonies to unite under one flag was born on a farm in^ West moreland county, Virginia. He re ceived most of his training from his mother, Mary Ball Washington, since his father died while he was still very young. She not. only tr.-^ht yo"??? , George the things all boys should know, but lived a modest godly life, which influenced his after life more than can be estimated. She was J?ot a boastful woman, for the one small reference to any compliment she paid George was when she sai, have the flgliCSFhis story U-cau^e uc. cuutua right out in h:3 book and bays he got it d;rect from tne Washmgtons. "It was," says I Parson W corns, "related to oie twenty years ago by an aged lady, who -vas a distant relative, and spent! much of her time with the famiiy." : Not much chance to discredit the i story; and Parson Wcems tells it as is came from the old family friend. ' W h.n George," slip said,'' was . about six years old, he was made the wealthy master of a hatchet of which like most boys, he was immoderately fond, and was constantly going about chopping every thing that came in his , way One day. in the garden, where he often amused himself hacking his mother's pea sticks, he unluckily tried the edge_ of his hatchet on the body of a beautiful young English cherry 1 tree, which he barked to terribly, that I don't believe the tree ever got the i better of it. The next morning the old ? gentleman, finding out what had | befallen this tree, which, by the wav.1 : was a great favorite, came into the; ? house and with much warmth asked ; ? for the mischievous author, declaring ' the same time, that he would notj have taken five guineas for his tree, j 'J Nobody could tell him any thing about j * it. Presently Georgfe and his hatchet! : made their appearence. 'George,' said j . his father, 'do you know who killed j i that beautiful little cherry tree yon- 1 i der in the garden?'. This was a tough ; question; and George staggered under i it for a moment; but quickly recover-' 1 ing himself, and looking at his father, ' . with the sweet face of youth brighten- j E ing with the inexpressible charm of ' ] all-conquering truth, he bravely , cried out, 'I can't tell a lie Pa, you . know I can't tell a lie. I did cut it , i with my hatchet,' 'Run to my arms I j : you dearest boy,' cried his father in j transports, 'run to my arms; glad , am I, George, that you killed my tree; . for you have jjaid me for it a 3 thousand fold. Such an act of hero . ism in my son is worth more than a i thousand trees, though blossomed , with silver, and their fruits of purest 1 gold.' "It was in this way, by interest , at once both his heart and head, that j Mr. Washington conducted George a with great ease and pleasure along s the happy paths of virtue. But wel! knowing that his beloved charge soon j to be a man, would bs left exposed to g numberless temptation*, both from ^ himself and others, his Tieart throb j bed with the tendcrest anxiety to make him acquainted with that] Great jj Being, whom to know and love is to ; possess the surest defense against p vjce, and the best of all motives to ^ virtue and happiness:" ;i ' Now there's the tale as it first saw j , the light of print. It Js plain the main j event was the destruction of a tree, j, The father put a high value on that 0 tree, if it had been something of little r value George would never have I leaped to high fame. If George had ^ followed nature's course for boys and ^ had denied any part in the incident, f he probably would never have become , Commander-in ?Chief under another tree at Cambridge; he probably would never have had his picture printed while standing up in a boat, and per e haps he never would have been our '? first president. * So when you think this over pos "> sibly George didn't cut that tree after * a!!. He merely said he did. e ? ' GEORGE WASHINGTON AND HIS HATCHET e , {Merit Michael > f, When George Washington was s quite a small boy his father gave him j.- a hatchet. It was bright and new. and George took great delight in going ' about and chopping things with it. i He ran into the garde?ft there L> lie saw a ti'e'e fh"St seemed to say to ] him. "Come and cut me down." t George had often seen his father's 2 men chop down the great trees in the a ; forest, and he thought that it would 1 1 be fine sport to see this tree fall C .with a crash to the ground, so he set j to work with his little hatchet, and 5 , as the tree was a very small one, it s did not take long to lay it low. 1 Soon after that his father came t . home. t j "Who has beer, cutting my fine . J young cherry tree?" he cried, "It was - ' the only tree of its kind in this ceun- J i try ..and. it cost me a great deal of j ? - money." ? ! He was very angry when he came J ? , into his house. i ! "If I only knew who killed that ;! cherry tree,'' he cried, "I would ? yes ? ?;I would." i . ! "Father!" cried little George, "I , j will tell you the ruth about it. I chop- , f ] ped the tree down with my hatchet.'' I j Ilis father forgot his anger. ? j "George," he said, and took the 1 j little fellow in his arms. "George, I 1 am glad that you told me about it. 1 1 j would rather lose a dozen cherry trees , ! than that you should tell one false- ; I F. W.
