Mr. Siniard told of an interesting
inc-.dent which occurred during the
Civil War and which he vouches to be
trv.e. A man and his son were hiding
in the cliffs of Sugar Loaf Mountain
in order that they counld not be found |
and made to enter the army. During ;
the time thev were hidden away, Mr. '
Siniard asserts, the two men panned
cut of a small branch near the
mountain, over 5400.00 worth of
gold dust.
"During the year of 1920 I took my
wagon to a small branch near Sugar
f.oaf." Mr. Siniard said, "to get a
load of gravel. After I had finished
loading, I noticed that my rusty
shovel had changed into a shovel of
gleaming yellow."
Further examination revealed to
Mr. Siniard that these yellow parti
cles were gold, and that they had
lodged in the rusty crevices of the
shovel in sufficient quantity to make
it look yellow. Mr. Siniard said that
it was after he showed the shovel to
his father. Mr. L. G. Siniard. that he
toid him of the two men mining $400.
worth of gold dust near Sugar .Loaf.
Mr. Siniard said that he returned
to the same stream and managed to
got a nice run of gold dust, which he
-ent to the late Capt. Chas. French
Toms, a prominent resident of Hend
rsonville, who replied by letter that
he believed Mr. Siniard to have made
a valuable discovery for the gold was
almost pure.
Further investigations by Mr.
Siniard and others revealed that
Sugar Loaf and vicinity was rich in
gold, the deposits being found in the
>ld rock quarry where stone was se
cur-d for building purposes, free gold
n the nearby streams and a rich
, coating of gold in the flint rocks and
clay banks. Several nuggets were
found on the Northwest side of the
mountain where a landslide opened up
the soil and rocks.
Mr. Siniard believes that the gold
vein which begins on Sugar Loaf
mountain leads through Brevard, pas
sing beneath the Brevard High school
; building in its course.
Efforts are being made to secure
several specimens for examination
and it is expected that Mr. Wood,
mineralogist at the Boylston gol<j
mine, will examine the Sugar Loaf
oin on his return here. ,

POIMS IN COUNTY
( Cowtinncd frotfi page one)
to take care of the. county affairs.
Put the proposition up to fOck and
some of the other go-Td home boys. He
.says to use common sense, now lets
use a little.
How do you expect the good far
mers to burn their 30 cent corn for
fuel and pay these salaries. Just
figure a little. It would take around
60,000 bushels of, corn to pay the
county expenses or salaries. Mr.
Editor, how much would there be left?
We must consider that all tax payers
have had from 50 to 75 per cent re
duction in the last three of four
years.
So why not live artd let live. Don't
take it out on the little kids.
Now let me make a proposition to
remove the cause. First, we all know
that dirty politics is a bad policy in
county government and has hurt
Transylvania county more than any
one thing. Let's call a mass meeting
of the taxpayers of the county ; divide
the offices between the two parties,
then nominate two candidates of one
party for each office. Allow each
party, for example, say two candi
dates for sheriff (Dem.) and two
candidates for Treasurer (Rep) and
so on. Put these all on one county
ticket. Let the voters sclent the
officers. This would eliminate politics
in the county affairs. Another thing
this would take it out of the hands ot!
political bosses. This would really be
better for the officer for he wouldn't
have to buy his officc.
Send a representative to the legis
lature who will .represent, the tax
payers and not the party who sent
nim. Let him fix all salaries.
Let's all shore the burden together
and save Transylvania county, the
best little spot in America.
Yours for success,

COWARDLY TO ROB
SCHOOL CHiLDRE!
( Continued from, page one )
rather folks didn't know about, bui
here's one that is thankful for the
fact that we've never had quite as low
down a thought as the one the Pen
rose Citizen expressed. That is to rob
not only the other man's children but
our own as well, of their birthright.
We wonder why it is that when a fel
low's taxes come due ? I mean the b;
grudging tax payer ? he hops 011 th.
idea to taking the schools away f: :i:
the children.
Some folks in offering a solution to
the depression ? A depression that i
world wide ? seems to blame it all on
the schools, and would rather go tars
free than have the children schooled.
The State's guarantee of a
months school would do this count:,
no good for any thing but schools an.-:
the extended school tax this count;,
has could not be taken to use for a: \
thing but school.
We'li venture to say that at least
two thirds of our county's sclvx
children will hr/' no further edu
cation than the high school affords,
and we think it's a shame to want
even one day of that taken from the-1
or to even put off getting of their
education.
We've read several suggestions and
heard of several more, 011 this sar: .
question but we believe the one to roi
our children the most unworthy one
If we'd ever thought of that w
couldn't look a child in the face.
Its rather funny, that idea. whr r
our county has just adopted the 5-1
farm program and decided to ha.
thoroughbred cattle and hogs an
pure bred poultry and certified see:'

turn our youngsters into an ignorcn.
bunch.
We're wondering why the Veterar
of '18 and Mr. Barton of Selica woul'"
let their wage comparison stop be

Gentlemen
Some time ago I was confronted with the problem of replac
ing my automobile, and being desirious of securing the most
economical transportation consistent with reasonable comfort and
appearance, I made a very careful investigation of light care snd
purchased a Chevrolet.
During the past ten months I have driven this car mure than
twelve thousand miles and find that my choice was wise. Although
this car was purchased prior to the opening of your business in
Brevard, I am grateful to know that any and all service can be had
on the car right here in Brevard.
I am very glad to recommend this car.
Very Truly yours,
