M BREVARD NEWS .i^U&shcd Every Thursday by THE TRANSYLVANIA PUBLISHING CO., Inc. Knt.'i . at the Postotfice In Brevard, N. C., as Second Class Matter .laisej F. Barrett Editor Three Months Thursday, March 24, 1932 EASTERTIDE POINTS THE ll'.l 1" TO THE END OF ALL TROUBLES AND DEPRESSION At this season of the year, when every bursting bud, every blade of green grass, every sign of a new life that comes forth from winter's bed of <Ie;sth, speak eloquently of that time when the Hope Of the World, the Re deemer of All Mankind, came forth from the dark tomb to bring light in to the lives of men. The whole world will once more study the story of that jwuchless event next Sunday, but how tYv.' vvill grasp the full significance suit; the boundless promise contained in tl.ttt wonderful story. We shall he;.-' it '>11 Sunday, the-story of Him wh? died, was buiied in the tomb, ami arose and burst through that tomb or darkness that men might have light. But on Monday we shall turn oi!" thoughts to other men and J oak *>.i) .hem for salvation, for re lief, for comfort. For two thousand years men have been doing this very thing, yet all those to whom they hava lucked for relief, for comfort, havo lived a while and passed away at tho -etting of the sun, and other leaders ?-prang -.ip, ruled for a while and jutted vii to join that innumerable caravan. dart T. Orr Associate Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES (Payable In Advance) One Year . Si>: Months with the Christ; He is the <>nc Constant, consistent friend. We who believe on Him, and have studied his record ?nd acceptcd His word, know that not a stain rests <>n his character. His enemies laid plots to catch Him in some evi! pur piysv. they turned on Him the x-rays t.f hostile investigation, but the ?stronger the light the more splendid his cbaiacter. Pilate admitted that he found no fault in him. His bitter foes hired men to slander Him, yet these base fci'-e lings could not agree on any ?harge ..gainst Him. His was the only jjciiect life, without sin or flaw or peculiarity. He never made a mistake. He lU'v.jr had to retract or correct anything he said. He gave the world ?a rcii,-' >n fitted to the needs of all classe-. ail nations, all ages. To chnng.; t is to mar or ruin it. He spok>\ ind the angry sea became still :.t hi.- . ot. and the storm poised on .silent vingst. The water at Cana blush. . into wine; the tame leaped like the hi.i' at the lift of his hand; the dead awfclvd to lift- at the sound i f hi? .Mice; ho forgave sins and changed the scarlet red into snow white; the burdened sinner came to him staggering, and went away with lofty tread; criminals came to him weepi.-_ and departed rejoicing; the wicked became holy, and the dead lived again; he revolutionized, and bound .nen together in holiest broth erhood. He acted like Cod. Every mirac!" He wrought b?:v witness to His claim to be divine. The infinite wisdom He displayed; the unfathom able !? .v he manifested to a sinning world; :he sinless life He lived; and the superb kingdom He established -amon;,' men, the strongest and largest organization on earth ? all give un mistakable proof of His divinity, and proclaim Him King of kings and l.ord of lords, the risen Christ whose love and life are brought so forcibly to our attention at this Eastertide. CAN YOU HANG ON TWO MONTHS LONGER ? Those of us who have been on the tagged edge, so far as business is concerned, ought to put up the battle ?if rmr livep for the next two months. ?Come April and May, and with their passing, then there is promise for all "f us. It would be a tragedy to flght the thing these long months and .vears 'hat have challenged the very last ounce of our endurance, and then be forced to give up in these W warning few weeks of struggle. Every, hotel boarding house and private home in and about Brevard -will be filled to overflowing this summer. We see some of you laugh* ing at this suggestion, but you also laughed when -we -told you about the Cesar's Head highway a few yeara ?back; you also laughed when wa larked of the new bank and its open ing) you sniggered Shout the cotton mill, some of you did. You have been laughing outright about the gold mine pioposjtion, so you have. Well, laugh ft this if you wM? pretty little old town of oora if .trofng to tie filled to the brim this coming sumgier season With summer lounsts. We are going to have to make most reasonable rates ? ratea in keeping with the times, you know, but if that is done, and just a little well directed advertising is sent out, all that you have to do it to get your house in order, and bid them welcome. 'fake a new grip, tighten your hold, hr.ng on. The end is in sight,' the race is almost won. Hang on! Cltt: BANKS MUST EAD THE PROCESSION. All thinking Americans were ^mediately enlisted in support of the -jiti-hoarding movement, started in Washington some few weeks ago. Any -ne knows that money in a sock is u.ioless money, and helps to prolong Uk; agony of the nation. The purpose ?>1' money is to circulate, and that part :i' it that lies hidden away and out of .ise is of no use whatever to the .^ople of the country. Response to the campaign against hoarding has been marked, and the people, as have signified a willingness to !o their part. The next step in the program is to ii.'ucate the banks against hoarding. V hoarded dollar is a hoarded dollar, t matters not where it is hoarded. What is the use of getting John ?.i\>wn, private citizen living at tho head of the creek, to get his ten dol ars out of the old sock and put it in i bank, if the bank is going to hoard .hat same ten dollars in its vaults? That ten dollars might as well $>e in ?i sock as in a bank vault, if it is to ->y kept in the bank vault. This paper advanced the thought n the very beginning of the campaign igainst hoarding that the banks .vould have to take the lead in this ight From all reports from nearby "ities however, the banks are still '.carding their money, until the vaults nv all but busting, while about them jusiness men are breaking because of '.heir inability to .obatin bank credit ufficient to carry on their business. The dollar, to do the work that tho leaders of the anti-hoarding move ment have in mind, must be put into ic hand of the man who will pass t on in the channels of industry 3nd commerce. Hoarding will end when "hose who are hoarding stop hoarding, md this means all hoarders ? Bankers \nd bootblacks alii':e. APPROVES OUR ST AX I) t'itoi- The Brevard News: While reading the March 17th : ,-uc of the Brevard Nvws I noticed i editorial headed "Mr. Ewbank's ' ntemptible Charge I'njust.''

Every one has the right to see for ?iniself but I feel that you have seen in the proper direction. Stand up for our county ministers, stand for fumsylvania county. For no doubt hese and other men will be going .ibeut preaching the same gosnel, ?riving the same careful warning when the prohibition questions will have been settled. Rev. Henderson's letter was a God-send to the readers of the Bre vard News. Some time ago his letter <> the speaker Mr. Small W.s read "ith much interest and this last let "??r draws interest as it comes from h" Rev. Mr. Henderson. Keep up your tight Mr. Henderson, von are no doubt right. Sirs. Frank Jenkins reveals speak asies as far back ts 1889, and asks '?'or sensible plan before repeal is made. All these articles are to the point ".nd show how the people of Transyl vania county see things. Bring on the good news, from every where show how you and your read ers stand. God bless your every christian "(Fort. Back up the local ministers, Sincerely yours, NICHOLAS SENTELLE. "^nrose, N. C. March 22, 1932. I EGGS AND ONIONS Editor Brevard News: I wouldn't mind to give you just a few words again if you have a little space you would like to spare. You know we mountain folks get off from home awhile and get, well not home sick, but reallv wish we were at home, most especially of Sundays when we have so few places to go to, and hear so little when we get there. We miss the vrood N. C. singing more than anything else. I wish a number of Kood singers from up there would come ' down hero to show these folks where singing started froirt. Well I noticed a piece in your paper from Mr. Halsell way out in Okla homa, about having wild onions for some days with scrambled eggs. .Well, Mr. Halsell you haven't got anything on us folks down here in (Jreenville county, S. C. We '? have" thickens that lay the eggs with thfl - don already in them, ro all we have to do is to scramble the eggs pr>d we have scre.mbltxl egga and wild onions at once. Weil our carburutor wouldn't ear bu, our differential was wrong, our spark plugs skipped until we oiled them up good with South Carolina green ooIlard3, that put them to go ing. Our buttery almost ran down, our tuner g.:* to running too slow; so we oiled thc..i up with S. 0. cow peas with weavils in them to season. So we put in our throttle with our foot on the starter and can't get them on the stopper; and so we are moving right along. Haver.'t had any winter to amount to anything. We like it here on that account. Other things are not so pleasant, but we make the best of it, we can. Times very dull here as well as else where. Glad to have any of our N. C. friends to see us anytime. Respectfully, ? J. W. Burns. ?'.-..y, S. C. FROM MR. 'NORWOOD Editor Brevard News: The writer's present home it at St. Petersburg, Fla., on the West side of the great Tampa Bay, that land locked harbor connecting with the Gulf of Mexico. At St. Petersburg we can just see the line of the opposite shore in the distance some twenty-five miles away. That shore is the famous Manatee of sea-cow section, named for an animal which looks like a small hippopotamus, that used to feed on the turtle-grass in the rivers in large herds, but alas, only a few specimens now remain. I always longed to visit the Manatee section famous for its orange groves and truck farms. A few days ago my desire was granted in a peculiar way, which I thought my friends and the readers of the Brevard News might like to hear about. I Within the last few years an auto mobile ferry has been running from Pinellas Point on the West to Piney Point on the West of Tampa Bay, thus saving drivers going to points in South and East Florida almost fifty miles of travel, an hour or more's time and much good gasoline. tjuite recently the Tampa Bay Fer ry and Transport company, in order to accommodate the increased travel, built another ferry boat capable of carrying twenty-two automobiles without undue crowding and in order to advertise the new addition to the ferry fleet, offered prizes, one for each state in the Union, for the best letter telling what the Tampa Bay Ferry and Transport company's mot to, S. L>. & ,S. stood for. Of course hundreds sent in letters: my solution was Safety, Delight and Speed, but r.o one gave the correct unswete which was: "Service, Divi dends and Safety". However, the ferry company were so pleased with the letters that they decided to give the writer of the best letter in each state one share of stock in the comp any and a trip to Ringling's Museum and Menagerie at Sarasota with all expenses paid. Mrs. Norwood won the prize for North Carolina, but did not feel strong enough for an all day trip, so the company kindy consented for your humble scribe to go in her place. In due time we received a letter setting the date anu schedule for the trip. As I left home that morning I said to my wilfe, "Well, since you won't come with me I'll have to pick up another girl on the trip." You shall hear now how I got the girl ami had a splendid time. Promptly at 8:30 o'clock ?.n a bright March morning we assembled at the Ferry office in the Florida I Arcade and entered the waiting cars i for the trip to Pinellas Point. I was , fortunate in getting a luxurious pri- I yate car owned by a Mr. M ? . who invited me to take passage with him self, his wife and a young lady and we stayed together during the entire trip. The smart looking ferry-boat "Pinellas" was waiting for lis at the dock, and our car was driven to its allotted place, the wheels bli;ck"d by courteous attendants; brakes set and stout chains rigged at bow and stern, the bell is rung, the whistle blows, and we are soon skimming lightly over the sparkling waters of Tampa , Bay. There is absolutely no motion as we glide along under a sky of deepest blue, with water of emerald green in which we see countless fish of all sorts and sizes swimming, gulls and pelicans are flying overhead and the warm tropical sun is shining brightly as we watch the western shore fade away and the eastern one come rapid ly into view. The trip actually took forty-five minutes but the time seemed much shorter, as we heard the whistle an nouncing our arrival at the Piney Point dock. The ferry is finally secured and oije by one the cars drive on shore and ouf motoreade is formed for the drive to Sarasota, where the Ringling Museum and Menagerie is located. All along the splendid highway we noticed the growing vegetables and orange groves with the golden fruit hanging on trees of glossy green. These truck farms and orange groves oxtenddd for miles and miles and the soil was a rich black loam. We pass through Manatee, Bi-ad enton and Palmetto and arrive at the John and^Mabel Ringling Mus eum at 11:00 A. M. This is a fine looking building built in the form of a quadrangle and enclosing a patio or Italian garden at the rear. Here we are led by guides in yachting uniform through the various rooms and picture galleries and the beauties of the principal paintings are pointed out and described. Many parts of the museum have been brought from European palaces and mansions and built into the structure; even tiles on the roof are imported. Many of the picture lined rooms have as a background the very easily floors and woifc'Aliat have aeen transported bcchiy. ititi reset in rooms and gnltrr i?s bui't to receive th"m. For thirty years, Mr. John Ring ling coiluctad ihc paluviugB and works of art which are housed in this nru;tum and the architect, Mr. Phil lips of Chicago, had no easy job to plan a building to fit them. We spent two hours gaving in rap ture at these masterpieces secured at a cost of forty million dollars and housed in a three million dollar build ing. The pictures are admirably grouped and arranged according to artist and date. One could spend months and months nnd then fail to absorb the wealth of beauty which lines the walls of each room und gallery. All the famous artists are repre sented from almost very country of Europe. There were exquisite mantelpieces of marble and carved wood each leaf and tendril unbelievably perfect in detail. The floors were inlaid and one we particularly noticed was of teak wood, dark red in color, almost black with age. We visit the Italian garden and ad mire the fountains, flowers and statu- . ary. This garden was designed by Mr. Ringling. A collonade porch is built around three sides and a plat form and railing of stone connect the two wings of the building together. An immense bronze statute of David rises sixteen feet in the center of this patio and the loggia is crowned with dozens of beautiful marble statues. It was indeed a restful spot with its green lawns, bright flowers and falling water. But it is now dinner time and we are driven away to Central Park Manor Hotel where a bountiful meal is heartily enjoyed. After a brief rest we are driven to ! the winter quarters of the combined menageries of the Ringling Bros., I Barnum & Bailey, and Sparks C'r_ cusses. Here we see a herd of forty ele phants, lions and tigers, and every j animal you have ever heard of .Two mcthei camels with their babies are loose in the field and let us stroke j them. The zebras don't kick as the boys crowd around. We see six of these striped ponies beinir trained for a chariot race. The chimpanzees in the monkey-house have great fun with a ladder and ropes The giraffes gaze at us with their heads sticking over a fourteen i foot fence and porcupines ate at our feet. The lions don't ever roar at us and the mother tiger has four kittens. A cat is asleep in the den of one of the lions. We see snakes, seals and hippopotami and come away feel ing we have had a very enjoyable day. The ferry boat is waiting for the re turn and in less than schedule time we are back home again. We are sure we voice the senti ment;; of the entire party in thank ing the Tampa Bay Ferry and Trans pert company for their kindness in transporting us, and Mr. John Ring ling for permitting us to nee the Museum and Menagerie. Ernest TI. Norwood. WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF HAYWOOD COUNTY j (Wayne tville Mountain* tr) ' James F. Barrett, editor and pub lisher of The Brevard News and Western Carolina Tribune, two of the bost weeklies in the mountain region, recently carried an editorial thai throws a compliment to Haywood County that many of our own citizens hesitate to admit. He terms Haywood Corinty as one of te very best Coun ties in all Western North Carolina. What more could u non-resident of the county say? We ar reprinting this editorial and would give almost anything we own if every knocker of this county would read it. The newspapers and public spirited citizens of this county have tried every way possible to convince some "doubting citizens" that, without a doubt, Haywood County is now en joying better business that almost any other section of the state. Regardless of all this persuading some still fail to grasp the full meaning of it. The best method would perhaps be to have these "doubters" visit another section of the state and be convinced first hand that "there's no place like Hay wood County." Every day we hear residents of this county express themselves as be ing dissatisfied with the conditions here. A similar remark was made recently in the company of a county official who immediately took up the remark and said, "there's dozens of loads leading out of this county if you don't like it, and if you are too lazy to walk and can't afford to ride, I'll buy you a ticket or carry you out myself." To this "perfect suggestion' we said with a loud voice, Aniert. We honestly believe that this meth od would be a "sure cure'' for the j detrimental chronic knockers. In behalf of the loyal citizens of Haywood County, the Mountaineer thanks Editor Barrett for his word ( of cheer. '? f GLADE CREEK NEWS I .!

I .M and Mrs. Edward Owenby and WHO PLACED POPE ABOVE OUR LAWS? (The Biblical Recorder) The Pope is getting more imperious; he is declaring that the children of all Roman Catholics who marry non Catholics must be brought up in "the Church" or the marriage will be an nulled. We had supposed that our marriage laws were made by our var ious states5 and that the right to an nul them was reserved by the states that make the laws. Who has given the Pope or any outside Potentate the right to pre scribe the conditions on which a mar riage will be legal among us? If this is not mixing church and state with a vengeance we do not know what to , call ' it. And yet at the mere suggestion 4 that being a Roman Catholic in this country involves a double allegiances in civil matters our Romanist frigffiH? are up iij arms. They tell us wh^. good citizens they a3J; how Catholic's have served in our wars; what good Americans they are. Now here is a case in point Let them tell us in this J instance whether the Pope has a right to prescribe conditions i nder which our marriage laws will apply. Is the Pope to be obeyed ?nd will they at his behest disobey our marriage laws, or will they disobey the Pope and stand by the civil laws? Let them be explicit about this so that we dull non-Romanists may understand. This , double allegiance is one of thfc '1 dangers confronting our country ? a menace to the future of America.
