MR. LYDAY EMBRACES
APPEAL IN MESSAGE
G. T. Lyday, tax supervisor and one
of the best loved citizens of the coun
ty, makes an especially fine appeal
to the citizens of the county in an
nouncing that listing time begins next
Tuesday. In addition to stating the
facts in the case and citing the law
governing the listing of taxes, Mr.
Lyday goes further, and in his char
acteristic manner appeals to the pa
triotism of the citizens to come for
ward and cooperate with the list tak
ers, to the end that money may be
saved for the county and the tax
payers themselves escape the penalty
that is provided against those who
fail to list their taxes.
Mr. Lyday's appeal is the first we
have noticed in any of the county
papers wherein the tax supervisor
makes personal and patriotic appeal
while informing the tax payers of
the tasks to be performed. We arc
confident, that the citizens of the coun
ty will respond to Mr. Lyday's appeal
in like manner that it is made.
BETTER BE GETTING ? THINGS
HEADY FOR A BIG SUMMER.
A.-- we told you before, it would be
well for al! of you who have rooms
for rent, apartments to let or fur
nished houses that you will let out foi
the season, to be making your plans
for a big, busy season. The folks art
coming up here, in great numbers
and it is not long until the first of the
Kroup will begin to arrive. Many will
be here in May, and June will be fai
better than any June, from the stand
point of the tourist business, sine*
the days of long ago. Then July anc
August will tax the capacity of th<
town and countryside.
Upper South Carolina, especiallj
Greenville county, will send mor<
people to these mountains this sum
mer than have ever been here before
from that section. The great systeir
of highways, leading from everj
direction right into Brevard, wil
bring people who have never beer
here before. Folks in the larger citie?
have discovered only recently thai
they can- live in Brevard and Transyl
an.ia county during the summer or
the same, or less, cost than they car
remain at their homes in the hottei
sections, and they are coming, too.
Get things in readiness now. and b?
prepared to realize upon the coming
of the thousands who will be in this
community during the season.

THIS A MEMORABLE DATE
IS THE WORLD'S HISTORY
Fifteen years ago Wednesday, April
6. the United States officially and
formally entered the World War.
Heavy of heart. Woodrow Wilson en
tered the hall of congress, presented
his message, and Congress, with no
less heavy hearts, declared that a
state ot" war existed between the
United States of America and Ger
many. It was an official act that no
one coutd foresee the consequences.
No one could look down through the
days and weeks to follow and see the
awfulness of situations that were to
come.
Feverish haste laid hold upon the
American people. Bands were formed,
trained, tuned and turned loose to
make music that would deaden the
heartache and quicken the pulsebeat.
The draft plan was formed, spread
out, and gathered into its fold the
fairest of the nation's young man
hood. Cantonements sprang up, to re
ceive the lads who but a few short
years before that had been nursed
and nurtured at the breasts of their
loving mothers. Selections were made;
the hour of departure came; a moth
er's arms were unclasped from about
the boy's neck; the father's strong
frame was shaking with uncontroll
able grief ? and to the training camp,
then to the battlefield.
Throughout twenty months the war
raged. Then came, one day, the sign
ing of the Armistice. America went
mad with joy, but all was not joy,
for many who went away did not
come back. They were planted in
Flanders Field. Others came, maimed,
shattered. Hospitals were filled in
stead of training camps.
Just fifteen years agone, but how
forgetful are we!
Another group of the land's fairest
young manhood is now with us. What
ate we, as a nation, doing to prevent
Iher period like thn?- of fifteen
| years ago? Do wc write to our rep
resentatives about these things? Are
j we different? Have we forgotten?
1 Those who went then have not for
I
1 gotten. They are asking the govern
ment for a little cash money that the
government owes them. Do we think
enough of those who went away and
came back to write to our represen
tatives and tell them not to forget.
Just fifteen years, but think back
over it all, will you?
CONSISTENCY IN LIFE
IS BEAUTIFUL TRAIT.
Much of the happiness and troubled
hours of life come as a result of in
consistency. There is much joy to be
found in occupying a plane of the
grounds of common decency, but that
joy is dimmed and diminished when
a person is living an outward decent
life and is guilty of indency in their
private lives. It shows upon their
faces and is heavy upon their con
sciences.
Christianity is the world's strong
est force and power; the Christian,
that is, the person enjoying real
Christianity, is fortified with a
strength that can enable its possessor
to be happy under almost any circum
stances. But there is so much incon
sistency in this life that many of us
who profess Christianity derive but
a shadow of the substance that could
be ours if we were only consistent in
Christian living.
Christianity does not offer much,
however, to the person who is not a
Christian in the real sense of the
word. There is little need for any
one to pray for mercy who has no
mercy in their hearts for others. The
Lord hears not the words of supplica
tion coming from lips that are utter
ing hateful and untrue statements
about a fellow man. God does not love
any person who hates another per
son. One cannot speak the Truth in
1 the church and utter damnably, lies
on the street ? they will not mix.
It is a waste of time for anyone tc
ask Cod to bless himself and his fam
ily, and in the next breath ask Goo
to damn some fellow creature.
You can see these illustrations all
about you. The inconsistent person i.
always an unhappy person. You heai
a man leading church activities
who, upon the street, is doing his
best to tear some other man to pieces
and you see something of the gnawing
misery at his miserable heart? always
present with the inconsistent person
Next time you try to pray, jusl
think back over the week, and recal
whatever hateful things you hav<
said about someone, or whatever hate
ful thoughts you may have had about
another. It may help to clear the waj
1 for your prayers. We are told that
1 God is a Just God. We cannot deceivc
1 Him.
AS TO BANKS AND BANKING
i iw!:tor Drevard News:
Odd, isn't it?
Under present banking laws, banks
cannot operate unless the people
? deposit their money in them.
; As long as the banks operate and
are going concerns, the depositors
. money belong to the depositors.
If for any reason the banks close,
j then the depositors money becomes ac
tually an asset of the closed banks,
,and used to pay the accumulated ob
ligations of the banks, plus the add
ed tremendous costs of the vultures
1 set to work on the poor carcasses to
clean their bones.
Present banking laws authorize
banks to accept deposits on condition
that money so deposited be paid to
depositors on demand.
The same laws authorize the banks
to loan out into channels of commerce
and industry 85 cents of each doii:u
of deposits for various time periods,
2, 3, 4, 6, or 12 months.
1 If all, or a large part of the de
positors demand all their money at
the same time, the banks, having loan
ed 85 per cent of deposits to com
merce and industry, as authorized by
law, cannot comply with the law to
pay back all such deposits on de
mand.
This is a direct contradiction in the
banking laws and should be remedied,
so that under certain grave condi
tions banks could pay back to deposi
tors a part of their deposits, in some
degree of relation to the return pay
ment of loans to commerce and in
dustry.
i Under present laws should s bank
fail to pay any demand, even though
solvent in assetsj the law forces clos
ure and liquidation, Tirith tremendous
j loss to depositors.
I A National banking law that would
make fcr safety of depositors money
in banks would bring back into chan
nels of trade and commerce and in
dustry almost every hoarded dollar
in the country.
It is amazing that the only objec
tions to National banking laws sug
gested by congress making for safety
of depositors money in banks come
from bankers alone!
Why?
Over 2000 banks closed in the
United States in J931; none in Can
ada in more than two years. In Can
ada there is one banking system, ?
National. In the United states there
are 49 systems, one National, 4S state
systems, the latter intensely political,
and far less strict in regulatory laws
and inspection than the National sys
tem.
Congress would make a hit with
the people of this country if they
would study and apply the safety of
the Canadian banking syst-e-n to de
positors money in this country. If ai!
who have lost money in bank failures |
would write and demand of their sen- '
ators and congressman demanding ,
safety for deposits in bank?, such pro- 1
tectivc laws would be enacted de
spite objections from bankers.
Much ado hat; been mfi'de of power
of the hoarded dollar to strangle ac
tivity in commerce and industry, in
that every hundred dollars hoarded in
home or safety boxeB would, if de
posited in the bank have a credit
working value of ten times that
amount, or one thousand dollars.
The arbitrary charge of a dollar
a month by banks against accounts
that fall below $100 a month, is quite
likely costing the banks in deposits
several hundred million dollars in
North Carolina alone.
That much money back in the
banks, plus the ten times credit value
so widely advertised, would change
depression to prosperity. Not so many
years ?ago banks advertised widely
and vociferously for the dollar ac- |
count.

IN MEMORIAM
On March 11, 1932, at 12:30 p. m.,
the death Angel flew down to the bed
side of Sinthia Stepp Sentelle and
winged away with her soul to the
everlasting place of rest.
Mrs. Sentelle was before her mar
riage Sinthia Stepp. She was born
August 2, 1881. Married 0. W. Sen
teli August 1, 1902, and to this union
was born five children, three boys and
two girls. Two loysj ^Harvey and
Carl died while small. Mrs. FleeJ
Calloway of Pisgah Forest and Clyde
and Beatrice Sentelle of Penrose, N.
C., Rt. 1. survive.
Mrs. Sentelle joined Pleasant Grove
Baptist church in 1903 and her mem
bership remained there through life.
She believed in going to church, and
worshipping God.
No one is able to tell of the suffer
ing she bore. Some two years ago it
was necessary to remove, a cancer
from her breast, and some few months
ago a complication set in in her head
which medical science could not cure,
and from this trouble she died while
? visiting friends and relatives at Pis
gah Forest, N. C.
While visiting W. H. Sentelle, her
two first children died, and in this
home she died also.
, A chair is vacant in the home; a
smile is not to be seen, her presence
is missed by all.
i Four sisters and three brothers
survive of this pioneer family: Mrs.
I Minta Covai of Greenville, S. C., Mrs.
Susan Chandler of Concord. N. C.,
' Mrs. Laura Radford and Mrs. Lizzie
' Burns of Pisgah Forest, N. C. Mit
. chell Stepp of Greenville. S. C\, Min
. yard Stepp of Shelby, N. C., and Will
Stepp of Pisgah Forest, N. C.
She was laid to rest in Little River
: cemetery after a brief funeral ser
; vice conducted by Rev. Carl Blythe.
assisted by Rev. J. E. Sentelle. The
' songs sung were her favorites.
The pallbearers were the six broth
I ers of the bereaved husband: W. H.,
: Arthur, Jethro, Glover, George and
Nicholas Sentelle.
The entiye community joins in
? sympathy with Mr. Sentelle and child
ren. May God comfort them and help
. them to live so as to be able to meet
, this loved one in the sweet bye and
bve.
I A FRIEND
: SIGNS OF BETTER BUSINESS
I Textile mills continue to speed up
operations. Many plants are being
renovated and newer and more mod
em machinery is being installed to
replace older units. Numerous ad
ditions to plant buildings are under
way and contemplated. The Stevenson
(Ala.) Hosiery Mill has resumed fu!!
time operations after being closed
down for some months, and 75 ma
chines are running day and night.

IF YOU HAVE A FRIEND
WORTH LOVING
(Carrie H olden)
II you have a friend worth loving.
Love him; yes and let him know
That you love him, ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words ne'er be said
Of a friend till he is dead?
If you hear a song that thrills you.
Sung by any child of song. Praise it.
Do not let the singer wait deserved
praises long.
Why should one who thrills your
heart
Lack the joy you may impart?
If you hear a prayer that move-: you
By its humble^pleaditig tone.
Join it. Do not let the seeker
Bow before its God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of two or three in
prayer?
If you see the hot tears falling
From a brother's weeping eyes
Share them, and by kindly sharing
Own your kinship in the skies.
Why should any one be glad
When a brother's heart is sad?
If a silvery laugh goes rippling
Through the sunshine on his face.
Share it. 'Tis the Wise Mans1 saying*
For both grief and joy a place.
There's he# 1th and goodnes in the
mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.
If your work is made more easy
By a friendly helping hand. Say so.
Speak out brave and truly.
Ere the darkness veil the land.
Should a brother workman dear
Flatter for a word of cheer?
Scatter thus your deeds of kindness
All enriching as you go leave them.
Trust the Harvest- giver. He will
make each seed to grow,
So. until the happy end,
Your life shall never ,'ack a friend.

Keep Your
On This Spot
Each week there will ap
pear in this corner of the
Editorial Page of The
Brevard News a little mes
sage that will interest
you.
THIS WEEK
There was a lady, a nice, in
telligent lady, who wanted a
cress (nothing interesting about
that ? lots of the ladies want
dresses, but. this particular lady
had in mir.d a certain type of
dreBs, and being intelligent, she
wanted it at as reasonable price
as possible, (right she was).
But this lady had the idea
that to procure just what she
wanted, at the price she want
ed to pay, it would be necessary
for her to go to a larger town
than Brevard (wrong). So, this
otherwise nice and intelligent
lady drives her car forty miles,
wastes a day, and gets the dress,
(sad).
It was a beautiful dress, made
up well, best of material, perfect
fit, just what the lady wanted
and should have (fine).
The sad part of this story is:
that, the lady could have pro
cured the identical dress, same
material, same workmanship,
made by the same company, IN
BREVARD at several dollars
less (it's a fact) and then she
would have been LIVING IN
BREVARD instead of STAY
ING here.
