&1QST IMPORTANT BUSINESS
OF THE X AVION BEGINS IN
ISRt; l AKIf S'EXT SUNDAY.
Adoption of u tax bill that will
balance the budget, contribution of
thought and money to the task of re
lieving unemployment, peace confer
ences ami economic confabs, all are
most necessary acts in our national
life. Bui none of these, nor all of
diem combined, is the way to perma
nent peace and progress, reconstruc
tion or recovery.
; here is a great movement on foot,
i ...v -i. throughout the entire na
t. .1, and will begin in Brevard next
t .. iduy that will lead the way to
and sane living. This movement
leads back to old-time religion, recog
nition of the Fatherhood of God and
the Brotherhood of Man. The citizens
o i lh: community who attend the re
v.va. arting at the Brevard Baptist
church ;ie\t Sunday, and become in
terested i.i serious manner, will find
comfort that nothing else on earth
i an giv. them. The messages that will
conic t'm-th there are obtained in a
Book ; hat never changes. The laws
that will be explained there are im
muUibli . The promises that will be
repeated have never, in all the
world's history, failed those who ac
cepted them and lived worthily of
their fulfillment.
Some of you laugh at these sug
gestion*. All right, laugh! Then look
about you, at the failure of yourself
and uf all men in whom you had
placed your faith, and laugh again, if
you can. History proves to us that
LVci'i nation that placed gold above
God. power above purity, riches above
religion, have fallen, and their
iKjoples suffered untold agonies. We
have had a great nation, with great
moti a? leaders. We built up great in
stitutions- -in finance, industry, edu
cation- We grew rich, so rich that
America was envied by the whole of
the ve>t of the world. Our house of
clay has crumbled, and banks that
wc thought were holy shrines became
the scene and site of wrecked lives
and shattered hopes. Men we thought
wero uperhuman became whimper
ing puppets when stripped of their
su: Toundiiigs of showy wealth and
pcv:cr. We have lived on top of , the
world, the world that men built, and
looked with mixed feelings of pity
and scorn at the less fortunate ones
?f the earth. Today we are in the
depths of despair, not knowing what
the morrow will bring. Those to
whom wo went for what we wanted
in other days are themselves in want
now.
All of this human m.sery and suf
fering is come upon the people, not
because of; famine, drouth, storm, or
from any natural causes whatever.
Nature has done her full duty toward
us, as evidenced by the fact that all
praueries are bursting with grain,
and all cold storages are filled with
meats: never in all the world's his
tory has there been such an abund
ance of food ? yet people go hungry
in the midst oi it all. Warehouses are
packed with cloths, and mill workers
are idle because of an overstocked
warehouse, yet people are in need of
clothing; bank vaults are swelled
with hoarded money, yet frantic bus
iness men see their doors closed be
?ause they can get none of the need
ed cash, and weakness comes upon
men, women and children because
they have no money with which to
buy food and medicine. There is an
abundance of everything, yet people
suffer because of being unable to ob
tain needed things from these burst
ing storehouses.
Go to that revival next Sunday, or
to your own church, or get your Bi
ble down, if you can find it, and read
the promise that has never been bro
ken. which says ?
"Cw unto me, ye that labor and
ore heavy ludeti, and I will give you
rest." ? j

LAKE TOXA WAY SUNDAY
Rev. Chapman will preach next
Sunday morning at the Lake Toxa
way Baptist church, having charge of
the 11 o'clock services. The public is j
cordially invited to attend the ser- j
vices.
GALLOWAY ASKING
NO PERSONAL VOTES
(CorJiruud from Pagu G/w)
i no criticism to offer, but should, in
! stead, ask the public to accept this
?as further (though possibly not con
] elusive) proof of the fact that "'all
great minds run in the same
| channel." I might, however, add, that
if the principles advocated by me
were original with Prof. Verrier then
by his failure to announce them he
puts himself somewhat in the posi
tion of the fellow who went to mill
but forgot to take along his "grist."
i I appreciate Prof. Verner's saga
city in the analyzation of the matter
; in question as I also do his frank
admission of the fundamental ijn
| portance of matter concained in an
opponent's platform. This is what I
call "political broad-mindedness."
I fully believe it to be the duty,
as well as the privilege, of every one
asking the support of the people, es
I pecially under the extra-ordinary
conditions now existing, to declare
? openly his position on matters of pub
i lie importance, and to take into his
'confidence, in a 'ccme-let-us-reason
together" sort of way, the people
whose support he is seeking. Other
wise how shall wo know whether we
are to be "given a stone when we
are asking for bread," or whether we
shall be "given a serpent" when we
had asked and had reasons; to expect
a "fish?"
My final request to the voters,
I many of whom I shall be unable to
see personally because of unavoid
able hinderances, is that you let your
good judgment and your conscience
be your guide.
I am asking the support of no one,
not even'my kinsfolk, upon the basis
of personal friendship, nor for the
fact that I may or may not associate
with some certain class; or that I do
or do not do, in my daily life, the
things which the "elite" may approve
or disapprove. I simply ask that you
support, in the legislative race, the
man in whom you have the greatest
confidence, both as to his ability and
his willingness to serve you.
Add to this his attitude towards
those things that have or 'have not
made for the betterment of the com
munity generally during both his
nublic and private careers and you
have a foundation upon which to
compute what you may expect now
and in the future. The verdict of the
voters of the county thus arrived at
will be entirely satisfactory to nic.
I). A. R. TO MEET MONDAY
Regular meeting of the D. A. R.
will be held next Monday afternoon
at the home of Miss Annie Jean
Gash, at the appointed hour. The
president urges all members to be
present.

will happen unless you
Kill the Beetle and Kill the Bug

these pesky things like fog lifting in the morning sun
shine. There is but one thing to do, and that is, TO KILL
'EM!

they kill your crop. We have the preparations and the
