Rockefel ler, Jr.. to testify that the dry law is all wet, and should be repealed! Right upon the heels of the adop tion of the federal tax bill, greatly increasing- taxes or. the rich, Mr. Rockefeller "jines up" with the re pealers. Boys, when an ox is gored, he bel lows loudly! He and his father, young John say.-, have beon credited with pay ing $15,000,0.00 to $20, 000.0J0 into the various funds of tin prohibition movement from 1900 up the time the 18fh amendment was adopted. Now young John says the total of all such gifts was less than $350,000. He makes this ex planation to show that he and his father . iv not such rabid prohibi ten! as the people thought. Fun ny that young John would wait twelve years to make this explana tion. isn't it? Oh, how the rich hate to pay taxes! Let the common herd pay taxes. Let there be a place where John's miners can buy whiskey, and pay a tax upon each ami every drink, there by reducing John's taxes! Nothing else in the world would have induced John 1). Rockefeller, Jr., to make the statement published to the world Tuesday morning, ex cept this passage of the tax bill -which hit John so hard. Young John's daddy took Nature's storehouses many years ago, built a fence around the precious premises, brought oil l'rom these storehouses, and built a fortune that young John is now guarding. He kept wages at lov. ebb. and dished out doles to e' , thereby purcl sing public o; : . -:n ?.) uphold his Ift.holy and un fair wage system. The Rockefellers, have always made g. ats of their workers. Every great gift they made to chari ty, institutes and foundations, came not from Rockefeller funds, but from money that should have been paid to their workers 'in wages. I. ek. -feller's employes footed the bill in these "charity" funds. Now. young John wants to pass tlu- payment of taxes onto these scapegoats of his. Young John wants the sale of liquor legalized, so the fellows in his fa<:urits and mines can pay, with each drink, these high taxes that h ve been placed upon the rich. And the American people will swallow young John^s bait hook, line and sinker. The American people have a way of heeding the words of the rich and ridiculing the words of their own kind. That is why a few men in America ?possess all the wealth, while the rest Of the nation's 125,0(^,000 scramble ?for bread and house rent. The rich cannot afford to pay taxes; they are NOT going to pay taxes. They would repeal the 18th amendment, the Ten Commandments, the Twenty-third Psalm and the Lord's Prayer before they would pay taxes. Poor young John! Shrewd young John. The tax bill gored you, and you bellowed , oh, so loudly! ONE SIIOILD BE WILLING TO II ELI' HIS OWN CAUSE. The Brevard News is tremendously interested in the welfare of every one who is struggling against the great odds of the day and time. If within our power we would gladly give unto each and every needy per son not only the necessities of .life, but throw, in some of the comforts and luxuries* for good measure. It appears' Co us, however, in the study of ,somp cases now "on charity." that all has not been done by some of these people that could be (!; no- ? bj themselves. For illustra tion, a certain man in this county v.r.s about to lose his milk cow last I) :ccmbor through sale under mort gage. The amount owed was less than $20. A friend stood for the amount, that the cow might be left to provide nulk and butter for the ch" home. Nearly six r.onthi hove gone by, and that man has not as yet paid one jrcnrij oa bis debt. He came to the friend wh-3 had stood for him one fey last week, and stated that the holder of the rawrt* jage was about to sell the cow. "How much have you paid on th? debt?" the man was asked. "Nothing." was the reply. "You mean to say that you have not paid even one dollar on that ac count since last December?" was the nsistent demand. "I ain't made a dollar since last December," the man replied. Now, the point we make is this: That man could have made one dol lar, and several dollars, since last December, if he had tried. He is able bodied; he knows how to chop wood; he knows how to grub, and clear new ground; he knows how to plow; he knows how to dig ditches. Some :>eople in his community would have employed him to do some of this work had the man gone to them and drum med up some work to do. Of course, he couldn't have procured a position :.hat paid a handsome salary; per iaps the wages he would have re ceived would have b"en low in omparison to what he received a few j years ago. But thirty days work at j Arty cents a day would have lifted j ? lie mortgage on that cow. We main- 1 tain that he could have obtained that . much work in the six months gone by. A man thinks but little of his own hildren who will not make any kind sacrifice necessary to save the cow ..poii which his own little children lepend for milk. There may be many instances of .ike nature. We are inclined to be lieve that many fellows could be .working some place, if they would go out and hunt work with the same degree of dogged determination that ; hey hunt some one to sign a note or ond or give them money. There are numerous cases where i women and children have no oppor- \ unity whatever for helping them-; ?elves, and these must be aided. , There are some instances where able j odied men are at the end of the ow, and are worthy of aid and as -istance. There are also a great umber of men who are not making >.ny effort whatever to find work to j !o, taking advantage of the depres :ion to live upon the charity inclined people of the community. I I IE PRAYER CORNER (From the Files of Long Ago) '?THE GEORGY SHOES" "A few years ago," said S. D. Gor- j Ion, "I read a simple story in "The , unday School Times' that brought a i amp in my throat. The writer told j t a South-bound train stopping at a ation near Washington City. At the ,=t moment, an old negro with white: iair tame hurriedly forward, and 'ambered on the last coach as the j .ain pulled out. He was very black,] ;id very dusty, and single occupants i ?f seats looked apprehensive as he hufiled altng looking for a seat. But ! >e did not offer to intrude, but stood | it the end of the car, looking with ? >ig wondering eyes down the car. He ? vas evidently very tired. Then a I young man offered him space in his j :eat, for which he seemed very grate- j 'ul, and with childlike simplicity be- ; ;an talking. "He was going home 'to Georgy; ;ad been up in Virginia for years, ! with the rare old slave loyalty ser- ' ving his old master between tunes j while earning his own- way. Now his j master was dead, and he was going : hack down to the old home state, | back to Georgy,' and the words came softly while his hand tenderly patted the seat cushion. Clearly Georgia was the acme of happiness and content Cor him. As the train boy came -hrough, the young man bought some | :andwiches for the old negro. He was very grateful: 'Yes,' he was hungry, and had walked several miles to get to the train. He couldn't spend money "or victuals; 'Money's too skase fur buyin' things on the road,' he said. I was lovin' to fill up arter I done reach Georgy.' "Then the conductor came in for he tickets. The black man anxious ly fumbled through one pocket after mother and finally remembered that lis ticket was pinned to the lining c his hat. 'Dun tuk ebery cent I ?ould scrape up to get dat ticket,' he laid, 'but dat's all right. I kin wuk, un' folks don't need money when day's lome.' The conductor had passed on :o the next seat behind. There sat a ;iiabbily dressed woman, with anx ous frightened face, the seat full ->f bundles, and a pale' faced baby in !icr arms. . . "Tickets, please.' "The woman's face flushed, and hen grew white and set, as she said I haven't any.' "'Have to get off then; sav.e me i' ? trouble of putting you off.' The woman sprang up with ter ?r in her big eyes. 'Don't put me My husband is dying; the doc ?? said he must go South; we've j i'l everything left to send him. v.-w. he's dying, must go to him. But have no money, don't put me off, v God ? my God ? if you ? ,' Her i'.a poured out in excited jerky sen ices. But the conductor could do thing. He must^ obey his instruc ts or be discharged. The woman back sobbing in the seat. The .?c. ductor turned back to get the old K.1I1II !?? .Ill II H ? I II II I* ' ' TJSS If ELIr BOUND TSAIN 'tfskxM Tom Gr iy Jay down on a barroom floor, Having: drunk so much he could drink no more. And fell asleep, with a troubled brain, To sLfewa that he rode on the hell hound train. j The engine with blood, was red and damp, And dismally lit with a brimstone lamp. An imp, for fuel, was shoveling bones, As the furnace roared with a thous and groans. The boiler was filled with lager beer, And the devil himself was the engi neer; The passengers made such a motely crew Church member, Atheist, Gentile, and J ew. Rich men in broadcloth, beggars in rags, Handsome young ladies and withered hags, Yellow and black men, red and white, Chained together, a horrible sight. Faster and faster the engine flew; Wilder and wilder the country grew ; Louder and louder the thunder crash ed; Blighter and brighter the lighting flashed ; Hotter and hotter the air became, Till the clothes were burned from each quivering frame, And in the distance they heard a yell, '?Ha ha!" cracked the devil, "we're nearing hell." And, oh how the passengers shrieked with pain, And they begged the devil to stop the train. But he capered about and danced with glee, And laughed and joked at their agony. "My faithful inends you have done my work. And the devil can never a pay-day shirk. You have bullied the weak and robbed the poor, And the hungry brother have turned from your door; You have gathered up gold where the canker rusts, And given full vent to your hellish lusts; You've drank and rioted and murder ed and lied, And mocked at God in your hellish pride; You've paid full fare, so I carry you through. For it is only right that you get your due, For every laborer is worth his hire. So I find you safe in my lake of fire, Where my fiery imps will torment you forever, And all in vain you will sigh for a Savior," Then Tom awoke with an awful cry: His clothes soaked wet and his hair standing high. And he prayed as he never prayed before To be saved from hell and the devil's power. And his crying and praying was not iu vain, For he surrendered to Christ And never more rode on the hell bound train. CARD OF THAS'KS We wish to take tnis means of ex pressing our sincere thanks for every kindness shown us at the time of the death of our wife and mother and also for the lovely floral offerings. These kindnesses have tended to soften our sorrow. T. B. REID and family. Farmer is Killed by Truck An attempt to change seats with his dairy helper while his milk truck was in motion, proved fatal Satur day to E. D. Dodson, of near Mebane. The truck hit a bridge head and Dod son was killed by severe shock. negro's ticket. ' 'I'se feared you'll have to put me off, boss,' he said humbly, 'don't ex pect a poor nigger like me to raise enuff fur a ticket.' The conductor harshly ordered him off the train at the next station, saying there was some excuse for the poor woman, but none for him. The train began to slow up for the station. The old negro qnietly dropped his ticket into the lap of the woman saying, 'Here's yo' tick et Missus. I do hopes yo' find dat hus band o' yourn ain' so bad as yo'se afeared.' And before her dazed eyes could take in what he was doing, the old man had shuffled out of the car, and as the train pulled on( he was seen quietly plodding along, still 'bound for Georgy.' " And there was no mention of Christ in the story, but one who knows the old typical slave class, to which he belongs, needs not to be told of the motive down in his heart. That's what obedience, unanalyzed undeliberated about, meant to him. Have you ever worn the "Georgy ?Shoes"? Have you ever tramped to Georgy? If some of us might find out the old man's cobbler, and get some "Georgy" tramping shoes. The way of obedience is a way of sacrifice.
