EDITOR FAIN MAKES \ APPEALING SPEECH Declares Repeal Fight Is Led By Those Who Want; In Business. (HendarsonvUle Times-News) ""The W C. T. U. organization of Hendersonville met in the First Bap tist church Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock, with the president, Mrs. W. C. Powell, presiding. After singing and a prayer by the Rev. W -Smith Martin, Methodist minister, Mrs. Powell presented J. T. Fain, editor of the Times-News, who spoke on the prohibition issue as it confronts the country at this time. Mr Fain said that present day opposition to the 18th Amendment and the prohibition laws which has turned some former friends of pro hibition into opponents, has been man ufactured by the liquor crowd of the country, composed of men who desire to have the manufacture and sale ot 'iquor legalized in order that they may start the breweries and distil leries again and re-establish the sa loon system of retail distribution. This condition has been brought about by the Association Against the Pro hibition Amendment and similar "wet" organizations, organized and financed by men who expect to en gage in the liquor business if the amendment and prohibition laws are repealed. This condition, the speaker said, has been brought about by ex penditure of large sums of money for publicity and propaganda, by end. ess and tireless work by the we.s, and by the circulation of false statements and misleading newspaper and maga zine articles. The speaker then proceeded to show bv facts and figures that prohibition has not been a failure; that it has greatly decreased the consumption throughout the country of fermented and distilled liquors and that is the reason why the "wets" have deter mined to kill the amendment and the prohibition laws, with the additional reason the desire of many citizens ot the country to have the manufacture and sale of liquor legalized so they can engage in a semi-respectable (so they think) business instead of one that is outlawed. Mr. Fain concluded his talk by urg ing the sincere friends of prohibition to stand their ground and fight for enforcement of the laws, instead of "lying down" before the moonshiners, bootleggers, racketeers and other law breakers of the country with the ad mission. "You control the country > our laws cannot be enforced against you Take charge and run the coun try." The speaker said that the position of President Hoover and that of Can didate Roosevelt, on this issue, are entirely unsatisfactory to prohibition ists; and that the same is true of the "wet" planks in the platforms of the Republican and Democratic par ties; that the issue was dragged into this campaign by the "wets," who ma nipulated both national conventions and sought to tie the hands of both loyal Republicans and loyal Demo crats who are prohibitionists, by forc ing them to vote against their con victions. The speaker said that the 18th Amendment can be repealed only in the way it was adopted; and advised his hearers to give their chief concern to the election of prohibition legisla tures and a prohibition congress, which can prevent repeal. The speak er said he did not believe the issue would ever be submitted to State con ventions; that course has never been adopted in this country, all constitu tional amendments having been sub mitted to State legislatures for rati fication or rejection; and that the conventior. plan is now advocated by the "wets" because they believe con ventions can be manipulated and con trolled with much less difficulty than legislatures.

J#*****#*#* ! * THE UPWARD TREND * (********** 1 (Little paragraphs which show | that business is on the up-grade) The following items, clipped from ! the newspapers throughout the state | testify to the fact that business is i getting better and this pet depression I is about to give way to better times, j It will be noted that no one locality I or section is showing this improve | ment but that it is general.

M. Lyday were conducted Sundaj afternoon at the Gillespie cemetery, with the local camp of the Woodrnei. of the World, using the beautiful burial service of the order, in charge of the rites. Dr. Lyday died Monday of last week, funeral services beinfc held the following Wednesday, bui burial was postponed until the arri val of a daughter, Mrs. Wells, from the far West. A large number of the members o the Woodmen of the World met a! Woodmen Hall at 2: SO o'clock Suridaj, afternoon, and formed the procession Rev. Mack Grogan directed the work, while A. B. Galloway recited the ritualistic work of the order. A grca! host of friends attended the burial service, including physicians from Asheville and other cities and centers. Casual survey of the assembled crowd of mourning friends showed the presence of the rich and the poor, white and black, old and young Flcwers covering the newly made grave also marked the universality of the departed doctor's service U mankind. There were wreaths pre pared by florists that bore evidence of iiu sparing of expense; there were other wreaths made up of the choicest flowers in home gardens; still others were made up of th-a flowers of hili and vale, gathered by loving hands and wreathed with tenderest care. Regardless, however, of the kind of wreath, each spoke in eloquent man ner of deep love and sweet reccl | lections of him who had been a friend j i to all ? the rich and the poor, black t j and white, old and young. J. A. Simpson, Miss Geneva Neill and George Simpson *ang two num bers, both of them being favorites of the departed physician. The first soag was "Rock of Ages," and the other was "Nearer, My God to Thee," and as the last words of this song were wafted upon the air the solemnity oi" the living crowd there in the City of the Dead was most marked. He who had cured the afflicted, brought ease to the suffering, stayed the hand of death by his thorough diagnosis and careful treatment, had now succumbed to the Grim Reaper, and as his body was lowered into the grave to be covered by the silent clods of the Sylvan Valley the people realized that their friend was gone ? a friend in every sense of the word. But his work is not ended, for gathered about this last resing place of all that is mortal of Dr. Lyday, there were sons and daughters, grandsons and grand daughters, car rying on his work. Present for the rites were: his widow, three sons,. Dr. Russell Lyday, Greensboro; Dr. j Hall Lyday, Greenville, S. C.; Dr. Emmett Lyday, of G#st6nia ; two daughters, Mrs. A. F. Mitchell, Pen rose and Mrs. Frank L. Wells, Mayville, N. D. In addition, four brothers and three sisters survive, these being G. T. Ly day, A. B. Lyday and L. F. Lyday, of this county, E. 0. Lyday of Brad enton, Fla., Mrs. J. A. Surrett, Pen rose; Mrs. J. P. Allison, Pickens, and Mrs. R. L. Morgan, Asheville. A grandson greatly loved by Dr. I Lyday, Dr. Harry Bradley, also sur vives, and is now an interne in a hos pital at Atlanta, but had completed arrangement v%th Dr. "Bill" to be come associated with him here in the practice.

Men Who Make Our World There are thc?e who ridicule Prof. Auguste Pitta rd, the noted scientist for what they term his foolish flights into the top of this old world of ours. There is nothing to be found there they contend. Just spaoe. Perhaps they aire right. This great scientist may be wasting his time trying to see how high up in the air he can rise and what he will find there But look what possibilities would have been overlooked if some one had not experimented with t"he radio. The air is filled with musk, speeches and song. We can not see it and we wouid not know of its exis tence if it were not for the radio. These things have been placed there by man. But what is there that man knows nothing of and has had no part in we cannot say. So it is up to such men as Prof. Pittard to de termine this for us. It is the research work of such men as he who has made it possible for us to live the lives of ease and com fort now possible. Their contributions to our more thorough enjoyment of life; to our knowledge of how to live are not all accidental. Many a man hab devoted his life to the develop- j ment of his inventions without hope I of reward. There are those who have j been rewarded in a financial way but there are others who have departed this life unknown and unrewarded until the value of their great services to mankind were finally realized. When it is considered that many of , the little items which contribute to i our comfort, to the preservation of our health and to our well being in ! general are the result of what may, at one tim?, have been termed fool ish experimentation we will be mere careful about how we ridicule these men. It is through such as these that we have the automobile, radio, elec tric lights, electric refrigeration, talk ing pictures, aeroplanes and countless other things which we now accept as a part of our every day existence. | We may not be able to determine ' just what good will come of the ex periments of Prof. Pittard and his colleagues but in time to come we may ' look back on his present experiments ' as the beginning of something which will contribute to our life on this sphere immeasurably. Take Time for Reflection In the hustle of modern life men and women do not take as much time as they should for thought. No time is given to introspection, which, ac cording to Webster means looking into one's motives. We are always doing things, going places and saying things without stopping to ask ourselves I why. And too often it is found that j we would have taken an entirely dif- j ferent course if sufficient time had been given to consideration of the thing we planned to do. Stop for a moment and ask your- \ self why you are affiliated with a certain religion, political or fraternal organization. You may find, if you go into the matter thoroughly that you were prompted to join this or that organization by motives that you might not be willing to admit and that if you had gone more deeply in to the matter you would; perhaps have taken an entirely different course. Force of habit is not sufficient ex cuse for most of the things we do. When it is borne in mind that it is much easier to acquire the wrong habits of life than it is the right ones it will be readily seen that force of habit will be more than likely to cause you to take the wrong steps. Now, as never before it is neces sary that we learn to cultivate the thinking habit. Learn to think con structively. Learn to determine just why a decision is made. Life will be far more profitable if this method is followed in the every-day life. VALVE OF CHEERFULNESS If everyone realized the value of cheerfulness in the daily life this ?world would be a much better place in which to live. Cheerfulness is con tagious. Even the installment collec tor gets better results if he assumes a cheerful attitude. The fight for ex istence in this life is hard enough at its best and the man or woman who tries to lighten the burdens of others with a smile is worth more than all the ministers, philosophers and writ ers in the world. This is the campaign year. The chances are ten to one in favor of the candidate who has a smile for all whom he meets and spreads sunshine wherever he goes. CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our apprecia tion to our dear friends for their help rendered during the illness of our mother and wife, also for the beau tiful floral offerings. MR. LEWIS MOORE and children. DR. HARRELL TO OCCUPY METHODIST PULPIT Dr. Costori J. Harrell, pastor of the Monument Methodist church of Rich mond, Va., will speak at the eleven o'clock hour at the Methodist church here next Sunday. Dr. Harrell is widely known and a forceful speaker. His message Sun day will be of much interest and the public is invited to hear him.
