When we see some person deprived of the use of eyesight, arms or legs or in some other manner handicapped but achieving success in life we often feel ashamed of our own small suc cess, even though we may have done the best we know how to do; No doubt the man or woman who is deprived of the use of eyes, arms or legs real izes then they must fight under a handicap and so begin to prepare ?for the battle. He knows the fight is to be harder for him ? the normal man has nothing to force upon him to any | definite action so he just drifts along. It is true that there are thousands deprived of the use of various part3 of their body who do not amount to anything. You see them in the cities, blind and cripples passing the tin cup for your donation. These persons probably would have made just that sort of success or failure if they had been normal. As it is they are taking the easiest way out. Just a few stand out as having achieved success under these handicaps. When we realize what unusual effort must fee reo.uired of them to achieve outstanding suc cess ur.de r such difficulties we can not but wonder what could be accom plished if the same efforts were ap-. ptied under normal conditions. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT NEXT YEAR? ?> With 'the approach of winter the lew , summer visitors who mained a$ long as they possibly. can, wiil return to their respective homes. What th?y think of us, here in Bre- 1 yard and the town generally; is large- ( ?iy a matter for conjecture. Biit'tius; moch is certain; if we have, as -in dividuals, 6ne the beat we -could to , make those with whom we have come ] in c.ont^ct, feel that they Were wel- ! . come and that we would really lijte | to have them return for another visit, ' there iS a possibility that tHfty will return. But there is a chaijee tfiat iljey. Jt'iU^ot. ' 'I And it is this chance that We riiust .ttiink ,of,;.We have a fine town and ' there, is -.i)ot anotlier that appreciates their summer visitors more tihap we, and that would do more to make--them ' "that^hey had a wonderful time here.'JSo, w'th this in mind it is tfrhe jrighi.v^ow. ; to begin thinldng -of . next summer. Write to your- friends; tell theito" ft<Wv much you enjoyed Rawing them hete; tell them of 'jfottr-.pltins lor. nex.t; year and what you ?ve g<5 ing to do "for their pleasujr^^' iB? itei-tainment when they retujjji^ext summer. In other words .^Jvarti^e. Business' irf made sound through ad vertising' and the tourist business is not an ej^ception. Those pe^pbS, rtidst of.. them anyway, who summer^ ,jiere Will do- 'the same thing ne^t.year,.,if tHey ire offered -the invitation - arid the inducements. Don't w#it:tiir the season is ih full swing afid then' be gin jtouir advertising. Begin it b'6w. t(|k * ? "!' 1 ? | THE 1 PESSIMIST AND THE OPTIMIST. >ti ' The essential difference between the pessimist and the optimtst'is that the optiipist has a swell time going to the <}evil while the pessimist, finds it "hard sailing. There is a bright side to everything but the pessimist's eyes are so ac customed to darkness that he can not see. the real beauty that lies under his very nose? it takes the optimist to Kind.it and ha is happier because of avihg done so. Things may go wrong;, busilie'ss tay be bad and any number of things ay happen to make life seem hard but in spite of it all the optimist us ually finds the few bright spots and B makes the most of them. He looks forward to and talks about the things he hopes for. If business is 'bad, rather than continually think about how bad it is, he trys to remember when it was worse and if he can he compares it with that time when he talks to his friends and acquaintanc es. "Well, maybe business is a little slow right now" he will say "but I |can remember wh( i it was worse," And not only does he feel better for having said that but the person > to. I whom he is talking unconsciously ab sorbs some of that optimistic spirit nd so the optimist has, after all (served a good purpose. Ralph Parlette once said that' his I policy is to make people laugh iand while their mouths are open cram in little truth. And it is quite true that people's minds are more receptive when they feel "fine" than when they are "Down in the gutter." r. Let's spread optimism. Overide the pessimist. As long as there is' one whit of good left in the w'Q^ld list's find it and hold it up to our fellow men and when, if ever, we ate forced down, let's go down with a smile. Life will at least have been worth'liv;^ s } DO YOU KNOW THIS . /.VC INDIVIDUAL? He is the man who knows politics but thinks the president is appointed by congress. He can run the country ; all he wants is a chance to show his ability, yet he has never made a suc cess in anything he ever attempted. He says women are a sorry lot, can't be trusted and yet he is known to have run around with women of questionable character and certainly for no good purpose. He is narrow minded in everything but permits himself every liberty. Occasionally we meet such fellows but we do not waste any tims with them for there is nothing to be gained by it. They are usually disagreeable for they agree with no one and will | contradict their own statements in order to be arbitrary. To have opinions and to stick to them is all right. But always bear in mind that there is a possibility that j someone may know ju3t about as ( much in "shooting off your mouth." Still water runs deep you know, so don't leave the impression that you are a shallow stream. Listen awhile . and learn. People admire a good listener. And the man who con do nothing but talk soon wears o!it his ' ! .. -I r r.u.iicnce. RELATION OF THE FAIR TO t AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT ] There are few people who will not ! admit that these county fstirs serve a: ? goo<J purpose But not many realise i just how important a .part it plays in 1 the life of the community anil even ' of the nation. If you would get a full ?Realization of the importance of it : just wander around among the "ex- 1 hibits.for a time; look them over care- j fully and note your own reaction. ,You will find yourself asking ? the question, "Is .it possible to grow cqrn like that cn a commercial scale or to produce it profitably?" or "Now who would Ijave thought you could produce any thing like that in this section?" Idle questions, random thoughts, but it is such things a? this that bring you to, not only ask the questions but to answer them as well. Your interest is aroused and you determine to satis fy your curiosity so 'you learn all you can about this or that thing you .see ar6und you. How was this produced, how did you do that? All these ques- . polls'. spur y.oiv, on. In. short, oae of the objects ??? -the county fair is to demonstrate jusf'-what can be done ifti t^e farm;, in, the home an"4 by 'young and old. ! 'i. There may : ba 'a farmer growing *4kitir 'that is exceptionally fine and ,^jii,Ch.he has been developing for y^jrs. He may not realize that he is iforochicing something that is of in WJfee interest to every other farmer In thie county because he has been ,d<gng it so long that it is just ?a or dih'ary occurrence to him. Then there are the things learned because of '/Competition. You use all the ingenuity 'you posBesB in an effort to produce ? the finest and best and some of your experiments may lie of great value ' bo you have accomplished something really worth while in your attempt to produce prize-winning products for the fair. !-. And so it goes. The fair brings to us the great possibilities that exist. It - awakens and stimulates interest, not ' only in the older heads but the youth as well. The- . incentive to produce prize-winning hogs or poultry or cat tle will do more for the young farmer than any other one thing. It offers him an incentive. While the same thing is true of the little ladies. The growing of flowers, the canning and preserving, the making of fine bread and. cakes, and all the other activi ties of the home in which they nat urally- excell are brought to the fore thrdugh this friendly rivalry found at the county fair. The fairs to be held Saturday bids fair to be two of the best ever held in this section, and THE best ever held in Transylvania County. To miss them is to miss something that is really worth while. A great deal of ,time and effort has been expended by Prof, Glazener, Prof. Corbin, the Young Tarheel Farmers and the people of the communities in general to make this a fair that will long be remembered and there is no better way in which your time can be spent t than in visiting it. See what your county is doing; see what possibilities you have here. It will be time well spent. i i J HE IMPORTANCE OF ' BREVITY. Some time ago one of the leading magazines put on a, contest in which ? they offered a prize for the shortest story submitted, which was complete and told a great deal in a few words. _ | The prize winning story was : j. "for Sale: Baby carriage, blankets | and clothes. Never been used." i ? ' What a story those few word3 tell.' ! The purchase of those little things I j.?or the expected arrival must have j. brought joy to a young couple who ! looked forward to the time when it 1 should occupy its place in the car ' riage and wear the clothes, probably 1 made by the tender hands of the ex pectant mother. And the dreams she | must have dreamed. She could almost { see the innocent little laughing eyes \ of the tot, hear him cry, feel those , baby fingers as they clasped her own, t hear his first words and see his des perate! attempts to waik. All these I things no doubt made the time pass swiftly and finally he was ushered j into the world. Then all was changed. The joy and happiness that she had expected was changed to sorrow and heartache. Those fond dreams crash 1 ed about hfer and her very soul cried out in mortal anguish, for the things that mr e hers that should ' have brightened the little household were not. The tot had not lived. "There' is a sf&ry that, if brought out in detail would fill a book, yet there is, told completely in just a few ; words. Not many people are. capable ; ' of such brevity. One must have a j * thorough knowledge of the English ; j language and be able to think to tel.' | ; a great deal in a few words. There 1 are & few who are capable iSf this but j 1 not many. Arthur Brisbane can tell I ( more in a Wif column 'char is con- ? ained in an entire issue of many news- " papers It is not what he says so much ?-> the thoughts and ideas he conveys, the impressions he Reaves with his readers. It is because he thinks and : Decause he "knows exactly what he wants to say. And perhaps the most important thing is .that he knows people.. He knows , what impression they will secure from what ^tliey. read and he writes accordingly. Will Rog ers also possesses this quality -to a remarkable degree. Learn to be brief. Study how you may say a great deal in a few words. It is excellent, training. People dislike to listen, to a "long winded" speaker and writers who are most successful are seldom noted for the quantity of material they produce but the thoughts they convey. | HANGING OUT ON * j | MAIN STREET || * By A.

Several young hopefuls saying the reason there is a dark spot | on their upper lip is 'cause the I barber was in a hurry and over- j looked that particular section of j their face.

Coach Tilson quite busy this term? yea, its MOSTLY football. Tony Trantham says that after he had received the answer, "yes,* and thank you" to his proposal he went to see the young lady's I Father and after tellir.' him the sad news asked, "Is there any in sanity in your family?" The fath er looked him over carefu'ly shrugged, and replied "There certainly must be." And to some of you wno resent havin' your names in our collum, we have this to say: Some day when our names are spoken along with Odd Mclntyre, ? Wi,"che!1 and K- J. Poole, iHtls you 11 wish we would mention your name in our collum and we will nonchalantly light an "Or. the Level," blow smoke rings to the top of our padded cell and ask, "Who are you?" As he gracefully (?) Swung Mar garet Barnett over the dance floor, Paul Keller, thoroughly en raptured, breathed into her ear, I "You dance divinely. Ill never forget this evening." and she re- 1 plied "Neither will I" and he did not understand why she put so much emphasis into the statement until he later heard her remark, ' My feet are killing me." Ruby McKinnie lookin' sort of dreamy-eyed these days ? a good sign but maybe there's nothin' to it Ruth Picklesimer tendin' store while Dacjdy goes home to dinner (we)l, supper, then, if you must have it that way) Paul Keller askin' his girl if she wants him to bring his brother around next time he comes and she pays "yes, do bring him along next time and you remain home" Prac tically the entire town turnin' out Sunday night to hear Rev.

Evidently Sam is the only boy in the family and the giris1 get tired of hearing, do this and do that for Sam Few marriage licenses are issued now, due to the depression existing in our midst, which keeps one from falling in love so easily ? You may rest assured that the man that mar ries a girl -nowdays, is sure that she has an income sufficient to support both. "Girls this is why love is like a kiss on an ocean wave, it keeps rolling everywhere and never settle" down." Something that is real discouraging is to go on a picnic or be on a lawn party when some Bozo starts singinc "It Ain't Going To Rain Anymore," and it really does rain. Did you know that water freezes every night of the year at Alto Cruce ro, in Bolivia; .white at noonday the sun is hot enough to blister the flesh. The Southern Public Utilities Com pany regrets {his .very much because the people .there store ice during the night for their use the following day and therefore eliminates the use of electrical freezing systems. Did you know that no president of the United States ever had a third term. TKe pvesidents have less priv ileges than thieves and racketeers, be cause they serve many terras and there is no objection whatever. Mr. Bosse was in the News com posing room Saturday evening and during the play, was hit by a wad of paper and called it assault and bat tery and said i(e was going to have us up in coart lor' it, stating it was against the .law- to hit a man while he had glasses on ? "The News force says it is against the law for boot leggers to sell whisky, but they do it just the same." The World Series has started of.' with a bar.g that will shake tir United States, and to the sorrow o' "money hoarders" who bet $nd lose, will be looking for sympathy, but little of this will they receive becaus" it will only be more money put into circulation and that is what we are all craving. Rah, Rah, the other day Tom Whit mire went hunting and did he "Bring Them Back AliVe." Tom did exactly as the picture said to do and brought back a great quantity of chigoes. But since then Tom has been wanting to bring a suit against the Clerason theatre for booking a picture by this name, thinking it would have kept off the chigoes if he had not seen the picture and lived up to the words that it contained. A few years ago at a football game between South Carolina and N. C. State there were two drunks attend ing the game from South Carolina. They entered the field and so highly intoxicated, went into the wrong grandstand, which was for N. C. State. When the game started the Carolina boys ran a couple of touch downs which started the drunks to raving, calling out loudly "Kill those Radicals of N. C. State". This game was played afte^- North Carolina had gone Republican ? Later the N. C. State boys made three touchdowns and in all the confusi<Jh one of the drunks, a Democrat, said lets go home because there is going to be another "Republican JLaunslidte." Something that was not so interest ing to a Cub&n was to come to The Brevard Institute to ttke English and have the Superintendent to tel! him he would have to ' go to the Freshman class to start his work. The Cuban Hot being ab.e to speak Eng lish, thought .Freshman was French man, accoVdhrg to the way the Sup erintendent expressed the word and the Cubans reply was no, no, I come here to cake English not Frenchman. I have learned' who the two Bozo's were that I wrote about last week and who told -Florj.iWike, Reba Kitchen, and Rose Schachner that they were going to be lonesome as far as they were concerned this winter. They were Messrs Feimster and Sellers. Following are the statements they made: Feimster-Sellers ? You ali will be lonesome this' winter as far as we are concerned. Reba-Kltchen: I don't mind, I have s regular fellow for the winter. Feimster-Sellers : Yes, you have him regular about three nights out )f the entire winter- months.

It is':; '.Remain' silent and be thought a foot; sp?ak ahd remove nil doubt. I ] learn great, deal by listHfj&g. I can siztf a ptj'son ujj, to a great extent by the; course .tff their conversation and J always gft a. kick out of it So, in this lhsfcimce;" I let him do the talk ?5ngi'l'0i?'tibt have long to iisten aid when Xleft him I was weli impressed, ? S^, many .people did not like him; considered htm dumb. I began to won der h,o? .ho.had fooled me if that was ths_ case 'and ' I determined that if thrown,, with him again I would atudy him. move closely. I soon had the opportunity. Wc talked for- some time and this time I attempted *o lead him out in the con versations . tried to get him to talk rif the 1 thtfigs fhat were of interest to me, . instead of .letting him talk as he iChffce.' Twt.-anS subsequent conversa tions revealed" an astonishing fact. That man was the most interesting man to talk to on just .two or three i subjects. When he had "talked him 5 self out" along the3e ' lines he was decidedly uninteresting. I learned that i he. .had,, in order to impress people, i learned to talk on a few subjects and i as. Jong as he was able to carry the ! conversation as he chose he did real | weli. But even the simplest things ; j the .things that he should have known ! he did slot know. He was, as people i had told me, just naturally dumb. ! . I have often wondered since, why i it is that a man with intelligence enough to figure out so successful a methed of making a good impression, can not educate himself along other ' lines as well as the few he specializes in. An interesting conversationalist is not one who can talk intelligently on _ one or two subjects but is versatile enough to talk intelligently along many lines. To the people who knew him he was dumb because, in order to carry his part of the conversation it was necessary to repeat the things .they had- heard so often; the same jokes, the same illustrations, the same line of thought I And I learned what I had half sus pected; he nevier read; never studied. And no one can be a good ronversa tionalfrrt who is not well read and something of a student of human na ture. There is perhaps no one thing that will make for versatility in con versation than the ^tudy of human natnro.
