. THE BREVARD NEWS Published Every Thursday by THE TRANSYLVANIA PUBLISHING CO., Inc. Entered at the Postoffice in Brevard, N. C., as Second Class Matter - James P. Barrett Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES (Payable In Advance) One Year $2.00 Six Months 1.00 Three Months 60 ?( Thursday, October 20, 1932 j HOW ARE THE PEOPLE TO PA? BONDED INDEBTEDNESS? j Just what is to beJone in the mat- j ter of this county's public indebted- ; ness is a problem that staggers the best minds of the county. With a tax burden that is already heavy ? taxes for nation, state, county and city ? and with much of our taxable proper- , ty now in the hands of the county and the town, sold for taxes and bringing no more taxes, ? the way ahead looks dark, indeed. We are just wondering who will pay the bonds, and when they can pay them. i.'uny of us have already lost our hc::.-'s through sale under mortgage fir sale for taxes. Many, many more citizens of the town and county will be sold out. It looks as if the mort gage companies and the town and county will soon own practically all vf th b.'st property that yielded most of the lax incomes of the past. Some people are holding on from week to week, hoping and praying that some way may be found to save their prop erty. yet people who are experiencing difficulty in holding their property tannot be able at any early date to assume any greater tax burden in raising money to pay public debts. There is a task here confronting as that calls for the very best thought and most patriotic spirit of which the citizenship is capable of giving. Wise, indeed, will be the man or the set of men who can work out of the hole that we are in. And the problem is not peculiar to this country. The same condition exists in more or less sev erity. in every county in the state. Buncombe county, for instance, with its piled up millions of public debts, now embracing 1600 destitute fami lies that the people must feed, cannot hope, ever, to pay its public debt. Maybe there will arise a Solomon or a Moses with sufficient intellectual ability to offer, a solution. We need such a man, and need him sorely at this time. I'ISf; AH .MILLS NOW ON FI LL TIME. Perhaps no one is move apprecia tive of the welcome news of the re sumption of a full time schedule by the Pisgah Mills here than the work ers who have been out of employment since operation was suspended some time ago. And the promise that this opening, as far as the officials of mill can determine, Is to be perma nent is a most helpful indication. The payroll of these workers means much to the community and more to the n. To many of them it is the dif ference between the bi '.d-line and sell' support. Reports from all part - 1' the state indicate that business is on the up grade and it is not oniy tting that ? Transylvania county should fall into Ene with the general trend for this (?aunty, is, and always has been, pro- j gressive. We have had many rovers- ^ es; at times it has seemed that there was no way out, yet here we are, keeping the stride with heads erect and faces to the front, keeping pace ' *ith-the rest of the world. We have our share of pessimists but we are proud that they are few. 1 Optimism here is the rule rather than the exception. WHEN OCR NATION TURNS BACKWARD. We do not like to think that the advocates of the movement for the re- : yeal of the eighteenth amendment are conscientious in what they are do- , ing; especially those who would like, to see liquor come back in order that : the government may secure an addi tional source of revenue. There is no question as to whether it would help cover some of the deficits of our gov ernment It would. Nor is there any question that the enforcement of this law has not been the success we would j like for it to have been. It has not. But when it comes to the place vhere this nation, admittedly the greatest on the face of the earth roust secure its revenue from such sousce3 as the liquor trafic; when it must depend upon lawlessness and drunk eness for successful operation it is time some one did some thinking. Shall this nation follow the examples set by other nations; nations thai tiavy sacrificed religion, morality and tempcrance on the alter of greed? j Th? need is not so much for in creased revenue as for more efficient legislation. The man who has an in come does not try to increase that in come to meet the needs of an ineffi ciently managed home. He budgets tho expenses of his home to keep it in proportion to his earnings. Two cars may be desirable and five or six servants may be able to give belter service in the home than two or three would give but if he can "not afford to operate on this scale, instead of looking to the securing of more money he naturally thinks of reducing his operating expense. This principle, applied to government is certainly no less practical than when applied to individual needs. The people have been taxed in every conceivable manner and there is always the cry, "We must have mora revenue." And then some bright politician suggests the return of liquor as a source of revenue and i makes it an issue. J8 DISTRICT MASONS TO MEET FRIDAY NIGHT i A splendid program has been ar ranged for the Masonic meeting of ' the 38th District which is to be held in Hendersonville Friday, October 1 2!st.

I'ISGAH MILLS NOW ON FULL TIME SCHEDULE The Pisgah Mills here l.ave resum 3d a full time schedule which, ac 'ronling to officials of the company will be carried out for an indefinite period. | This schedule went into effect Fri day noon, placing nearly 100 opera tives at work on the full time basis, ft is planned to put on a night shift in the near future and to employ as many workers as is possible. Only , local workers will be employed, it was stated, since the company has a sufficient number of old employes to handle the output of the mill when running at capacity. While it was stated that the mill is being operated to hold the orga nization intact, it is to continue on the regular basis as long as this can possibly be done.

It pays to have friends like these people and if this is not coping with depression I j would like to see someone do so. George Simpson say3* if people would bestow one-half of their for tune in learning how to spend the other half, it would be money ex tremely well laid out. The depression sure must be on when you see Mary 0. Wilkins, Willie Kate Waters and many more wearing "Empress Eugenia'' hats ? The cost 'of hat fnaterial is not being cut at all but the size is cut, therefore bring ing priccs down to cope with depres sion ?

Fifty gambling devices were closed at the State Fair Friday for robbing the public. According to this there are lots of merchants in cities who sure have got the small town people biting their hooks and they bite hook, ''line" and all ? They should be closed for gambling and influencing the small-town people, making them pay double the price that they pay in their own town. As it has and was said in the olden days, "There is a Sucker Born every minute," and so continues the people, being sucked out of their richcs by the city merchant. Then they com plain and wonder why Brevard is recognized just enough to gain a positior on the map of North Caro lina. Do charity work at home before go ing abroad,. giving your money for moducts that are of far less value than you can get at home. If you are a citizen, be a good citizen and not a backslider of Brevard. You Tnay, someday, want to establish a business here and when ycu do you will find out the mistake that you made when you traded in cities, and there will be the gnashing of teeth, weeping and wailing, cussing the jpublic for not trading with you. ana many more things that you would not desire to happen to you, but did happen to merchants while you were trading in such cities, causing divorcee for some, suicide, utihappincs:-. in their homes, losing property, giving bad checks and not being able to make them good, were put in jail in some instances. ?
