II C 'MnrirliAc' u. o. mcuuico With Business Too Much Government, Says Senator Reed "Government meddling in other } men's business has brought us to _ the inevitable conclusion that it is , time for this country to get back t to the self-reliant freedom on which . Anglo-Saxons have always succeed! ed," declares Senator David A. Reed t of Pennsylvania. I "I am fully convinced of the soundt nesB of the old axiom that 'the least Y government is the best government;' there is a point beyond which the s immediate benefit of governmental action is outweighed by" its meddlesomenes and its paternalistic intere ference with the liberty of the lnt dividual. d "We are carrying restrictions too g far. We are harassing everybody j too much in our effort to forestall a every evil. We are inspecting too minutely, investigating too far. Our e government has become too much of i- busybody. We have too many regus la tory commissions?too much gove ernment on every hand, d "I personally believe that we r would do much better to punish the e evildoer than to "hobble all men to r prevent their doing evil. ? in take "We must begin not UUAJ vv stock of the cost of our vast encroachments upon the freedom oi the individuals, but also to look Into the future and try to picture the logical outcome of these efforts to reverse economic laws by legis ie lative nostrums.

EUGENE BROWNLEE No notice of Mr. Brownlee is complete. 'without mention of his service to his Country during the Great War. His father was a soldier In the Union Army during the Civil War. Mr. Brownlee was fond of telling how, here in the South when badly wounded, he as taken into a Southern family and tenderly nursed back to life. Long afterwards, prompted by gratitude, he came South ta see if he could find his benefactors. He found them old and in need and. for ' thc. rest of thoir lives, was glad to assist them. Mr. Brownlee had a talent for nursing, and, as he was past the age for service in the field in 1916, he joined the Red Cross and served for sonie time in France Ambulance Corps serving in Italy. His undoubted talent came int? use in the care of the wounded. He was given a medal by the French Government in acknowledgement of his usefulness. He was devoted to the honest upbringing of his son, and many of the guests at Oak Hall remarked the fine deference he paid to his mother and to her contemporaries. May all good enter his new life with him. ?J. H. TAR HEEL CAGE AAHPMII r IIIA SUIItVULt HHd THIRTEEN GAMES The Univeristy of North Carolina's basket ball schedule for 1927, was announced here today.

I wonder which would drop from exhaustion first if a real estate agent and a motor car salesman tried to make a sale to each other? H. R. Loar, former associate [sales director of Druid Hills, arriv'ed this week from Kinkwood, W. I iVfl where he has been for the past few months at his former home. Mr. Loar expects to spend the winter in Hendereonville. , TO THE lews mmm Salvation Army Doing Great Work Began Its Good Work Over 30 Years Ago Among the recent visitora to Tryon has been Mrs. A. A. Story, wife of Captain Story of the Salvation Ary. Her friendly, maternal face and well-known uniform seemed to become familiar immediately as she went about our streets soliciting for the various activities of the Army in thQ Hendersonville District. It is thirty years, Mrs. Story says, since the Salvation Army first began its work in North Carolina, as the Wilmington Hospital and Home for Women and Children bears wit- ; ness. The Hendersonville District crosse the State line, and includes Greenville, S. C., with its Salvation Army Hosiptal and its Bruner Home for children. This excellent Home has proper provisions for but thirtysevent children, though at present there are fifty-three beneath its . roof and sixty on the waiting list. At this institution there are, among others, the Justice triplets, grand- I nicees of the late Mr. J. R. Justice. I These orphans are greatly beloved 1 by the Salvation Arpay people who have guided their Vigorous little 1 lives for the five years of their existence. They are well clothed by ! the generosity of a gentleman of Greenville, and they bid fair to have 1 a happy childhood and a good educa- ' tion. Offers have been made more than once to adopt them, but the Salvation Army people are unwilling to separate these little folk bound 1 -l > '?? Avf nlr/Minictoilfp ' In SQ C1USO H UU1U1I Ul vuvuiuwmxvv and resemblance. But these are but three of a company of children who 1 are being reared with all the solici- 1 tude and care of which their disinterested protectors at the Bruner Home are capable. Another activity of the Salvation ; Army in this division is the Salvation Army Camp on Jump Off Mountain. The beautiful site for this camp was donated by W. D. McAdoo, and here, last summer, one hundred and seventy movers and (children were enteretained. This practical friendship offered to those in need of a home or a vacation is, as ail know, but one part of the work of the Salvation Army. Even more important, in their estimation at least, is the hand held out to those who have become lost in the tangled ways of wrong-doing and who are defiant in their sin, or who feel themselves lost. There is no way to measure the value of the : help given to such people, nor can the service of the Army to the community in winning such unfortunates back to the ways of rectitude be estimated.
