Have you been thinking about a school house site for Brevardy At least live acres should be se cured before landed property be comes too valuable—and where will you lind it even now? A graded school is one of our neces sities that must come, and the sooner our people begin making arrangements for it the better will they be {)repared wJitn the time comes to build, J [ There are people hereabouts who are borrowing tr-^uble where WASHINOT CHAT.

Cor. Main and Caldwell BREVARD, N. C We learn that PicK’ens county. S. C.. voted down the disi^ensary last Tliursday. As the state law proliibits saloons this vote of our neigliboring county proves that the people i>ropose to get along without stimulants that will in toxicate. In v^ew of the recent discussions as to the use of “tainted money’’ it may well be a question wiietker money from the sale of whisky is fit to use in the education of our children. It would be much better to tax our selves to keep up schools than to build poor houses and jails to care for the paupers and crimi nals which the sale of whisky will make. If intoxicants must be sold we believe in the dispensary method, but we have yet to learn that they are among the necessa ries of life. 1 [ Is there nothing in this world to live for except money? Mon ey is the one tning wliich an all wise Creator forgot (?) to make, and yet men rush into war. y)es- tilence, dangers and death to ac quire something which is not ftecessary to support life, heaith, or to add to man’s real happiness. Is there anything in this grasp ing greed for wealth except a form of worship of the golden calf? Is the millionaire with a thousand times more money than will supply his ev’^ery wish any happier than the bohemian living in a log hut w'ho hasn’t a dollar? And yet the w'orld bows in hum ble fawning on the one while it treats the other as un outcast. ‘•The love of money is the root of all evil. ” i You can hardly blame the rail way magnates for raising a loud protest when a man of Secretary Taft's build sits down on them. Chicago wants to operate its own street cars, but just at pres ent it seotns the city is not even able to run its delivery wagons. If these tariff blows continue, Seci-etary Shaw may be led to snub the President and the otiier minor members of the Cabinet. The man with a nicely framed motto reading “What is home without a cyclon(‘ cellar?'’ can do a nice business in Oklahoma these days. The Ringling Brothers, circus I)ro]'»rietor. may never know what chances they took in jxirading bears in front of the Wiiite House in open cages. Secretary Shaw is ord<'ring economy in lights in Federal buildings to save the deficit. He will have difficulty in keeping that deficit in the dark. Although the President is be ing laud(?d for his work foi- irri gation. Col. Wutterson knows he’s the man who has relieved many a “dry” occasion. Young Kockafeller does not deem it necessary to defend his father. He is right. The old gentleman is able to retain good lawyers for that [)urpose. It is going t(j complicate mat ters if the American Steel manu facturers olfer I’ebates to the government on the purchase of the Panama Canal supplies. It is asserted that municipal graft is unknown in Scotland. A little advertising of that fact is liable to start some of our graft ers out to cultivate the virgin tield. iff League suggests an appeal to the courts to compel the United States to pay Dingley Tariff rates on any Panama Canal supplies bought in foreign countries. Some of the best citizens of Texas and Missouri, announce that they propose to stop the habit of “toting” pistols in those states, even if they have to shoot the life out of men addicted to the vice. Hobson, the hero, was of no more importance at his own wed ding than the groom usually is. Ilecallinp: his own experince as a hunter, Grover (’Icveland refuse.s to believe a groat de;il of what he hears at)out the Prc'sideiit’s western trip. An Ocean Mystery. It is popularly supposed, and with pood reason, that every mile of the ocean has long ago been sailed over by trained bydrographcrs und every is land, reef and shoal in the hii^hways of commerce charted for the information of mariners. It seems, however, that there Is in midocean an area of b<*- tvveen 20.(XX» and ,‘10.000 .s<iuare miles which has never been ]>:-oporIy ex plored and is the subject of nnicli Kuesslng with the pos.sibility of ro- nj.-.ntie dis<-losures V(‘t to be made. The mysterious area lies in the direct lin(‘ between the Hawaiian port of Hi!o and the bay of Panama and Is in- chided within the meridians of lOo and i:;s de>?re(‘s of lonijitude west from (Iret'uwich and the lifteenth and twen tieth jtarallels of north latitude, re mote from the usual routes of commer cial voyaj'es. Intt*r(‘st in this stretch of unknown sea has been kept alive for half a cen tury by the mystery snrroundhi;; the disappearance of the I’niKnl States n:.‘in-of-war Levant in ttiat vicinity in ISOd.

I'revious to the loss of the I^e%*ant several Islands In that region had been reported by voyaj^ers, the last in IS.ia. one year befoi-e the man-of-war came to ^rlef. The existence of these is lands has never bei>n verifiol, but the fact that different navigators have re ported them gives groiui«i fv>r the be lief that there may be substance to their stories.

To shake about 200,000 peach tree' and 50.000 [)him trees for the purj/ics-.,- of dislodging injurious insects i.s a for midable task, yet it was successfuilv accomplisbed several times bet\\eoi» April IS and June 1.1901. by an orchaitJ company, at Fort Valley, in Georgia. The in.sect against which this action was taken was the eurculio beetle. A citizen of Macon, Ga., recent ly “drank thirty-tiye bottles of beer in four hours. ” That man certainly deserves to live in the “town” w'here Wisconsin’s fame resides. That Kansas City boy who lengthened himself two inches by machinery has not done anything so wonderful. The governor of kansas has grown several feet since he was elected President Roosevelt’s declara tion in Nebraska that he positive ly will not accept another nomi nal ion for the presidency, ought to be accepted as “conclusive at least for a year” or two.

The trumpet soinided for the assault, and the soldiers proceeded to rob, Wll. burn and violate. The trumpet nex-t sounded the retreat, but the troop refused to obey, and the fat major continued to sleep and smoke. When spoken to about the excesses of his men, he replied: “What can one do? They are so badly brought up!”— Paris Maceiloine. Kovel OyNter Parties. Oywter parties are the great diversion of the Spani.sh gentlemen who pay family visits to Vigo. The party goes out in a large flat bottomed boat. Then the oysters are fished up, opened and eaten ou the spot, and a prize goes to the guest who can show most shells at the end of the day. In excuse it may be said that ttie Vlg^ oyster Is sRiall, for a prize winner -will sometimes show as many as 200 sheila. A Waate of Dr«ath. “Yon cau always tell an EnglJj*-^ man,” began the Britisher boastfully. “But It would only be a waste of breath," interrupted tlie Yankee, “be cause he thinks he knows It all.”— Philadelphia Ledger.

The colTin was mad»r of lumber from a hickorj’ tree that grew on his own place. When it was tiaishedk he had it stored away in the attic. When the man died the coflin was sent for. It was well made and in good condition; but the man had so grown that it was too small.
