J^ditor Sylvan Valley News:
I read with ploa.snro tlio urtiflo
written hj A. M. V. in last wo('k’s
Sylvan Valley N(>ws, and liopo that
many others wore imi)ressod with
the sonnd common s(^n.se and hiisi-
n(‘ss aciirnen shown hy the writer
thereof. The time is now ht're
wht'n Brevard needs to he syste
matically adv(*rtised and for the
l>nsiness interests of the town to he
well organized.
No town can enjoy the fnll meas
ure of her ^)iisiness ])ros})erity with
ont an organization to put forward
the best int(*rests of the town as con
cerns hotli tho.s(> who live therein
and those who are looking for a
suitable location to go into business
of some kind. It is us neces.sary
for a town to b(^ orpinized alon^x
business lines as it is to have a
municipal organization; it is as
beneficial to a town to have its or-
ganiztnl business government as for
it to have its organized municiinil
government. In the past it was
not necessary for cities or towns to
liav(‘ but the crudest form of organ
izations to enact and enforci* tliose
rul(*s and regulations (call(Hl ordi
nan('es) found n(‘c(\«sary for the
protection of life and i>ro])erty
within its boundaries, hut the
growth of the i)oi)ulations and th(‘
ever increasing improvements havt'
made such organizations necessary
and no town could be managed
without a wtdl organized and
smooth running town government.
And it is also trui' that the growth
of busin(‘ss, the incn'asing struggle
for wealtli. the d('sir(* to accumu-
lat«‘ pro])erty has mtidi' it nec(\'<sary
for tlie successful business town to
have a ])erfect and smooth running
organization to furtlK'r its busine.^^s
int(‘rests and to perform sucli du-
ti('s as will incr(“asi‘ the business
facilities and hold out attractions
to tli(' investors.
A Board of Trade or a C'luunlH'r
of (’omnu'rct*, or whatev(>r name it
may go under, is the organization
'that is nc('ded to formulate, p(‘rfect
land "jjut into o]»eration such ])lans
and methods as will result in in
creased business that will facilitate
tlu^ business tlu'n doing, and to s(»e
that no oi)portunity is allowt'd to
pass that would result in good to
th(‘ town.
A well organized and hard work
ing body of men, who have; the Ix'st
interests of tlu? town at heart, who
ar(‘ working without any reward
otlu'r than the growth and b(*tt(‘r-
ment of their home town, cun do
more' Avork and improve and build
up a town quicker than can any
oth(‘r method known to man.
If we look at our neighboring
towns we will s(‘c what a great ad-
vantag(' their res])(‘ctive Boards of
Trade have b(‘cn to them; how
through tli(* judicious advertising
of the advantages offered both from
the stand])oints of business, health
and i)leasure hundreds and thou
sands of investors have come in
and become citizens, and not only
do thesc‘ organizations bring in
outsiders, but one of the chii’fest
dutit^s is to look after the welfare
of tlie liomefolk, as by securing
legislation rt'ducing freight rates,
I)revc‘nting monopolies of tli(‘ tele
phone systems, street car lin<‘s and
many other scdiemes that are being
daily put forward by the trusts
that encroach upon and are bur
densome to the p(^o])le.
And then it is parallel to many
other cases in which Bi’evard lias
there was a fair field and no favors,
then we stood as fair a chance as
any town, but now that the other
towns have their Boards of Trade
•»\'hich ar(' on the alert to take ad
vantage’; of every i>ossible busin(»ss
op])ortunity and to push it forward,
it is essential that we do likewise,
so that we will have a body of men
whose business it will be to advo
cate n(‘cded changes or reforms, to
advertise' our many advantages, to
call the attention of the investors
to our ncMvls and to tlie many ojien-
ings for making money liero and to
insure the fntnre growth and pros
perity of Brevard, and I want to be
the second man to become a mem
ber of th(^ new Board of Trade.

Crawford For Congress.
The following appeared in Sun
day's Asheville Citizen over the
signatnre of John P. Kerr. Mr.
Kerr will be remembered as a
former editor of the Citizen, and
what lie has to say on matters
and candidates congressional will
meet with a hearty response from
his old friends in this county:
Tlie congressional tight must
furnish tlie battle that will
keep our i>arty lines distinct
ly drawn and create the entLusi
asm that will insure full votes in
all the counties of the west. Our
mountain peoi>le love a struggle
and they will not enthuse over a
man who is not a tight(?r. Tn the
days of Clingman and Vance they
learned to love the cut and come
contests on the stump in joint
campaigns, and no man can
arouse our people who is either
ifraid or incapable of holding his
own against all comers on the
hustings. J. C. Pritchard iios-
ieessed the courage and the abil
ity to do this, and to this fact. I
believe is attributable the origin
of the hold he has always had up
on his party in this section of the
state. I do not believe tlie ablest
statesman in the democratic par
ty in the nation to day could car
ry and hold the tenth district un
less he could successfully meet
Editorial Briefs.
Prom the number of new re
publican papers w'hich arespring-
ing up in various parts of the
state we surmise that either the
“ins” or the “outs” are expecting
to make things lively during the
coming campaign. One of these
the Wilkes Patriot will probably
remain patriotic until after elec
tion. Another, the Blue Kridge
Eagle, is published at Cherry
Lane, N. C.

From the rush that democrats
of Henderson county are making
to break into the rei)ublican camp
it would seem that a democratic
paper that has the confidence of
all is needed to hold them in line.
The political changes in Transyl
vania county are all the other
way.

The .^1,000 Chicago license has

“Our navy” says Congressman
Weeks, ‘‘is our advertising medi
um in the Orient.” Nearly all
the other iiowers use theirs for a
inlluence. This is an evil which I
should be remedied, if an edi
tor has the confidence of his
readers and can wield an influ
ence in building up his tow'n or
his party, he should be paid for
his services until the salary of
l)Ostmaster or revenue doodler
would have no temptations. Al
most anybody can fill an office
and draw his salary, but very
few can edit a newspaper accept-
ceptably.

We note that ()ur merchants
are setting the example of doing
their trading away from home.
They seem very anxious that a
newspaper should warn its read
ers against the mail order houses,
such as Montgomery Ward &
Co., and yet when they want a
job of printing they get our
prices and then get some city
job office to do their work for a
few’ cents less. Why don’t they
get the other fellow's ])rices llrst

important that we nominate the
best campaigner from among the
gentlemen seeking congressional
honors tliis year. And I am per
suaded that no man at all familiar
with the candidates has any
doubts about W. T. Crawford be
ing that man. I would by no
means underestimate either Mr.
Crawford’s ability as a statesman
or his character as a man, but I
am convinced that to his unusual
pow’er as a campaigner is trace
able his strong hold upon the
rank and file of the democratic
party in these mountains.
And in congress Mr. Crawford
was recognized as one of the best
posted, one of the readiest deba
ters and one of the hardest light
ers in the ranks of his jiarty.
And the nomination of W. T.
Crawford for congress this year
w’ill mean the strengthening of
the Democratic local ticket in ev
ery one of the counties compos
ing this district. Instead of di
minishing democratic votes, his
candidacy will mean increasing
democratic votes. Instead of
waning interest, his candidacy
will mean greatly increased en
thusiasm in every section of the
district.
