MR. HANNIN’S ll»iOIIOL
MATTERS OF RECORD
FROM ROILSnN
Editor Sylvtn Valky Newt.
I see in the last namber of the
SylTMi YaUey Ne'vro a oUppinff from
the Polk Ck>imty l^wws. My friend
seems to be horrified at my article
on dancing; especially that I should
plaoe.that amosement with adul
tery, fornication* nncleanneas, mur
ders, dronkenness, revellings and
such like.
That is jnst where Panl pats it
in Qal. 5:19-21. Dancing is revel
ling. The Polk Connty News says;
“We have danced nearly all onr
life and have met hnndreds on the
hall room floor—the most refined
and cnltared women in the south
land, and we’ve never heard of
their going astray.’' He and all
these women have been going
astray all these years, and how far
/ they are now from the path of vir
tue, morality and righteousness
God only knows.
My friend says “that the writer
is off his feed. We wager that he
never had his head inside a ball
room door, and it’s a case of soar
grapes.” No; he never was inside
a ball room, nor a theatre, never
played a card, never swore an oath,
never used tobacco in any way
whatever, never drank a drop of
brandy or whiskey, and married
the first girl I courted. Have been
a charch meiiaber seventy years
and have preached the gospel for
sixty-two years nearly all over
North (Carolina and baptised 5,000
people.
So that 1 have done all these
things under God, while my Polk
county friend has bet$n dancing and
resting, for he says that he has
been dancing nearly all his life; he
must have had a little time to catch
his wind. I wager that he is not a
church member, or that if he is, he
is of little or no account in the
church, for I never knew a church
member whose influence amounted
to any good who -was a dancer and
ball room goen The ungodly have
no confidence in their religion—I
have heard them say so. I will
leave it to the good people of Polk
county to testify as to the general
character of “Polk County News.”

LOCAL TAX ELECTIONS
On last Tuesday there were two
elections held in Hogback township
on the question of local school tax,
one in school district No. 5 (Unioti
school) and ^he other in district
No. 3 (Montvale school). The elec
tion carried for the tax in the Union
district but was voted down at
Montvale.
The old school house at Montvale
is not a satisfactory building, and
they have no house at all at Union ;
so the board of education agreed to
help each district in the building of
a new house if they would vote the
local tax to provide for better
schools and help in providing the
necessary school equipment.
By their vote the people of the
Montvale section (with three ex
ceptions) have said that they are
satisfied with their xirf^ent school
facilities and therefore do not want
any assistance from thu board of
education to provide anything bet
ter for their children than they
now have. The people of Union,
however, have expressed their de
sire for assistance to help them in
needed improvements; so arrange
ments will be made at once to have
a modern one room school house
built for them. An effort will be
made to have this house comnlete<
and ready for school next fall.
With the single exception of the
Montvale seotion. Hogback now
has a local tax for schools over the
whole township.
C;JD OF THANKS
We extend onr sincere thanks
to the people of Brevard and Tran
sylvania conn^ f6r their many
acts of kindneai and liberal sap*
port during oiir flojoom withy^n.
Wishing each and everyonea boon-
tiful share of thii worU’fl happl-
ness and peace, <

Bdltor Sylvan Valley News:
My very go6d friend, Mr. W* W.
Zachary, in hia recent article on
the road law, says: “We have no
•. • •' representative in the gen
eral assembly thiongh whom we
can ^t relief.’* Now in so far as
the criticism applira to me person
ally I am consciously indiff^trent.
but I wish to resent the intimation
of unfairn^. discourtesy and tn-
sincerity niade against my friend,
Senator W. J. Hannah, and in do
ing so wish to say that Mr. Han
nah’s coarse has not only been con
sistent, but admirably so. He has
simply stood for the practical appli
cation of those high ideals of gov
ernment which make paramount
the rule of the people, and which
principle of government so many of
us loudly proclaim and softly prac
tice. Mr. Hannah called on the
nominal party leaders to get be
hind him with the people and go on
open record with some wCll de
fined and constructive party pol-
icyv This they either could or
would not do. There were some
who seemed willing enough to ad
vise him in a kind of impersonal
way but were just a little bit shy^
about making an open ,and perma
nent record of the matter. And
then I was fortified and reinforced
with convincing and indispufa^j^ei
matter and facts in anticipation of
certain contingencies which l.had:
been informed would arise. Sena
tor Hannah is a man of high ideals,
absolute frankness, and fair to a
marked degree, translating into
practice the much declaimed but
less observed principle of “equal
rights to all and special privileges
to none.” He and I have often
differed in opinion, but I always
found him open to reason and de
sirous of obtaining the truth.
Bigotry, narrow-mindedness and
the little tricks of ^tfle politicians
are no part or parcel of his nature.
The people of our county should
and will remember Senator Han
nah -with gratitude and kindness.
I killed the bond bill in the house,
and amended the road bill so as to
meet the wishes of the people as
expressed in their meeting on De
cember 14 last. Under this bill the
commissioners appoint an overseer
in each township until next elec
tion, when they will be elected by
the voters in the several townships.
They are under the supervision of
the county commissioners and re
port to them.
This is the only reply I desire to
make to Brother Zachary’s article.
The publication of his bill is the
best answer to his communication.
An revoir. Respectfully,
Chas. B. Dbaver.
BREVARD INSTITUTE ^
Miss Coville’s pupils gave a re-
bital Saturday night, which was
very enjoyable
Something new in the wsy of a
program was introduced. Instead
of giving the names of the selec
tions a moral or phrase was substi
tuted, and the audience requested
to-guess the name of the number
played. A priM was awarded to
the person who guessed the largest
humber of titles. Mrs. L. D.
Thompson won the prize—a pretty
picture. The pt^pils who took part
were Misses Carter, Wells, Cline,
Johnson, Beck, Brothers, Ferrell,
Callahan, Martin, Palmer, Brindle,
Moore, Josey and Roberts, aoucl
Messrs. Laintee, Macias and Doug
las.
The l»st quarter of the school
year is !;inder way. A number of
new pupils have registered, espe
cially in the normal department,
and every one is working hard.

who came in for the normal, were
Kuddenlv called home by illneee in*

MR. AYRES GOING AWAY
——
The many friendspf Mr. and Mrs.

that they are soon toieave Brevard

Brevard next Wednei^y.
Mr. Ayres has sold his jewelry
business to Mr. Frank D. Clement

dry goods, clothing, notions, shoes,
etc. In addition to their already
lar^ge stock of goods they are this
week opening up about five thou
sand dollars worth of new goods
that Mr. John C. Deaver bought
while in Baltimore recently.
Their line of tailor-made clothing^
, makes one of the best displays ever
brought to this county, and the
Wies will certainly find much
pleasure in making a visit to this
store, for they have an unusually
large display of dress goods, in
cluding the unpronouncable names
for the latest style weaves. It’s
enough to make a man’s head swim.
Read their advertisement on the
last page of this issue and then call
