' ■■■ T TEACHERS WILL Funds For October BilLs Now In Hands Of The School Board AIK school, employes in the county are being paid this week for the month of October, accord ing to announcement made Wed nesday by Prof. J. B. Jones,- coun ty superintendent. There was some holdup in the funds ^ from the state board, on account of an outstanding biil against the county of several years’ standing/ dating back to 1930. Th6 bill was made when audit was ordered by the state of the county books, the amount reaching the neighborhood of $5,- 000, part of which was charged to the board of education. Prof. Jones was in Raleigh on Monday and Tuesday and man aged to get funds released with which, to pay the October instruc tional charges. Approximately $7,000 will be paid out, Professor Jones announces. I he declar The “moral issue” which is be ing agitated by Republicans amounts to nothing, he said in ef fect. “Four years ago Hoover was dry—now he stands exactly where A1 Smith stood at that time.” W. E. Breese, county chairman, presided over the meeting. Mrs. Jos. S. Silversteen introduced the speaker as the next governor of North Carolina, and, as a man who had won the confidence of the people from the east coast to the western borders of the state, from Virginia on the north to Georgia and South Carolina on the south. She predicted Democratic success in the national, state and county elections, declaring that there is a 100 per cent united front'in the ranks of the Democratic party.

Ehringhaus, Democratic nominee for governor, extol the policies of the state Democratic reg-ime and make comparisons of the extravagance of the national government. The speaker stressed three points in his speech as prerequi site for good government — hon esty, efficiency and economy — and dwelt at length on the latter.

Out of fairness, the speaker de clared, Frazier should tell ju.st what compo.sed the state indebted ness—for what the money derived from sale of bonds, had been used. He pointed out that the matchless system of highways and the pub lic school system, care of misfits, and only worthwhile objects. These bonds are being reth-ed each year as they fall due, he de clared, and further, that highway bonds are being taken care of by, the people who use the roads and therefore is not a burden to the taxpayers in general. North Carolina people and North Carolina industries pay two-twenty-fifths of all costs of operating the national govern ment, Ehringhaus said, and that there is collected in the state for a.ssistance in operation of the na tional government far more than would be required to take care of all indebtedness and operating ex penses of the commonwealth. While the Republican adminis tration is not wholly responsible for conditions as they exist in the land today, they are to a great extent, the speaker averred. He charged the administration with dealing falsely with the people, and referred to campaign promis es of 1928—“a chicken for every pot, two cars for every garage, and a job for every working’ man.” More than eleven million men are now out of employment in the United States, he said, age- old tariff ideas of the Republican party which have been put up and up until it was a veritable wall, had played a great part in the economic distress of the country. He pleaded for election of Roosevelt as the leader of the next four years, and asked that along with Roosevelt as president be elected a Democratic senate and house. Loud applause greeted his. mention of Bob Reynolds as the next senator. “The only hope jof the people is in Democracy,” Revival seiwices at the Bre vard Presbyterian church began Sunday night, with -Rev. ’H. B. Dendy, pastor of the Weaver- ville Presbyterian church, deliv ering a forceful and timely ser mon before a large audience which filled the churcli almost to its capacity limit.

This advertising program is being tak en care of by people who are en thused over treatment accorded them while visiting this section, Mr. Jerome said. “Transylvania can fill practi cally all of its boarding houses and hotels out of New Orleans and immediate territory if proper effort is made next year,” Mr. Jerome said. People there as a rule are great sportsmen, he said, and while there is plenty of fish ing to be had on the coast, almost unbelievable catches being made. New Orleans people aver that there is no comparison between trout fishing in Western North Carolina and deep water fishing. With proper stocking of streams, and regulations for conservation of fishing here, thousands of peo ple would come here each year, is the belief expressed by Mr. Je- During the business session of the club the matter of sponsoring’ a diphtheria clinic for indigent children between the ages of six months and ten y'ears was taken up, the club voting to sponsor this program, provided co-operation of the town and county could be had in the work.

SOCIALIST TICKET TO BE VOTED AT ELECTION Followers of Norman Thomas will have the privil ege of casting their ballot for him, the Socialists hav ing procured the required number of petitioners to their party represented in the presidential ballot in North Carolina. No senatorial, congres sional or state offices are asked in North Carolina by this party, and no publicly- announced effort has been made in Transylvania county to further the cause ' of Thomas here. Petitions were carried to all sections of the county several weeks ago by inter ested parties and it is ex pected that a small vote will be cast in Transylvania for the Socialistic candidate. Relief Funds Are Helping Many Brighter faces have been seen in the community during the past week, due to the fact that employ ment has been g’iven to a num ber of men in the county through the unemployment relief allot ment of funds.

Boone D. Tillett, Republican nominee for lieutenant-governor was' heard at the court house Monday night approximately one hundred people braving the rains to hear the Republican leader speak on issues of state politics. High cost of state government and their causes came in' for a large part of Tillett’s speech, he charging that an unnecessary number of bureaus and commis sion’s created to give political supporters jobs materially assist ing in running the cost of state government up to almost un bearable proportions. Indebted ness in the amount of $189,000,- 000 has been piled upon, the peo ple of the stat^ the speaker de clared, by the Democrats regime of the past several years. Public officials in North Car olina and especially governors, are not elected by the people of the state, he declared, a small “ring” deciding four and eight years ahead who .would be the next governor. In this, he point ed to E. B. Jefffess, chairman of the state highway commission, and Julian Miller, toth of whom are >.being groomed at state ex pense for the next gubernator ial candidate. “We have no Freedom in North Carolina—al most as bad off as the people were ' before the Revolutionary war,” the speaker asserted. Mr. Tillett spoke for more than an hour. He was introduc ed by Lewis P. Hamlin, -minority leader in the house . of. represen tatives of 1929. Roscoe L. Nich olson, executive chairman, pre sided. Republicans Boost Hoo ver, Newell As Their Party Leaders Republicans of Transylvania have been busying- themselves for sometime to leave this county in the Hoover column, and to build up a big following for Jake New ell, bone-dry candidate for the U. S. senate. Stress has been laid by county Republicans on the necessity of retaining President Hoover in the White House for another term, pointing to him as a man well versed in affairs of the na tion, and standing solidly behind his efforts to guide the nation through a great period of econom ic distress, which, leaders of the party assert, have been hindered by Democratic statesmen. Candidacy for state insurance commissioner of W. H. Grogan, Jr., prominent fraternal leader of Brevard, is also being given stress by the local party officials in effort to carry the home coun ty- of the local man in his favor.
