NEED MORE LOCUSTS
IN TRANSYLVANIA
Said a business man to us last
week: “Why don’t you say something
in the paper about locust timber
did ycu know that it is fast deplet
ing, not only here but in other sec
tions as well? It brings a pretty fair
price, and if the supp'y keeps go
ing down as it has in the past sev
eral years locust trees will soon be
worth real money.”
We’re passing the idea along, and
ask you the same—Why not start
a grove on some of the discarded
land that you have? Won’t cost very
much, and wer’re sure that either of
our agriculture teachers will assist
in the planting, and if necessary,
bring a state college expert into
tho • community to help the good
work along.
At least, it’s worth looking into.
fine chance for two
PROFITABLE BUSINESS
There is a great opening in Tran
sylvania county for two profitable |
business enterprises*—one that will;
take care of some surp us horse]
power and the other tc give more,
garage men employment.
If something isn’t done pretty
scon down on the Boyls»on road sev-!
oral teams can find employment
along that important route pulling;
cars and trucks out of the boggy;
mudholcs that wi 1 be found there,
this winter, and the garage fellows]
can find plenty of profit in fixing
smashed wheels, broken spring* j
and axles, to say nothing of the
door and body repairs.
’fcn funny thing how a stats with ,
a “brain trust” l*ke some papers]
daiin North Carolina has, will stag
ger around after spending the thous
ands of dollars the Bovlston road
bed cost, and then forget all about
it. Seems to us that it would have
been n lot better to have bui t the
road for a sand-day top in the first
place if there was going to be noth
ing mere don<> to the proposed sur
face treated mad than has been
done.
HAVE YOU
WRITTEN YETt
There is more than a possibility of
getting Highway 284 built across Pis
gah National Forest, and it behoove*
the citizens of Transylvania county
to take a hand NOW in the matter.
Write a letter to Senator Rey
nolds and Congressman Weaver ask-*
ing them to keep behind the project.
It will cost you nothing but a little
effort and it may help accomplish a
i0t. Beth Wi aver and Reynolds are
interested in the project, but they
will be more interested if they are
continually and emphatically leniind
ed just what this important link
means to this section. All members
•of the Kiwanis c ub and several
other people hate written already
and dispatches from Washington are
to the effect that the matter is be
ing looked into.
If you want to see the road com
pleted, do something about it.
ANOTHER REASON
WHY WE’RE DRY
In the city of Charleston—just
down the road aways—BEFOHE
the ISth amendment went into ef
fect federal agents definitely located
and mapped 208 speakeasies operat
ing in the business district of that
city. This taken from the U. S. Court
records and yet there are plenty of
people who believe that legalized
whiskey will stop il'icit traffic. If
we thought it would do even that,
we might change our mind about
retention of the 18th amendment.
But don’t you believe, honestly, that
the bootlegger will have a better
chance to peddle his wares when
there is no law against having whis
key in one’s possession?
TIMES GETTING
BETTER HERE
We had plenty of proof In our
paper last week that times are get
ting better—towit: Look up the list
of those who are new enjoying wed
ded bibs. Sure, 'they believe jus
like we d» that things are brightei

World r Seen By Associate
Editoi Transylvania Times
Don’t know yet whether this is
myself or somebody else, but who
ever it is I’m here anyway in the b!gj
city. Left Asheville Thursday after
noon, arrived Chicago Friday after
noon;.. .how’s that for swift, safe
and easy bus travel.... riding all
night, to be sure, and not sleeping a
wink, but who minds a little thing
like that on a long desired vacation
trip?,-"'
Went to the World’s Fair the
next day after arrival, and oh, such
sights and wonders! My first and
later impressions of the World’s
Fair might be summed up to fit
these words. "Ib there nothing new
under the sun?” Every exhibit of any
value gives a clear cut picture of ef
ficiency, compactness and swiftness
of modern science and invention, and
of that of the future.
Some of the high ights of the Fair
in brief as observed include: The
Lord’s Supper carved In mother-of.
pearl, valued at a million dollar*
and requiring 27 years to make by
hand... .House of Magic, General
Electric exhibit, showing visible
sound and audible light, or seeing
sound and hearing light (t’m from
Missouri and would never believe it
had ! not seen it)... .Walking canes,
red, white and blue rubber rain
capes, paper parasols, push chairs,
rickshaws, etc., everything in evi
dence_Everbody tired looking but
good natured and intent only on see
ing, resting an eating (might add
that everybody was good natured
but one woman who got the content*
of my frozen custard cup on her
dress when I bumped into her while
rubber-necking along the Midway)
. ..A & P Carnival and Marionette
show,.. .Byrd's South Pole Ship
sitting beside Lake Michigan watch,
ing the rippling waves roll in anti
enjoying the cooling breezes...
Thrill of thrills—the famed Sky
Ride across the lagoon at 210 feet
above the Fair grounds, the two inv
mensc towers, Amos and Andy, tow
ering at a height of 028 feet... .tele
vision in operation, actually seeing
and hearing on the screen n pel son
in another room-Firestone tire
exhibit, making automobile tires
from the crude rubber to the finish
ed product... .Roast beef and four
vegetabes cooked in a compartment
vessel, and nH done and ready to eut
in four minutes ( another believe It
or not tale but true nevertheless)...
Hall of States building, but no North
Carolina building to be seen....The
Midway with all Its modern attrac
tions and amusements for children
and grown ups_400 famous wo
men, in miniature, representing prnc
1 tlrally every nation, costumed uc.
i cording to the dress of the differcnl
periods — Belgian village with all
its novel sights and sounds.
North Carolina handcraft exhibit
.... The model homes exhibit, out
standing attraction of the Fair, it
oh more in all, representing every
type and style of architecture
tvith modern and ultra-modern de
vices—houses of glass, stone, brick
inside and out, steel ,wood—showing
the house of today and tomorrow
The pageant of transportation, Wings
of a Century, wonderful depiction of
ancient and modern forma of tranK
portation.... Egyptian exhibit show
ing furniture inlaid with mother-of
pearl... .enchanted Island with its
many amusements for children....
All these and many more sights in
terspersed with eating and resting
(incidentally I’ve almqist worn out
a new pair of shoes and walked two
bunions and six blisters on nw
feet—but who cares for a matter as
that when compensated by seeing
the World’s Fair?
After leaving Cincinnati all along
the route to Chicago I had the feel
ing that something was chopped off
the landscape, with the broad ex
panse of level plains and fields ev
erywhere in sight hut no mountains
in the background to outline the hor
izon ... Extensive corn fields,with ap
parent’y 60 or more acres compris
ing one field, but none ef the corn
averaging over 8 to 10 feet, I should
judge....All the fields and pasture
lands appearing dry and sparse....
nothing so green and luxuriant in
growth as that in Transylvania coun
ty. .. .Many barns along the way
seemingly freshly painted and in
better condition in many instances
than the dwelling house-A com
mon custom to paint in conspicuous
letters the name of the farm or the
owner across the front of the barn
or on the roof. ...
Doug, don’t you let Mrs. Harm
impress you so favorably with her
work that you won’t let me come
back...-tell her 1 tried to get her
gangster's ear for her but so far
have failed! to locate either.in
fact have seen no racketeering and
onlv two drunks... .tell Brnntiy and
Henry to quit quarreling over who it
to run the linotype-and tell Mr.
Bosse here’s his column.
After seeing every kind of mod
ern device in operation, the very
latest in methods and modes of liv
ing in the present and those pre
,dieted for the future, many my
sterious and unbelieveable wonders
of science, art and invention, und
altogether having just about the
time of my life, sti'l, the grand old
mountains of W. N. C. will look
pretty good to me when 1 return
within a few days.
