While we regret that it is becom ing mere or less a custom with many Of the CCC boys to get “lit to the gills” when they come to town on Sa.urday night , we can’t feel they should be blamed for this misconduct entirely. IIow about the Brevard man who is selling them the liquor— isn’t lie the fellow who should be given the credit? Isn’t it Brevard’s fault that the boys are giver, a chance to get high when they come into town for a little break in the monotony of camp life? Are the citi zens of the community not responsi ble, to an appreciable degree when tho boys get a berth in the county jail for being intoxicated? We’re sorry for boys that have to come into town for recreation and be beset by carrion like we have here. Of course they do wrong when they buy liquor with their little al lotment, and they are doing so when they partake too freely of the high powered fluid and get a little un steady on their feet, but are they to blame? To err is human, to yield to temptation is a trait that has been handed down from the time of old Adam, and it is especially hard for the young fellows who spend month after month in camp to turn a deaf ear to the serpents that crawl around in the grass and beset the boys with their devilish wares in order to make a little money. Brevard, and Brevard residents are to blame, and should be ashamed that a condition exists here as it does. We know for a certainty that the police force is o’oing all it can, but they are getting no cooperation from the folk who should make it a point to see that the CCC boys who come to Brevard are in a decent t KILLING THE GOOSE THAT LAID THE EGG. The other fellow’s side should have a little consideration, and time is now here when there is every evi dence that “the worm really is turn ing” Wall Street, fortress of the mighty American dollar, is leading the rebellion against unfair taxation, and is leading the parade by pick ing the exchange up like the lame man in the Bible and walking off. Tammany greed and Tammany graft are being taught a lesson from a book that will be used as a primer in many sections of the land. PUNK WAY TO TREAT A DOG We’ve "heard tell” recently *f sev eral dogs that died in throes of agony because they had been given "poison and the mind of this writer automatically turns back to the time —when ns a ad on the farm where a good rabbit and possum dog was valued (at least by the hoy) far greater than any horse or cow on the place—back to the time when too ycung and afraid to use cuss words to relieve pent up feelings a sad picture is still fresh: Two young fellows ragged toes tied up and caps askew with a look of sympathy and awe of death, standing by the door of the shuck pen as the pal of st'veial years, just an ordinary old rabbit and pn urn dog that had no claim of coming from the Terhune or other great kennels, lay slobbering, eyes water ing, tongue swo'len, legs stiff, bare ly able to wag bis unkempt tail when the pitiful voices would coax soothingly "Drum, poor old Drum, up Drum.” Then was the evil day of all evil days present, as life gradually ebbed away from the companion who loomed the pasture after the cow-, chased unruly hogs back into tiro pen, killed snakes when and where found, never back tracked a rabbi* i r possum, lay in the house when snow was on the ground and at times when parental eyes were not too keen oven acres' the fool of the double bed occupied by two country lad- who loved their dog next tc father and mother. To .-hoot a «og that is thn o:r of a young br.y oi a friend ■■>! ait older person is bad very bad, es pecially when the di g is not given to suekirg eggs, killing sheep or biting the neighbor’s children. But to r'i r a dog, any oid dog, whether la i worth a whoop or nob, is next thing io dirt, dirty dirt, and we believe will be answerab'e some dry just like other real bad, common, mean ins of commission. Boot old dog that has to die by poison and poor kid that has to see his dog suffer the awful agony that comes from being given poison by a hard-hearted thoughtless person. (Bv Mis. Lee F.

Nearly two thousand cans have beer; put up, and so far only three cans have spoiled. Quite n good record for on y green hands. There is tc be a great convention of organized labor at Chicago Sep tember 27, and if th miners’ stnl ' is not settled before, a paralysis of business is threatened. We notice among on: ccntempcra rics the advocacy of “more farmers in congress.” What we really need is to abolish congress and appoint more judges. There is no need for laws while the injunction mill is in running order, i The hopes of Brevard’s local lift and aceident insurance agent are hopelessly blasted. He was expecting a rushing business in insuring pil grims to K'ondyke when he this week received instructions from the Travelers insurance company as fol lows: “Insurance tickets MUST NOT be issued to persons going to the gold fields of Alaska.” Thus are all his glittering prospects of participa tion in the Klyondyke gold dis 1 coveries dashed to the ground.
