fMATAMAN ROOSEVELT,
I’RESlDEST OF PEOPLE
A* the great Shires would have
people 'elieve him to be in th*
realm of baseball, and as the Dean
brothers probably are in the same
line, Sv to our mind is Franklin
Roosevelt when it comes to handling
matter:, pertaining to relief of the
destitute.
While it is entirely possible that
politics a:ut graft have bath entered
into the relief work that has meant
sc ■ uch to people of the United
Sta during the past year, and
whi there are always some scala
wag in a large number of people in
one band that numbers into the
thoo ands, still the man at the head
—th.> president—is 100 percent, as
we see him, for the fellow who needs
help regardless of how he voted in
1931! or how he intends to vote in
1930.
Ale. ys a stickler for independence
in things political (even though some
leaders in both parties in this sec
tion t.iok askance to such people) we
firmly believe that the time will soon
ri m • when there shall be no rigid
lines that have been instilled by
PARTY-men that one must “vote’er
straight" to be a real citizen. In this,
we are, small though we may be,
not alone, for that prince of a MAN
-ay: that welfare oi ALL THE
PEOPLE must be safe guarded and
politic- go hanged.
In th face of severe criticism by
Democratic leaders the president had
the nerve to tell the 48 state direc
tor- of relief work last week in
Washington that: ‘‘This work has
nothing to do with partisan politics
—nothing at all. A great many of
you aie Republicans, a good many
W^fl^HI^-^jiiiteanumber do
not bclcng regularly to any party o*
the oth.r. We are not the least bit
inteicsted in the partisan side of the
picture_even if you hit the big
gest political boss in the United
States on the head.’
Whatamnn, whntaman!
SETTER KEEP AS EYE
OS SOME YOUSG GIRLS
Just a- a friendly warning, we
suggest that some mothers and
tathers in Brevard take a little time
off train their regular routine and
find cut just where their young
daughters aie anti how they arc
spending their time.
There uni entirely too many girls
of the age fourteen,, sixteen, to
eighteen "going places and doing
things" that would shock even the
most careless mother and father io
thi> community. May!*' it la none of
this newspaper’s business, and maybe
we sre things in an old-fashioned
way. but be that as it may, we are
seeing things and seeing them plenti

WHAl WILL THE
FELLOW SAY?
Carl Goerch, editor of .the Stats,
peppiest and most straight from the
shoulder newsmagazine coming “to
our desk, leaves little for the legisla
tive candidates to talk about.
In an editorial last week headed
•Watch Out For The Big Talkers,”
Carl says:
“A week or so ago we had some
thing to say in these columns rela
tive to candidates for the legisla
ture who were advocating certain
measures of tax reform. W c’d like
to fay just a few more words cm the
same subject.
‘‘DON'T be misled by the candi
date who promises you tax reduc
tion along any particular line, be
cause there can be no reduction in
taxes during the forth-corning year.
Or, if there should be any such re
duction. it could be but very little.
“Don’t be fooled by the candidate
who tells you that he is opposed to
the sales tax or that he is opposed
to the present fee being charged for
aut license tags, or that he is in
favor nf u reduction in the gasoline
tax
‘Kiep this one point in mind:
•Whenever a candidate _tells you;
that he is in favor of eliminating or
reducing any form of taxation, ask
him tn tell you definitely what kind
,rf a tax he is going to favor in its
stead.
“And please! DON'T let him get
by with the assertion: “Oh, I favor
a general reduction and strict
economy along all lines" That does
n’t mean a thing. Make him be
specific and ccncrete. If he tells you
that the state can get along without
some other tax to take the place of
the sale.! tax or gasoline trx cr
tax on auto license plates, tell him
he’s either a fool or a liar.”

THE CERTAIN SIGN OF NEW
PROSPERITY
(Winston-Salem Journal)
A dealer in real estate in Winston
Salem says business in January was
lie best it had been in a long time.]
li is confident that real estate is |
■t last beginning to climb back to
former position of first rar.k
n the investment, world.
This being true then it can be
•lid with truth, that we arc now
witnessing the first certain sign of
>. new prosperity in this country.
Ideal estate—land—is the fundamen
tal wealth of all the material realm.
We can have no genuine, Round,
permanent business recovery until
real estate begins to take its right
'ul place in the thinking of those
who have money to invest.
The real index to general pros
perity is not the stock market, but
the real estate market. Once land
begins to move, everything will start
going.
Somebody wrote the truth when
he wrote the following:
“I am touched by everybody and
within reach of alt.
“I am the world’s mightiest pow
er, its greatest asset, its humblest
servitor.
“1 am its treasure house, its chief
financier, its paymaster.
“I am its homes, its garden plot,
its children’s playgrounds.
“I am its mines, its oil fields, its
forests. v
“I am its bulwark against anarchy,
against bolshevism, against radi
calism.
“1 am insurance for the widows,
the orphans, the aged.
“I encourage thrift, right think
ing and sane living.
“I give the property owner bor
rowing power, credit, material,
wSrth.
“I confer on people prestige, in
dependence and prosperity.
“I confer all opportunity and con
tentment.
“I war on high living costs.
“I increase fast ill value, slowly
price, steadily in income.
| “I am tangible, imperishable, im
j mutable.
“Yes, of all the I nm’s I am the
! greatest tangible I am.
“I am real estate.”

truthfully say that President Roose

(From the file of Jar.. 7, 1898)
Dr. Wallis nns gone to his old
home in Virginia on a visit, leaving
his wife and household furniture in
Brevard. He has become attached to
jur mountain climate and people,
and if he can rent or iease hfs pro
perty there satisfactorily he will re
turn and fully identify himself with
Brevard and its future prosperity.
Ha had established a large end rap
idly growing practice, and his friends
will be pleased to know that he de-|
tides to remain among them.
A. P. Stamey, commonly known as
Tuile, who lives in the Cathey’s
Creek section, came near losing his
life in an effort to save his children,
lie was cutting a small tree near his
home for firewood Sunday evening
when a puff of wind started it to
"all in an opposite direction from
what he had intended. A hasty
glance showed him that two of his
children were in danger and he
rushed under the falling tree to their
assistance. He succeeded in shoving
them out of harm’s way but received;
severe injuries to his back before he
could save himself. The first report,
thet reached here was that his back;
was broken and that he could not!
live. This appears to have been anj
exaggerated statement, as the phy
sician who was called in pronounced
the injuries in no way dangerous. It
was, however, a close call.
News reaches us that on Friday
last the beautiful and accomplished
daughter of Daniel Owensby, living
on Mills River in Henderson county,1
committed suicide by hanging. Sb"
was an intelligent,, attractive and,
highly respected young lady, and Iter j
wedding was to have occurred yester
day. No motive is known for the
sad deed.
Richard Ledbetter of Boyd and
Miss Heater Jones of Buncombe coun
ty wen married at the home of the
bride on Wednesday. Rev. Pellops of
Arden pronounced the ceremony.
.luiiifs L. GlSzenor, aged <15 years,
died at his heme in the upper French
Broad valley near Jeptha on Monday
night and was buried at Mt. Moriah
church on Wednesday. Mr. Glar.ener
was loo well known throughout the
county to need any words of praise i
from us. In early life lie married a
has lived and raised his family on
tin farm where death has at last.,
overtaken him. Funeral services were,
conducted by Revs. I. T. Newton and,
J. M. Jordan.
We learn that the Brevard Dank
ha- mid its business and "good will
le the State Bank of Commerce m
Honikrxonvillo. We kii'W that for
months past the Brevard institution
had been running in the interest ol
Hendersonville and its development,
but we were unprepared for the
| news that the "good will’ cfouv
thrifty citizens had been bought In
the Hendersonville bank, and if so
wo seriously doubt the ability of the
=cllcr to deliver the goods. This is
in no sense a bank failure, nor was
it- removal necessary on the ground
of a lack of support. If farmers
have no money to deposit it. doesn t
take long to loan cut the paid-in
capital ana surplus, and that end^
the bank's resources. The gold
! standard doesn’t furnish farmers
with money to deposit.
Special bargain in horseshoeing.

months at 60 cents. Bring cash or,

The Southern Drug company has
dissolved and the partners are now,
engaged in dividing the sttock. This,
wrs a consolidation of two or three
drug stores and after u division there,
will be ample for two ordinary drug
stoves. It is now understood that N.
McMinr. will continue business at
the old stand while Dr. Geo. H. r.
Cole will transfer his port, along
with his other Brevard interests, to
the State Bank of Commeiee at Hen
dersonville.
The postoffice at Eucasta was re
move.! last week to the residence of
Joshua Orr at the foot of Little
mountain. This move succeeds in dis
commoding one of the oldest and
wealthiest settlements in the coun
ty, and is creating a kick that is
bound to be felt by the party that
would be guilty of such perfidious
action for partisan ends.
