to this fact.
Witnesses said that Brown had
procured an ounce of carbolic acid
on Thursday afternoon before his
death, and had poured it into a
small amount of whiskey, possibly
half an ounce and it was this mix
ture that he is believed to have taken

you believe I’ll dring it?" he asked

AAA WANTS TO HELP
BEAUTIFY HIGHWAYS
R. W. Koch of the Carolina Motor
Club, was in Brevard Tuesday in
interest of a highway beautification
program for this county, and ex
pects to be back here within a few
days to take the matter up with the
Women’s Civic club or other organ
izations.
Mr. Koch said that the Carolina
Motor club is furnishing experts in
this line of work without any cost
whatever to the counties who wish
to go into the work, and are help
ing in the organization and' actual
work being doife and to be done.
While hero the AAA man com
mented upon the fact that this
county is the only one in Western
North Carolina that has its school
buses painted |he regulation stats
color and said this ought to cut
down on any accidents that might
happen to children by motorists.
He called attention to the fact that
the state law requires ail automo
biles to stop nnt less than fifty feet
from any school bus which is load
ing or unloading passengers.
The hoy patrol, to be instituted

MISS WHITMIRE SAYS
ROAD NEEDS WORK
I _
(Continued from vaae one)
. ness she has to walk one mile
through mud to the highway. If
that isn’t a shame to the county leL
'me know. So, Mrs. Gravely, we peo
ple are ju3t as sore about our road
as you East Fork folks can ever
be. The above mentioned incidents
are only a few of such happenings.
A girl living on this road had to
i give up her position as music teach
] er in Rosman High school because
she could not drive over the road
and was not making enough to pay
j board. Then a few years ago a man
who lived on this road died and the
i neighbors had to work on the road
all .day in order to get his body out
! for burial. Yet it is a disgrace to
| tell all this on the country but it is
; a worse disgrace that it has and is
i actually happening *n the county.
| Mrs. Gravely is right—this is elec
i tion year»and before long the car.di
j dates’ will be coming around with a
grin a yard long, wide and an inch
thick on their faces telling the same
old tale we’ve heard for five years.
“If you will just vote for me I’ll
see that your road is fixed.” We,
like fools, have bit, but we are far
from Missouri now. There will have
to be some real road fixing first.
Now we would like to ask the
road officials a question or two:
Why has this particular road of
about two miles not been fixed?
When to my certain knowledge two
residents of this road have offered
to give plenty of sand and rock to
' gravel the full two mileB, and othei
roads of no more importance have
been graveled and the rock hauled
' for miles.
Well. Mrs. Gravely, if we can
I keep our faith a while longer God
i will give us the only road help we
! ever get—through the March winds
j and the hot summer sun- (Amen).

sonal experience in flower culture.
She brought out the facts concern
ing acid soil beds and alkali beds,
and the kinds of flowers best adapt
ed to growth in each variety of
soil.
For the benefit of those interested
in flower culture who were not able
to attend the meeting and hear Miss
Boswell’s discussion, an outline of
her talk is given below:
ACID SOIL BEDS — Preparation
sand, cak leaves pine needles, ample
drainage. Preservation, acid leave0,
acid water. Exposure, west and
north. Flowers needing acid soil—
Azaleas, rhododendrons, anemones
astilbe, columbine, dicentra (bleed
ing heart), digitalis, ferns, hibiscus,
iris (beardless variety). Many va
rieties of hybrid lilies succeed best
in acid soil0, thriving in rhododen
dron plantings.
ALKALI SOIL BEDS—Prepara
tion, wood ashes, lime. Flower0
suitable to alkali soil — Asters,
daises, chrysanthemum, phlox, del
phinium, iris Germanica .annuals in
variety. Garden planting, deep cul
tivation: dahlias, gladicdu0, roses.
SCHOOLS EXPECTED TO
START UP NEXT WEEK

it is expected that schools of the
county will resume their work on
Thursday, of next week after being
closed for two weeks on account of
measles.
Professor G. C, Bu& stated Wed
nesday that no definite statement
could be made at this time, but that
a check up would in all probability
be made the first of next week by the
county board of health and school of
ficials.

job with the CWA and what about
these fellows that gave up their busi
ness to get in as basses etc. on the
CWA projects that were intended
for the needy and unemployed.
Who is to blame for it? Another
thing I hear a lot ox kick about is
employing the same Ikwsss and su
pervisors in> the CWA project as
were employed in the community
cannery here, which was opened
early last summer. Now the-.’ are
fine folks and have done splendid
work and their intentions are good.
Yet in the meantime there are lots
of others that are competent and
need food and clothing. Why couldn't
it be' divided up? What's wTong?
What’s it all about? Do we not know
the meaning of the CWA? Is it to be
used for the benefit of the needy
and unemployed, or a few to make
money? Or, is it supposed to be used
politically? I think it would have
been a good idea if iome one had
gone to a training school and found
out;
There’s no use to try to undo
the wrongs that have been done.
But I hope the people of our town
and county will open their eyes and
never allow the hand of injustice to
wave over our head? again, but will
find out who is to blame.
