Such a fellow should be excused, at least to a certain extent. But the fellow who has no right to be excused on any grounds is the one who will kick a fellow after he’s already dawn. Of.lt AGE SKIN-GAME pp.1 re nr to county “ ril ten cents in coin....do not >end stamps as we cannot accept the ' and the ten cents is supposed to '. ■ sent securely wrapped in a picc of paper so that it will reach the OLl> A (IK PENSION concern that is trying to get ten million dimes in, aril ten million votes for Mr. P.lanlo Blank for permanent pres ident of the organization purporting to see that an old-age pension bill is passed in Congress. No promise is made cf a guaran teed old-age pension, no siree, just an "effert” to have “our” bill passed and in the meantime the ten million dinvvS are needed for expenses and for incidentals that will came up while lobbying for the old-age pen sion bill. ‘‘This great campaign is now sweeping the nation, and OUR bill is now before Congress....’’ so clvey (the dime hunters) say in their soliciting, balloting, explanatory let ter to the public from whom the ten million dimes are supposed to be gleaned. No promise of any return on the dimes invested is made....this is very distinctly set out in a few words. “_does not get the mem ber his or her pension before the prop< svd legislation becomes effect ive." You bet your sweet life it does toe: cot the big ram-rods a lot of beiudiful shiny ten-cent pieces of the veu' u chat are good for buying groc *>rie-. .laying house rent, buying fur coat . big limousines and pitching parties. *1 Our advice to our people in Tran sylvaai: county is, that if they have any dimes to invest in old-age pen don that they see any one of the several Transylvania county life in surance agent.-, put their money into, 1 , nipany that is recognized by the I Slate ut North Carolina, and be as sured of an actual return on their , mi r.oy. A to Hu ‘tine" bund) of ‘‘kind’’ fellow who are so generously devot-, inv their time and energy to collect-j ing ten million dimes, we suggest j that their letters be used to kindle! tires or tor lamp lighters, A good j way to net value out of the letters and save matches is to take the dime hunting letter in both hands, lay it an the table with one corner point ing toward the person who has just j read the appeal for “a dime from j you and five more names to whom blank- ran b sent” and begin roll ing in a tight roll until the opposite corner ha- been reached; squeeze the round roll flat and lay on the mantle piece until dark or just after sun down; hold olio end in the right hand and touch lightly to the fire on the hearth and then with the left hand remove globe from lamp and j apply the old-age pension appeal. Twill save money for matches when used thus a a lamp-lighter and will savi the reader ten cents. A for Mr. Blakety-Blank, who is trying to collect ten million dimes, let him get honest work to do or starve. . all of which is to say in plain language: Don’t be a sucker. •’1 the world growing better?”— Count the noses at }he Methodist church during the series of services which begin Sunday and then answer that question yourself. Girl u Los Angeles was badly dinned trying to light a cigarette Hu!, getting her dress on fire instead _which is more fuel for the- fire of those who look rvith disfavor up on ladies smoking. One thing necessary tojnost news paper men’s' well being^gjjJ enjoy ment of life is a cat, and^to Miss Lois Wilson we extend tliauas for filling the void in this writer’.- life after our ’kitty" had died. . AS WE SEE BEST. | CAN’T PLEASE ALL On two different occasions during the week, and in two different lights, this newspaper has been “jacked up’’ about things political. First, one man, a good fellow, good friend of the paper, and a good Democrat, didn’t like the idea of “front-paging” a story about the Republican convention which is to be held here the last of this month | mostly it seemed, he didn’t like the idea of boosting Republican affairs. Then, another good friend of the paper, a good fellow, and a good Republican, didn't like the idea of 1 running a story about all the Derao 1 cratic candidates who announce for 1 office on the front page of the paper, he not caring in particular about reading such "trash” about Democrats. We apologize to our two good friends, and also we apologize to all the folks who are like minded (for the political news that we have car ried in the paper heretofore) and while we’re at it, we may as well apologize for the political news that we will publish next week and the week after, and the week after and the week after. Oh, well, we just apologize for all the political news we intend to print between now and next November, which no doubt, will be plentiful. Things pertaining to political oi ficcs and candidates are of especial interest to lots of folks in the coun ty right now, and will continue to be so until the primary, convention, and election arc all over. As for this newspaper, we’d just a? soon not have elections. It is usual custom for friends to fall out over things political in this county,) and goodness knows we all need to | be friends here now. This news- j paper would like to see an end to) politics in the county, but we don’t: hope for such good luck. In the meantime, people like to read about politics. “Way up in the mountains” means j Transylvania is just a little closer j to the sunshine in winter.... no | snow Friday and Saturday, while) other sections had plenty. Editor over in Kentucky got in jail for letting a fellow write an article for his paper without his name signed to it. We like to have letters in our paper too, but prefer, staying out of jail so sign yours -1 :« made statements from their pulpits that crime was uncontrolled in that city, and next day officers, spurred on by the lashing, went to some j church-owned property and found ■ eight gallons of whiskey—no hiding] behind the church there. Have you noticed the difference in looks of things uptown? Well cast your eye about and see the ef fects "of a little "clean up ” ___ On la la. man in Greenville gets his hair curled just like a woman’s, and is .iust c-r-a-z-y about finger! waves. New -tep being taken by the North Carolina Re-employment ser vice and one that has plenty of merit, is placement of families on farms where at least part of the worker’s subsistence can be made by himself and his family. Community and individual gardens planted and supervised by the relief organiza tion last year produced proof con clusive that there can be no better way found than in letting an un employed person raise at least a part of his foodstuffs. UPPER BOYLSTON (By Lorena McCall) The weather on Boylston is get ting warmer, making it seem more like spring. _. Mr Giilman from Horse Shoe was visiting in our community Fri day . . ... . Mrs. T. R. Duncan is very ill at her home with the flu. T.ittle Helen and Wayne Fullbvight called on little Gladys and Alfred McCall Thursday. Mrs. Jean Eller of Asheville is spending a few days with her mother, Mrs. T. R. Duncan. Carlos Holfl.n was the dinner guest of Leonard Reece. Mrs. Perry Fullbvight called on Miss Eulalia Orr recently. Mrs Will Baynard is somewhat improving from a recent ij'ness Miss Francis King called on Miss Leota Simpson Sunday. Gurley Shipman was guest of Mrs. T R- Duncan Sunday. Crossroads Merchant—No, sir, I ain’t a goin to advertise. Stranger—Why not Merchant—I tried it once an it nearly ruined me. People come from miles away an’ they bought dura near all the stuff I had. Es Pe Ee: Who was that hag vou just danced with? Rho Dam: That was my sister! Es Pe De: Oh, well,'you oughf^o see mine. W. ! GLANCING BACK AT BREVARD Taken from the files of The Sylvan Valley News, beginning 1895, through the courtesy of Mrs. W. B. P. Wright. (From the file of Jan. 28. 1898) W. S. Ashworth’s back shed blew down a few days ago crushing a plank fence. His little child barely escaped. Freddie Galloway little son of T. H. Galloway, met with a painful and nearly fatal faH on last Monday morning. The family live over Mr. Galloway’s store and in hurriedly .at tempting to go down the back stairway which was covered with frost, he- slipped at the top, slid through the banisters and fell to the ground, a distance of 12 feet. He was picked up insensible, but at the present writing he is little the worse for his dangerous experience. J. M. Orr, whose wife died re cently in' the Boilston section, has! moved w'ith his family of little boys! to the Stubbs property, having rent-j ed his farm to his eldest son. Hisi object in moving to Brevard is to be j in reach of better educational fao-ili- j ties. --— | We wonder if it would pay this county to have a good road any i where. There isn’t one in the county j that we hear of. A good road, if j only a mile long, would be an object; lesson that might be contagious. We are informed that an infant child of Mr. Wicker who is sojourn-j ing in the Calhoun section, died. very suddenly ami was buried at 1 Little River last Saturday. It is an old saying that “it never! rains without it pours." We have been trying for two years to find some one here who could dress and “true up” the imposing stones in the News office. This week, when we were crowded with job work the op portunity occurred to have the, marble slabs leveled by a competent j workman, nnd we could not resist the temptation, even if it did com pel us to work nights. Jas. R. Wright, a stone-cutter of Hender sonville and a nephew of Mrs. J. J. Miner, came up on a visit and we made that visit useful. We are pleased that he saw fit to \ isit us, but we opine that he is sorry he came. The Ladies’ Aid Society of the Presbyterian church had quite an in teresting session on Wednesday af ternoon. They organized a class in needlework among the little tots who are destined to be the future ladies of the land. The first efforts of the little fingers are unique specimen'’ and ought to be^ preserved. . The wife of Daniel McCall, who was a daughter of Wash Banther, died at her home in Gloucester last week. She had been afflicted from childhood with occasional attacks of neuralgia, and in conjunction with mountain fever this caused her death. She leaves a family of little children, one of whom is very low, who will sadly miss a mother’s care. Miss Ida Whitmire, eldest daugh ter of John C. and Margaret Whit- , mire, died at the home of her par ents in the Mount Moriah section Saturday last, aged 28 years. After receiving all that the public schools onld give her she was sent to Juu son College in Hendersonville, and was there prepared for her life work a, a teacher. She had become prom inent in the educational field of her own county had taught in South j Gerciina and '.ad made friends and given satisfaction in every field in which her talents had been tested. His health began to fail and tuber culosis developed. For a year or more she had been declining and Saturday last death came. She was buried at Mount Moriah Sunday, Rev. I. T. Newton conducting the funeral obsequies. Only a few months since her younger sister, f Sue, was gathered to that heaveniy home by this same destroyer. The Brevard Banking company are rapidly completing arrangements to open for business about Feb. 1st. The fixtures are being rapidly put in position in the building occupied by N. McMinn’s drug store, and al though not as expensive nor com modious as the corner occupied uj j the Bank of Brevard, will doubtless | satisfy both depositors and borrow ers until the town grows and the demands of business are more exact ing. The bank is assured and our business men are encouraged. Americus Luker, the boy from Waybaek, and Miss Amanda Fowler whose mother lives near Nicholson s mill, were married at the residence of Larkin McGaha on Monday af ternoon. Squire E. T. Henning pro nounced the magic words. We are reliably informed that the new road to Toxaway and Sapphire is an assured fact. Sufficient stock has been subscribed in Brevard and along the line to warrant the build ing of the road and it> is understood that work on it will begin at once. The action of Brevard people in this matter is commendable. We could not afford to allow the Toxaway company to open connection with Walhalla and transfer their rail vav to that point. With the in i'' uer.ee, that the company have in New York and other money centers, this town would be standing in its (>vn light if it did not lend a help ing hand to make Brevard their out let’ We are informed that the sur '-y will be immediately begun, and i> is expected that the road will be r mpleted ready for the summer travel. 1 CHAN HOUSE VITAL TO HEALTHY CHICKS The greatest chick losses occur during the brooding period which makes it necessary to clean the house thoroughly before the chicks are placed in it. “To go about having a sanitary brooder house the poultryman should first scrape all the old manure and dirt from the lower side walls and floor of the house and clean the water containers, mash hoppers and other equipment used in the house/ declares H. C. Gauger, associate pro fessor in the poultry department at State College. “After this thorough mechanical cleansing has been done, the lower side walls, floor, water containers, feeding equipment, brood er stove and canopy should be scrub bed with a lye solution made by dissolving one pound of lye in 10 gallons of hot water. A stiff bristle broom may be used to apply the so lution. This lye mixture will not only further cleanse the house but it ‘ also has germkkilling power. Where the poultryman, has a fire gun, he may use this instead of the lye solution/' After the brooder house hns been thoroughly cleaned, it must be clean ed again at intervals during the brooding period. If the house has a dirt fioor, remove the top few inches and replace it with clean dry soil, sand or gravel. Mr. Gauger also advises the use of wire frames on which to r-lace the feeders and water containers. The house needs to be free from drafts and if it is moveable, i t is well to take it to a new location af ter cleansing. I)o not crowd the chicks in the house. Gauger says. About six square inches of floor space per ’hick is necessary for good health. IN MEMORY OF WALTER G. REECE Funeral services for Walter G.
