Six Months .*5| HOME TOWS WAKING UP Folk in Brevard are feeling better, taking on a new outlook, and casting i ll' to a «rcal excer.t, the old tired i feeling that has been too evident in the past couple of years. Two thing- of importance during the week bear out this statement—! organization of the “Welcome to, Brevard-’ group and tlu Fish & Game; Protective association, both of which will, il" followed through, make for better conditions, better business and naturally, a happier people. Then. Donald Leo Moore and other members of the Brevard municipal band are making effort to revive the I old group’s interest in music with a view to having concerts here this summer. Plus, the magnificent swim-, ming pool that is soon to bo com pleted in the newly started Brevard park. Our industries are running nicely, full forces on the payrolls, farmers looking with favor on increased prices over this time last year tor their products, reports from Florida and other sections that the resort business is best m years.. and on and on...things look bettter for Transvlvania county, and we believe our people are actually "waking up. MOSTE CARLO Ob’ WALL STREET National Industries News Service has aptlv given proper name to in fluences of the so-called money cen ter of the country, Wall Street, m advocating passage of the Fletcher Kayburn bill. Following is the NIX’S bulletin: Congress is having lots of trouble trying to do its duty, in the lace of Wall Street influences. The latter wants the old stock market racket to keep right on going—perhaps be cause a new crowd of suckers has been getting ready to bite the ban. If the Flctchi r-Tlayburn bill passes the stock market will be compelled to pass out legitimate securities to the public, under competent Federal r gulation. Hut if Congress backs down on this issue and permits the big Monte Carlo of Wall Street to continue with its flim-flams the next depression will likely arrive on the usual schedule about the time the country gets out of the present one. Looks as if the Congressional Com mittee is going tc make a wart out of Professor Wirt. Congratulations to Ed Patton— and bet you a doughnut lie makes good in his new job. “What’s In A Name” asks a news paper headline.well, just call somebody an “old so-an-so” and find out for yourself. “Our fault, Mister, and wej apologize” and that goes for ev-1 erything and to everybody. Tooj much fist-slinging around these, parts. Yes, sir! We apologize, dont; hit us even once. An outstanding fact was noted in; criminal court here last week—the large number of white men up on charges of law violation against the very, very few negroes. ____ i Best we can say for Bishop Can non is that he had good sense but poor judgment. We don’t blame him for pocketing political money, but fall out with the way he handled the deal. Just because some people gamble is no reason why states should adopt a lottery system to raise revenue. Same thing could be said about bringing the old "red light district back into existence, operation of state owned barrooms, or many other things that are distasteful to many of the best people of the coun try. “How many senators and con giessmen should be re-elected?” a3ks The Hendersonville Times-News, and then turns right around and says the majority of them ought to be left at home next election. Maybe you’re right, Brother. One thing we can’t understand how the same fellow would be arrest ed three times in one week for the same nlfense. May we Suggest that be be sent to the roads and stop ex pense against the town and county and at the same time stop him from thinking that laws are playthings. asks help for the 11A PIT ST HOSPITAL Editor The Times: 1 have received a letter from Mr. Smith Ifagaman, superintendent of he State Baptist hospital, and he uges t hr. t each church in the assoc ali'a out on a special program for ,'i' thcis’ Day, the secon 1 Sunday in .V >y.

H ANTS I.EGISLA T1YE ASSISTANCE Kditur The Times: Allow me space in your paper to ! give to the people of this county ui I few of my thoughts on a matter j which appeals to me as being of; | vital interest to a large number of i home owners in this county and; that, is taxes on the homes. As von know, wo have, for many years.'had a law providing that when a home was sold for taxes the owner had 12 months in which to redeem it by paying the taxes and costs, and retain his home but it is not fo now. It any tax payer will see secuun 17 at page 12(! of the Act of 193" he will see that when the tax collec tor forecloses on a man’s home for taxes he makes a deed in fee simple 1 lo the purchases and the home is gone from the tax payer for good. Xow here is the point I am strik ing at- there are hundreds of poor nn'ti and women in our county who ow taxes for two, three and four ' years and can’t pay for either year. I think we should ask the next leg ; islature to wipe out all back taxes for 1930 and previous years and start in anew with the new deal. Some will doubtless say—“I have paid my taxes and the other fellow is no better than I am.” That is true, but when the land is sold and the county bids it in that will not . put any money into the treasurer s hand to help finance the county, so, th county has just lost a home-own er and gained nothing. I believe, that with the reduction in both valuation of property and rate on the hundred dollar valuation, that if we were relieved of the strain of back taxes that we could begin 1 to see through the depression, pick up new life and again start the wheels of progress to rolling. I believe all our people would be interested in bearing more about this matter, and suggest that some one who is more able than T, dis jtUSS U- T. C. McCALL j Lake Toxaway. W. 0. W. NEWS W. H.
