LOCAL COMMITTEE
STILL ENDEAVORING
TO ELECT TEACHERS
Jones, Glazener, Miss Puett*
and Miss Strickland Not
Approved By Bush
Editor The Times:
We believe it is fitting and proper
that people of the Brevard school
district should be informed as to
status of the Brevard teacher situa-1
tion, and offer the following facts: j
A meeting of the local committee ;
was held with County Super.ntend
ent G. C. Bush on Tuesday atiernoon, I
at which time the matter f selecting
teachers was again taken up.
Names of Professor J. B. Jones, I
Professor Julian Glazener, Miss|
Juanita Puette and Miss Janie Strick- i
land were presented to Superintend-,
ent Bush for his approval, it being ,
the opinion of all members of the
beard that these teachers should be
re-elected along with the other
teachers whose names were published ;
two weeks ago. Mr. Bush refused to j
approve the selection of Mr. Jones,
Mr. Glazener, .Miss Puette and Miss
Strickland, but would give no defi
nite reason for his not so doing.
All of the other teachers elected
tw weeks ago were approved.
We reiterate, we have heard of r.o j
reason why these teachers shoul d not I
be re-e ected, and as we are residents I
of the County of Transylvania, own,
property here, and have every inter
est of the children of the district at
heart, as well as the welfare of the
general public, we want the public;
to understand that delay n opening
of the schools of Brevard district
cannot be charged against the local
committee.
Respectfully submitted.

SCHOOL BUSES NEED
FIXING SAYS DRIVER
Should Raise Allotment For
School Transportation
Instead of Cutting
Editor The Times:
I read in last week's Times where j
the allotment for transportation of |
Transylvania school children during;
the year 1934-35 had been cut $1,800.
I can’t understand how it could be1
cut any as all the bus drivers get j
only $17.75 each per month, and the
officials said that there was not
enough money last year to buy suffi
cient parts to fix up the old trap that
was being used last year to transport
the children.
Now it looks to nu^ after such a
bad wreck caused by an old worn out
truck on Caesar’s Head road last
week that the citizens of the county
would look into the matter of such a
cut and see that there are trucks that
will be in the best of repair. The
school board has a very able mechanic
or the old traps that have been on
the roads ten years would have been
smashed to pieces long ago, and very
probably would have killed or crip
pled lots of children.
The reason I am calling this to
the attention of the people is that I
drove one of the old traps for two
and one-half years, and there never
was a time that either the foot brake
or the emergency brake would lock
a wheel, only slow the bus down, and
in case of a quick stop would have
been calamitous. This was no fault
of the mechanic—it Was the old
worn cut bus, and I hope that there
will be busses that will not cause
such a tragedy a< happened last
week.

Henderson Says Colliers Writer Is
Misinformed About Politics In N. C.
Editor Transylvania Times:
I did not intend to bother with any
further attempt to rectify the wrongs
of the earth, but when I saw the |
feeble and pitiful attempt of the un
informed Collier’s reporter to explain
a North Carolina phenomenon and i
how he maligned the fair name ol
North Carolina and heaped insult and
offense on every honorable, intelli
gent, and patriotic citizen, and for
tear no more able scribe would at
tempt to rectify his stupid blunder,
I could not refrain from asking' that
you insert the following explanation
in your valuable paper.
Thank you,
F. HENDERSON.
What bunk. Ah, what bunk, as the
attempted explanation of a political
and prohibition phenomenon in elect
ing Bob Reyolds, a drippig wet, and
then turned right around and voted to
retain prohibition. Truly a paradox to
anyone not acquainted with North
Carolina’s recent political history.
And I am not surprised at Collier’s
fiery reporter, Owen P. White, when
he missed the mark a thousand miles.
He would have you believe that every
man and woman in North Carolina
loves his corn and voted for cheaper
liquor. When in fact he had no idea
what the price of legal liquor would
be. But if he could put any credence
in his congress and senate, he would
have voted for repeal if it was cheap
er liquor he wanted.
For every one of them and every
one else including the president who
had anything to say on the subject
advised that the price of legal liquor
would be put so low that the moon
shiner could not compete. And when
Mr. White insinuates that everybody
in North Carolina, men, women and
children, drink and love and prefer
their moonshine, he is not only exag
gerating, (as Hambone says) he is
just naturally plain lying. And when
he says he could not get away from
the delightfully illegal stuff even in
the fragrance of the dogwood, the
redbud and honeysuckle out on the
highway miles from any house or any
body but himself, it is plain to
everyone he just naturally lied, or
Ise he had drunk himself so full of
the stuff that it ran out all over his
clothes.
No, my dear Mr. White, you just
got the wrong perspective. The
truth of the matter is there is a large
element in North Carolina which
doesn’t drink at all. There is a large
element which does drink, and whicn
does not believe it possible to control
the liquor traffic satisfactorily by
any law or method—save the spirit 01
Jesus Christ, Therefore they are in
different about the method of control
and these are they who brought about
the paradox, the phenomenon, the
apparent conundrum.
Here is the gist and explanation of
the whole thing. The people of North
Carolina have no love for Tammany
Hall nor any of its offspring or af
filiates. And when Tammany Hall
put up its puppet A1 Smith as a
candidate for president in 1924, and
who was defeated for the nomination
in the most spectacular national
democratic convention ever held in
the history of the party, by the over
whelming influence of the immortal
William Jennings Bryan.
And in defiance of the known
strong and determined opposition.
Tammany Hall, its henchmen and
cohorts went tto work the next day
after his defeat and worked resolute
ly, determinedly and incessantly to
force him (A1 Smith) down the
throats of an overwhelming majority
of democratic opposition and did nom
inate him in 1928. Now listen and
understand, North Carolina has al
ways been loyal to W. J. Bryan, who
was then dead. But our loyalty had
not waned. Besides we had another
champion in the great, honorable, and
well beloved F. M. Simmons. He only
had to speak the word. He did speak
and the people obeyed, and the great
happy warrior and spawn of Tam
many Hall went down to disastrous
and ignominious defeat.
And I hope that will be a lesson to
the democratic party they will not
forget for all time to come. That is.
don’t force the nomination of a man
for president who is known to have
! such strong, bitter, and determined
opposition.
Now. here is the key to our para

FIND FOUR RATTLERS
WHILE BERRY PICKING
Blackberry and huckelbejrry pick
ers may profit by the experience of
W. N. Bishop, Tom Garren and Earl
Garren of Cedar Mountain who,
while nicking huckleberries chanced
ujK>n the den of four large rattlers.
The men had been picking berries
when they saw the first snake which
when pursued writhed into a rock
crevice. When a loose stone slab was
removed it revealed three more of
the creatures slithering, hissing and
rattling in a pile. When killed they
were found to range in length from
four to four and one-half feet. Three
of the group had nine rattles and a
button while the fourth had eight
rattles and a button.
BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS
DISPLAYED AT SHOW i
Judge Says Quality of Exhib* j
its Superior To TJiat
of Other Years
Brevard's seventh annual flower
show, held Friday afternoon and
evening in the vacant room adjoining
the Woman's Exchange, proved a suc
cessful event, sponsored by the
Woman’s Civic club.
The judge, Hugo Strongmiller, of .
the Wayside Nursery, Biltmore, pro- j
nounced it outstanding among the
flower shows held here, from the
standpoint of quality of exhibits am1,
carefully arranged classification.
There were fewer varieties of flowers
making up the exhibits this year, but,
according to Mr. Strongmiller, “The
quality of the display made up for
the lack in quantity.” The judge
especially commended the Keystone
camp exhibit.
Many valuable , dze* wore donate,1^
by firms and individuals (or first an ; ,
second awards. Winners in the var
ious exhibits may receive their piiz
swards by communicating with Mrs. j
John Maxwell, chairman of the gar-1
den committee, in charge of the event. 1
Attention is called by the prize com
mittee to tile fact that a few change
were found necessary to be made in
the previously printed list of prizes,
due to the fact that not all of the 1
classes of flowers were entered for ox-1
hibition.
Following are the prize winners in 1
the various exhibits:
