North Carolina conference, i President E. J. Coltrane, presiding ov.r tiic auspicious occasion, wel cvmed 1'.' student body, faculty and visiting friends. In his opening remark- he commented on the fact that this was a historic day and an important event in the life of the town of Brevard, the county of transylvania. Western North Caro lina, and an extremely important day in tin history of the Western North C.iroliiui eoni 'ixnce of the Methodist church, South, under whose owner shio Brevai i Coliege is starting its first year of operation. Hr. W. \V. Peek', pastor of the First .Methodist church, Charlotte, and chairman of the board of Christian education of the Western North Carolina Methodist conference, was the main speaker of the exer cises, and delivered a timely and forceful message with especial appeal to the large group of young people comprising the student body. Because Brevard College is a new institution with no historical back gn und, no cherished traditions and ni established customs, Dr. Peele, striking the keynote of his address, pointed out that the students now forming the nucleus of the college aie facing a challenge to future achievement and determining the future history of Brevard College. He wanted to c ngratulate the stu dent body, he said, not on what they had ulrcud.v achieved but rather on what the Western North Carolina .Methodist conference and interested friend of the college expected of them and had faith in them to achieve, in the many opportunities befere them to blaze the trail for other? to follow. In his closing re marks Dr. Peek1 mentioned four things that should characterize an institution of this kind: Thorough ness in work, simplicity in life, hon est labor and lcve for the cultural.

COMPLETED WASHINGTON, Sept. 2&—One of he meat complete geological surveys t' the gold deposits of Western North Carolina, reaching from Vir ginia to South Carolina, and from he foothills to the crest of the Blue lidge and Unakas, has just been c mpleted by the United States geological survey as a public works proj.it. Sena’Vir Robert R. Reynolds, who is regarded as responsible for having .he survey made, has been following ..s progress closely, has been sn .otmed by the geological survey that ail reports of engineers have been iceived and that the preliminary re p rt will be written and released as soon as possible. The junior senator has asked that the work be expe dited in order to assist in certain d velopments that are being planned .n the Charlotte and neighboring areas. While the geological survey is not et able to supply any data relative the findings of engineers who sur cved the Western North Carolina country, it may be said that the ..port will reveal vast deposits of „uld in various sections where it has ,’e.n worked in a desultory fashion s fpr back as 1818. Since the first discovery of gold in Franklin county iid other areas the government has opt in close touch with developments and during the past 25 years a com plete survey has been proposed »om time to time. But with other matters pending and especially since industrial de velopment had supplanted gold min ng east of the Rockies, funds to make the survey were never avail able. With the inauguration of the PWA and consequent availability of funds to pay mining engineers and ui.tallurgists the project has gone lward upon an intensive scale in order to furnish information to peo ple who arc interested in develop ment of deposits. It is understood that a large group ,f capitalists interested in gold min ing have been following the survey •iiisely and in anticipation of data being revealed that will justify in vestments, are ready to cooperate with people of Charlotte, Asheville, ami other populous centers in wrest ing the yellow metal from the ground. butts to success, and Dr. A. W. Plyler, editor of the North Carolina Christian Advocate, who emphasized the athletic phase of education. The exercises opened with the - inging “Come Thou Almighty King” by the audience, followed by prayer by the Rev. L. B. Hayes, presiding ' eider of the Waynesville district, i Profe > >r Homer Compton, assistant in music and teacher of voice in the | college, rendered two solos during the program, “Open The Gates of T..e Temple” !”'d f’WL’ord Is My Light and My Salvation.” After singing “Love Divine, All Love Excelling” by the audience, the benediction was pronounced by-thej Rev. Paul Hardin, pastor of the Waynesville Methodist church. The man who has no children knows how to raise children, just as the man who has no money knows how to invest money. Profitable Cows!

A commission, headed by Senator W. 0. Burgwin, Davidson, is now studying plans fori unemployment insurance and a bill is likely to be introduced establishing j an unemployment fund administered by but without expense to the state. The unsatisfactory situation prevail ing in workmen’s compensation fields is going to bring a bill from Senator S. P. Dunagan, Rutherford, who will be in the house next session, for the state to write this type of insur ance. EDITOR GOERd ON I PROHIBITION IN N.C (The State) Every individual who is interested at all in public affairs occasionally expresses his opinion on what is taking place. In the majority of instances, those expressions are mBde with genuine sincerity, Sometimes, however, sub sequent developments bring about an entirely different status of affairs. When that happens, the individual is confronted with two options: either he can subbornly adhere to the views he has sponsored, or else he can admit that he was wrong. Doing Away With Prohibition Daring the progress of the cam paign for the repeal of the Eighteen th Amendment, this publication ! strongly advocated abolishment of our national prohibition laws. We were absolutely sincere in our posi tion. We thought that repeal would result in an improvement of condi tions throughout the country and would do away with many of the evils which had beer, brought about through prohibition enforcement. Perhaps other states have bene fited through repeal. Perhaps the racketeering and hi-jacking on the part of bootleggers has been stopped. Perhaps a lot of the graft which was paid out to municipal and county officials also has been ended. As to that, we cannot say. An Admi& ion o; brror But as we observe conditions here in North Carolina, we cheerfully admit that we were wrong in our views.... Worth Carolina is a thousand times better off under the Turlington net than it would be if it followed, the example set by other stales and permitted liquor to flou, freely and without any restrictions whatsoever. We cannot help but shudder when we think what would have happened during the progress of the textile •strike if the men had been able to buy liquor at any street corner in any town in North Carolina. It is ; true that no particular difficulty is \ experienced in obtaining all the ■ liquor one wants in this state but, [despite the fact, it isn’t quite the I same as having it readily available at any store you might happen to come to. I Conditions Elsewhere ! We heard a prominent state offi cial comment last week or. a t*ip he made to Norfolk. He was in that city Saturday night and counted scores of drunken men and women on Granby street. A long line of pros pective purchasers stood in front of the store where liquor could be bought. It wasn’t the kind ot sight which we would like to see in Ral eigh, Winston-Salem, Charlotte or other cities of North Carolina. We believe that our state, at the present time, is in better condition than any other in the union, so far as regulation of liquor _ traffk is concerned. It is d condition which should meet with the approval o) both Drvs and Wets. Better For All Concerned The Drys have the law on their side. So far as any public sale of liquor is concerned, such a thing doesn’t exist. Neither do fre have any public drunkenness to amount to anything. The Wets can get all the liquor they want. They can buy it in Bal timore and New York and—if they, wish to take the risk—can bring it into North Carolina with them. Or— WHIRL AT THE WORLD OF NEWS Item* of interest gleaned daring the past week Lindbergh Kidnaping Solved New York—The mystery of the kidnaping and death of Charles Lindbergh Jr. has been solved due to two alert filling station operators. Bruno Richard Hauptmann, an alien German fugitive from justice, was | held without bail on charge of ex Itortion of the $50,000 Lindbergh ransom. Hauptmann gave a $10 gold certificate to the filling station at tendants in payment of charges for | five gallons of gasoline and the filling station men took the number of his car. He was arrested soon thereafter. Over $13,000 mere of the ransom money was found at his home. Web Of Evidence In Case New York—These are vhe main stays of evidence connecting Richard Hauptmann with the Lindbrgh kid napping:: Identificaticn of his handwriting as corresponding with that in the ; ransom notes. | Finding of ransom money about 1 his home. j Ilis identification as passing the ' ransom bills. Admission that he had worked ' near Hopewell, N. J., scene of the j kidnaping. His own statement that he was a carpenter and cabinet maker. The i kidnap ladder was constructed by an j expert carpenter, authorities say. Resemblance of “mysterious fel with only a little difficult and I trouble—they can buy all the corn (ard rye liquor they want, right hero in our own state, and they can get j it at much lower prices thin they have to pay elsewhere. To be per fectly candid about it, the North 1 Carolina brand of liquor is vastly I superior to any of that which it ; brought here from outside. Wc Voted Absolutely Right And so, we say again—as develop ments thus far have indicated, we ' vottd absolutely right on the ques tion of repeal. We hope that the state will maintain its existing 1 statutes and that all efforts to 'change them will be thwarted. ! And, in order that there may be I no misunderstanding, permit us to 'add that personally we are wet. ! TELEPHONES—Few people around j the state capitol believe that the 'Southern Bell Telephone company , has convinced the state utilities com ! mission that phone rates in North 1 Carolina cities should not be reduced. The company offered a mass of data at the hearings in Raleigh but people supposed to be in the know predict that talk will be cheaper when the commission announces its decision, i _ BIG SCRAP—Lines are being drawn for the forth-coming battle over diversion of highway funds in the next legislature. Leaders in favor of . pending the gasoline tax on the roads feel that they have a natural majority but see dangers of trades being made with individual members having pet bills they wish to put. through. It’s going to be lively with the schools, anti-sales taxers, county commissioners and others all wanting to get a finger in the gasoline money. If they all get what they want there won't be much left for building and maintaining roads. Women in trades are numerous in Britain. ___ -I'.■taiafraMlirmilbimilllir low” who sought to inspect the un finished Lindbergh home st Hope well six months before the abduction.
