Has Been Subscriber
For Over 40 Years
Back in the 1890’s J. C. Orr began
taking the Brevard paper, and has,
been a continuous subscriber for :
more than forty years.
Mr. Orr was in The Times off ice j
last week to renew his subscription
for another twelve months, and while j
here incidentally made the statement
that since the days when Brevard
was hut little more than a cross-roads
town, while the railroad was being
built from Hendersonville to Bre
vard and while there were still vis
ions of great rail transportation
from South Carolina via Connestee
Cove and on in to Knoxville, the Bre
vard papet; had been coming to him.
First paper taken by Mr. Orr
from Brevard was naturally a very
small cne and carried only brief
news items, but Mr. Orr states that
he has found it to his advantage in
many ways to have the home paper
eome to him each week.

Resettlement Plan
Will Aid Farming
RALEIGH, Oct. 16—The old ex-j
pression, “dirt cheap,” belongs to a
past era, according to James M.,
Gray, regional director of hind utih-j
•/.ation for the Resettlement Adminis-j
tration. i
“Dirt is not always cheap, Mr..
Gray said. “When erosion robs a man
of his topsoil and leaves him with a j
non-productive, gully-cut farm, hoi
i oaliises that his dirt was worth more j
than gold itself. Dirt, in the sense of,
productive soil, is the most valuable,
of all the nation’s resources."
Mr. Gray is directing a program ,
designed to return selected a>-eas oi j
eroded lands in North Carolina, Ten-,
ncssee, Kentucky, Virginia and West
Virginia to profitable use, these
projects being integrated with the |
bread national land adjustment pro
gram of the Resettlement Adminis- |
tration. i

BAREFOOT KIDS HIKE
TO BREVARD AFTER!
MAN GOES ON TARE;
-
Moonshine Liquor Cause of!
Bad Family Trouble In
Lyday Tribe
l Barefoot, with practically no cloth- \
. ing on, and empty stomachs, the1
“women folk” and seven kids at the |
j Grady Lyday shack trooped to Bre-1
I vard during the early Sunday morn- j
■ing hours and found refuge in the I
| county jail.
Grady, the ne-aeccunt man of the I
; faniilv, was said to have “gone on aj
i tare"” Saturday night and severely!
I beat his wife and her sister, Moggie j
1 Leslie, with her young son who make i
their home (if home it may be call-!
ed) with Grady and his wife.
Bruises and black marks about the!
j faces and bodies of the two women, j
plus a good imprint of savage teetb j
| on the arm of Grady’s wife proved j
i the assertion made by the women |
j that they had a bad night of it.
After making the ten or twelve
mile trip from the fastnesses ol Rich
Mountain, the two women,' three of
Grady’s kids ranging in age from j
two to seven, Grady’s wife’s child of I
about nine, Mag’s boy of about six,
or seven, and two children aged
about four that are offsprings of the1
two women’s dead sistei, were given:
shelter in the county jail, where the j
youngsters immediately flopped on i
the floor to take a long delayed nap
What to do with the party of nine]
was a nuandary for Sheriff Wood.
If he earned them back home, there;
! was the drunken, lazy, mean husband
: of one of the women, father of three I
1,-.f the children, step-father of an
1 other, and uncle of three more, to ]
he faced by the browbeaten ill iter-:
-:.te mothers; if they were not sent’
I home, where could they be t
! taken care of, with no public faeili
; ties in the county to care for such i
S cases; to keep nine people as a mat*
* ter of chai'ity was unthinkable; to;
ifind homes for them was impossible.,
j Finally, the only thing that could
be dene was decided upon—the kids]
I and the two women were given a i
good warm breakfast of eggs, bacon.]
(toast and milk, and a car secured to,
;haul them as far as possible, arid ’
|the return to the place called “home’’]
I was started.
In payment for carrying, drag-,
I ging, cajoling and leading the brood j
i of seven kids to town the two women ■
] were given the privilege of swearing1
i out a warrant for Grady, which they ]
] refused to do after thinking it over.:
For tramping the long road.;
I through darkness and cold, barefoot.,
] hungry and sleepy, the youngster?
i were given a good warm breakfast.
