Tea, the darkness hldeth not from thee: but the night shlneth as th* day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. Psalms 139:11, 12. WET-DRY ELECTION NEEDLESS VENTURE Results of the Catawba county wet dry contest may well be regarded as a guage for other western counties at this time, and the taxpayers of sev eral counties In which the liquor store element Is urging elections should be spared to foolish venture. Majority of the people In the west ern counties are against liquor stores, at was clearly shown In the Catawba vote last week where every effort was made to carry the ABC stores ques tion. Granting the contended fact that many people advance that "the coun ties would be better off with legalized stores," the evident fact remains that people In the west do not want stores and proponents may as well bide their time, and save the needless expense. ROUSING SHORTAGE FELT IN BREVARD Investment in a building program here will pay dividends, because there Is a shortage of housing facilities, and demand is Imperative for cottages and bungalows of the all-year type. Because one is not able to build half a dozen houses Is no reason why the un dertaking would not be profitable. One house or one dozen houses can be rent ed In Brevard RIGHT NOW at fair rental, and In addition to being a sound Investment will be decided asset to the community. Building materials will not be lower In a long time, and labor will certain ly be no cheaper. The demand is In creasing every day and the wise In vestor, large or small, will do well to check Into the possibility of building. SQUIBS —AND— SQUAWKS --- Two more readers, found for this estimable (?) column—Arthur Hamil ton says he reads it every week, and likes it. and Homer Whitmire up In St. Louis volunteered the Information that he read my efforts every week. —8—8— Evidently W. A. Williams did not read In the paper about my teeth be ing all fixed up, else he wouldn’t have left the teeny-weeny egg with notation that It was for my breakfast. Was just about the size to fill a hollow tooth. —8—0— Prom way off beautiful Hawaii, B. P. Gillespie sends a money order, and statement that although his paper is two weeks In getting to him, It Is al ways read from "kiver to kiver” and thoroughly enjoyed. B. P. is one of Uncle Sam's boys for a few years. —a—a— Had some good eats brought to me last week—Mrs Tim Cowan, real nice smooth tomatoes that were delicious; Harley Lyday good home-made side meat. If there's anything I enjoy more than eating, I don't know what It is, and garden “truck” and home mode meat are the two best. -8-8— More eats—Fate Raxter brought me a nice square of sourwood honey Sat urday, that made all sweet and sugary for Sunday. Made me think hack In the “good old days" when as a youngster we used to hunt bee trees . . . took a lot of patience, some skin, and a keen eye, but It was worth all the trouble, and often the bees would become good hive workers If properly cared for, which insured honey next year and the next. -88 May get something done about that dangerous curve and underpass at curve trestle above Roaman. Patrol man Ervin thinks he will be able to have one row of the heavy timber re moved. Certainly needs something done there before someone Is killed. —8—8— Fifteen years ago when I first came to Brevard we had a fine chap as county agent, Lewis Ammon, now farm supervisor at Cullowhee College. Mr. Ammon still takes The Times, and sends In his check regularly each year. -8-8— Roaman should be proud of Its new Main street. Rode down It Saturday j morning with Chief Freeman, and It Is j really nice. And whoever did that job I of topping the trees along the street Is to be complimented. If there were some white gravel sidewalks built, there would not be a town In North Carolina with a prettier thoroughfare. —8—8— Muddy bog between the railroad and U. S. 64, at Rosmin, however Is pretty rank. Needs something done about it Has been Improved some, but still a long way from being perfect. -8 8 Oat Bryson will soon have a pretty yard at his nifty little brick bungalow up on the Rosman road. Another nice place up the Rosman road Is the coun ty home grounds. Joe Bryson Is to be complimented on his work. No reason why the old folk there shouldn’t en joy, nice things as well as anyone, and the several Improvements that have been made since Commissioner Carl Allison has had oversight of the plant and farm. -8-8— Met a fine chap over the week-end —Dr. Bishop of Tryon. Has a tricky cigarette lighter, pleasing personality, wore new kind of Sunday clothes, and uses a lot of ’'monosyllables." He thinks his home town Is a fine place, but admits that Brevard is ahead when it comes to summer climate. —8-8— Ran Into Editor Billy Ball over the week-end. He Is spending his annual vacation In the Cedar Mountaln-Caes ar’s Head section. Says he manages to keep In good shape from summer to summer thinking of the enjoyable days he can spend In the mountains. He Is ONE South Carolina editor who practices what he preaches, and lets the chips fall where they may. Must be a great life to be able to tell the whole truth, all the time. -8-8 Most misleading headline in news papers during the past week was car ried In the Asheville Times—“All W. N. C. Is Still Dry After Catawba Vote" —Oh, Yeah! StIU dry . . . maybe the headwriter meant " dry as it was." —8—8— Senator Bob Reynolds Is still shooting the bull, an art he Is a pastmaster at— this time he shot a bull" walrus while hunting up on the west coast. —S—S— Evidently some people believe that It pays to advertise. Mall carriers hauled loads of big mail-order catalogs out Monday. —8—8— Stranger In town Monday night want ed to know If there was a meeting of some sort at the City Hall. Well, there was ... It was a lot of fellows "meet ing” the mayor for taking on too much corn, and violation of traffic violations. Work all week for $10 or $12, and then pay the mayor $9.05, sounds like a lot of nlt-wlt foolishness, but there are plenty of fellows who do It. —8—8— Boy, oh boy! Borrowed enough cash to stay off Lem Brooks’ HONOR ROLL this week. Mighty close squeeze, but then the tighter a shoe fits the better the foot feels when It Is taken off. —8 8 Horace Qreely once said "Go West" . . . Little Monte Carlo operators did just that thing Monday. Now we don’t have "an exclusive road house and tea room," and a lot of Brevard fellows will stop driving, down the Hendersonville highway "on business.*' VOTING MACHINES FOR NORTH CAROLINA—UP TO LEGISLATURE TO CLEAN UP ELECTIONS {Mecklenburg Times) It Is not the policy of this paper to say "I told you so," but It will be re membered by our readers that we ad vocated and pointed out the many ad vantages of voting machines prior to the disclosure of recent primary Ir regularities. At that time these ma ; chines were Installed, and only then, would the voters know that the man selected by a democratic majority at the polls would be Inducted Into of fice. The present voting procedure, by re counts In many counties, has been shown to be most Inefficient, and such Irregularities has awakened election of ficials to the advisability and utter necessity of voting “ machines In the States of North Carolina. These ma chines certainly appear to he the an swer to what Is wrong with elections In this State. True, these machines will cost a con siderable sum of money: but so do In vestigations such as are now In prog ress In Mecklenburg county, and which would not have been necessary had the voting machine been in use. But even these investigations do not make the result an absolute certainty, and the ruling of the board on questionable ballots continues to be the basis for arguments for many months to come. While the voting machines have never been hearlded as a machine of perfection, still they are known to be as near perfect as possible for a me chanical apparatus to be, and are cer tainly known to be far more perfect than tabulation and counting when the human factor is involved. It Is gen erally believed by all parties that the adoption of the voting machines and the elimination of the absentee ballot will make North Carolina elections both fool proof and crook proof. The present legislature could pass no finer piece of legislation than that of the voting machine and the aboli tion of the absentee ballot. By press ing such legislation they could cer tainly endear themselves to the hearts of the voters who are interested in clean elections, and such legislation would also remove the crooked ward heelers who have played such an Im portant part In recent elections.

Forest Seedlings To Be Made Available At Very Small Cost Farmers and landowners In the South will Shortly have available approximate ly 70 million seedlings for planting on eroded or non-productive farm land, according to Regional Forester Joseph C. Klrcher of-the U. S. Forest Service. These seedlings range from slash pine to black locust and are being pro duced by the various Stats Forest Ser ■rices In state-owned nurseries and will be distributed to the public at coet of production. Increased public Interest In refor estation accounts for the large step up In nursery stock produced, and al though this year's growth of seedlings Is grsatly Increased over that of past years, it Is felt that the demand win be far greater than the supply. With this In view, Forest Service officials urge Interested landowners to place requirements with their State For esters as early as possible In order that pro-rated amounts may be decided well In advance of planting time. In order to assist landowners with fMtmtwsi phases of their planting pro gram a pamphlet, "Planting Southern Pines," recommending and explaining the most successful methods of plant ing, has been prepared by the Forest Service and may he secured free by addressing a card to the State Forest er or to the Regional Forester, U. 8.
