BIBLE THOUGHT
THE SIN BEARER : He hath poured I
out his soul unto death; that he bare !
the sin of many, and made Intercession I
for the transgressors—Isaiah 63:12. |

Preachers are mighty nice fellows to
have around—and they come In handy I
very often too. Mr. Billups dropped In j
last Thursday Just after a lady had i
called and asked me what “E Plurlbus ]
Unum" means, and off-hand 1 couldn’t;
tell her . . . could you have? Well I'll
tell you what Preacher Billups said
In next week’s paper.
We folk who have lived here a long 1
time often forget that new-comers are
nice folk, and that they are Interested
In the town too. First four member
ships I sold to the golf course and
country club were to ’’outsiders'’ who
have moved In to make their homes
here—A. B. Burton. G. G. Page, Lee M.
Bauer, and Dr. Claude B. Squires.
W R. Kilpatrick down at Penrose
says he can’t get along without The
Times, and "enjoys It Just as much as
if It were a REAL newspaper." What's [
more he enjoys It enough to pay for It |
each year, and that’s proof enough for,
me.

From “way back !n the mountings"

Down to Greenville Friday afternoon,
along with Dr. Fred Holt, and now I !
really know why so many people in our j
sister city come to Transylvania in the
summer time. Greenville Is a fine city.
It has a lot of extra fine people, and
they are for the most part very friend
ly toward our county, but the folk
there do have to suffer In the summer
time . . . heat, ycssir! Just like an |
oven to a pair of mountaineers like Doc
Holt and the "old man.”

Brevard at one time had an attractive
road sign just below Travelers Rest,
pointing out the way to Brevard, and
telling In brief words something of our
section. Now the sign Is In 111 repute
. . . looks sorter like North Broad
street—needs fixing up. Suggest that
the Chamber of Commerce have some
work done on the marker.
—S - S- —
Several people have gotten sort of,
grouchy toward me about continued
mention of Nortt) Broad street ... I
and I had aimed to forget It for this!
week, but just had to use It to make a 1
comparison for the Travelers Rest
sign. Maybe we will soon have some
Improvements on Probarte street ex
tension—Caldwell to Methodist church—
If WPA Engineer Wilson and the board
of aldermen can get It figured In on
their street improvement program, and
then there will be an added Incentive
for ad the property owners on North
Broad to do some straightening up.
Several people reminded me Thursday
and Friday that folk either failed to
read my high class ? ? ? column, or
If they did read it paid absolutely no
attention. Seems to me and my In
formants as well, that more cars were
parked a-straddle of the white line on
Brevard streets Thursday and Friday
thAn usual. Maybe some folk who own
cars Just can’t read, or maybe they
don’t give a happy whoop.
—S—S—
Friend of mine came In the office
this week and literally "hopped all
over me” about the Item I wrote two
weeks ago In/re Brevard people shop
ping out of town. Said one reason he
didn’t like to shop In Brevard was that
he'wasn’t treated with courtesy like he
received in out-of-town places. I told
him right off the bat that I disagreed
with him. emphatically, but the Idea Is
worth passing along. Sometimes, most
of us, get a little lax In our courtesy
towiJrd customers—catch myself at It
very often . . . but on a whole I think
our business people do exceptionally
well.

over to Knoxville Friday night—or
rather Saturday morning early—and
that Is another neighbor (not so close)
that has Its share of the heat, plus.
Nice place, even though wine parte of
the city look old, and some of the
streets are rather narrow, same for the
sidewalks, and some of the buildings
evidently built before the day of stream
lining. Worst feature I ran Into was
the heat . . . guess I’ve lived In Tran
sylvania county so long that I expect
every other place to be nice and pleas
ant In the summer . . . but we’ve got
the world beaten on climate, even
though there are a lot of things need
Improving In the home town ... go
over to Knoxville, or down to Green
ville, and Just keep tab on how much
nicer and more comfortable you begin
to feel as soon as you start back Into
the mountains. Knoxville has as nice
hotels as Asheville, but the difference
In being cool and hunting for an extra
blanket at 4 a m. and wondering If
a cold bath would help any, is a lot
to folk who are getting along In years
like the old man, and who must have
comfortable sleep.
-S—S—
Stopped at two hotels—Knoxville,
and Asheville, during the week-end,
and I am forced to mention the fact
that Brevard needs a hotel, badly. How
much another hotel here would pay the
Investpr, I am not In position to say,
but it would be a community asset,
absolutely, and for certain.

Brevard Is "growing up." Transyl
vania Trust company reports assets
passed the half million dollar mark last
Wednesday—deposits going up past the
four hundred thousand mark . . . nat
urally the folk down on the comer
who handle all my overdrafts were
tickled, and me too . . . means a better
and bigger town, more money to lend,
and a healthy state for the bank.
Healthy banks make healthy communi
ties and healthy communities make
bigger and stronger banks.

Have you been around to McFee
Jewelry sale? Worth going just to
listen at the auctioneer tell his story,
and he really knows how. Mr. Roos
(he says it Is the first four letters Just
like the President’s name) has been
holding sales here for years, and the
folk must like his w^ys else he couldn’t
keep on coming back.

Lamar Lewis brought me the follow
ing clipping on how to be successful
. . . but ’he doesn’t guarantee the pro
cess ... at least he hasn’t made out
with It. unless one were to count size
for success—
A recently retired business man was
asked how he accumulated his fortune:
"I attribute my ability to retire with
$50,000 In the bank, after 30 years In
the field, to close application to duty:
always hewing to the mark and letting
the chips fall where they may: the
most vigorous rules of economy: never
spending a cent foolishly: everlastingly
keeping at my job with whole heart
and—the death of an uncle who left i
me $49,999.50.’’ — California Growersi
Advocate.

John Paul Lucas, good will emissary
for the Duke Power company, paid
Brevard his first visit In months, and
was amazed at the progress here. Mr.
Lucas kind of lost track on Brevard
during an extended illness, but now
that he is "on his feet” he plans to
check up on the Improvements, and
especially the fine road through Pis
gah National Forest.
—S—S—
Course I COULD be wrong, but I'll
bet a doughnut hole that Swain county ;
votes against llkker stores, and Bun
combe for.
Several people * disappointed Sunday
afternoon uptown . . .blew and blew on
their auto calliopes or whatever the
noise-maker on a gas wagon should be
called, but they got no curb service,
because it was raining. Don’t blame
the soda clerks. T’d hate to go out and
give curb service any time, but when
It’s raining, no slr-ee!
WAR HAS BEEN DECLARED, or
It looked so here over the week-end
. . . scrapping, fighting, cutting, and
slashing . . . course I missed It all by
not being here . . . maybe just as well,
might have been hurt trying to get out
of the rush. One gent suggested Sun
day afternoon that the war might be
traced to some mean moonshine—there
are kinds of the white mule that make
peopTe fight, so I’ve been told.
By gadding around over the country,
missed a good dinner up at Captain
Bass Gillespie’s last Sunday . . . guess
I’ll have to stay around home more and
get In on all the dinners that my
friends will be giving for the next
couple months . . . nothing like a
family home-coming and the fine eats
to make a country editor feel good.
—S—S—
County Agent Glazener says he ex
pects to be out and at ’em again with
in the next week or so, and that ho
certainly will eat no more gTeen ap
ples to upset his stomach. Julian is
getting along fine as a fiddle but Uncle
Sam's hospital over at Oteen says
stick around until we say you’re oke
before we let you out. Shore and
Julia are doing a good job of county
agent-lng while the boss Is out

Wonder why a postoffice doesn’t
need screens . . . reckon flies never
go after their mall.

Sheriff diet C. Kilpatrick says that
he emphatically has not moved to South
Carolina to make his home, as reported,
and that he will be back “where he be
longs” within a short while.
I heard about a filling station that
certainly didn’t belong to our town—
a sign across the front said "Don’t ask
for Information; If we knew ANY thing
we wouldn’t be here.”
—S—S—
It will happen here someday . . .
50 spectators Injured at a fire at Mor
ganton Monday morning . . . our folk
MUST run to the fire and. just like it
happened In Morganton, there will be
a bad accident, Involving a lot ot
people . . . might be bad If just one
were injured and that one turned out
to be YOU or one of your children . . .
firemen are able to cope with fires.

"sewer steel” and forgot to bring it
