WEEK-CANDDATES
BE ANNOUNCED
Owing to an oversight of the
restrictions placed on weekly
newspapers by the War Indus
tries Board for the purpose of
saving paper and pulp, our an
nouncement of the circulation
contest was made prematurily.
However, we have been advised
by the Chief of the paper and
pulp division of the above men
tioned Board that the restric
tions will be withdrawn Decem
ber 1st, and a full and complete! tragedy of war.
Thanksgiving Day this year
will evoke a gratitude deeper,
a spirit of reverence more de
vout, than America has felt for
many years. The celebration
of 1918 will always be remem
bered.
This year Americans from
Maine to Texas, from the At
lantic to the Pacific, will turn
to Thanksgiving Day with spir-
tual exaltation which President
Wilson has, with such feeling,
expressed in his proclamation,
i “God has in His good pleas-

in a triumph which is not mar

mankind.”
There will be nothing half
hearted, nothing perfuctory,
about the celebration of Thanks
giving this year. It will be a
day of prayer as well as of
feasting and rejoicing, a day
i when thoughts will wing across
the sea to the manhood of
America so lately in arms for
the greatest cause in the an-

AFTER THE WORLD WAR
(Written for the Union Thanksgivinp: services of Brevard churches
November 28, 1918, by J. J. Miner.)
O, bless’d is the peace that now comes to the world,
As kaisers and princes surrender their realm;
And the banners and flags of tyrants are furled
While the meek Prince of Peace is guarding the helm.
Thank God that the death-dealing thunders are still.
The voice of the people is voicing God’s will,
And orders from tyrants are ended.
O, bless’d is the peace we have fought for so long;
Now Liberty’s armies have conquered the Hun—
Crowns, helmets and scepters-tyrant-emblems are gone
While Democracy’s conquering hosts have come.
Thank God that the edicts of monarchs are dead.
With the blood of our heroes so valiantly shed
War’s hell has forever been ended.
Bless’d is the peace freedom’s defenders have won
From crowned heads and hirelings of tyranny’s clan.
Servile submission to earth’s rulers is done,
And human laws order that man be a man.
Thank God we can vote for all laws that are just
With hearts for humanity. In God we trust.
War’s terrors forever have ended.
DOGS VS. SHEEP
TRAYEUNG UBRARI’S
SHE KEPT THEM ON THE JOB
There seems to be so much
said lately about Dogs vs. Sheep
that it would make anyone
think that a dog and a sheep
could not live in the world to
gether. I was raised on a farm
and we owned dogs and sheep,
raised them on the same farm,
and instead of dogs being a
detriment to sheep raising,
they were an aid. In fact we
could not have raised sheep
without dogs. With the dogs
we chased the sheep-killing
dogs, wolves and bear av/ay
and caught the cats that would
have destroyed the lambs,
which you still have to do if
you raise sheep in this moun
tain country. What killed the
sheep industry here, was a few
men in the towns planned and
laid out stock law boundaries
and voted them or had them
passed by the General Assem
blies.
Now a few men in the towns
—I do not know w'hether they
belong to the boards of trade
A chance to read and enjoy
good books is now open to peo
ple living in the country and in
small towns. There is a very
simple system by means of
which a case of books is sent
to a community to remain three
or four months, in order to give
all access. When the first case
is returned to the Library Com
mission, another upon applica
tion will be sent to take its
place, and so on as long as de
sired. The only cost of getting
the books is to pay transporta
tion to and from community,
and at no time will the cost ex-
coed one dollar. Now, there
fore, will any interested persons
communicate with me at once?
Yours for success,
A. F. MITCHELL,
County Supt.

HOUSE
REGARDING CALL FOR
THANKSGIVING SERVICES
Mr. Editor:
I see in your last issue a no
tice calling Brevard Baptist
church to meet in a Thanksgiv
ing service next Thursday, No
vember 28, and advising all
other churches of the Transyl
vania Association to do like
wise, signed “Executive Com.”
There is an executive com
mittee of the Transylvania as
sociation of which the under
signed is chairman, and as such,
he has been present at every
meeting of the committee hav
ing a quorum and will say em
phatically that such a thing as
calling a church .to thanksgiv
ing or to any other service and
of advising all churches of its
constituency to do likewise, was
never agitated, was never men
tioned in any of the several re
cent meetings of the committee.
Such an attempt in normal tim
es would be justly construed as
an act to usurp prerogatives,
but in these abnormal times not
JOHN HENRY IN A BAD
WAY
On Tuesday Brevard assum
ed the ajipect of a military
town when the county court
house became the scene of a
military tribunal.
John Henry Powell, private
Co. A., 444th Reserve Bn., was
tried for desertion. Powell
was indicted on three counts.
The trial was held before Judge
Advocate 1st Lieut. Nathaniel
Golden. The court consisted of
Maj. A. T. Hayes, Capts. Ma-
geean and Taylor, 1st Lieuts.
Wilson, Jarecky and Carrico,
2nd Lieuts. Goucher and Cron-
krite.
they come hollering “kill all
the dogs, kill all the dogs;” be
cause a few men think they can
grow rich raising sheep. Your
memories are very short if you
do not remember the faithful
4
dogs that materially helped to
win the late w’ar against the
despised Hun. The faithful
dog is the only animal, man
not excepted, that will stay
with his master, or his master’s
children to protect them till he
starves to death, and leave his
bones there as a monument to
his fidelity.
I want you to tell me how
many lonely families live in
these mountains, while the hus
band is off at work, would be
safe from depridation, tramps
thieves and robbers if it were
not for the faithful watch dog,
both day and night.. He is a
protection to the wives and
children, the pigs, lambs and
poultry, upon which the family
subsist. Yet I am grieved to
know that we have unscrupu
lous persons who will scatter
poison broad-cast in their com
munities to kill dogs, cats, chil
dren, or any animal that hap
pens to pick it up.
The common people have
had their personal rights and
privileges legislated away from
them until they will not endure
much more. Unless there can
be some happy medium be
tween the dog and sheep in
dustry, I fear the next war will
be at home among our own peo
ple who feel that their personal
rights and privileges are all be
ing legislated away to subserve
the interest of a few.
