NUMBER «
DOLLARS JUST MONEY?
**Human, Hedrti €tnd Stntlt,** Say»
Ckrgyman, ••if Yoa Have the Vuhn^*
Take A Peep Through
Loopholes of the Ci
phers and Bars of the
Dollar Sign.
And now comcs the apostle of
statistics tliat are human, the roinan-
ticist of figures.
He has come out of North Caro
lina. He is neither statistician nor
romancer. He is an Episcopal clergy
man, the Rev. Dr. VVilham H. Milton.
' And he has undertaken to prove to
the million or more communicants of
the Episcopal Church that $42,000,000
are not $42,000,000—but a thrilling
romance; its characters Chinese chil
dren. Eskimo maidens, gaunt moun
taineers. little blind Mexicans, trans
planted peasants of Europe and daunt-
1^ soldiers of the Church in far places;
its background brilliant Oriental land
scapes, dazzling white wastes of Arctic
snows, billowing prairies and st^
mountain trails.
The $42,000,000 is the fund to be
rais^ in a single sweeping drive as the
climax of the Episcopal Nation-Wide
Campaign, of which Dr. Milton is one
of the executives. It represents the
means by which the Church, roused,
through the campaign, to the urgency
of the world’s needs to-day, can do its
part to work in every field.
“But,” said the romanticist of
figures the other day, “there is no
inspiration in giving $42,000,000. So
long as we state the Church’s duty in
terms of dollars, it is a cold, dead thing.
We must humanize the figures. We
must look through the loopholes of the
ciphers and the bars of the dollar-
mark.
"Then we diall see, not $42,000,-
000. but hospitals and suri^ns where
there is none to heal suffering, sdKX>Is
and teachers where there is none to
teach little children, loyal American
citizens where there are restless foreign
bom under destructive influences, com
munity centers and diurches where
there is none within many miles.”
Dr. NUlton knows how humanized
statistics can stir people. He has
applied the principle in St James*
Churdi in Wilmington, N. C. And his
parish, in recent years., having been
shown by him the romance of the
Churdi*8 work, has become one of the
laiVKt per capita givers to missions.
The statistics that have been pre-
rared by a survey of ^e needs of the
fepiscq^l Church in recent months,
and of the needs of the world whidi
it must meet, are to be warmed into
life for all the men ^nd women In the
^ur(A. The romance behind them
is to be told in meetings all over the
United States by 2,000 teams of men
and women, in the next few weeks,
preparatory to the intensive drive oi
the Nation-Wide Campaign, in De
cember.
HOMECUREDIffiAT
URGED BYEXPERTS
Owing to Drop in Prico of Perk State
Swine Extension Want* Farmer* te
Cure Meat.
“Home curing of meat will be much
more largely practiced during this
winter than ever before,” writes W.
Shay in charge of swine extension
office, West Raleigh, to the Board
of Trade. Mr. Shay is urging farmers
of the state to. home cure as much
of their hog meat as passible on ac
count of the unprecedented and un
justified drop in pork on tl^e hoof
which makes it difKcult for farmers
to realize a profit or even costs of
production, unless the meat from the
present crop of hogs is cured at home.
Mr. Shay gives the following illustra
tion of the advantage and increased
profit accruing to farmers who home
cure their hogs.
“During the winter of 1916-17 the
office of siwne investigation killed 18
hogs, 9 of which were sold on the
market fresh at 11 1-2 cents per Bbi,
After selling the lard, ribs, heads*
trimmings etc., frssh, the .balance.'of
the meat eonsisted hams, shoulders
and sides\ from the other 9 hogs of
•qaal weiVht was cured before sell
ing. Thii action resulted in addition

From the above it will be

Monday after a recess- of three days.
The Owen’s murder case was first on
docket and after examining the spe
cial venire of 200 men only, seven
qualified for the jury. The regular
jury of 24 men was then examined
and four more jourors qualified. This
left the jury short one and it was
fount! necessary to again adjourn
court until the sheriff could summons
another venire of fifty men. This be
ing done Wednesday court again con
vened and proceeded with the
of evidence Wednesday morning. The
State was still introducing evidence
as we go to press and it looks like the
entire week will be taken up ^.this
one case. ^

AT CAMP LEE, VA.
The following communication re
ceived from the boys at Camp Lee,
Va.
November 27.
Editor Brevard News:
Brevard, N. C.
Dear Sir:—
As this is Thanksgiving day and of
course the army put on a little extra
feed, se we are enclosing the menu
card of« the mess at the Camp Hospi
tal, Camp Lee, Va. As we are the
only two boys from Transylvania Co.
that are at Camp Lee we decided to
have dinner together. Woodfin, who
is a member of the detachment at the
hospital, invited Merrell, who is a
member of M. T. C., Co., 671, to have
dinner with him, so bright and early
Merrell arrived on the scene and af
ter making a tour of the hospital, and
seeing how well all the patieiits were
being cared for. Dinner time soon
came and everything that is entered
on the menu card was on the table
and there was enough for several
more meals when the boys were thru
eating, everything was of the best
variety, and some of the best cooking
that has ever been done in the army
had been done and sQCh pies and
cakes were never before seen set on
an army taible; and from our feelingr
now We sure did do justice to our
part of it, but the mess Sergeant says
that there is plenty left for supper,
but we don’t know whether we will
be able to get to supper.
MENU
Oyster Soup, Oysterettes, Sweet
Pickles, Olives, Celery, iloast Turkey
and Dressing, Cranberry Sauce, Can
died Sweet Potatoes,^ Turkey Giblet
Gravy, French.Peas, Asparagrus Tips,
Parker House Rolls and Butter, Sliced
Tomatoes, Lettuce Salad, Mayonaise
Dressing, Minee Pie, Pumpkin f^ie^
Cocoanut Layer Cake, Apples, Oran
ges, Bananas, Coffee, Cream, Cigars
and Cigarettes.
We hope to see this menu in print,
so that the people of Transylvania Co.
will know that any man in the Regular
Army is getting just as good eats as
any one who is at home and any of
the home boys who are falling short
of such a menu as this had better
come up and join us, for camp life
is entirely different now to what it
was during the emergency. The new
pay bill, which goes into effect the
1st of January, 1920, will increase the
pay of the Re^ar Army 60* per cent
and it is more than a man can ni^ke
on the outside, even if he is working
at $150.00 per month, by the time
that he pays his board and buys his
clothes, we have just as much left as
he does.
Hoping that verybody in Transyl
vania County has had as great and
as Thankful a day as we have. We
will close for this time and will tell
more about the place next letter.
Wishing, the News and all its readers
the greatest of success in all their
undertakings, especially with the new
railroad, we remain,
* Respectfully,
R. L. MefTeir^ G. FT Woodfin.
FUNK FOR THE
RAOROAD SORVEY
The committee appointed at the re
cent railroad mass .meeting to solicit'
funds necessary for the preliminary
surveys for the proposed new railroad
from Brevard, to southern connec
tions are-meeting with generous re
sponses from the people of Transyl
vania county and it is stated that the
amount necessary for this work, will
soon be available. Only a few
grouches, so far, have refused to sup
port the enterprise and it is pretty
well known that they will, soon see
that they are working against their
own interests and will sooner or later
contribute.
The proposition is rapidly gaining
enthusiasm each and every day among
the people of Transylvania County,
as well as, along the >proposed routes
and the most skeptical 6nes of a few
weeks ago'.are now convinced that, “It
can be done” and furthermore, it will
be done.
The names of all those who contri
buted to this preliminary survey will
be published in the News.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT
- 1
' ''
Hie News just learned of what
came near being: a fatal , accident
down on Crab Creek, a week ago last
Monday.
Dr. SylvestCT Utter, jk iwominent
surgeon of New Jersy was seriously
wounded by the acefdental diseharge
of his fun while bird hunting. The
entire load of one barrel entered his
Kip and only his knowledge of sur
gery and presence of mind, kept him
from bleeding to death. Dr. Utter
used a rope and bound his limbs to
stop the flow of blood un^ doctors
Lyda and WaHis vt Brev||^. could
re^nd and give him first aid after
which he was removed to the Fatten
Memorial hospital at Hendersonville,
where he is slowly recpveriiic.
THE PRAYHt CORNER
HE WHO BEST SERVES THE
WORLD SERVES BEST HIS NA
TIVE LAND
“On Saturday afternoon, on June
21,ifi Paris, I was in attendance upon
a meeting of the Supreme Council.
There was a great tension, for the
reason that the Germans had not yet
stated whether they would or would
not sign the Treaty. Late in the ses
sion an orderly slipped into the room
and whispered a word to Mr. Clemen-
ceau. Thereupon the aged Premier
immediately arose, turned to Mr. Wil
son and Mr. Lloyd Geor^, and, with
CMt solemni^ said:
“ 'Sirs, I have the honor to inform
you that Germany will sign the
Treaty.* Then in a few moments the
cannon, signaling the news to an ex
pectant world, began to boom. Mr.
Clemenceau turned te me and said:
‘Ah, that is the sound that I have been
waiting to hear for forty-eight years.*
“Why had Mr. Ciemenceau, why
had all France and the Allied nations,
been waiting to hear that sound?
Because it meant the death knell of
oppression. It meant freedom of
thought and mind. It spelled thru
the ^League of Nations, an end to the
slavery of the war. It promised lib
erty, progress. '
“I hear from some pf our states
men the cry: 'America first!* Yes.
But it she is to be truly first she
must be so, not just in playing safe
for herself.
“When I stopped in London on my
way to the Peace Conference at Paris
last January, I lunched with ra old
English merchant, wise and always a
warm friend of our country. In repjfy
to his question, I told him 1. was going
to Paris determined to work for the
interests of Amerira.-- *Ah, yes,* he
replied; *but first you are giOing to
serve the world. 'He who beiit servies'
the world serves best his naitive land.*
“And. so, I say, America must
first in generous thought and in ac
tion; first in tike confidence which ^e
shows te her fellow-natioi»; In
the heart of all the world, by reason
of ^er friendliness and helpfulness to
the world.**

of J. P. Morgan and Co.

The Officers Were There, but There
Were No Privates.
We hiymen have felt that the work
of the church belonged all too much
to our clergy. We have, felt little re-
si^nSlbiHty.In evein tiie' work o^'bur
parish, much less of the work of. the
Church as a whole. We have left
those leaders of ours alone to carry
on the fight. The officers were there,
but where were the privates? And
the purpose of this “Nation Wide
Campaign** is to reach that body of a
million privates and form them up in
serried ranks behind these leaders of
ours, and under our leader, Christ,
and to pdt into our hearts that fer-
Vent zeal that inspired our armies in
France, that unity of purpose that
sacrifices all until the power is won.
We have lacked that pwrpose hereto
fore, haven’t we? ^
Criticism of the CampaigB
This campaign, which, I believe to
be conceived al<mg intelligent, bas
in^ like and sound lines, has been
criticised by some people because it
was too inspirational, too visionary,
too much religion in it and itJuB been
criticized by other people becauso
there was too much talk •£ money in
it and not enough religion. |
