never paid any taxes, greater in val

a movement so manifestly fair for all

property on the tax hooks at its true
value “go ‘way back and sit down.”

STILL KICKING ABOUT IT
Ever since the world began people
'Jii.ve been kicking about paying taxes
they are still at it . The coming
of Christ into the worid did not
<’iiange the mind of men upon the
subject of taxation. There were
kickers at Jerusalem when Jesus
(irove the money changers out of the
temple ar.d there will be kickers when
Ho places one foot upon the land and
thj other upon the sea and declares
ti’.aL time shall be no longer.
' 'orth Carolina, has the lowest tax
of any state in the American un
ion except one. The state, county
in\ 1 municipal governments, with
K:i Iity few exceptions, arc most eco-
' 0":ically and more honestly adminis
ter. I in North Carolina than almost
a::: other state in the whole country.
8 i there are kickcrs in the land who
T:fi;se to be comforted. Some folks
<;;i into the world with a grouch
ft" will go hencf nursing a sore toe.
he latest object of the kicker’s in-
f ation is the Revaluation Act pro-
r'.u:'-rated by the last session of the
' v x*ral Assembly, which seeks to
e all property on the tax books
i! LS actual cash value. This law is
1 . c*d on the cominandnient: “Thou

« ' who ha.s taken the time to read
-■ 1 Study it closeiy can fail to see
t it is botlonied on justiced. The

RECKLES SPENDING
War heritage and profiteering are
not the only causes of the excessive
cost of living says the Winston-Sa
lem Journal. A third cause, reckless
spending, is largely concerned. For
the reckless spenders egg the profi
teers on. They encourage them to
believe rtat they can get away with
an ramount that they may choose to
demand. The illuminating story is
told of a Boston hosiery manufactur
er who, when the Council of National
Defense issued its proclamation,
adopted the expident of raising the
price of silk and lowering the price
of cotton hose. He thought this a
patriotic thing to do and would help
the people of moderate means. To his
astonishment, during the succeeding
three months he sold twenty-five per
cent more of silk hose and about
twenty per cent of cotton.
It is not merely the wealthy that
demand the best at any cost. The pas-
! sion of extravagance ^ 'cms to have
seized large masses of > people. To
; many of these the wa. wrought in-
I
created wages and they ail to realize
that owing to the hij 1 prices they
are no better ofr. M; / others are
mere victims of the m: a for extra
vagance. Still others r/ ’chase in the
' lanic fear that if the * do not pay
! whatever is asked ’—/ they will have
j to pay more next wc.': or next month.
! It must be admitted that there is good
reason for the existence of the class
j last named, but they are making a
mistake. The widely noted “orgy of
! spending” merely adds fuel to the
flames.
I
1 Unquestionablv the policy of min-
I
! imum sppndin.'j: and economical wait
ing is best both for the individual and
for the country. P'or this policy
widely followed can not fail to help
I brinu’ '!o\vn prices and restore normal
conditions.
There are great treats in store for
the people of Brevard.
The Lyceum course begins Friday
Dec. 12 at 8:00 o’clock in the Audi
torium with the famous Amphion Trio
to open the course, and then soon to
be followed by the world renowned
naturalist—Ernest Seton Thompson
and other notables. The committee
of the Betterment Society of Brevard
has outdone itself in securing com
panies and lecturers this winter. Keep
at it committee; Brevard deserves the
best. Men, women and children, don’t
fail to hear the Amphion Trio as there
will be things said you cannot afford
to miss. We understand tickets are
being sold rapidly, so advise you to
i buy your ticket to-day and be sure of
. hearing something that will linger in
your memory.
Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
jDy local applications, as they cannot reach
jthe diseased portion of the ear. There is
inly one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
jiud that is by a constitutional remedy.
I Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in-
llamod condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im-
perfoct hearing, and when It is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
estored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an Inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We wiU give One Hundred Denars for
iny case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by HaU's Catarrh Medicine. Cir
culars free. All Druggints. 75c.

Best Friends—Red-Blooded
Pepto-Mangan Produces Better Blood
Sold in Liquid and Tablet Form.
\
Get into the red-blooded class if
you are not there now. Take a few
Vscek’s course of that splendid tonic
—Pepto-Mangan and note how you
improve in health and looks. Pepto-
?.Iangan is a red-blood maker and is
for sale at the drug store right near
your home. It is put up in both liquid
and tablet form. Take which you
choose, but see that the name
“Gude” is on the package. Without
“Gude” it is not Pepto-Mangan.
It is the cry everywhere—“Want
ed—Red-Blooded Men.” The soldiers
and sailors that won this war were
red-blooded, two-fisted fellows. In
business it is the red-blooded man
that stands the strain and wins the
big successes. The world has no
chance for the thin-blooded weakling.
It is natural, too, that red-blooded
men and women should have more
friends, and they do. They are bet
ter human beings than the thin-blood
ed anemics, v/ho are likely to be
“grouchy” and irritable most of the
time.—adv.
