Saturday, May 28, Brevard Bargain Day
FISH ON EAST FOiRK.
A party of Greenville and local
sien enjoyed a pleasant fishim; party
in the East Fork section recenljy. The
^sitors were L. B. Houston, Illessrs.
CErey and Gilfillin. Th»y were ac-
^cnmpanied by Thos H. Shipuan and
son Hays and R. W, EreretJt and son
-Randall.
A Dollar Sale Day — that is what
it is going to be next Saturday week.
May 28th, 1921.
The slogan on that day — or at
any rate what might be a good slogan
on that day — will be, “Home is the
best place to terade, if you want real
bargains,”
On that day, the people who live
here and who come here are going to
see something quite interesting. They
are going to see prices that they
thought had g»’t tangled up somewher
in the stars, afll of a sudden standing(
temptingiy within their reach.
J /Such, at any rate. The News has
reliable authority to proclaim. And
this authority is no less than the mer-
chantE of Brevard themselves — or
a majority of them.
And the plan is just this:
On Saturday, May 28, the mer
chants who have gone into this agree-
■wsnt, wiB make a specialty of dol
lar sales. These collections will con
tain articles that have been selling
for more than a dollar. Real bar
gains are promised.
Next week’s issue of The News will
contain more of the details of the dol
lar sale day. Watch for this issue
of The News and see what the mer
chants have to offer.
The News itself ;will enter the lists
and will have its special offer to make.
Look out for that also.
The merchants of Brevard are de
termined to prove that home is the
best place to trade. They promise
that their reductions will be real
reductions, that their bargains will be
genuine.

tarily fasted for two meals, in order
that the cost of those meals might g-o
to the famine fund.

Iowa City, Iowa, April 30, 1921.
To the Editor of the Christian Her
ald, New Tiork City.
Dear Sir:
An interesting article in your issue
of March 26th by Dr. Williard Price,
concerning a visit of his to the tnoun-
tains of Western North Carolina has
made permanent throughout the
country the problem of the southern
, hifjhlands as it exists today. Al
though this article stated definitely
in its headiing that it described the
back country of the mountains, I fear
I that possibly in the minds of some
poorly informed people it may leave
the impressron that the families visi
ted by Dr. Price are types of
a large part <of the present mountain
population. I am, therefore, asking
for a few mches of space to describe
the present situation as I see it from
! 13 years of almost continuous resi-
; dence in the community visited by Dr.
I Price.
He came p6 our town as my guest,
and stated that he wished to see in
the mountains :such samples of primi
tive conditions as could readily be
reached on horseback from our little
town. - r went to a good friend who
is invariable helpful and stated tahim
Dr. Price’s wishes and asked him if
he knew where to find such conditions.
He very generously left his business
for a day to fecoommodate Dr. Price.
They rode ’ out feom our little t^>wn
of nearly 2,000 people where we have
our own electric light plant, about a
mile of excellent paved street, our
locally owned telephone system, our
water v<?orks, and complete sewerage
system. On this little trip they found
conditions very similar to those des
cribed by Dr. Price, though it seems
from the article published in your
paper that some of those v/ho talked
with him were inclined to exaggerate
their own sophistication.
There is no question but that there
are in the mountains still, consider
able numbers of those who live on
titled farms, who find it humanly im
possible to make a living and to give
their children the advantages to which
all children are rightful heirs. The
proportion of poverty-stricken people
is undoubtedly greater in the moun
tains than in the average rural sec
tion in the lowlands, though probably
there is no section of appreciable
area entirely free from severe pov
erty. It is Impossible to estimate
how large a proportion of mountain
people are still in dire need of mis
sionary help but the percentage is
probably somewhere between 5 per
cent and 15 per cent of those who
may technically be called mountain
people because they live in the high
lands. J These real mountain peoplo
lare truly entitled to the cordial as
sistance of those who are philanthrop-
Ifcally inclined. They Are, by blood,
of s. very high type as everyone
kiKows. Their native intelligence ranks
higfh. They are thoroughly capable
of nigh training and a very large per
centage of them have the inborn
■cixaraeteristics of leaders. Their
kwig isolation and the extreme pro
bability that they can never do more
t^n make a poor living creates a
?reat sympathy for them in the minds
of all who know their situation. No
©ne would think of calling for mis
sionary help for the inhabitants of
the thriving towns and cities of the
fertile river bottoms and along the
railroads. Almost universally, they
liave good elementary and high
schools and numbers of well attended
and well supported churches. In
many of these cities there are pros
perous factories and other commer
cial institutions. Neither these
towns or anyone else asks for help
for them. Their inhabitants Tisually
claim to be mountaineers when away
irom home, but in every respect are
different, from a missionary point,
from the cove dwellers described
realistically or perhaps journalisti
cally by Dr. Price.
In writing or speaking of moun
tain conditions, I always hesitate to
draw this obvious distinction between
iwo classes of people .who live in the
mountains for fear that those to
whom I address myself may think I
insnlt Cneir intelligence, though I
sometimes do run this risk to be sure
that I am not misunderstood. Surely
everyone knows that the southern
highlands have' in them cities and
towns like Asheville, Bristol, I^ox-
vilie, Hendersonvile and Brevard, and
that these cities are in no sense part
of the missionary problem? And still,
possibly it .may be worth while to call
attention to this obvious fact in con
nection with Dr. Price’s interesting
article.
Very truly yours,
C. H. TROWBRIDGE.
