Editor The Brevard News:
Sir:
After spending two or three weeks
in and around Brevard, including
Fairfield Lake for a week, I have
been wondering why the business in-
terests of this town and the beautiful
adjacent region e.o not maice more
serious and more ettective enorts to
bring the many beauties and benefits
lot tins region to me auennuu ui umu
I sands of people in the large cities

J To begin with, I am a former pub-
i lisher of an evening and Sunday mor-
1 ning newspaper in Birmingham Ala.,
a city of about 200.000 population in
a county of nearly half a million peo-
pie a great industrial center of
; large resources and wealth, whose
! people have the means and desire to :
leave home during the heated term, ;
and hundreds, yea thousands, of them
want just such a region as that a-
round Brevard for rest and quiet re-
ccrcation and diversion.

R. R. Fisher Is Elected Manager An I
S. Macf.'e Treasurer 5c ne Rule
To Govern Game
On the resignation of C. P. White
as: manager of the Brevard baseball
tlub, virtually a rew -organization was
made at a meeting on Tuesday night.
Ralph R. Fisher was "elected pres
ident and general manager, S. M.
Macfie treasurer, and J. A. Miller,
C. P. White and S. M. Macfie direc
tors. Acting on authority given by the
club, the manager says that penalties
will be imposed upon active players
who indulge in such forms of dissi
pation as drunkenness, staying up too
late at night, etc. Thi3 ruling i3
made for the better efficiency of the
players. '
It is understood that the club dis
courages betting, and that no betting
cn the games will be allowed.
Locally the admission price to the
games hag been changed from 25 to
50 cents. This change is made be
cause all the other towns though
one of them i3 without fence or
grarulstand are charging 50 cents,
and if Brevard charge8 only 25 cents
she will be entitled to only naif of 25
by the head in the gate rcceits at the
other places.
Writes Visitor
in and around Brevard evei'y sum-
mer, but for one thing. What is it?
Failure to advertise properly and let
the outside world know what you
have to offer. .
There are every summer not less
than 400 to 800 ncopie from cirming-
h?m alcne -n Asheville, which in my
judgment, is less attractive as a
6Ummor resort than Brard. And
why? Asheville makes it a point to
kpcp itsc?f in the pubj;c cyc, 0f pjir.
r-;riam. Brevard dees not. There
pre t this v:vitir 50 o 73 Binning-
h. nnru :n an i ntm.l Xwmnn-
ville anl for the reason that Hen-
dersonville pursued a similar policy
ag Asheville on a somewhat less pre-
tentious scale. I have found two Bir-
mingham people, beside myself, in
Brevard. There should be at least

EXTRA SESSION TO
MEET IN DECEMBER
Will Correct Error in Municipal Fi
nance Law And Probobly Attend
To School Deficit
Raleigh, N. C. July 18. There is
to be an extra session of the General
Assembly early next winter. The
Governor and Council of State in.
session on Friday of last week settled
the issue definitely. The General
Assembly will convene in extraor-
-'n
Cth, to correct the error in the muni-
c5Pal f inarce law an " to bond ' the
State if lhc necesslty appears, for
an amount aggregating $700,000
to cover an apparent deficit in the
school fund for the present biennial
period.
It has been predicted in this corre
spondence all along since talk of an
extra session wag started that there
would be no call for this summer, if
at all. The suggestion of an extra
session has met the approval of a
very few people anywhere outside th
limits of the cities interested in au
thority to levy more taxes and sell
more bonds. The conclusion to issue
th? call was reached reluctantly and
only after most persistent insistence
On the part of a number of leading
ci.ties in the f?tate which submitted
statements showing that they Acould
not possibly get along without au
thority to borro.v money and levy
taxe- without eel ay.
Efforts have been made to dissuade
the Governor from postponing the
ses .ion until December Cth, but with
out avail. There are , more reasons
than have probably been "advanced for
putting the matter off until Decem
ber Gth. Probably one of them is
hope that the members would perform
the service fcr which they are to be
, called together and stop there. This
1 would enable them to spend Christ-
mas at home. Another reason might
! be that the Governor needs rest an i
prefers the balmy air of mountain-;
to the turning rays of the Raleigh sun
during the summer months,.. Anyway,
, "vhere'? a reason.''
Governor Morrison and his little
e-aunter. n-rena, w;tn otner mem
bers of the family have shaken the
dust olf their feet against the capital
city and taken up their r.bode in the
mountain metropolis. They -left for
Asheville on Saturday and will spend
the remainder of the summer in the
Land of the Sky. iince the Gover
nor has expressed a preference for
A-hevillc over Ra'eigh as the summer
capital Mayor R .bervs will doubtless
be cor.'. cat with the date fixed for thu
sp cir.1 sessior; of the General Assem
bly. He has already intimated that
Asheville v;.l laar.age1 to get along
somehow until Deceniter. :,
