The good people of Transylvania County have been living very large ly on the bountiful supply of timber and forest products which. Dame Na ture provided for us during the past ages and as those supplies are now be coming scarcer it is right and provi dent that we begin to look for other sources of income and revenue. Our good roadg will enable the tourist to come to our County and we will have that as a large source of income, but if we have to import all that We supply to the tourist we will only be getting a part of what the tourist spends when we should be getting every cent of it. In other words we should and most raise our own vegetables, meats, and produce, not only to furnish the ho tels and boarding houses of the Coun ty but we should also have a largre surplus to ship by train or truck to the neighboring citics and counties. One of the best means of our learn what we can do and the best way of doing it is to creat a friendly and neighborly spirit of competition and rivalry and the best way to do that ' is to have a great County Fair each year, with perhaps Community Fairs in addition thereto. Several of our good citizens have been w^orkng on this proposition for some time and they have at last suc ceeded in finding a splendid location for the Fair Grounds and if there is enough interest shown we can get the land and have suitable buildings erected'of a permanent nature and suitable for exhibition purposes. Two or three men can not do this, it will take the working together of the progressive and prosperous men and women of the entire County, it is not a Fair for only a portion of Tran sylvania, but for the whole and en tire County and every part thereof and every man, woman and child will be benefited if we can make a success of it. i There is going to be a Mass Meet ing in Brevard on Saturday, April ■29th. at three thirty o’clock in the afternoon and we hopq that there will be a large number of our citizens present. Considerable discassion, torminng I and interest'is manifest on all sides , over the value of our Home Domon- trator and County Amht to Tran- I r.ylvania coun^. T^t sentiment in rayor of keeping ^esie officinent se?^ vants is in great majbiity there x>an be no^doubt. Hoip^eVer is alway<3 a few i^erpeton^ use a hammar. And for the benefit of these narrow, selfish ignoramouses the News wi^s to expliUn just a t:ew of the nwny facts and reasons why it is absoluteUy imperative fhat Transylvania county keep on the road to'progr^ and prosperity by keep ing these offices and not go back a decade by abolishing one of the most progressive achievements ever inau- grated by the citizens of otb county. The Home Demonstration Agent, fiss Lucile Clarke, receives iH>out >125.00 per month as a salary. The ounty of Transylvania pays her $60. }0 of this amount. ^he County Demonstrator, Hr. ndley, receives a little more and ' o county pays him approximately .p60.00 per month. . The rest of the fund is paid by he rotate and that is appropriated ^*rom Washington on account of the ^mith-Lever bill passed in. 1910. A certain amount goes to each'State ach year. If a county agrees to em ploy these officers, then the Mid county gets this appropriation; other- vise the county does not get a cent —why loose it? That the work of these two ser vants of the people is necessary and It results of much magnitude has been obtained has been proved be yond the shadow of any doubt to *111 those who have been Or are now in a position to know. It is not the ntention here to dwell upon this fea ture of the question; but sufficient for the News to insinuate that this naper as the exponent of Transylva nia and the mouthpiece of the peo- nle, will not allow the abolishing of "hese offices without a reasonable -ensible and honest excuse for their 'cmoval. It is not a political ques- ■iion in any way at all and should lot be made such; but if tho^e pro- srressive county Commissioners, R. M. Hawkins and Coleman Owen (Mr. Scruggs is ill) wish to know the sen timent of the people of Transylvania county, we can safely print that they will be commended and will make many friend^ from the ranks of the patriotic Transylvanians if they will show their intelligent appreciation and deep personal interest in the wel fare of their countrymen by not only keeping these two officials here; but )y making the decision so emphatic hat the question will never bob up igain, at least by the party which ■ hey represent. On the other hand 'hould a few, who are by far in the minority, pursuade them, against Lheir own good judgement, to abolish these offices and thereby loose ■ all "hat has been gained, etc., tsince they were adopted; then the news will not ?e responsible for the criticism and jxtensive loss of friendg which would urely follow. The safe, sane and surest way is to “Keep them out of politics.” That staunch Transylva- ?iian, “Robert Orr," was a strong be- liever in, and if we are not mistaken, vas instrumental in establishing hese Home and County Agents. There is also (in connection with fhe_ Home and County offices) a vo cational board in Raleigh which ap- ropriates three of the teacher;-? sa’- ,Ten little <;^ildren entrusted to the sacred care of Nortih Carolina are zp dependent on Transylvania- Gounty for their lives, and unless the good people here come to the rescue many 9^ of them must be turned out of vhe ^ Near East R^ef orphanages to starve y on July Isi.*^ There wiU be no other alternative. This message is sent to the good Cl^ people of Transylvania County at this time by Col. George H. Bellamy of Raleigh, state chairman. Most of ^ the counties of the sjtate have put on ^ an active campaign! Col. Bellamy ^ hag been unable to secure anyone in ; ^ Transylvania m far, to undertake the ^ responsibility of doing this. ' To date the sum of $105.53 has ^ been sent in to the state office entire- ^ ly unsolicited from Transylvania Co., whose share* of the State's quota is $600. This shows what a wonderful .. appeal the p^ht of these chldren has ' on the heart'strings and purse strings j ^ of those who know of the Near East 2? Relief and its work. ' This sum will' take care of only two of these “wards” of Transylvania \ F O Vl> County, and if the remainder is pot forthcoming by June 30, all of the other eight children who are not provided for by that time must be turned out of the ' orphanages to starve. In view ^ the fact tha^ he has been unable to secure a chairman n Tran sylvania County, Col. Bellamy has is sued this appeal to the Christian- hearted people of Transylvania Coun ty. He points out that for every $5 sent in, the life of one of these child ren win be spared for a month. Many persons are “adopting” of these children by agrreeing to pay $5 a month for a period of a year. Pledge cards can be secured from Robert A. Brown, State Treasurer, Raleigh, and contributions should be sent to him. In appealing to the people of Tran sylvania County to aid the Near East Relief in raising its quota in North Carolina this year, Co. Bellamy said: “Many of these chldren are victims of ~the ^eat war when their fathers were killed in defense of the vast Bakru oil fields. ■ ^ Armenia lost 30,- -000 troops in this action.* Military experts agree that failure of the cen tral powers to get this precious oil supply for her war machine caused Germany's sudden collapse and there by shortened the -war by a number of months. “They were killing men- off at the rate of 10,000 a day when the. war ended, and it can be readily seen that had it lasted six months, a month, or even a week longer, there are many North Carolina boys back home to day who would otherwise be sleeping beneath a wooden cross in ^France. “North Carolina cannot see the children of these heroes fstarve freeze to death. Then there are children in these I orphanages whose parents gave up ^ jjy their liv6s to stop, the onward march ' ^ of Mohammedanism iand prevent the ' or M- M- <«■ M- & M- M- % & & Vi- M- M- f < .00 Cash You can now buy ^ new Ford touring car, by paying $177.00 cash and fhe balance in.small monthly amounts on the club plan. vDon’t be a **walking John” all your life.

C. € I •M ■M 18 at •M ■m «• ■yt •M IMPROVING OUR RAILROAD. Owing to our having gone to Ra leigh we were unable to make note of the great improvements in the pas senger coaches on the Transylvania Division of the Southern Hailway. Col. Hodges is to be thanked and congratulated for securing this new passenger equipment, as we now have comfortable and modern passenger coaches, which in addition to the splendid condition of the road bed, makes the Transylvania Division as good as the main line. We were also informed that the railroad soon intends to put on /sale ' cheap week-end rates to and from Brevard and the neighboring towns. And now if we can only get a good summer schedule we will have one ' of the best seasons ever remembered 'in this section. Col. Hodges jihows a deep interest ■ in everything which tends to upbuild Brevard and Transylvania County, and we can always count on his sup port in getting all rossible in the way of railroad facilities. There is also another official of the Southern Railroad v/ho is our friend and he is Mr. J. H. Wood, who Dirtrict Passenger Agent of Ashe- vill' 'nd who has always been ready and willing to do all in his power to secuxo satisfactory schedules and ex tra train • on the Transylvania Divi sion, and v/aieel grateful to him for ^e many -irvices he ha- rendered us to spread the doctrine df Jesus. Christ i in heathen lands, and yet these people gave their lives to prevent the sprea;d of the doctrine of Mohammed in Christian lands. Is it not Christian ity’s duty to see that their children, do not die the horrible death of star vation? “We are also feeding 550,000 ref ugees made destitute by devastation brought by the Turks in their hate , , . for Christianity. All industries and ary providing any school reaches, the crops have been demolished and -.the requirements of the vocational board. Tjirk;-^ were only driven out of Ar- T. 1 ? ^ August* We are hoping that when the crops are harvested late this summer we will be able to. . cut down our appropriations for the . feeding of these adult refugees.’"’ Moslems from stamping out Christ- ! ianity in Armenia. We.give million^ | Transylvania receives nothing as yet; jut it is believed that Rosman (under he efficient nrincipalship. of A. E. Ockerman) will probably receive this •npropriation next ve5>r, Mr -.T S. Silversteen, always looking to the in terests of Transylvania, has«assured -he proper authorities of at least one "‘uarter of the teacher’s salary. It is pointed out. however, that any school can receive this aid if they meet the requirements; As we have stressed before it is not a que-^tion of the individual ■igent; but question of either abol ishing or ] ?ping .the two offices. Let us say r 'ht here, however, that Transylvanir. 'Tould not do better or find a more ntensive, efficient and '^arnest wor’ er than Miss Lucile Clarke. So p lased ig Mrs. McKira- mon, of the State Department, with the results of Miss Clarke’s short t’me here, that'^ she has assured her a Ford in order that she mieht flit to and fro over the county at less expense. That Mr. Lindly is efficient is mani fest; blit if the office he represents ':ould be made xnoro ponular by a hange of ner.jonel; then for the sake ~ji the good work, make your change; !>ut keep the “Home and . County Agents out of politics.”* W. A. B. JUDGE C. M. PACE. INSPECT OUR OFFICE It was a great pleasure to the many friends of Judge Pace of ^ Hendersonville to have him in Bre vard during the April Term of omr Court. c - , I Judge Pace has held the office of Clerk of Superior Court of Hender- ^ £on County -for a longer time than any other man has held office in North j Carolina, he having been in continu- i' ous service for 54 years. Not only is . Judge Pace one of Western North i Carolina’s leading and most beloved ] citizens, but all the judges and law yers consider him on,e of the best, iii\ not the best, clerk in the state. , ' j • The Judge has . made it. a rule to , come to Transylvania County every ^ term of court just to meet his old j friends and'to note how' our town and’^i oowntv i- improving'."
