Address All Communications To The BrevaVd News: Foreiim Advertiaing Representative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1922 BREVARD NEWS PRICES LOWER than BIG CITIES Mr. A. E. Hampton, always a strong believer in home industries and strong in his local pride of Bre vard's business enterprises, was in the market recently for some job printing and wrote to two different printing houses of national reputa tion for their prices after getting the News prices. Mr. Hampton found that our prices were less in both in stances and asks that we publish this fact through the columns of the News. We appreciate Mr. Hamp ton’s kind and friendly interest and can only return the compliment by mentioning the fact that the people of this community realize hig general everready - to - help attitude even though it takes hard cash, in all mat ters pertaining to the upbuilding of our community. Alf in an A. No. 1 merchant and built up one of the. best Gent’s furnishing stores in Western North Carolina. clean up the SCHOOLS * It is not necessary to dwell here on the necessity of beautifying the graded school grounds and building a sidewalk, crowning the road, etc. Now is the time to get busy. The town expects to build the walk and do its part. Let the school commit tee or whoever is responsible do their part. The fountain, while a splendid addition to the school should not be left running during the holidays. Any children caught turning it on should be chastized. CITIZENS TELEPHONE COM PANY ELECT OFFICERS AN APPRECIATED COMMUNICA- VION FROM PROF. TROWBRIDE At the annual meeting of the Ci tizens Telephone Company, the fol lowing officers and directors were elected: J. S. Bromfield, president and ge neral manager; Fred Johnson, vice- president: 0. L. Erwin; W. M. Hen ry; H. C. Ranson; Dr. T. J. Summey; C. C. Yongue, who appointed G. E. Lathrop .‘•ecretary and treasurer. Over 200 phones are now in opera tion on the most modem and up-to- date local exchange in the State. While a fair net profit on the pre sent business was shown, it was not thought best to declare a dividend at this time, as there was a continual demand for additional equipment for the increasing business. Five operators are now necessary to han dle the calls, where two were need ed a year ago. Fully realizing that the present success of the new system is largely due to the time, energy and attention that the president has given to the business, absolutely without remuneration, a unanimous v'ote of thanks was given Mr. Brom field as at least showing the com- I>any’s appreciation of his untiring eflForts in its behalf. The News wishes to congratulate the stockhold ers and citizens of Brevard on the splendid howing made by the new ’phone system. BREVARD CLUB MEETING A raee:ine of the Brevard Club has been called for Tuesday night, June 13, for the regular monthly business meeting. KEEPING BREVARD CLEAN At last there is a movement to ■clean up and keep clean Brevard all the year around. Drays will be supplied to carry off the trash by the tow^ and the citizens can now make II" piles of trash, call the right au- thoi. V and get rid of it free of cost. DR. !:UNT DESIGNS FOLDER Dr. C '.V. Hunt has designed and edited a ?ry interesting and boost ing fold-^ which w’e were pleased to print foi "e good of the cause. In anc ar column we print it in full and f ’ ?gest that those interested cut it ov . paste on cardboard for future re'^rence. IV CAN YOU GET IT? Mr. William A. Band, Brevard, North Carolina My dear Mr. Band: I write to thank you very cordial ly for the large amount of space 'oa gave to Brevard Institute in a •ecent issue of your valued paper. It shows the bolsters spirit which is .0 marked a characteristic of your yeneral attitude, and 1 hope it will be an example to all of ug to induce more co-operation in our community. Again thanking you, I am Very truly yours, C. H. TROWBRIDGE PROFFESSOR TROWBRIDGE PRAISES BREVARD Editor of the Brevard News: After a year’s, leave of absence, he writer returned to Brevard last fall to resume his duties in Brevard Institute. It was a very great plea sure to observe the development I'lich had occured under Mr. Orr’s i Iministration and the continued in- erest and co-operation of the com- iHunity in the efforts of the Insti- ute to provide a practical education it low rates. More than seven thou- land dollars had been subscribed by )eople of all denominations for the construction of the new dormitory; such purchases ag had been made vere \nade at reasonable prices; friends on every hand were glad to help in every need. Since that time the same kindly 'T)irit has constantly been manifest. Merchants have sold their goods with out unreasonable profits; people in the county have let us have produce and have sold stock at prices satis factory to them and to us; the local contractors for the new building have underbid all others; the Betterment Association has continued to give our students low rates for their enter- “^ainments; the moving picture houses have been strict in their censorship of their own pictures recommended for our use; the churches have wel comed Us and provided their best seats for us at all times and the pas tors have been generous of their time at our chapel exercises; the county paper has given us space and advice ind help of all kinds with our press room; and from every side have come evidences of the interest of Transylvania in education and of a determination to help the schools in every way. It is a very great delight to get back into this kind of atmosphere. I on’y regret that it is impossible to enumerate all the kindnesses in this space. Those who have extend- c'd courtesies may be sure that no one of them all has been unappreciated or forgotten. We trust that the in- <!titution may be able to show it gra titude by it increasing value to the town and county. C. H. TROWBRIDGE PARTY FEALTY HARMONY AMONG THE DEMO CRATS According to an Asheville paper an article appeared in which it was claimed that the throwing out of 56 votes 1^ the county board of elec tions in the State senatorial race, had caused a political rumpus in Bre vard, that threatens the party har mony of Transylvania Democrats. This report is greatly exaggerated. While it was found necessary on ac count of irregularities for the can vassing board to delay their decision until Wednesday, June 14, in order to make a thorough investigation. The Democrats are thoroughly in harmony. The candidates themselves are the greatest of friends and the controversey, if any, is practically settled. It is rumored around about town that there is a great spilt among the Democrats on account of the sena torial race, etc. This is only another attempt to throw the Democratic party into disrepute, etc. The race for the senate can have absolutely no influence on the outcome of the fall county election as it is a state office, and the nomination is equiva lent to an election. The three coun ties involved rotate in nominating the candidate by a gentleman’s agree ment. • It reminds one of that“old gag a- bout the Irishman who was beating up his wife; the stranger attempted to take her part and was whipped for his pains by the wife. Transylvania “The Land Water falls.” The primary of last Saturday was remarkable for the utter lack of any signs of booze. Not a drink could be had, not even a smell, .ind the Mayor’s blotter shows a clean re cord. Quite a number of strangers are in our midst and the beginning of our tourist season is heer. CUNNINGS—FETZER Coming as a complete but delight ful surprise to their many friends was the announcement of the mar riage of Capt. Wm. Fet^r to Mrs. Dorothy Roland Cunnings of New York and Anderson, S. C., which took place on June 4 in Asheville, N. C. The Rev. Campbell of Asheville officiating, the happy couple are now residing at Camp Sapphire prepara tory to the opening of the Camp which will be July 1. Someone has suggested that th Democratic primary reminded him of the fall of Rome rt the battle of Waterloo, We prerume he meant that Nero’s fiddle v -; playing out. The Primary is over, shake hands and go to work. DOGC2RAL Not a drum was - ard. Not a funeral n' a By the candidat' chosen, By the Deniocr?. : vote. Why are you a Republican? Or why a Democrat. It would be in teresting to learn of the reason of the party affiliation of the individual, and to learn how much of party his tory he may knov.'. That most men inherit their party allegiance is pa tent, and that bigotry has more to do with party prejudice than judgc- nier.t, cannot be denied. Party names arc no Indication of continuous party sentiment. The Bourbon Democrat can trace his pai‘- ty ancestry further into the past than can his political rival. Yet if he goes back far enough he will find himself classed by the detested rival name. For when, after the political rivalry of Jefferson and the elder Adams, party conventions succeeded congressional caucuses, the followers of Jefferson called themselves Re publicans, while the Hamiltonians were Federalists. Madison, “Father of the Constitu tion.” was a Republican of the stripe of Jefferson, yet he was the projec tor of the protective principle in the tariff on imports, while the mo dern Den"''crat is in theory a Free Trader, e: "ept that he has not the courage tc ay so, and suggests the tariff is ju. ified aniy as a revenue producer. The nam' Democrat w’as applied to the Renub cans in derision by the aristocratic Fi'deralists. Since 186i) ♦•he principal political organizations >.rv3 been known by their present names, br^". in character both hnve changed. Could Lincoln visit us to day he '^ould have difficulty in re cognizing as. his own party that has wandered so far from his teachings. And who would think of making the polices of Cleveland tally with those of Jefferson? Jefferson, the Democrat, was the first public edvocate of the abolition of Negro slavery. Lincoln gained iinmorality by achieving it. Madison, the Democrat, fathered the protec tive tariff pri nciple, and while it is inconceivable that he would have supported it c', it is in present prac tice, the idea has been a vital tenet in the theory of government of the latter-day Reoublicanism. The stud'^nt of political historv must be awire of these facts, and the student political hisstory is be coming cynif^l regarding the reasons for party t'..Tilintion on the part of the masses. There are explanations of ^''e situr<-ion other than mere in i’ -d fealty, but they are hardly o' - mentary to the ideal of A n citizenship. Advertising signs in the national "orests of California must come lown. Advertisements printed on ‘^ree'5 and rocks are also to be effaced. Such advertising is prohibited in all national forests without special per mits, which are seldom issued. Un- 'ightly signs and bollboards deface •■he mountain landscapes of our na tional forests.

O^Kelley, deceased, notice is hereby given to all persons having clains against said estate to present them, itimized and verified, to the undersigned, on or be fore May 25, 1923 or this notice will be plead in bar for their recovery.

DIDN SAVE Willie Sims, once a famous jockey recently told his story to a New York magistrate: “It was a poor year when I did not clear $20,000. Now I’m forty- on« years old. That’s old age for a jockey. I don’t seem to be any good at anything else and I am down and out. Send me to jail, judge, or any place where I can get something to eat. I don’t know how lo steal; I can not beg, and I am starving. Sims could have saved over $75,000 during* his career as a jockey. If he had invested his earnings he would, have now been on easy street-living on the interest of his money. He never saved-he never had a savings account in a good, strong bank like this one. It's a pathetic story of Sims, but there are many in this world like him.
