THE BREVARD NEWS, BREVAR J^RIDAY, JUNE 1922 Spanish- American War Veterans Memorial day is both a holiday und a holy day. F(»r more than fifty years we have observed it. First they whom we honored were beardless youths, then men of mature years, then “the old soldiers.” We are now reminded that we must also decorate the graves of the fallen heroes of the VV<»rId war. North and South vie with each <ttrter In doing this fine service, for World war heroes came from the whole country. And Shiloh and Antietam, Gettysburg and Cold Harbor have their c<)unterpart in the Somme and the Marne, Ypres and Flanders. 'Splendid spirit! Slagnificent service! But while preparations for these ob- ■ervances take place, we are apt to forget the veteran of the Spanish- American war. So let us not say the heroes of two wars are honored, but rather the heroes of three wars. We have never given the Spanish- American war veteran quite tlie honor which is his flue.

He was a volunteer soldier. He acted in a hurry. He ; suffered. He bled. He endured his hardships. He had his sicknesses. And i he won. | The war with Spain in 1898 had ' enlisted hundreds of tliousands of men; many more tiian were culled for. t M.iny of tiieiu never came back. j The armies in that war were made up entirely of volunteer soldiers. Con-1 scription was not employed and not ! needed. Not a battle was lost in that! war by American soldiers. Not an inch of ground was covered by re treat. For not a single hour from the ; time of the declaration of war until the finisli was there any question as to the outcome. i The world was astounded by the feats of our splendidly equipped navy. Germany silenced, England was won over to our way of thinking, and prestige not known before was given our nation throughout Europe. We obtained a free hand in the Pacific, ^«nd eptablished channels of trade with the Orient. i Best of all, friendly relations with the South were cultivated. Both NoiAh and South united in a common cause. And the M(mroe doctrine was given new force and meaning on this hemis phere. All of that was in 100 days by the Spanish-Americau war veteran. Let us not forget him. Let us do him honor with the others on Memorial days. : Brevard is situated 26 miles South of Asheville, in the beautiful French Broad Valley, surrounded by the towering peaks and circling crest of the Appalachian and Blue Ridge Mountains.

The leaven ing agent in our bread and the gas we bake It with are from coal; so are the agents that tan our shoes, and that vulcanize the rubber of our automo bile tires. We are indebted to coal for the various forms of ammonia that go into fertilizing, electric batteries and household uses; for aspirin, salicylic acid and many other cures for com mon colds; for elements used in man ufacturing, insulating, coatings, pho nograph records and pipe stems; for benzol, the best available fuel for au tomobiles and internal-combustion en gines; for food preservatives, moth balls and disinfectants. While coal furnishes us picric acid, and trinitro toluol, It also carries locked In itself oil of wintergreen and the most deli cate flavoring extracts and perfumes. It will be possible, according to Washington authorities, to preserve the historic battleship Oregon as a fioating menjorfal, when the scrapping provisions of the naval treaty are put Into effect. In order to do thta, the guns will have to be made tnefTectlVe and certain other changes will be nec* essary. Perhaps the old hulk with Its teeth drawn wHI prefigure that day when a battleship will be a gnaint anachronism, a strange curiosity hi some few ports where visitors may gather to wonder and comm^ on an age that made them possible. By virtue of the power given in a certain deed in trust executed by M. Eugene Bracken and wife to the un dersigned trustee to secure the pay ment of certain notes therein men tioned, which deed in trust is dated October 15, 1914, registered in book No. 7 at p^e 297 of Trust Deed Re cords, Transylvania county, N. C. And whereas said notes have be come due and are unpaid, and the holder of said notes having demanded ih"t said lands be sold to pay said notes, therefore, the undersign ed Trustee will sell to the hightest bidder for cash at the Court House door in the town of Brevard, N.
