Address All Communications To The BrevaVd News: G Foreign AdvertiainK Representative THR AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1922 •*%%%% MORE INDUSTRIES NECESSARY While it is true that Transylvania county is growng rapidly and the ci tizens as a whole are unusually pros perous. at the same time, it is well for all of us to stop and ponder, amid this present boom anj at the begin ning of our greatest tourist season, over the alarming increase and enor mous amount of imported food pro ducts, woolen goods, grains, etc. For the past twelve months many of our largest manufacturing industreg have*, either been shut down entirely or else running on half or part time. It is true that they are nearly all running full time at present; but very little chestnut tan bark, very little lum ber or hardly any grain or livestock has been shipped out of our county during this past twelve months. While thousands of dollars have left our county for food products of all kinds, vegetables, fresh fruits, grains and feeds, clothing,*shoes, etc; in fact' nearly every necessity of life has | been imported anj our gold has been ! exported in a steady stream. About a year ago the banks showed a two hundred thousand dollars deposit more than both banks show at this , ' time. Transylvania could raise enough irish potatoes to feed several states and yet we import thousands of bushels. I The new department stores will probably eleminate the shipment of many thousands of dollars and will At the Jast meeting of the Board f Aldermen, Henry C.‘ Ranson was ppointed .and elected an alderman a take the place of W.

THE COMING POLITICAL B(ATTLE Several interested political adja ators have been wondering and ask- ng just how the Brevard News»will 'andle the coming political campaign, ^or thei'.r benefit, and all others who nre aYixious to know, we can safely ay that the Brevard News will be iust as fair as it was during the cam paign of two years ago in which both parties sent letters of congratulat- tions and good will, signed by the chairman and executive comm»ttees, immediately after the campaign. Any political articles will have to be 'igned with full name and any ad vertising matter be cash with order at the rate of thiry cents per column inch' for display and ten cents per line for reading matter or notices. We must insist on cash with the or der, too. MINISTER MAKES STRONG SER MON ON “STEALING” THE TOURIST WILL FIND IT MORE REASONABLE IN BREVARD Brevpd merchants are selling just a little less than most other sum mer tourist towns. For instance you will pay twenty-five cents for a dish of ice cream with nuts on it, in near ly all summer resorts, while here in this “modern Garden of Eden,” it is just fifteen cents. All other so called luxuries are cheaper in propor tion. The folks in “the land of hos pitality” know the meaning of hos pitality and practice what they preach. Of course there are some of the perpetual loafing grumblers who find fault, but after a little thought 'and experience one has to admit^ that perhaps these pesimistic chronic knockers are just a wee bit jealous ovor thoir neighbors pros perity and are inclined to be look ing for something for nothing. Not only are all commodities and necessities of life more reasonable in Transylvania, but rent is unusual ly low and while it is known that pro perty must double in value during the next twelve months, at the same time, dirt is marvelously cheap in iiiaiiy txiuus^nus ui uoiiars and will . i •' v— ^ stop that tremenous loss by keeping where in tte nonnljfto? the money at home; but in orde? to .^er esML'lirf‘T stop the greater amount of imported nnr, products from being an absolute ne cessity, the farmers can stop plant ing so many acres in just one crop and can'begin to raise more hay, feeds, vegetables, chickens, hogs, sheep, beef cattle, more thorough bred i^ows and plant orchards suit able for our climate. There is far more money in truck gardens or in raising at least enough domestic fruits,^vegetables and meats for home consumption than in having simply a one-crop farm. It is always a case of the money all eoing out and none -<roming in. With the roads now con templated, anri the ever growing tourist trade, Transylvania can easily become the greatest truck garden in all this section and it is time for the farmers to realize as a strict business proposition that their prosperity lies absolutely along this farming line if they are to keep up with the growth, ' taxes and increased expense of mo-' dern farming. ; More payroolls have been the cry- i ing need of this section for many > ears an^^ it is becoming an impera- I tive need of Transylvania county to induce would-be manufacturing Indus tries to locate in our county. i Whv should it be necessary with ' our v/onderful natural resources to , sjo-ns will Hp ^hip our raw materials away to be ' ^n property be found so reasonable. This statement will be found true if investigated by anyone desiring a summer home in the mountains and nowhere can one finj such a health ful, invigorating climate for such a summer home. Rev. C. C. Smith, the pastor of the local Baptist church is* creating considerable thought among his con gregation by the bold and manly man ner in which he delivers his sermons straight from the shoulder regardless of where the chips may fall, Mr. Smith has been delivering a series of sermons based upon the Ten Com mandments. He has shown by these lectures to be intensely in earnest and by his eloquence and logic must have given his subjects some very deep and earnest thought. The Se venth Commandment was handled in a very diplomatic manner and al though a dclicate subject to handle in a mixed audience, th*s young energetic spiritual and progressive leader did not hesitate to declare that “the practice of birth control” was apparently growing instead of decreasing and that many admired couples of fine physique would have to meet their unborn children on the day of Judgment. Mr. Smith had to preach in the dark last Sunday night owing to the failure of the electricity at the power plant. His subject was “Thou Shalt Not Stealj” and among many other pointed remarks he declared that the present agitation by the railroads in North Carolina for a fifty-three per cent flat increase on freigW; was done because of the fact that North Carolina was about the only pros perous, State in the Southland and it wag a case of the railroad’s getting money where the getting was good. He also spoke of a very prominent Christian business man who had lost many hundreds of dollar^ ^implv be cause citizens who professed them selves Christians has refused to pay their just «nd honest debts to this man when he was financially embar rassed. “Land ’Em Smith,” said he considered both of^ these matters a simple case of “stealing within the law.” I Crowd Listening to the Late Senator Knox Deliver Independence Day Address, at Indepemfienee Hall, Laet Year.

The noble company of visitors was a great credit to her and the good olfi Palmetto State. We of Transylvania were honored and delighted by thair presence and held in our hearts a hearty welcome for all. Allow me to pay a tribute to one who deservedly has many friends in Greenville and many friends in Bre* yard. One who labored unceasingly, in season and out of season for “the Jones Gap road,” one unselfish, with out guile and ever devoted to the public good. A man whorh we tail delight to Iftnor, Mr. William Gold smith of Greenville, South Carolina. C. W.HUNT, M. D. PROSPERITY POLLING IN! ing politicians gathered to grind more sweat from the downtrodden slaves and middle classes. The absentee vote and the direct primary have ap parently served their purpose, and now with this great citizenry of new ly enfranchised voters the twenty year old rings realize it’s the begin ning of the end, because the hand writing is on the wall.

Already the golden dawn of it is upon us. Before Christmas comes, a million visitors. With their many million-^ of dollars, will have rolled over these mountains and through these valleys whose beauty makes Western Noiith Carolina a topic of worldwide discus sion among tourists. We are indebted to the Spartan burg Herald for a brief bi^ of illumi nating comment. That paper, enthu siastic over “what the highway and the automobile are to mean to Wes tern North Carolina in the next few years,” points out that “wi'tHn the last week 85 cars have fourfd their way to the mile high inn near the top of Mt. Pfsgah.” Eighty-five cars to one hotel fn one week! From that statement the imagfnation leaps at While those interested have seen fit to announce their grievances and loving friendship for their fel low worshiper through these columns of-the Brevard News, “Ye” Editor would take the liberty of tellinj^ the Christian brethren that the great ma jority of the Christian forlks of these mountains feel rather mortified that there has been such a controversy es tablished in one of God’s churches, the Mount Moriah Baptst church. Why not have a great revival, stop the devilish racket among yourselves and start a united, fight against sin and hell? As far as the News is con cerned, the foolishness is ended. We offer you the columns of “Tlw peo ples exponeht for the Teachings of Jesus Christ;” but not for the pub lication of the wordly ambitions of nnv group or set of individuals or mere mortals. follow. But there is an intimation of deep significance in this crumbling of the walls; it is God’s challenge to us to redeem our debt to the #lost sheep of 'the House of Israel, giving them a new vison of the Lamb slain for their sins and ours. Through the broken fence they are finding their way into our fold; shall we feed them or drive them away? Christ’s plan was to make of the two one new fold. We have spoken long enough of Israel’s blindness—the good Shep herd who* came first to seek them, must marvel at OUR blindness; and we need to pray daily that the scales may fall from the eyes of His prof- fessed followers: that they may re member that the Crass of their re demption was mome of the shoulders of a Jew; and that, possibly, if the Christian is seeking an opportunity to express his gratitude, he can find no way more pleasing to His redeem er than patiently and faithfully to give the Gospel back again to those who first gave it to us, . THE JEW—A PRODUCT; THE CHRISTIAN—A DEBTOR (By A. C. Fellman) (Special for Brevard News) The Jew is the product of centuries of environment. He is largely what we have made him. Social and*rel- gious bari'iers have separated him from the people among whom he liv ed, for fifteen centuries. Mediaeval JChristians, by severe restrictions, penned Him up in Ghetto: and the Mosaic law, with the rites and cere monies, its rigid restrictions, built a | high fence between the Jew and the Gentile.

A patriotism thus enlightened ^nd inspired will, as has been said, be close of kin to religion. Preserve Faith and Hope. It is not boasting to magnify one's blessings, or to dwell lovin^y and proudly on the principles and ideals which are American. It is neeessary indeed to do this, since there- are sMne unhappy souls who see nothing good in America, and who are even ye^ lock ing to Russia for inspiration a^ sal vation. Nothing can be done- with or for such, but it may be possfWe to prevent others from being led astra.y through ignorance of what America truly is. The American people have been impervious to the incursions of; Bolshevism, not because they are dull and stupid, but rather because they- are satisfied, and have reason to be.. They know their America well eaongh • to know that there is no country In) the world in which opportunity is more’ freely oflTer«?d, none which comes so near being the country of the average man. Many Things to Leam. « On the nation’s birthday, therefore, the American people should pledge themselves to greatei; devotion to American Ideals, to more loyal and un selfish service, and to stricter conform ity to those great principles which lie at the baski^of ,the natiim’s life. There is great nee^ for education, since much of the failure to appreciate this coun try is due to a pitiable ignorance of its histor.v, its institutions, and of all that America has - throughout Its life ‘ stood for. And tliis ignorance Is often the densest in t! e minc\s of those who think of tlieniselves as reformers, and who indeed are allowed to pose as such. Men need to be very sure that they know what liberty, as won by people of the Anglican race, is, and what are its safeguards. It is partic ularly necessary that they should un derstand the right of mmorities, and sliould realize tliat there is such a thing as the despotism of majorities. There are some things that a vote of the jnajorlty cannot be allowed to sanction, as our constitution recog nizes. Perhaps this is one of the most important lessons to be learne<I, as It seems to be the most difticult to bring home to men. The verj* restraints of which the uninforme<l so often com plain have no orher purpose than to protect the helpless against the strong. And this is a part of Americanism.
