TRANSYLVANIA—“THE LAND OF WATERFALLS”—2,239 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL exponent of TRAN SYLVANIA COUNTY. TW Aioi fa FraalaiMs , Siaceritj. ' / VOLUME XXVII BREVARD, N. C. FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1922 NUMBER 29 THE TOURISTS ARE HERE More Visitors in **The Land of Water falls" Than Ever^Befor^e—Camps Have Full Quota The tourists are here in greater numbers than ever before, in spite of the heavy rains which are now over. You know they are here from looking at the crowds of guests on the thorpfares, you realize they ate here when inquiring at the hotels and boarding houses. The number here this year could not have been entertained a few years ago. But Brevard is steadily growing and thanks to the new Southern Railroad schedule, which gives four trains run ning into Brevard, together with the low prices for all rents and board ing houses and the good old fashion ed country eating, to say nothing about the attraction of our wonder ful climate and scenic grandues we see more visitors coming in every day. However, we are not crowded and have made preparation for the vast number still to come. Brevard’s greatest popularity is largely due to the fact that we have never made any agreement among ourselves for a ,?reat, exhorbitant price—a price for thp tourist and a price for ourselves —Brevard realizes that these good people are our guests and as invited "uests deserving of Brevard’s famous hospitality.

Upshaw, congress man from the district in Georgia in which Atlanta is located', nis home being in that city, to visit Brevard and speak in his church on a Sunday and deliver one of his lectures on the following evening. On Monday of this week Mr. Smith had ^ tele gram from him saying that he will be here on Sunday, July 30. So it seems settled that Brevard will have the pleasure of hearing this distinguished Georgian, whose career has been so marvelous. When quite a child Mr. Upshaw has some kind of accident that made him helpless during the years that a boy usually has his greatest activities, but, in stead of making him morose and dis couraged, it rather stirred up in him a great ambition to be and to do something worth while. So those years that he was forced to stay in his room on his bed were spent in earnest reading, hard study, and ear nest Christian devotions. So assidu ous were his labors that he became known as “Earnest Willie,” under which title he was famed all over the South. One of his characteristics is his pure Christianity, havinsr from early youth been a devout follower of the Saviour. He is a lecturer of surpass ing charm aijd .power, and for years was with the Anti-Saloon League as one of their foremost lecturers, and that organization gets him now for special campaigns whenever he can Be secured. W^ile having never been ordained, he is an earnst pracher of righteousness, and almost every Sun day he fills one of the large pulpits of the land. Some years ago he entered poli tics and now for two trms he has r.?-. presented thp important fifth Georgia district in tlie lower house of Con gress at Washington. In the capitol city he is known as a man who stands firm for fhe highest things, and a*; one who may ever be found on the rijrht side 'o'i every moral question. His schedule while in Brevard be as foThjws: He will arr vo at 5:3r» Saturday afternoon. Jn!" 29. and -•^t the station will bo met bv a delegn- tion of prominent roi’ted tx) the Fr—“r’-', \\-iere 7-.—’' vn-Vy -V’1 bo dur’ng h-'^ ' ‘r." Viere. On Sunday he will spcn'- in the- Br"<-ist chprrh at the regulr.’- servicr'-’ both morning aPH eveniP" aho speak to men nt 3:30 o’clock in the afternoon. On Monday evening at S:!."! o’clock, lie will de liver one of his popular lectures in ■^ho auditorium of the pu'bic school huildin". This lecture will "be on some subject that i? now prominent ly in the public mind. Mr. TJpsha’v comes as tlie guest of Fcv. Chas. C. Smith, tbe pa«tor of the Baptist church, the two "having known each other since their very younc* manhood days, an^j is giving this time out of his busy Iffe to his friend here. Of course it. is not ri"ht that "Mr. Unshaw should do all of this sneaking free when he is in snch ur gent demand for paid lectures in ovory spotion of the countrv, an,i con- seouently admission to the lecture win lie charged for, "but at popular nrjces and plan of nale of tickets and reserved seats will be announced later.

C., July 17.—Little out of the ordinary is transpiring in administration circles during these warm days and but for the strike of railroad shopmen there is not enough news in circulation to excite discussion. True, the Ku Klux Klan of this and surrounding communi ties turned out several hundred strong Friday evening and paraded the streets for the entertainment of the populace and a boost for their organization, but this event lasted only a couple of hours and without apparent results other than the at traction of a tremendous outpouring of Raleigh people to witness the per formance and hear Col. W. E. Thomp son of Atlanta decant upon the prin ciples which, he declared, are actuat ing the movement. The Klan in Raleigh is said to be stronger numerically than any other secret order, including in its mem- be^-ship many of tlft most prominent citizens of the city. The marchers on Friday evening, three hundred strong and wearing the regalia of the order, literally took the town, but handled it so quetly that even the “blue coats” scarcely realized that they were in the hands of “men of mystery.” The streets were throng ed with men, women, and children who enjoyed the diversion immense ly. The marchers carried banners u'Dcn which were inscribed: “For rourti'y r.nd for You,” “American rrincin’e^ *Shall Not Die,” “As a Friend, Not a Foe,” “Klean Klans Kan IConquer,” Klans were, are and will he. “Coxintoy First. Liberty Al- w^ays, “Protection Women and Pros perity.” At the Auditorium, where Co’nnel Thompson spoke, the w^hite robed 3- KTires occupied seats on the stage and acted as ushers. But none of them took seats in the audience. It was a mixed crowd of men aprt —o- men who heard the ppeaker '^'id fre quently applauded * his nttpr^nces, which w'ere distiTrctively pro-Ameri can. So far as known here, at this'writ- ing, there has heep no disorder on the nart of the railway strikers in Nortii Carolina. Trouble was avert ed in Raleigh -on Thursday by the re- ttrrn of strike-breakers, to the point from which they came, on the sutrges- tion of ]\IayDr Eldridge. Raleisfh strikers harve been exceptionally quiet, but Tirm in the conclusion that the Railroad Xabor Boar<^ has handed them a raw deal in slashing from the ■wages of the shoo workers of the country ^136.000,000 in order, thov contend, to swell dividends to rail roads stocks and P^V excessive "salar- es to railroad executives. The contention is that on May 25 over the vigorous protest of the three labor members of the board, the re- presentaitives of the public and the carriers combind to chop the pay of p^a^Titenarce of way employees and railroad shop laborers fro’n three cents to five cents an hour. The three cent cut appliefi to foremen, the four- cent cur, to mechanicc in maintenance and bridge work, while other groups, with the exception of mechanics’ heln ore, v^ere penalized five cents ^n hour. T’l’s brings the section men and trick laborers down to as low as twenty- three Tcrents an hour. The strikers direct the attention of the public to the fact that these workers with their large families are. nr'^er the unjust ruling of the Board and the insistence of railroad exe cutives. condemed to liv° on $1.84 .i FI 1.04 Week, or !?.')6o a year. providinJt they have fuT! time em- plo^Tnent and lose no time by ill h<'alfh, +he we*>ther. or periodic lay offs. These shonmen contend—and with a considerablp deeree of reason —that they, of all railroad employ ees, can least afford to stand the pro posed reduction i» compensation. They are disposed to believe some of the higher^-Uos in railroad circles should exhibit a little bit of sT*ortin" blood, instead of demanJincr that +he smally wage-earner shall carry all the load. TWO SPECIAL SERVICES IN BAP TIST CHURCH ON LAST SUNDAY The Morning Service. Was. “Camp Rockbrook Day,” Evening Sermon orn “The Prohem of Divo(r‘ce.” The pastor of the Baptist church, Rev. Chas. C.
