The health articles and cachings of Dr. W. J. Wallis have Jone much to put the Newg upon a ligh plane and the influence and con- .crvative counsel of Rev. John C. Seagle hag done a great deal to make he News deserve the great praise /howered upon it during recent aionths. Hi8 Editor has always extended a cordial invitation to all the minist ers each denomination to use the ’oiumns of the News. We would Ike very much now to extend to some local pastor an earnest invitation to write "The Sunday School Lesson” in a broad minded manner for each edition. The News would then have hese special features so necessary in its success and influence. We sincerely thanks Mr. Smith for his consent to write “Our Weekly Sermon,” and we_feel sure that he will be partly repaid by the know- leclpre that he is not only preaching to one great congregation, but that of the great volume of the News I’caders as well.

The follow ing telegram from Mr. Upshaw to Mr. Smith explains all that is known here as yet: “Deeply regret the ne cessity for postponing visit to you for a week or two.

De finite (announcement will be made in due time. soon. “MINDING OUR OWN BUSINESS’ HOME'OWNERSHIP •A man who has spent most of his life in social service work recently said that he had practically reached the conclusion that the most effective way of attackinjr modern problems would be to inaugurate a permanent nation-wide compaign for home own ership. His idea is that the source of most of our present-day trouble is the lack of family stability. The home owner does not desert his w’ife and children. He does not suffer from wander lust. He takes a strong interest in his coinaiunity. The purchase of his own home arouses his ambition, his thrift, and his industry. Being permanently located, he is a beter husband, a better father, a better citizen, and a better worker. The more you think about this mat ter, the more you will be convinced that it is fundamental. The strength of the small towns of this country is rooted in home owner ship. and, without stretching the truth, it may be said that the unrest in the large cities is due to the lack of home ownership.—Oxford Ledger. REV. CHAS. C. SMITH i TO WRITE SERMONS liev. Charles C. Smith is probab ly one of the busiest pastors we have in our community; but like all busy men, he can always find just a little time for something outside of his re gular line of life’s work. The editor of the Xew's ha> requested Mr. Smith to devote a litie time each week to the vast host of the News’ subscrib ers. and he has consented to write a short sermon. It is understood, however, that he will be excused when he finds it too inconvenient and will try to make up in the fol lowing issue. No ono realizes probably bettor than an e<litor cr author how tedioug a tisk it becomes at times to write any kind of an article. There are J22'’^v hours in which the inspiration ‘simpiV v-'on’t co.iie and of course there aro times when the ink simply refuses to stop flowing. For many years Rev. C D. Chap man has v.’riten “The Prayer Corner.” Its fame has spVvra 1 far and wide. Just recently a group of New York ers visiting in Florida could hardly wait to receive the Brevard News for this feature alone. Many times the Editor of the Brevard News has been complimented upon the wonderfully beautiful prayers of Mr. Chapman. Mr. J. M. Hamlin’s articles are of great help to the News because his writi.r,g ?,re intensely interesting. Dr, C. W. Hunt is of course the grand Every now and then some “know it all” individual will endeavor to give his opinion on most any subject and try to impress upon us that it is right because he knowg it all, but when you express your opinion, it falls on deaf ears. There are many such individuals and "we are all aware of this type of pompous citizen. This citizen probably is not aware that his attitude is rude, to say the least, or that everyone hasn’t the same high opinion of him that he has of himself. There are several funda mental causes for this self-opinion ated personage. It may have been his early environments or the edu cation he has received when young. Possibly he may have been “boss” over a number of people who natur ally catered and looked up to him for guidance—We do not want to put the matter too strongly and ^while passing on, let us drop a tear, too, for the men who are not of this type, but who are striving to carry on a great enterprise, whose working hours are not limited by the whistle and whose hair is fast turning white through the struggle to hold in line dowdy indifference, slipshod imbeci lity, and the heartless ingratitude w'hich, but for their enterprise, would be both hungry and homeless. Several years ago the editor of this paper was called to task for daring to defy certain interests. I was told to “mind my own business.” that the matter in dispute wag no con’em of mine, that I had gone out of the way to meddle in something that would do me more harm than good. But as the publisher of the home paper and as your editor. I believed that the matter in question wag a detriment to the growth of this community, that is, was a direct monopoly against the ;ieople of whom this paper is the na tural exponent. The News was bad ly abused at the time and suffered financially for the utter lack of co- ot)eration because of our strong at' titude at that time. But the people were wwth us and such a strong protest was made at the time and ever since that the New's, with the support of the real citizenry, has won out and now “a boom has been started th^t wdll be of lasting benefit to the whole coun ty.” There ar alw^ays certain groups, certain indi'' luals and certain rings w'ho are anxi is to belittle your news paper. Ther ^ is always a certain type who take it as a matter of course for the newspaper to pull their chest nuts out of the fire and both these groups are eternally fooling them selves, but no one else, when thoy attenmt to “buck up against the nress.” If a newspaper is honest in its convictions, if it cannot be bought, the people know* it and generally sup port it through thick and thin. It is not my attitude to say “I told you so,” but it is my attitude to say that it pays to advertise and to be sincere with the real people—It certoinly won’t pay in the long run to use any underhand methods to gain an end' or to build up a business because “Be sure your sins will find you out.” We have been criticized upon another small matter within the past year and were told that “we were butting in where it was none of our business,” and we wonder when the people know the facts whether we will be commended or not. We think we will. The hyprocrite will hide his weak ness but the honest man will be frank, open and aboveboard. IT IS the busi ness of this newspaper—that’s what it is published for. It is not publish ed as a po’Jtical exponent of any one and as long as we are working for the good of the people of this Treat, grand and glorious county, we believe we will be vindicated, upheld and backed up by the great major ity of the people of this county, “The Land of Waterfalls.” state senator, and I am also pret>ared i to show the people hosome of the | Canvassing Board, assisted by a few | of the high officials of the Democratic party, have tried unlawfully and wil fully to steal my nomination. If J.: M. Zachary enters t^is race, as he has ' no egal or moral right to do, then I, am prepared to show from the court | records of his own county and affi- j davits from good men of Jackson county, what manner of man he is. Fellow Democrats of this district. I don’t believe that you will stand for a man who was honestly nominated for an office being robbed of that office by a designing few who have no interest in the Democratic party except for their own personal gain. I shall include part of two affida vits to prove to you that I did receive the nomination in the June primary, which are as follows: I H. E. Stowers, being duly sworn, I says: That on June 5 he helped R. I L. Gash tabulate the votes cast in' the June primary for State Senator I and that from the official returns,' Coleman Galloway received 749 and; J. M. Z&chary received 729, giving' Galloway a majority of 20 votes over J. M. Zachary for State Senator. Sworn to before F. E. Shuford, Deputy Clerk of Superior Court. E. M. Whitmire, being duly sworn, says: That he was the Register for Eastatoe Township, Transylvania county, in the Democratic primary of June 3, 1922, and brought in the returns to the canvassing board on June the 5th, 1922; that he was made chairman of the said canvassing boltrd at? the meeting held on June 5, and canvassed and tabulated the returns Jn Transylvania coiAity for State 'Senator in the race between Coleman Galloway and J. M. Zachary and that^the returns from the several precincts in said county as brought in and certified to by several town ship boards, showed that Coleman Galloway received a majority of twenty (20) votes over J. M. Zach ary for said office of State Senator for this district. Sworn to before N. A. Miller, Clerk of the Superior Court of Transylva nia county. If this is not sufficient to prove to you that I received the nomination honestly, then I have plenty more evidence to make out my case. COLEMAN GALLOWAY Miss Tazzie Parham, who taught for several years in the graded .school at Brevard, recently underwent an operation for appendicitis at the Bilt- more Hosoital. Her many Brevard friends will be pleased to know that she has recovered sufficiently to be f’gain at her home in Fruitland, N. C. Messrs. Judge T. H. Calvert, A. Emmerson Eve, court stenographer, Congressman Zebulon Weaver and Solicitor Garrett Bailey are all here this week on account of court. J. L. Smathers of Asheville, pro minent furniture dealer, is visiting in Brevard. r I PROSPERITY FOR ALL “Where the Jew goes, prosperity follows”—We are getting the busi ness and when business is good with us we try to get more by frequent sales and a bigger volume of busi ness. We have cut our prices lower than any printing office in Western North Carolina—Try us. I AM THE LAW. TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF TRANSYLVANIA It is to be regretted that the result of the Democratic primary, held June | 3, for the selection of county and other candidates was such that the returning board saw cause to declare no election in case of the office of State Senator and recommended a new primary for this office. | Accordingly, the Democratic com- ^ mittee ordered a new primary to be held August 5 for the selection of a candidate to fill this vacancy on the ticket. I While I was a candidate at the June primary, I submit to the new order of things and declare myself a candidate for the office of State Senator before the August primary.' My friends who supported me loy- ' ally at the June primary have my sincerest thanks and deepest appre ciation; and for those who saw cause to support my competitor, Mr. Gal loway, I have no unkind feeling, and trust they have none for me. I regret the necessity of asking' my friends to undergo the trouble to attend another primary, but the exi gences of the case make it next to imperative. ^ It is only natural to desire as credit able vote as possible, as we are ask ing for a nomination to b^ endorsed by our sister counties—Jackson and Haywood. Respectfully submitted, J. M. ZACHARY COLEMAN GALLOWAY ON SECOND PRIMARY I see from last week’s paper that a second primary has been called by the Democratic Executive Committee to be held on the 5th day of August, 1922. This is not the second primary i but the third one that has been called i for this year. The Canvassing Board had the ncrve to call one for the last I Saturday in June, but this one was ' called off. ! This is to notify my friends that ' I will not enter the so called ille gal second primary, for the reason that I was nominated by a majority of twenty votes in the June primary, but I shall enter the race this fall and I am prepared to prove to the people of this district that I am the nominee of the Democratic party for NOTICE TO Every one who owns a car is notified that they must have a new license tag by August 1, 1922, or pay the penalty. / This is Final W.
