Address All Commfnicationg To The BrevaVd' News: Lrtr Foreicn Advertising Representalhre THE AMERICAN PRpS ASSOCIATION FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1922 THE COMING ELECTION: Registration Saturdays will contin ue throug:h Oct. Election precincts and voting places are announced in another column of the paper. Large numbers have already availed them selves of the opportunity of j egister- ing for /heir vote in the November election. It is the right and duty of every person qualified to vote, to know the candidates for the different offices, and to make a choice, and vote. At the polls we meet on common ground, the wellfare of the community. It is our blessed privilege to vote as we please, straight Democratic, straight Republican, or scratch, and split the ticket. But every man ana woman has some interest to be re presented at the coming election. Our interests in a certain com munity are what make us live there, and every community has official busi ness to be transacted. It concerns us vitally to vote to place those we think best qualified, in charge over these affairs. We are also called upon to decide who will represent us in Congress in the coming election. Our Republi can candidate lives within our midst, and our Democratic nominee, who recently campaigned this district, is well known throughout the State. The issues are all strictly political. No personal element enters into mod ern political oratory. The day of bitter thrusts and counter thrusts by leaders of opposite parties is appar ently in the passing. As politics is becoming a woman’s game also, and the gatherings largely attende(} by women it is noticable that less ani mosity is thrown into campaign speeches. The old meetings of fist beating, hand waving, politicians swaggering up and down the platform hurling slander at times, are gone. One almost expects tea to be served after the speaking of the present day. Politics is not the formidable word it used to be. We find it is our daily concerns which are being transacted by the officials. They are trying to represent us to their best ability, an^ it is our duty to register, and vote independently, and without predu- dice, other than party affiliations, for the candidates for the different offices whom we believe will best uphold our standards. JOINT POLITICAL MEETINGS: The nominees of the Republican and Democratic parties for the sev eral county offices will meet at the following places any time to discuss the poitical issues of the day. The voters of the County are in vited to come out an® hear the dis cussions aU(j a speciat invitation is given the ladies to be present.

Naturally th 3 'uestion comes. '*Wh.,'|are not more ouses being built, mote store build- igs going up?” It is e question re sting +• supply ant. demand. For three months* in the yefcr every avail able cottage and vacant room is oc cupied and store builaings arr premium, but for nin| long months here is not so much demand for hem. There is no flifficulty about inding business men who will fur- lish the necessary capital for putting ip either s+ors's or house? for rent, iroviding they can iee a reasonable rec^ntable in return for the use of leir money. The writer wa3 speaking to a man .vho had eight houses and cottages hat he rents*r who said that after paying taxes his net receipts were only four per cent. This is not nough. One can get four per cent on their money by just letting it lie at the bank from year to year with no worries about rentors, repairs, Liepreciation and fire insurance. How much should one make on their money? The legal rate of in terest in this state is six per cent, bat the banks say they cannot afford to do business on a six per cent mar- o:in, so they charge eight per cent and collect that in advance. Merchants expect to make from twenty to thirty and in some cases fifty per cent pro fit. But if a man who has money to invest can see a clear eight per cent income as a rule he is satisfied. There are people who want to build in Brevard. The writer knows of three store buildingc and several cot ta^es that are waiting to be built. Why?*don’t they go up. The owners of the lots cannot see the interest on their money. Brevard is oversup plied just now with merchants and there is no demand for houses anc’ cottages at rents that will realize s net eight per cent. How can this be remedied? We must get more permanent residents into our town and more producing farmers in our county. We have the finest climate here, the most bracing air, the purest water and most beautiful scenery. Why don’t people just flock to our section? The answer is that town lots and farm lands are being held at too high a/\raluation. People want to lo cate here but when they inquire they find that prices are too high. This is what is keeping our town dead. We have been here now over ten years and Brevard has not made much growth in that time. During the same time St. Petersburg, Fla., has grown by leaps and bounds, and now has from forty to fifty thousand tourists every winter. I remember when St. Petersburg was a smaller place than Brevard; in fact I built the first house there. After a time we seemed to have r^ch ed the end of our building operations and sveral years the town v dead. We got together and discussed the question as to what was killifag our town. We had » lovely climate, fine bathing, boating and fishing, lus cious fruits and vegetables, grown all the year round and yet people didn’t rush in to share with us these pleasures. One man got up in the meeting and said: *:Gentlemen, I’ll tell you why cur town doesn’t boom. Speculators have brought up every available lot and are holding them for high pricey. As soon as a prospective setttler comes here and inquires the price of lots, he go^s back home with out investing. We, the pioneer set tlers have made this place, we have worked hard and started a town here; these speculators come in and profit by everything that we have done, now make them pay their share. We must have a double rate of taxation, t. low rate for improved property where a man buys ja lot and builds and a higher rate |tor unimproved property, where a m|in bujrs a lot and sits down and waitsjfor it to rise in value by our improvements." The meeting saw the sense of this argument and the to^ accepted this scale of taxation. Tie result was the speculators could noi afford to hold their lots—they eithdr built on them or I'^'^ered the price. As soon as prict ' '*ame down, buildings went up, carp'^ '^ers and conthictors flocked into town. There w$s mor^ demand for hotels and boarding houses, for icy had to be this made •-‘ore demand for f4rm lands and irmers. There was more demaifd for .umber and building inaterial and this caused sawmills to he operated and merchants to loeatew Then, of course, as the town irrew, it ha to have its churches, schools and places of ^mns^sment. Docks were bniit and to deep water, a beautifijil papck was laid cut, ' I ( >cach drives built, golf Inks laid out.

If cc- V m Mocks are used for your walls, i«y must have the proper proportion f cement in them and are subjected 'o tests by the city engineer before they are passed. M . • supply is subjected to ' r.f 5t i "’d inspection, the streets re kept clean, hog pehs are unknown in the city limits, manure piles must >e sterilized daily and removed every week to prevent breeding of flies. Unsightly building^ and back lot sheds are not allowed. You must keep your back premises as clean and tidy as your front yard. I he result is that they have a won derful and beautiful city. The houses and bungalows are built on the monu mental order, the back and sides look as nice as the front. Flowers and lawn grass are all around the house. There are beautiful palms, shade and fruit trees along tiie well k^pt hard surfaced streets. Cement sidewalks are every wher and don’t you dare to thro'w your trash or expectorate upon them, unless you want to pay a five dollar fine. Everything pos sible is done by the town authorities to make a place that tourists will want to come to year after year and stay the whole winter in that sunshine city. And we in Brevard can have these forty or fifty thousand tourists every summer and fall if we will do as the people of St. Petersburg did thirty years ago. Start right, t’ut out this killing of tl>e to'wn by real estate sharks, do all you can to nako clean, heathful and enjoyabe place here in the mountains and people will soon find it out and come in crowds to enjoy this beautiful scanery and climate every year, and there v/ill be no lack of building activities, every ore will be happy, because they will be busy.

PHARMACY A RESPONSIBLE PRO FESSION To perform well the duties of a I)harmaci9t requires education and slcill. The persons engaged in such ser vice ha'A entrusted to them the health and lives of the people, and hence take upon them^lves grave respon sibilities. To be prepared to assume these responsibilities the pharmacist or druggist must be a high school gra duate, serVfe two years as an appren tice, be a graduate from a recogniz ed college or pharmacy, and then pass a difficult examination to become re gistered. He is thus <]ualified to be your guardian in serious sickness. He needs your patronage for all medi cines you buy'^in order that he may be there to serve you in the hour of extreme need.
