Address- All Communications To Tho Brevard News: FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1923 ECONOMIZING AT THE START: The County commissioners, Lyday, Aslnvorth and Galloway, at the regu lar monthly meeting on Tuesday, Jan uary 2nd, start the new year and ad ministration off by economing: The amount paid to Mr. Fullbright as jail or was considerable cut down and several overcharges were refused pay ivent until the correct bill was pre sented. The home and farm demon strator, whose time was up the 1st of (he year are not employed again after the fifteenth of January; it is saij that about twenty-four hund red dollars a year goes to these offices. In an interview with a representative of the "News" the commissioners ex plained that it was not a question of 'a new broom sweeping clean,' but that the people of this county wanted imj elected them in order that they would "ECONOMIZE," and they ex pect to do exactly what the great majority of the citizens expect, re gardless of politics. THE FARM AND HOME DEMON STRATORS The question of keeping a county :iud Home Demonstrator in Transyl vania county jumps up about once a year. It is like the "measles," crop ping out without notice at any old time. The Brevard News has stated its position so often that we are weary tf the subject. This :5 of vital interest to all the la: -payers of Transylvania county rin ought to be settled once and for ;tl! time by those most interested and mostly by the farmers themselves. While the town of Brveard is pro fnibly overwhelmingly in favor of Keeping both these offices, there is a tvlrong sentiment against one or both of the Home and Farm De monstrators out in the country, the li.v-ways anj hedges, etc. It is very easy to get up strong Ignitions either for or against, and this has been demonstrated time and f.ga-n during the past five or six years. The present Commissioners have discontinued the present personnel of these two offices after the fifteenth ;f January, 1923. On Monday, Jan uary 15, the three county commission ers will meet to decide whether it is eessary for Transylvania county to continue to employ a home and farm demonstrator, or just one of the offices or to discontinue both. The County Commissioners have pointed out to the Editor that they are open-minded about the matter tmd will do whatever the majority of tax-payers fr decide. They under stand that a great many farmers are opposed to these county offices ant realize that the farmers are the ci 'IK The largest railroads in the country are now using this slogan. We think it is a good one. And why shouldn't it appTy to your money as well as to your person? When yoj place your money with this bank, you are certainly exercising due caution. Yes, "Safety First" is a good idea in both instances. tizens directly interested. The Comis sioners explained, however, that the question of who shall fill these posi tions is squarely up to them and it is up to the tax-payers to decide whether they really want a home and larm demonstration office kept in the county or ' " not; and it is not a ."juostion of .ie personnel at all. The Commissioners, naturally, ex pect to say who they shall employ, he kind of work expected, etc. The present Home and Farm De moivb.rators have many friends who seem at all times very r.nxious to be come enthusiastic over the wonderful results of their work and especially uoes Mr. Lindley receive great credit for being a "veterinary" or live stock ioctor. In fact, this side issue of his work is stressed too much and the real fundamental value of his ad vice and work is overlooked, it seems o the News. Th movement inaugurated for co operative growing and marketing oulfi certa nly use a farm demon- .Li-ator. Mr. K. t, Lawrence, a form er agent, did much to promote this idea and there are many who were sorry to see him leave, although a change in the county administration made his resignation a necessity. It is up to all the tax-payers, not 'he towns, to decide this vital ques tion and it is hoped that those who are opposed to employing a home and farm demonstrator, will come out in the open and tell the Commissioners their opinions. The News believes that much is ac- i compiished by these offices and be lieves in progress. The present home and farm demonstrators receive ap proximately $2,400.00 a year it is said ; part is paid by the state and the rest by the county. While the "Brevard News" is in favor of keeping a county agent, we are not at all interested in who that agent shall be. We agTee with Mr. Lindley hat if there is a demand for a change , he will gladly step out in order to let 1 the work go on. We realize the ques ' tion of who shall be employed is ab- rolutely up to the County Commis sioners; nut by way of a suggestion the News has often wondered why it was necesary to go out of the county to find some one to fill this position when there are many native and young farmers who are just as well qualified and perhaps better suited to handle the position than anyone else. They at least know the corditions, soil climate and the majority of the ci tizens. Whatever is done, let us hope that the question will be decided once and for all time. FORMER CITIZEN PASSES AWAY The older citizens of Transylvania county will learn with regret that Dr. . A. Harris died at his home in Bun combe county on Decmber 2(J, after an illness of several months.

This mill, located in a re mote section of the mountains, has been doing a good business with 5, 000 spindles, but the new owner is going to enlarge its capacity by just double.

"in- O wonderful salvation! The sal vation of our Christ that saves from the penalty of sin, from the power of sin, and from the presence of sin! Saves to the plaee where- sin trowfeles no more; where it never again shoots its poisonous fangs into our saulsr where it no more mars our happiness, shatters our hopes, spoils our yians, or destroys our peace. SavedfYrom the presence of sin ! Wheriour smiles will never again be driven by tears; where gladness is no more forcd to give way to sadness; where joy is never replaced by sorrow; where song no more becomes sigjj.:C'; and where no more hope withinr!s dies. Grace assures the believer that this final s.afvation will be his when Jesus come. Is it any wonder, then, that tho true believer prays- accorcf ing to the Scripture, for the hasten ing of that coming.' It is the bless ed hope that keeps the believer's heart rejoicing, and ,s t,iat T'iat makes his "golden age" to be in the future. The salvation of the crucified Christ is regeneration; that of the indwelling Christ is sanctification ; that of the coming Christ is glorifica tion. His past work has saved us; His present work IS saving us; His future work WILL save us. That wonderful salvation! What marvel lous grace! "O the love that drew salvation's plan! O the grace that brought it down to roan! O the mighty gulf that Goj did span n Calvary!" i Si 4 I 3 SSE
