Lathrop, the aldermen who favored him as clerk and treasurer i f the town of Brevard were decid edly nominated and while some of defeated were either luke-warm :n their attitude towards the clerk or else for or airainst him, it is pretty well understood that this was the train cause of their defeat. .

In the first place, let me say that Ilnleiirh is famous for its '.-.ospitality and Ih "jrlad hand shake." Usua ly the li' si place a visitor wants to see is the Capitol building, i he jrroiinds are beautiful. The sta !:c of (leorjre Washington stands uuard at one entrance, that of Zebu Ion Vance another. Throughout the grounds are several other statues of our heroes, some the first to die in our several wars. The building is a four square colonial structure. The interior shows signs of age. In one of the Legislative Halls Washington's and Vance's pictures, or paintings, hang on the wall facing each other. From the capitol dome one can see for miles and miles, and not a mountain in sight. "The Soldiers' Home" is about one mile from the capitol square. If I ever visited a place where peo ple were glad to see me, this was the place. The buildings are on the cottage order and art very home-like and comfortable. They have a well-equipped hospital but this was a sad place to visit, as so many were confined to their beds: The nurse told me twelve had died this year. Most of them were cheerful ami talkative. Numbers asked me where I lived. When I said "Brevard," two asked me if I knew preaehe Jordan, the great evangelist and sing i r. I was more than glad to meet two of Transylvania's brave sons: Messrs. Reeve and Kimsy. They were both happy and pleased with .heir home. Tu all their kindred and friends they sent their kindest greet ings. The different churches visit them Sundays. This is a day they look forward to with untold pleasure. I spent one morning visiting the Blind Institute. The children are an inspiration to those of us more for tunate. They read and write by the touch system. It is wonderful to hear how rapidly they can read.

You can establish that truth easily, and to your own satisfaction. The facts are available to anyone. Any independ ent garage mechanic will tell you how soundly and wis ely the Hupmobile is engineered; how finely it is built. Any Hupmobile owner will tell you how amazingly little it costs for upkeep, and for operation; and how thoroughly reliable and consistent it is in service throu ghout the years. Its comparative absence from the used - car columns will give you some idea of its high value when you re sell it; and its price will convince you that it is one of the worlds greatest motor car values when you buy it.
