Raleigh, N. C., February. 25.?
Editor Josephus Daniels, of the
Wi{$Weigh . News and Observer, and
Secretary of the Navy in President
Wilson's Cabinet, ? is in Philadelphia
writing a book on the life of his for
mer chief. He has been there sine*
?ing Washington immediately
owing: the Wilson funferal and
weeks of work ahead of him in
preparation of matter for the
of his Narrative. ,
meantime, friends in North
and elsewhere have
tone into the Wreslden
in such ?/ wihy as to
speculation, not* to eajr' lnild
the csmpe of oth
the nomination, ,on
the democratic ticket. The Daniels
boom originated first in the tehunns
of influential New York newspapers
. and the sentiment has since spread
to all parts of the country. It is
the outgrowth. of. fraudulent otj
leases by> members of the present
national administration which are
a6w ? under investigation by author
" iiy of ? the Congress. While he was
serving as Secretary of the Navy,
Mr. Daniels turned a deaf ear to
every appeal for a lease pf the Navy
oil Reserves, Hta successor yielded
'to offers' of big oil magnates and
has been forced out pf the Cabinet
on' account of. his stolidity in per
mitting speculation by priveate in
dividuals at government expense.

DR: ENGLISH ON
NURSE AND DOCTOR
Don not Btlln* in Encouraging
Pauperism- ? Spaak* of
Charity."
Editor of Brevard News:
A# a citizen and taxpayer of Tran
sylvania County, I [(hould like to
say a few words in regard to a
whole time 'Doctor and a whole
Nurse for Transylvania County.
Some large ancK prosperous Coun
ties could vefry easily affowjf a whole
time Doctor and Nurse, but with a
high valuation arid\a rate of $1.91
on the 100 dollam' worth of prop
erty, h rate 40 cents higher than
last year. I think it a 'very inoppor
tune time to Add on several thous
and dollars worth of extra expense,
as no Doctor of any ability could
afford to take the place for less
than $ 3, BOO or $4,000.00 and ex
penses, which would add on another
thousand,' andnonune qualified for (
the position cgi&f-'affbrd- to take it
for, leas than $6,00 . and expenses
which would mean $7.00 per day at
least. - You ca$ readily see H Wquld
add from $7,OM.OO to $10,000,00
a year to outrides. Mr. taxpayer,
do you not, tjw we pay enough
already? There ;)u:c slime poor peo
ple it would help very much, but as
a Physician I do at least $1,000.00
worth of practice a year for which
I never reveive a penny, nor expect
to by being exempt from taxes, or ,
donations from the Town, County
or benevolent societies, neither
have 1 taken mortgages or asked
churches or benevolent socWies to
makeup the money beforp I' would
perform the services, but have
treated poor . people; furnished med
icines or any other services without
any reward or hope of reward, and
if every 'body -will do as much, there
?fe vary few people who will suffer ?
for lack of attention, ^here it is
charity, but when there ii an able
bodied man Jit the family, I do not
consider it pure charity for the
Town, County or any individual, Br
benevolent society to continually
support them as it only encourages
pauperism. There is a question , 1
should like to ask.' When and where
are Nurses taught to examine school
children or anyone else and diag
nose their cAses and insist on opera
tions on noses," throats or any other
part of their anatomy?

SEARCY FAMILY IMPROVING.'
The family of Mr. Wjll Searcy,
about whom the community has felt
?> much concern during the past
two weeks, is now, located .where
help can reach them. On last
Sunday i)r. . W. J. 'Wtallis, county
health officer, and Rev. J. R. Hav
went up on the mountain, and with i
'he help of friends and neighbors, I
moved the family to a house belong
ing to Dr. Wallis and not far from
his residence. _T-he men of the
iarty carried the babies of the ,
family in their arms ' down the
mountain to e waiting car furnished
by Messrs. King and Waters. Messrs
Bromfiel^ and Snelson each furaish

A group of men saw that the'

Mrs. Marr has been engaged as
nurse and every care and attention
is being given the stricken family.

Per&ocratk Out For Victory
Prominent Citizen * Being Mentioned ? "Honest"
Bill Henry Is Solicited For Sheriff? T. H. 'To '
Galloway For Representative. Political Ne^vs.
This being the big1 political ? year,
National, State and county and
North Carolina always Democratic;
naturally the Democrats of Trana
ylvante^re wanting jup and becoriw
inK in, tasted in finding
tha b?(t&p8slble' candidates for oif
flee. J .
Already in - the Sheriffs race ffer
nomination two candidates hafe
announced their intention J>f
making the fight. Me?ar?. E?k
Simms and Louis Galloway. While
no other candidates have definitely
announced their intention of making
the nee for th< nomination, le' is
rumortd that Ed Gillespie^ who ran
in the last Democratic primary, will
probably be a candidate either f6r
Register of Deeds or- Sheriff.
However there is a ' strong . 'move
ment among many friends and es
pecially among %>* women and
those who have the great funda
mental principles of the Democrat
ic party close at , heart so
liciting and urging Mr. Wm. Henry
to make the race. The great ma
jority of the Democrats realize
more and . more each year that the
people of Transylvania demand that.
the very best available mater'al
in the Democratic ranks- must be
nominated and put up as candidates
in .the general election. It is point
ed out, by his hosts of friends,
that, this year it is not a question
of the candidate who wants the of
fice; but a question- of the office
seeking the Sheriffs No man has
a better record, no Transylvanian
has a bette character and no man
in this County. has more friends
and admirers than Ex-postmaster
"BUI" Henry. It is true that he has
had many favors at the hands of
the pebple of this county; but so
trustworthy has Mr. Henry been,
and his ' record such a glorious ex
ample of what a faithful servant of
the people can; accomplish; that the
fact that' he has held offices before
is his "greatest asset and the main
reason that ? pressure is being
brought to bear upon this God fear
ing man to again lead his faithful
adherants to victory. That he is
the strongest Democrat out of of
fice 'in Transylvania pounty is ad
mitted by every one who is in a
position to know. While i Mr. Henry
has not definitely decided upon his
course of action, tha- News feels
confident that should he cast his hat
in the ring that his nomination
would only be a question of count
ing the votes.
It is believed that Mr. Ed Pattor
j will again' be the Democratic nomi
, nee to succeed himself as Treasurer
. Mr. Patton is one of the young pro
i gressive leaders of his party and
will help to lead his party to vic
tory.
While no one has been officially
announce for ? Register of Xteeds
there are many who would like to
see Mrs. Beulah MVMinn Zachary
elected to this position.
One of thes most important po
sitions is that of Representative.
Mr. Wm. Duckworth, the present
Representative, made a splendid
i _
record 'and he is , entitled, to arioth*
er term by the Democrats and
could have, it; but owing "to hii ate
inclination to serve another term,
the Democrats are looking about
for another as likely a candidate.
This office is merely an honorable
position and really cost#1 the incum
bant considerable. The name of
Mr. Thoa. H. Galloway is being
talked of and |here is no doubt
whatever that should he ? decide to
get intto the race, that he could
easily cirry the County. 'Mr. Gal
low*ay is a remarkably fine man in
many ways. He deserves great
credit for the manner In which ? he
Has struggled, all his life under the
.greatest of all handicaps; that of
local paralysis. He is a self-made
man and one of the greatest moral
leaders that Transylvania has ever
known. He :s a booster, a progres
sive, but conservative citizen, and
is one leading Democrat ?whom
the women have ffcith ana believe
in. He will likely be nominated.
-The county commissioners of
whom there are .three are slated to
appear on th<s nomination ticket.
Their record for progressive ach
ievement and for economy is well
known ?11 over the county and
while they work hard for the peo
ple for practically nothing, they
have done well and deserve an6then
term. .'.?/?
There has been some solicitation
by friends for the office of County
(Commissioner to the following
citizens: Wm. Duckworth, Brevard,
Claude Shuford of Penrose; Ernest
Paxtoji of Roeman. However it is
not knowir whether they will enter
the race or not.
That a convention will be called
in a few dajm is rather necessary
to have a get-to-gether meeting.
Mr. W. E. Breese the chairman
of the Democratic party will likely
be re-elected to that position. Mr.
Breese has seen his party defeated
and he has lead them many times
to victory. He has spent much
time and much financially in his
great love for the Democratic par
ty. Mr. Breese has a character be
yond reproach. He is a statesman
beyond compare, in his own county
and it has been due solely to his
advice many tipies in the past that
the Democrats came out victorious.
He has always tried to be neutral in
the Democratic primaries (as he
should) and he has lost popularity
at times and even made enemier
because he stood for what he
thought was right regardless of per
sonal agrandisement. He is beyon'"
any shadow of a doubt one of the
ablest Democratic lawyers in thi.=
State. He is a polished, Christiar
gentleman with a big heart and i
sympathetic nature. The rank an'
file of the Democratic party havi
their hparts nnri minds set upon Mr
Wm. Breese to again lead them and
any talk of resignation or any oth
er political rumor should not be
tolerated.

DOES BREVARD
WANT GCflLF?
There has been much talk of a

calked!
Would there be anything -wrong
incompleting the organization, get
ting charter, and then collecting
five or ten per cent of subscriptions'/
o have an expense fund. Then
there would be somebody an{K some
thing to act.
A* i<f ie, much talk makes little
programs. * ?
After there is a definite organiza
tion to take action, someone (pre
sumably location committee) should
get definite and detailed proposi
tions from owners of proposed
sites.
Then practical and capable! Golf
Export should be obtained to make
report on each location, as to suit
ability, cost of development, terms,
etc., etc. -
If a Golf Courie and Country
Club is in raacb, it Wftufd be ai great

When the first story came out of

friend called him by telephone from ??
Asheville to congratulate him. And
Daniels, q*ite sincere, while appre

that the story was other than spec

seriously thinking of the presidency

Daniels has been described as
presidential caliber by Wiljiims Jen

editorship of the Commoner, he 'once

list. Raleigh not so long agp, Bryan
