. the? Scout, Frederick Saltcrs, a ne
phew of Mr. Hays joined the camp
era. ;v
After leaving Flounce, about
three miles from Marion the Scoutej
did a qbeer ' good turn. They ia me
upon a Ford coupe, wrecked and' in
Tha^dltch, there -were two negro wo
menVid a ' negro girl in the 'car and
the women w?a cut over the
eye. .The other woman said that
ujLpiuuieu now. -y rxne woman asttea
to btf taken into Marion and bo the
,icouts took them. The queer part
of the good turn comejs here, sever
al days later $4 ^'Florence' p&per was
the story of * negro woman who
had mudered a man and escaped and
then was wrecked in a Ford coupe,
with two negro women at the same
time, same day and iame place the j
ocouts had assisted them and how.
after aid had been sent for, 4hb wo
men were aided and taken to Marion
by some party, unknown to the .po
lice. Yea, a queer good turn it was
helping the woman, who as far as ia
Unown by the scouts is at large now,
probably saving her from the peni
tentary. (We have since learned
.that the woman gave herself up to
th police.) v! . ' -i
After leaving Marion nothing Very j
eventful happened and . they repc^ed
Myrtle Beach about6':00 that even
ing where camp was pitched. !
The next two days the scouto had
a good time on the beach swimming,
and at those activities which give
camping its lure.
'On Friday the. scouts went to
Murrels Inlet, sixteen miles from
Myrtle Beach and here had the first
sea fishing qf their lives and caught
several sharks and nineteen Croak
ers and the fish surely tasted good
when fcooked for supper.
Sunday the scouts attended two
lectures delivered at the Baptist Con
ference being held at Myrtle Beach
and here heard a missionary to Cen
tral Africa tell of some of his exper
iences. , i
The' next morning, Monday the
fecouts left Myrtle Beach and going
by Marion, Florence and Darlington
S. C., reached Mr. Hays old home,
Liberty Hill, S. C. where along the
Cataftba the scouts fished for two
/Jays, leaving Wednesday after
noon for Charlotte, N. C., where the
hight was spent and etc were roy
ally entertained by JJrs. J. A. For_

OFFICIAL RECORD
The work of the Department of
Labor and Printing haa doubled sev
eral times since Mr. Shopman's con
nection' with it: the, directftp of the
cooperative Federal and Stfte free
employment ' service, with Ideal offi
ces in Asheville, Charlotte, ^Winston
Salem, Greensboro, Wilmington; '^n'd
Raleigh, has been added to the dut
ies of the Commissioner; a new '"bu
reau of the Department for the help,
of our deaf population, created by
act' of ' the last Legislature, is func
tioning nicely; the gatherihg and
comilation of) facts and statistics re
lative to farming and labor, manu
facturing, mining, water-powers, etc
entail greater labor each year.
Thousands of dollars (morie than
the operating cost of the Depart
ment)^ are saved ahniially to the
State by the careful supervision at
the public printing and approved
business methods thsit have been in_
troduced in handling this important
*tem of government expense; thou
sands of the unemployed, including
hundreds of former service men
have found positions through the em
ployment division; m&ny of the deaf
have been ' directed to situations
whicV have enabled them to estab
lish themselves iji life since the de
velopment of -the bureau tbr the
defcf. under the Supervision; of . the
Deportment; yet but a beginning has
been made
- Auditing' "experts Employed fa
check the records of State depart
ments and introduce improved me
thods failed to find any- errors in the
records and could suggest no- im
provement id the system, in vogue in
this Department. These experts
stated th?t> the Department of La
bor and Printing was easily one of
the most efficient and most economi
cally administered of all the State
departments. V;' - ?
, This department is conducted on
strictly business principles, in the
interests of the taxpayers of the
State. |t is a tax-saving rather
than a "tax-eating" department.
In so many ways and by so many
different methods has ifr. Shipman
increased the efficiency of his depart
ment that to enumerate them all
here would be quite unnecessary.
Suffice jt to repeat, th?n, that the
General Assembly has properly rec
ognized his efficiency and the vastly
increased importance of the Depart
ment to the State, and that this effi
ciency has been attained during the
.time Mf1; Shipman has served the
people. ,
HUS SERVICE RECORD
Hitherto the friends of Mr. Ship
man have refrained from placing
emphasis on his record of service to
veterans of the World Wai* because
he , felt it would be improper for a
candidate for office/ to boost his
cause on account of affiliations of'
that character. But in justice to
him we feel that attention should
be called to these facts;-'
1. Tbfct tvhile he was too old to
bear arms in the war, he did every
thing to help win it, spent months
in the campaigns for the siie of
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps and Red.C^oss and Y. M. C.
A. work, besides contributing his
full share at every turn of the way
2. When the conflict had been con
cluded and the Federal Government
abandoned the Employment Service
Mr. Shipman took It over in 'North
Carolina without additional compen
sation for no other purpose in the
world than to give aid to the retum_
i ing soldiers by securing positions
j for those who were not restored to
I their former positions or for any
I reason were seeking positions. Se
curing the cooperation of chambers
I of commerce 'and local authorities
I in the larger cities of the State, he
! succeeded in keeping six offices in
J operation untH the General Assem
i bly, on his recommendation, came
I to the rescue with an appropriation
j to establish the service as a perma
j nent institution.

CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE NOTES
The advance guards of the tour
ists are arriving daily, and the un
precedented demand for booklets, ?ad
vertising matter and information as
[ to houses, cottages, hotels, boarding
i houses, camp sites, etc., would seem
I to indicate an unusually heavy
summer season, '
A number of cottages and houses
rented for the season. Correspon
dence as to many n\.ore. Those with
houses,- cottages or apartments
would do well to see the secretary.
The directors of the camp schools
are on the grounds putting on the
"final touches," ready for opening
next week. Prospects are good for
all the camp schools, and, this time
next week the girls from Rochbrook,
Illah<x>, Keystone arid Brevard, and
the boys from Sapphire, French
BroadH- Transylvania and Carolina
Will be much in evidence.
Visjtow to Brevard this week, for
the first, time in a number tof years,
are' bewailing the fact that the roads
leading to Maidenhair Falls,. Triple
Falls and Bridal Veil Falls are either
abandoned or so^much neglected that
it is very difficult to visit them.
There are doubtless other- points of
interest whose approaches need at
tention. The taxi and public ser
vice men would be ireatly benefitted
by the improvement of these roads;
it would also increase the v^lue of
the property owners along the roadB;
and' would re-open many points of
beauty and interest to the tourists.
As we advertise the land of the
.waterfalls we should -give the visi
tors fulT opportunity to see? all of
the waterfalls without undue exer
tion or expanse. The Secretary
Would .be glad to assist as much ''as
possible in gettitlg the. road ai^thori_
ties, the property" owners, and the,
public service drivers, to co-operat
ing- In' this work.
The proprietors of hptels and
boarding houses would do "well to
tell their guests of the public Hilary
Oil the square. Many thousand
volumes, with a variety to suit all
tastes. ? f ? .
Regular bus line is now running
from Brevard to Xake Toxaway. V
A number of fishermen have visi
ted us, stating that they are hunting
the fellow to Jerry Jerome's , RAjn
bow trout that was on exhibition in
Asheville a few days ago.
The numerous waterfalls and won
derful views that are eas'.ly reached
by auto, will take a visitor at least
a month to see. A little work in re
opening trails would make more
than twice as many points of inter
est easily accessible. Our best ad.
is "a well pleased tourist who has
spent a month,'* A still better ad.
would be "a better pleased tourist
who has spent two or more months."
As the town and surrounding coun
try fills up with visitors, it will ma
terially assist the arriving visitors,
if the hotels and boarding houses'
would . keep the secretary informed
of the amount of space they still
have available; One . minute at the
phone In the morning may save the
visitors and the secretary much time
and trouble, and, better still, may
| fill up "that last available room.'-'
If you wish information, phone
121. If you have information, phone

Secretary.
THE DUTY OF A HOSTESS
It is the duty of every hostess to
notify the Brevard News about their
visitors. It ik simply etiquette and
it is impossible for, the News to
know about all the' flittings to and
fro of* the traveling public unless we
are notified.

How often do we hear the prof

Let us first ask what the Chambir1
of Commerce is striving to do?" It.v.
is working for a better and bigger '

Every professional and business man
will agree that that is what it should ?.
