It. la, always humiliating for a man to acknowledge his own poor judgment, but I frankly own up to my short-sightedness and ask the kind consideration of my friends and fellow citizens of this county. , I had hoped hat- I had it arrang- 1 ed so as to give to Transylvania county a first-class country newspa per, and I had no idea, of making the Brevarad News an imitation daily, but to make it that which is mor<? valuable to the people of 1 Transylvania, namely, a weekly newspaper giving the most import ant news of the week in the world ? in general, the United States more i in detail, North Carolina more "defi- i nitely, Tjgnsyivania county _in par- 1 ticiilar and elach section of Transyl- 1 vania county specifically; but in this, the former, nianagement of the | Brevard News has failed.' , As long hereafter its I control' the < destiny of our county paper, I promise to the citizens of our coun- ] ty.that we will have a non-sectarian, ] non-partisan and non-political pub- 1 lication, and I will endeavor to ( print what is for the best interest of our county from a mental, moral ^ ' financial and political standpoint. '( I will npt attempt to, ' convert the i readers of The News to any reli- 1 iji^tui .creed or. political 'platform, 1 but will advocat6 that -which is i right. and Just apd best for all, as 1 can be gathered from the best, of 1 9 p*. country, oujr churdhes at^d our J cqunty. , ' , ? I '?The columns of the Brevard New.s 1 Shalt* remain open to the people of the county for any words of praise, ^ criticism or advice thpy may . havd j 1 but all personalities will be h aired. ^ I will welcome communications ( from the ministers or members of , any religious organization, ; from the officers or members of any ?ra- < ternal organization, from the lead- 1 srs and members of any political' 1 party and from the representatives < it any civic, municipal or commu-*-' nity organization, and, jn additlob, ' a prints citizen -shaWn alwayfe have . the' right' W' express Ms views throbgh the columns of tbei Brevard News. V* j I shall endeavor, ai>d* sincerely hope, to secure the aid and assist ance of (correspondents in each and ' every locality and community in ' our county who -drill write' me the ' news of 'tWr vicinity % and same ' will be promptly- published just as'.] same is received, as I want the . Bre- ! ' vard Ne-tors to be the medium of in- | ? formation between the citizens of j j fije various sections of Transylvania ? "<ninty. I want the .gojid citizens of 1 Boyd to know the good citi zens' of Boha'ney are' doing, and I ' w?nt the good citizen? of Glouces- ' for -to loiow what is Mnpening in 1 the extreme southeast portion of ! Litt'e River, and I want The. News made such a paper that the former 1 citizens of Transylvania county, ! who nave left our county and are 1 living elsewhere, can read its col- ' nmns and know the daily or week- t lv haDpeniflgs of their friends over 1 the entire county. I will not devote much space to 1 the cotton and stock market, nor to ' the baseball or horse racing' scores, 1 bu if John Boggs on Turkey Creek { has raised a tomAo^ of record 1 ^?eierht, or if John Gillespie, of East 1 Fork, has raised an' apple above the. ' average, or if Heman Kitchen, of Gloucester, has raised a rutabaga 1 that, would take a prize, or jf ' Lee ( Norton, of Hogback, has a shoat ' :hat would win a blue ribbon at. a ' county fair, or if Dave Holliday, of. ' Bovd, has the largest cabbaare, T 1 will prinf these itims and will b" 1 ^lad to get them. And then, in ad- ' 'ition, I want the people to know which boy qjr girl, has done well at ' -chool : and, in fact, I want to pub ,-ah all the news which shows that 1 Transylvania county of its citizens ire progressing, and that its people 1 ire moral, church-going, Maw-abid "S. - industrious and ptogresswe -itizeris, ** 1 I can't do this bv myself, nor enn t.v other man or woman do same nlone, but it is only through th* 'lei" of the people of the county that i <-nn pet out a naper whieh . wifc truly show the kind of county 1 we have and the nature of the peo- ' pie who live therein. 1 I am not afraid to have a fair and ' just comparison made of Tran.<>l vania and its citizens with any oth-l er county anywhere, and all we I need to do is to let the people of I the world' know what we have here!' in our vhlleytf, in our coves, on our i hills, ridges and mountains, and we I ? * will see good people from all sec-j tions coming-to us and investing' their money here. * It has been my good fortune to 1 travel and see something of the world and its people, and I have had tho opportunity of living elsewhere, and perhaps of making more money than I do in 'our . county; but still, taking it all in all and far and wide, there is more of life and happiness in our county than is to be /ound elsewhere, and I want you, my friends, to help me tell what we have in Transylvania to those who do not live here,' and %his can be done best through our local paper. I, want you to feel that the Bre vard News is "YOUR PAPER and OUR PAPER," and your advice in regards thereto will always be glad ly, respectfully and attentively heard. . ' ? . I have covered much ' ground in the above creed of The News, but tvith your help I hope and shall strive to ever live up to it. ' No one can truthfully say that I lave ever been a hypocrite, and the Brevard News, as I long as I con trol same, shall always be candid Mid truthful. W. A. Band, the former lessee of The News, published an article in the paper last week iA which he no- '( titled the public, and also me, that ; le was going to give up the paper , this week, and I have not had the | tiifte nor the opportunity to even i i>uy the paper on which this issue ' was' printed beforehand, but I had ;o phone to the dealers to get same,,, md I have done my test to get men rod material to get out this issue.; I promise 'tho people of the coun ty, however, that in the immediate j !uture - you will have p paper of which you can be proud, if you will . jnly co-operate with' me, which co jperation I sincerely ask and my endeavors shall be to mak6 Transyl- | rania County as good a county as ;hete is in, North Carolina, and the Brevard , NewB as good a country weekly newspaper as thert is in our mtire state. .
