WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITIES We wish The Brevard New.; had a .circulation extending over the greater portion ox our Southern States, as well as over other sections c i our Country, so that we could tell the public, and especially those who ivisi: it. invest their money in real estate, what we have to offer them here. We. who live here all the year do not fully realize the wonderful country and climate we have, be cause, like many other things when we become accustomed to them, we then take them for granted. Our mild winters, and our cool sum.r.t rs. our crisp and invigorating air and our pure and sparkling water, are so commonplace with as, that we fail to recognixe or realize h'ivv good our Creator has been to us in T vng us these things without Our trouble is. that we are con tented and so satisfied with our pre en; conditons. that we do not ccri ourselves ami make the nec cij^.y efforts to get outside people t<> come in. We cannot trade and traffic among ourselves and do much improve rsur'.t, ami we have to rely upon the effort of our outside capital 'n order t*> progress. I J the ;v. -"-11 who wishes to buy real i- .U- ? van only know of the low r ri-.v of iar.d in Transylvania, and v..,a Id realize that it' he got in here . aw before the hardsnrfaced high ?va;\ are built- and before the prop r-t; i.- advertised. as it will be, we -\ould find buyers knocking at our doors. Ivov.-jvc r. no one will come and we <i>; r.o- e:;pcct them t" come unless rhi'y know ' something about our County and its resources. When one of our sister Counties fair have a development in it such as the Chimney Roc!: proposition and when the water power from a small stream can be sold for a million or .?r.ore dollars, we can then realise ??"hat we can do with the water powers in this Caunty on the French i Broad and other streams we have j here, if we would only bring them j before those people who are inter-, cvsted in waterpower.-. As we know of hotels anil resorts j being built 1 in other 'sections not so | favored as ours, we must not at tribute to the superior natural ad vantages, but only to the fact that the people in these sections are wideawake and progressive and take j advantage of their opportunities to j advertise what they have and to get j investors to come in and .in that, | they improve their own property as ; well as their neighbors. And there is one other thing to be considered by those who have not property for sale, and that is, the question of taxation. Our oldest . citizens do not re member of taxe< ".er beuig reduced and the same can be said by our .rrand children, and therefore the only way to help our*elves is to get ( more property to be taxed, because > It takes a certain amount of money to run our County, to run our State nrv! to run our National Government. | and like the cost of everything else, ! the cost of Government is continu-j ously rising and in order to meet this raise and to keep the ta.x levy i as it is, we must increase the tax- i ?hle value, and the only way to do ? that is by improving and developing j the* property which ve now have. ?o tfrov? who h:> v;. nothing to sell, j ji. wht by improvements as well, as ; -Nr..;o y.'ho sell rh > . perty. We have been in* \:"g about the { material and financial part so far,i hut there is also another matter j it- ore important, and that is, t! it the opoortunities for cdncrtson and' cultivation are greatly improved as, our County is improved and as a result, we improve morally, mentally and physically. j We will have mofe churches, more schools end more libraries, our boys .viil be taught to become skilled and l efficent workers in whatever line of 1 ousinoss they may engage. Our .vomen will learn the value of econ omy, of science and training in their domestic affairs, our farmers will not iiave their hours of work lengthened, jut they will be able to learn the value of scientific and efficient meth ods of farming or truck raising or poultry vaisng. Every man and woman who is j worthwhile, wants co see our County take its place in the forefront, the man who is satisfied with simply nuking enough to put clothes on his! back and food in his stomach, and j thereupon keep breath in his body, is i a poor citizen, although he may be otherwise honest, ? he is like the servant 'a the Bible who took his tal ent and hid it and returned it to his Master without any increase,. So let us do all we can to advertise ! Transylvania County, and to let the j outsfde world know what we have to | I ' j offer, and then when people come I here let'j sell them property at a j reasonable price and let us be con 1 tent witii a reasonable profit ami I leave some remaining for the ether follow to also make a profit, and in I that \*ay we will Jieep a continual | stream of investors corning here and becoming citizens and tax payers of ; our County. IN MEMORY OF MRS. ELIZA A. ZACHARY Mrs. Zachary, wife of the late i Jonathan Zachary, was a member of i family of eight children and the last j one to pass away. She was a daugh j te rof Wiley Jones.a prominent I ?itizen and former sheriff of Buiu i combe County, X. C. Mrs. Zachary i .vas born in 1836. She was married : o Jonathan Zachary in 1854. Mr. Jonathan Zachary, son of John Zachary. was a member of a family i of fourteen children, all of whom ' lived more than fifty years. Mr. Jonathan Zachary, her husband, a i: nee I' ami honorable citizen, passed ? o his reward in i 8 i) 5).. To this union b? rn and reared ' fourteen chll- , ! irv-n, viz: Kannie, Ralph, John., ! Wiley, William, Hattie, Joseph, Loonie, Eiicar, Eugene, Richard, An lie, Frank and Salliu. The family lived in the vicinity of | '^airfield and Cashiers Valley, till , when they moved to the French ; "road Yr.lleV, "The Aiken Home- , . lead." between Calvert .and Rosman, ? N. C.. | it was hero, we "yes, all of us, ' j ..new the family. It was here we ali visited and associated during the 70's, Su's and iiO's ? -for 30 years. Here was the Mecca for the ! f reach ers, for they knew they were I rife in a "God Fearing House." It v.*as here the teachers met in intel ligent and cultured association, il was here the aged stopped for com- ; fort and refreshment, it was here ? the young people assembled for joy, ? :.musement and happiness.? "Truly, they lived by the side of ' % t i I the Road and surely they were the 1 | friends of Man." During the 30 years mentioned i above, more people representing all i the walks of life, visited and aj.-'c*. 1 a:ed with this family, were fed and cared for by said family, than by any < other famil yin Transylvania County, i'urs. Eliza Zachary has spent a long, busy and useful life in actual ser vice as a mother to her family, as a neighbor to her fellow man and uj a servant of her Lord and Master. ]' She was a friend to the friendless, a ! mother to the motherless, she re- j joiced with those who rejoiced and | wept with those who wept. She met, \ walked and parted, with the high and the "low, ?vith the rich and the poor ? on the same level with the same ' Christian spirit. And during all these years of service she was a , faithful and consistent member of the Methodist church. Always abounding in faith, hope and charity ? that love which extends through . the buundiess realms of eternity. Thr -'.Jueen lr.uy live in a palace, , in* may be clothed in purple and fine linen. She may wear glittering . goiden crown, and fare sumptuously - every day. And yet a hungry Laz- . virus, or a needy cripple may languish . at her beautiful gate unnoticed.- ? But it remained for Mrs. Zachary to be adorned in a plain, simple dres:v? - in keeping with her modest womanly life ? to be an angel of mercy in a j Conutry Home, who fed the hungry clothe the naked, visited the sick, scatte: ' <1 -niiles and kindness over a , despairing soul. She has finished her ? course, .h; has k<r;it tho faith, she ; has (lone what she could. , Therefore, i a crown is. lad up for hey which the ? Righteous Judge shall give ? "For as ? reach u.- ye did it unto one of the j ( 1-ast of these, ye did it unto me.'' 1 So, on April 3rd, 1925, Mrs. , Zachary, at the home of her daugh- ' ? , ... ? I i ter, Mrs. Annie Gasoway, at Central, S. C., folded her mantle around her and her soul went back to God Who gave it. May the sweet smiles of a mother's face ever bathe the memory of her children and may the blessings of God and the Power of His Spirit ?waft their souls to her's. Funeral sendees were conducted I by E. R. Welch, methodist minister. Her body was laid to rest at Calvert Cemetery, in ihe presence of ju large number of friends. ?A friend, T. H.

While the Governor expects to ap point only democrats to membership on the advisory budget commission, he disclaims an intention of banning renublicans for political reasons, making plain his decision to consider ta.h case on its merits. The Gov ernor feels that th- Democratic p-.rty iis rcr>on.iifcl{? for th? yueoess or laiiiiiv: oi me iisoa.i pom;y vi uic State and this Conviction prompted the statement that he felt the Bud get' Commission should be composed entirely of members of the majority party. But he has placed no ban on republicans as a general proposition. The newly appointed State Prison Board is scheduled to meet here to morrow for the purpose of selecting prison, officials for the ensuing two years. The visit of Governor Mc Lean to the Central Prison and farm near her on Friday was not made with an idea of an official invest'.ga tion into the affairs of that :nst:tu-| tion, according to a statement giver out by ihe executive on h:s ixtui'.i. He was accompanied on the tour by Superintendent Pou and reported a v'ery enjoyable trip. The Governor. j remains silent ou. the subject, but it is generally conceded here that he will recommend the re-election of Mr. Pou and all of his present associates j in the prison management. Pou was j against Bailey and for McLean in the primary last summer. Bailey is | fighting Pou now, which is conquer ed an asset rather than a liability with the man whom the superintend ent helped to "put across. ?"A friend in need, is a friend indeed. A. E.
