"THE FIFTH STATE" ' In this issue of The News, mention "is made of a recent publication by the Department of Conservation ami Development "North Carolina, j The Fifth State Today" Two times, in this book Brevard is mentioned j as ti mountain resort town, and is indicative of the importance of our i friendly little city among the vaca-i tior, ce:'.:ers of Western North Car- j olin.i. Publicity of this sort is not | bouuht and comes only to deserv- . ing communities whose activities at-, tract the attention of those who are see ing progress. The vacationist j wh" ha? been coming to this com-; munitty for years sees in Brevard, a remarkable growth and the visitors who are here for the first time, nee.l only note the substantial char-, acter of our activities to know that we ire making a strong bid for the patronage of the tourist and the permanent resident of mountain re sort city. SPEED DEMONS I Within ? the past few days two locu ' ca.-s have been seriously bat tt ..-;! by speed demons. One car, ?on che Greenville highway was com pletely "caved in" by a head-on coU, lisiun with a reckles driveiy^-^So ha?:ng a big speedy <&?;"was literally j eaf.ng^ tht^gegfrits if it were his very own and other people had no right on the road whatever. Again on Main street an ugly wreck and possible injuries were barely missed by a speed demon ? who was in too big a hurry to get across the square that he did not have time to run less than 30 miles per hour. A few doses of the law as applied in A she vale last week by Judge Stack would go a long ways to re lieve us of our home speed demons. ' The Asheville Times says, con cerning the passing of judgment by Judge Stack on Mrs. Rogers, who was convicted of manslaughter be cause of the death of a Mrs. Abbey ia an auto accident: Such judgments as Mrs. Rogers received are severe on the individ ual at fault, but in no other way can society establish in the minds 'of those who operate motor ve hicles the necessity for eternal vigilance to protect the lives of other people as- well as their own. A SENSIBLE COURT contrast with the tendency of j JTany courts to thwart justice f:hrt>agh setting aside convictions of ?immals on ^trivial teachnical ?,1-ounds, a decision of the Alabama Court of Appeals is worthy of com mendatory notice. The case of a defendant convicted f second degree murder was ap pealed on the ground that one, of the juors named J. Arnold Hale fcad smswered to the name of A. Ar id Hale on the venire. As a mat of fact, the juror in question was iiionly known simply as Arnold ?~e and there was no other person 1 1 that name in the country in which he case was tried. In affirming thei |nfc?nce of the trial court, the f'urt of Appeals said: ( "High technical and captious ticisins of the rulings of trial i will not cause this court to re .ww causes and grant new trials fciminal cases, where it does not ?*\<tr that some substantial right of defendant has been taken away ft him." I'versal of convictions on account Insignificant cledical errors and absurd technicalities have done much to wttkcn public respoct for many appellate courts. As a distinguished jurist recently said: "If some five hundred appellate judges in the various states would agree to put an end to technicality reversals, and would restore consid eration ot the subject of justice, the whole machinery ot the criminal law would take on a new life."

SURGEONS' BIDS WANTED While there can be no resonable I objection to the custom of calling ! lor bids on any contract involving a ?iarge amount, the habit many busi ness and professional men have of chasing bids on small quantities of printed matter is sometimes exasper ating to printers. In many cases bids are asked. -On obs amounting to only a few3ollars, *'heie securing thg-'proposals must .nevitably cost 'more in time and] t.ouble^tJian any possible saving would repay. I According to a story now being widely published, one printer got j weary of bidding on trivial jobs, and when a surgeon asked for bids on a small quantity of letterheads, and also requested that the type form 1 be left standing, so that he might have the benefit of cheaper rates for future orders, the printer wrote the surgeon this letter: "Am in the market for bids on one operation for appendicitis. One, two or five inch incision ? with or with out ether ? also with or without nurse. If appendix is found to be sound, want quotations to include putting back same and canceling or der. If removed, successful bidder is expected to hold incision open for about sixty days as I expect to be in the market for an operation for gallstones at that time and want to save the extra cost of cutting." J. J. HAYES WAGING VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN REPUBLICAN LEADERS SPEAK HERE SEPTEMBER 6TH With a campaign itinerary carrying him into every town and city in the entire state, Hon Johnson J. Hayes, Republican Nominee for the United States Senate, is waging one of the most vigorous campaigns ever waged in recent years. On September 1st, Mr. Hayes ? is scheduled to begin his campaign in tihe Tenth Congressional District, and accon?pained by the Republican Nominee for Congress, Captain Ken neth Smathers, he will carry his fight into every county of this district. Mr. Hayes and Captain Smathers will speak in Brevard on Monday Sept.. 6th at 11:00 A. M. Much en thusiasm has been noted in the Re publican ranks for the coming cam paign and it is expected that the Republicans are going to put up a fight that is not usually expected in the off ye&r. The Republican state chairman, Brownlow. Jackson, of Hendersonville, has not only united the party throughout the state, but has instilled in the rank and file of the party a desire to- carry the ban ner to victory. A WONDERFUL CITY Far away beyond the bright and cloudless sky, Far up beyond the heaven where song birds fly, Miles beyond the seeking view of the naked eye, There lies a city prepared for us on Ugh. j A city with mansions of pearly white, Forever standing in silvery rays of light. 'Tis far more beautiful \han we can tell, More pure and holy than words can spell. They say, "The streets are paved with silver and gold," This city that was built in the days of old, That will stand erect throughout the long ages To tell a story that will fill many pages. It was built by One free from all guilt and stain, Who for you and me suffered agony and pain. It was built by One who stands pleading today. For the poor wretched sinner to turn not away. Ah, 'tis a 'glorious city I know, Where we all have a longing to go, Where abide love, joy, contentment, and eternal peace, To live throughout eternity with Jesus our Lord. ?Louise Orr, Los Angeles, California.
