"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."

brush your teeth, make your food
better, health stronger, home richer,
yourself happier. The razor, un
derwear, tooth-!brush that will act
in the best way for you.
New wonders you can buy where
to buy them what to pay, the exact
good they'll do. What thousands of
other people are enjoying, just what
! those enjoyments are. Good taste
in home decoration, serving of foods
how to avoid mistakes, make the
most of yourself, the most of your
money; how to save.
All this in just the few minutes
it takes to glance over advertising
columns daily.
Fiist knowledge ! Advertisements
talk to you simoly ? briefly. They
spread wares plainly before you. You
jet their meaning at once. Form
che plesant habit of getting their
.jood news each day. Their facts
mean wisdom for you.
Advertisements in THE
NEWS tell you where
to buy, what, when
and how. Read 'em.

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."

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.

5. He doesn't lose any time by
cause of bad weather or sickness ?

6. He doesn't worry about th.
cost of clothing or of beefsteaks o>

healthful home to live in, just th.
same.
7. Neither does he worry abou
doctors' bills nor dentists' bills.- ?
