NEGROES NEED TO
BE VACCINATED.
Dr.' E. S. English, in the course of
conversation, stated that he had vuc
oinated more than three hundred
people during the past tun days, and
.in tlmt large number there were only
two negroes;
L is just such i-at.es'' us this which
calls- for legislature as requested by
the 'Women''*' Bureau. Last week
the bureau asked Representative
\\ib*?;n to introduce a bill that would
? couijel vaccination and fumigation.
? Such legislation looks like the only
v.av ?Vvii of a great diffieulty.
nes -go right from their homes
int tlie homes of the white
I . i ; le as cooks, maids, and
mu>es. No doubt there iire col
ore. I w0m?n whose homes contain
rictive eases of smallpox and other
contauious diseases, right now work
ing in the homes of white people of
thi- town. It would seem, then,
tin- ladies of Brevard arc well With
in their, rights, in asking for a eom
pai^'?ry vaccination law and com
pulsory fumigation, to the end that
their' own homes may be. protected
against diseases the germs of which
are easily carried about by cooks
and ijiuids.
THAT SALARY AND
WAGE COMMISSION.
Governor McLean's pet hobby is
jb is -budget system, of course. Next
in his heart and soul, judging from;
.his own utterances, is the salary and
wage commission. iVlany of the
j?ov??nior's best friends do not agree
with liim on the question. There is'
much criticism as to the personnel off
his commission. Perhaps it would be '
bettor tu state it differently, and say i
the governor made a mistake in j
selecting his commission entirely f
from the "Big Business" class, for;
all the state admires the qualities of {
i he members of the commission. {
It Is the fact that big employers of]
labor were selected to set the salaries '
and wages of state employes, instead j
of mixing the group and putting on j
the commission people who could!
vi 11 be classed as representing the j
employes themselves, that causes
soivu. of the governor's friends to '
criticise his wage commission. Ilis'
plan is wrong.
The News believes, however, that I
Governor McLean acted in the bej>t '
of faith in his selection of the com- i
mission. Hi- \s?s trained in that]
school of thought which holds that
the . successful man must think for
the mas* about him. And the w??i>t
I';/." ?>f the whole thing is that tiov

Governor's recommendation for a

nation knows this fact.
This is a debt that is paid directly

NO MENTION OF
ATIONAL PARK.
Friends'- of ..Governor McLean who
J live in Western North Carolina are
fitch concerned because, the governor
| laiL'd to mention thr* Smoky Moun
ain National Park in his message! to
cite legislature. Just why Governor
McLean failed to take note of this
most important matter is not easily
understood.
Surely the governor could not
have overlooked so important matter
| ' the great Park plan! Meticulous
ly carufu) even in thinking about
;>tat2 affairs, cautious in jtho extreme
in his official acts ^"Tvel'rtor Me
Ma an couldn't have overlooked the
? greatest question confronting the
? Western part of the state today.
Then why is it that the National
Park movement was not even hinted
ai in the governor's message?
YOU'RE WELCOME!
.Editor The News:
Let us take this, occasion to thank
you for the splendid publicity you
have given the tuberculosis cause,
land particularly the Seal Sale, dur
i ing the year just past.
? You understand of. course r that
if* is impossible to get anything over
[to the people in this day and time
[except the newspapers help. You al
so k::c/?" that the fight against tuber
i culosis is the biggest fight being
Waged today in the prevention of
disvasc. It is the biggest because of
the toll of life it takes; it is the big
gest because of the sickness incapa
city (this being more than ail other
preventable diseases put together, in
fact many times more;) it is the big
gest because of the economic loss
in sickness and death caused.
Every one engaged in this cru
sade, including the newspapers, has
cause to be encouraged over results
obtained and to be hopeful for the
future. We have at last gotten to a
point in tuberculosis work where we!
are giving, 01 are pepared to give a
square deal in this matter to the
children of our state ? intelligent, j
scientific, effect, and effectual care.
We are prepared to find the under- j
nourished children, where 95 percent
plus of tube, culbsis in children or- j
?ui>, and which is the direct cause
of many other diseases, and we are i
prepared to do the few or many
thintrs that underlie and cause this
serious condition in 30 percent,
sometimes more., sometimes less, of
our children.
If sufficient funds are marie avail
able for this work, we predict that
in the next decade this state and na
tion will see another big decline, per
haps h** much as fifty per cent, in
the deaths fi> in tuberculosis and
many other di-rases directly or in
directly cau.?ed by undernourishment.
Again thanking you ami \vi;h
sincere good wishe-. we are
Veiy truly y-ur*.

iiva feet apart and a row of velvet
b .ms, goobers or peanuts in the
center. His hogs live out in the
woods all summer and in the fall he
? tints them into his' cornfield where
they pull down th? corn and root "Hp
the ]? .muts. and are ready for
market about December 1. ?orn
can be planted as late as May and.
still make a crop. This allows tin
farmer to make a crop of winter

the same land.
Th'? annual county fair here about
Thanksgiving made a wonderful
showing of hogs and. poultry and
?train and fruit. The cattle were not
?So irood, but there are some good*
cattle in the country.
Bee> work more or. less all win
ter. A week ago; I found a swarm
in the forks of au oak tree right
here in town. They had been there
some time and had about 10 pounds
of honey fast to a limb. 1 climbed
mpr and sawed_off the limb and let
them down with a rope and now
have i\ good strong swarm of bees
in a gum at home. It sounds fun
ny, catching a swarm of bees on
New Years Day and have them
start at once to fill the gum. but it
is true.
Land here is fairly cheap. Good
land away from the main trunk
highways can bu bought at $35.00
an acre up. Land on the trunk
, roads is being held at $100 an acre
and . upward, and is no better than
the lower priced lnnd.
We had roast 'possum for dinner
yesterday, "c'mon over." This letter

v. a\ Ifrpt one or more boats, and
: omelitnes would have one fitted with
an cigine. He both preached and
practiced.' "power transportation" on
'he French Broad.
One of his favorite amusements

'.could be happy for a week.
He was one of the "Old School"

years he printed the paper on the old

having a boy to help feed the press.

a number of >pecial friends that he
would always send a supply of the

Governor McLean spoke" to the
Budget System in his message to the
(i^nvral Assembly on Friday for
which* he claims the following re
sults of the first year's operation;
Suved a large amount in interest on
.' ft term notes in anticipation of
taxes; fitly percent saving on public
printing bill; purchasing supplies at
wholesale found to be vey advan
tageous; requirements of requisi
tions bv some official of a depart
ment puts all purchases on a strictly
business basis; big reduction in per
capita maintenance cost of state in- j
stitutioris; that governmental re
ceipt.-; and disbursements can be
bandied in such a way as to prevent
deficiencies of consequence at the
conclusion of the fiscal period. The
Ciovernor told the aVsmbly that the
operation of the Executive Budget
system during the last biennium has
saved the state $1,206,824.04. He
would increase the school equalizing
fund a million dollars and give the
Confederate soldiers and widows an
additional sum each' year the sum of
$200,000, which he says, can be done ,
without any big increases in the tax \
rate, except as to inheritance and.;
estate tr.i.cs and privilege require- j
