Corporation of Charlotte, shows j real progress. This information was given out by the Chamber of Com- j merce at Wednesday noon. Following a meeting of Brevard : citizens with the farmers of the j county, held at the Court House on i July 29th., a committee of three well known men of Brevard, Oliver H. Orr, Julian A. Glazener and L. A. i; Amnion went to Charlotte and made ; careful investigation of the Y. fc B. ; Corporation from every available source. The reports brought back source. The reports brought back to j favorable and justified the keenest! interest of the business men who sponsored the undertaking from its inception more than two months ago. j The business affairs of the Y. & B. I Corporation are in excellent shape,; according to the report of the men j who made the investigation. The large retail business operated in seven stores in Charlotte is flourish- j ing under efficient management. The ! corporation is paying 8 percent div idends on the perferred stock and i i building up a surplus. These stores | I provide an outlet for the large I quantities of produce handled from various sections of the country, and . it is through the Charlotte stores that the Y. & B. Corporation will market1 ^iij^troduce brought in Transylvania County.

After a number of conferences' during the past two weeks, J. A. and D. R. Yarbrough representing the Y. | & B. Corporation presented a pro^i- ; osition to the business men of Bre vard and the farmers of Transylvania County that appeared fair in every particular and which within a y??1 would become a big asset to the <lount>y, Mr. Yarbrough's proposi t-km^_is^as follows: I, T. ATYarbough President of the "Y. B." Corporation of Charlotte," N. C. pledge the honor of myself , and company to establish a store in Brevard. N.

THE PRIVILEGE OF LIVING In my reading this week I found some delightful thoughts on the above subject, which are well worth thinking about in this vacation time. It was said of Sir Walter Scott j that he enjoyed more in twentyf our | hours than most men do in a week. Such happiness may not be the only recommendation necessary to estab lish a man's character, but other things being equal, it should count heavily in his favor. Goodness which is not radient has something the matter with it. Goodness which however impeccable, makes life seem cramped, pinched, restrained and unhappy is not real goodness. : Such good people are often exasper- 1 ating nuisances. One who has to | dial with them understands the lit- ' tie girl's prayer: "O God, make all the bad people good ? and make all j the good people nice." i That happiness is a test of char- j acter can be seen from the fact that I no relationship in human life comes to its best until it flowers out in; the sense of privilege. Even the j relationship of tcacher and pupil in j a school is not fulfilled so, long as ? the instructor by discipline is lorc-j ing stolid children to their work. | Only where intellectual curiosity is set on fire, where boys and girls with awakened minds are eager for choir tasks, has the relationship come to its own. In hoi-.i? life also happiness clear ly is a test.. Often marriage sinks vo burdensome obligation ? ho more two people, tru2 to a legal ar rangement, but not delighting in a joyous felowship, laboriously keep vows which once they swore to. There are other homos, however, ivh?re folks live together who would not be married to anybody ebe for all the world. If the ifov rij kin lit should annul all marriage vows it would make no difference to . them. They are a family because . ;h.v love to be. As for friendship, it is not J nouirh to speak of that in verms of | luty, obligation, responsibility. One j r.ust spoil; of that in terms -of priv- j iUgi'. If friendship meant to any' j one no more than duty to which he j dragged himself with reluctant steps, ( we would pray to have him leave . our circle. We wish none there save'! those in whom all sense of obliga- j t;cn is underlain and lifted as by_ a ; rising tide with the sense of priv-! 'lore in being friends. Happiness, therefore, is a real test 1 of ?V"'' fineness and success of our 'relations. A man who has carried 1 that inward victory so far that ho is ( happy aboi life as whole, and has become wh t Browning called "A ha'" 7 tempered bringer of the best Out of iie worst." is renderiig the world one of the <rreatest services possible to man. "We ne d not care," said Steven son. "nlout happy peonle, whether they could prove the forty-seventh r;oposi!i<>n. they do a better thing than that, they practically demon strate the great th-*onum of THE' LIVEA BI.ENESS OF T.IFE. O God, in whom we live and move and have our being, make us slad for the privilege of living; make nur goodness radiant. We would be fciipp.v. Open our eyes that we may j see that no relationship in human! Iif.> conies to its best until it flows | out in the sense of privilege; that] or!'- where intellectual curiosity is1 c >n five, where boys and girls. ! w h awakened minds are eager for | ?1 ir tasks, has the relationship of | i < acher and pupil come to its own ; j that only in homes where folks live I . to-other who would not be married] to anybody else for all the world, i who are a family because they love j tr be. is there a happy home life. I Make all our homes happy homes. Show us that it is not enough to " :ik "f friendship in terms of duty, obligation, responsibility, that! we inu*t sp"ak of it in terms of j privilege, tr.nt there are no true friends but those in whom al! sens*' j of obligation is underlain anil lifted' as by a l ining tide, with the sense | i of nrivilrgi in being friends. I Enable us to see that happiness is i a real test of the fineness and sue- 1 j cess of our relations; that those and those only who have carried that in- ' ? card victory so far that they are j ' 1 appy about life as a whole, and | have become happy tempered bring lers of the best out of >hc worst, arc rendering the world one of the J greatest services possible to man.

SIN WRECKS HOMES AND DIGS GRAVES SAYS CYCLONE MACK (By J. <!. it.} j The McLendon ijio.'i ngs now bo- j ng hold in the big ton; are coming i up to their .usual standards. 1 n | llrevard. as elsewfioi *v there is a)-' ways an anxious crowd of eager I listeners awaiting the messages of j this powerful exponent of the Old | Time Gospel. Cyelone Mack, inimitable in i. <1 characteristics, force and power, ap-t peared on the platform promptly at | seven-thirty last Sunday evening. ! The evangelist was introduced by James l'\ Barrett who, representing Mayor T. \V. Whit mire, spoke briet Iv of the wonderful work which Rev. li. F. McLendon has done in the past and predicted a great spiritual awakening here, because of his com ing. Rev. M. F. Royal, recently re turned missionary from China, said the opening prayer. A short service was held with an estimated crowd of twelve hundred people in attend ance. After speaking in the high est terms and praise of the Moody Bible Inst Jute and its work. Mr. McLendon urged his. hearers to go with him in a body, and attend the final service of a two weeks insti-j tute, just closing at the Brevard I high school. Monday evening the services were! .v?M attended. The choir, under j t ehleadership of John H. Jones, is } fast" filling up to its capacity and : promising to be all that has been , predicted for it. The sermon, f which the evangelist dealt out to his { hearers in a direct-froirt-the-l'.houl- 1 der maner, was well received and ? many loud "Aniens" were heard I from all parts of the big tent. Hi? closing prayer was one which read il yconvinced even th? most harden ed sinner, that the knowledge of the: presence of lost souls was the aeon- , izing burden of the evangelist's^ ' heart. Looking to the God that h<? < worships, his plea, for help, for k genuine revival and a renewal of vows, will long linger in the **ars hundreds who heard him. foreveir establishing in their minds, the? faith that he places in an unseen ; and undescribable source of Divine assistance that comes ? only from pray-er. Tuesday evening's services saw a , marked increase in both the atfdi- - ence and choir, with -evidence of a more ami fuller appreciation of what is to be expected in u spiritual ] way as the meeting progresses. So 1 forceful. was t he delivery, so eter nally true was the doctrine of Mr. , Mcl.t ndon's Tut'sdiiy t veiling service, the Xews giving its readers as much 1 v>i tins .sun non as possible. From I lis text, tile words found in James 4:3 he delivered a masterful man ? ?.er these words. "Ye ask r.nd receive not because . ye a. .. amiss that ye may consume it j upon youy iust or pleasure." Sin ..as wrecked every home that has ev>. ;? hi en wrecked,, it has broken every heart that has ever been. I>r.<>lu'ii and has dug every grave that hps over been dug," were among the WSsertio.^s made by the noted evange list in the course of his remarks. Lack of liberality toward the poor Mack's attention and his utterances and God's work received "Cyclone along this line were very plain. His gennon follows: " James 4 :3, "Ye ask and receive not 6e cause ye ask amiss that ye may consume it upon your lust or | pleasure." Six:'.cen years ago when I was con verted, I did not know but one verse of scripture, "If ye love me. keep my commandments." I did not know where that was found, whether in Crenisis, Revelations, or John. 1m- 1 ntediatcly after 1 accepted Christ, I bought me a little Bible, a red pen ce, a blue pencil, a brown pencil, iijfd all other colored pencils and 1 ? began to mark the verses and write j on the margins. One of the first 1 doctrines I began to study was the doctrine of prayer. I read over 'there in I IChronicles 7:14, "If my. peo- , pie, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; thcni will I hear from heaven._and will forgive their sin. and will heal their land." 1 also read where God said thru Jeremiah. 'Call of me and I will answer thee , and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not." I read where David said, "Delight thy- j self also in the Lord and he shall ? pive thee the desires of thy heart." i And one of the lirst things that Jesus said when he left heaven and . came to earth was, "Ask and ye (Continued on editorial page) NOTICE 'OF PROPOSED BOND ISSUE Extracts from Minutes pf Board of Commissioners.

AGENT BUSY ON MARKET PR0GM4 (By L. A. AMMOK) For years the farmers of this county have had to go into the woods, and cut and liew or split out so many cords or number of pieces of wood in order to make spare money with which to pny taxes and buy the bare needs of life. \"o one offered to buy other prod ucts any and every day. Only Sat jrday three men came to mo won loring where and when they might :dl a few chickens, and others vanting to sell potatoes before they i of in the ground. This situation is to Hid if all will do their part in making the $12,000 in stock offered by the company making the offer lo put in a store and creamery. A -tart has been made, and our bank ers were the first to put their names ">ii the dotted line. Putting your name there will help give you the market needed all these years, and it wHl be anxious to buy what you have and the more you have to sell the more money you will have and the more the store will make per year. It is a mutual undertaking, anil you have never had such a pro position made you before. Just think what a difference, you are coming to town, load on a few potatoes, cabbage, onions, turnips, [?arrots, beans, a fat dressed hog. a eoop of chickens or a basket of eggs, take it to the store and get your money, and then buy your needed things and save a few cents for that bank account. Looks like a four rear dream of mine coming true, and it is up to all to do their part. While working on this marketing project, I am not making plans for nr. attempting to do much eNe till it is over or ended. It. will i.urt in places, but the good for the future will be plenty to repay. After this week, the family will be at home and the old telephone will bo of use, so let her ring.
