Farnu-rs of the nation are looking tn life ri a more cheerful manner since cnUni has gone above 20 tents , and tobacco selling at good prices, while ii is expected' that the present corn crop will bring an un usually good price. Already the ten sion has been relieved and condi tions are rapidly improving. Busi ness is better in all lines, and it is predicted that the Fall and Winter will witness a great revival in build ing activity. This community, while no cotton L? grown in this section, is . now feeling the tine effects of advanced prices 'of cotton, in the larger num bers ot people from the cotton belt coming to these great mountains for their vacations. One cotton planter remarked to this Writer that there are several hundred people in these mountains now who would not have come had it noy been for the recent advance in cotton. Transylvania county is growing a great corn crop, and this will add much to the wealth of the farmers of this section because of the good prices this corn is certain to bring. GARAGES COST MORE THAN SCHOOL BUILDINGS. According to statistics made pub lic by, the United State government, America has spent much more money iu the crection of garages and fill ing stations during the past six years than has been spent in the i-;ec.uin of school buildings. While we, as a people, have criticised school officials for the great amount spent tor school buildings, we plodded right along, spending twice as much in erection of garages and filling sta tions with never a whimper over this larger expenditure. The same report shows that we are spending about three times as much for theatres and amusement buildings thr.n is spent in the erec tion of churches. This portion of It.e report will be used to advantage by ministers and church leaders in meeting tha criticism of those who aver we are spending too much money on new church buildings. One can make whatever capital they so desire out of the govern- 1 ment's report. But this much must be admitted ? the cost of pleasure is ... . i w..hou; urmur, while ev-' try <&>thir goin^ into school or' church bears the .. .irk of some man who cries at the mat. GENE ALLISON WiLL BE MISSED. Gene Allison, I'armer, teacher, aivi Masonic leader, iias left Brevard, temporarily, to teach school at Rutherforaton. While Brevard wishes fin- Mr. AllUvn a!! the pleasures that can bt 'lis in h:s new home, this city, nevertheless, regrets his going. Gene Allison is a regular prince and his presence in any community is a .1 ? asset. Transylvania citizens have spoken in Highest terms of the Asheville Cit izen, which carried about six col umns of Transylvania news in its of last Sunday. All the camps were given special mention, while the industrial and agricultural ad vantages were treated' in masterly manner Mr. McCoy, staff corres pondent of the Citizen, spent most of last week in the county and i.i be delighted with the ac complishments and the possibilities <if Jr.* M'i'tion. t>'. rm.M dispatches slate that al'. porta! -ate-i are, effective August 1st, lifty per cent higher than before ih.it dale. It is sucn a pity that those folks have tn hear the folly of the i* KiiiJi'r, wnile lit- is living in com fort ttnrl luxury. The rit.y of Pour.d. Va., probably hu.- the oldest living Deputy 'Sheriff. The gentleman is "Devil" John Wright. Records show that he is St> years of age, and that he has an .-nviable record for bravery. It Is' also said that he inspired one of the 1 leading characters in the novel by! John Fox, Jr.. "The Trail of the ?w.i s*?*n# Pi/ i'." A PERSONAL WORD FOR MR. HOGOBOOM. Mr. Homer \V. llogoboom is liow with Tln> Brevard News, taking the place of Mr. Frank Starrette who | left recently for Kuthcrfordton. Mr, llogoboom is one of the best] printers in the country. ? When I was foreman of The Ashoville Citi- J zen, fie v.'iis assistant foreman, and . j when 1 left that position to begin] the publicaion of The Asheville Ad- ! vocate, Mr. llogoboom succeeded me as for 'enian of Tlio Citizen. Later | he' came with me on The Advocate, j where he has been employed ever since, resigning from that place to come to me here. . i ?Mr. llogoboom is not only a good printer ? he is also a good citizen, a true friend and a courteous gentle-.' man. 1 am glad to have him her<i with me on The News. James F. Barrett. ?YE WIRES HITS T.'E EDITOR ONE. '1'hc Brevard News has often re- ! quested its readers and patrons to o.ivr whatever constructive criticism they might desire, so it is in a spirit of appreciation that we ac knowledge the soft impeachment of iiob Garrett, who strikes, through "Live Wires," at the editor of The t News because of his seeming grouch- ' iness during the first of each week. The News is sorry indeed if it has gained a reputation of being grouchy on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednes- ? days. Those are our busy days, and nothing must be permitted to inter- j fere with the publication of The Brevard News, all of which must be done during the first three days of j each week. The editor of The News hasn't a very attractive face at his best, and there is a possibil ity that when he is harassed by gathering news, writing editorials, soliciting ads, estimating jobs, and trying to get paper out of the depot with which a sight draft accompanies a bill of lading, his old face may as sume the appearance of a grouch, but we would like our friends to know that we are not grouchy, that the harder they work for us the better we like .it, and some sweet day we hope to be able to wear the smile during the first of the week which our friends say is so becoming to us during the latter part of it. DOUG'S NINES ? FAILED TO FALL. Sometimes things go wrong on the keyboard of a Linotype machine, just as things go w: ong at times on most everything. Well, Doug was pounding away last week on a letter signed by "J. F.. S.," in which the writer was telling about a visit the Brevard Ku Klux Klan paid to Rev. Osteen at Pleasant Grove church. The writer of the communication stated the minister asked his con gregation if its members approved of his acceptance of a gift from the Klan, and that "DO per cent 'ap proved." Doug's Linotype left off one of the nines, which left the im pression that only nine per cent ap proved of the minister accepting the donation. This correction is cheerfully made, and Doug is tremendously sorry that his old Merg caused him to make such a mistake. MANY ILLITERATES IN NORTH CAROLINA N?rth Carolina has 241, GOO people over ten years of age who cannot r: ad a word nor write their names. This is i3 per cent r.f the state's tvnole population of 10 years old and ?')v>r. 1 hese facts are given out by the Vuersity New.- Letter, which i.i an accepted authority. These illiterates are distributed as follows: Native white of native parentage, 104.C37; native white of foreign t'lrentage. 171: foreign horn white, ?174; negro, 133,674. There wen only 190 white people in the state unable to speak English. Of all native white people ten years of age and over, continue" iiie article, over 8.2 per cent were Hit. rates. Only two states. New :.ico and Louisiana, had a higher per cent of native white illiterates ? n years of age and over. Only one - ute, Kentucky, had a larger total number of native white illiterates. Only six states had a larger total number of illiterates, both races con sidered. than North Carolina. Their excessive illiterate negro population i xphui..- why four of these states , .?ih'-ad of North Carolina. Tne above facts, according to the | article, concern the sheer illiterates, who provide a far greater problem is; J North Carolina.

Gradual improvement In caring foi the big metropolitan tracks near New York and Chicago, as well as others in various sections of tho country. Is responsible for the change. Landscape gardeners nave wrestled I with tho problem for years, not foi the benefit of helping the "students ol form" but for purely aesthetic reasons Dustless race tracks. It was agreed, would add greatly to the comfort ol the spectators for the best race finish ia the world holds no thrills If only the judges can see it. Today chemicals are freely used In keeping the dust from rising. Chem ts had to tind something that would not injure the horses' hoofs aud at the same time permit thoroughbreds to use their maximum speed. Calcium chloride, a chemical that absorbs many times it j own weight of water, has been useJ for sonic years on the smaller tracks at count) and str.te fairs and now Is coining Into wider employment on the larger tracks. THIS AUTO PICKS UP ITS OWN ROAD DUST English Idea Not Needed in This Country, However, Experts Say. A MANCHESTER, England, en gineer 15 years ago patented an apparatus to be used on au tomobiles wliicb would collect Its own dust. As described by Church Ilowe, then j American Consul at Manchester, the j levice drew the dust into funnel- , shaped conduits which ran from the I rear of the front wheels to the rear of the back wheels. The dust was blown Into a central ; box, either by air pressure of the moving automobiles or by a centrifu gal fan geared to the driving shaft of the car. Such an apparatus would have little success In America tod:i.\ highway I engineers point out. Recent improve ments in ?oad construction have elim inated <.he dust probii in almost to the minimum In some sections aud even old dirt roads may be modernized !"y applications of calcium chloride. BACKYARDS GIVE JOY TO CHILDREN j TUit.N your backyard Into a chll I dren's playground! That is an idea growing rap idly in various sections of the United States and Canada. One of tho first to do that wat (leorge W. Perry, Director of Park:' and Playgrounds, of Orange, N. J.. .vhu one year ago established a recrea t:on center in the rear of his property So pleased was he with the success ? >f the idea that he told others of it and today a well established orgauiza lion, called the Backyard Playground Association of America, is functioning with headquarters in New York Cit> In hot weather the most pcpulai p.'irt of the equipment Is a garden hose which serves as a shower bath for the children. Those playgrounds have been salv ased froip dismal areas of tin cans and other rubbish. The janitor has> been enlisted as grouudkeeper and di rector of activities, and when ho is >f tho alert type, he has worked to make the ground quite In keeping with the more ambitious recreation centers rolling tho earth or pounding It down firmly and spreading a thin layer ot caicluaj chloride to keep dqwn the dust. In tho congested districts of the Inrger cities, particularly in New Tork. the idea has caught on, the play ground experts declare. THE PRAYER CORNER REJUVENESCENCE How ru I! mail bo burn whi'ii he is old? . A writer, . whom I adniiiv. says, r"The language of Nivodcuius is ih>1 personal, but sy in pathetic ; he is not thinking of himself, l>iit ?>f others. ' ( hri ; tell him, however, that there is Uo it)ie limit tor the second .birth ? f a soul. "T.htf wind bloweth whol e it listeth, so is every one that is born tit' the Spirit." > "ilii' Spirit has liberty at every <.nre: i-ijitally with the Ileitis of -..it.. The flesh lias a limit of years a limit beyond which it can renew itself no more. Hut the Spirit run break into morning at midnight, into .luno in January, into foliage in the frost of winter." ?' fhe lark in the soul may sing in the evening. The dawn in the heart may i utile at the closing. The ? v of life may wait for the setting. TV. spirit of a man may be raised even at the last day. That is what Jesus meant; and it is true. He speak of the burdens of age; and it has burdens. Hut, say as you will, there are burdens which age removes ? and these the heaviest ones." "Care ? presses most upon the morning, just because it is the morn ling. I am more troubled by shad nvs in hopes than by the shadows j in memory. Earth is uncertain in I my early hours, and uncertainty is tr favorable to song. But in life s I evening 1 can sing. 1 have 110 lortg I e- to provide for myself. Personal outlook is ended, what remains is | f' i' God to do ? not for me, it si 'ins the true time for being young ? the careless time, the free time, the spiritually unweighted time." Xo wonder Jacob carolled then ! with the first song of his life; no | w nder he swept, in age, the harp s- rings that in youth were silent. H ? had no longer to provide for his [youth by a stair, for his pillow by a i stone, for his daybreak by wrestling i of. the soul. The wings of the spirit came when the. wings of the morning had rest. A PRATER FOR RENEWAL OF YOUTH ! Lord. give us the spirit of youth. ' Forbid 1 hat in our old age men 'should say: ''They belong to a for mer generation." We want to be jlong to the newest generation. We I want our spirit to light their torch, not at yesterdays, but at tomorrows i :-';y. We. want to be numbered with 'the race that is coming in, rather ' '' :in . with the race that is going out. We can be so numbered, our spir its can be born again when we are old. V.'e r fuse to .-ubesribe to that , moral of the fleecing years. "We all do fade as a leaf." Not as a leaf would we fade, but as a dawn. We would lose ourselves, only in larger ' light. We would fade in ft fill! or ! rauiance. We would merge in a . mi'thtier stream. If our tapers ex 1 ~8?? l"t them be in tints of gold. | Kir. lit- lis again at the fire of the new generation. Let our hearts catch the glow of the coming sun. However old our flesh may be, let our sympathies be young. Write our names among the early sons of this century. Interest us in their prob lems: inspire us with their aims: in I (lame us with their larger view. I "Give us fellowship with the love ef J ("ana. let not romance be wasted by lif"':; afternoon! Give us sympathy with the hour of first temptation; l juiind us of life's primitive hunger. Give us tenderness for youth's as piring; let us stand on its mount of beatitudes, and see its coming king Mom! Give us kindliness even to |'-ariy presumption; let us forgive James and John for underrating the ?'??pth of the cup! The climax of Thy leading is to make us young when we are old. And this we ask for Jesus' sake, Amen. ? C. D. C. The stranger in our fair land is entitled to be told that "Rink Go" is the headline writer's shorthand for hockey contest. A philadelphia store has a bell which can be heard 30 miles. This beats Mr. Coolidge's record by 30 miles. Doubtless "the nicest thing about Bucharest, from a middle-aged ????en's viewpoint, is the last sylla ble.
