Only a few years ago the people of \m erica became highly excited, and editors of newspapers wrote gobs of stuff about "law and order, when a buneh of union workers on strike would throw a few bncks or rotten eggs at the strikebreakers. A! pistol shot during: the progress of a . .strike called for streamer headlines, on the front pages of our daily news-. ?-i< and irate citizens throughout, tic country declared that "law and j tr" must be maintained. j Today the American people read, o. "gang wars" in Chicago, New ^ -ik and other, large cities, where from one to a dozen men are shot, dew n in cold blood by rival gangs, in hatthte involving no principle and no pu?- *'? except that of determining whiiv **ng shall have the greater^ pcxvt i" in such cities. . i When these gangsters are buried, KT,at crowds attend the funerals; ( the bodies are laid away in costly, caskets; the highest officials of state ,, ami city government attend the fun-, erals <>r send representatives. , It is a long ways we have traveled from the righteous indignation when, a :/V^n<r workman threw a rotten eg., at ' the man who was trying to t..\. \it> ji>b. to that when wholesale murder is committed on main struts of our largest cities, and but i;t f. attention given the matter. You -av think it is none of our bus .. .hat takes place in Chicago or, in New York. Right there is where you are wrong. Things that happen in tii*.- largest cities of America to dav, become the custom in the small er places of the country on the mor-, row. If gangs continue to rule the _ larger cities, a blind man can see j the near approach of the day when ( gangs will rule our smaller cities ami towns. . BRITISH COAL MINERS and OUR OWN BOYS. Manv newspapers told about e. recent "visit of the Prince of Wales; to the coal mining districts of Brit-, ui.L. Where the prince found so much suffering and want. Some n?w?" ( papers -t-v -rely criticised Great Brit-, ain ,'?????? the way the nation's miners a? t routed. It is sad. of course, and there is much suffering among the miners of England. . Cut "hat about our own coal; mini'ts right here in America ?Y; ;as luen. and is at present;. untold suffering among the miners of the. United States. Of course,, -there is" not the actual want forj food and shelter as that existing m England, but pur mi. rs suffer from at.oii., - evil to an extent little known outside their o>vn circle. We're thinking of the practice o th.' coal mine owners maintaining, ?their own police forces, and of the brutal treatment accorded the min er- these "officers," who are not officers of the law except that law of the mine owners. Only recently a miner who had been working for. thirty years, and was looked upon as a good miner and a good man, ?wa^ literally and actually stampe ^ t(J \ . hy the "company officers. Only' one daily newspaper, as far as W have been able to learn, said a thing about this hateful and brutal crime. . . The mining regions of America j an- ho?!>vy-combed with thugs, acting, as vomparty officers," who perform their "duties"; with a brutality that would cause amazement in Chirstian America were the facts really known. jf -v, American newspapers could become is deeply interested in the conditions surrounding their own miners as they are in the awful plight oi the British miner, the ^ cause of Christianity and righteous-, ness would be given great service.

All Christians and all patriotic would forget the great conflict that raged for four years between the Mortk and. the -South.... Yet there is little likelihood of such ideal conditions so long as a certain class of fools live in t e North. All the good work, done by ihe tens of thousands of real pat riots in the North who have made efforts to wipe out all sectional prej udice, is nullified by the writings and ,-antings of the few fools who write ?bout the "ignorance of the South, and the "awful conditions of the poor mountain whites in the South. Nothing makes a Southern man or ?voman want to fight as quickly as oes this kind of rot written by New Workers and others in that section. The latest insult to the South was in The New York Sunday News, of Februaljr 10th, I written by a literary ov the name of Jack Kenny. 0 I lowing is the way this Kenny started '-.is article: "Sixty Members of two Mon grel American f amili<*, BAOK; WARD AS THE HILLBILLIES OF THE SOUTH, live only 100 miles from New York City. The caps are ours, to show the omparison being made between the two mongrel American families aid the Hill-billies of the South. Kenny goes on in his story to tell ,itw these two New York families v> in ignorance, marrying and in termarrying, with no intelligence;, whatever.- Ha tells how one sold his vife for a dime and pocket-knife; 10w the children run and hide when ( ihey see a stranger; how fathers ( marry their daughters, and uncles ?nd nieces mate, and says further ( hat those psople are not "immoral, at unmoral. In their isolation," he ; .avs, "they haven't an idea of the ? .neaning of morality. Nor do they know the meaning of the word, lenny adds. | And it is this kind of people that .Lenny says are like the "Hill-billies the South!" Kenny says in effect, that thu mountain people of the South, "Hill billies," he calls them, are ignorant, unmoral, and do not know the mean nig of the word moral. It is such fool writers as Kenny that keep the flame of sectional hat- , red fanned, and causes the South to hate New York as it does. If Kenny could come South, into ihesc mountains, and attend just oiu singing convention, and hear the sweet songs of love and loyalty, ^ of home and Heaven, of Jesus and joy, and witness the manifestation of not only real morality, but of that greater thing ? real religion? his pigmy mind would so expand t at 1 would all but burst his cimblm head and knock his Eastside derby to the top of See-Of mountain. If there is a place in America where morality retains its majestic power, it is in the mountains of the South. We're sorry that New xork state has such people as uzscnoec by Kenny, but if he would remove that stigma from his state, lee him do it without insulting the v.icuntain people of the South. We have no such people here, thank Gou, and we'd thank the New York writers to stop slandering the. South, and the sooner they stop it, the sooner we of the South will learn that "Damyankee" is two words. CAMP DIRECTOR PRASES TRANSYLVANIA HOSPITAL Fditor The Brevard New:-': I have seen quite a little about the Transylvania Hospital in your paper I recently and as the Director of Camp Carolina I want to express my ap preciation of this splendid institu tion. I believe I voice the senti ment of all of the camp directors when I say that no institution in vour city means so much to the camps. The responsibility for the health and wellbeing of a lar^e "-roup of boys or girls is a heavy one on the directors and the proximity of a Well equipped hospital ."uch as you have does much to lighten u. Aside from the personal satisfac tion which it gives us as directors it has great weight with parents in making decisions as to where place their boys for the summc.. Most parents who contemplate send ine their children to camp mquir: very definitely of the directors as to the facilities for caring for then children in case, of sickness or acci dent and the splendid f acihti?s of fered by this hospital do much to | draw boys and girls, and hence then parents, to Brevard. The Transylvania Hospital has done no little in the past towards making Brevard the camping center 3f the South and it is entitled to the support of every loyal citizen ox Transylvania county. It is the one Institution around which everyone Sn and should rally regardless of politics or creed. D MEADE BERNARD, Director of Camp Carolina. Jacksonville, Fla.

"What "doctors "and surgeons have you, and have you any kind of a hospial?" Our reply to that is "There is not ANY KIND of a hospital but the very best kind of a hospital" ? delightfully situated, fully equipped with modern applian ces, electric, surgical, and scientific; excellent nurses and all under the very best management. From" personal experience1 I give this testimony. I feel I am prepared to contrast this hospital with similar institutions in a large ciy of three hundred thousand inhabitants. Sometimes "blessings brighten as they take their flight." If at any time we should lose so valuable an asset to Brevard, it would be too | late to deplore our loss. It is ours now; we are proud of it. Let us be loyal and uphold it. i MRS. JOHN F. HENRY. ' Louisville, Ky., Jan. 19, 1929. j HOSPITAL GOOD FOR ALL PEOPLE Editor The Brevard News: I read with a great deal of inter- J est the article in last week's paper relative to the Hospital. I can hardly see how we could get along at all without the hospital. It is un der splendid management and means a lot to our town and county. The wealthy man referred to in your last week's paper, who can go to Johns Hopkins or some other hospital, might not have time to go by auto mobile or train should he have a serious accident, so for an emerg ency it is just as essential for the rich man as a man of moderate ' means to have the hospital located i here. I was talking to a recent patient in the hospital just a few days ago and he stated that he got just as good treatment in the Tran sylvania Hospital as he had received at some of the best hospitals in the ; country which I thought was a com- j .ilimenf !o Dr. and Mrs. Lynch. ' Hoping that our people will get behind the hospital movement and make it a success, I am, Sincerely yours, THOS. H. SHIPMAN. Brevard, Feb. 9, 1929. POOL ROOMS AND TAXES ? ? : . Pool rooms operated by private owners for the purpose of making prof its. have long bee^the objects of legitimate privilege J&xes in North Carolina. Brevard is one of the lOTUNW fii*riU?J>y^hovjeye.^ t&aj; ithe-laws are such that- pool rooms j may evade the privilege tax^and go ' on operating on' about the same basis as before. An dffpr^^mdj&Y to i raise the tax to a practically prohi 'bitive point, with the desire probab ly to run the pool rooms out of 1 ex istence. The operators simply took in a large number of '(stockholders." Lexjngtoh and jnany other towns and cities "have ' hoisted the pool roowprivilege taxes, only to find that neither the, object of securing more revenue nor of getting rid of pool rooms -was accomplished. The contrary ' has happened.- 'The pool rooms found a way to escape tax and annihilation both in one fell stroke. They simply secured char- : tcrs as "pleasure clubs." In Brevard they took in "stockholders" and want ahead on the pretense that those playing were "owners" of the tables and equipment. It is presumed, however, that in Brevard, as here and in many other places, the usual charge is made for playing. The "club dues" in these cases do not change the nature of the pool rooms at all. This plan does not make the pool room more desirable to the com munity. But it does save the pay ment of privilege taxes. It also gives more privacy than was general ly permitted under the old plan of operating under local privilege taxes. ? Lexington Dispatch. SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG i (NETTIE L.

God has never changed *8 way. Old time Christians used to stand Firm and true to God's coftimand. Something must be wrong today. Old time Christians used to meet All in one accord so sweet; Then the Spirit from above Came and filled their hearts with love. Something must be wrong today. Old time Christians used to shout, Letting Spiirt gladness out. Now so frail and weak are we, When we sing, or bend the knee. Something must be wrong today.
