SUNDAY BASEBALL AND
OTHER THINGS.
Th<> West Asheville News happened
to soi* a crowd of Brevard boys play
ing ball on the vacant lot down ha
lo* Kind's Creek Sunday a week ago,
and moralizes as follows
"last "Sunday afternoon Old Sol
spoke to the tune of 80 in the shade.
Aaal out the wife and kids for a lit

on the highway. As usual, the negro

within the corporate limits of Mayoi
? ai \V iiiunire s town was a regulai
Sunday game of baseball. The fielc
was full of kids, many of whom wer
in the grown-up class. 'Whit must
have been taking his afternoon nap
for not that kind of a mayor.
aiv not- making any attempt
wliji vvcr to justify Sunday basebal
b it vv do most emphatically object
to harsh eriticism of our boys.foi
knocking a baseball around on Sun
day when nary a word is said aboui
all the other forms of amusemen
going on all al>out. The editor of th<
West AsheVille News savs in the ven
beginning of his jibe at us that h<
was taking his family for a Sunday
afternoon -ride. Who knows the de
jrroi's ,;..f wrong as catalogued by Sun

WHAT ABOUT THE BOYS
W;!0 ARE LOAFING?
at Asheville the police depart
>?it r.: i.- after men who are not work
:r,. -r|u. order has gone forth to
: a job or go to'jail." The police
m Went dowa>to West Lhd, wher<
poor folks live, and made arrests
ulai-ii".. some several idle men ii
V|is.in. Wonder why the departmen
failed to get some of the bunch tha
hanus out on Patton avenue, betweei
th, Square : r.tl the j-ostoffi.ee. Ther<
at.' iv. en hanging out - there wh<
havi-v.'t worked in their Uv.es.
Maybe it is 0. K. with that bunch
th. ir mothers or sisters ar<
working. and ke*ep this bunch dresset
up with nothing to do. Funny
though, how the law always hits th<
poor devil on the edu'e of town, ati(
leaves untouched those fellows wh<
dress up a bit and assume an air o:
importance.
?'Get a job or go to jail," will nevci
apply to certain folks, regardless o
how long these favorite sons ma^
loaf about town.
ERROR IN BREVARD NEWS
COURT STORY LAST WEEK.
Much confusion was caused thi:
week on account of an error in las*
week's Brevard News. The papei
stated that court would convene or
Thursday, April 4. Although th<
headline stated that court would be
gin on Monday, the article gav<
Thursday as the opening day.
The mistake was caused by con
fusion in the mind of the writer oi
the article who had just read prooi
on the court calendar of civil cases
which gave Thursday, the fourth, a?
the first day on which civil cases
were to ik- heard.
The Wvvs regrets the error ex
ceedingly. and offers abject apology
to those of its readers who were in
convenienced because of the error.
In the future we shall be more care
ful in checking dates in such import
ant articles as those dealing with the
courts.
_ The man who has poultry to sell
is the man who is getting the money.
With the B. & B. buying poultry
every day in the week, and the Farm
ers' Federation car coming here ev
ery month, there's plenty of cash for
all the chickens in the county. Let's
raise more chickens.
"Play Ball!" Hot dog? doesn't
that call sound good to von?
NO EXTENSION OF TIME
IN PAYING TOWN TAXES.
Town Tax Collector Harry H. Pat
ton is sending notices to the citizens
of Brevard, giving the information
that all town taxes must be paid on
or before the first of May, and that
property on whicih taxes have not
been paid before that date will be
advertised in May. The recent legis
lature secured the enactment of a
law which authorizes the county com
missioners, if they so desire, to ex
itend the time for payment of state
' ?nd county taxes until August first.
! This law has nothing whatever to do
,vith town taxes, however, and the
town is expecting payment of its
! v.xes during this month.
' We have not been engaged by the
i ,'ity to boost payment of town taxes
'at all, but we do happen to know
something of the town's financial
I condition, and Brevard needs its tax
money and needs it now. Brevard, as
i town, belongs to the people of the
town, and, after all, it is every citi
zen's business to take an interest in
the town's financial affairs. These
. I taxes must be paid at some time, and
|The Brevard News would urge upon
''the tax payers to make immediate
' payment of their town taxes.
. It is safe to say that practically
| all the town taxes will be paid before
- 1 1 he final date, because property
; l ??wners do not want their property
[ | advertised for taxes. This means that
; ! if all the people postpone payment
* ; until the very last moment, much in
' , onvenionc\> will be caused to the
tax payers themselves, and much hard
J *ork placed upon the town officials
l in trying to accommodate the citizens
' in the last hours of the time limit.
f j Then, too, there are payments to
be made during the first days of
vpril, and unless some taxes are col
lected with which to meet these ob
ligations, the town will have to bor
' ! row money, and that means more ex
? pense to the town government ? and
' the tax payers are the ones who foot
the bill.
! Let's all look at this thing in its
proper light, and begin right now to
make payments on our town taxes.
There's nothing at all to be gained in
s delaying the matter to the very last
f moment. On the other hand, there
' | is much to be lost by such tardiness
1 and neglect, and great inconvenience
1 will be suffered by the tax payers
' themselves in putting off payment of
3 town taxes until the last of the
f month..

GO TO IT, CRAIGM'.LES,
YOU KNOW HOW TO CUSS.
j Our good friend, J. B. Craigmiles
I -.'ditor of The Mitchcd Corr.ty Bail
, ner goes pi l-n , r-:/.y ?.?very on :e in
~!a while. Last year he had a crazy
: |. spell, and ma,de the race for the legis
" j lature in Mitchell, and, worse luck to
' 1 him, was elected. J. B. ought to know
'j by this time that a country editor
1 catches enought H ? in the newspa
^ per game, without going and getting
t elected to the legislature and get
1 ? ting more gobs of it.
Now somebody over in that out
landish section about Bakersville has
been making some unkind and cutting
remarks about Editor Craigmiles.
1 But that somebody got it handed
back to him in the last issue of Mr,
Craigmiles' paper. Here's what the
j Bakersville editor said:
"There is a good deal of 'mouthing'
about town about what we done while
' in Raleigh and what we didn't do.
We want to say that if you have any
r thing to say don't say it to the other
P fellow, but come to our office like
men and say it to us, and either cuss
it out with us or quit so much in
fernal back-biting, and criticism.
You fellows that are doing this are
no saints by any means. We know
you all, and you had better attend
to your own business and clean your
5 own house, before taking us up or
t any one else for the chief topic of
r conversation. We never knew a one
j horse town that didn't have a bunch
of hair grained back-biters that have
5 nothing else to do but try to attend
- to the other fellow's business. This
is plain English, and can be under
stood by the biggest bone head m
town. We'll attend to our business.
YOU attend to yours."
j We'd rather have an eye tooth
!j pulled than to cut any one's name off
'I the subscription list But it is ab
solutely necessary that we have the
small amount due us from each of
our subscribers. One subscriber who
owed us $6 ? being three years be
hind ? paid one dollar, and we ap
preciated it. Another, who owed us
$4, paid fifty cents That's all he felt
he could do now. But that is the
spirit. These men were not shirking.
They did their best and it helped.
What about YOU?
? ?
If a nigger is caught gambling
with dice, he is given either, a heavy
fine or a stiff sentence in the chain
gang . A white man can gamble on
Wall Street, make a fortune over
night, give some college *or church a
million dollars, and be called blessed
the rest of his days. But such is life
^n a highly civilized country.
WHAT IS THE MATTER
WITH THE FARMERS?
The unusually fine start that had|
been made by the Farmers' Brother
hood lost much of its strength last
Saturday night, when only a small
crowd gathered at the court house
for the purpose of studying ques
tions that must have a direct bearing
upon every farmer in the county.
Surely the farmers agreed that each
of them can be benefitted, and can
benefit others, by studying these
problems together. Every other busi
ness in the country have " their or
ganizations, and the nun in the same
line of work band themselves to
! ;? >ther for mutual benefit. Bankers,
; merchants, life insurance men, build
ers, railroad operators, mill owners,
-iid all other groups having a com
mon interest, have their group or
ganizations and through these each
individual member is materially help
ed with his problems.
It is believed by the farmers that
they can get along better alone, each
farmer going his own way. If this
be true, then we have failed to learn
the full meaning of the word "co
iperation."
If the farmers of the county, by
laving an organization, can buy
their fertilizers at cost, purchase
their stock at wholesale prices, and
can build up a good cash market for
their produce through that organiza
tion, and fail to do it, then they must
plead guilty to a negligence that is,
to say the least, very expensive to
them.
Of course, the farmers may have
their own reasons for being opposed
^o any plan of co-operation with one
i another. It may be that these reasons
justify their action. If so, then we
have no more to say about the mat
ter. All we have to say further just
now is that if more farmers do not
take an interest in the Farmers'
Brotherhood, the few who are devot
ing their time and ability to the or
ganization would do well to drop the
whole thing.
TOWN ELECTION THE
ITEM OF INTEREST.
Now that the legislature has ad
journed,. Easter come and gone, gar
I dens planted and the fish beginning
to bite, the way is paved for the next
event of interest. Within a few
weeks the town will hold its regular
election of mayor and board of alder
J men. It is expected that announce
jments for the various offices will be
j forthcoming at an early date.
Let's organize an organization tc
stop any further organization of any
kind of an organization that may b?
mentioned by any one wanting any
further organization in this over
organized town. Half the men in
Brevard do not know the names of
all the organizations to which they
belong now, nor the meeting dates,
nor the purposes of them, nor why
they joined in the first place.

If you have something to sell, put
a 25-cent advertisement in the class

Many, many articles have been sold
through this inexpensive method. If
you want to buy any particular thing,
tell the folks what you want. Some
one in the county will have the very
thing you are after.

Have you done your part in help
ing the good women raise the funds
with which to fix up the playgrounds
for the little children in the Brevr.rd

make the thing a success.

THE PRAYER CORNER
1
EASTER JOY.
A legend has come down the cen
turies that when Jesus rose from
the grave on Easter morning, and
walked out into Joseph's garden,
wherever His foot pressed the earth! I
white lilies rose in fragrant beauty. 1
The legend symbolizes a great
truth, for wherever Jesus has gone
on earth joy and hope have sprung
up in human hearts, gladness has
supplanted sorrow and life has risen
out of death. Not resignation but
exultation is the Christian attitude
towards those who have been called
from us during the year just gone.
'They are before the throne of God,
and serve Him day and night in His
temple," "For they follow Him who
vanquished death upon the Cross.", j
Our hope as Christians is a lively I
hope, not a dead hope; not a lan- i |
guid and languishing ho jig,; but ar
living, vital, active principle. Its au? ;
thor is God; its source is mercy; its 1
medium is through the Resurrection
of Chirst. It is undefiled; it is not
tainted by sin; all its enjoyments
are right and good and holy, it fad
ethh not away.
It is reserved in heaven for all
believers. It is prepared or "laid up" !
there, beyond reach of enemies for1
you and me.
''Thank God or the dear ones safe
today,
Safe at home on the happy shore,
Where the smile of the Father
beams for aye, t
And the shadow of pain shall fall i
no more.
Thank God for the hearts that have
done with sin,
For the eyes that shall never be
blind with tears,
Thank God for the beautiful, enter
ed in
To the perfect rest of the deathless
years.
Thank God today for the pilgrim
feet
Which have trodden the last of the
toilsome way,
For the strong, for the frail, for the
babes so sweet,
Who have left forever this crumb
ling clay;
Who have changed earth's trial and
loss and moan,
For the victor's palm and the voice
of praise,
Who dwell in the light of the Great
White Throne,
And join in the songs which the ran
somed 'raise*.
Thank God today for the hope su
I blime
! Which fills our souls in the darkest
hours;
Thank God that the transient cares
of time
Are wreathed in the glory of fadeless
flowers ;
rhank God for the rift in the deao
) late grave. i
Tis the soldiers couch, not the cap
tive's prison; 1
le hallowed its portal who died to
save,
Vnd we write over its arch, "The
Lord is Risen."
A PRAYER FOR EASTER JOY.
Shall some new vision of the Chist
)e ours today, 0 out Father, or shall
ve still go to the tomb only to find
tfis grave clothes? If so, let us see
-he angel who shall tell us: "He is
lot here, He is risen."
We shall not have far to seek,
mly grant we may not wait beside
Sim with eyes holden, or with hearts
-hat fail to burn as He speaks, and
et us be quite sure He will appear
is to those of old, in human form
and be found in the familiar path
ways.
O let us know His presence now,
sven as we pray, and let us go hence
strengthened as by Him ? conscious
that an Easter day is ours whenever
our souls arise to do His bidding
to minister in His name, to follow
in His footsteps, to commune with
Him, whether it be in the crowded
place of worship, or in the silenoe
of our own hearts.
We would remember before Thee
at this glad time those who mourn,
who sete no light, no hope, and re
fuse to be comforted. God of Conso
lation, visit such, give the oil of joy
for mourning, and the garment of
praise for the spirit of heaviness.
Put the Christ Child into the moth
er's empty arms, put the Chrst spir
it into us all, and bid us sec that
sorrow has a ministry as divine as
that of joy, so that while we may
be in Gethsemane we shall know
even as did He, that Thine own an
gels are near to comfort and sus
tain and cheer.
Nor shall we forget those who
grieve for sorer loss than the closed
grave ietver knows, those who sjee
their loved ones in the toils that are
worse than death, more cruel than
the tomb. 0, Father, stretch out
Thine hand and save such, and give
them back, restored to the hearts
that yearn over them.
Let the day bring beauty and
gladness to human souls, and a
closer communion with the Risen
Lord, wherever His followers call
upon Thee at this time, may thej
have the vision that fadeth no1
away, the renewal of the hope thai
we believe is at last to be fulfilled
to Thy children. And all we ask ir
Thy name, Amen.
