Announcement in The Asheville
Citizen that there is to be no more
broadcasting of games in the South
Atlantic league, due to a decision
made by the baseball magnates, car
ries its own story of short-sighted
ness. Many hundreds of people liv
ing in Western North Carolina towns
have attended the baseball games in
Asheville as a direct result of inter
est that was aroused through broad- 1
casting the games over WWNC. This !
writer has been present, on several I
occasions, when the play-by-play re- j
port would be coming over the radio, j
and in the enthusiasm thus created,
groups, would be "made up" right
then to attend the game on the next
day.
Now, with no reports coming over
the radio, men remtin at their work,
or play golf in the ^ernoons, and it
is safe to say ten time* as many
Transylvania county, citizens at
tended the Asheville ^mes last year
as will attend this year. What is true
in Brevard is true of about all the
tow.i ti nt have helped to swell the
<rou-iis and thi*. gate, receipts of the
/.?ii . i;.i? club. i
- f>c :t from us to try to tell
th- and almighty powerful
baseball magnates how they ought t
to ran their basic ess, bat w? do t
know that a bonehead play hat been I
made by said all powerful bosses.
Then, too, the feeling of resent
ment aroased because of discontin
uance of this service has turned
many Asheville rooters into bitter
critics; changed a spirit of loyal sup
port into one of antagonism. It is
said by many that the sick people,
the shut-ins, the patients at Oteen
who have relatives throughout this
section, should not be robbed of the
pleasure that listening in on ball
Karnes gave them.
So taken all in all, we venture the
assertion that a costly error has been
made by the baseball chiefs.

PREACHER HARTSELL BEGINS
SEVENTH YEAR HERE.
Next Sunday Rev. Wallace H. i
Hartsell will begin hi* seventh year ,
as pant or of the Brevard Baptist
church. This mere statement of fact
would not be so impressive upon the
average man who knows Mr. Hart
sell. Fact is, people here could not
imagine Brevard without Hartsell,
so the mere statement that he is be
ginning1 his seventh year as pastor
here is merely opening a subject
that is more interesting, when once
the facts ir. connection with this
pastorate are brought to light.
A study of the records of the
Brevard Baptist church during the
period Mr. Hartsell has been pastor
discloses ar. activity of' far reaching
effect.
During this period, 306 members
hove joined the Brevard Baptist'
church ? an average of one new,
member for each Sunday. One hun- :
dred and ten people have been bap- 1
tisied. In addition to his pulpit
work, Mr. Hartscll, the records show. ]
has performed fifty marriage cere-i
monies, and conducted one hundred j
funerals.
Then, aside from these activities
within his own church, Mr. Hartsell
has preached in eighteen different
churches in this association, in some
of them preaching many sevmons.
He has held, fifteen protected meet
ings during the period in question,
and large numbers of conversions
have been made during these meet
ings. 1
The' Sunday School of the Brevard
Baptist church has an enrollment
now more than three times larger
than it was at the beginning of Mr.
Hartsell's work here. The church
property has been enlarged to a
great extent. The church has paid
lout, for the advancement of the
'church work here and in foreign
fields, a little more than $55,000 in
money during this period of Dr.
Hartsell's pastorate.
These facts and figures are given
for the benefit of those who feel
'that work is at a standstill in the
'churches today. All agree that much
'more could be done than is being
idone, if church members were as
j really interested in church work as
J they are in other lines of endeavor,
i Yet the fact that the Baptist church,
| right here in Brevard, has made the
'wonderful progress evidenced by
j these facts and figures is sufficient
to give courage to those who are in
terested in church work.
j Rev. Mr. Hartsell's record here is
jone of great actiyity, in the minis
I terial field. And he has not con
I fined his efforts to the church alone.
In addition to all this work as pas
tor, the 'Man Hartsell" ' has been
busy. He is an active member of
the Kiwanis club, and leads the
singing, and much of the thought, in
that organization where his presence
has been a real help to all the mem-|
bers. He is active in fraternal or- j
ganizations, and wherever he attends
one of these meetings his influence
for good is felt. He has done much
work as a member of the Associated
Charities, carrying food to the
hungry, clothing to the needy, fuel
to the freezing.
Here's hoping for continued suc
cess for Wallace H. Hartsell ?
preacher, pastor, man and friend.
NEVER SUCH TROUT SEEN
ANYWHERE ELSE.
This season is the best trout
season the world has ever known.
Great, fine Rainbow fellows, the
prettiest fish in all the world, are
bein? caught every day. A 15-inch
Rainbow has ceased to cause any
comment here. And there are many
of them, judging from the ease with i
which sportsmen gather the beauti- ;
ful tribe into thein baskets. ,
Visitors come for a day, and stay ;
a week. They cannot break away '
while the fishing is so good. Citizens '
of the county are having the time of }
their livo6, that is, the citizens?who i
delight in trout fishing. It is worth !
many year's hard times and hard
ship to be permitted to spend just a
short while in this section now, and
know the exquisite joy of casting a ?
ily into the mountain stream, feel j
lie sudden tug of the livliert fish
hat swims, see the beauty of the i
glistening rainbow as one brings him '
nto the sunlight.
It is expected many hundreds of
nun and women will come here with
n the next few weeks for no other
jurpoae than that of enjoying a few ;
lays' fishing in some of the thousand
niles of trout streams in this county. '

THE COUNTY COURT
AND ITS FUTURE.
With the near approach of the day
>f opening of the new County Court,
many citizens are discussing its fu
ture and its service to the commun- <
ity. Some aver that the court can
be of but little service to the county, !
while others are emphatic that it
will be of great benefit to the citiens. '
The Brevard News cannot, of
course, tell whether or not the '
|
county court will be of benefit. We
Jo contend, however, that its opera
tion should be given a fair and im-!
partial test, and if found good fori
the county, then it will be continued, t
If it proves of no particular benefit,
we are assured that it will be discon
tinued. The court is in force and
effect until January 1, 1931, and
cannot be abandoned before that
time upon the recommendation of
the judge and county solicitor. We
?re confident these gentlemen have
the best interests of the county at
heart, and will do that thing which
will best s c-*ve the people of the
county.
So let us give the court's operation
a fair test, and if it ofters benefit to
the county, then pronounce it good.
If, however, it proves of no particu
lar value, depend upon the patriot-'
ism of the officials to so recognize
the fact and then act for the best in
terests of the pec pie.

1 am the provider of ail mankind.
Upon me every human being con
stantly depends.
A world itself is builded upon my
toil, my products, my honesty.
Because of my industry, America,
my country, leads the world. Her
prosperity is maintained by me; her
great commerce ia the work of my
good hands; her "balance of trade"
springs from the furrows of my

My reaper brings food today; my
plow holds promise for tomorrow.
In war I am absolute; in peace I
am indespensable ? my country's sur
est defense and constant reliance.
I am the very soul of America,
the hope of the race, the balance
wheel of civilization.
When I prosper men' are happy;
when I fail all the world suffers.
I live with nature, walk in the
green fields under the golden sun
light, out in the great alone where
brain and brawn and toil supply
mankind's primary needs. And 1 try
to do my humble part to carry out
the great plan of God.
Even the birds are my compan

If it were not for me the treas

A BIG FISH STORY
E. R. McCall, expert fisheman and
thoroughly versed in tlie ways and
manners of living of fish, more es- 1
pecially that of mountain trout, is
having a "barrel of fun" at the ex- 1
pense of less fortunate fishermen
who cast the hook and line along the
headwaters of Mills River.
It seems that there is an especial
ly fine trout pool in these waters,
where rainbow trout long as your,
arm grab every fly that is cast in the i
pool. But they cannot be caught.
McMcCall says these trout have
learned how to twist the fly hook j
from the line with all ease. One l
man, according to Mr. McCall, has ,
lost five dollars worth of hooks in
this one pool.
The other day Mr. McCall said hej
determined to learn more about
these trout. He could not understand
how they could live with so many
hooks in their jawbones, so he await
ed a clear day, when the waters were
crystal, and waded into" the pool. He
found a rock in the stream, and in
that rock a hole had been worn
down, cup-shape, big as your two
hands held gourd fashion. After
patient waiting, Mr. McCall found
gut what caused this worn place in
the rock, and here is what he found : I
The rainbow trout, when biting a
hook, and breaking the line, would
swim to that rock and rub his nose
against the rock until he, or she or
it, had rubbed the hook out of his
mouth. There, on the bottom of the
pool, were hundreds and hundreds of
books that these trout had broken
off the lines and then rubbed them
out of their mouths against the
rock. It was this constant rubbing
of the hooks against the rock that
nad worn the deep place into it, Mr.
McCall said.
Mr. McCall told it.

Memorial Day Spans ihe Ages of
Past and Bridges Gulf of Prejudice
(JOHN K. LACOCJC, Boston, Mas*.)
The moat unique of all American
holidays is Memorial Day. It touches
the very soul of the entire uation.
Many European countries have per
formed for years impressive rites at
the grave, suitably decorating the
paves with wreaths and 'flowers.
There has always been a certain ser
iousness and solemnity connected
with its observance. On this day, all
animosities should be forgotten. The
custom of strewing graves with flow
ers antedate history and is well nigh
universal. In the United - States,
Memorial Day was first observed in
memory of the heroes of the Civil
War. All Americans should rejoice in
the union of the States, for we are
Americans all.
Foes we were in the long years past,
Now friends in union true,
.And the tie that binds our loyal love,
Is the Red, the White and Blue.
Its scope was soon extended to in
clude those who fell in rhe Revolu
tionary War, anil later to include
those of all succeeding wavs who
sacrificed thei/ lives upon the altar
of our country. We find that a?
early as May I, 1865, three hundred
colored children with floral ofTerinKS
decorated the long rows of graves at
Charleston, S. C.
In 1867, the women of Columb.is
Miss., including widows, mothers, and
children of the Confederate dead, in
the spirit of wommly tenderness,
strewed with flowers che graces of
both Confederate and Federal sol
diers. They put aside all feeling of
animosity and expressed grief for
their loved ones at rest. "When the
war was over in the South, where un
der warmer skies and with more
poetic temperaments symbols and
emblems are better understood than
in the practical North, the widows,
mothers, and the children of the
Confederate dead, wont out and
strewed their graves with flowers; at
many places the women scattered
them impartially, also over the un
known and unmarked resting-places
of the Union soldiers. As the news
of this touching tribute flashed over

could have done, national amity and
love and allayed sectional animosity
and passion. Thus out of the sor-j

South, came this beautiful custom."
This tribute, of these Southern wo
men to the nation's dead inspired the
beautiful pcem written by Frances
Miles Finch, entitled "The Blue and
the Gray." Just who first proposed
Memorial Day in America is not
known with any degree of absolute
certainty. At different places groups
of soldiers, Grand Army Posts, and
others decorated the graves of their
dead after the close of the Civil
War. In May, 1868, General John
A. Logan, Commander-in-Chief of
the Grand Army of the Republic
conceived the idea of setting apart !
May J Oth of each year to be ob
served to commemorate the deeds of ]
the val'.ant soldier, and thus direct- '
ed the observance of Memorial Day
throughout the Union. It has now ,
become a legal holiday in all Htates,
I believe, except Arkansas, Missouri,
Montana, New Mexico, Texas, and
West Virginia. Most of the states
observe May 30th, but April 26th is
observed as Memorial Confederate
Day in Alabama, Florida, Georgia
and Mississippi; May 10th in North
and South Curolina; May 30th in
Virginia; and June 3rd in Louisiana.
Decoration Day was the earlier name
used, but it was feit that this was
inadequate and this was feliciously
ihanged to Memorial Day.
It ia interesting to r.ote since the
close of the great World War,
France on May 30th of each year,
in token of her gratitude to Ameri
ca, and a further proof of her
friendship, decorates the graves of
all American soldiers. Thousands of
children participate in these cere
monies ana deposit flowers and
wreaths or the graves. It is touching,
it is sard, to see the little war or
phans with their mothers pay this }
solemn tribute to America's dead.

ounty court. So far, we have not
leard a single word ia favor of it
rbe most ignorant can easily figure
he wage* per hour the men will re

iVe heard one z.ian say that he'd

ind come clear in this court, for we
lad judges paid to attend to the
msiness and the other courts Juu?
?o come. We doubt this fellow's
snowing anything about the posaibil
ty of getting to spend awhile round
the county home.
We cun t help but take a backward
glance and peep into some political
platforms that were adopted and
made public about a year ago. These
platforms were chuck full of pledges
to the most rijjia economy. We are
beginning to suspect that we are
mistaken as to the meaning of the
word economy We actually thought
it meant saving? and not tak;ng
away from the peopie and giving to
one. In other words, wi- think the
county commissioners have been
"straining at a gn3t and have swal
lowed a camel."
Personally, we think the twenty
four hundred would have kept both
the farm agent and home demonstra
tion and saved our forests from fire.
We hope never again to know of a
campaign being run by economy.
Well, we are not so terribly con
cerned about the county court, for
personally we do not propose to be
tried in it.
Last week we harf the finest dem
onstration of old time Southern hos
pitality. Our county officers just:
can't be beat when it comes to that.
'Way long in the dead hoars of night:
a bunch of officers came from Bre
vard and politely invited (nst over
a dozen) of our citizens (who had
been having a jolly good time), to
take a ride with them. Of course,
these fellows being good sports,
couid not well refuse. They had a
dandy ride. The officers gave them
ptrt of a day and night's lodging,
then brought them home, eaid good
bye, promised to come again soon,
went back to town and so far as we
know are there yet.
Connesstee, you shouldn't be so
"catty" about East Fork. Of course
we're only "pore farmers" and it's a
fact we have to work and it's an
other fact we are not ashamed of
it. We aimed to tell about some
nice gardens we noticed in your sec
tion, but since you might think we
ai.'e fussing, we won't tell it.
We are beginning to think Selica
is taking the big head. We reckon
it's all right since the chain gang
bunted they have so many new citi
zens. 3j
It's interesting to know that Jul
ian Glazener is to remain in Bre
vard. We were wondering if he was
going to have to follow Mr. Ammon,
leave the county because .that cream
proposition went dead. We are
mighty glad to know that a person
doesn't have to leave the county
just because he advocates a good
thing that goes busted.
