9 M BREVARD NEWS . uui.;.lird Every Wednesday By TUHE TRANSYLVANIA PUBLISHING CO., lne. S.i.terod at the Postoffice in Brtwrfi N. C., as Second Class Matter. James F. Barrett Editei Miss Alma Trowbridge, Associate Kd. SUBSCRIPTION RATES (Payable in Advance) One Yoar $2.00 Six Months 1.N Three Months ?? WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 4, 1929 HIGH STANDING GAMBLERS AND COMMON THIEVES. Henry Ford says he can see no cause for unemployment. We know nothing abotr: the cause. We do know, however, something of the ef fect of unemployment. We know that tlu re are great armies of un employed in this country today. We know ihat little children are suffer ing, because their daddies cannot g : any work to do. We know tha; bj=iness men are pulling their hair u:> I standing on their heads because t workers who trade with these 1. .chants cannot pay their bills, be vause they have no employment. Wo do know that the most pathetic pic ture in American life is a man who wants to work and cannot find any work > ? do. An. we know another effect that is to follow, regardless of the cause of unemployment. Unless this unem ployment ceases, and ceases soon, veritable hel is going to break loose in America. Winter is just around the bend, 'uel, food, shelter and raiment, not counting medicine and other things just as necessary, will Le needed as never before insofar as tlii- generation knows need and want. Charity cases will multiply, and then old human nature will step into the breach. Hopeless, helpless, despairing daddies who have hereto fore been honest citizens will step across the line that divides the land of honesty from that of thievery, and take whatever he can find , wherever he can find it. We think the gamblers in the market are the cause of so Cmet^l(3.^effi^i!rt<Wtti ?<& ttW r . ney ill the country is withdrawn from industry and legitimate busi i; . und is being used by the ^ .millers in stocks and bonds. The tragedy of the thing lies in the fact t: these gamblers will go scot free, whdi the working man who can find ik. work, and proceeds to steal a sack of (!i>ur to keep his babes from starv ing. will be put on the. chain gang branded as a thief. Won't some one who uses the word "damn" in an impressive man lier please say it for us and apply it to the stock gamblers? LET'S HAVE MR. MEESE VISIT THIS COUNTY. Mr. C. N\ Meese, deputy state game warden, had a splendid article in a recent issue of The Farm ers Federation News, which was re published in Sunday s Citizen. The article dealt with things of interest in Western North Cat '.na, with par ticular reference to trout fishing and tishing streams in fifteen western counties. It was stated that one mil lion live hundred thousand trout had been placed in the streams of these fifteen counties during the past year. 'i iie article also told of the trout streams in each county, and other '"facts" about the counties. Mr. Meese is, however, woefully lacking in knowledge about Transylvania county, judging from his description of this place. Read what he says in the article: ?'Transylvania county borders on the South Carolina line. Brevard, the county seat, is available by the Southern Railway and Highway No. 28. Part of the Federal Gam* preserve is located in this county." What citizen would recognize old Transylvania from this description? Not a word in that article about Highway 284, that leads from Green ville, S. C., by way of Caesar's Head, that matchless masterpiece of un equalled beauty and grandeur, on throutrh the great Cedar Mountain section, by Connesstee Falls, through Brevard and on through the Pink Beds, across Pisgah Mountain, to Waynesville. Not a word about Highway 283 over which thousands of people come into this county by way of Pickens, through beautiful Eastatoe Gap, by Rosman and on down through the great Sylvan Val ley. j Then, to cap the climax, not a ref erence was made to the more than one thousand miles of trout streams in Transylvania county. Not a word ?bout the great power dam of the Cascade Power company, which is leased, stocked and managed by the Brevard Chamber of Commerce for tourists and visitors to angle for the beautiful trout. And this, at that, being the only county in the state with such provisions for visiting fish ermen! Mr. Meese says "a part of the federal game preserve is in Transyl vania county." Yes. The govern ment owns only 90,000 acres of land in Transylvania county, that's all! We move that the Kiwanis club, or the Chamber of Commerce, in vite Mr. Meese to spend a few days here and learn something of what this county really possesses. UNCLE SAM WANTS ONE THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND. Uncle Sam wants bids on one thousand acres of land, on which to establish a narcotic farm. Bids are asked through advertisements ap pearing in the Asheville daily papers and daily papers in other sections. There must be good farming land in the boundary, with plenty of pure water. There are to be some fif teen hundred people assembled on the farm. Brevard business men would do well to insist upon the government making an investigation of Uncle Sam's own land, at the entrance to the Pistfah National Forest. From the arch, extending several miles up Davidson River, there is an ideal place for just such a location. No liner water can be found anywhere, nor is there more beautiful sur roundings than that about the broad level acres along the banks of Davidson River. The Brevard News is convinced that the government would look with favor upon the location. It would mean much to Brevard to have fif teen hundred people, located so near the town. If Brevard business men think well of the idea, a letter ad dressed to the Supervising Architect, Treasury department, Washington, D. C., might bring government offic ials here to inspect the site on Pisgah Forest. Or, if any citizen has as much as one thousand acres, or can get that much together in one boundary, it might be well to communicate with the government. The Brevard News is inclined to the idea of having the farm established on land already owned by the government. Should the government purchase the land outright f'rom^omeTtWzenT that much more land is taken from the tax lists of the county. But whatever is done, must be done at once, October 5, or one month from this date, is the final limit for submitting bids and sug gestions. DON'T YOU WANT YOUR KINSFOLK BACK HOME? Judging from the few names sent in, the people of Transyjvania coun ty are not very anxious to have their relatives and friends come back home during the Home - Coming week, October 12 to the 19. In last week's Brevard News, and in the is sue preceding that, notice was given of the plan to have all the men and women who have lived here in the past and who now live in other places, come back to old Transyl vania county for the Home-Coming Week. Those having friends and rel atives living away from here were asked to send in the names and pres ent addresses of former citizens, so they could be sent invitations to come home for that week. But few names have been sent in so far. There is not much time left, and it is going to take concerted ef fort and quick action for this county to get invitations to the former citi- . zens to attend the Home-Coming event. i If you have a brother, sister, son, daughter, cousin, uncle, aunt, neph- 1 ew, niece, grandfather, grandmother, or friend, who has ever lived in Tran- 1 sylvania county and who now lives in some other place, please send in ' their names to The Brevard News of- j fice. Invitations will be sent to such ; people from The News and from the ' state government at Raleigh. In ad- ; dition, The Brevard News will send copies of the paper containing infor mation about the plans to all such names as are given us. ? Please co-operate in this matter with us, to the end that as many former citizens as possible may be invited to come home for the Home Coming Week. 1 Well, the 1929 season is ended. Good crowds came to Brevard during the summer. A park, with a swimming j pool and some play apparatus for the children would add several hundreds to next year's tourist crowd. What about it? Do not fail to see "The Singing Fool" at the Clemson Theatre next Monday or Tuesday. It is one of the most appealing pictures ever screened PAYING ANOTHER TRIBUTE TO SCHOOL BOOK GRAFTERS. With the beginning of another school year, the people of North Car olina dig down and dish up another wagon load of money to the school book gang. Readers and spellers have been changed for this year's work, and some other new books adopted. Several people who bought new books last year for these grades now have to purchase other books, readers and spellers, because some body, somewhere, made a change in the books. Just how long the people of North Carolina will stand for this high handed method is not known. We do know, however, that one of these days the old Tar Heels are going to say to that gang: "Not another dollar shall you take from the pockets of North Carolin ians through this method of yours." Just think of it! One group of people, q very, very few in number, will decide that a certain spelling book is the proper book for the chil dren to use. Every parent in the state with chidlren in the grades in which these books are used, must buy these new ones. Just a short period thereafter, this same gang will meet and declare that the last books adopted were no good, there fore new ones must be substituted, and once more the cycle starts that digs deep into the pockets of the citizens throughout tile state. In other words, the speller, or reader, or whatever book it is, that Johnny studied is no good for Sam my, a year or two younger than Johnny, so a new book must De adopted for Sammy. Then, when Tommy gets ready for that grade, the book that Sammy has been study ing is found to be no good, so a new book must be adopted for Tommy. If there is any one place in Hades hotter than the rest of the world of lire and brimstone, we do hope that old Saint Peter will order this school gang to spend its eternity in that hottest of hot places. Mrs. Pierce Tinsley sent to The News office an Irish potato with a watch chain growing through it. stating that it was just as she found it in her potato patch below Connes tee Falls. The chain is a rusty sec tion about two inches in length, and the potato is about the size of a duck egg. It is suggested that Connestee potatoes may now bring a spc.(jisV REV. MR. HUTCHISON TO PREACH ON NEXT SUNDAY Rev. W. S. Hutchison, former pas tor of the Davidson River church, will preach at this church Sunday afternoon at 3 :30 o'clock. IN MEMORY OF MRS. NORTON Editor The Brevard News: The hearts of the community were filled with sorrow on the morning of August 9, when the announcement of the death of Mrs. S. L. Norton was made-not of this community only but of Jackson and Macon counties also, where she had many friends. Indeed the friends of Mrs. Norton were counted by the number of her ac quaintances. Mrs. Norton, nee Miss Hill, with her husband, Fuller Norton, moved from Highlands, her native home, to this county in the early seventies. They bought a farm, located in a cove, the exact spot where Camp Transylvania is now situated. Then they built a neat cottage and planted an apple orchard of rare fruit, per haps at that time the best orchard in the county. Then 42 years ago Mr. Norton died and left Mrs. Norton with seven chil dren. Notwithstanding the great re sponsibility cast so suddenly upon her, with a firm trust in the God of the fatherless, with supreme courage, frugal habits and business tact, she provided comfortably for them all and gave them the advantage of the best opportunities the community af forded until they all reached years of maturity. Nor was her labor in vain, for the years of unselfish devo tion she lavished on them was apprec iated, as evidenced by the tender care they bestowed on her in her declining years, each one doing what they could to make her last days her happiest days. Mrs. Norton died in the 87th year of her age and was in many respects a most remarkable woman, Deeply religious, she never allowed her in terest to abate in her church, the Methodist. With a gentle, quiet dispo sition, the ordinary trials of life never ruffled or soured her temperament. With a heart filled with the milk of human kindness, she was a companion able friend and a good neighbor. Endowed with good business judg ment, she was able to appreciate and help in every way she could every thing that pertained to the better ment of the community. When it came to questions of right and wrong you could always count on Mrs. Norton standing on the side of right. She made no compromise with wrong, but in her quiet gentle man ner was a strong advocate of all that was right in her church, her home, in society, in her county and state. Mr. and Mrs. Norton moved to this county about the same time that I did. I knew them both intimately and if I was callcd upon to present to the younger generation an object lesson of th beauty, of purity of character, gentleness of manner, loyalty to duty and fidelity to every trust, I could find no more worthy illustration than is to be found in the life of this "Mother in Israel," who though dead yet speaketh. J. L. BELL ' THE SCHOOL CORNER! Brighten the corner where you are Conducted bv S. P. VERNER County Superintendent i The Rosman School opening showed ; !an auditorium packed. We let Mrs. , Jordan Whitmire tell about it in The , News. Apropos of this, Mrs. Whit mire is the daughter of a veteran . teacher of. this county, Mr. Luther ! Wilson, who is as successful at truck farming as he was a teacher, and whose home near WilsonV \ Bridge is overflowing with good things. School teaching and truck farming made a new combination, i one which ought to be more widely . tried out. j We had what Roosevelt used to call a "bully time" with Mrs. Win chester's numerous family at Selica. It is a real cure for the blues to mix ;with kids. They can put pep into you, if you let them. Mrs. Reid had : a group cleaning up the grounds and building ? a most important part of education. You can tell teachers by the looks of their buildings. Even old buildings look better when prop- ; erly taken care of. Mr. Noah Miller was pitching ball ! for hi? boys at Penrose. The teacher j who is on the play-ground with the children at recess has fewer troubles to settle. People who move into the remoter | parts of the county after the burlir^t is made in May are out of luck, since no provision for the transporta tion of their children can be made after the budget is once adopted. Everybody should remember to lay plnns in March and April. When you have business to trans act, write it. A stamp costs less I than a ten mile ride. Personal con- | tact has advantages, but writing oft en saves much time and money. Big business men know this and act upon it. CLASSIFIED ADS LIME FOR SALE ?
