MISS SHIPMAN SUFFERS Y VER"Y PAINFUL ACCIDENT Miri Annie 3hipman, the efficient ' and popular cashier of the Brevard Banking company, suffered a pain ful accident last Saturday when she sprained her back while" replacing some trays in use at the bank. She was taken to her home and placed under medical care, and is now re ported to be resti(j? fairly comfort ably. It is thought it will probably be a week or ten days before she i9 able to resume .her duties at the bank. One of the fellows in the account ing department of ono of the larger branches went to his tailor. "I've brought that last pair of trousers to be reseated. You know I ?U a lot." , bailor ? "Yes, and I hope you'v( \ brought the bill to be receipted, too. ^ou*}**, I've stood a lot." APPROPRIATIONS FOR RIVER WORK (Continued from page one) j ear to year as a result of the con dition of the river. The following were named at ommittees to work on each pro oct adopted in the program of ac .ivity: I he French Broad river: James F iarrett, Jerry Jerome and T. G. Mil ler. Assumption by government of ? ovtion of the county's bonded in debtedness: Jas S. Bromfield, A. H. (ouston and Fred Johnson. Appropriation for Postoffice Build ,ng: R. L. Nicholson. Fred Milter ind Dr. Chas L. Newland. On Highways: Wm. E. Breese, fhos. H. Shipman and 0. L. Erwin. Swain County Farmers: C. C. Yongue, J. W, Smith and Willis Ucittain. As to the river proposition, in liieh it is hoped to have the gov ernment clear the river of all the >!d jetties which have caused .so much damage along the miles of ? ich bottom lands through which he river flows, Henderson and Buncombe counties are to join in ho request for the necessary ap propriation. T. A. English, master aimer of the county and one of the big land-cwner-j in the valley, tarted thi3 movement several weeks ?go in a letter published in The Bre vard News. Mr. English has done much work on the matter, having prepared and circulated petitions .vhich will be used in laying the :!aim before the government. Several vears the Federal scov nment took nearly one hundred thousand of acres of 'and in thin ?ounty, converting it into the Pisga'n Vational Forest. Government land h not taxable, hence the losses in .uneri in county revenue in this .ction have been heavy, and are cine by the balance of the proper ly in the county. The government :i to be urged to assume a proport ionate share of the county's bonded ndebtedncss to make up for this oss in revenue, which will automat t ally reduce the taxes on the bal ance of the property in the county. The town feels that its postoffice miriness is sufficiently large to just fy the erection of a postoffice niilding here, and much work has lready been dono along this line of ictivity and public improvement. With the Federal government urg rig the construction of highways as means of improving business con ations and creating activity, coupl ;l with the fact that the federal overnment this week allocated one ml three-quarters millions of dol ors to this state for building, it is ?lieved that the state highway au horities will see the justice of Tran ylvania's claims, ar.d pave the Cae ar's Head and Pickens highways, 'his plan is to be pushed with vim. The bit? Mellon interests have pur hased thousands of acres of farming nd mountain land in Swain county, ,hilc the Great Smoky Mountain National Park has planned to add mny other thousands of acres of and' in the adjoining counties to lie national playgvounds. This leans that hundreds of farmers are eeking now homes Georgia i? get ;ng the bulk of thesa North Cnvo inians now. Transylvania county laking effort to interest these peo le in this county, and bring addi 'cnal farmers to this section. Takt n as a whole, it is the most nbitious program ever adopted by he local Chamber of Comerce or he town of Brevard. Each project, ; happens, is equally important with he othei'3, and the community has ,n unusuallly fine opportunity to ee each one of the proposed plans laterialize. It would mean the so ution to this county's problems, and f direct benefit to every man, wo nan and child in the county. Little ictty, selfish, hateful, contrary, cus ededness cannot have any place in his program, for the men interest d in these movements realize the mportance of reviving business con lit ions here, to the end that fw ners may have a chance to pay heir taxes and live, and that busi- ( less men nay avert bank uptey. When such conditions as hose now facing the citssena of tnis ommunity exist, the man who would linder any movement S or the Det erment of such conditions would bt ooked upon as a traitor to the com nunity, and would make a hard bed 'or himself. T'i - men of this com mity are inten ly in earnest, and hrough their < :>certed, enthusias- , ic and intelligent efforts, better con litions are to be created for every >ne in the entire county.
