BREVARD MUSIC LOVERS CLUB
The Brevard Music Lovers' club
met Monday evening at the home of
Mrs. Frank Jenkins, with Mr?. A.
H. Kizer as joint hostess.
All the members expressed regret
that the president, Mrs. Roy Long,
could not be present, and sympathis
ed with her in her recent bereave
ment Mrs. J. M. Allison presided
in her place. The business Was short
and consisted mostly in naming
committees and starting plans for
the celebration of music week and
for the work of the club for next
year. i
Miss Bartholomew and Miss Mer
ritt had the program on Irish music.
The former spoke first, telling some
thing of the history of the people,
showing how this reflected in their
music. The belief in fairies and
other supernatural beings mark many !
of thm ballads. This naturally gay
I and bright people were also sensitive
to suffering and oppression. The
English conquest brought sorrow and
melancholy to their music. Patriotic
songs resulted from the conflict.
Mm. Johnson played one 'of theie,
"8t. Patrick's Day," which later has
been used for jig dancing:. Miss
Biggers sang "St. Patrick was a
Geutleman" and the club song, "The
Wearing of the Green." ,
Miss Merritt emphasized the beau- i
ty of Irish music. Many of the songs <
are artistic gems that may be com- i
pared favorably with the works of i
famous composers. Moore, who was i
the first to popularize these songj, j
did not hesitate to change the me.'- <
ody to suit the words; hence his edi
tions are not as good as those of ,
later collectors who followed the or- )
'ginal. Miss Merritt told the inter- j
teresting history of many songs. Of ,
these the club sang, "Robin Adair;" j
Mrs. J. F. Winton, "The Last Rose of j
Summer;" Mrs. Allison, "Believe Me
If All Those Endearing Young
Chams;" and Mrs. Allison, Mrs. 0.
L. Erwin and Miss Bartholomew, thd
Londonderry air with the words,
"Lovu's Benediction."
The hostesses served delicious .
sandwiches with cake and coffee.
After this the members enjoyed a J
pleasant half hour of conversation.
Miss Strickland, the new member,
was extended a hearty welcome.

prosper.
There is one thing we will give you credit for. You had enough sense
at least not to ask the chain stores for credit when you were in trouble.
Now listen to us, friends, I want to talk to you seriously about this
matter. Now, you Mr. Lawyer, how many cases do you try in a year for
the chain boys? And Mr. Doctor, how many calls do you have a year
from this crowd who take your money but give you none back? You,
Mr. Dentist, how many teeth have you jerked out for the chain store
arowd last year? You certainly must have lost your own wisdom teeth
or you could see in the f:nd you are cheating yourself, cause, you are
not going to continue prosperous if your fellow citizens are not. And
you, Mr. Farmer, you are the guy that thinks the whole world's agin
you and yet you are spending your money with an outfit that does more
to cut down the prices on the products you raise than any other agency
in the world. If you don't be/ieve this statement you should read the
article on: "Farmers Now Face Chain Stores" by James E. Boyle,
Professor of Rural Economy of Cornell University. He tells you of the
methods used by the big chains to beat down the prices on the things
you raise. Just one quotation from Prof. Eoyle's article ? "Every ye&?'
some canrier of peas, com, tomatoes, or peaches and so on, cans too big
a pack. He rushes to the chain store with his surplus. They recognize
this surplus aa distress merchandise and drive a hard bargain, often
buying below cost of production. This stuff then becomes a leader. The
effect if the chair, be a large one is to depress prices of the product over
the whole United States, for the market is very sensitive. Here again
the farmer is the shock absorber in the end, for buyers can protect
themselves best by paying farmers less. Now, what do you know about
that. You farmers who have almost, by your action considered the chain
crowd as a Moses to lead you out of the Wilderness. You want to get a
new pair of specs at the ten cent store and look into things.
Mr. Banker, you are supposed to be a wise bird. You make your
money loaning other peoples' money to some one else, but if the folk.
who leave their money in town when they have any, haven't any money
to leave in your bank, where are you going to get any money to loan
You can't loan the chain store boys' money, that's a cinch.
Now Mr., Mrs. and Miss School Teacher, we will take up your
case. You are supposed. fceach the young idea how to shoot, to train
the young minds in the way they aliculd eo. According to our idea your
are doing a poor job, for the folks who really at v. w?verl to pay your
wages are getting nothing back from you and eventually they won't Lc .
here to pay and they do say that it will only be a few years now until
school and school teachers will be passe and the youths will all be
taught by talking pictures. The Big Chain Picture concerns are going
to attend to your case if you don't look out.
Mr. Property Owner, you are the fellow who ran Charles Smith
out of his corner store cause he couldn't stand double rent and a ten
year lease, but you have a lot of other property in town that isn't worth
half as much as it was before, because all the Charlie Smiths in town
haven't been doing so well. So. old man, you haven't derived a jjreat
lot of benefit from your high rent yet.
Now Mr. Preacher, you want to sell salvation at union wages and
buy your goods at bargain prices, and you are supposed to advocate co
operation, brotherly love, etc., why say, every Sunday you should be
preaching sermons advising your people to trade with those who make
your salary possible, who occasionally help redecorate the church, buy
a new furnace, or help to pay off that old note. Let your conscience be
your guide. Are you giving your fellow man a square deal?
Mr. Undertaker, I see you sitting back there in the corner waiting
for some one to kick in. How many coffins have you sold to the chain
store boys? Right here we are going to touch off the dynamite. Did
you ever see a Secretary of a Chamber of Commerce on a salary contrib
uted by the Independent Merchants of a city, directing the efforts for a
better community, and a better community spirit, come out of a chain
store? Well we did last week and it was funnier to us than one of Will
Rogers' best jokes. It is a good thing for him that we don't sign his sal
ary check cause it certainly "wouldn't rain no more" for him.
And you, Mr. Newspaper Man and employees around the office.
Who fed you all the years around here until you developed a sizable and
profitable paper, and now isn't your paper full of propaganda put out
by the Publicity Department of the big chain store organizations and
run in your paper free as news telling of the holier than thou attitude
of the chains, and how they are interested in the development ol all
communities in which they operate and all that sort of bunk, and they
never gave a darn cent to make it possible. You run their stuff free and
spend a lot of time wondering why Charlie Smith can't pay his adver
tising bill.
What good is an education going to do your children, if the chain
store method of distribution is to endure? They will have no oppor
tunity for them to use the one your sacrifice helped create. If all the
fthinking, planning, etc, is to be done in New York or Chicago, and all
they need is a yes mam yes sir, wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a phono
graph and be done with it?
