THEY ARE OURS, AND
WE SHOULD STAND BY
THEM IN EVERY WAY.
Transylvania county is this week
Riving to the world another group of
High School graduates. The two
classes, at Brevard and Rosman, rep
resent the very best there is in
Transylvania county. The young men
and young women have finished the
long journey from the first to the
highest grade, and are this week
marching forth to take their places
in the affairs of men.
It is now the duty, and ought to
!>e considered the privilege, of the
men of Transylvania county to see to
it that our own boys and girls are
given first chance at everything we
have to offer. Life looks none too
rosy to these young people at best,
with but little to offer in the local
field, and positions are scarce every
where. This county ought, therefore,
to see to it that no one is brought
in from the outside to take any po
sition in the county until these
young men and young women are
given a chance at the positions and
places that may be open.
At best, we shall lose many of these
young people. Of necessity they must
leave home and county to find em
ployment elsewhere. What a great
loss to this community! We men in
the county could have had a great
furniture factory here, or some other
enterprise, in which most of these
fine young men could have pooled
their energies and their interests, tc
remani here as the future leaders of
the county.
Let us improve our ways, oui
thinking, our work, and prepare
each year places for the young men
and young women who graduate ir
our high schools. We work hard tc
bring other people into the county
and do nothing to keep those we al
ready have here in our homes and in
our community. Let's wake up.
BE FAIR, OLD CHAP,
IN YOUR CRITICISM.
Every once in a while some good
soul becomes enraged at this news
paper, and thinks he will stop the
whole works by stopping "the dern
thing." We have no quarrel what
ever with any one who does not care
to take The Brevard News. That is
each one's own individual privilege
to take it or not take it. We do
think, however, that it is a sign of
meanness when one does get huffy
and stops his subscription, then to go
out and borrow a neighbor's Brevard
News, read it, and then criticise it.
We have one such good fellow, and
he certainly pulled a bone a few
days ago. Several weeks ago he re
fused to take his Brevard News out
of the postoffice, and said some
rather hard things about the paper
and its editor. But he kept on slip
ping around, reading the other man's
copy. He say in the paper the state
ment that there is not an empty
store building in town, nor a resi
dence that could be had for love or
money. Right up in the air he went.
He called The Brevard News several
kinds of a liar, for publishing such
rot, when there are so many store
buildings in the town for rent, not
to say anything about the vacant
houses.
Directly a friend of ours pointed
out the fact that the item he was
cusstng so loudly was under the
heading: "Ten Years Ago In Bre
vard." Ha, ha, ha, and ho, ho, ho,
and he, he, he, and hi, hi, hi, and
haw, haw, haw!
Poor old boy I
Welcome to Sherman P. Hammatt
and his good wife. Their appearance
in Brevard each Spring brings re
newed hope to the community. They
are coming to make preparations for
opening the Frankin hotel, and it is
cause for rejoicing to know that they
expect an even better season than
that experienced by the famous
Franklin last year.
Kiwanians will celebrate the open
ing of the Cat and the Fiddle Coffee
Shop by taking their regular weekly
luncheon there this Thursday noon.
Mrs. Harry Patton, popular hostess,
will be in charge of the place and
serve dinner to the club.
AN EVENING WITH THE
WALLACE HARTSELLS.
| It was the pleasure of the editor
of The Brevard News to spend a
while with Rev. Wallace Hartsell and
his family in Kings Mountain last
Sunday. Rev. Paul Hartsell and
Rev. Mack Grogan accompanied the
writer on the trip.
The people of Kings Mountain are
delighted with their new pastor and
his fine family. We were in the
meeting Sunday evening when the
congregation of Kings Mountain
First Baptist church completed a
day's work which piled up three
hundred dollars for missions, all
given in the one day. Inquiries re
vealed the fact that this sum brings
the total mission contributions to
'$1600 for the pa?t four months, and
ths pastor and his splendid congrega
tion were elated over this wonderful
achievement.
It was a rtal pleasure to be with
the Hartsells. They sent so many
messages back to so many of their
friends here, that we take this meth
od of saying to all of you that the
Hartsells sent their love to all the
people here.
THOMAS M. SEAWELL
1 A REAL EDITOR.
1 Thomas M. Seawell, recently ac
quiring The Waynesville Mountain
j eer, is proving a distinct addition to
the newspaper field in Western
I North Carolina. He is an experienced
: newpaper man, and knows what to
? write and how to write it. Then, too,
he knows how to make his newspaper
look like a million dollars.
The many friends in Brevard of
William Band sympathize with him
because ill health forced him to leave
the newspaper field and dispose of
The Mountaineer. He has worked
long and hard during the past sev
eral years, leaving Brevard to enter
the field at Waynesville. Haywood
county and all Western North Caro
lina, however, may well feel grati
fied over the coming of Mr. Seawell,
who, in the short time he has been
in Waynesville, has demonstrated
great ability as a newspaper man.
May he be successful far beyond
1 his greatest hope, is our sincere wish
1 for him and his associates.
FEARED THAT FROST
KILLED THE FRUIT.
s Many citizens of the county have
i expressed fear that recent heavy
i frosts played havoc with fruit. Mr,
i John Bishop, of the Brevard Insti
, tute, says apples are gone. Reports
. from other sections are to the ef
i feet that frequency of frosts finally
killed the fruit, except in orchards
located in sheltered spots.
; There were several frosts, day
after day, adn it is believed the fre
quency of these, rather than the se
verity of either one, caused damage
to the fruit. Transylvania bid fair
to have a bumper crop until the
frosts of last week. All trees were
in heavy bloom, and owners had
looked forward to a big crop. It is
a hard blow to the county, this big
promising crop to be nipped in the
bud by the unusual frosts. Many
citizens say that this is the first time
in many years that so many frosts
have been witnessed after Easter.
That band music "listens' good to
one walking along the streets of the
evening. It ought to mean much to
every citizen here. It indicates that
our own boys are up there in the
band room, making ready to enter
tain the citizens and visitors during
the summer season with their won
derful concerts. Brevard has the
best municipal band in the whole
cockeyed world, and we don't mean
maybe.
CHANCE TO OBTAIN
AN INDUSTRY HERE.
| P. M. Verdery, Charlotte, shows
his friendship for this town in many
j different ways. He read an editor
I ial appearing in a recent issue of
I The Charlotte Observer, and immed
I iately mailed it into The Brevard
| News, with the* expressed wish that
I Brevard may be able to land it. The
Editoritl follows:
"A new industrial departure in
the south about which not much has
been said so far, is the manufacture
of paper. The extent to which this
industry is already developed is in
dicated in a statement this week by
The Daily Construction Bulletin, is
sued by Ttte Manufacturers Record.
Indicating the concentration of the
paper industry in the South, with its
abundant supply of suitable soft
woods, miscellaneous chemicals and
adequate transportation facilities, is
enlargement of established plants
and construction of new plants. The
Daily Construction Bulletin makes
note that the Brown Paper Mill
company is doubling the size of its
plant at Monroe, La., at a cost of
|5,000,000. The Bogalusa Paper
company, Bogalusa, La., is expand
ing its plant at big cost. The Albe
marle-Chesapeake Corporation is
completing a $1,5000,000 mill at
West Point, Va. The John H. Heald
company, Lynchburg, Va., recently
completed a $2,000,000 linerboard
plant. The Chawipion Fibre com
pany, Canton, N. C., ha3 a virtually
continuous expansion program under ;
way at its huge plant. West Vir- |
ginia Pulp & Paper company, Luke, j
Md., recently completed a 16,000,000
gallon capacity filtration plant. The
Harvey Paper Mills company, Wells- 1
burg, W. Va., let contracts in Janu
ary for a paper bag plant. The Gulf
States Paper company completed a
$6,000,000 plant last year at Tusca
loosa, Ala.
"The Bulletin lists as "the most im
portant undertaking" of the past
week a $10, 000,000 kraft paper mill
to be erected at Panama City, Fla.,
for the Southern Kraft Corporation,
a subsidiary of the International
Paper company. The plant will be
one of the country's largest paper
mills, designed for a daily capacity
of 200 tons. The announcement as
sumes added significance when it is
considered that only recently the In
ternational Paper company com
pany completed a $5,000,000 plant at
Mobile, Ala., and a few years ago
built at Camden, Ark., a $5,000,000
plant, each with a capacity of 100
tons daily. The company also has
large mills at Moss Point, Mitis., and
two mills at Bastrop, Ala., through
subsidiaries has erected paper bag
plants costing about $1,500,000
each.
"It is reported that the company
is looking for a site for a kraft mill
in the Carolinas. What Western
North Carolina town will be first to
wake' to this opportunity?"
MRS. NORTON THANKS CITIZENS \
Editor The Brevard News:
Will you please give me space in
your paper to express my apprecia
tion to the people of Hogback town
ship for their kindness and courtesy
to me while working among them as
census enumerator. I met with per
fect courtesy and seeming willingness
,1.0 answer ali questions as nearly
correct as possible. Ey their will
ingness to cooperate with me in the
'work, made it possible for me to fin
ish on scheduled time, otherwise I
could not have done it for my work
was scattered.
I enjoyed the work and was pleas
ed to be in the home of almost ev
ery citizen of Hogback township,
but I shall not canvass the township;
again unless I decide to become a
candidate for sheriff.
Again I thank you good people,
for your kindness.
MRS. LEE F. NORTON.
BLOWING ROCK AND THE
EDITORS
(Charlotte Observer)
j Editor Harris, of The Franklin
Press, and Editor Barrett, of The
! Brevard News, from their perches on
the mountain tops, are bewailing the
! circumstances that, the Press Assoc
: iation having elected to hold its next
meeting at Blowing Rock, members,
'tired of the talk in the convention
ha!!, will have no opportunity to[
stroll oat and go into some building i
where they may sniff the odor of
printer's ink and heer the rumble of i
the press, because Blowing Ilock has j
110 printing office. If that is their on- 1
ly objection, they may as well pack !
their grips in joyous anticipation,
for tile hustling town of Boone is i
only 20 minutes from Blowing Rock, I
and there the visiting editors m&y be I
taller, through one cf the most
uniquely arranged printing shops in
the State. It is the home of The 1
Wautauga Democrat, edited by Bob
Rivers and hand-boused by him.
Architecturally, The Democrat office
has form and shape of a family res
idence. it is located four feet be
low the level of the pavement, the '
steps leading down into a grassy ?
park, narrow, to be sure, but shaded .
by the sort of trees the village black- 1
smith boasted of. Inside there is ar.
j arrangement of machinery desks, .
tables, stones and presses which dis- 1
! play the hand of a genius, while,
| during a lull in the talk, is heard the i
rippling voice of a mountain stream j
| that gushes up at the corner of the
j building and goes tumbling on its
I way to join the New, and ultimately
to mingle in the waters of the Gulf.
| Work in The Democrat office goes
along to the song of tumbling water.
Tho Prses Convention was held in
thiu same town of Blowing Rock a
dozen years ago, and it is remember
ed by those who attended as one of
I the- best on record.

Do you^
really know
your cigarette?
YOU'RE PARTICULAR about the other things that are so intimate
a part of your personality. What about your cigarettes? There are
several hundred grades of leaf tobacco. What kind of cigarette
do you smoke ?
If you smoke Camels you smoke the choicest tobaccos grown.
For the famous Camel blend is based on the use of tobaccos of
superlative quality. It is only from them that you can expect that
smooth, rich, mellow mildness and that fragrance and aroma found
in such perfection in Camels.
We buy the right tobaccos . . . the very choicest delicate leaves
of Turkish and Domestic. In their curing and preparation we use
the most modern and scientific methods. And we alone possess
the knowledge of the marvelous Camel blend.
That's why Camel is able to furnish real cigarette pleasure to
more millions than have ever given their patronage to any other
cigarette.
Don't deny yourself the luxury of
Camel
