THE BREVARD NEWS j! Published Every Wednesday by , 1 THE TRANSYLVANIA PUBLISHING CO., Int. i Entered at the Postoffice in Brevard, N. C., as Second Class Matter , j James F. Barrett BdttO SUBSCRIPTION RATES (Payable in Advance) Owe Y ...... |2.00 Six ths 1.00 Three Months ? ?? WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1930 THAT ABSENTEE BALLOT LAW, AND OTHER LAWS. Our good friend of East Fork whose letters are always interesting *tu' instructive, poked the pen of satire and good natured sarcasm at the editor of The Brevard News con cerning our recent editorial comment ?u the hellishness of the absentee ballot law. Our friend failed for ance. however, to use the good judg ment in matters of comparison which Ra.- marked the writings of the cor res londent during the past several jetrs. ?? East Fork writer said the 4> liition law is often disobeyed, ^ii the more important law against in- dor is also broken just as often ??.- rv.mf fool fellow gets mad and tills another fellow, and that the law against buying votes is also flagrantly disobeyed, and states fur ther r . these laws should hot be repeal-. ' simply because they are not o-bey ed by the people. Therefore, East Fork muses, the Absentee Bal lot law should not be repealed sim ply because it is violated. There is this great distinction be tween the laws used in comparison by our East Fork writer: The prohibition law is a prohibi tory law? intended to prohibit cer tain things; the law against murder is also a prohibitory law, intended to safeguard human life, and out-law murder; tin- law against vote-buy ing Ls likewise a prohibitory law, ?nd intended to put a stop to the fractice nf buying votes. To the txU'iit that these prohibitory laws irv- enforced, we shall enjoy freedom tad prosperity and peace. That they ivve no: more generally observed is n challenge to the citizenship of state *ud nation. I'll' the absentee ballot law is VCT a prohibitory law. Kathcr is it a legal permission to violate all laws ' vonmion decency and fairness. 1 iie tu si laws mentioned are for the protection '?f society in that they attempt to prohibit crimes that are jharniful to the community. The ab .stuf.ee ballot law PERMITS and C^OVIDES opportunity for fraud *n<i cheating and stealing. ' ' .'eek we celebrate a day dedi t.Ued to siging of the Declaration of .Independence, from which great document came our boasted plan of free govornm. nt in which there foutd no government except through the consent of the governed. The ?sovereign right of citizenship, as ex pressed through the ballot, came to us at a tremendous cost. What a hol low mockery of that pure patriotism is our plan ct' thwari.ig the will of the people by theft tin ugh the med ium provided in the a; entee ballot ?law ' It ought to be repeal., It is going U> be repealed. SIMON PURE DOCTRINE AND EXCELLENT ADVICE. That old stand-by. The Charlotte Observed, hits the nail on the head io often that a close reader soon fearns to depend upon its advice and counsel. Read the following editorial, then sit down and sit there for a few moments, Riving your best thought to these words, and see how .great is the truth contained therein: The Observer says: This thing of "hard times" is largely a state of mind, development from force of habit. The "times" are not by any means so bad as popular discussion might \ 'indicate ? certainly oot in this part of the couEtry. The thing got off to a good start just after the war when the cotton mill ?oen gave it a boost because their business could not be maintained on ?a fca.i of proi'its during times of war. The bank statements indicate that there is no lack of money at this center; building operations are active with newly development impetus week by wee!:, as much as $125,000 Itaving come into sight the past few 1 days, while real estate transactions are far in excess of the transactions j for the first six months of the past , yeur. And where do you see a long- i faced merchant? Too much spending en part of a donVcar people has ] brought them to the checking-up per- , iod. The Observer is in agreement ( with the summary submitted to The (iastdnia Gazette by Banker and Slantif^iur^ Myers, of that city, that times are not hard, only as we j makf them so by reckless and care less fiabits of spending." If. audde i- ' Sy, af! to" people and all the pay ! would quit talking about hard " the country would bo bro;.:;. "d into , realization of the fact that th* *aint any." 1 jETS ALL HE DESERVES, 50 HE OUGHT TO STOP CUSSING ABOUT THINGS. CU0?e day 1?. 2 ness man was cussing and discuss Z "slow business." He gave com parative figures of his sales that week and for the same week ;a yea ag0, and two years ago The com nvisons showed considerable de ceases. But as he talked we thought back over the past four years and there was never a meeting of the men of the town to try to improve business where this man's ,,.en Never a word of advice, help fulness, encouragement, has this man .riven in any meeting here that would help the town to grow . Not only that, but not a dollar, so far could we recall, has he con tributed toward carrying on the woik here for improvement of conditions. He stays right with his business and nets all the business he can rake from the crowds brought here the rest of the men of the town. It was ridiculous, to state it mildly, this attitude assumed by the man. Fussing and fuming ?*><* du" business, and what's he ever done to help business here? You know had no sympathy whatever for this man. ?e ought to suffer. No man who r, fuses to take his part in the work of a community has any ng pec1 to get a full share of the busi n ? of that community. This man may not know it, but one thing that hurts his business right now . f.U't that other men in Brevard have withdrawn their patronage fromhl? because he steadfastly refused to help these men bear the burden of community building. His dwrndlmg business is not due entirely to he "hard times," for much of it is due to his "hard headiness" in refusing :?, Ms of ???'?? ? ry it up the hill with the rest of fellows. > MEMPHIS IS NOT SO FAR AWAY, BUT SO DIFFERENT Recent issue of the Commercial Appeal of Memphis shows the pic ture of a voung lady standing b> Tkiosk on the Memphis S-juare, eating an ice cream cone and dunk inK a cold drink, trying to coo off" in a heat wave that registered 116 on the kiosk thermometer. Ot course, a kiosk is a monumental liar, so every town says when these monsters are placed. But. * that as it may, the K?vornmont read ings ran the mercury to mark, which is hot enough, . know. At that same time the people in Brevard and Transylvania count* were sleeping under blankets eve. y night. No wonder the good folks Memphis love Brevard in the good old summertime. We have ample room for many more Memphis folks. Come on up. BREVARD BOY GIVEN HIGH HONORS AT YALE. The New Haven Journal-Courier brings news of high honors given Mr. Randall W. Everett, Jr., of Brevard, in giving an account of a recent election held at Yale. It was in the Sheffield Scientific school class of Yale that votes were taken, lirst: For the man who had done most for Yale; second, the most popular man in the class. In the voting Mr. Everett was given second place in the first con test, and won third place in the last contest. These are not by any means the first honors that the Bevard young man has brought back to his mountain heme here. In view of the fact that there are thousands of men in Yale, and the distinguished ser vice necessary to win in elections like these, Brevard is proud of one of her own boys who, year after year, wins such honors and places the name of Brevard in newspapers and magazines throughout the land. SOLD HIS STOCK AND HAD TO GO AFTER MORE. Last week Alf Glazener told the people of the county, through his advertisement in The Brevard News, a story about socks for men, and how he had always delighted in selecting stocks of socks and selling them. Al so he told them of a ?reat stock of socks he then had on hand. Well sir, by Friday evening the socks were ?one, and Mr. Glazener had to order more for Saturday's trade, having them rushed to Asheville where he went Friday night and got them. That's right. Good values, plus publicity about them, gets the busi. rvtss, and wc don't mean maybe, l.'wck and double check. .Look into the mirror. Big Boy, ook into the mirror, and search the :ounteapce refected therein before /ou start knocking that other fellow, if 011 might see something that would .hantje your opinion about the -.vhoh Vorks ? A CALL TO THE MAYOR FOR QUICK ACTION. Complaint has been made, and justly so, about the conduct of > some children about the court house ? square on nights when the town's fine band is rendering its programs. A few young ones seem to think that the band gathers at the stand and makes music for the children to play by. This annoyance robs the people of the pleasure of the con certs, and should be stopped at once. It had been hoped that the parents of the children would recognize their duty, and stop this nuisance without the necessity of any one having to make public mention of it. But such good fortune seems not to be forthcoming, hence this call to the mayor and officers to see to it that the people who delight in the band concert; may enjoy their pleasures. One citizen who derives much pleasure from the band concerts went home, disgusted, and penned the following letter to The Brevard News: , It is unfair to the band, unfair to the sponsors of the band? unfair to all lovers of music ? unfair to our guests ? unfair to the custodians of the Court Square ? unfair to all of our citizens and friends who come to hear the band ? unfair to the reputa tion of our people for good order and respectful conduct. It is un fair to every sentiment of gentle conduct and good breeding to allow a few noisy, boisterous, unruly boys and girls to. mar the pleasure of ev erybody on "band night" by racing, wrestling and running over the square and through the audience. It is a reflection on the good manners of our town that should not be tol erated. The program is not ar ranged for the amusement of a few boisterous boys and girls and they should not be allowed to monopolize the occasion. Will the public officials permit it to continue? We hope not. Did you ever see anything more pathetic than a political boss whose previous power is passing away? It is tragic for the Ross, but wonderful for the people, the party and pure government. Take Chicago, f oY in stance. Machines are being smashed there, and the smashing will be good for Chicago, or for any other com munity where the smashing is thoroughly done. Well, wonder what we shall go crazy about now. No pending mar riages at Hollywood; Bishop Cannon is not in the limelight; stock market can't crash any crashier; Hoover's son has gone to work, and the Lind bergh's will not have another baby for a while. So the question conns up: What in the world shall we rave about now? I The Hunter boys have been up in the air for the past three weeks, and the country is making much over them. That's nothing, we've been up in the air for the past three years, and nobody gets excited about us. Welcome the Campers and Tour ists to Brevard, as you meet them. A smile and a handshake now is worth a whole booklet next Spring. We invited the folks to come here, so let's make them glad that they accepted.
