THE BREVARD NEWS Published Every Wednesday by THE TRANSYLVANIA PUBLISHING CO., Im. = Entered at the Postoffice in Brevard, N. C., as Second Class Matter James F. Barrett SUBSCRIPTION RATES (Payable in Advance) One Yoo* $2.00 Six " Shs 1.00 Three Months ?? WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1930 FIRE INSURANCE RATES MEANES1 TAX OK ALL. You know, the meanest thin# in the world that a Brevard business man has to contend with is the un just, high, hateful, excessive, fire insurance rate. State, county atid town taxes are hard enough, but one does get something in exchange for these charges. There are roads, streets, sidewalks, water and sew erage. schools, and other great con veniences that come as a result of these taxes. jiut just think about paying $2.55 on the hundred dollars fire insur an ?, here in a town that boasts of u,< o paved streets than any other U ii of its size in the world, with the best tire department to be found, equipped with up-to-date fire-fighting apparatus! A rate of $2.55 for machinery stock, most of it, on the ground floor, with cement floors and all ('inside brick walls. Other towns near here have a much lower rate than Brevard gets, and some of those towns have had more fires in 24 hours than this town has had in 25 years put to gether. The thing that gets one's goat is the fact that it does no good what ever to say anything about it. The local agents have no voice in the matter. The highfaluting fire insur ance companies, rapidly becoming one of the greatest monopolies and most dangerous menaces in Ameri ca, wield some kind of a magic wand over a community when, presto! out come- a rating for every building in a town, and immediately the people begin paying another year's tribute to this powerful power, sitting en throned somewhere. Wish to goodness we had all the fire insurance offices huddled in one building, anil that building would catch on fire, and we had the only fire hose in the world in our hands ?ve'd turn the water on the grass in our yards, and let the flames flame away. Or, Utter still, we wish that the men hi Urevard could get together for tin good of the town. One concerted effort, and thousands of dollar a year could be saved in this fixed and ever-growing charge on our community. A real treat is in store for tilt editor of this paper next Sunday morning, lie is to spend a while with Superintendent Ledbetter and ntemhei> of the Lioylston Sunday Sci.oo!. at the Sunday School hour. Mr Ledbetter was to avo gone with thi.- writer to AshevilU: >r the broad casting ' ' ( the Sund, School les son the week that this ..:>rk was so -uddeniy and abruptly ..scontinued by Manaif r G. 0. Sh' srd. While we regret that Air. !.<?< Iter was denied t! trip to Ashev : , we art proud indeed of the opp iunity of m eting with him and the splendid citi'/ei. of his community, ,and anx iously await tiie coming' of next Sunday mroning. A successful doctor gives careful attention to his patients. A success ful banker gives careful attention to his bank and its patrons. A suc cessful preacher looks after the Lord's work, A successful merchant tends his store. A successful school man loks after his schools. Buttin skies. know-it-alls and jacks-of-all trades try to do a little of their own work and a whole lot of the oth^r fellow's business. Boy, Howdy ? and how! Isn't it fine to meet the fellow who says: ?"Hello, there!" or "Heigh!" or "Good Morning, Old Scout!" or "Good Evening, Old Topi" Then, maybe, the next guy you meet just grunts and mumbles something-or other that sounds like a hoy who hfes just tried his first chew of store terbacker. Mayor Whftmire and Chief of folic Freeman wove than';ed by man} people Saturday night because these officials saw to it that all was quiet about the court house grounds while the band was giving its con cert. The band boys were at their best, and the splendid program wan thoroughly enjoyed by a large crowd of people. NEIGHBORLY ACTS THAT APPEAL TO CHRIST. One day, some two thousand years ago,' some people were listening to Jesus Christ as He taught of the New Kingdom. Something was said about neighbors, and one man in the crowd asked Him: "But who is my neighbor?" The Great Teacher then told them about a man who fell ill as he traveled along the highway, and could go no further. Priests and Levites passed the man by, walking on the other side of the road, pre tending jot to see the fellow in dis tress. Directly a Samaritan came along, saw the poor fellow, dis mounted from his horse and gave the stricken man first aid. This Samaritan then took the man to the hotel, got him a room, and gave him some money. One day, a few week* ago, M. L. Hamilton, highly respected citizen of Little River, fell ill. The men of the community gathered at the Ham ilton home, did what they could there for their friend's comfort, looked out over the Hamilton farm, saw the weeds and grass growing. Next morning they came again, this time with horses and plows, hoes and happy hearts. Into the fields these neighbors went, and worked out all the crops for their sick friend. Up at Cherryfield, Mr. E. Carl Al lison fell ill. For a few days his family and friends were deeply con cerned about his condition, and the neigbors stayed close by, doing all they could for him. They looked out over Mr. Allison's farm, and saw the weeds and grass growing in the fields that Mr. Allison always tended so well. Then, next morning, these neighbors came, With teams and plows and hoes. The grass anil weeds were growing in their own crops, but that mattered not. This could be attended to later. The fields of their sick friend must have first attention, which was given. Don't you know that the hosts of Heaven looked down upon these scenes and new songs were sung by the angels in celebration of the re enactment of the scene which Jesus used in describing the spirit of a neighbor. T hese events are only two of ?y.n ny such fine deeds performed by .he citizens of Transylvania county diH-.ls that are unsung by poets here, Vi so beautiful that their inspira '? on will echo throughout the ages in the hereafter. And these deeds were performed while the priests and Levites passed along the highway ? on the other side!

He was known through his "Sherlock Homes" de tevtice yarns to all lovers of mys tery. or detectives, stories. The Glorious Fourth of July claimed 404 lives in this country. Drownings lead the list, while nine were killed in airplanes. It is a (Jlorii us Fourth, and a costly Fourth. Thousands of people starving to death in China, and tens of ihuus ands of bushels of wheat in this country that cannot oe sold. What's the matter, somewhere? That w;is an attractive picture of ' celery planting which appeared in 'Sunday morning's newspaper. It carried a great lesson with its dis tinct showing of all the character? , taking part therein. It is just as much YOUK town as] j it is any one's eise. It is, therefore, just what YOU make it ? no more, no less. IN MEMORY OF MOTHER Dearest mother we have purted, And we miss your presence so; Many years may separate us In thin world ox care and woe. But I treasure svory promise That I made you in this land! And I know that I will meet you When the Lord comes back again. How this parting gives me ->:tow None but I can ever know; Tho' I meet you on the inor-ow, 0 how glad I'll be to go. O my precious, precious mother! O you are so far away, But I know that you can never Never never go astray. ___ Little mother you have left me; But we'll meet just o'er the way; In that land beyond the portals, In that land more fair than day. 0 ! loved h'"' how I Iovp'I tvr.

EVEN TALKING OF WAR ( (Charlotte Observer) I It was a big Fourth for Tam many, presentation to the city of a bronze flap pole in Union square, being but incidental, yet significant of Tammany's "New declaration of independ ence" from the evils of the dry . reign. Neither Al. Smith nor Governor Roosevelt was there, but the latter sent a message in which he urged independent ac tion by states in purely local and intrastate matters and the right of the states to this independent action, which means that if Mr. Roosevelt is nominated as the next Democratic candidate for President he will stand on the Tammany platform. What that platform will be had clear illus tration in the tone of Senator Copiland's speech. That poten tial 'eader of Tammany Went so far as to intimate war over prohibition, for he made flat declaration that "in the geo graphical divisions on prohibi tion were similar to that which existed on slavery, there woulii I be danger of another civil war." Senator Copeland was followed by Senator Wagner who even more emphatically emphasized the Tammany view and deter, mination. The Tammany pro hibition platform does not at all jingle with that of the North i Carolina Democracy. J RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT ! WHEREAS; In the passing to the Life Trium phant of I MRS.

Our dear Saviour came and called her To that home forever fair, And she left us here so lonely But we'll meet her over there. She will meet us at the portal. And will know her children ther. Wo shall be with her forever; God's Eternal Love to share. We thank God she was a Christian ? Lived her life the best she knew, And we know some day we'll meet her, If to Jesus we'll be true. She has gone from earth to heaven; Gone to live with Christ above, Where no sorrow e'er can enter, All is peace and joy and love. Dearest mother, how we miss her, Since the Saviour called her home. Ah, we long to see our mother In that home some better day. When on ? toiling here over. And our roubles all shall cease. May we all ir, heaven meet And cast our crown j.t Jesu-' tV-t.

DREAMS I dreamt, last right about a house On which the ivy clung; A little house? a cozy house Where childish songs were sung. An;) from this house I dreamt about Two eyes j^azed into mine. Perhaps it's naught to talk about ? But those two eyes were thine! So I have come today, my love. To ask if it be true ? The message that they spoke, my love ? That I belong to you? For f it be, then stuff of dreams Must surely be divine; And we shall seek the house of dreams Whence your eyes promised mine. Contributed by IMA PARKER.

When 1 turned seventy' three years ago and 9 Win. LEE KELLETT rneumatic pains hit me all over and I had to use a cane to get about. I realized I was in a 'bad way.' I went on a strict diet for two years, and took medicines regularly for my stomach and constipation. Nothing helped me until I started Sargon. I haven't a sign of rheumatism now, never have to use my cane any more and my feet and legs are as good as they were 20 years ago. Sargon Pills regulated me perfectly.
