iTHE BREVARD NEWS , Published Every Wednesday by THE TRANSYUyANU PUBLISHING CO., Im. Katered at the Postoffico in Brevard, N. C., ai Second Claaa Mattar i James F. Barrett SUBSCRIPTION BATHS . (Payable in Adranca) One Yaar (IN Six If Jtha 1.N Three Months JW ; WEDNESDAY, JULY 16, 1930 PITY PAUL MELLON, THE POOR RICH BOY. Paul Mellon, son of the secretary ?f the treasury, and heir to $500,000,000 ? five hundred millions ?f dollars ? went to work last week, we are told in the great daily press, and started in to learn the banking business. He is now cpnnected with ?ne of hi* father's many banks, as fcis first school room in the university ?f finance. We believe his daddy is making a aiist.tfce. Young Mellon's first les ion ought to be a study of human natui ; , ami he ought to delve deep into world history, and especially oupV. he to give serious study to the revolutions of the world, the over throw of then existing orders, the drastic uction of oppressed peoples ?f the world in its several stages of history. This study would be of much greater importance to young Mellon than would be the study of interest charges, merger manipulations, con solidations, and so on. The eyes of the world are now apon (Ihandi, leader in the move ment to free India from the abso Intc domination of Great Britain. TJh- next battle to engage the atten tion of the world is to be staged right here in America. One hundred and fifty years ago -America was en gaged in the same conflict that India is bow staging. This nation was wresting the rights of American people to life, liberty and the pur aait of happiness from the British government, just as India is now doing. Through financial combinations, wergers, und so on, a few men in America have garnered unto them selv?? all these things so essential tc fcfc. liberty and the pursuit of hap piness. Old Man Rockefeller's son Henry Ford's son and Andy Mellon's son are heirs to fortunes that art staggering in their bigness. These wfth .< very few lesser lights, now control mure than three-fourths ot America's wealth, while the 122^ 000.000 Americans bandy about and go upon the remaining fraction of the nation's wealth. Does any one think for a moment that these con ditions will long prevail in this gr*at America? These huge fortunes are going to ke bursted into ten thousand partJ someday, in what way we, of course, i<i not know. But whatever it takes to turn the trick, is most assuredly going to be done, and that in a most thorough o;;snn<.r. It may come in the iurrao f political revolution, with a "new political party a's . he means; it joay wmt through e<i: cation and ligl.t thinl::ng and act * it may fume through bloodshed and vio! *ptev. i fAny one ought to !now that Aaaeric.i wiii not much linger sub mit t<> the sad spectacle of the rich growing richer and the pom- growing poorer, every day in every way. One day tin cry of a hungry child will be heaul above the whistle of the private yacht. Young Mr. Mellon's big job is to learn how to hold what he has, irathcr than studying plans for in creasing his holdings. He is young. The change is coming within his lifetime, taking it on the average. It may come before very many more years shall have passed. It ought to be here now. That this hot weather is world wide is evidenced in a letter received by a North Carolina lady from rela tives in Scotland, which tells ot the excessive heat there, and the long tome since rainfall has come to re lieve the .situation. If there is any eomfort to you in this knowledge, you are welcome to it. What is it in man's make-up which causes most of us to exper ience a sneaking, unspoken wish that Otto .Wood ;?.ay Ue able to cross the Mexican or Canadian line? Wood has made his fourth escape from the! pen, ai 'l i:- now the object of dili gent :iea:vh throughout the country. You won't admit it, of course, but deep down in your heart of heart? you arc hoping right now that Otto Wood will not be retaken. Winners never quit and quitters never win. TEXTILES SHOWING I GREATER ACTIVITY. Reports of the American Cotton Manufacturers association for June show decided improvement. During ( the month 198,539,009 yards ot standard cloths were manufactured, of which 92 per cent were sold in that month. Stocks on hand showed a decrease of over 19 per cent dur ing June, which is great encourage ment to the country. Another month or two like June, and stocks on hand will be disposed of, thereby making necessary resumption of ac tivities in this great industry. (Jt great Interest is the announcement that the big Statesville cotton mills have started in full blast, with or-' ders sufficient to run for six months. Day is breaking, the sun is rising, the clouds are passing away. Thank you, Mr. Commissioner*, for that 16 cent tax cut for 1930.' Now then, if the town of Brevard will make a reduction, and the in t fernal insurance companies will like wise reduce their exorbitant fire in surance rate, maybe a poor man will have a chance to live a while longer. State papers got all het up last week because a maniac forced his daddy out of the automobile, where upon said maniac, or crazy man, took the wheel and drove away. Wires and radios flashed the intelli gence that a maniac was loose upon the highways of North Carolina, driving a car. Why, that's nothing new. We see the dern things every day, whizzing around curves and passing other cars and blowing pedestrians out of the road with the wind they make in sailing through the air. Why get so excited over one poor maniac driving an automo bile? Surely we are accustomed to all that by now. England's labor government has issued orders that Earl Carroll, of New York, is not to be permitted to land oi> British shores. That is , good. Carroll, the New York theatr# i man, has no claim to distinction . other than his ability to parade young women across the stage in ? the more nearly nude state than any other show man, and get by with it. New York City is about the only place in the civilized world that Carroll would be lionized. Here's | hoping that other nations will re fuse this man admission, and that these refusals will arouse our own pleasure-mad nation to a sense ot common decency. FROM MRS. R. C. GALLOWAY Editor The Brevard News: I Will you please allow me space in your paper for a few words? We ? certainly do enjoy reading The Bre ivard News, for it is an excellent i paper, also, it is hearing the news ? , from "down home.' i 1 like to remember our old "Tar ! Heel" friends, many of whom will i read this, and want them to know i we still remember them all. i We have" been living in this state , over seven years, and naturally many l changes have taken place. Many remembered friends have gone on to their reward, and many of the youngstrs who were in the grades have finished high school and started out on the various occupa tions of life. I am very proud of the rapid ad vancement in Education that North Carolina is making and hope that each year will prove better than the one preceding. We like this state for many reasons, but especially the Educa , tional advantages. Our compulsory , .'chool law says that each child must finish high school, unless for special ? reasons the student must leave , school before receiving a diploma. It is eighteen miles to Ohio Uni versity, Athens, O., the oldest uni versity west of the Alleghanies, j having graduated its first class in i 1815. Its enrollment last year was nearly 4000. Our oldest son has just | finished his first year there, and our j daughter plans to enter the coming i year. Southeastern Ohio has several points of interest to history-loving 1 students. Last summer we motored ? a distance of sixty miles to Marietta, >n the Ohio River. We saw the : monument where the first governer of the Northwest Territory, Arthur St. Clair, took his oath of office. This monument is in the center of a beautiful park on the bank of the Muskingum River where it flows in to the Ohio. Next, we visited the original old Block House built by Gen. Putnam and others, and it is astonishing how well it has stood the weather, both fair and foul for these many, many years. The younger generation who have never seen the old-fashioned furniture which was used by our forefathers, would certainly see it all by going there. The house has six j rooms and each one is furnished ac cording to its use. I wish that I .could describe each piece of furni- j ture, but will only say, every one who has an opportunity, be sure to visit the place and you will not re gret the time spent. Marietta also, has the oldest Masonic Lodge west of the Alleghan ies. My hu band took his Past Mast er's Degree in that Lodge, and saw George Wf -H:n:rton's Masonic apron. American Union Lodge, No. 1, i* justly proud of having the fiiit ? p:" ident of the United States as one of its members. | Lancaster, Ohio, is another point of historical interest. Every.onel] who is a book-lover has read Zane'J Grey's works will remember when Lew "Wetzel all alone, killed as many of the Indians. We have been up on the mountain several times, but of course, it was more than we cared to risk to go ' down the side of the cliff into the cave where he hid himself and picked the Indians off as they tried to get him. The town of Lancaster is built at the foot of the cliffs, and . it, also, has a public park, and thous- 1 ands visit there every year. But. while all these things ape < ver yinteresting, and I am glad we i have had the opportunity of visiting ; 1 these and many other places in the < state, don't think for a moment < 1 that we have forgotten our dear old 1 1 North Carolina mountains in the* "Land of the Sky," for there is no ] place like "Home Sweet Home" and 1 home friends, and our greatest en-.1 joyment is making the trip South 1 for our vacation. The only drawback is, that if it happens to be rainy weather, we can : make the trip of more than 500 j miles on a hard-surfaced road, and : ge within a few miles of home and I have to wait for dry weather before I we can get through the mud. It seems to me it would be only fair to those taxpayers in the rural com munities to help them improve fheir i roads. Wishing you great success for The News, I am MRS. R. C. GALLOWAY. Glouster, 0. July IB, 1930. FROM MRS. NORTON 'Editor The Brevard News: I I flatter myself to believe I have 'friends who read The Brevard News that would like to hear from me, and | when I try to select some one to write to I think of so many that I decided to if you will give me space I in your paper to write them all. ' Will say in the beginning that I am having a delightful trip, the on ly drawback is the extreme heat. About the only comfortable place I have found is in a bath tub of cold water. 1 Little Rock is a pretty place al though I am surprised at the poorly kept grounds around the capitol building. I guess the extereme heat has something to do with it. i We, Mr. and Mrs. Guy Matheson and little daughters, Billie Jo, Mary and Martha and myself, have driven over a good portion of the city and also visited the construction work where Mr. Matheson is employed. They are building a concrete bridge nine hundred feet long. Some bridge believe me. 1 Mr. Matheson and his family will be located here until the job is com pleted which will take more than a year, he thinks, but I am leaving this week to visit other friends and relatives in the extreme western part of this state, Oklahoma and Missouri. Don't know just how long I will be away but sometime sooner or later I will land back in the old home town if I live. I Besft wifhes f^r the welfare of everybody in Transylvania. MRS. LEE F. NORTON.

MONTGOMERY WARD MAKES NEW POLICY rime Payment Plan Is Now In Effect To Continue Until September 15th It is announced elsewhere in this ssue of The Brevard News and in learly 900 leading newspapers hroughout the country, that Mont jomery Ward and Company, inaug irates one of the most unusual mer ihandising policies the country has iver seen, according to officials. An louncements have betti sent to the :ompany's ten million customers, elling them that from now until September 16, any item in the :ompany's catalogue or retail stores sxcept groceries, will be sold on Ward's time payment plan. Heretofore, the company has con Ined its time payment selling to iuch items as washing macnines, furniture; stoves, furnaces, etc., and in the face of present business con ditions with the general tightening of credit by most retailers, this ac tion on the part of Montgomery Ward and Company, is a significant mote. George E. Everitt, president of the company, in announcing the new policy, expresses tiie belief that there is plenty of money and pur chasing power in America una '.hit greater prosperity can be brought about by creating an inclination to buy on the part o 1 the public. Mr. Everitt points out that the average weekly payrol^if America today is conservatively Estimated at "'arht hundred and. forty million dollars, that the registered savings accounts in the country total over twenty seven billion dollars, and are stead ily increasing he added. "Yes, there is ample buying power and we believe that general business will improve when the buying pub lic is satisfied that retai! prices re flect the lower commodity levels. In our judgment, commodity prices are scraping bottom today and Mont gomery Ward and Company has placed and is placing orders for mil lions' of dollars worth of merchan dise at these new low levels. Months ago we cut prices accordingly, and again in the last sixty days have i made further reductions on such merchandise as piece goods, work clothing, plumbing supplies, etc." The latest move on the part of Montgomery Ward and Company, will be welcomed by business leaders and people everywhere. No doubt a move like this by Montgomery Ward and Company, with its far flung dis tributing organization of Mail Order Houses and Retai/ Stores in every part of the country, will have a de cidedly uplifting effect on business .prosperity, stated Mr. Everitt. | B. H. Martin, u manager of the Asheville store. Mr. Martin antici ; pates a great public response to the new policy which he put into effect jat the local store Thursday.
