Readers of The Charlotte Ob ?erver are taking issue with that great newspaper because of recent editorials in which The Observer ?barged that the present, depression is in large measure the result of Mental attitude of the people. The Observer is right, absolutely so. course, there are many angles to ifoe situation, or condition, yet most ?? this depression is due entirely to flw fact that we have talked hard tif .: until we have hard times. Whenever people stop buying thm.' s, then factories curtail at fir: ., finally ceasing activities alto gether. When factories stop, wages atop, when wages stop, suffering be gins. W,- k !i merchant in this town who ii to start the hard times tare, and that right in his own store. A umn had entered this store for the purpose of buying a suit of clothes. Me passed the time, of day with the piwhant. and courteously asked about business. The merchant re ptied with a harangue about dull ?*vip.e>>. and predicted that the llu- country was in for a long siege t*? stagnation and starvation. Di re*.^ this would-be customer left, returned home, handed his wife the forty dollars with which he had in tended to buy a suit of clothes, and mid her that she must save that forty dollars and he would go with iu vv -????**? ; ' : . * vv',a^'s matter?

Multiply this one case by several mtUions, and a blind man can see the disastrous results that are bound to follow.

We art' so accustomed to singing the praises of statesmen, politicians, warriors ami financial wizar^j^S-h^t many heroic lives in othet Km/ of endeavor are permitted acro>- t!u> stage of Time unnoticed, tnii her?i(- acts and activities , of tefa go by without record. We look in to air, and ai'e thrilled with the ac ?ettmplishments and achievements ,of the man who sails an airplane ttf new record, and when he comes to earth* again we bow down before him .and ?worship at his shrine, many ,of us doing it simply because the crowd ' is there, and we, being still in the fcerd stage, go where the crowd is md do what the crowd l's do'm^. We sit in the picture houses and are 1 thritfed with the picturization , of. 1 Marine: deeds us seen- on ihe-.ss6r?eit ' in the world of ma^e-bel_ieve! . All about us, however. , are _men 1 and women in reai "iife,^do|ng re^l things, rendering real servlee-,vgwu- : ine service, but so eomihorfpl?Tc,e la 1 it that we pay it no atteationV ' At the meeting of the"' JKiwanfc ilub last Thursday two '.young ? men 5 were":.telling. the. members- of the } dubf afrmit the bigtilss- of the Boy ,-t Scout Movement, what -it i? 'doTing r for the -bogSj< i)as meant to .I the men of - tSVfaormv. The Scout ( I "Oi ust "btT olaairi-. i n ^Jody and mind; he , c iuust i>?* honest; he must be cour. ^ g teous ; he must serve others, in that ( a le is called upon to do at least ens I a :ood turn each day; he must know Jed, through the study of God's reation ? the trees, the birds, and ill the things that go to make up hi3 perfected creation. The Scout movement has meant so nuch to the boys of Brevard, the foung men said, and has paved the >vay from boyhood days into the new estate of manhood which every boy must enter. Better men will be the result of this Boy Scout Move ment's influence upon the lives of the boys. At the conclusion of the splendid talks by the young men, Mark Tay lor Orr, the last speaker, said: . "And, gentlemen, we owe so much to Mr. Fred Miller, our leader. With out him our troop could not have been in existence. Whatever good that has come to us, we owe it to Mr. Miller." What greater praise could man desire? What bigger work could man do? True it is that this activ ity of a Brevard man may never be written on a page of the world's history, nor his picture placed in the hall of fame; no accumulation of wealth as represented in houses and land, stocks and bonds, will result from this activity. But in the hearts of the boys and young men of this community, in their finer lives and cleaner souls the work and influence of Fred Miller will live for centur ies after our politicians shall have been forgotten, and the gains in sordid wealth in this generation shall have rusted away. NQ *{?ED TO GET MAD ... ABOUT EVERYTHING. Every once in a while some citi zen, and usually it is some good friend, will not like something that is published in The Brevard News. Then he gets ever so angry, and in stead of talking the matter over in a friendly way, making suggestions which we always appreciate, he comes in a mood of anger, and starts talking in the angriest kind of tones and acting in a most belliger ent manner, whatever that is. No use pi that. We always ap preciate constructive criticism. Wc publish the news as best we can gel it. We do not expect it to please everybody. Some of the stuff we feel that ought to be published makes us just as mud fls everything, and we often wish we didn't have to TOpblish it. But it belongs to the [ijBblie, such information does, and SriM. no^ ou^ s'mP'y be jffingjlt I? not pleasing to us or to gSj&jjcular one of our subscrib there is no use getting matPabout the thing. Write out what you think about the matter, and let us publish it over your signa ture. We do not intentionally or purposely hurt "any one's feelings. We do not claim to know it all. Per haps your opinion about a certain matter is far superor to ours. Then at least make an effort to convince us that we're wrong, and you're right. That is much the better way than getting mad and trying to bulldoze somebody about something. We've always resented bulldozing. OUTSIDE FOOD BROUGHT IN; LAND VALUES DRQP. In two separate articles released last week for publication there is close connection, such as cause and effect. One article, based upon the the federal census report, shows that land values in North Carolina de creased to a greater extent than that of any other Southern state. The other article, based upon the figures compiled by the commerce department, shows that North Caro lina bought $180,000,000 worth of food stuff last year that was grown in other states. In other words, one hundred and eighty million dollars of North Carolina money was sent out of the state for food that was grown in other states. Is it any wonder that farm land values decreased in North Carolina? Can you imagine the changed conditions had this one hundred and eighy millions of dollars been spent with the farmers of North Carolina? There are one hundred counties in the state, and this huge sum of f 180,000,000 divided among the 100 counties, would mean one mil ion eight hundred thousand dollars .6 the farmers of each county. When, in the name of common lense, will- North Carolina stop en ?icjiirtg. -other states, and feed her wn people from her own farms. In lo other state in the union can there >e grown the diversified crops that , >forth Carolina produces. Nearly j everything that is grown, can ;?c ;rown in North Carolina. There is . solution to this problem, there is ! GOOD FOR US TO MEET THE OXFORD CHILDREN. I People who love little children j miss much when they fail to attend ) the concert, given each year, by the 1 class from the Oxford Orphanage, j Masonic institution. Aside from the | splendid concert numbers rendered, and the enjoyment of the program itself, there is a finer joy and greater good coming to each and ev ery one in such an audience. Men and women in the audience ^ look upon the boys and girls of the class, as the concert begins and ? throughout the performance, in the knowledge that they are looking up on those whose fathers or mothers, or both in some instances, have been taken away forever. The thought then comes to the man in the audience: "What if I had died, and my own precious boy were in that gepujp," or "what if my little girl ^ijL|^n placed in that group, ?HWBwny death," and then it is that the most tender love comes to the surface, the finest feelings there are in men and women rise above all the base or selfish or hateful thoughts which might have been in one's mind a few ours previous to this moment. Somehow a man goes back home after these concerts, more conscious of the mercy and goodness of God in being permitted to still be at home, with one's own loved ones. There is a deeper love for one's own chifc dren, and a finer reverence for the children of all men, when one has been brought face to face with the fact thut had it not been for God's own me/fiey and kindness, one's own n would be fatherless, and they, too, would be in some concert, or some kind of an institution, being cared for by others. I While support of these children is a great help to them, the blessing that comes to the one who helps is ever greater. No one ought to miss an opportunity of spending an hour with these little ones. It does one so much good. A STATESMAN SPEAKS ON lNDUSTfRJfM^ SOUTH. P. IT. bip employer of labor in his Louisville, Ky., factory, was speaking Thursday night at Blue Ridge before the Conference 011 Human Relations in Industry, and uttered words and warnings that ?<? employers and leaders should study. He was speaking on the subject. "Where Is Southern Industry Head ed?" and said, in part: "It is only in the light oi prin ciples fundamental to human, nature and written by our finer instincts in the hearts of all men, that industr> business, politics, government, or ? other activities of life in society can be started on the way toward permanent and lasting achievemen ? Kvery business enterprise must pay a wage sufficient to support a man ur.d his family in frugal comfort an-1 actually should include enough 1<> insure comfort in old age. Ihe busi ness that cannot pay such a wage cannot be justified, is a hindrance to normal human relations, and by that token has no right to exist. "An allied principle rooted in the same fundamental is one that look" to the continuous employment'", the normal working force by which a business- is carried on. It is as nec essary to the worker and his family to have continuous employment as to have a living wage when he is employed, and so called living wage is miscalled if the employer feels free to discontinue he means of live lihood of workers in order to >n tinue to pay interest or dividends on money. No amount of future in dustrial or business development can justify this practice or excuse it on a large scale. , . ,, "Another principle rooted in the fundamental of decent human rela tions is the one that looks to the security of the aged and infirm workers who have spent their best | years in a given business, who nnder the present system often find them- ? selves ruthlessly dismissed to make I way for younger and stronger men. Through sound method of education and co-operation with employes this problem can be solved so as to bring _ about a normal degree of security | and comfort in old age for every person employed in the industry and faithful through the years. "It is hoped that the young giant of industry, that is just awakening in the South, come to a determined purpose tar- Improve the human re lations of life in society, and to make industry serve the lowest no less than the highest among the peo ple, so that ali of us may come to realize that true and lasting prog ress does not consist of persons get ting rich, but it consfow first in our own and then in the world s recognition of the personal dignity of a human being." These are the words of a states man and a Christian. This advice, if followed, would solve many prob lems that are now filling poor houses, jails and penitentiaries. This doctrine is the only one so far of fered that is an antidote for revolu tion. The trouble is that we have but a very few Callahans. The true value of horse sense is i clearly shown by the fact that the horse was afraid of the automobile i during the period in which the i pedestrian laughed r.t it, ? Louisvil.e , Tim;s. ? A WORD OF EXPLANATION it Sditor, The Brevard News: i I would like to say a word to my t Friend* through The Brevard News t is to a false report that is being cir- i :ulated through this community on J me. < It has been told by a party that < [ was found in a blockade still mak- ( ing liquor, which is absolutely false. ( He also told that I said "I would | not have been there had it not f been for helping the boys get started ' up.' 1 I just wanted to explain this to , my friends through The News, and i ask you to believe "no such stuff." 1 W.
