Dr. Marion Inge, connected with the Alabama Power company, with headquarters in Mobile, is spending several weeks at the Franklin Hotel. Mrs. Inge is with him while their son is at Camp Carolina. Dr. and Mrs. Inge came here the first of July, accompanying their son to the camp. After a few days, Dr. and Mrs. Inge went to Atlantic City, where the heat was intense, and from there they started to Canada. Dr. Inge stated that the further they traveled the hotter it got, until one day they decided to turn around right in the middle of the highway and come back to Brevard, where they could have real rest and enjoy life. Dr. Inge asserts that North Caro lina will soon be the richest state in the nation. It now has the most , progressive spirit of any state in the nation, he says, and predicts that another fifteen years will place the Old North State at the head of the column in wealth. He attributes this rapid progress to the sensible treat ment accorded capital. He is struck with the fact that there are no "corporation baiters" in North Car olina. Dr. Inge deplores the fact that in his native state of Alabama there are men and influences fan ning the flame of suspicion and hate lor all corporations, and pays North Carolina great tribute for its welcome and sympathetic assist ance rendered all capital wanting to come into this state. Because of these things, the Alabamian says, capital will just naturally come here in ever increasing amounts, until North Carolina will be the very cen ter of wealth, insofar as invested capital is concerned. It is hoped to have Dr. Inge ad dress the Kiwanis club while he is here, when the business men of the town can hear the big power official tell of the high regard which othei sections and states have for North Carolina. WHEN RAPE CROSSES THE MASON AND DIXON LINE, ~ LYNCHING FOLLOWS. Our neighbors on the upper side ' of the Mason and Dixon line have said some rather harsh things about the folks "down South" who persist in lynching negroes when negroes commit rape upon white women. Many missionaries and many mil lions of dollars have been used by our earnest friends of the North to J convince us that we should not, un fder any circumstances, take the law into our own hands, and lynch a hu man being. We have known all along that lynching is not the right J thing to do, but somehow, when a ^ white woman was brutally attacked >y a negro, and her frail form be come as clay in a negro's raving, ravishing, passion-fired moment, our people simply forgot what ought to be done and what ought not to be done, and went out and hung the brute. let's see how it works up above the Mason and Dixon Last week some negroes shot white man, took his sweetheart from him, an outrage upon her. were placed in the Mar jail. That night sev thousand white men, constitut exactly the same kind of a mob quickly gathers on like occa in the South, and this mob the jail, overpowered the took two of the negroes out court house lawn, and lynched much the same manner that things have been done in the for a long time. Nor is this only lynching in recent past va section above ??? 'dividing not gloating over these We are simply calling atten the fact that wherever there of white women by negro is a lynching, be it in the Worth, East or West. And that white men will stop negroes when negro men ng white women ? and not ooner. SPLENDID STORY OF THE SUCCESS OF L. L. JENKINS. ' Gaatonia and Asheville newspapers j ?ve accounts last week of the ; growth of banks in Gastonia and Asheville under the able manage ment of L. L. Jenkins, for the past several years a resident of Ashe ville.- Mr. Jenkins started in the banking business nearly forty years ago and has been connected in an official capacity with many banks in the western part of the state. " long career in this business has car ried him through many periods o business and financial depression, and it is a boast of his friends that no institution with which he has been connected has ever experienced any difficulty in meeting obligations. It was an interesting article which appeared in the newspapers. ( But we know a much more in*?r" j esting story about the life of Mr. Jenkins than that dealing with his great ability as a banker and finan cier. We have been with him when his great ability was devoted causes other than that of making money, and witnessed his appear ance on scenes where his financia and banking companions resented his presence and condemned most bitterly his activities. We have seen him take a stand with the working men and women against their em ployers, and use all of his great in fluence in behalf of those who most need it, and the jeers of his fellows in the field of finance made no dent upon his determination to see justice done. We have seen L. Jenkins reac for his check book even before the trembling lips of the troubled man could frame the words of an appea for help, and fill out an hand to that helpless soul a substantial check that meant bread and meat and milk and butter for the hungry children in that mans cheeiless home. We have been with him when the bent form of a once beautiful wo man stood before him whose very appearance told the story of how youth and beauty had been sacri ficed upon the altar of mother-love as she slaved over wash tub and scrubbing brush to eke out a living for the little brood which had bee left fatherless, their sole depend ence being the small earnings of that frail form. We watched him write a check, tear it out and tear it up. and write another check - two, three, four times the amount of the first one. We have heard him tell charity i workers to see to it that no one suf i fered because of lack of fuel when 1 the wintry winds were blowing and ' the streets were all covered with ice i "Send the coal to them, and send the i bills to me"? was his way of doing ? his bit. We have been in meetings when "drives" for patriotic or charity purposes were being planned, and ?always it was the name of L. L. Jenkins that headed the list oi "prospects,' because he never failed to respond. ' L. L. Jenkins has but few real friends in the circle of society in which his position as a financier places him. The per centage of Pharisees in that circle Is so great that there is little room for friend ships. The holier-than-thou spirit is so rampant there that one fault in a man blinds these Pharisees to every great virtue that he might possess. But go with us out among the poor of the state, the needy, the unfortunates, and we can take you to many thousands of friends whose prayers every day contain a peti tion to God to bless L. L. Jenkins for his timely aid to them when there seemed to be no aid from any other source on earth. Of course, L. L. Jenkins is a great banker ? but he is much greater as a benefactor. 1 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PLAN GROWING OBSELETET Brother Lylee Harris, of The ' Franklin Press, and Brother Sea well, of The Waynesville Mountain- j eer, and other editors around and about, are making pleas to their respective communities for support of the Chamber of Commerce. ' Warnings are issued in these papers that there is but little real support for their community organizations. Brevard can join these brethern in tuneful accord in the song of in- ( activity in Chamber of Commerce work. j We're just wondering if the old Chamber of Commerce plan of ' community activities is not passing into the discard. If so, what will ' take the place of a central body, or!. organization, for carrying on cora-|, munity work? It would seem that , 1 some kind of concerted community j effort is necessary, if communities , are to make any advancement at all. < But this fact remains no small group ' in a town can force the Chamber of j Commerce work upon the men of a community. If this volunteer work for community advancement is to prove worth while, it must be vol untarily done. Just what the small town can do to attract industry, new citizens, ' new capital, without some kind of a central body trough which to work, is the problem facing Western North Carolina today. If people will not work together in a Chamber of Com merce, or in some kind of concerted activity, they must suffer the con sequences. This is not a one man day. No one man in a community can prosper, while the rest of the fellows suffer. The only chance any one man has in any one community to make progress, is to have a pro gressive community. If we have reached the stage where we just be dadburned if we are going to have a Chamber of Commerce, then let some one with some vision make suggestion as to the next best thing to do. It is a fact that if a community is to make progress, the men of that commun ity must work together. feLix alley, orator. POET, (PHILOSOPHER, ON HIS BELOVED MOUNTAINS. The Hon. Felix Alley, born and reared in the shadow of Whiteside Mountain, from foot of which he has risen to a place high in the es teem of his friends and in the councils of leadership, went "back home" the other day, and after a visit to the scenes of his childhood Mr. Alley wrote the following beau tiful story: A few days ago, in company with my youngest son and Reverend W. L. Hutchins, Pastor of the Methodist Church at Waynesville, I went back to the old home and scenes of my childhood at the base of Whiteside Mountain, in the Southern part of Jackson County, where my parents lived together for fifty-nine years, and where their ten children were born and reared . 1 We went to the top oi' Whiteside, which rises 5,000 feet above the level of the sea, and stood upon the rugged cliffs and crags forming that towering mountain, subdued and toned in their gigantic grandeur by the blue haze that is ever present in the Blue Ridge Range. In the days agone, I have often times stood upon those majestic heights* at day-break, and looking to ward the East, have watched the sombre drapery of the clouds roll up like a scroll from the rim of the hor izon, as the red torch of the Morn ing enkindled upon the stainless crests of a thousand hills a line of crimson fires, and sent forth ten thousands shafts of light to herald the coming of God of the Day. I have 3tood there when the shad ows of the coming darkness were falling around me, and I have seen the Evening hang her silver crescent on the brow of Night, and emulate and equal the awakening glory of the Dawn with the beauty of the sleepy Twilight. I have ttood there in the Winter time at Midnight, and listened sor rowfully to the ice-laden winds as they signed through the dismantled forests, ani watched the snow-fields glistening in the Moonlight like foam-flacked billows in a stormy sea, while a million Stars of Hope flashed back the promise that the soft balmy nir and the gentle rains of spring time would come again, and renew the splendors of our beautiful moun tain world. I have stood there in the summer time at noon-day, a thousand feet above the clouds, and watched the thunder-storm beat mercilessly upon the primeval trees in the rich valley below, as these giant monarchs of the forest, whitened with the snows of a hundred winters, streched forth their mighty arms and struggled with the wild and relentless fury of the winds; when the lightning flash ed against the sky with forked flame, and the very earth rocked and trembled beneath the angry roar of the musketry of the winds and ;he artillery of the skies. And then I have seen the dark itorm clouds break away and dis appear while the evening sun hung every shrub and bush and blossom with jewels more brilliant than the choicest diamonds found in South Afrcian and Brazilian mines; and then as the great Orb of the day passed behind the Western hills, the world appeared to be encircled with ineffable beauty as God's beautiful Rainbow of Promise gleamed softly luminous behind the thunder-bolts, and caused the hearts of all who saw to beat high with hope. We then went to the site of the old home-stead in the valley. A quarter of a century ago it passed into other hands, and I had not seen it for more than a score of years. When I stood upon the spot where I first saw the light, and where my ( childhood and youth and early man hood were spent, i?y so?' wo- filled with a sadness unspeakable as I be held tb? :hanges which Time had wrought. Most of the old home had been torn away and a new and more mod ern building erected in its place. New fields had been cleared, and most of those in which I had plowed and hoed and reaped and sung the harvest song, had been discarded and allowed to grow up in a forest of quick growing trees, now more than i dozen years of age. But the little, spring is still there, pouring out from a crevice in a solid rock, and from its ice-cold rrystal waters I quenched my thirst *s I was wont to do in the happy lays of the long ago. And Norton's Fork, the West ' >rong of the beautiful Chattooga Siver. is stiil there, fresh from the heart of Whiteside, fed by a hundred babbling springs forming snow white cascades gushing forth from the mountain's side and then spread ing out into a smooth limpid rivulet winding; its silver course gently through the fields, causing the grass in the meadows to grow green, the flowers to burst into bloom, ana the earth to quickly respond to the pur suasive touch of labor. I stood on its grassy banks and j bathed in the bright June sunlight, j and drank my fill of the pure raoun- 1 tain air, and watched the speckled ? trout flutter and play in the depths | and Bhallows of the stream, and once | more I listened to its never-ending song as it flowed on in its eternal journey to mingle its music with the ( murmuring anthem of the sea. Wo next went to the little ceme tery on the hill where my brothers and sisters and father and mother are sleeping; and as I stood by their graves Memory lifted her veil and carried me back through the shad ows of the vanished years, and re called a thousand instances of the loyalty and love of the brothers and sisters who dwell in this slient little City of the Dead; and the June wind, blowing gently from the West, bore upon its wings the echoes of a Father's Counsel and a Mother's prayer spoken in the years that are gone, by lips that now are closed with the seal of the eternal silence. And then in the gathering twi light of the evening, as I turned to leave that place of sacred recollec tions and eternal repose, I saw the Evening Star, emblematic of the Star of Hope, twinkling brightly i above the horizon, and as I closed the gates of the little cemetery be hind me it seemed to me that I could hea'r the strains of distant 1 music and the gentle rustle of un seen wings. And I thought of the lofty anthem and promise of life eternal uttered i by the Man of Gallilee more than nineteen centuries ago: "I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live ^ and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." A LETTER FROM AN OLD CITIZEN Editor The Brevard News: I Will you allow me space in your paper for a few lines? 1 am a con stant reader of your paper nnd am very much interested in the same. Natuvally so, as I am a native of your county, although I have been away for some 29 years. I have, however been back three times on visits to relatives and friends, and | expect to be back aguin soon to sec my dear old Dad, M. L. Hamilton, nnd other relatives and friends as well. Of course, I believe I have many friends nnd acquaintances in your county. | Now, what is most striking to rat is your form of government. There are two specific questions wortli while, in the consideration of every citizen of your county. First, in reference to your county purchasing agent, which is. beyond doubt, oni of the best methods ever introduced in any county or municipality. It takes, or is supposed to do, the ta> payers' money out of politics, which means so much to the county. You might infer from this that 1 am a tax payer there. Well. 1 am. on ' e small scale. Nevertheless, I would be impressed just the same with this matter. This method is being adopt, ed all over the country. Now that you have it, co-operate and keep it, regardless of your political affilia tions. Second, in reference to your (sys tem of choosing your candidati'?. 1 note that the republicans still have the old system of holding conven tions. The democrats have the pri mary system, which all modern muncipaiities have. Why not the re publicans as well That would save double expense. I was much pleased to note the present supervisors had !cut your budget for 1930. More j power to them. But don't cripple | your shools to do so. Just imagine, ;Our school tax alone here in San Francisco is $57 per capital school children, and there is not much complaint at that Transylvania has a wonderful good class of citizens, other than their politics which they carry to extremes. I found from observation that 90 per cent of the Southern boys who leave there, and come here, soon lay aside their pet ty politics and vote for the man in whom they have the greatest confi dence. They expect the man to serve the best interests of their county. The great majority of vot ers here pay absolutely no attention to politics except on national affairs. Then they may vote republican, al though it is conceded that California elected Wilson in 1916. Allow me to make a still broader assertion. If the voters in the Southern states should divide their politics and be an honest to good ness doubtful section, the lords at Washington would do something for you folks down there, in the way o* appropriations for improvements and so on, such as dredging, coursing waterways, draining swamps and so on. But as it is at present they will give you nothing for these purposes. The doubtful states are the ones that make congress sit up and take notice. Now, fellow-citizens, may I im press this upon you: the importance of voting for the man, and not jusl for the party. Success for The News and all citi zens of Transylvania county. FURMAN C.
