VOLUME XXXVI
BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA, FEBRUARY 12, 1931
FEDERAL AID MAY
i BE HELD UP HERE
? .
T^porti and Affidavits Filed at
Washington as to Un
fair Methods
? ?<>
Disturbing news comes out of
Washington to the effect that much of
the Federal Highway aid to the state
may be withheld, for a time at least,
while further investigation is made
of the many charges that some state
highway bosses are playing petty pol
iticji with road funds, it is kn'..vnj
taftf many affidavits have been filed
av Washington from men wh > have
been denied work on highway.-; simply
because they belonged to u policies!
party other than that in charge of
the highway work here.
One high official in Washington has j
said that the government's intention j
was two-fold: To aid in highway con- j
struction, and to give employment to j
men needing work. It was not the
intention of the government for any
group to take these funds and play
Detty, peanut politics with them, it is
said.
Some of these affidavits are said to
be most pathetic in nature, showing
that men have been refused work on
the roads, although their families
were on starvation, while other fel
lows have been given regular employ- j
many of them being single men and
not being in particular need of the 1
work.
The state stands to lose, it is said,
quite a sum from the amount ot (
federal aid that would come to North (
Carolina, unless this narrow, un- ,
American, heartless, hateful practice ,
is stopped. One official said that j
North Carolina is the only state in .
the union from which such charges']
have been received; that in no other ,
state are there men who have stooped (
to this low method of playing dirty
politics with hungry men and hungry 1
families. j
Affidavits have beer, filed concern- t
ing conditions said to exist here, af- <
fecting even the individual work of (
the government, as to the activities of j
some men in connection with the job j
in the Pisgah National Forest. Some ;
of these affidavits are said to contain (
the information that certain men in j
Brevard have been designated to se- s
lect those who are given jobs on the j
government work, although those .
Brevard men are in nowise connected I
with the government control <}t *
Pisjrah National Forest. These affi
davits are said to further charge that i
rank discrimination has been made in
selection of men for the jobs in the
Forest. Investigation, it is said, has
been quietly going on for some time,
and interesting developments are ex-,
pected in the immediate future.

EXPECTING BANK
REPORT SATURDAY
Report of the bank examiners and
their auditors as to the condition of
the Brevard Banking company is ex
pected to reach Brevard Saturday or
Monday. The report has been in Ral
eigh for the past two weeks, being
checked by the officials there. Upon
its receipt here, the community will
know whether it is possible to go
ahead with plans for re-opening the
institution. Everything is in reodi
ness to push these plan: to completion
in event the condition of the bank is
such a s to warrant its resumption of
business.
Mr. W. W. Woodley, Jr., liquidating
agent of the bank, will receive the
report, and file a copy with the clerk
of the court, according to the regular
procedure in such matters. Many cit
izens are anxiously awaiting this re
port, recognizing the fact that the
immediate future of the community
largely depends upon the facts that
will be disclosed in this report. It is
hoped that the report will be such as
to show the bank to be solvent, to
the end that little difficulty will be
experienced in re-opening the institu
tion.
COTTON MILL WORK
SHOWS progress!
Much hard work is being done on
completing the plans for starting the

manry service for the community, and

,vill be made next Saturday, when
Mr. B. E. Geer is expected in Bre
vard, and a date announced when ac
:ual operations will begin.
It has long been realized that re
iumption of operations of this indus
:ry is one of the most important
:hings that could be done for the
.'ommunity, hence the splendid work
>f those who were charged with com
peting the arrangements. Citizens
nterested in Brevard and her people

Governor Gardner's Highway Plan Should
Be Adopted, and Stikeleather Should Be
Retained on State Highway Commission.
The Brevard News is convinced that the plan outlined
by Governor Gardner, in which it is proposed that the state
take charge of all public roads, doing away with local road
boards and county control of road work, is the very best
thing that could be adopted by the state. We hope the
legislature will adopt this plan.
We also believe that James G. Stikeleather, present
member of the State Highway Commission, should be j
named on the new commission to have charge of this road
j work. Mr. Stikeleather knows the road situation in West
i ern North Carolina, and is intensely interested in the whole I
| section. He is capable, fair, sincere, honest and honorable,
j and could, we believe, render more real service to the
whole Western section than any other man in the state. |
Activities of the Legislature Reach J
Boiling Point In Statewide Interest
Brevard News Bureau
Raleigh, Feb. 11
Representative Henry's bill, de
creasing the number of county com
missioners of Transylvania county
from five to three, passed its third ;
reading in the Senate last Thursday
and was enrolled. It had already
passed the House. The bill will be
come the law when it is ratified and
signed by Speaker Willis Smith, of
the House, and President R. T. Foun- '
tain, of the Senate.
Whether to enlarge or abolish the j
State Highway Patrol is being j
threshed out by the Roads committees
of House and Senate, following a
public hearing Wednesday. A bill to
abolish the patrol has been intro
duced, while another, with provision
for a $1 drivers license and a $5
chauffeurs license to support it,
would increase the number to 150 or j
200. Indications are that the patrol ,
will be continued, and probably in
creased, but probably not more than j
to 75 or 100 members at most.
Brevard News Bureau
Raleigh, Feb, 11
Although the normal session time
is about half gone, not more than 35
or 40 bills, practically all of them
local, have completed their ? course ?
and been ratified. Bills introduced in
the Senate exceed 160, while in the i
House the number of above 360. Com- ,
mittees are hard at work, however,
and floor debates are expected to ;
reach full swing this week. Appropri :
itions commttees have heard all de
partments, institutions and agencies ;
seeking more money on which to op
:rate, while Finance committees have
had protests from many groups seek
ing to have reduced tax rates sug
gested in the Revenue bill. It is the ?
usual conflict of those wanting more
money and those wanting to pay less.
Four of Governor Gardner's meas
ures have reached the hopper. The
state purchasing agent bill introduced '
Monday night provides for a commis- 1
sion, of one from the educational and ,
sne from the charitable, correctional
and penal institutions, an engineer of
the Highway department and a direc- ,
tor of purchase and contract, as1
chairman, who shall purchase all ma
terials, supplies, equipment and ser
vices of all state departments, insti
tutions and agencies on a competitive
upen bid basis. Another bill creates
the office of Commissioner of Bank
ing as a separate department, taking
that function from the Corporation i
Commisson. Another e.stablshes a
Commission of Personnel and a direc
tor, enlarging the duties of the pres
ent Salary and Wage Commission,
making it more of a civil service, and
extending it to the counties, cities
and towns. Another bill introduced
would create a commission composed |
of two senators and three representa
tives. Previously the Gardner bill,
calling for a Constitutional Conven
tion in 1933 to adopt a new constitu
tion, had been introduced.
Another sales tax bill, gross sales >
tax, aimed largely at the chain stores,
graduating the tax from $15 on an- ,
nual sales of $20,000 or less to $300 |
on sales up to $300,000, above which
an additional one per cent license tax |
would be imposed, has joined the
nearly a dozen sales tax bills now
with the Finance committee. They
will await consideration until disposi
tion has been made of the Budget
Revenue Bill.
Two bills involving changes in the
Constitution have been introduced.
One would provide for electing sher
iffs and coroners for four years, in
stead of for two years, and electing a
constable for each township every
two years. The other would change
the Constitution so no county would
have more than one Senator in the
General Assembly. This would de
prive Guilford and Mecklenburg of an
additional Senator each, on the basis
of the recent census.
Other bills of general interest in
troduced last week follow
To establish the 55-hour week as a .
maximum for labor and prohibit em- j
ployment of women and children at
night; to prevent employment of chil
dren under 1G in dangerous places: |
to fix the state of paupers coming in- j
to this state, requiring three-year res- ?
idence before they may become
charges of the state, unless they wer>- 1
self-supporting when they came ; to
make it a misdemeanor for mothers !
to abandon children under 16 years ?
of age, whether legitimate or illegiti-j1
mate.
Workmen' 8 Compensation Act j
Abolish the present act and enact a ?
new law, eliminating the state, coun-'j
titfc, cities and towns from its provis- j
ions, as well as private establish- j
ments employing not more than 25 ! j
persons, if employers and employers j
agree; allow an injured person to t.- ^
lect his own physician.

POTATO MEETING
DRAWS BIG CROWD
With a large number of interested '
farmers attending, the meeting held [
in the Rosman school building Tues-|
day flight for the purpose -of studying!
pota.j growing proved to be one of
the most interesting gatherings of its '
kind ever held. Prof. J. F. Corbin,
teacher of vocational agriculture in
the Rosman schools, planned th^ ,
meeting and presided at the session. ,
The Durposp of the meetings is t?
bring abut a great increase in the j
acreage yield of Irish potatoes in
Transylvania county. The goal is to
reach the productive point of 400
bushels to the acre. Reports were
made by the farmers Tuesday night
who have already been garnering as
high as 280 bushels of potatoes to cho
acre. '
Another meeting is to be held ne>
Tucsda.v evening, and all interested
farmers are urged to attend and take*
part in these meetings. It is clearly
shown that this increased yield can '
be realized, and all efforts are to be '
made to reach the 400 bushel goal. \
BOYLSTON ROAD IS I
TOWN'S NEXT GOAL
i
T ransylvania county has its finest , 1
opportunity just now to have tlv '
Boylston road paved to the Hender- '
son county line, on account of wh;
is ?-aid to be the government's desire 1
to build trails from this road I'm :.' 1
nto and through the Pisgah National '
Forest. It is said by those who ar- '
n position to know, that the govern- '
nent is anxious for this paving '
je done, as the Boylston road skirts <
;he Pisgah National Forest from the >
Brevard entrance to the park almost:'
;o Aslic-ville.
Plans are now being made for a 1
ioint meeting of Brevard men with J
Hendersonville Chamber of Com- 1
nerce, or the Hendersonville Mer- ,
rhants association, when an effor; i
vill be made to enlist that town's j
support in having this road work j
lone. It has been charged that Hen
lersonville has opposed the complc- '
tion of this road work by the state. r
Hany citizens here do not believe that ?
rlenderson county citizens would take *
iuch position, hence the determina- |
ion to have a joint meeting with the *
:itizens of the sister county, and J
hresh the matter out. 1

WASTE IS SHOWN
IN HIGHWAY WORK :
? . ?*
Reasons Advanced for Adop
tion of Governor Gard
ner's Road Program
i *
Raleigh, Feb. 11. ? The opponents
of Governor Gardner's road bill are
last ditch fighters. This bill inter
feres with many plans and existipg
arrangements. It affects many "pre- ?
rogatives" and might upset many -
road machinery and bridge relation
ships. The counties and road dis
tricts last year spent $1,375,000 on ?
equipment expense and used '$908,000
in one year for gasoline, oil and
grease. It cost the counties an aver
age of $515.00 for each prisoner on
the county chain gangs, while the '
state supported, in 26 camp- of the
state, prisoners under uniform super- -
vision and balanced food at a cost of
$279.00 per prisoner. Tne governor's
bill takes county prisoners and chain
gangs off the taxpayers of the county
and relieves the county of the burden ?
of maintenance and support. In ono
township in North Carolina last year,
out of a total tax levy of $2,400,
$1,400 was paid in salaries, per diem '
and overhead, leaving considerably
less than one half of the lew avail
able for actual working and improv
ing the roads. It is clear the county
road authorities did not know, to any
degree of accuracy, the number of
miles of county roads in North Caro
lina, for the reason that in 1928 they
reported 66,000 miles, when as a mai
mer of fact the road actually sur
veyed and mapped totaled only 44,090
niles, and the map showing the ac
tual mileage and its location was .
iigned by the road engineer. ?uperin- ?
indent, or other officials in every
:ounty of the state, except two, as
jeing substantially correct, both as to .
nileage and location.

ANNIVERSARY OF
BOY SCOUTS IS HELD
-
Basing his remarks on Tennyson's
mmortal lines: "Be loyal to the royal
n thyself,'' Rev. R. L. Alexander,
3astor of the Brevard Presbyterian
:hurch, delivered a wonderful sermon
it the Methodist church Sunday eve
ling. The service was in commem
>ration of the 21st anniversary of the
Boy Scout movement which is being
>bserved this week throughout the
[Jnited States.
Rev. Mr. Alexander gave praise to
f. A. Miller, scoutmaster of the Bre
rard troop, declaring that the seivice
rendered by "Capt. Fred," as he is
iffectionately known to the local
3cout troop, could not be enumerated
in dollars and cents. His, the speaker
said, was a labor of love, time taken
From his business; money expended,
enumerable duties that go to make up
i real scoutmaster.
Taking as his scripture basis, Paul's
second letter to Timothy. The able
speaker who is assistant scoutmaster
Df the local troop, declared that he be
lieved Paul to have been one of the
very first scoutmasters and Timothy
his first trooper, forerunners of the
great movement that means so much
in tfys character building of the
young manyhood of today. He liken
ed the recommendations of Paul to *
Timothy as the rules of the present
day Scout standards. The service
c'osed with the uniformed troop '
standing and repeating the Stf^ot
Oath.
