THE BREVARD NEWS Pubished Every Thursday by THE TRANSYLVANIA PUBLISHING CO., Inc. Entered at the Postoffice in Brevard, N. C., as Second Clasa Matter James F. Barrett Editor SUBSCRIPTION BATES (Payable In Advance) One Year $2.00 Six Months 1.00 Three Months 60 Thursday, Sept. 24, 1931 COTTON ? CHILDHOOD'S CURSE AND THE SOUTH'S MOST DEADLY ENEMY. Governors of many states are de voting long days and agonizing nights to a study of Cotton. The newspapers are filled with news o. the cotton crop, the low price of cot ton, the cotton mills, the stagnated cotton market. Streamer heads across pages of daily newspapers keep this question before the people all the time, while in adjoining columns ? this man," and "that candidate, are telling the world what to do with Cotton? King Cotton. On the editor ial pages are other countless sugges tions, pleadings, warnings? as var ied as the twinkling stars on a cleat moonless night. Down in an obscure corner of a great North Carolina daily news paper there appeared last Sunday morning the most intimate news ol all concerning the cotton question This item was from a country towr correspondent, and was not intendec by that correspondent to be any kini of enlightenment upon the cottor question. It was sent in by the cor respondent as an item of news froir his community. Yet that little para graph contained more real informa tion on the cotton question than coulc be. found in all the high-flown anc high-blown articles and editorials ir a dozen newspapers. It struck right at the very root and branch of th? cotton question and the cotton trou bles. In this little dispatch, sent in froir Forest City, N. C-, the informatior was given that school in that countj closed for two weeks so " the childrei could kdp pick cotton." There you are! "So the children could help P'ct cotton !" Cotton has been the children's crop and the cotton mills have been tht children's industry, ever since tht Negro was set free, and the first cot ton mill was erected in the South land. From generation to generation the children have chopped the cotton along with the father and often along with the mother, while other children over in the cotton mill took this product of the child in the field and with their fingers finished the product in the factory. Cotton has been a crop that re quired the services of all members of the family to produce, and has fed an industry that required all members of the family to convert the raw mater ial into the finished product. Is it any wonder that cotton is piled high about every town in ev ery cotton growing community in the country? Is it any wonder that the ware houses and storehouses are filled to the bursting point with the finished product of the cotton mills King Cotton has always been crowned by the tender hands of child labor, which prevails in the field until this good day, and would have prevailed in the factory but for an aroused public opinion which took the child from the mill and placed it in school. But the school children continue -to be taken from the school room, and placed in the cotton field "to pick cotton." In no other activity in American life is there to be found a like condi tion. You never see a doctor's wife and children practicing medicine with that doctor. You never see a law yers wife and children in the court "room helping that lawyer-daddy con duct a case. The same is true of merchants, printers, teachers, preach ers, miners, building mechanics, moulders, railroad men, and all. The man of the house makes the living except in the cotton field and in the cotton factory. In these the children, and often the wife who bears the children, are employed, and it seems that the man cannot make the grade alone, like the man makes the gra e i in all other lines ef endeavor. , And what's the result? Just what you read about every day-over- 1 production of cotton, and no price . for it; over-production of cotton, goods and no price or demand for ( these goods. And so will it ever be, ( just so long as King Cotton fills the, dual role of King and Curse-kmg of. the field and curse of childhood. marriages falling off, WHILE DIVORCES INCREASE. Bureau of census, Washington, makes announcement that there were 40 marriages in Transylvania county in 1929, and 25 marriages in 1930, a falling off of fifteen matings here in one year. Fifteen divorces were granted in the county in 1929, and this number had been increased to 20 divorces in 1930. On the face of this statement, things look bad for the county. But there were many more Tran sylvania couples married in 1930 than ! 8re shown from the census records. [Many of our young people hop over 'the hill, and have the knot tied in ! South Carolina. These marriages do ? not show on the records of Transyl 1 vania county, hence the rather one sided appearance of the report. j Many young people object to the State law here which requires a phy sician's certificate of good health be fore a marriage license can be pro cured. Young women especially should be glad that this law was en acted and is enforced. Foolish, in deed, is the young woman who will refuse this great safeguard provided for her by this state law. The law was enacted to safeguard the future wives and mothers and their chil ? dren, if they are blessed with such. We wish that our young people ? would stop going to South Carolina ' to get married. Some of them, too, may wish some day that they had not i gone away from this state to t,et 1 married. The doctor's certificate of r good health is a great protection co ? the voung people of North Carolina, and 'they should take advantage of it. 1 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE I SHOULD THANK MR. JONES ! That a friend is really worth while has been demonstrated in forceful i manner by Ora L. Jones, former edi tor of The Brevard News, but now . working on a newspaper in Key West [ Florida. Many people have spent the 1 summer in Brevard or in the county l about Brevaicl who came here be ; cause of the urgent appeal of Mr. , Jones and his description of the . beauty of the place. Capt. J. T. Rice, wife and two daughters are here now, and will ie ' main throughout the Indian Summer. ' They have been accustomed to spend ing their summers elsewhere, and 1 came to Brevrad only because ol the urging of Mr. Jones. They live in Key West, and are friends of the : former Brevard man. Mr. Louie E. Pierce and family ' spent the month of July here, com ! ing here because of Mr. Jones. They returned to Key West, told Mr. F.ni ' ory L. Pierce, capitalist, that Mr. ' Jones had not exaggerated at all; that the place was more beautiful ' than Mr. Jones had been able to tell, ' and Mr. Pierce came with his wife ' and daughters. Hon. Curry Harris, leading attor 1 ney of Key West and friend of Mr. Jones, is now here, enjoying his va cation. All of these tine people art stopping at the Radford House, and express themselves as heing highlx, satisfied here. The Chamber of Commerce is to meet Thursday evening, and we make motion that a special letter of appre ciation be sent to Mr. Jones, thanking him for sending such splendid people to this beautiful section. And if Key West has any more citizens like these, let us urge Mr. Jones to see every one of them and give them a special in vitation to come to Brevard next summer. t ~ *1 I ? JUST ONE MAN HERE ALL OUT OF GEAR ! Transylvania county is made up of fine citizens ? all but one. The men of this county are willing to do all in their power for the advancement of the community? all but one. The men of this county are neighborly, and do all they can for others? all but one. The men of this county al ways speak good of others ? all but one. There is just one man in the coun ty who does everything he can to hurt just as many people as he can, and do , all the harm to the county that he ^ can? just one. He knocks everybody and everything. He thinks he is the only perfect man in the county, and is confident that he has more sense than all other men of the county put together. It is his honest opinion ( that all other men ought eithei^o be in jail, the insane asylum or Hell. You know him. You heard him bleating away yesterday. He never does any work? just stands around and criticizes others. Lordy, wouldn't it be fine if he; would choke to death? Read Dr. Chapman's Prayer Cor-j ner if you would be happier. One can not' read this feature without receiv ing great benefit. Read it tonight, just before going to bed, and you will sleep more soundly, Just try it, if you have not been reading the Prayer Corner. < NEWS AND VIEWS OF THE TAR HEEL STATE (By Mark Taylor Orr) THIS IS THE LAW: Live Cleanly. Eat Wisely. Sleep Adequately. Exercise Regularly. Study Methodically. Save Systematically. Invest Judiciously. So ? and only so ? may you attain health, wealth and wisdom, if you have them not; or retain them if you have them now. No exceptions can, or will, occur. ; No half-way measures will suffice. No intentions, however good, will I compensate. None but those who i obey these dictates may live ? hap ! pily. The rest must fail, in one way jor another. Inexorable, harsh, unyielding, cruel, perhaps but nevertheless: I It is the law! ? The Magazine of Wall Street. j Oh, Citizens of Carolina! The law is the law. Wherein have we failed? Place a question mark after each of i the seven laws and search yourself : for the answer. And especially, do you Study Methodically, Save Sys tematically and Invest Judiciously? If you can answer Yes, cease your worries, for you are doing your part to kill OLD MAN DEPRESSION. ' Cotton farmers from the principal cotton counties of Ea%ern North Carolina are planning tr meet to gether to discuss their views on the cotton acreage reduction question in 1832. 1 Secretary of the Cotton Farmers organization announced that the meeting would be held next Thurs day. He also said that the sentiment of all cotton farmers with whom he had discussed the matter were ir favor of average curtailment by the legislature. James Davis is the father of print ing and journalism in North Caro lina. He organized a shop in New Bern on June 24, 1749. He wa? chosen public printer by the citizen? of the town with an annual salary of lfiO pounds. He published and editec the first paper in this state, "The , Gazette," which was started in 1755 1 Davis also printed the first book ir i North Carolina, "Swann's Revisal,' written by Samuel Swann. History tells us that Davis follow ed his literary career for nearly years. His career ended when An drew Steuart of Philadelphia brought a printing press to North Carolina The state decided not to have c public printer and Davis ceased hi: labors as the uioneer newspapermar of this state. For six months he pub lished the North Carolina Magazine or the Universal Intelligencer at the end of that time it was susDended. ! Andrew Steuart who replaced Dav | is as State Newspaper editor, start ed publication of the Xorth Caroline Gazette and Weekly Post Boy" which had a brief existence. In 17G? Mr. Steuart was drowned in the Cape Fear River and his press iva. bought by Adam Boyd, who, accord , ing to history became the state's thirc | and last pre-revolutionary printer Mr. Boyd published the "Cape Feai Mercury." It is said that the Mer icury suspended publication aftei : printing a copy of the Mecklenburg ' resolves because of "their most traiterously declaring the entire dis solution of the laws of government and constitution of this country." Records of grain surveys show that the 19.'i0 ."heat, barley and rye crops : of Western North Carolina are pos j sibly the best ever produced in that section. Sufficient grain has been harvested to supply the farmers with their own grain for stock and chick ens. This will free the farmers from I having to ship so much grain into the I state in order to fulfill the public demand. | At a meeting of approximately 25 men, leaders of business and indus try, from all sections of North Car | olina in Raleigh recently it was j planned to carry out a definite pro gram for relief of the unemployed. ? Governor 0. Max Gardner will ap | point a committee of from 5 to 7 - members to lead the relief work in a j few days. i Though he has never sought public office, Captain Nathan O'Berry, state treasurer, one of the oldest and yet one of the spryest state officials, has held many public trusts and is rec i ognized as a student of finance and economy. Capt. O'Berry was appointed State Treasurer in 1929 to succeed the late Benjamin Lacy who held the post for 28 years, by Governor Gard ner. In November 1930 he was re elected by one of the largest major ities ever polled for a state candi date. Though Mr. O'Berry is 75 years of age he chooses to live in his home at Goldsboro and motor to Raleigh 54 miles away and return each day. It is the fair season! County and community fairs are being held over the entire state. Perhaps one of the most interesting will be the Cherokee Indian Fair held at Cherokee, N. C. I on October 6, 7, 8, and 9. The fair will.be featured by con tests of Indians skilled in the use of the blow gun and bow and arrow. 1 Green corn dances performed to the ' eadence of skin drums and gourd rattles, traditional Indian ball game. 1 and the fearful "Eagle Dance" kept I alive by tribesmen in the remote coves of the reservation. The dance has been exhibited only once to the public. ; The largest of them all will be the State Fair in Raleigh, from the 12th , of October through the 17th. It will j be representative of the stock and ) farm produce of the entire state. The fair this year will be the fourth an nual exposition and it will be big ger. better and more interesting in svery way.
