HOUSTON SAYS HE
WAS NOT RIGHT MAN
A. H. Houston, head of the Hou
ston Furniture company in Brevard,
calls attention to a misrepresentation
made in The Brevard News last week,
and asks that correction be m^de.
Mr. Houston says in a letter to this
paper :
"I noticed in last week's Brevard
News that some friend was offering
to bet that I would sell a carload of
Hoosier Kitchen cabinets during the
week. I want you to tell our friend
that he is betting on the wrong man,
;?r if he should bet on me he would
lose his money. There will be a car
load of Hoosiers sold here during the
week, as we placed eleven on the
opening day of the sale. But here are
the fellows who are selling the cabi
nets:
"Big Joe Lyday, Theo Reid, Fattx
McCall, Goode (Legs) Loftis ana
Herman (Skinny) Turner.
"These are the boys who keep me
from catching the Depression Blues.
A while back I was walking down the
street after a good week's business
done for me by these boys. I was
wearing a booni-time smile all over
my face. I met Bill Breese, and he
stopped me, and said:
" 'I have seen fellows who could
walk down the street and act like they
owned one side of it. but you are the
fust ? man I ever saw who could
act like he owned both sides of the
street.'
"Well. Jim, why wouldn't I walk
happy-like, when I have an organiza
tion like the bunch named above? I
am about to leave out the name of
one of the most important members
ot' my organization? Arabella Olivia
Houston 1 full name given by order of
the Business and Professional Wom
en's club). She has been on the job
continuously since the fishing season
opeend last April, at which trade I
have worked most faithfully while
Arabella Olivia kept the books and
answered the mail. And now that the
hunting season is open, and the check
er playing has started, you know I
will not have time to sell anything.
"So it is all right to bet on the
question that a car load ot' Hoosiers
will be sold during the week's sale,
but the above named group of live
wires will do the selling, and not
"Your innocent friend,
"A. H. HOUSTON."
THREE MEN ARRESTED
FOR SHOOTING A DEER
Kmmett Burse. Major Burse and
daughter .Johnson were placed under
arrest Sunday morning by officials
of the Pisgah National Forest on
charges of hunting on the govern

charged that the men killed a doe
early Sunday morning on Avery's
Creek. They are said to have been
in an automobile, and had placed the
deer in the car, all wrapped in a

One of the men ran, when Mr.

VISITORS FLOCKED
TO BREVARD FROM
EACH STATE IN U.S.
( Continued from page one)
visitors recorded, while Florida and j
Georgia come second and third, res
pectively, with Louisiana and Ala
bama running close in the lead. Prac
tically every state in the union is
represented, with listings also from
Canada, Cuba, France and Germany.
The question arises, perhaps ? what
is it all these people want to know
and in what way does the Chamber of
Commerce serve, their needs? In ad
dition to locating furnished houses,
boarding houses and hotel accommo
dations for the tourists, various other
forms of service are included in the
duties of the, secretary, such as, giv
ing out road maps and suggesting
routings to many points; answering
hundreds of letters of inquiry; giv
ing information as to points of inter
est in and around Brevard and near
by resorts and distributing literature
of these places; locating people in
town whose exact whereabouts are
unknown; securing maids and laund
resses for visiting strangers; and,
in short, serving as a general infor
mation bureau at the free disposal of
the inquiring public.
The Chamber of Commerce has
been the means of renting, directly or
indirectly, about 25 furnished houses
and -apartments for varying lengths
of time during the season; securing
accommodations for hundreds of peo
ple in the numerous boarding houses
and hotels in the town; writing per
sonal replies to nearly 200 letters of
inquiry from many sections of the
country regarding Brevard and this
immediate vicinity; and in fact,
serving as a booster for the commun
ity from almost every possible angle.
Not only has' the Chamber of Com
merce been of assistance in influenc
ing great numbers of people to spend
their summer vacations in Brevard,
but also will doubtless be the means
: of inducing many families to spend
the winter here or to become perma
nent residents. Quite a few letters
of inquiry are being received by the
secretary relative to the attractions
and advantages of Brevard as a win
ter resort or with a view to perma
nently locating here. A few letters
have also been received recently from
parties seeking information as to de
sirable investments in business or in
dustrial fields in this immediate sec
tion.
In addition to these activities of
the Chamber of Commerce coming
under the direct authority of the
secretary, much constructive and val
uable work has been accomplished
during the past few months by Pres
ident Jerry Jerome and his efficient
committee chairmen in the various
departments of operation. Of special
merit find value to the community is
the recent project of the roads com
mittee, of which Duncan MacDoug
ald is chairman, in their present suc
cessful efforts and future prospects
! of obtaining improvements on some
of the main highways leading into
Brevard, giving dircct connections
with important highway finks.
! The opinion is frequently expressed
in effect that an organization, such as
the Brevard Chamber of Commerce,
which shows such concrete evidence
of its worth to the community and to
the tourists, who make up so large a
part of Brevard' source of revenue,
i is worthy of whole-hearted coopera
tion and support- by its citizens, and
j that returns will be many-fold for the
] small outlay of expense to each indi
| vidua!. '
B, & P. WOMEN HOLD

In a meeting Monday evening, held

I and Professional Women's club re

NEW AUTO REPAIR
SHOP IS NOW OPEN
Brevard's newest business concern
is that announced this week in the
advertising columns of The News of
The Auto Repair Company, located in
the Jenkins building on East Main
street, and featuring auto and truck
repair of all kinds.
The new company announces that
they have the latest and most up-to
date machinery and equipment to fa
cilitate automotive repair. Commod
ious quarters are available for stor
age purposes. A new feature for this
section of the state is that of doing
repair work on the instalment or
time payment plan, management of
the Auto Repair believing that this
will prove popular and beneficial to
car owners of the county.

REDUCTION BRINGS i
JOY TO THE HEARTS
OF ALL TAX PAYERS
(' Continued from xtaac one)
the largest item of expense, this rate
being a fraction over one dollar on
the hundred dollars valuation. Indi
cation is that notes and bonds of the
county will be re-financed, finally to
be stretched out over a long period
of years to the end that a heavy tax
rate may be averted.
It is said that many people have
been holding back on payment of
3930 taxes until the present tax rate
was known. Now that the rate had
been reduced, many people are sav
ing up last year's taxes, and making
arrangements to settle down to the
long pull of removing mortgages
and deeds of trust from their proper
ty, and clearing up and holding on.
Real estate in the county will now
be in greater demand, since the tax
rate has been reduced, and word has
been received from .many non-resi
dent property owners that they in
tend to hold on to their lands here.
Practically all the citizens see the
great future for this section, when
the road work shall have been com
pleted, and the Great Smoky Moun
tain National Park is opened to the
public. It is only a question of short
time now uYitil this entire county is
to find that its main problem is that
of taking care of the people who
come here.
In addition to the promise of great
activity because jof the opening of ih:
National Park, there is another pro
ject taking from that will mean even
more than the park will mean to this
section. Announcement of this great
achievement will soon be ready foi
the press.
| The county is just now harvesting
its greatest crop in history. Then
has been abundance of rainfall this
past summer, yet no floods came tc
wash away the fruits of the field
Industry has held up unusualb
well in the county, and are gradual.*
.resuming more normal operations.
A bank will be opened here withir
the next few days, which will ad<
greatly to the activity of business ir
the community.
There should be no more pessimist!
in Transylvania county.
Raleigh, Sept. 23. ? North Carolini
has 275 chain store systems operating
1.645 stores, on which a tax of $70.
852.50 was paid, under protest, to:
the year ended May 31. 1931. An ap
peal from the tax is* now pending be
for the U. S. Supreme Court, on th<
ground that it is unconstitutional
The State court upheld the tax.
CAPT. RICE MEETS
OLD CAPTAIN HERE
I
Capt. George T. Rice and Mrs.
| Rice, of Key West, Fla., are spend
ing their first vacation in Brevard,
this place having been recommended
to them by Ora L. Jones, one time
editor of The Brevard News. Mr.
Jones is now with the newspaper at
Key West, and several people are
here this year because of Mr. Jones'
enthusiastic description of this sec
tion.
Capt. Rice had an unusual exper
ience last Sunday, when Lt. Col.
Oscar Sebaach, of Asheville, came to
Brevard to spend the day with Capt.
and Mrs. Rice. Col. Sebaach was a
captain in the Spanish American
war, and Capt. Rice was then a pri
vate in Col. Sebaach's company. For
a long time the two were close
friends Thirty-three years ago,
however, they became separated,
and last Sunday's reunion was the
first time they had niet in the 33
years. The former Captain Sebaach
of the Spanish-American war be
came Lieut.-Col. Sebaach during the
Worfd War.
' Captain Rice has traveled exten
sively, and is quite familiar with
that section of the country o?-er
which Japan and China are now
contesting. He talked interestingly
i of the customs of the Japanese and
Chinese, and knows intimately all
that part of Manchuria where the
Japanese-Chinese wrangle is based.
Both Captain and Mrs. Rice ex
press keen pleasure in their visit
here, declaring this to be one of the
most beautiful sections they have
; ever visited in all of their travels.
They will be here for another month.
Capt. Rice expresses belief that
several hundred people in Key West
; will spend next summer in Brevard
? and Transylvania county, due to the
; fact that a large number of Key West
) people who are here this season for
the first time will induce their friends
' to come here next year.
