ter of Attraction
k. Highway 28 is completed ? 338-miles
bf it ? reaching from the Linville
jprge on the northeast to the Tenn
essee line on the southwest, below
^Murphy.
Highway 28 now becomes one of
the most attractive routes in all of
Kastern America, and traverses a
couTi'iy filled with scenic beauty and
gran^'fr r>ot equalled elsewhere in
this country.
Brevard is located at its center, on
the crossroads of this matchless
highway and that of 284. the Csesar's
Head end Pisgah Mountain rout?.
A special article in the Asheville
papers, sent in from Highlands, gives
description of this highway and
brings the glad tidings that the way
is now on^n clear through. The
article follows.
"The newly stone-surfaced section
of Highway No. 28 between High
lands and the Jackson county line,
completing the hard surfacing of the
route between Bat five and Frank'
lin, was open to traffic today.
"The last of the stor.e paving was
laid late last week and today the
road was reported in splendid condi
tion. In th ? spring the route will bo
further improved with an asphalt oil
binder which will be placed between
tho Macoti-J.'"-Vson line through
Highlands to Gneiss.
"With i's connection to South Car
olina at Hend: rsonville. Brevard and
Hvi'Til.-uu's, thn road will be, when the
sprnjr tourist season opens, a very
important feerer route into the Great
Km Mountains National park. It
is a'so expected to bring into tho
but''" fu! and lofty Highlands area
t'- "ands of tourists for the first
time.
'?jthe road into Highlands follows
one of the most difficult routes of
any highway in Western North Caro
lina and was one of the most costly
t(, r rn"'ete. la the Cullasaja gorge,
the h e h way was blasted across the
fate o? a perprndicu'av cliff and runs
along over a sheer dron of 2-50 feet
above the river bed. The road also
tfips under Bridal Veil falls and
passes so near to Cullasaja fails that
the spray almost falls on the paving.

FOuiY wrillKty
BY COMMISSIONERS!
People Owing Note* at Closed |
Banks Must Make; Curtail*
meat on Notes
In vlev of the fact that there have
bson several suits started rei.en'lv
against parties o-ving notes at the j
rinsed Brevard Banking company,
ti.-e attorney for the liquidating ug3ii'i j
was asked 10 give the poi>y of t^j
Banking Department in regard to
these matters. i
Mr. Kimzey states that it is no'
the policy of the Banking Depart
ment to brine legal action against
against any parties who arc regular- ,
ly curtailing iheir notes, but in view ?
of the fact that many parties who
c wed the Brevard Banking company 1
at i's closing date V -ve not paid any- j
thing on th?ir notes, nor seemingly \
made any effort to do so, that the
Banking Department has requested
that legal action be taken against |
those who are not making any effort
to pay their notes.
Mr. Kimzey states that the depos- [
itors of Brevard Banking company
are very anxious to receive a divi- ,
d"nrl, but it is impossible to pay this 1
dividend unless the parties who owe '
the bank at least start paying their .
obligations.
It was also stated that in cases '
where suit has been started and the j
parties have made arrangements to 1
make regular payments, no matter ;
.v small, no judgments have been
tiVen, or will be taken. In cases
whree it is necessary to take judg- ,
ment, it is not the policy of tne
Banking Department -to issue execu- ,
tion and sell the property of the de
fendants at this time*, but the Bank
ing Department, will expect these
judgments to be paid off in a reason
able time, or it viil b? necessary to
issue execution upon them.

PREACHERS SHOULD NOT
MEDDLE, SPEAKER SAYS
With Questions That Do Not
Concern Them ? No Big
Man for Prohibition
Two hundred people gathered in the
Transyh ania countv court house last
Thursday night and heard repeal
advocates present their side of the
argument against the 18th Amend
ment. Hon. John H. Small, scheduled
to make the principal address, was
reported to be ill in an Asheville
hotel, and E. W. Ewbanks, of Hend
ersonville ably took his place at the
meeting.
Mrs. Lucile Mclnturff, Asheville at
torney, spoke briefly to the ladies,
urjring them to band themselves to
gether for repeal of the 18th Amend
ment, declaring that the movement
was a woman's fight. Already, Mrs.
Mclnturff said, 400.000 women have
joined the organization peeking re
form of the law, adding that in
becoming a member of the organiza
tion there were no dues to be paid
and that the sole jpurpose> of the;
reformists wr.s "betterment of social
conditions through repeal ef the 18th
Amendment.
In an able address, E. W.
Ewbanks, prominent Hcndersonville
attorney, he'd the attention of thv
large crowd for nearly an hour as he
cited his reasons for opposing the
present prohibition laws. A total ab
stainer himself, he declared that the
civil right of a man who wanted to
drink whiskey were taken from him
by the 18th Amendment, and further
charged that the law was not being
enforced, only as pertaino to the
"little fellow" who is be:rtc Xiflroaded
to the jail and prison while. a favored
few were -allowed to procure and
drink without molestation by the
authorities.
Enforcement of the prohibition
laws has been a failure wherever and
whenever tried, Mr. Ewbanks as
serted, not only in the United States
but in other countries. Even th- ?'????th
penalty" imposed bv " thr> Ctfwrse
thousands of years ago, and again
when the death penalty was imoosed
by Mohammed in later years in an
endeavor to prevent drinking, al
though thousands t">0". thiusf'i's of
people were put to r'eath. ?h.-> law was
disobeyed even as it is today.
"No law ran be tnforccd anvwhere,
any time when there is a Iprge and
conscientious minority taking the
stand against its enforcement, -ml
there is a largo minority opposed to
the 18th Amendment,'' Mr. Ew'iir.ks
asserted. The lav; is wrong in theory ?
he averred, declaring that it w?s t?V,--.
