Announcement carried in today's Brevard News that Mrs. T. H. Gal loway is now a candidate before the Juno primaries for nomination on the Democratic ticket for the office of county treasurer will prove most interesting. It marks women's first entry into the local political field in the rolo of a candidate, and the coun ty's reaction to the new day will be awaited with a great deal of interest. The fact that Mrs. Galloway is one of the best known women of the county, having been engaged in the nursing profession for neariy a ([uarter of century, and that her op ponent is Mr. O. L. Envin, one of the most popular men of the county, gives promise that a real contest is to be waged. This contest, with its new and un usual features, will be one of the most carefully noted contests in the county campaign. MAKING READY FOR GOOD TOURIST BUSINESS. Reports from furniture stores give evidence that the people of the town and county are preparing for a good tourist season, it appears that many peopie are getting their bouses in or der for the coming of the summer guests, and their expectations will, we believe, be fully realized. Our faith is pinned on Greenville and upper South Carolina, Many men of mod i rati: .nca::s will be having their fam ilies in this community during the coming summer who have not here tofore lk-c a able to provide that re lief. This comes from the fact that it is now juSt one hour from Greenville t<> Brevard, over the fine new high way, and our neighbors in South Carolina can come here at such less expense than in past seasons. Another group that will add to Brevard's swelling list of summer people will come from folks who havo been going to far more expensive places than this community. They will n. 't be going in such large numbers to expensive resorts this year, but will, on the other hand, be looking out for a place where cool breezes blow and blankets are needed at night, yet where they can afford to live under tiie new budget system, which has been greatly curtailed even among tho wealthiest of folks. All that Brevard has to do this year, is to let the folks know, that they can live here even at a lower rata than they can live at home. This is true, in many, many instances. But it :.s now time that we are making this fact known. A few dollars spent in judicious advertising among the people south of us will return ten, twenty, thirty fold. PLANT A GARDEN, EVERYBODY, AND HEi.P OUT GREATLY. Every family should have a garden this year, even if it should of neces sity be a small garden. Each roast ing ear, every mess of beans, ail 'the turnip greens and mustard, onions, and vegetables of all kinds, will bring great relief to each and every family having a garden. Most of us men waste enough .time lolling about the house to grow enough vegetables for the entire season's use. Of course, tho spring fever conies, and the fishing season is open, and the shaded nooks and inviting corners of grassy plots are inviting. It takes real courage to ? grab a hoe and go to work in the . garden, but it means food, good food, ; plenty of food. - Many of us could grow a good gar- i den with the energy we waste in j standing about fussing over taxes, ? cussing the governor, or president,; for the predicament we are in. Let's! work off some of that heretofore 1 wasted energy in growing a good gar- j den this spring and summer. A CORRECTION We beg to say that we were misin formed in our writeup of March 17, in which we listed Rev. J. L. Bragg, 1 pastor of the Enon Baptist Church among a group of county preachers who have had little or no college edu cation. Rev. Bragg informs us that he completed his high school work-in Sooth Carolina, followed by a conrao at Moody Institute and a four-year , theelegical course at Oester, Pa. THIS OLD XVORi.D LEAVES LOAD UPON 0U1 ?: YOUTH. It is good that youth i3 hopeful, \ enthusiastic, lacking somewhat in seriousness. Our universities, col- ? leges, high schools and other institu tion of learning are turning out a great array of graduates this Spring. They faro forth into life's battles in enthusiastic manner. They little know the mess that is left by the passing generation for ? the coming generation to clean up. In every na tion on earth there is strife, tur moil, stagnation. Debts have piled high upon pile. Obligations in the nations of the world reach figures so staggering that no one can un derstand the amount any more than any one can say how and when these debts will be paid. And the generation just now com ing into activity must assume these burdens. It will require the entire mature life time of this young gen eration to clean up the debts and un ravel the tangles made and created by the group now passing into his tory. Commencement addresses this year should be of honest, frank, candid nature. Platform artists* in address ing the graduating classs ought to tell the truth to the young men and women who will become old and wrinkled before they have completely cleared the world of the mess and muss that we are passing into their hands and placing upon their shujid ers. No sky-scraping oratory should be indulged during the coming com mencement periods by those invited to address graduating classes. The plain, unvarnished truth should be given to the young people who have mastered their work and completed their course. We believe in the youth of today. Wo believe in their qualities of man hood and womanhood. We do not think that they will for a moment flinch when full realisation comes upon them cf conditions facing them at the very beginning of their life's work. But we ought to be honest with them, and frankly admit our failures. The World War caused much of the present con ditions, buf did not cause it all. We ?prospered for a while, and lost our heads; we gambled for a while, and iost our fortunes. We have been buy ing on credit, and now leave the re payment to this coming generation. INTRODUCING MR. POOLE TO OUR COMMUNITY. It is with pleasure that we an nounce the addition to The Brevard News force of Mr. R. J. Poole, of Greenville, S. C., an experienced newspaper man and a thoroughly prepared printer. Mr. Poole comes highly recommended, a young man of excellent reputation. He has been working for many years on The Greenville News and on The Pickens Sentinel. He is a member of the Methodist church. Mr. Poole is thoroughly experienced in job print ing, and can give guaranteed work on any kind of commercial printing. The Brevard News is confident that the fine spirit of hospitality always so readily given to new citizens of the town will be given to Mr. Poole. He is not married, and is living at the home of Mrs. T. J. Summey. MR. GALLOWAY'S VIEWS ON PROHIBITION Editor Brevard News: Many people today are expressing themselves . thru the columns of the newspapers in regard to the prohibi tion question, and what this law is doing for our country and her sons and daughters. It is well that there are a scattered few who are so short-sighted and diish in their beliefs and opinions that they speak in favorable terms of the return of whiskey and open saloons to our Nation. Because from their expressions that moral clement and the God-loving people at this time can see what a battle is to be fought in order to make our country a safe place for the young men and women of today and their sons and daughters of future years, to dwell. It is an evident fact that we a!J can not see alik;', and we admit that we are ignorant as to facts on lots of questions. And we a great many , times see thing3 in the wrcng light. But I don't believe any sane person, j man or woman, will ever vote for! whiskey, that Hellish liquid that': floats young men and women down | the rushing tide to destruction. It sa loons wers allowed in our towns and cities, and public "stills" everywhere we looked again, I say to you, it would be unsafe for us to drive, or . walk, even, the public highways. We can picture our flfipr wives, j mothers and sisters walking down the street in some town where these streets are filled with slavering drunks and hellish villianous men who spend all their earnings for that poisonous fluid, while their families go hungry and clothed in rags. i What we should vote for, is some thing which will be for the upbuild- i ing of our country. Not for some- i thing that will send our loved ones < and friends to Hell. 1 If every man. woman and child in i the United States of America could ; only read the little book entitled, 1 "Hell at Midnight in Springfield," written by a preacher in 1908, when j saloons w re open, R would not be j necessary for riep like me to write j against that j^ile stuff called whiskey. ; Tin heart of you would be broken ! ? . -? AJ if you had ever had a desire there for the return of whiskey. We hear folks say sometimes that "money is the root of all oviL" That is true i'.i one sense of the phrase. But listen to me friends. Money will not 1 buy whiskey if there is no whiskey.1 to be bought, and I say frankly that I J whiskey is the root of numerous P evils. It causes murders, slanders. ' fights, heartaches, separations anu j hundreds of other deeds that I eouid ' ' mention whereas, if whiskt-y :iad not been flowing down the threats of the characters involved or "some one i of them, these dreadful things could a greater percentage of them, been avoided. I can ame numbers of such ! cases as just mentioned that have I occurred here in Old Trn n?yVipia ' county, where whiskey played its! hand and won by sending men and | ! women to their graves, violently, by j causing wives and husbands to sepa rate, by sending precious boys and ! girls out in the world, away from j their homes where they had expected j the loving kindness of fathers and mothers and received instead, that dreadful harsh treatment from the hands of drunken fathers and some- 1 times mothers. It is awful what '? whiskey can do. f Prohibition can be enforced, but not as long as we vote for men to fill ; our public offices who have never j done anything except drink "moon shine'' and bootleg the damnable stuff, to their neighbor's boys. No, we must 1 strive to remove such men from the i ranks of public affairs and vote for! and elect the moral and upright j citizens of our country to these offices, and wipe out the servitude of j such men as we have known to take ' th< ir little tips of blood money and: lot the bootlegger get by. I call it blood money because it has gone over i ' the prayers of some faithful" mother j who is trying to keep her son from] going down that broad and beaten j path of sin and destruction. It has I gone over the prayers of some dear!, sisters or loved ones into hands of bootleggers, thence into the hands of some sheriii' or cop, who turns a deaf ear and a blind eye to the liquor traffic. If these same sheriffs, cops, etc, had any conscience, any soul, they could almost see the red blood flowing from the hearts of mothers, sisters arid loved ones as they poured out their souls in prayers to God to. save their precious <ons, datffehters, brothers, sisters or husbands from that satanic poison that opens the , doors of Hell in their very eyes. Let s all vote to keep whiskey out of his country, friends. If we don't care anything for ourselves, we could and should try to help make the world safer and brighter for the younger generation of brighteyed boys and girls, the youth of .today who will be men and women of tomorrow, and some of whom will become lead ers of the various aims where their forefathers leave oft' to go to the great Beyond. No one can realize what suffering whiskey would bring by the time these young folks become of an age for these responsibilities. These boys and girls will follow in the footsteps of their fathers and mothers and the big-hearted, honest and loyal leaders of this country. So why not leave footprints in the "sand of time that will not disgrace then names nor ours. I don t think there's any person in the whole wide world who can prove to you or me, one good deed that has been the result of drinking whiskev. the making and selling of the stuff only brings in blood money which burns our fingers and rends our1 hearts as we think of the tears, heartaches and suffering it causes thruout the land. It only brings grief to our souls to drink the fiery stuif when we stop to think of the prayers that have been sent up to God by' the , good christian people all over the U. S. and other countries in the interest of those of us who use it or deal in it, and the prayers for the horrible . stuff to oe removed tetotally from our country that it might be' a better; place to dwell while here on earth, and a quieter, more pleasant place to prepare for the world on high. I 1" or God's sake keep it away from cur boys and girls that their thoughts mav dwell on brighter and better, things, r n 5- 1 It' dram-drinkers could only see the bottom of the dram-glass and look upon the thousands of demons therein with outstretched aims say- , mg. Follow after us," rnd then just, one glimpse of the end of the road to which they are sure to lead, such ! nien would turn then* backs upon whiskey and upon its sympathizers. 1 1 : lends, no mercy can reach where , that vile stuff will take vou if vou continue to taste it. Let s one and all do one good ilecd ? f"r country and vote against 'vr-'Kcy at every opportunity and j make this a clean, sober country. : . \vhen ye walk up to the ballot box I' on dec. ion dny, let's not forget our j great forefathers who fought and oied that this should be a country fit f!,r J? to dwell upon. Not that v;e should be chained down with bonds of whiskey. May God help you to no* torget. Tot, t G[TY galloway Lake Toxaway, N. C. SMOKE THESE OVER!

There is a store in Brevard (complete department store) that is connected with all the large outside markets of the fashion centers, and who by reason of this connection can compete with any big city anywhere in price, style, quali ty. Some people in Brevard don't know this (you know it now) and still have the idea that they must go forty miles to get the best at a fair price (wrong, ab solutely) . SEE YOU NEXT WEEK UNDER THE EYES.
