This should not be a mere emotion with no outward expression, but should cause those who are for tunate and able, to think of those who are less fortunate and less able. This year, the relief of distress is the big outstanding objective of unselfish mo tives. Among the large group needing aid ir. our state are the dependent children ? especially those bereft of home and parents. The orphanages of th?? :tate have brought large num beto of these under their care, and Church and Fraternal Society have assumed a large responsibility. The Orphanages are experiencing a hard time this year. The capacity of people to give ha? been considerably lessened ? hence the income of all Or phanages is considerably less. Among the orphanages the Oxford Orphanage stands out as the oldest ? siviy years old this year. More than thousand children have received its benefits and the present popula tion is three hundred and seventy-five. These are to be housed, clothed and fed, shoes provided; as well as edu cational advantages and the care of their health. It is a large task ? only thirty per cent of the children are of Masonic parentage and the family is made up of children from all over the State. There are some in the - Oxford Orphanage famiiy from this county and Superintendent Proctor sends out a call for all Orphanages at Thanks giving but more especially for that large family of which he is the head. Help the Orphanages this year for in so doing you are helping in the States program of relief, and, at the same time, helping children who, through no fault of their own, hold out plead ing hands for a chance and call for one to invest in them. PROHIBITION NOW TO THE FOREFRONT Leader* More Determined Than Ever That 18th Amendment to Stand REMOVED FROM ARENA OF POLITICAL BATTLE Many Voted Democratic Tick et With No Idea of Being for Repeal. Washington, Nov. 9 ? Now that the election has swung toward those who believe the 18th amendment should be repealed, the fight to be waged by the prohibitionists becomes more acute. It can now be fought out without the movement itself being involved in a political battle. Leaders in the pro hibition movement have long wanted the situation to become one of straightout contest between prohibi tionists and those who want repeal. The question has been thrown into the political melee until it has been a | hard and difficult task tc obtain a j line-up on the strict question of re- 1 peal or continuation of prohibition. This election just ended does not mean that all who voted the Demo cratic ticket are for repeal of the 18th amendment. Hundreds of thousands of people voted the Democratic ticket who were in nowise voting for repeal. Unemployment and depression, lack of food and fuel, caused millions tc vote the Democratic ticket simply be cause the honestly thought a change of administration would be beneficial i to the country. j Friends of prohibition are lining up j now for & solid front against any ef I (Continued on back pagt) MCCRARY SEVERELY CUT IN FIGHT HERE Lonnie McCrary of Little River, is in the Lyday Memorial Hospital as ft result of knife wounds he received during a fight Tuesday night in which, it is reported Clarence Morris of near Brevard, cut him in the left side.

EASTERN STAR TO MEET I TUESDAY NIGHT The local chapter, Order of tha Eastern Star, will hold their regular meeting in the masonic hall Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock. Important matters are to be taken up at this meeting and all members are urged to be present. REYNOLDSCLOSES CAMPAIGN HERE Robert R. Reynolds, Democratic nominee for United States Senate, made the last address of his campaign at the Brevard High school auditori um here Monday night at 8:30 o'clock before more than 1000 persons. Mr. Reynolds was met at the Hen derson - Transylvania county line! at 7:45 by a motorcade of 100 cars and was escorted to the county court house where he was scheduled to [speak. However, it was impossible to seat more than a fraction of the people so speaker and his audience went to the High school building where he delivered his last appeal to the voters. In opening remarks Mr. Reynolds stated that he does not blame the Re publican party for the condition of the county. He feels that the "rank and file" of the party are all right. He attributes the "calamity" to the leaders of that party. He charged the present administration with misuse ; of funds and with a complete disre gard for the promises of four years ago. The speaker went into a thorough discussion of the issues involved in the campaign, spoke very highly of Franklin D. Roosevelt." who, he said, is a man who speaks the language of "the common people." He said he had met Gov. Roosevelt personally and that he was highly pleased to find t him "just a man," and one who is capable of dealing with the average population. In conclusion Mr. Reynolds urged that the people go to the polls and vote. He promised that he would make every effort to render them a whole hearted service while in office and and that all would be welcome to come to see him in Washington, and that six years from now he will be back to ask them to re-elect him. He was introduced to the people by Hon. William E. Breese, Chairman of the Democratic committee of Trans ylvania county. J LET EVERY MAN AND WOMAN LEND A HAND I The election is over. The American people have spoken. The verdict is decisive. ? * Let politics be adjourned now, and let every good citisen lend a hand to the newly elected administrations in the Nation, State and countka in their effort to alleviate the suffering of our people. Recovery from the depres sion was hindered during the la3t Congress by political interference and manipulation. With ft national election in the offing, partisan men and women in both political parties hemmed and hawed, heckled and hindered efforts to bring relief. The election ia over, and no man has any right ir. the face of widespread suffering to play politics that would hurt or hinder 1 any measure that promises probable or possible relief to a suffering people, j President-elect Roosevelt and his advisers face a tremendous task ? a task j that President Hoover has all bur given his life to perform. In every sec tion and center and community of the United States there are suffering people, needing food, fuel and clothing. Business men, manufacturers and farmers stand in helpless attitude, waiting, wondering what to do and how to turn. Countless thousands walk the streets and highways, hunting jobs. It is true that recovery has started in many sections in the United States, but this is not true in the other countries of the world. Our recovery will be slow, at best. Its pace will be set in large meafeure fcy the willingness of the American people to submerge selfish and political interests, and work together for the common good of all. In our state the situation is acute. Counties and towns are, in effect.: bankrupt, and will be so declared unless some way is found to work out from under the heavy obligations imposed upon the people. Tax bills are high and heavy, with insistent demands being made upon public officials to pay public debts and interest thereon. Our individual citizens, tens of thousands of them, have already lost their homes and their farms through forced foreclosure and tax sales ; .other tens of thousands now face this ruination. With a situation like this confronting our people, is it not the part or \ wisdom and patriotic duty for every man to put his shoulder to the whee' and assist in bringing order out of chaos? Those of us who were victorious i in Tuesday's election will remember that the victory carries with it responsi- 1 bilities that are staggering in their immensity. Those of us who lost in Tues- ] day's election must remember that we can Joce still greater things than ar. election. Let *11 of us, as American citi*ens and patriotic North Carolinians, as fathers and mothers and neighbors, look into the future ar,d realise the great fact that whatever will help a Democrat will help a Republican, and what ever will help a Republican wili help & Democrat, and whatever will hurt a Republican will hurt a Democrat, and whatever will hurt a Democrat will hurt a Republican. In this spirit, and in the light of an understanding ?f the awful conditions surrounding us, may we, therefore, adjourn politic* and work hand in hand and heart wrth heart in the alleviation of eur suffering people and for tno recovery of our normal business in thi? county, state and nation? ELECTION DAY IS QUIET IN BREVARD Election day was comparative]/ here, only a few drunks, celebrating victory or drowning? their grief over defeat, several fights that were not of any consequence and the usual hil arity.
