Transylvania County, It |
Is Said |
While all Western North Carolina
will obtain most beneficial publicity
results from the deer hunting now
in progress in the Pisgah National
Forest, Transylvania county will be
especially benefitted. Four hundred
men were drawn by lot, and given
permission T-o kill one deer each, with
the government exercising complete
power ever the regulations of the
hunt. These four hundred men will ,
be accompanied by others, an<l this i
within itself >vill serve as a great |
advertisement for this county. The !
papers throughout Eastern America
are carrying daily news uf the acti- '
vities of the hunters, all f.f which
is considered most valuable publicity.
Perhaps the most important pub- j
licity, certainly the most valuable,
will come after the close of the hunt
ing period. The United States gov
ernment, with the management of i
the wild life department, is having
complete raotion pictures made of the
hunt. These pictures, made pri
marily for the extension work in col
leges and universities, will also be
shown in many theatres throughout,
the country. These pictures will first I
show Western North Carolina, that

Mayor Ralph H. Ramsey, Jr., in j
an address over radio station WWNCj
Sunday night, paid a tribute to Tran- j
sylvania county that only one who j
kr.ows his e'ounf.y and who has its '
interests at heart, could possibly pay. ]
His speech was in connection with a j
series of similar talks being heard j
over this station each Sunday night, j
describing the counties of Western
North Carolina.
His speech follows:
Ralph H. Ramsey, Jr., of Brevard,!
spoke last night over radio station
WWNC on Transylvania county, in
one of the series of talks on western
North Caroling counties which are
being broadcast each Sunday night.
Mr. Ramsey described the scenic
attractions, industries, agriculture,
and other features of the county.
Transylvania offers special attrac
tions to the tourists, he said, as it is
part of Pisgah National forest, it has
many summer camps for boys and
girls, and has some strikingly beau
tiful scenery.
His address follows:
"Transylvania County is grateful
to the Citizen Broadcasting company
for the opportunity afforded through
this series of weekly broadcasts of
learning more about our sister coun
ties in Western North Carolina, and
of telling you tonight some of the

ANOTlR CAR LOAD
OF FLOUR RECEIVED
Transylvania's consignment of ai
carload of Red Cross Flour has been j
received and is ready for distribution ?
to the indigent families of the coun- .
ty. Distribution is to be under the:
direction of Joseph S. Silversteen,
chapter chairman.
fho central distribution depot is J
in Brevard and operating ir. the va- j
rious communities are other depots'
located in Pisgah Forest, under su- 1
pervision of Bob Mackey; Rosman, in!
charge of Craig Whitmire and Lake'
Toxaway in charge of W. H. Arro-j
wood. !
As in the past this flour will be!
issued only on orders of committees
in charge of the relief work in the
county. This is the third consign
ment received in Transylvania coun
ty within the past few months and it
has been a Godsend to many desti
tute families throughout the county.
DOGS NOT PROPERLY j
TAGGED TO BE KILLED
The board of aldermen met Mon-j
day evening at the City Hall for |
their regular monthly session.
The only matter of moment other
than the regular routine business was
the order passed that all dogs on the
streets of Brevard after December 15
without the city dog license tag will
be killed by the town authorities. If I
you have paid your license be sure
that the tag is kept on the dog or
it will be impossible for the authori
ties to determine whether or not the
tax has been paid.
Whiskey Drinking Since the Election
Shows Shocking Increase, Bost Says
Effort will be made in the Janu
ary session of the North Carolina
legislature to repeal the Turlirigton
prohibition laws.
During tha recent campaign, Hon.
Jake JT. Newell and other speakers
oft?fc asserted that this move would
- be m$a&, but little thought was given
to t^fi^tatements. They were brand,
ed aa political propaganda, because
Mr. Newell was such an ardent dry,
and was leading the Republican cam
paign in the state.
. Already report? aro coming from
Raleigh that recently elected mem
-bers of the legislature are "feeling
out" the sentiment, and are embol
dened by the results of the recent
election that they will be safe in of
fering repeal measures for the Tur
lington law, the state's own prohi
bition law.
Whether the bill wocid D&sa or
not is, of course, problematical, yet
there are many men who predict such
of the measure, if it is offered. If
offered, it will be in the nature of a
revenue-producing movement. Bat
there ia one chance of ito failure,
^ and that is the way the lickeritea have
been openly drinking liquor since the
election. Read what Tom Bo?t says in
Only one thing

(Coniinue^ a
The Greensboro News about the mat
ter:
The state is going to be forced to
adopt either the general sales or the
luxury sales, tax. There is no way'
?to placate public opinion unless this,
is done. Anybody with as much sense
as a fried oyster knows that the
luxury or the sales tax in Hsu of the
15 cents ad valorem tax would have
left the state in worse financial
plights than it is now. but the
strength of the sales taxera of both;
kinds is that the state did not adopt ?
their plan and did employ the ad|
valorem- method of raising about I
$4,000,000.
Seles Tax Opposition )
There is much more opposition to
both forms of sales tax than tbeve
is to a booze tax. Tha state is afeoot j

CHURCH WEEK AT
BAPTIST CHURCH
Revs. W. Hershall Ford, J as. A.
Ivey and Others On The
Program
?
Plans are now in the making andj
almost completed for a great meeting
at. Brevard Baptist Church. Begin-,
ning Sunday night, Dec. 11, 1932, !
the church wili observe Church Week. '
These meetings will be held each eve
ning at 7:15 in the church auditorium.
Church problems cf local and \vorld
interest will be discussed' by local,
men, Mr. Ford, pastor of Render- ,
sonville, Mr, Ivey of West Asheyille,'
have been secured for these meetings j
and we hope to have Mr. Olive, re- 1
cently of China, with us. ?
The purpose of the meeting is that ?
our church as a whole may be brought .
into more vital and spiritual touch j
with the problems that confront uai
today, The program is so arranged j
that" each individual may make his!
contribution to the discussion of thej
problems presented. The main pur-|
pose of the meeting is to bring about I
n better understanding, a fuller fel
lowship and a greater unity in the
things concerning thd Lord's work
here in our midst.
"it is important that every member
make his arrangements to attend each
meeting. Young and old are urge-l to
attend. By coming and entering inty
this meeting you will be making your
contribution to the greatest institu
tion in your community, the church.
Tjje church is the most vital organi
zation we have in . the life of the
community or the world. What would
be the value of real estate without
the church? What would, inspire us
morally and spiritually if the church
were removed? What .would becqme .
of our churches if nc one gave it
serious thought and sacrifice? The
church must set the spiritual stan
dards. It must inspire hope and point
the way back to a vital faith in God
and man before these other vexing
and distressing problems that con
front us can be removed. Let us
make a better church and we will
build a better community and a hap
pier world.
Members of other Baptist church
in the county are invited. All others
are welcome.? Paul HartselL

Debts of State, Counties And
Cities; PoJ/jts Way
Public debts of North Carolina,
will be repudiated, or an adjustment i
made of these debts, declared Hon. j
Willis Smith at Rocky Mount in j
speaking to the Current Topics club
jof that city, Already, Mr. Smith stat-,
! ed, 40 counties in North Carolina j
I have defaulted, and others will soon i
?follow suit, unless there is an ad
justment made of the state, county ]
and municipal bonds.
Mr. Smith was speaker of the house j
j of representatives in the 1-331 leg- j
1 islature, ar.d is looked upon as be-|
I ing one of the beat informed men ;
? in the state on public affairs,
j Mr. Smith thought the sum total
i of the 40 county defaults was bad
< nough in the light of the $3,291,
000 which these counties can. not
now pay. But their plight is vastly
worse when it is considered that
, 'hey owe $67,000,000 more. The
j counties do not come of the agri
I cultural east alone or the mountain-'
j oua west. Camden falls slightly
I with its $3,900, but Buncombe piles
! it on with $1,500,000. And Mr.
i Smith says, that before another sum
| mer's sun h&3 set the misery of these
40 defaulting counties will be greats
ly mitigated by the company of
others not now in arrears.
