Every Progressive City
has Some Such Or
9aniz0tiop, Hender-
soT1ville Must Hove
it Also. A Proposed
nization Plan
Of the Present Board
Of Trade.

Every live town, every town which is
trying to induce people to locate within
its boundaries, which wants conventions,
or new enterprises, which is trying TO
advance In material prosperity, has an
organization of its business men of some.
kind or other.
In some places it's called Board of
Trade. In others, a Business Mems
League. In others again Retail Mer-
chants Association.
But whatever its name its purpose is
to aid the town and its members.
It's simply an organization of bus
iness men who want to advance their
3n interests, pure and simple.
It's olonger an expariment. Almost
every town from New York city down
to the least pretentious town has such
an organization, and they are doing
good and effective work.
The Hendersonville Board of Trade
has been through many trials and trib-
ulations. It has been accused of being
only shot air organization. The
good 1t has done has been lost sight OF
4 and most of its critics have been men
who refused to aid by their membership
and their little old 25c dues an organi-
zation of Hendersonville business men
who were working for HENDERSON,
WILLIE.
And don't ever forget that when you
benefit HENDERsoNvILLE you bene
T fit, more or less directly, every business
man in it,
One thing is certain, when the new
railroad is built it will be monument
to the board of trade. for in that organi
|, zation, the great scheme was originated
However. let's forget all that.
There must be an organization o
Hendersonville business men of SOM
!. kind.
At the next meeting of the Board, t
be held Thanksgiving night. a ne'
, secretary will be elected, and ne'
, plan of operations submitted to tn
/ meeting.
It will be proposed TO get ever
business man in town as member.
The meetings of the board will be held
Isay, once or twice year.
A board Of directors OF IL or Is Of th
best known men in town win be electe
Iby the board. to serve one year, withor
pay.
These men, with the secretary an
president, will do all the active work.
If there's chance to land conver
Etion here, it will be their business to tt
and land it.
They will work and work hard to g
manufacturing enterprises here:
They will attend to the very impol
tant matter of properly advertising tn
town.
For instance, an advertisement wou
be inserted in the Manufacturers r.
cord, and kept there all the time, ss
ting forth the advantages offered
this city as . site for differeus en'e
prises.
When inquiries are received. It y
be their duty to make the best on
possible under the circumstances.

Working along these and kindred |
lines, the results would be certain and
highly beneficial, and every man in
town would benefit thereby.
The dues should be fifty cents a
month.
A statement Of receipts and. expendi-
lures should be made, say every three
months.
If every business man in town joined,
there would be money enough for all
legitimate expenses, and the money
would be spent for the benefit of HEN
DERsONYILLE.
Asheville's growth and present popu-'
lat,ons of over 26. 600 is due in no small,
measure to the actjve, united and web
directed efforts of her business men to
push and talk a blow and advertise
ASHEvILLE.
What has been done there can be
here.
Under this proposed plan, there would
be no So called hot air. The directors
would do all the work. The results
would be published, when results are
obtained and not before.
The effective organization would be
there ready at all times to act, to seize
any opportunity to benefit the whole
community.
Bv electing the right men as directors
and the right man as secretary. with the
united support of the entire business in
terests of the town. the results would be
absolutely certain.
Some such plan will be submitted mex
Thursday night. it is believed.
TIE last meeting was fairly well at
tended. r. NJ. Oates, DR.. Kirk, DR.
Hunter, and others spoke briefly. Th'
advertising committee is working stead
lily, and will push that important mat
ter. They have had several meeting
and have fully decided upon their cours
of action. The ladies will be cal1et
upon to see the boarding house keepers
I6 is desirable to get the advertisins
out at as early a date as possible.

DISHONEST MONEY
BRYAN EMPHASIZES THIS IN WASH
 INGTON SPEECH.
Nebraskan COmmends the Churche. .rd Colleges for Not Accepting Pecu niary Gifts Which Were Not
 Morally Made.

Washington. April 14.-William J. Bryan addressed nearly two thousand persons at the New National Theatre this afternoon.
 He spoke under the auspices of the Young Mems Christian Association and took for his subject, "The price or peace"
 MT. Bryan concluded with praise for the colleges and churches that have declined to accept money from wealthy men who have gained their riches by dishonest methods"
 "One of our richest men," he said, has reached a point where he some times finds difficulty to find people to take his money. And that I regard as the best evidence of the growth of a moral sentiment in this country It means something when a great church pauses, hesitates, refuses to accept the money until 1t knows how 1t was made. I believe the time will come when churches and colleges will re- fuse to go into partnership in the spending of money immorally made. The influence of that public opinion will be a powerful factor in the re- storing of righteousness. These great institutions should say to a man You did not make your money honestly; we will not share the odium with Vou'"

The Imperial Hotel, corner Bibb and Commerce streets, will probably be con- verted into six-story building by the addition of two stories. B. Wolff, own CT and proprietor of the hotel, Is nov advising with architects in reference to the improvements, and he will prob ably know in day or two whether the additional stories will be built.
 With the Imperial Hotel two stories higher, the hostelry would contain about 120 rooms as CO.,. Jared with 60 rooms in the building as it now stands
 T am seriously considering putting on two stories" said Mir. Wolff yester- day. There is demand on us for more rooms, and only three Ir fur days ago l consulted architects regarding the ad- dition. Of course, I have no 'dea yet how much such Improvements would cost The estimate is one of the things I am waiting before deciding whether l will add the two stories. I can say however that, if the floors are put up, they will be substantially built and will correspond with the pr sent building"
 The Imperial Hotel, as it stands is four stories high and occupies a lot fronting 50 feet on Commerce Street and 120 feet on Bibb Street.
