TEST girl IN the room called upon
Commissioner Watson of South
Carolina. Nj. Watson responded
in his usual happy vein, saying
he and his associates had had an
awful good time, I" and their stay
in Hendersonville would be long
remembered. He spoke of the du-
ties of the organization, saying
their work was one for the uplift
of humanity.
Hon. Charles j. Fox, of Balti-
more, in a charming voice burst
forth with a song that was catchy
and real entertaining, for it
greatly diversified the program,
after he had spoken of the very
pleasant stay here and the notice
able hospitality of the people.
Mr.. Louis A. Ravens, of Albany,
N. Y, gave an exquisite specimen
of q song about a Southern soldier

sions of appreciation of Hender-
sonville's hospitality. Z
Mr.. Edgar T. Davis, of Chicago,
had an excellent voice for music,
but he preferred to give vent to
his extreme pleasure on being In
Hendersonville by simple speech,
replete with words that expressed
a high appreciation for the many
courtesies he and his brethren had
been shown. Mr.. Davies paid
high tribute to the ladies of the
city and thought he would like to
stay right here all the time.
Mr.. Edward W. Van Duyn, of
Des MoineS, Iowa, had many good
things to express, and found the
girls just as pretty In Henderson
vile as anywher in the south and
much more charming than some of
the cold chilly ones of the north.
The last response was made by
Mr.. G. E. Warren, of Guthrie, Ok
lahoma. Although he was last on
the program and from the infant
state of 30. K, he convinced his
receeding speakers that the whole
ground had not been covered, by
dispensing wit, and making plen-
ty of fun and merriment for the
occasion. Although he hailed
from a new state, he is by no
means a novice when it comes to
expressing things nicely and es-
pecially about a town like Hender-
sonville. Said he was not sur
prised to find such a warm well
come here. Being a Southerner
himself he knew just what would
happen.
Delegates Take Their Leave.
The International Factory In
spectors and Labor Commissions
ers Of the United States and Can
ada left Hendersonville this morn
ing en- route to Columbia, singing
the praises of Hendersonville.
Suitable conveyances to the de-
lpot were provided for them by the
reception committee.
As the train was rolling into the
yard Mr.. Will NJ. Maupin, of Ne
braska, yelled out, whats al
right?" to which the swelling
chorus "Hendersonville'' from a
score or more of husky voices
echoed far and wide. With voices
overlooking with expressions of
gladness they departed singing.
"Hendersonville, Hehdersonville.
Hendersonville. She's alright.
etc"
This marked the departure OF
one if not the most distinguished
gathering of men that has ever
been assembled in Wetsern North
Carolina. Hendersonville made
them proud of their coming and
will have her name sung far and
wide because of her hospitality by
men and women who know how
to appreciate "a good thing wher
they see It."
