TAX LISTING

July first is the last day on
which you may list your taxes
James Laughter is Hendersonvine
township lister and he may be
found at any time. in the grand
jury room at the court house.
It is said that something like
three or four thousand dogs win
be placed on the county tax list,
in addition to much other prev
iously undiscovered property.
While none of the officials will talk
for publication it is known that
the average valuations in the
county have been more nearly
equalized than ever before since
Henderson has been a county.

The Associations President.


Mr.. w. G. Wilkinson, the able pres
ident Of the North Carolina Bankers
Association is a big, handsome, well
set-up man, with brown eyes and a
close cropped mustache to match.
He makes an ideal presiding officer
and in his evening clothes and white
"Westcoat" he emanates, as you
might say, bodies of that dignity, inn
pr~essiveness, and so on, that is to be
expected from the presiding oficer
of so digni1ed a body as the North
Carolina Bankers Association.
Mr.. Wilkinson is cashier of the
Merchants and Farmers National
Bank of Charlotte, whose resources
amount to. the tidy little sum of ST.
462 600. His annual address formed
one of the most important news
stories in the state papers of Thurs
day, and it is a matter of comment
amongst the bankers at Kanuga that
his address was a mastery, concise
exposition of the financial PROBLEMS
confronting the Southern banker.
Mr.. Wilkinson is enjoying his stay
at Kanuga Lake, of which he is q
member and says that charming club
colony is really a little bit of Char
lotte t~ransplanted to a more delight
full cline.

.Hin-EHhank.

One of the most prominent wed
dings TINT has taken place of interest
to Hendersonville society during the
month of June was that of Mr..
Frank A. Ewbank to Miss Hill, daugh-
ter of Geo. T. Hill, a prominent bank
er of Tuskegee, Ala.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ewbank have just re-
turned from their wedding trip
through the North and are at home to
their friends at the residence of Mr..
F. E. Durfee, president of the Citi-
zens bank. An account of the we'd
ding which took place on the even
ing of the 7th of June appeared in
several of the daily papers of Alaba-
ma. The marriage was sOlemnized
Tuskegee with Rev. Thompson, the
pastor officiating. The Episcopal
ceremony was used as the groom is
a member of that church. The church
was deliberately decorated for the oc-
casion carrying out the color scheme
of white and green. There we're sew
eral hundred invitations issued to re
latives and friends of both the con-
tracing parties. Many out of town
people were present. After the cere-
mony a reception was rendered the
bridal party and friends at the home
of the brides father Mr.. George T..
Hill. Immediately after the recep-
ton the bridal couple took a forty
mile automobile trip to Montgomery
where they caught the North bound
train for their honeymoon trio. At
ter spending about ten days touring
the North the happy couple returned
Western North Carolina by way1of
Ashevil1e, remaining there one day
before returning to their home in this
city. Mrs. Ewbank has often visited
this city during the past summers
and is not a stranger. The happy
couple are receiving congratulations
from their many friends in this city.

WHEN OLD BALD RUMBLED.
Verocious Narrative Of a Youth
Whose Vocabulary Was Not
Purged Even by Extreme


Purged Even by Extreme
StatesviHe Landmark.
The Story that Bald Mountain
is rumbling again will call to the
minds of the older residents the
rumbling of that mountain in
1878 and the alarm that spread
through all the countryside. In
those days the means of travel
and communication were very
limited and the stories about the
Bald grew as they spread through
the country. The writer recalls
that it was said that people in the
vicinity of the Bald became so
alarmed that they even began to
pay their debts and get ready for
the end, and when ever folks be-
come so concerned about anything
that they r moved to pay their
debts you may know that their
interest is genuine. It is recall.
ed that Mr.. 7. j. Williams, of
Mooresville, hearing the story at
the time, remarked that it might
help matters if the earth would
shake a little in Iredell.
Judge Armfeld, however used
to tell the best story apout the
Bald. He said an old preacher
who lived in the vicinity of the
mountain had in his home a boy
given into his charge by tie
courts, who had che bad habit Of
swearing on all occasions. The
boys profanity worried the old
man much but he was unable to
break him of the habit. One
night the rumblings in the noun
tain were particularly loud and
terrifying. This DO yin the preach
er's home was aroused from sleep
by the noise, and crying out in
fear he hastily climei the ladder
down from the loft where he slept
to find the old preacher sitting By
the fire smoking his pipe, calm
and undisturbed. Shaking with
fear, the boy asked the old man if
he thought the Dav of Judgment
was at hand. Calmly the prea-
cher, answered that he didn't real
ly know but if it was they had
just as well be calm; that nothing
was to be gained by getting excit-
cd. Exasperated by the old mans
lack of sympathy with fears, the
boy cried out: "Yes-you, you
know, you prepared to go and /
ain't!"
Even when he though the last
day was at hand, the boy didn't
forget to swear and the old preach
er probably despaired of ever
breaking him Of the evil habit.

Mr.. Joseph G.. Brown.

A big man, big physically and big
Drained, whose personality inpresses
you with STRENGTH and a wonderful
reserve power N store, is Mr.. Joseph
G. Brown president Citizens National
Bank, Raleigh.
Mr.. Brown introduced Hon. Ed
ward B. Vreeland to his audience last
night in the assembly hall at Kanuga.
He Said that Mr.. Vreeland was fitted
in all respects to help solve the
country'A currency reform problem
and that as a banker, he brought to
the task a mind long trained, a powel
of logic and deep thinking which
would be of inestimable benefit to
the final solution of the question.
Hhere was a banker present in the
distinguished audience who remark
ed to his companion that much the
same might be said of Mr.. Brown
for he, too, has a trained mind and
without doubt could aid in wisely
reforming the country's currency. Mr..
Brown is a most successful f%inancier
and is entirely charmed with Western
North Carolina and its greatest expo
sition of club-colony life as SO admir-
ably being carried out at Kanuga
Lake.

Gone On Fayetteville Man.

J. B. Wilson of Fayetteville, a dele
gate to the Merchants Association, a
strong lover of fish and a stronger pro-
hibitionist, looked forward with water
ing mouth to a mess of mountain trout
when he arrived here. He ordered the
trout at his hotel, it was temptingU
prepared and placed before him.
Just as he was about to call to a
friend acquainted with the sincerity
of Mr.. Wilson's prohibition learnings,
told him about. the ten thousand gall
Ions of booze recently seized here and
added that the liquor had all been
emptied into a stream from which n
delicate dish in front of him.
Mr.. Wilson looked longingly at the
delicate dish in frot of him.
For a moment he ever held fork
suspended, but his concience was too
strong and rather than eat of his
~favorite dish contaminated by the UNI
holy touch of whiskey, he reluctantly
signaIled the waiter to remove the
temptation and confined his efforts
to other viands on the menu.
The next morning his friend wrote
him a note telling him of the trick
played and during the remainder on
the convention kept out of reach OF his

Henders0nuille,s Fine
Hotels ARE
Adequate

The statement was made at
Charlotte during the recent State
Medical Association convention
there, that Hendersonville hotel
facilities were inadequate to ac-
eommodate the four hundred del
egates expected to attend next
years gathering-which is to be
held right here in Hendersonville,
by the way.
DR.. L.. B. McBrayer, of Ashe-
vile, promptly contradicted that
statement on the spot-in a real
forcible manner. DR.. .McBrayer
said Hendersonville's hotel ac-

Why He Changed.

"Mr. .McAllister, why did you leave
the newspaper business and descend
to mere banking?"
The query was hurled at Mr.. H. M.
McAllister, president of the First
National Bank of Lumberton, by his
friend of long standing, Mr.. M. l..
Shipman, Commissioner of Labor and
Printing of North Carolina, who is
spending a few days in town.
"Well, III tell you, Mitch" vas
the reply of the one-time manager of
the Presbyterian Standard, that in
fuential paper published at Char
Iotte. "You, as a newspaper man
will appreciate the sacrifice / made
when 1 laid down the pencil for the
PEN. But 1 gave up the newspaper
simply because l realized the import
ance of getting into some business
where ] could help you poor pencil
~pushers!"

commodations were fully adequate
to handle the convention dele
gates, and that the hotel accom-
modations here were the equal of
any town in the State-not even
excepting Asheville.
Dr.. McBrayer, and the entire
Buncombe delegation worked
faithfully for Hendersonville dur
ing the hard fight made for the
convention, and to these gentle
men of Henderson S sister county
is due a very great deal Of credit
for the entirely satisfactory re-
suit of that fight.

men DEAL
IN REAL MONEY
Edward B. Yreeland.

To the student of conditions as
they are in this country, currency re-
form is of more vital Importance to
the people than nigh, low or no
tariff reform or any other legislation
now talked of.
Hon. Edward B. Vreeland, Con-
gresham from New York, vice
chairman National Monetary Com
mission, addressed the bankers at
Kanuga Lake last night on Proposed
Banking and Currency Legislation"
in a speech void of all confusing
phrases and and so simple that the
youngest bank clerk might under
stand.
The distinguished speaker looks
his part. He is tall, clean shaven
save for a close cut moustache, spare,
To emphasize a point he lightly taps
the index finger of his left hand with
his eye glasses. His speech was n
of pure logic-cold, clear reasons
why there must be currency reform
to check the increasing financial un-
rest. He made a plea for the re-
moval of the important question from
politics which touched a responsive
chord in the mind and heart and
brain of every banker present. Dur
ing his address he said that no state
"a more richly blessed with natural
resources than North Carolina, and
said the advance in real estate values,
in the state upon which all values
were based, was little short Of mar
velous.
Mr.. Vreeland's speech was so full
of statements and figures of popular
interest that it's reading in full would
not only be profitable but most in
teresting to bankers and laymen, too.
