the South. He stated that the number
OF inquiries now averaged $50 every
day IN the year, and that this year
the Southern Railway company was
spending in the neighborhood of $175,-
900 for advertising purposes and main
tanning HIS department.
Rev. r. NJ Wilcox was called on
for Henderson county and stated that
he felt sure that this county had re-
ceived at least 1900 per cent benefit
more than it had paid into the treas
ury Of the association. He said from
what he could learn Buncombe had re-
ceiVed 1000 times more than its pro-
rata shar9 Of the assessment therefore
he felt sure that Henderson county
was assessed 3 little too high. He stat
ed that the leading citizens of Hen
dersonville had given the matter care
ful study and felt now that $1,000 a
year would be far more within reason
for just assessment of this county
He asked the association to give this
a careful study and that If Henderson
would be allowed to remain in the as
sociation On this basis he felt sure
that the demands would be met promp-
tly.
Hon. w. A. Smith spoke also for
HendersonYille and Henderson county.
Mr.. Smith stated that the only way
he could express his feelings towards
the association was to call it the great
est association of its kind in America
Mr.. Smith remarked that the people of
this county were hardly awakening to
the real benefit of the association. He
stated that the Greater Hendersonville
Club would be the medium of getting
many of the towns best citizens to
understand that Henderson county
would receive untold benefits from the
Greater Western North Carolina as
sociation. He had felt the benefits al
ready as many others In the city, but
that when the majority of the citizens
OF Henderson county understood clear
tly the working Of this association Er
Smith stated that old Henderson coun-
ty would out rival any of the counties
he felt sure.
Mayor Station said he did not think
he could add much more to what had
already been said from his county. He
was in hearty accord with the workings
Of this association and felt that Hen
derson county would have a day of
awakening and soon be placed in the
front ranks of progressive counties of
the state. Mayor Station praised the
work of the Greater Hendersonville
club and its membership.
Horace Sentelle proprietor of The
Canton Observer invited the associaz|
ton to hold Its next meeting in the
city, Of Canton. This invitation was
seconded by the gentlemen from Way
nesville and with no objection it was
decided to hold a meeting sometime
in the early part Of May in the city
of Canton.

KEITH JUsTUs DIES.
Young Man of This City Succumbs Un.
timely Death Last Thursday.

CIm0ly DoaGn Last thursday
One of the sadest deaths to occur in
Hendersonville in many years was thai
of Keith Justus, son of Mr.. and Mrs
w. H. Justus, who passed away last
Thursday morning about 4 o'clock af-
ter few days Illness.
Young Keith, aged 81 years, was 9
general favorite among the younger
set of the city and many Of the older
set. His death cast gloom over the
city last Friday when the funeral SER
vices were held at O'clock at the
home of w. II. Justus. A large gath
ering of relatives, friends of both the
deceased and parents Of the young man
attended the services.
The services were conducted by Rev
A. L. Stanford, assisted by a choir that
rendered several selections. Inter
ment was made at Oakdale In the fam
lily burying plot.
About thirty of the young men OF
the city who were intimately acquaint-
ed with Keith Justus and many who
were warm personal friends acted as
honorary Dallbearers and each carried
a wreath of flowers from the home to
the grave yard The active pail bear
ers were Messrs. Al Edwards, G.. and
Ben Few, Frank Waldrop, Will Smith
and L. M. Hesterly.
The heart felt sympathy of the in
tire community is extended the bereav-
ed family.

Easter Hats at The Mercantile.


More lovely hats would be difficult
to find than those exhibited at the
Mercantile last Friday and Saturday
A small turban Of the new shade OF
Stone Blue with Nell Rose bow on
back of hat was triking and simple
in taste. Large white hats elaborate
ly trimmed were interesting for the
summer girl A,specially artistic large
black velvet had-a wreath of pink roses
and foliage with q handsome large
bow of dresden ribbon directly in the
back.
Another lovely picture hat for a
young Miss was large soft hemp hat
with its sole ornamentation band OF
of wide black velvet, and an exquisite
bunch of pink roses on one side.
A large two tone black and white
hat with a plated band of black vel
vet about the crown, had two large
white French plumes sweeping grace
fully toward the back, this thirty dol
lar creation received much admiration.
For nine and ten dollars truly beau
tiful summer hats Of fine style and
taste were found in varied styles. A
large hat entirely Of black with a
unique arrangement of Maline on the
crown and p1umes was much favored.
Another black hat much admired was
large and made OF rich lace and chiffon
and also was adorned with plumes.
On opening Day the windows of the
Mercantile were tastefully decorated
with few of the lovely hats and soft
silks in the pale mauve shades and
were suggestive of the Good Old Sum-
mer Time fast approaching.

BIG ROAD DEVELOPMENT
FOR NORTH HENDERSON
.BLANTYRE FARM TO FRONT
In DEMONSTRATION WORK

Mr.. c. B. Williams and Mr.. W. f.
Pou, of Raleigh are making the rouMdf
/; OF the State Department of Agriculture
fertilizer plot work. They were at the
Blantyre Farm with r. w. Collett
manager, last week. This farm is now
under the active management of Mr.. j
3 Davidson a young man raised in
1.-THE mountains and familiar with the
needs and wants Of mountain farmers
The Blantyre farm is taking on new
life under his management. At pres
ent, he is grading roads in the steep
mountain orchard preparatory to
spraying and careing for the trees in
the most approved manner This or
chard is expected to be not only a test
of varieties, Of which the State has
! over fifty but an object lesson in the
care and management of orchards on
steep land. While it Is not the policy
Of the department of agriculture to en-
courage clearing lands especially steep
wooded slopes, but in this work they
expect to show these lands, may be
turned to good account in growing ap-
pies. when people insist on clearing
away the forest.
In the future Mr.. G. B. Williams, the
director Of the experiment station at
Raleigh will spend considerable time
in directing experimental work on the
test farms and expects to make
them of even more value than in the
past.
The board of, agriculture seems to
have recognized the Importance of ex-
perimental work on these state-oWned
farms and is showing disposition to
make liberal appropriation for the
work, recognizing that farms are the
farmers laboratory where experiments
are tried out that he as an individual
cannot undertake. Experiments that
fail are of equal value to the farmer
as those that secceed. But the indi-
vidual farmer must follow methods
that have succeeded, whether they are
the best or not. He cannot afford to
experiment to a great extent. These
farms are where his failures are to be
made, also the lines marked out for his
greater success and the department of
agriculture stands ready, at all times,
to give help and advice, based on q
careful study of results obtained on
these test farms. The people are be-
ginning to realize how much of local
problem farming really is. Things
true in the mountains are not neces-
sarily true In the piedmont section, or
on the coastal plain, hence the necessi-
ty of having these farms in different
sections Of the state.
In the mountains it is found that
large amounts of phosphoric acid are
needed for good crops, but little, If any,
potash. This is not true in the CEN
tran plains. Many varieties of corn,
oats, wheat, etc., show adaptability to
one, but not to others.
1t is encouraging to note that the
Blantyre farm is to receive more at
tention. The $500 appropriated by the
board ofagriculture for experimental
work there this year will help wonder
fully and the farmers of that section
who study the problems presented are
going to reap harvest Of excellent
suggestions.
