Treasuy's Emergency Currency
Fund Announced to Silence
Attacks by Banks.

WASHINGTON. June 12.-The real
reason for the statement issued by
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
last night, in which he declared
$500OO0OOO could be distributed
throughout the country to prevent a
panic. is that certain New York
banks are trying TO discredit the
financial reform measures of the ad-
ministration. The information came
to-day from source near to the
secretary.
The direct announcement was made
to-day from the Secretary of Treas
ury's office that last nights state
ment had no relation to stock market
condition but was made in response
to numerous inquiries during the past
few months as to what the treasury's
attitude would be in case Of applica-
tion by banks for an issue of emer-
'gency currency under the Aldrich-
Vreeland act
The department was informed it
is stated. by a number of bankers
that some difficulty might be expe-
rienced in moving the large crops
during the fall and if they had the
assurance that Government relief
could be had they would meet the
situation.

Stock List Receivers
In Snappy Market.

NEW YORK. June 12.-In one Of
the snappiest markets that New York
has known in many a month, the New
York Stock Exchange operators to-
day recovered their nerve and the
stock list recovered its substance with
an Improvement in all lines. Steel,
supported by the big interests that
are understood to have picked up a
Iot of the stock i'm the bear dives, led
the way. and Canadian Pacific, the
outside offender in yesterdays tribu-
lations, picked up a big slice of its
losses
The action of the Secretary Of the
Treasury i'm offering to give the
banks the benefit of the s500,000.000
emergency currency created a strong
feeling i'm the street and wrought a
confidence that was lacking in many
quarters In addition, call money was

extremely easy for those who wished

1t has been limited by hundreds of

we are constrained to attribute their

Why there are not more serious and
crossing at the Southern Railway
station than there are, is a mys-
terry for which an explanation is
asked every day. Without doubt that
crossing is one of the most dangerous
possible to find anywhere. 1t is TAX
ing ones life in his hands every time
tine tract near the station is crossed.
1t is an evil which the city authorities
should abolish this very hour. The
railroad should be required to put UP
crossing gates such as are demanded
by every other municipality in the
land where the life of the citizen is
given any value. Near accidents oc-.
cur there every day and this death trap
of the councilman and the place of
business OF another Why has this
nuisance been allowed all of this time?
Does not the city council realize that
one life is of more value than the ex-
rense that the railroad would be put
to by the employment of a Waterman
for a hundred years Has this council
no regard for the safety of it's city's
people. How can thinking men,
endowed with good ems and judg-
ment, elected by the people to attend
to the peoples business and guard
their lives by proper regulations and
laws, look these people in the face
with a clear conscience when this
death trap is waiting to claim one. of
them as it's victim at almsot any mo-
ment? Several accidents have Oc-
CURED at this crossing recently and
why deaths have not resulted, God only
knows. Surely the city has the power
to force the railroad to put up the reg
ulation gates and maintain them as
elsewhere and surely the men COM
posing the council have the necessary
grit to make this reasonable demand
for the protection of the city's people.
We can scarcely imagine that the rail-
road company would attempt to deny
such a reasonable and necessary re-
quest were it made, for the railway is
interested in the protection of life at
it's crossings. A fatal accident may
occur at this place today Or tomorrow
or next week and YOU may be the
victim.

The Greater HendersonVille Club
will have accomplished it's greatest
triumph when it has extended the
season" another month. There is no
reason why visitors should hurry
away in September when October will
give them the greatest delight. In ract
this is the g~eratest of all year round
resorts and we must prove this fact to
the world. The way to do it is to adj
vcrtise it. A liberal use of printers
ink we'll placed will bring thousands
here where hundreds now come and
they will stay three and four months
in place of three and four weeks.

FARMERS RALLIES.

A series of farm and school rallies
are to be held in this county under the
direction of farm demonstration E. L.
Perkins, who is working under dis
trict agent E. S. Millsaps, in the es-
Enlistment oe a farm demonstration
bureau in this county. 4
IT will be remembered that the coun-
ty authorities and the Greater Hender-
sonville Club accepted the proposition
made by the government towards plac-
ing in this county a farm demonstra-
tor.
Mr.. Perkins is now ON the job. He
will begin at once getting acquainted
with our farmers. Headquarters will
be established at the court house and
he will be in his Office every Saturday
where any one desiring information
can find him.
With the cooperation Of the farm
ers of this county this work can re-
suit in great good for the county. There
is not a class of citizens in the entire
country upon which the world is more
dependable than the farmer. Let him
take advantage of these lectures and
rallies, seek information of the in
structor who has been trained by the
government and he will find that his
reward will be in the shape of a much
larger and more profitable crop the
rext year.
The farmer who persists in using the
back woods" methods in preference
to the scientific ways placed at his
very door, will wake up at no far dis
tant time and find that his neighbor is
prospecting beyond expectations and
that he has advanced in nothing but
years by staying in the same old rut.
The majority of the farmers in this
county desire a change and are eager
to improve themselves and their meth
DDS in farming. They will attend the
rallies and a new era is fast approach
ing.

FULL-TIME

A full time secretary for the Create"
Hendersonville Club; a man with pub
!icity experience, a man with energy
and reliability,-that should be what
every member of the club should in
sist on and demand. Right now is
the logical time to get such a man; it
is the psychological moment for the
growth and development of the club
and for the greater and more rapid
growth of our beautiful Roof Garden"
city.
With such a man anG with the ma
terial that lies ~undeveloped on every
hand, H"endersonville and her adj
vantages and development could be
made a household word all Over the
country. The club life alone around
Hendersonville affords ample text for
almost unlimited exploitation in pap
Pers and magazines; Laurel Park and

Green River development another, and
so on. If such a man did nothing hut

THE CITY'S PURIFICATION,

According to a news item which ap-
peared in the Democrat of last week,
the Hendersonville city authorities
have at last awakened to the fact that
there has been Illegal liquor selling
end card playing going On within its
limits. AS a result of this awakening
a spectacular raid was made upon the
denizens of the depot neighborhood
which resulted in the arrest of nine
men charged with the unlawful selling
of liquor. ALI of those arrested were
known to the police of the city and no
element of mystery whatsoever had
eve been known to cloak their move
Taents. Be this as it may, the informa-
ton upon which the arrests were made
vas furnished by two imported detec-
tives, who had been hired by the city
at considerable expense and who had
irgratiated themselves into the friend
ship Or acquaintanceship of their in
tended victims and secured or are al
legged to have secured from them some

rested was a bell boy or other servant
of the Hotel Wheeler who was charged
!ry n of the detectives with having
procured for him while the latter was a
pretended OF real guest of the hotel, a
: pint bottle of whiskey. The cases of
al of the men arrested, came duly up
1oI a hearing after the aforesaid de-
" tectives had worked on the several
cases for about two weeks, and His
Honor, Mayor Shepherd bound the
whole bunch over for trial before the
proper court in the sum of $500 each.
Now we are glad to learn that the
local authorities after SO long a time
-Leve decided that the laws shall be
enforced and this raid on the depGe
section of the city has had the effect of
convincing many that they are in earn
ost in the publication movement. We
might also be convinced that such is
the case were it not for the fact that
the detectives gave up the hunt for
'blind tigers" long before all of these
. animals had been captured. AS a mat
ter of fact the hunt wa only begun
and only a few Of the "~cripples" have
been apprehended. 1t also appears
quite extraordinary that the local po-
lice force, which is by no means over
worked, was unable to bring any of the
: alledged cu1prits to judgment without
She aid Of outsiders who were total
strangers and who were necessarily
coached by the local authorities in
finding their prey.
It occurs to the Democrat that the
city Of Hendersonville is too greatly in
need of funds for serious public i'm

THE PELLAGRA CONFERENCR


That pellegra is not transmissib1a
by an direct contect was the con-
Cured theory of the eminent physi-
clans, who have. given this new dis
case their careful attention for some
time, at the recent pellegra confer
ence in Spartanburg.
Three of local physicians attended
this conference last week with the
hope of finding light on the battling
problem that they might become bet
ter able to rid this community of such
a sorely menacing disease.
While Henderson county has had
rather fewer cases of Pellagra than
other near by counties yet there have
been enough cases proving fatal here
to give the disease sufficient import
ance for careful study. These doctors
were not delegates to the conference;
they paid their own expenses. They
gave their time without thought of
personal compensation and are de-
serving of much commentator.

Asheville on Sept. 9th. The spectacle
itself is an attraction that should fill

who live in c~ontributory towns, even
farmers and their families, to see the
manificent wOrdless play that is an
immense attraction in the largest
cities. 1t is enacted with a cast of
1850 actors, a grand opera chorus, an
orchestra of 100 soloists, a ballet of
$40 dancing girls, $50 horses, five
herds of elephants, of cam
els, and a, %trainload of special devices,
costumes, and scenery and electrical

The regular circus program is the
finest the Barnum and Bailey manage
ment has ever offered. Thrilling acts
are presented by Katie Sandowina,
the strongest and most beautiful wo-
ran before the public; Mae Wirth, the
greatest of all riders; a company of
Japanese wrcstlers, athletes, swords
Elen and jiu jitsu experts, W~inston's
