BAPTIST ASSN
At PLEASANT
HILL CHURCH

The annual session of the Carolina
Baptist association, composed of thir-
ty-six churches of Henderson and
Polk counties, met with Pleasant Hill
church near Hendersonville on Thurs
day and Friday of last week.
The annual sermon, which was in
teresting and helpful, was preached
by Rev. R. N. Pratt, following which
all organization was perfected with,
Rev. A. /. Justice as moderator and F.
Il Brown as clerk.
Reports from churches were made
by Rev. K. w Cawthon and Mr.:
Brown. These reports were very en-
ccuraging, showing a total increase of
nearly 300 in new members during the.
past year. While some churches
showed large gains few reported a
loss.
Plans we're perfected for completing
a campaign for a new $4,000 admin
istration building at Fruitland insti-
tute, a popular preparatory school in
Henderson county.
The association closed Friday night
with interesting addresses and a good
those laboring for the
cause feeling encouraged over the
work of the past year.

THIEF GOT NO
WEDDING GIFTS

Presumably with the view of pilfer-
ing some of the numerous handsome
gifts of the Garlington-Edwards we'd
ding, thief entered their future home
on Oakland and 8th street Friday
night and took the contents of purse
after entering the window of Mr.. Gar
lington's room and making his way
into the dining room, where he found
the purse in a drawer. The purse
was left in the drawer and was found,
it is believed, by means of a flash
light of Mr.. Garlington's, which was
moved from it's position during the,
night.
Two persons, it is thought, we're in
terested in the robbery as the bare
foot tracks of small boy and the
shoe tracks of man were seen about
1e window. showing traces of where
he had climbed to the window on the
lattice work.
The home at the time of the rob-
berry was occupied by Mrs. A. F. Gar
lington and daughter, Mrs. Spratt, and
husband.

SATURDAY POST
APOLOGIES TO
.H.ENDERS0NV|LLE

When Secretary of State William
Jennings Bryan gave his reasons for
lecturing at the Hendersonville Chau-
tauqua, he started a worldwide news
paper controversy which has by no
means abated yet.
In fact, HendersonVille is the town
that made Mr.. Bryan really famous.
His experiences here inspired the
New York World to make him a stand
ing offer of $4,000 year if he would
discontinue his lectures while Secre-
tary of State, and the Saturday Even
ing Post of August 80 carried a most
interesting article about the Great
Commoner and his Hendersonville lee
ture.
The Posts article was interesting
but inaccurate. Mr.. Bryan came here
under the auspices of the Greater Hen
Jacksonville Club. Rev. r. N. Wilcox,
president of the club, promptly and
courteously asked for correction of
these inaccurate statements. The
Post, which, by the way, has mors
than two million subscribers and pos
sibly ten million readers. as promptly
and as courteously agreed to publish

Cost of Living in Washington, by
Henry B. Needham, the following
statement appears: con July thir-
teenth, the day being Sunday, Mr..
Bryan was billed to speak at Hender-
sonFille, North Carolina. The people
drove from miles round to hear their
Sc eretary of state. Most of these
country visitors were amazed, then
Tuade angry, when they found that an

their slender purses a large Zee.
Those who came late also found that
spectators had bought many of the
tickets and were selling them at
double the fixed price. The uneXpect-

s and will be signalized by a men S
supper, ODE served about O'Clock
Or November 6.
This supper will be free except that
a registration fee of 25 cents will be

The purpose of the Conference is
purely educational, inspirational and
spiritual. No collections viii be taken
and everything is absolutely free.
At a welI-attended and very enthu-
slastic meeting held last Thursday in
the directors room of the Peoples
National Bank, a general survey was
taken Of the situation, committees ap-
pointed, and the sum of 500 pledged
towards the expenses of the campaign.

sired towards making the conference
an unqualified success.

ALL churches in the county are urged
I" send their official members as del
egates, and to most earnestly ask all
members of their churches and con-
gregations to attend the conference.

II a general and profound spiritual
qulckening among the churches OF
henderson county. The opportunity
Is Is, here. The issues involved are vast.
Inc Perfect Man gave His life blood

churches of Henderson county are not
10 Ousily engaged in this worlds af-
,airs that they may not spare the

S4O.OOO.OO FOR
PAVING 9TH AVE?

If an outsider had dropped into that
meeting held in the city hall last
| Thursday night he would have left
with a very well-defned idea that
Hendersonville was growing some.
1t was really special meeting of
the city council, but as it happened to
be the regular meeting night of the
Greater HendersonVille club and as
the Club happens to meet in the same
place, it was really joint gathering,
as you might say.
There were many things discussed
by the council that mean a very great
deal for Hendersonville. For in
stance, there was petition presented
by Fifth avenue property owners, ask
ing for the paving of that fine thor
oughfare. The cost was variously es
timated at 100000 to $4,000. The pc
titioners asked that the street be
paved from Main street to the city
limits, a distance of one mile. The
property owners are to pay two-thirds
and the city one-third of the cost.
The discussion was interesting. Ac
ton was deferred until the next regu-
lar meeting night and in the meantime
Business Manager Justice will receive
certain information desired by the city
fathers.
Another matter discussed which
spells Greater Hendersonville" was
the new water supply for the city.
Hendersonville has good water now.
Tut not enough for the future-for the
immediate future, at that!
This fact is most significant of the
city's rapid growth. At recent meet
ing of the Greater Hendersonville club
the fact was emphasized that there
were practically no empty houses here.
that the demand for a certain class
of winter homes is far in excess of the
supply, and that $4,000 could be
proftably invested here in these
homes. These statements we're fresh
in the minds of that gathering of bus
mess men last Thursday night, and
while they listened to discussions in
volving the expenditure of possibly
100000 for needed civic improve
ments many of them thought of the
time, not long ago, when such talks
would have been considered hot air
and idle visions.
Paved streets, in the opinion of
many members of the club, are essen
tial to a city's growth. They point to
st. Petersburg as an example, where
an investment of $500,000 on civic i'm
resulted in selling last
year six million dollars worth of real
estate, to outside people, too.
The plans discussed for new water

J. A. MCINTOSH DENTISTS AND LOOKING FLOUR
GETS PATENT ON DRUGGISTS TOM|L[ SITE, INTER-
NOVEL RUG RACK COME IN JUNEIESPGSTATST|CS

IA. Mcintosh, secretary and treas
rrpr of the Hendersonville Furniture
company, has invented and secured
nstent on Space Saving Display Rug
Rack by means of which twelve rugs
ran be displayed in a space OF thirty
inches.
The device consists Of frame which
ran be attached to the ceiling and
which Is provided with rug holding
har, pair Of pullies and rope for each
rug. The rack is manipulated in q
manner which permits the display of
rug in suspended position while
the one in front is lowered.
This device by rug dealers has been
approved as being far superior to rug
holders now in use over the country by
reason of convenience and the small
place in which a dozen rugs can be ad-
yantageously displayed.
After recognizing the need of a more
convenient rug rack Mr.. Mcintosh
spent considerable time and thought in
preparing the new contrivance on
which a patent was issued in August,
having been applied for year ago.
He is having e supply of illustrated
literature prepared for the purpose of
advertising the rack, which will be
handled by travelling statesmen, Hen
dersonville being headquarters.

SAM IS
COUNTING Up
CASH TODAY
WASHINGTON, d. O., April 9

WASHINGTON, ID. O., April 0.
Nothing to do but count money.
Weigh great sacks of gold, paw
over great bundles of bonds, check
up ON notes. This may appeal to
the chap who can figure out his
whole fortune on the fingers of
his left hand, but it is proving a
bore to the employees of the Unit
ed States treasury department
who are shaving to give Carmi
Thompson clean bill and let
John Burke assume the treasur-
ership of the United States with
every penny Of Uncle Sans funds
accounted for.
The quadrennial count, which
began several days ago, is a task
which would take a single man,
counting dollar by dollar, some
500 years to finish. For there is
a billion and half in the vaults,
the biggest surplus known in the
history of the nation.
During the count, not a cent of
the money will leave the vaults.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
appointed a committee of en-
ployes to seal up the strong
rooms, saving out enough money
to meet current expenses, and un-
til the counters officially began,
the seals were unbroken. Armed
guards stand over the workmen
to see that they are not molested
and to guard against mistakes.
Some twenty years ago a work
man made a "mistaxe," putting
slugs of lead in several sacks of
silver. 1t took months to figure
out the shortage, the count hav-
ing practically to be done over.
AS 1t would be impossible for
the count to be made dollar for
dollar inside of many years, the
counters are working on the
weight basis. S..cks of gold and
silver containing $1,000 are caro-
fully weighed and used as
standard. BY these, the rest of
the money, similarly sacked. is
weighed on scales that register
almost to a hair. Thus, it is ex-
pected that the task will be COM
pleted in about two months After
all is verified, Mr.. Thompson will
turn over the cash officially to
Mr.. Burke, take a receipt for it
and heave one grand sigh-for he
no longer will be responsible.

Of the neurological ward of the

spiration, according to DR.. Baker,
was found in a medical magazine
several months ago.
THE treatment is simple
enough" DR.. Baker said. I'VE
ascertain just how much Of the
drug or alcohol the patient has
taken. We put him to bed and
give him five grains of blue mass.
The entire system is thus
cleansed. Then we administer a
compound cathartic and a pill con-
tanning one grain of belladonna,
one grain of anthylin and one
grain of eucalyptus. This dose
is repeated every hour for TWEEN
