not be accomplished unless we all get
together and work together and pool

Hendersonyille Club is the "get-togeth-

four thousand dollars and that can ac-
complish just what we have dreamed

Once upon a time there was a fairy,
cI genii, or magician or something,
who had a magic lamp. or ring, or
wand or something, which If you
rubbed. or waved, or touched, or some
thing gave you everything you wished
for-wealth, or servants, or palaces or
dollar-a-month telephones, or pure wa
ter, or street cars, or good roads, or
honest meter readers, or anything you
wanted. That, best beloved. was all
once upon time. Now we live in de-
generate times when one has to hustle
to get one one-thousandth of what one
wants, O best beloved. Yea one has
to touch himself muchly, and get up
early and very late take his rest If he
is going to be in the swim at all. This
is true, o best beloved, and you know
it. Never forget that we live now and
not once upon a time. Dream IL you
will but you must hustle to make your
dream come true.
We dream, you and /, of greater
Hendersonville and the dream Is good !;
but-write it big BUT we have no
magic lamp or ring to rule or wand to
wave to make a greater city for us, If
We want it we, you and /, must make
it for ourselves. Are we man enough,
strong enough, intelligent enough to
accomplish our dream Of a city worthy
of our climate, our glorious scenery,

COOPERATION, THE key NOTE
DR.. L. B. Morse

OF trade, or in business enterprise is
FAITH. It's a straight case of believ-
ing in ones job. After faith comes
personal service. It's a poor sort of
faith that isn't backed up by deeds, and
deeds in this instance mean co-opera-
ton.
There are dozens of men in Hender-
scnville who attend to their business
faithfully; attend to their advertising
but do not attend the meetings ofthe
Greater HendersonvilIe club. Why? i
believe it is due to the fact that the
average man is lacking in the proper
sort of confidence. He forgets that it
iesexaetly his presence, his service that
viii make the club a success. It is
only through cooperation that the
larger results can be attained A few
men can never accomplish it.
Our club needs nothing so much as
the spirit of cooperation. AS potent
as is the need for new members, it is
relatively not as important as is the
active support of the members we now
have. AS I have so many times said
before this organization: Men, rather
than the accident of location, are re-
sponsible for the growth of cities"
If each and every member would give
the Greater Hendersonville Club his
moral support and attend it's meet
ings, there is no estimating the ben
efits which could and would be realiz-
e6.
Let US all put our shoulders to the
wheel, show the faith that is In as and
prove it by our works-through CO.
operative serVice-for the good Of our
little cftv

be allotted to me to tell the many
things that the Ladies' Auxiliary Club
ought to do, can do and will do. /
will, therefore, confine myself to a
brief statement as to what they have
done and what they are doing.
At the first meeting In the parlor OF
the st. John Hotel, they started tenn

president, vice president and secretary
At a subsequent meeting they divided
the town into ten sections with definite
boundaries for the organization OF
minor clubs, and appointed chairman
to be known as a vice president or the
minor club, and this lady was asked 70
organize all the ladies in her section
and send representatives to a meeting
of the major club. These minor cIuDs
are expected, through their represent
atiyes. to elect q permanent presloent,
vice nresident, recording secretary anu
corresponding secretary. This makes
tha number of officers equal 10 al
cburches and while it iS not a cnurch

VALUE CLUB TO REAL ESTATE
By E. w. Ewbank

Complying with your request that /
contribute an expression of opinion
rs to the value of the Greater Hender-
sonville Club to the real estate dealers
OF the town, l have to say that this or
ganization is matter of as much i'm
portance to every branch of business
enterprise that the community en-
braces as anything VITAL possibly
can be!
A we'll organized, systematically
conducted and universally supported
business club or chamber of commerce
is an indispensable institution in any

Grafton should and will advance the
interests of every industry however
great or small-whether dealers in
dirt, distributors of supplies, manu-
facturers or works along any other
line of endeavor.
can think of no desirable and law
full business or occupation which is not
benefited by the work of suOh club
and I can think of no advantage &C
cruing to one line of business over
that of another in the proper conduct
Of the organization. The result is
bound to offer an equal distribution
of benefits and bear fruit according to
the capacity of the individual MEM
bers of the community to prepare
their fields for harvest.
The prime object Of the Greater
Hendersonville Club is to SO exploit
the great natural advantages which
we have and to urge the crea-
ton and adoption Of some we have not
and sorely need, and which can be had,
such as the construction Of decent
and durable roads and highways-that
desirable seekers after new ZONES
may be induced to locate here wheth-
er to- engage in business, to live in re-
tiTement or merely to divide Sir time
with us. What we want is population!

WAR DECLARED AMONG
OUR BEST CITIZENS
PITCHED BATTLE ON MAIN STREET TO-DAY FOR
NEW MEMBERS OF c. H..
War has begun!

A@~SS
A fierce battle is waging in the city
between the most prominent citizens
il fight for the most new members
of the Greater Hendersonville Club.
In the club council rooms last Tues
day night the officer Of each army met
and made preliminary arrangements
as to the tactics and methods OF war.
The Yellow Jackets sprang into ex-
istence, even before the war was de-
clared. Captain H. C. Meyer, was on
the alert choosing for his army, men
who are beyond question OF DOUBT
the best workers in the city. Inc
Yellow Jackets will have easy sa1l1Hg
in getting every able bodied citizen
into the Club who is not q eady
member. 7Tf'
The Hornets composing G crowd OF
left overs headed by Captain S. 7.
Hodges will endeavor to- amHse the
public with the Wills of a weak army
seeking the aid of the strong.
Mr.. Citizen, you cannot atord 10
listen to the cries Of the Hornet, when
right in your midst yoH can be cared
for in the folds Of the Yellow Jackets
camp. A word to the wise Is sum-
cient.
This campaign for new members
will last until March 1st- Woe TO

cries of either army.

Why are there some two thousand
boards of trade in America? One
might as we'll ask similar questions as
to the reason for the existance of many
other institutions. Is it reasonable to
suppose that they exist solely for the
purpose of furthering species of
town oratory? Is it equally likely
that these commercial organizations
have a purely political or personal
basis for their existance? Surely
think. not. What then is the reason
for their existance? Is there but one
logical conclusion, viz: that they get
results.
1t is hardly conceivable that the
typical American business man would
spend his money for thing that didn't
yield results. Let us assume that the
hundreds of thousands of board of
trade members are not deceived-that
boards Of trade DO get results
There is probably as much difference
in the results attained from boards OF
trade as from private commercial en-
terprizes. There are good and bad
boards Of trade-live ones, and dead
ones. Some are ruined by politics.
some by private selfish interests, some
few (perhaps) by fnisdirected effort.
The great majority Of the dead ones,
however, are dead because they have
always been dead-they- were born
dead. They may have had few brief
hours of apparent life, but they have,
in truth, always been beyond the hope
of any sort OF stimulation. They were
conceived In doubt, bred in suspicion
and matured In lack Of faith.
The quality most needed in board

for and makes the price of lands,
swells the consumption and commodi-
ties of every description, requires more
labor to distribute the increase, more
houses to furnish them, more railroads
to deliver them; better, quicker and
more up to date means Of local trans
portation. In short, the cultiplication
portation In short, the multiplication
of business -everybodys business! 1t
matters not what kind of business or
whose!
The Greater Hendersonville club
ought to be our municipal adding ma
chine To add properly it must have
universal support and every interest
in the community must be represented.
It must work systematically and regu-
larly to be effective Like any other
machine, articulation must be uniform
and sustained with mechanical regu-
larity and every man in the city
should represent some unit of power in
the correlated whole. Spasmodic, IN
termfttent effort will not avail. No
machine gives perfect service when
any of it's parts are out of alignment
and neither can an organization for the
promotion Of the public good do per-
feet service unless it has the support
of all those whose benefit it seeks to
promote.
With the thoroughly sustained and
universally supplied support Of the
citizens, and all OF the citizens, of the
city the Greater HendersonVille Club
can be tremendous force in the de-
velopment of our town and the ad-
vancement of the prosperity OF
our people. It's value should be In
eStimable!

it's power for good can not be estima-
ted, but will soon be recognized to the
extent that we will all ask "Why is 1t
that this power for strength has not
been sooner developed"
1t is believed that there is not enc
lady in ~Hendersonville who does not
feel an interest in the good to be ac-
complished and when informed as to
it's object and it's power for usefulness,
will neither be too weak nor too busy
to Join hands with this organization.
It costs nothing for lady to become
q member of the Auxiliary Club, and
every lady is eligible to membership,
and is expected to become a member.
The work of the Auxiliary Club can
not be entirely Independent from that
of the GreateN Hendersonville Club
but in many matters will not be. There
are many things which can only be
done by the combined of both of the
clubs. Either club will be at liberty
to call upon the other for assistance.
One of the strong points Of this organ
ization is the fact that it Is organized
hy Hendersonville for Hendersonville
and is and will be in many particulars
novel.
/ have asked the ladies from the be-
ginning and still am begging them not
to undertake to accomplish any work
until the Club is thoroughly organized
and until every section is thoroughly
officered and ready for work. IL this
admonition is observed Hendersonville
will have the, most complete organiza-
ton that can be found In any town,
