Hendersonville, N. c., Nov. %. 1913.
Dear Editor:
I see in the Hustler-Democrat and
the Asheville Citizen that County Su-
perintendent Shitle has visited the
Fruitland and several other schools.
He says the attendance is bad; says
the fault is that the attendance, officers
have failed to do their duty. Now, in
the case at Fruitland, I differ and in
yite an investigation. AS to the others,
/ know nothing These are the facts:
In my case the school commenced
about the first of August 1 received
one weekly report in September and on
Oct. "a 1 received reports for the three
weeks of that month. received no
other reports till after Mr.. Shitle was
here on the 21st of November. I re-
ceived reports for the first two weeks
of this month The school in all is or
will be about five months term, but
three weeks to teach and and I have
received reports for six weeks and
them scattered over four months and
half of them had been made out two
and 3hree weeks before they we're sent
to ma. r. M. PRYOR,

FOUNDER OF WOODCRAFT TO
VISIT HENDERSONVILLE.
]. c. Root and E. b. Lewis, PrOmi-
nent WOOdmen to Come for Dis.
trict Meeting.

Hon. J. G. Root of Omaha, Neb., the
founder of all woodcraft, will be
visitor in Hendersonville during this
month, according to telegram re-
ceiyed by the local Woodmen Sunday
The big campaign for new members
was waged two months ago as a re-.
suit of which Woodnen from various
sections of North and South Carolina
will be in HendersonyilIe December
1S when about 200 candidates Wll
be initiated, the. degree work to be
conferred by the White Pine Camp of
Hendersonville.
The district comprises fifteen coun-
ties in Western North Carolina and
the local camp is the largest in the
territory embraced.
Mr.. Root is regarded as one of the
greatest fraternity men of the coun-
try and in view of his prominence the
local camp is confident that there will
be several thousand Woodmen from
the two Carolinas who will avail
themselves of the rare opportunity of
seeing and hearing the founder OF
this popular order.
In addition to Mr. Root, e. B. Lewis,
sovereign manager, will be here from
Kinsten.
The campaign for new members has
been waged throughout the district
and some idea of its effectiveness can
he gained from the fact that there
will be about seventy candidates in
tue city to Join the fresh meat parade
of nearly two hundred from other
parts of Western North Carolina. The
candidates will be paraded up and
down the thoroughfares Of Hender-
sonville during the afternoon of De-
cember 1S to their modification. The
degree work will be conferred at
night, the local Woodmenr being in
excellent shape for this responsible
work.

pFSULT-BRINGING MEETING OF
GREATER HENDERSONYILLE CLUB
With Unusually Large Attendance
Club Has Enthusiastic Meeting
and Deals With Many I'm
pOrtant Subjects.
(By T. R. Barrows, Secretary Greater
Hendersonville Club

(By T. R. BarroWs, Secretary Greater
Hendersonville Club
The largest and most enthusiastic
meeting of the9Greater Hendersonville
club held in many month was that
Of last Thursday night. About thirty
business men were present; the coun-
ill chamber was crowded to the limit
and eseryone present seemed to have
. good time. The absence of long
drawn out remarks, the interest mani
tested and the Importance of some OF
the matters touched upon were some
of the characteristics of the meeting.
The club is actively at work endeav-
oring to secure one and possibly two
small industrial enterprises here. De-
tails of it's plans made public now
would work only harm but there is a
reasonable prospect of locating enter
prises here in the near future, This
matter was mentioned at the meeting
and an interesting discussion follow
ed. A vote was taken and not man
opposed trying to get industrial enter
prises for Hendersonville.
w. A. Smith made his position un-
mistakably clear. He said he would
do as much as any man towards
bringing such enterprises here bur
any talk of locating a cotton mill,
for instance right in the city, was un-.
reasonable Such a mill would re-
auire too much land, and Henderson
Vile land is too high priced for such
purposes. He repeated his willing
aess to help secure Industries to be
located on the outskirts of the city.
Mr.. Smith seemed to reflect the opin-
ion of every man present.
The meeting was called to order
by President r. N. Wilcox. The MIN
utes of the last meeting were read and
approved and several communications
read. Among them were the follow
ing:
From MessrS. ST. John.
Hendersonvil1e, Dec. 2, 1913.
Mr. Barrows, Sec'y,
Dear Sir: Some time ago we pro-
missed to give 800 to the advertising
fund of the Greater Hendersonville
club.
We wish to withdraw the contribu-
ton and limit our contribution to SO
membership. We understood when
we signed for the 500 that only ho-
tells contributing WHAT WAS JUST
we're to be represented in the Greater
Western North Carolina Booklet also
the Greater Hendersonville club ad-
gertising.
If parties contributing nothing are
tc be given same space and privileges
as parties contributing 500 we prefer
to contribute nothing.
However if ONLY parties contribut-
ing are represented we will be glad
to contribute 800 as originally pro-
missed.
We hope you may, not misunder-
stand this letter.
Very truly yours,
THE ST. JOHN HOTEL.
In reference to this the following
resolution was adopted:

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 28.-FootbalI in
Dixie this season promises to prove ev-
en- more complex than it has in PREF
ious years With the smoke of Sat
urdays gridiron battles throughout
the south cleared away, experts toda--
are busily figuring on the compare
tive strength Of the various elevens
which will battle for the S. l. A. b..
championship of 1913.
Easily the greatest surprise among
Saturdays games was the Georgia
Virginia clash. 1t had been predicted
that Georgia would not be able to
hold the heavier veterans from Char
lottesville to a close score, and many
Georgia supporters admitted that the
hopes of the Red and Black were
limited to scoring. The fact that Vir-
ginia was held to tie until the last
few minutes of play, and won by the
narrow margin of 10 to 6, therefore,
was regarded as distinct surprise
Vanderbilt's poor showing against
Michigan proved a surprise. Yost's
Wolverines apparently outclassed the
Commodores in every department, an
predictions now are made by gridirol
experts that Vanderbilt will have TO
show great improvement in order to
meet the standard play set already by
Auburn, Georgia and Sewanee.
Sewanee's stubborn fight with Texas
at Dallas indicated that the Tigers are
| important factors in the S. /. A. A.
race. Florida's showing against tn ;
Georgia Tech was also a surprise, it
having been thought the Floridians
would prove easy picking for the Ye.-
low Jackets. Auburn recently defeated
Florida by a large score, while the
best the Georgia Tech could do was
to win 13 to g. While Georgia Tech
was having its hard battle with Flor
ida. Auburn was rolling up a score &C
"a to against Mississippi A. & NJ
team always regarded as strong
contender for southern football hon
ors.
While much of the scoring of these
games was the direct result of clev-
erly executed forward passes, it wGs
significant that the majority OF the Win
ming teams depended for their ground
gaining on straight football" with
few trick formations. AS a result the
element of luck was not a deciding

Straight lined frocks are charmingiy
suited to either the decorative ma
terials now modish or the plain fab
RIGS. The oddly patterned crepes, silks
and novelty stuffs need little trimming,
none unless it be collar and cuffs of
plain material to offset the too decora-
tive appearance or for contrast. The
plain materials may be collared and
cuffed most effectively with the bro
cades and figured silks.
Although we have draperies and
overdraperies. the plain, straight skirt
with it's accompanying plain blouse is
still popular and in good style.
