ORGANIZED CHARITIES.

A committee of representative citi-
zens of Hendersonville met Monday to
discuss ways and means of organizing
for charity work.
The people of Hendersonville pos
sess a kind-hearted benevolent spirit.
they are willing to help in cases OF
real need, but for the purpose OF as
pertaining the needy among those who
apply, a charitable organization is
needed. While it should not be the
object of this organization to minimize
the charity work of the churches, 1t
should be a central organization for
the purpose of receiving and distri-
tuting contributions to those who are
in real need and are not being cared
for by the churches.
An institution of this kind will NIL
a great need, giving well-devised
system by which we may find out the
cases of actual need, trustworthy
agency by which we may reach such
cases with beneficence and at the
same time a judicious use of rel1ef so
IS to lift up the destitute to self-sup-
rort. To give with what might DC
called a loose-handed charity to every
applicant at the door, simply out OF
pity or for fear of being unkind to a
needy person, is likely to be wasteful
OF benefcene and encourage thriftless-
ness for there are crooks and dead
Leafs among beggars as we'll as other
classes of men.
1t is to be hoped that some practical
plan may be worked out whereby the
organization may grow and extend its
operations. and have funds and sup
plies to be given in worthy cases and
systematic method whereby funds
may be acquired for charity. Hen
Jacksonville is a small city and could
not naturally expect to do very great
things along this line, but the organl-
cation should be formed along this
lines that will permit it to keep pace
with the rapid growth of the city and
changing conditions.
An institution of this kind deserves
support and hearty cooperation from
eli sources and with proper working
clans there is no reason why 1t VIII
rot fill good mission.

4 sUCcEssFUL CoRa SNOW.

sFiiI5be seen In the culnn1nss
of the bsmocTat, the second annual
Corn and Potato show was success.
This event in itself is an endorsement
OF the work of Demonstrators Ernest
L. Perkins. While his expectations
we're not filed by reason of the wealth
er and the conditions of the roads.
there were a number of good exhibits.
which were highly complimented by
the visitors representing the govern
ments of State and Union.
The Democrat would take advantage
of this opportunity to again express
ite appreciation and thanks for the CO.
operation extended this paper and Mr..
Perkins by the business men of Hen
Jacksonville in their subscriptions for
prizes. They encouraged good work.
While the corn show attendance was
not large, there were present those
who are striving to improve their
farming methods and no doubt some
y valuable seed were ssown that will tell
results for the years to come. the
farmers should without hesitation put
a goodly portion of this information
into practice and do as others have
dcne-make two blades of grass grow
where one grew before.

THE CHRISTMAS SEASON.

In the opinion of every educated AMI
consecrated mind, no writer can ap-
propriately refer to, or comment upon'
Christmas day without going back to
that day of glad tidings nineteen hun
dred and fourteen years ago tomor-
row, when the wise men of the East, at
Rerold's bidding, went into Judea, and
seeking out the child. Christ, fell
down and worshipped him: and whe1
they had opened their treasures, pre-
scented unto him gifts-gold and frank
cense and myrrh. From the day.
those wise men established the prece-
dent for the custom of gift-mak1ng on
the advent of our Savior into the
world, each succeeding generation has
practiced the beautiful spirit of making
glad the hearts of youths and maid
ems, husbands, wives, mothers and
fsthers, kindred and friends. Chris
ton people the world over make of the
Christmas period season of fellow
ship and good cheer. 1t is, indeed, the
day of generous feeling, kindly impulse
and benevolent tendency; a day when
deeds of charity are bestowed.-often,
too, by those who know not to give at
any other time; a joyous day on the
morning of which came into this sin
smitten universe the greatest blessing
the mind of man could possibly con-
ceive; the day, above all others, that
the people of every cline throughout
Christendom should most fttingly OBJ
serve. Because on this glorious day
nineteen hundred and fourteen years
ago went forth the joyful proc1ama-
ton: Behold we bring you glad It'd
| ings of great joy
1t should be the purpose of every one
to make glad the hearts of those
around him. Let one and all strive to
carry pleasure into the homes of those
in distress, taking due notice of the
