Incense or permit from the board of

I license or permit from the board OF
aldermen to conduct its business.
j The organization Of the club Is not
based on the whims, likes or dislikes
of the board of aldermen, but on the
will of the sovereign State of North
Carolina. which upon the proper appli-
cation viii issue charter to its MEM
hers, and which mandate will have to
be respected even by such high and
mighty authority as the board of alder
men of the town Of Hendersonville,
M C.
The apparent assumption of the
board that the proposed club is to con-
duct an illegal business SIS as often
sive, as it is impairment
The personnel of the present mem
bership of the club is fully equal to.
that of the present board of alder
men or any social or fraternal society
of this town, and each and every one
of them would be utterly opposed to
the violation of any law of the State Of
North Carolina.
There are possibly over one hundred
social clubs chartered by the State of
North Carolina, which are now and
have been for many years operated and
conducted precisely as the Bohemian
club will be operated when organized,
that is, strictly within the law.
Among these may mention the
Asheville club with it's membership of
400 of it's best and most prominent
business and professional men; the
Merchants and Manufacturers club of
Charlotte, its most important factor in
the material and social development of
the greatest city in North Carolina,
the Capitol City club of Raleigh with
it's splendid membership and State
wide reputation.
Indeed there is scarcely any City or
town in the State of any note, which
has not a social club conducted on ex1
actly the same lines as the Bohemian
club will be conducted when organized.
When chartered by the State of
North Carolina and conducted as it
will be strictly within the law, your
board of aldermen would be as power
less to close its doors as grass hopper
could stem the torrents of Niagara!
And any effort on their part to do so
would at once place them in the atti-.
tude of lawbreakers!
Besides they would be the laughing |
stock of the State!
They might as well enact an ordi-
nance forbidding the girls of Hen
Jacksonville from dancing the tango, |
slit skirts, or open-work
green hose!
One would be as sensible as the |
other. Perhaps the available data"
to in your communication
has been entirely incorrect, and the
board has been misled thereby.
1t would have given me great pleas
ure to have informed them fully of the
purposes and management of the
club.
In conclusion beg to say that you
may advise them that the organization
of the Club depends entirely, as it has
from it's inception, upon securing a
certain membership to the same,
charter from the State of North Car
DINA, and NOT upon the edict of such
an inconsequential body as the alder
men of the town of Hendersonville.

WITH WILD TEAM
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Langevin
in Accident Which Had Dis
asterOus Results.
BUGGY BADLY BROKED
MIR. Langevin Seriously Hurt but
Mrs. Langevin is Uninjured
--Husband's Ribs Fractured

On Saturday afternoon, Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Langevin, met with a
serious accident about five miles
South of the Cape which but for
the heroic efforts of Mr.. Langcvin,
might have ended with more disas-
trous results. Mr.. Langcvin is an
expert in dredging machinery and
had taken his wife to the scene of
the construction of the immense
dredging apparatus which is located
near where the accident occurred.
The team seemed to be rather wild,
and became suddenly frightened as
they approached an extremely bad
place in the road. They gave a viO-
lent lurch to one side and Mr..
Langevin was thrown out of the
conveyance, but maintained his hold
on the lines while they struggled to
make their escape. The buggy was
badly wrecked, one wheel being
torn off and the tongue broken, The
team was finally subdued, Mr..
Langevin sustained a painful wrench
of the side and complains of severe
pains in his ribs. He is unable to
attend to his labors and is under the
care of a physician. Mrs. Lange'
vim was unharmed.

Returned to Grandmother.

Gusta Harmon, a little girl about
fourteen years of age, who has been
living with her grandmother at Allen
vile, came to the Cape last Thurs
day and later entered the employ
of the shoe factory. 1t is claimed
that when she left Allenville it was
the understanding that she was going
to visit her sister in Jackson, and
that when her grandmother learned
| of her whereabouts and surround
ings, she became alarmed and eX-
pressed suspicious that the little
girl had been lured from her home by
young woman named Irene Stroder
who has been living in the Cape for
sometime. Miss Stroder denies that
she influenced the child in any way,
and claims that the little girl was
in desperate circumstances on her
arrival, and that she personally
made privision for her and assisted
her in securing position, and through
a friend had her taken to the home of
Mr.. Klasing where she was cred
for and treated as a member of the
family. On learning of the dissatis-
faction, Miss Stroder sought Gusta
and advised her to return to her
grandmother and secure her consent
before coming back to the Cape,
and in accorance with the advice
the little girl left in an automobile
for jackson Friday morning and from
there will take the train for her old
home where she will endeavor tc
reconcile her grandmother to per.
mitting her to come to the Cape anC
work in the factory.

CAN SOCIETY
ORGANIZED
Convincing Speech of Organ
izer Creates Great En-
thusiasm in Meeting.
Big CMEMBERSHIP ENROLLED
Society Promises to Make Rapid
Growth Meeting Attended
by Large Crowd.

On Tuesday night there was an
enthusiastic meeting held at the
court house in this city for the pur-
pose of forming local society of
the German-Amcrican Alliance.
Hon. Henry A. Kersting, cX-assist-
ant city attorney Of st. Louis acted
as organizer, and delivered n most
forccful and convincing speech i'll
his explanation of the aims and de-
sires of the organization. The meet
ing was well attended, there being
some two hundred people present,
and all seemed to Toe deeply and
favorably impressed with the remarks
offered by Mr.. Kcrsting in the de-
livery of his speech On Monday
night previous the necessary Gormali-
ties for organization were INDUCED
in, and some 35 members were en-
rolled On Tuesday night after the
speech was finished, 3S more mem
bcrs were received, bringing the total
membership up to 70, Charles Blatt-
ner was elected president of the local
organization, and Louis Wittmorc
was elected secretary. The outlook
for the movement, yet in its infancy
is most fiattering, and there is every
reason to believe that with the noble
purposes expressed and the interest
manifested by the business men OF
the city, that it will grow by leaps
and bounds, and that within a short
period the membership will have as
sumed pleasing proportions.
The speaker was introduced by
Judge H. f, Alexander, who made a
few preliminary remarks fitting the
occasion. Judge Alexander declined
the presidency of the society for the
reason that his frequent enforced
business absences from the city would
render him unable to meet the re-
quirements necessary for the proper
fulfllment of such duties.
Mr.. Kersting made most able
and instructive speech, and his au-
dience was most favorably impressed,
He will return to his home in st.
Louis sometime Wednesday.
The time and place of future meet
ing were not agreed on, but all ar
rangements in that respect will be
definitely arranged within the next
few days.

and appearances in the early part
of the evening would indicate promises
of pleasant outing, but when the
storm came up at about ten o'cock
the young people were forced to
seek shelter in the cabin much to
their inconvenience and chagrin.
On account of there being so many

There was meeting Of the City
Council held at the Court House
Monday night where matters of vary
ing degrees Of Importance were taken
up. Some of the more important
ones we're slighted, and others Of
an immaterial nature were dwelled
on at great length. The proposals
for the improment Of Themis and
Ellis streets were referred to the
Judiciary committee with instruc-
tions that proper steps be taken in
the matter, and the matter of broad
ening Harmony Alley to 40 feet from
West End Boulevard was referred
to the Street and Wharf committee.
The petition that Water mains be
laid on Bloomfield from Pacific street
to West End Boulevard was granted,
and the proposal to improve Bloom
field street was referred o the Street
and Wharf Committee. The proposal
to improve Merriwether street from
Aquamsi to Sprigg was received and
filed.
The usual appropriation was al
lowed the Ladies Cemetery Improve
ment Association upon the petition
of Mrs. Amelia Bader and Mrs

In the matter of requiring the
Kettle River Co., to repair defective
work on the streets, it WAS agreed
to postpone further action until
next meeting when the president
of the Company would appear ir
person and make arrangements fol
the necessary work.
The most important matter coming

Better Times Coming.

With very favorable weather for
fall breaking, sowing cover crops
and small grain crops, and making
preliminary preparations for diver
sifed planting and intensive cultiva-
ton, it is not surprising that splen-
dio progress has already been made.
The people of the Southwest may
be depended upon to meet condi-
tions as are made necessary by the
European war. Our people cheer
fully have borne the loss sustained
by injured markets and close fnan-
cial matters made possible because
of European conflict in arms.
But it seems from reports that
the end of gloom and disappoint-
ment is nearly in sight. The large
sum of money promised as loans to
assist in holding cotton has increas-
ed confidence. The regional reserve
banks are to be established soon.
The opinion prevails that the cot
