CITY WILL ISSUE 10000
ADVERTISING BOOKLETS SOON.
i. w. EWbank VIII take Booklets If
Necessary; New Club Members
Needed for the Wark.

III Greater He~ndersonyille club
Friday night decided to order at least
10000 advertising booklets from an
Asheville printery and if possible in
crease the number of 10000.
w. G. Stradley reported that the city
commissioners had agreed to give
$3.50 for this work provided sufficient
funds could be raised to print 10, 900
or $500 for 2 10000 booklets.
The membership committee reported
that it would take many more new
members to guarantee the publication
! of the booklets and the club was dis
Cussing how the money might be rails
ed and how other members might be
induced to join the club when E. w.
Ewbank stated that if the club could
not pay for the booklets he would take
them at cost and distribute them as
his firms advertising matter. The
meeting was interrupted with applause
over the solution of the problem which
had been embarrassing the club for
some time.
1t was decided to. continue the mem
bership committee and if possible Sc
cur sufficient members to guarantee
the booklets so that Mr.. Ewbank
would not be required to take them
by eason of the clubs failure to be
able pay for literature.
On motion of Judge Ewart a vote of
thanks was rendered the city commits
sioners for the liberal contribution Of
the board.
DR.. J.. Frank Crawford and DIR. w.
R. Kirk were before the meeting con
corning the proposed vital statistics
measure whereby resort, cities would
not have to bear the burden of the
death rate of n~on-residents who visit
such resorts as the last means of Sc
curing health, but who die and thereby
increase the death rate. The propos-
cd measure would charge each city Or
community with only it's resident
deaths.
The local physicians met Thursday
night and acted upon the matter and
got into communication with DR.. w. S.
Rankin, secretary of the State Board
of Health, but learned that it was too
late to take the matter up with the
General Assembly and that it had
been taken up with the federal author
tiles.
The club will meet again Friday
night in the library building for the
discussion of pending business mat
ters.

WILSON HAS GOOD WORD TO
SAY FOR THE MOUNTAINEERS.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Praise for
the Simple, straightforward" people
of the Southern mountains, and crit
cism of the "airs that high society,
gives itself" were voiced by President
| Wilson here at d meeting held in the
interest of Berea college, KY. founded
to educate the mountaineers. Th2
president declared the college was
going straight to the heart of of
the most interesting problems Of
American life'' and added that "the
| only thing that is worth while in hui
man intercourse is to wake somebody
up"
Justice Hughes of the supreme court
presided at the meeting and other
speakers were President Frost of Be.
rea college, F. G. Bonser of Columbia
university and Hamilton w. Mabie Of
| The Outlook Magazine. They all said
! that there were three million people
in the mountains of the South VIII"
needed only education to make them
of immense benefit to the nation.
Speaking of the college, the presi-
lent declared it's object was to dc
what America was intended to do, to
give to people who had not had it an
opportunity and give it to them OH
absolutely equal terms, on a basis not
of birth, but of merit"
What America has vindicated
above all things else," said the pres.
ident, els that native ability has moth
ing to do with social origin. 1t is
amusing sometimes to see the airs
that high society gives itself. The
world could dispense with high So
ciety and never miss it. High society
is for those who nave stopped work
ing and no longer have anything i'm
portant to do.
"Those who can open up the great
origins of power are those who feed
the nation; and when n thinks OF
that old stock in storage there in the
mountains for more than a hundred
years, until tapped, some n of the
original stuff of the nation, waiting tc
be used, one ought to bid godspeed to
the men who are going there and
using this old capital that has no
even been put out at interest, that
has been, as it were, kept in a Chin
ney piece until we shall go to it and
use it and find that the usury from it
was that same usury of freedom and
power and of capacity which has been
so characteristic of America from the
first.
ST do not see how anybody car
think of Berea college and the worB
has to do without catching fire"

s-HIP-PURcHAsE BILL.

Washington, j. -Senate demo,
Gratis in caucus late today reached
final agreement on the ship purchase
bill and adopted a resolution making
il a party measure. Three democrats
voted against it but later it was made
unanimous.
No material amendments. to the bill
as perfected in previous causes were
adopted. The principal difference of
opinion arose on Senator Hoke Smiths
to provide that the govern.
ment, after restoration of normal
world conditions should lease pur-
chased ships to privaso concerns in
stead of operating them through a gov
ernment-controlled corporation. The
was defeated after pro-
Ionged debate.

J. M. GUDGER AMONG THE LAME
DUCKS LOOKING A GOOD JOB
Washington Dispatch to Greensboro
NeWS.)

Representative James M. Gudger
jr., who retires as a Representative in
Congress from the tenth district
March 4, having been defeated by j.
Britt, republican, is hunting for an
other job with a fairly good salary at
tached. Mr. Gudger has not decided
just what Job he wants because q
the present writing he does not know
what he can get. Indeed ne is npt
certain that he a get any place, but
he is looking the job list over with
much care.
With something like 100 Democrats
having been told to stay at home by a
once enthusiastic constituency, and III
nearly each case the said 100 are
hunting jobs along with Mr.. Gudger,
the chances are not very bright for
the latter to land a job that would
support of former Congressman in
keeping with the dignity of the job
he once held.

Why NEWSPAPER CHARGES FOR
PRINTING OBITUARY NOTICES.

For more than a year the Democrat
has been explaining its reasons hfor
charging for obituary notices long af-
ter a death which has been covered
by a news notice.
The following from the Albemarle
Observer cover the situation fairly
well:
Please let everybody read and un-
derstand this clearly. We feel COM
PEELED to make a new ruling with re-
spect to obituaries. Heretofore we
have been publishing obituaries free
of charge. Hereafter we are going to
charge for them on certain conditions.
We dislike to make changes in the
wording of obituaries for the reason
that they are often written by some
loved one of the deceased and the
writer feels he Or she is paying the
greatest possible tribute to the de-
parted, and, to refuse to publish it as
written or to change the wording TO
suit the editor of this paper, will be
only to offend the writer. Hence we
have decided to make this proposition.
to all:
What Will be Free.
We will publish free~of charge, the
name and age of the person dead, the
place and time he or she died, the
cause of death. the names of as many
relatives as you car to give, the place
of burial; the names of the pall-bear-
ers and the name of the person con-
Quoting the funeral service.
What Must be Paid For.
If anything else is desired to be pub
lished we will use it merely as adver-
Using and will charge 10 cents an
inch and it must be paid for in adj
vance on our estimate as to what it
will cost. Write it up just as you
wish it to appear, send it to us and
we will write you the cost so you will
know how much money to send before
it is published. If you wish you may
send S1.00 with the obituary and if it
does not cost that much we will return
the difference.
To Our Correspondents:
Let our regular correspondents give
us only the information asked for I'M
der the head What Will be Free" II
they desire more given let it be paid
for.

institutions of the war whose inaugu-
ration nobody noticed in the first ex-
element, but which since then have
forced the attention of the public by
virtue of being helpful The war
prayer hour" is at nine every evening
and is held in most of the churches of
Berlin.
The people who attend the "hour"
make most interesting crowd, which
could not be better described than was
done by one of the feuilletonists of the
Vossische zeitung:
over the maze of streets hangs a
heavy and wet evening, in whose mists
the street lamps look like so many dy-
ing suns surrounded by sheafs of red
rays. Under them moves a busy
crowd and busting traffic--not quite
so large as at other times. The stream
of humanity on the sidewalk seems in
defatigible - inexhaustible. 1t is
made up of business people following
their daily habits, of soldiers who car
ry arms in white and black sings, Of
fcers in smart city uniforms, and wo-
men.
"Over it all breaks of a sudden the
deep, metallic voice of the church
bells, calling upon man to look from
the things on Earth to those Above. 1t
is nine-the hour of the war prayer.
Through the main portal of the
church the crowd begins to enter
large families mostly and now and
then venerable couple. But through
the small side doors enter hundreds of
women--the timid, the lonely.

Here and there were flashes of light
