HENDERSONVILLE is GREATLY
INTERESTED In STATISTICS.

DR.. w. r.. Kirk and DIR. L. B. Morse
who last week returned from Charles
ton, s. c., where they read papers be-
fore the Tri-State Medical society
brings news of movement of vital
interest to Hendersonville.
The proposition has to do with vi
tai statistics. DR.. Carl v. Reynolds,
public health physician fof Asheville,
read most interesting paper on the
Injustice done the resort cities. espec
tally of the mountains, by the vital
statistics in crediting these places
with deaths of persons who visited
them in a critical condition in the hope
of recovering strength.
An effort is being made to enact a
law that will give every section credit
for the death of its citizens, regard
less of place of death.
Should such a law be enacted il
would place Hendersonville in far bet-
ter light SO far as health statistics are
concerned.

APPOINT EDUCATIONAL BOARDS

Raleigh, N. c., Feb. 22.-The demo-
cratic members of the legislature were
in caucus tonight from s to 1:30
O'Clock, thrashing out the question of
the democratic policy of this legisla-
ture in the matter of the appointment
or election of the members of the
county boards of education. At the
finish afreso1ution by Mr.. Mintz was
adopted declaring it to be the future
democratic policy to appoint the coun-
ty boards through the members of the
legislature from the several counties
as at present, this being understood to
have no effect on those six counties
which have for years past elected their
boards by authority of special acts.

TRIBUTE no MRS. HAWKINS.

Mrs. c. ]. Hawkins, who recently
died at her home in this city. being the
oldest resident of the place at the
time, was admired for her many Iowa
BILE and noble traits of character. The
following extract from letter from
one who had boarded at her home
shows his high estimation of Mrs.
Hawkins:
Indeed a life like hers was yalua-
bic asset to any community and she
will ever be remembered for her unself-
ishness, her purity and her Christian
character, such ties are inspirations
to the whole people of any community.
She has left priceless heritage and
everlasting monument of love, devo-
ton and charity, which neither time
nor weather can ever erase.
"Her kind words Of encouragement.
her advise to live for higher purposes.
and her friendship which I had the
great honor of forming, will ever
cherished by me, as one of the best as
sets of my life, and whenever l shall
think of that which is best, purest,
sweetest and nohlest, will think Of
dear old Grandmother Hawkins"

a H. CLUB STILL WRESTLING
WITH ADVERTISING QUESTION,

The board of governors of the Great
er Hendersonville club met Tuesday
afternoon, settled some obligations
and discussed the advertising proposi-
ton again, but reached NO conclusions
since the membership committee had
nothing of an encouraging nature to
report.
DIR. w. R. Kirk and DR.. ]. Frank
Crawford were named as q committed
to take necessary steps looking to the
proposition to amend the vital statis-
ktics law so as to give communities
credit for deaths occurring in other
sections, this action being taken at
ter letter had ben read from w. A.
Smith on the subject.
Further action on publishing an ad-
vertising booklet for the city was de-
ferTed until after the meeting Friday
night.

,HaRTER AMENDED so AS TO
PROVIDE FULL ELECTION.
First Consulted RadI4
Gals and Decided to Retain Three
Members for City's Benefit.

The proposed amendments to tho
oitv charter had some rough shedding
and would not have been enacted with
ont q ramrodding process owing to a
little political upheaval in the republl-
can ranks.
RpfOre the Charter Was Amended.
BEFORE the amendments were franz
Cd some of the republicans were con-
shifted and made no objection to the
nlan to hold over three commissioners
Nat the coming election so that the new
1board after May would not be without
oynerienced men. This went through
sn right and Representative Valentine
introduced the bill in the House and
II went through to the Senate, about
which time it struck a snag presuma-
bIy by Mr.. Valentine.
He heard from the erstwhile sat-
isfed bosses from back home and they
told him, it is understood, that the
radicals didn't want to be robbed OF
the privilege of electing or trying to
elect a full board, mayor included.
The radicals went up on their hind
legs and paved the elements over this
plan. Democratic lobbyists from back
home had decided to ramrod" the
Amendment through over Representa-
tive Valentines protest, for republl-
can member has little influence in
kthat body. The city commissioners
heard that the republicans were puffed
mp over the matter.
Not a member of the board desired
reelection, for the job is not an at
tractive one for a conscientious man.
they didn't want to appear as desiring
to rob the people Of a choice Of their
men but only provided for holding over
three commissioners for the benefit OF
the new board and the city since ex-
perience is always necessary to Aes:
results.
The board decided that it did not
want to do anything that would be
called unfair or that would smack o:
taking advantage of the republican
party, which is now in the minority
so those interested in the matter at
Raleigh were notified Tuesday, night
by telephone and now the republicans
will have to look to other sources for
thunder.

ADVERTISING APPROPRIATION
is MADE By CITY FATHERS.

C. E. Brooks w. C. Stradley, p. r..
Patton. Rev r. N Wilcox and r. A,
EWbank appeared before a called
meeting of the city commissioners
Tuesday night and prevailed on the
board to make an appropriation for
publishing an advertising booklet for
the city.
sit was pointed out to the board that
the Greater Hendersonville club was
doing all it could toward paying the.
expenses of advertising literature, but
could not raise sufficient funds TO
make a descent showing.
TI1e membe Of the boar
ed themselves in favor ofethe booklet
and expressed their regrets over ina
bility to- help as much as they would
like, but seeing the importance oftha
matter, decided to give a note for
$3.50, provided sufficient funds are
raised to publish 10000 booklets, or
$500 if this amount can be supple
mented sufficiently to print 10000, the
booklets TO be ready for distribution
not later than April 10.
Commissioners Bailey, Durham and
Flicker we're named as committee to
see that these conditions are complied
with.
This appropriation means that con-
siderable work remains to be done In
the way of securing new members to
the Greater Hendersonville club In
order to justify the expenditure, for at
present the club is not in financial
shape to pay for the booklets An
Asheville firm has offered to publish
10000 for $428, but other expenses,
such as envelopes, stamps and adj
dressing will have to be taken into
consideration.
