MI. Wilcox said that Judge H. G
Ewart was anxious for Henderson
vile to get some Belgian farmers and
he was instructed by the club to ap-
point a committee to look into the
matter. He named the following COM
mittee: Judge H. G. Ewart, chair
man; T. w. Valentine, r. H. Station
and Congressman James J. Britt.
Since there was little business to
be transacted the club discussed
questions at random and in a spirit

that the people of this section refused
to furnish the column company ma
terial at three times the price they get
for it in cross ties.
How to Get C~O-OperatfOn.
The question Of lack of co-opera-
ton among the country and city peo-
pie was raised and Mr.. Hollowell said
that he thought the solution lay in ed
ucation of the farmers as to the value
of cooperation, which would be stim-
tlated by farm settlers. Mr.. Wilcox
said that some of the farmers were
opposed to progress in the way of bet
ter schools, better farming, better
roads, etc. DR.. Few said that CO.
operation was needed but he didn't
know how to start it. DR.. Crawford
said that he knew of an order for
S25, 1000 worth of lumber being ship
ped way that should be utilized at
home. Mr.. Clarke again mentioned
lack of cooperation, citing the local
creamery, which was paying well for
cream but after it began to collect
the product from the farmers thew
refused to even so much as place il
at the front gate. DR.. Few told of the
spirit of cooperation in Catawb4
county, where the farmers had form
ed four cooperative associations, and
of what had been done along this line
in Tennessee. F, S. Wetmur said that
many of the farmers didn't want to
learn better and more profitable meth
DDS as was shown by their attitude
with reference to farm demonstration
work and that he thought the city peo-
pie should mingle with them more.
Mr.. Wilcox said that some of the
formers were under the impression
that the city people were trying to
"bleed them" Mr.. Hollowell said that
he thought that cooperation and a
better spirit of fellowship could DO
fostered if the city people would go
on record as manifesting an interest
in them and accept every invitation
extended them to address the farmers
at various entertainments in the coun-
try.
Mr.. Patton said that there was an
other side to the problem, and that
the farmers were somewhat justified
in the belief that they were not al
ways getting a square deal for tho
reason that they lack 10 or Is cents
getting the market value for corr and
also do not get market value for meat.
He was told that cooperative mar
keting among the farmers would
solve this problem.
"HeIp HendersOnVile Grow"
Mr.. Wilcox said that Henderson
vile needed a slogan and be believed
that Help Hendersonville Grow"
would be a good one. The slogan
conveyed the idea Of cooperation.
This slogan was adopted. DR. Gran
ford said that he thought it would help
II the business men would use it on
their stationery. G. F. Darlington
announced that he would figure
close" on such printing.
Endorses Sanitary Movement.
s.. Maxwell, who entered the build
ing after DR.. Crawford had made his
report on sanitation said that the
club should adopt a plan for cleaning

ore satisfactory to use a street
fusher and not have to sprinkle,
swep and haul off the refuse as a.
pl esent in order to keep the streets
clean.
The Movement for Industries.
President R. N. Wilcox remarked
on the agitation given the movement
for industries in the city by the Dem
ocrat last week and thought that a
committee should be appointed to
look into the matter. By a vote of
the club the president appointed u
committee as follows: Noah NJ. Hol-
lowell, chairman; r. G. Clarke, T. L..
Durham, r. M. Oates, F. S. Wetmur,
r. P. Freeze, John T. Wilkins.
Mr.. Oates reported that he had
learned that an ice cream plant would
be established in Hendersonville anu
Mr.. Hollowell reported that inVestiga-
tons were being made with reference
to locating a roller mill in this sec
ton. DR.. Crawford said that G. w
Johnston of Charlotte recently was
seeking a location for a factory. R.
NJ. Oates agreed to take the matter up
with Mr.. Johnston. DR.. c.. Few said
that while conditions may not be de-
siarble for big industries, he thought
they would be for small ones. r. c.
Clarke said that the people would not
support local industries, recalling the.
experience of the H~endersonville Col.
umn company. He said that the peo-
pie who furnish the raw material Ia
bored under a misapprehension about
Industries and without considering
the expense of converting raw mate
rial in to the finished product thought
that industries got rich too quick and
would not encourage them. He said

and identifying the city before sum-
mer and he thought a clean up cam
paign would be helpful. Mr.. Oates
said that probably it would help the
cause if the club would express it's
appreciation and desire to cooperate
with the city in the cleanup move
ment. whereupon a vote of %apprecia-
ton and assurance of cooperation
was extended the city authorities.
A Floral Exhibition.
F. S. Wetmur said that he thought a
floral exhibition would be a good thing
for Hendersonville. X. G. NORRIS said
that the First Bank was giving prizes
for pigs, bulls, etc., and would try All
experiment on giving a prize for a
floral exhibit. Mr.. Patton suggested
that since the Democrat was agitating
different movements for the good of
che city probably it would start a
movement for a flower show. The
paper was requested to call for sug-
gestions for the ladies of Henderson
vile and community and that if they
manifested sufficient interest through
the paper to justify a floral show it,
would be undertaken with attractive
prizes. The Democrats columns arc
open for the discussion of a floral ex-
hi0ition and the ladies are invited to
use it if they are for such an enter
prise. The following committee were
appointed to see about the show:

many homes. And IL is outcast from
our public schools" Here Mr.. Keesey
spoke Of the discussion of the ques-
ton concerning the reading Of the
Bible In the schools. and traced Its
progress, leading up to the refusal OF
the state high school board to grant
the local school the $4,000 state aid.
II may be said that Minnesota Is
one OF only eight states which ex-
, clude the Bible, but II has never been
decided by the courts Of Minnesota.
"But what are the objections to the
Bible being read in the public schools.
One Is that II Is sectarian book.
This can be answered by the fact
that the book OF the Christian can
not possibly be a sectarian Book In
q Christian land. In so far as all
sects are founded upon Il. II Is not a
sectarian book. If you will read the
editorial I'm The Free Press of Satur-
day evening. September II. you will
get clear, unprejudiced statement
of the facts In the case: and I wish
here to commend the editor for his
fair and fearless putting OF the case.
Another objection is that parts Of the
Bible are not fit to read in public.
| This Is also true of some of the clas-
sizes. But the teacher. who has not
| the good judgment to omit these
parts should not be re-engaged."
Mr. Keesey here referred to opin-
ions published In The Sunday Visitor.
from President Wilson. Vice Presi-
dent Marshall. ex-Fresident Roose-
| NJ NEiIIiav, 4
Bryan, and Archbishop Ireland, in
which they condemn a system of edu-
cation which omits the moral and re-
ligious training.
The speaker inquired: What shall
the Mankato high school board do?
would answer: Try il out to a finish
in the courts. and IL we are beaten
| let the state keep its money. and let
us ray our own school bill, and avoid
dictation. II seems to me. that to be
! consistent, IL the Bible Is ruled out
so should everything else having any
semblance to REORGANIZATION OF
any kind-Browning Tennyson, Ho-
mer. Cicero, Virgil. etc"
Mr.. Keesey closed with the sug-
gestion that il seems absurd to try
To teach morals, while we exclude our
one and only book of morals" He
also made il plain that he was not
contending that the Bible should be
taught in the schools, but that II
should be read without comment. lie
predicted that the question of read
ing the Bible in the schools will be-
come an issue in some future legis

In the meantime" said the speaker
"let us read the Bible at home to oui
children"

Rev. w. R. Keesey Discussed
Question In Pulpit
from Mondays Daily.

Rev. Wilbur r. Keesey last evening
delivered a sermon in the Centenary
Methodist church on THE Reading OF
the Bible in the Public Schools" He
said in part:
Some time ago | observed mot
to on the wall OF country school
house: The Bible, the greatest
Book in the world To teach II, the
noblest service. To live II, conquering
power This motto furnishes the
outline of my talk this evening. First,
then, the Bible is the greatest Book
i'm the world. Do we really believe
IL? But If we believe 1t, in what sense
is 1t true? We may say 1t is the
greatest in its origin. having been
written by about forty people. who
lived about 1000 years apart. from
the first to the last. We may say II
is the greatest in its preservation, or
because of the unity running through
the whole Book. II is the greatest
history, literature. etc. But there are
three facts that make II the greatest
Book. First, IL is the most germinal
Book. Luther discovered and taught
the doctrine OF justification by faith,
instead of by penance. But II was
always in the Bible. Wesley dis
covered and taught the doctrine OF
the witness of the spirit. But it was
always I'm the Bible. Lincoln liner
ated the slaves. after many had con-
tended for slavery on Bible grounds.
But no one today denies thrt tho
Bible exhorts the utmost l'Eerty. The
spirit OF democracy has taken pos
session of the world Bat the Rble
has furnished the inspiration. This
is what I mean by the Bible being
the most germinal Book. No other
Book contains so many fundamental
principles for life.
Frame For Christ Picture.
Again. the Bible is the beautiful
frame for the picture OF the Christ.
Every Old Testament Book points to-
ward His coming. Every New Testa-
ment Book points back to His life and
, teachings. Indeed without the
Christ, there would be no Bible.
Again, the Bible is the most popular
Book. More are printed, and more
are sold than OF any other book. 1t
is not only one OF the six best sell
ers' but 1t is the best seller.
Then to teach this Book is the
noblest service. for such teaching
shapes character And to live the
teachings of this Book. is a conquer
ing rover. The Bible is not a Book
to be kept In the house as an orna-
ment, or carried about as fetch to
ward off danger, nor is II Book
simply to be reyered. This Book
must be lived: and when lived, II be-
comes conquering power. Queen
Victoria, once asked for the secret
of England's greatness, picked up a
Bible. and said: This Is the secret
And this is equally true Of the United
States of America.
Has Becomes an outcast.
But notwithstanding all these
facts. the Bible has become, in all too
many instances. an outcast book. IL
is outcast largely from business.
Rauschenbusch says that business is
the least Christlanized OF all the de-
partments of life. Il is outcast large
ly from politics. II Is outcast from
society. II Is outcast from all too
