JUDGE PRITCHARD SPOKE
TO CROWDED AUDITORIUM

The whirlwind finish of the War
Savings stamp drive in this county
was featured by an address by Judge
J. C.. Pritchard, of Asheville, at the
opera house on Friday night. Prelimi-
nary to the address a military band
from Camp WadswOrth, Spartanburg
gave an hours concert. At 8 o'clock
the speaker of the evening, Judge
Pritchard, was introduced by w. A.
Smith. In a forceful manner the
speaker presented the reasons why
America entered the war and explain
ed the part that each citizen should
play in the great struggle for world
democracy.
Brownlow jackson, chairman Of the
drive for the sale of War Savings
stamps in Henderson county, spoke of
the very encouraging response to the
appeals of the committee to the people
throughout the county The 100 per
cent American idea seems to have taken
hold of the people and from reports
received there was little doubt but
that Henderson county would go over
the top in the sale of War Savings
stamps as she has done in all other
matters of a patriotic nature.
AL Iu0 CO4C1uSIOu O1 MI. JdChSOu >
address he introduced Sam T. Hodges,
who solicited subscriptions. The re-
sponse to the appeal of Mr.. Hodges
was most gratifying.
The campaign, which was inaugu-
rated at the beginning of last week,
was a grand success. About every
man, woman and child was called
upon to do his or her part and the re-
sponse of the people of every section
of the county was most heroic. Too
much cannot be said in praise of the
untiring work of the committee and
the liberal response of the people to
the call Of America.
The Tuxedo quartet rendered music
at the conclusion of the Friday even
ing meeting. The chairman then ask
ed for volunteers to transport the band
in autos to Chimney Rock for a days
outing Saturday. The response to the
call resulted in an offer Of several
cars.
The closing of this campaign is just
another evidence of the fact that
America intends to win the war and
that Henderson county will not, in any
sense, shirk, but will at all times and
in every way respond to the call of
the country and do her bit with all her
might.

EXCURSIONS TO SUMNER
RESORTS TO BE OPERATED.
Reduced Fares for These Trips to be
Given: New Trains to be Put On.

Reduced fares for excursion trips TO
summer resorts will be put into enect
soon by the railroad association. Pas
senger traffic committees are now
working on several thousand local
rates to seashOres and inland resorts,
and many of these will be recommend
ed to Director General McAdoO within
a week. Although low excursion rates
existing before June 10, when the 3-
cent a mile passenger rate went INTO
effect will not be restored, the spe-
cial rates will range from 10 to 2O per
cent lower than the straight fare
A number of other apparent lnJus-
tices effected by increasing passenger
rates fatty to cents a mile, parucu-
larly in short hauls, are under conslo-
Grafton by passenger traffic commit
tees.
There have been several new trains
put on the Southern and this will be a
very great aid in handling the sum-
mer traffic. Two of the new trains
will pass through HendersOnville. NO.

IN the evening and will reach AsheVille
at z O'Clock next morning.

burg at 11:25 the same evening for
a Iay-over, leave Spartanburg next
morning at 7:3O, reaching Columbia at

and Wilmington-Ashevil sleepers
will probably be handled on these
trains as they were last year.
These announcements of summer
service for this region will be received
here with much satisfaction.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
AT EBENEZER A SUCCESS
Many Prominent Men We're On Hand
and Fine Speeches Were Delivered.

The annual convention of the Hen
derson county Sunday school conven-
ton which was held last Sunday with
the Ebenezer Baptist church, two
miles east of Hendersonville, was quite
a success.
The Sunday morning meeting open
ed at 9:45 with President c. S. Full
bright presiding. When the meeting
began there was a very small attend
ance but few minutes later there
was not sufficient room for the crowd.
Dinner was served on the grounds at
midday and there was plenty for all.
The program was carried out practi-
cally as it is given below. This was a
good program and was thought to be
inspiring and helpful because of the
excellent addresses that were deliv-
cred.
Plans are on foot for the furtherance
of the work in the county and in order
to carry. on this work pledges were
made by several townships. There was
an unusual number of townships rep
resented at the convention.

Red Cross Mother to Orphans

Among the varied activities of the Tmerican Red Cross, being mother to the French war orphans adopted by me men of American Expeditionary Forces is a somewhat unusual one. When a company or regiment decides to adopt one or more orphans the men send their collected funds to their of- ficial newspaper, "The Stars and Stripes," which in turn places it with the Red Cross. "The Greatest Mother in the World" then selects and takes charge of the children.
 Girls are most frequently asked for, but if no choice is made the Red Cross generally favors the adoption of boys. The many requests for red-headed kid dies which cannot be filled-has brought to public attention the rather novel fact that there are no red-head- ed children in France. However, right at present there is no more popular color in France than red-when it as- sumes the shape of the revered cross.
 
 The American Red Cross is assist ing Parss organization known as the Union des Families to promote garden ing among delicate children. The kid dies are allowed to plant small vege- table gardens on the Qualifications of the city and the Red Cross permits the use of barracks for a shelter and rest room.

LIVE STOCK MEN
 MET IN KINGMAN
 MONDAY EVENING

A large number of stockmen of the county and those interested in farm ing pursuits met at the courthouse Monday evening to hear Prof. Mus graves, of the United States Biological Survey and D. A. Gilchrist, talk on predatory animals of the range and how to rid the country of those ami mals. Also how to treat the many ailments of range animals and the prevention of infectious diseases.
 The persons present were very much interested in the talks and it is probable the visit of these gentlemen will do much good. During the day l. M. George drove the visitors over a few of the nearby ranges to familiar ize them with local conditions. It is the purpose of the survey to deliver course of lectures to the cattle growers and farmers once or twice a year and also to look over the impor- tant ranges to see that destructive diseases are not spread to other ranges.

Thousand Nurses
 Per Week Wanted

An army of a million men needs 16.0OO nurses, according to General Ireland, U. S. A., who has cablegram- med the National Red Cross depart ment of nursing in regard to condi- tions brought about by the present of fensive.
 There is shortage of nurses in France according to this estimate as we now have more than million men there and less than 5000 nurses less than half the number required In times of actual warfare.
 One thousand nurses per week for a period of eight weeks is the enroll ment asked of the American Red Cross by the Surgeon Generals office to meet this shortage and replace those being withdrawn from canton ments for service in Europe.
 Miss Lillian L. White, director of the Pacific division of the bureau of nursing, is conducting campaign to meet the quota of this state. In for mer drives for enrolment only regis tered graduates were accepted, but in this emergency graduates who have not registered are qualified and the ruling prohibiting foreign service by those with brothers in the army or navy has also been cancelled.
 Over 2600 nurses were enrolled by the Red Cross in July and the papers of 115O nurses for service in military hospitals were sent to the surgeon generals office. Approximately 300 nurses fc1 foreign service per week have been equipped through the equipment center in New York, but to meet this new emergency call it will be necessary to double enrollments and increase assignments to duty.

"Them as Has,

A nurse who recently enrolled with the Red Cross for overseas duty says she came to the realization of her duty through reading an interview with a mountaineer who enlisted during first war days, although past the age limit. "When it's all over," he is quoted as saying, "tharll be only two kinds them as has and them as hasn't" She says this put her to thinking, and she decided she wanted to be one of Athem as has" done her part in the world struggle for freedom.
