Surely a Coincidence,

Robert Dawes of Jeffersonyille, who
Is one of the officials of the American
Tobacco company In Louisville, told of
a striking coincidence that happened
while he was In New York city last
week. He was ut hotel and went to
the telegraph office to send telegram
TO his wife. AS he reached the desk
no met young lieutenant from New
Albany who was writing the first words
OF telegram to Mr.. Dawes, whom the
officer supposed to be at Jacksonville,
asking him to send him the address of
his sister who lives In England. Not
only that, but the officer, as he looked
up and saw Mr.. Dawes, exclaimed to
another officer by his side, "And here
is the man | was just talking to you
about; allow me to Introduce you to
Mr.. Dawes."-Indlanapolls News.

Speakers Office Important.

The office of the speaker OF the
house of representatives Is of great
Importance on account Of the power
of the speaker In shaping and con-
trolling legislation, which Is now much
less than formerly. His influence on
national legislation was believed by
many even to exceed that exerted by
the president. 1t carries with 1t so
much political prestige and influence
that 1t is generally regarded as n
stepping stone to the presidency, but
up to the present time only ono
speaker has been elected president.

U. S. Committed Itself Three Years
Ago to the Building Of Worlds
Greatest Navy.

Washington, With story OF bril-.
liant achievements Of the American
navy In the war. Secretary Daniels
couples, in his annual report, an ur-
mt recommendation for continued
naval expansion to meet the demands
OF peace for national and international
work on the sea
Through nearly all Of IA printed
pages the secretary tells in brief
phrases of the nayy's part in the war
OF the doing OF the seemingly impos.
sible through teamwork. lie speaks
OF the mighty Accomplishment Of
transporting 100000 men to France
without the loss of an eastbound troop
ship through enemy action, and he
devotes a graphic chapter to the ma.
rine brigade, which as all the world
knows blocked the last Prussian ad-
vance on Paris, and started the Ger.
man retreat that ended with the war.

has suffered less in war than any OF
the allied powers, il will devolve upon
This country to make a contribution
TO the navy to preserve the peace of
the world commensurate with its
wealth, It's commerce, its growing and
expanding merchant marine, and its
leadership in the council Of free peo-
pie. 1t Is therefore, our duty now
not, indeed to enter upon any new
and ambitious naval program, but to
30 forward steadily upon the lines of
naval increase to which the country
committed itself by the adoption three
years ago OF the first far.reachng
constructive naval program in the his
tory of the republic.
Il have recommended to this Con-
gress the adoption of another three
year program substantially like the
one authorized in 1915
Mr.. Daniels shows that the new
100000 900, three-year building pro-
gram he has proposed will provide 1856
additional naval ships, 10 of them
dreadnaughts and six battlecruisers,
and the others to be in such distribu.
ton Of approved types as the depart
ment may deem best.

BAPTIST EDUCATIONAL s
8 DRIVE Is GOING WELL.
g(IBv s.,,,,Ia

By 1Dr. .: z. sBomar.
From all over the state comes en-
couraging news as to the progress of
the campaign for the Three Baptist
Colleges and fourteen high schools.
On account of the 'tFlu" it may be
necessary to extend the time a few
weeks, from Dec. 1 to Is, approx
mately. It was originally planned
to complete the canvass by the time
of the meeting of the State Conven-
ton in Greensboro, Dec. 2, but that
meeting has been postponed to date
not yet announced.
North Carolinians in New York
and Virginia have sent contributions
the pupils of Meredith and other
colleges have contributed thousands
of dollars. In spite of all hinderance
the work progresses.
In this county the progress is
notable. Green River church has
nearly one-haf of it's apportionment.
Mills River will meet. the apportion-
ment in full. East Hendersonville,
while not yet canvassed, has guaran-
tined its full apportionment of $1,000
The First Church has almost half of
its apportionment of $4,000 sub
scribed before any canvass, apart
from the work of the pastor and
Chairman J. F. Justice. It is con-
fdently believed that the whole
amount for Henderson County
$14, 600 will be subscribed in a few
weeks.

WAR SAVINGS PLEDGES DUE.

Don't get angry when you receive
three little post cards; each of which
is to remind you of your War Savings
pledge" says the bulletin from the
State War Savings Headquarters.
"These cards are not sent as open
duns,' but to inform the person to
whom addressed, first, that his pledge
card is an outstanding obligation to
the Government until it is redeemed
and, second, how he may regain his
card after having purchased his
stamps.
Read all three of the cards CAREFUL
ly," advises the bulletin, and you will
know exactly what to do. IfCyou have
bought the number of Stamps for
which you subscribed, take them to the
agency or post Office designated on the
card sent you by your county chair
man, and then get your pledge cards
marked or stamped Redeemed in full
Remember that your pledge card is an
out standing obligation to the Govern
ment until redeemed by you.
"The sending of three cards to each
individual has been found necessary,
first, to get the pledges redeemed /;
second, to keep the records straight,
and third because people expect and
wait to be reminded of the pledges
they have made. Again, the importance
of the work demanded that more than
usual efforts be made that more than
usual results be obtained"

LIEUT.. HUBERT SMITH DIES
OF WOUNDS IN FRANCE; ONE
OF CITY'S BRIGHTEST BOYS

Lieut.. Hubert Smith was killed in
service in France on Nov. 9.
This was the disheartening news,
though unofficial, which reached his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. W. A. Smith,
of Hendersonville, on Tuesday.
The news came indirectly but is
generally accepted as true.
A South Carolina lady friend of
Lieut.. Smith received a cablegram
from their mutual friend in France
to the effect that Lieut.. Smith was
killed on the 9th. This message was
conveyed to the father of the de-
ceased, who had not received the sad
news of his sons death.
Lieut.. Smith was the youngest son
of his parents. He was among the
first to get his commission from Ft.
Oglethorpe. He left Chapel Hill,
where he had finished the collegiate
course and was taking a legal course,
to enter the training camp. He re-
ceived the commission of second
lieutenant and was soon seeing ser
vice at Camp Jackson. By reason of
his brilliancy and indefatigable eff
fort he soon merited the recognition
of higher officers and as a result was
entrusted with greater duties. He
left for France during the past sum-
mer and his official career there was
excellent, resulting in his receiving
the commission of first lieutenant
and being placed in charge of more
responsible duties.
Hubert, as he is familiarly known,
was young as years go, being about
23 years old. He was an unusually
bright boy. He was a good mixer
and very agreeable and his ambition
and enthusiasm knew no bounds.
He was popular at home and in coli
lege as well as in camp and his death
removes one of HendersonviIle' 3
most promising young men and
brings sadness to his many friends.

McADOO RESIGNS

Washington, Nov. 22-William Gibbs
McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, di-
rectOr-general of the railroads and
often discussed as one of the pres1-
Dental possibilities of 1920, has re-
signed his Offices to return to private
business.
. President Wilson has accepted his
resignation. Mr.. McAdoo will give up
the treasury portfolio as soon as a,
successor has been selected. He
wished to lay down his work as di-
rector-general of railroads by Janu-
,ary 1, but will remain If the president
has not then chosen a successor.
Upon the new secretary Of the treas
Jry, whoever he may be, will devOlve
the task of financing the nation
through the transition period of war
to peace, which probably will include
two more Liberty loans and possibly
also further revision of the system
of war taxation.
Letters by President Wilson and Mr..
McAdoo made public today with the
announcement for the resignation, give
Mr.. McAdoo's reasons for leaving the
cabinet solely as a necessity for re-
plenishing his personal fortune and
express the presidents deep regret
at losing his son-in-law from his ofl-
cial family.

INFLUENZA INCREASES
IN HENDERSONVILLE

Hendersonville, which was touch
ed slightly with influenza while 9TH
er sections were in the throes of an
epidemic, has developed far more
cases than it had in the early stages
of the disease.
Several families are i'll with infiu-
enza. The majority of the cases ap-
pear to be light. The hospital, to
which many patients are resorting
for the best of attention, is under
stood to have received about all the
cases it's capacity will accommodate.
The public does not seem to be
alarmed and business is going on as
usual, but there are no public
gatherings.
