Receipt of a check for S5OO
for five shares of the stock OF
the Hendersonville Golf q Coun-
try club from E. c. Marshall,
president of the Southern Public
Utilities company, was announced
today by J. w. Duff, secretary
of the club.
In a letter accompanying the
check, Mr.. Marshall directed that
tho stock be issued in the COM
pany's name and that the mem
bership benefits be assigned to
five members of the local staff
of the company. This will entitle
the five members to a reduction
of $40 a year in their golf mem
bership fees, the rate for family
memberships being $50 a year
for persons not owning stock and
$50 for families in which a share
of stock is owned.
By it's purchase of five shares
of stock, the utilities company
becomes one of the two largest
stockholders. The other, the
Greyling Realty company, also
owns five shares. Only a few of
the original 100 owner-member-
ship shares are now available.

fnized the Importance of complet-
ing the golf course in Laurel
Park and has given substantial
financial support" Mr.. Duff said.
"This action was taken after
thorough investigation of the
work that has been done on the
course and in recognition of our
contention that the course and
clubhouse will, next to climate
and other natural assets, be the
city's greatest attraction for tour
lists and other visitors"
Mr.. Duff said that scores of
local and visiting golfers are an
xiously awaiting the opening of
the course for play in July.
After an inspection of the
course Sunday, Henry Westall of
Asheville, who is serving the golf
clubs board of governors in an
advisory capacity. said the green's
would be benefited if they were
played on now but that the
course will have to receive at
least one more good rain and
then be rolled before the fair
ways can be played on. Dry
weather has greatly retarded
growth of the grass in the fair
ways, but the board still believes
that conditions will be such as to
warrant the opening of the
course about July 4,

week.
While confusion over the tariff
cut proposal grew, Senator. Kcy
Pittman, of Nevada, proceeded
with a project for the free use Of
silver as a supplementary metal
with gold for backing world cur
rencies.
The senator's plans, submitted
in a resolution to the monetary
committee of the economic con-
ference, would first stabilize Guy
rencies, and then increase the use
of silver for monetary purposes.
Pittman suggested:
1-Re-establishment Of gold as
the international measure Of eX-
change.
2-Use of silver also as back
ing for paper, up to 20 per cent
of the gold reserves.
Under Pittman's plan, the cen

gold coverage to rs per cent of
the paper money in circulation.
and then use silver for one-fifth
of that amount of gold.

HOLLER SAYS
DRASTIC CUTS
TO Be MADE
State Commissioner Con-
fers With Local Boards
on Set-up
SALARY SCHEDULE
is NOT AVAILABLE

In conferences held here this
morning with city and county
school boards, o. j. HOller, sta'c
school commissioner for the eIey-
enth district, indicated that the
school city limits of Henderson
vile will be extended to include
considerable territory in each di-
rection. This would be done TO
increase the city school popula-
ton for the purpose of more eco
nomically administering the stat"
system. Such extension probably
would include Druid Hills, Laurel
Park and other adjacent territory,
thus reducing transportation and
other costs to the state sChoO ad-
nlinistration. Mr.. HOller said he
could not indicate the state salary
schedule for teachers or the detl-
mite amounts available for other
purposes, but intimated that draS-
tic reductions along all lines will
be necessary.
Both the city and county boards
assured Mr.. Holler of their fullest
cooperation in setting up the To-
cal school organizations under the
new law. He said the purpose OF
his visit was to acquaint himself
with the local situation as to at
tendance, costs and the like, after
which he will submit a recommeh-
dation to the state board on the
location of school boundaries, OPP
Grating costs, transportation sys-
tenn and other requisites of sue
cessful administration of the
schools within the financial llmlta-
tions of the state.
Mr.. Holler left this afternoon
after asking the city and county
boards to submit separate mapS
showing where the two groups
think the city-cOunty school I'M
its should be established. These
maps will be used by the state
commission in connection with
Mr.. Holler's recommendation to a
meeting of the commission in Ra-
leigh within the next few days.
