The Guffey coal control act,

In the tiny courtroom yester-

Government agreed to facilitate
movement to the U. S. Supreme
Court of the act which has split
the coal industry and which was
demanded by organized labor as
the price for maintaining peace
between the workers and en-

THURSDAYLAST DAY ON WHICH
MERCHANTS MAY ENTER CITY'S
TRADE EXPANSION CAMP AIGN

More than one-half of the mer-
chants participating in Hender-
sonville's Trade Expansion Jubilee
attended meeting at the city hall
last night and heard a report from
Mrs. Catherine Wiseman, CHAM
Der of Commerce secretary, that
tickets representing almost $1,000
have been bought to date for dis
tribution among patrons of Hen
Jacksonville stores in the awarding
of weekly cash prizes and for the
purchase of a 1886 Plymouth au-
tomObile to be given away on Fri
day, Dec. 20.
Speakers at the meeting empha-
sized the fact that Thursday is
the last day on which business
firms may enter the Jubilee.
So encouraging were Mrs. Wise
mans and other reports that the
Jubilee was declared to be an as
sured success. Without exception,
merchants who spoke at the meet
ing said the trade campaign has
materially increased business, with
prospects that interest will con-
tinue to mount weekly through
November and December,
"The extent of the success Ut
the campaign will depend largely
on the giving of tickets to every
customer" Thos. H. Franks, presl-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce
told the merchants. Certainly no
merchant would try to save few
cents by withholding tickets Wnep
by doing so he would be helping
to retard the campaign as a
whole"

FRUITLAND'S
ANNUAL FOOD
DRIVE IS NEAR
Baptist Will Rally to APP
peal Nov. 10; Speak
ers Listed

Baptists of the Carolina associ-
alton will rally to the annual ap-
peal of Fruitland Institute and
Junior College for groceries and
farm produce on November 10.
NJ. L. Walker, who was appoint
ed by the Carolina association to
select committee and arrange
for the appeal at various church
es, announces the speakers and
their appointments, as made by
the committee.
These annual requests from the
churches have been found neces-
sary as a means of keeping the
school open. The gifts have been
very substantial in nature. One
church undertakes to donate
flour, another coffee, another
sugar and the rural churches give
literally of produce. The pota-
toes and meal from these church
es last year were sufficient to
supply the school until commence
ment last spring.
The speakers will go with a new
note in their appeal for help this
year. They will solicit students
who desire to do first year college
work, such a course having been
added this year.
The list of speakers is tenta-
tive. Speakers will be sent to
other churches desiring them. In
dividuals, whether or not they
are Baptists or those whose
church will not act as a body, are
invited to make donations Of cash
or food stuffs of any kind. With
out such help as comes from these
annual appeals the school, Off
Gals state, could not have oper-
ated during the past few years
due to limited enrolment and
small income from tuition and
board.
