HERE OBSERVE.
MUSIC Week"
Federation Sponsors
Pleasing Program
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

National Music Week, hereto
fore a Shrewdly commercialized
gesture of the radio and the
piano industry. has been given
artistic significance by the par
ticipation, through the country,
of the National Federation of
Music Clubs. They represent
100000 active music lovers,
mostly women, and, in conSe-
quence, the observances every
where take on an Importance
heretofore lacking.
Washington's share in these
events began last night with a
concert by seven of the city'S
important choirs, and will con-
tinue tonight, with banquet
and concert by D. C. member or
carnations in the National
Press Club, in honor of the ma
tional president, Mrs. Vincent
Hiles Ober, of Norfolk, Va.
NATIVE MUSIC SUNG
The choirS participating last
night in the Mt. Vernon Place
M. E. Church represented Foun-
dry Methodist, Metropolitan
Baptist, Calvary Baptist, Ham
line Methodist, Takoma Park
Presbyterian, National City
Christian, and Mt. Vernon Place
Methodist churches.
Those who believe native music
is neglected in this country do
not go to church. Fifteen COM
positions were offered. Eight
were of native origin and three
drawn from Europe made avail
able by American arrangerS OF
note.
Some of them represented such
historic names as Dudley Buck,
Rogers. Roberts, Gaul and
Woodman, known to every stu
dent of ecclesiastical music, and
they also represented spiritual
reactions that seem peculiar to
this country.
EXCERPTS FROM MASTERS
On the other hand it is not
to be denied that there were
qualities of musical magma
ton and of drama in the ex-
cerpts from Verdi's Requiem
Mass sung by the Hamline
M. E. choir, the Beethoven
"Hallelujah," sung by the Ma
tional City choir, and Mozart's
Gloria" sung by the massed
choirS under Eva Whitford Lo-
Vette'S baton.

while throughout the county are
numerous edifices erected by re-
ligious groups.
In addition to its churches, the
leading ones of which are SPLEEN

very fortunate in having two re-

operated by the Protestant Epis,,

ORGANIZATION
SET Up FIRST
BY BAPTISTS
Methodists And Presbyter-
ians in 1852; Episco-
palians in 1863

Three years after the town OF
Hendersonville was established
and it's streets and lots laid off,
steps were taken TO organize the
first religious body. Since 1904,
sthe church at Mud Greek had pro
yided services for the people IN
its vicinity. but with the growing
new town, leaders of the Baptist
denomination here felt that the
time had come for an organlza-
tion here.
d In 1914. a council of Baptist
ministers. consisting of Thomas
Stradley, John ChaSteen, Joseph
Evans, William Haynes, Jonathan
King and Merritt Hickman met IN
Hendersonville and organized the
congregation of the First Baptist
.hurch. There were fourteen char
.er members: Elisha King and
wife, Mary, Daniel Pace and wife,
Sarah, Joseph King, Benjamin
King and wife, Mary Ann Shu-
'ord, j. S. Thomas and wife, Lucy,
Mary Hart, Rebecca King, Manah
Pace. George Shackleford and
elizabeth Witzel.
James Blythe was elected pas
or, Benjamin King, clerk, Daniel
Pace and J. b. Thomas, deacons;
Sarah Pace and Lucy Thomas,
leaconeSSeS.
For at least four years after its
organization. the church had no
building Of its own, and services
we're held in the courthouse. In
he winter Of lSI7-4S, its meet
ngs were held at the mother
Lurch, Mud Greek. On October
:, 1913, the congregation Pur-
hsSed half an acre on the east
ide of Main street, and half a
lock back from the street. Henry
{. Farmer, chairman Of the cOun-
v court, made q deed for this
property 10 James Blythe, Squire
Iorgan and Benjamin King, as
rustees, and wooden building
vas erected, which the congrega-
ion continued to use for forty
ears before moving to the pres
Mt location on Fourth avenue
yeSt.
A graveyard occupied the
rounds around the old building,
which stood there until after
900, and baptismal services were
teld at Mud Greek. near where
ne present bridge on the Spar
anburg highway is located. Since
92O, the bodies have been taken
D and re-interred in the city GEM
terry, and there is nothing left
mark the place except a few
rees which stood close to the lit
le church.

erected in 1897, the Presbyterian
ministers riding through Western
North Carolina, would preach to
congregations gathered there, but
it was not until 1852 that there
was any organized church Of that
denomination in what is now Hen
dcrSon county.
The records of the Presbyter-
ian church in IlendcrSonVllle show
that:
"In compliance with the desire
expressed by number Of resi-
dents in and about the village Of
HendersOnville, n. c., and in pur-
suance Of public notice to that Ell
feet, Il meeting was held at the
home Of Mr.. Alfred Fuller in the
village aforesaid on Saturday, No
vember 20, 1852, for the purpose
Of organizing Presbyterian
church. Rev. NJ. G. Allen, acting
under commission from the board
of domestic missions Of the Pres
byterian church, in pursuance OF
Il recommendation of the Presby-
terry of Concord, presided and Of
fciated on the occasion. E"
Among the number who consti-
tuted its charter were several re-
cieved from the Free Church OF
Scotland"
The home Of Mr.. Alfred
Fuller. where the in tt |
meeting was held, was Ia
ter the residence of the late w.
A. Smith, and stood on the lot now
occupied by the Citizens National
Bank building. Mr.. Fuller was
the first elder of the church,
which did not proceed with erect
ing a building until about 1889,
when a contract was entered into
with Henry T. Farmer, of Flat
/ Rock, for its construction. At the
time this congregation organized
| and built on the lot which had
been procured from the chairman
of the county court, Seventh ave-
nue.. where the church is located,
was the extreme northern boun-
Diary of the town.
When the last addition was
made to the church, many OF the
graves in the grounds surrounding
it were moved, while others were
enclosed within its walls.
EPISCOPAL
The only religious sanctuary on
Main street, Saint James church
is also the only one of the early
churches which still occupies its
original building, erected in early
DAYS of the towns history.
After Saint John in the Wilder
ness was organized at Flat Rock,
its congregation became interest
ed in holding occasional services
! in Hendersonville, and in 1853,
Bishop Atkinson made report OF
the first visit to the town.
In 1860, his journal showed:
public worship was held for
the first time in three new
churches on the occasion Of my
visitations to the parishes in which
they have been erected, but which
could not be copsecrated, not be-
ing finished. One of them at
Hendersonville."
! The Rev. N. Colin Hughes, the
first rector of Saint James parish,
moved here, with his family, from
Pittsboro, and lived at what was
then known as the Cash House,
on the corner of Main street and
Seventh avenue. In that year,
1852, he reported that he found
eight communicates in Hender-
sorkille. The first rector was the
father of the present Rev. N. Col
in Hughes, who resides here.

Government 'informers," whose

given to the Treasury today by Acting

Therefore, Mr. Elliott said, aliens

OF on-citizens in the continental
United States.
The question was raised in connec-
ton with use of alien informers. who
were represented as offering ''invalu-
able assistance" to the Narcotics Bu-
reau. Secretary Morgenthau did not
believe this class of employment came
under the alien ban on regular en-

general agreed.
Mr.. Elliott said further that the

HITS PAVING CHARGE
Company Answers d. c. Suit by
Denying Liability Based on
Track Removal.

Answering a recent suit filed by the
District of Columbia. the Capital
Transit Co., in District Court late yes|
terday. contended that it does not
owe the municipality $14,927 for the
pavng of P street, from Dupont Circle
to Twenty eighth street NV, because
of the removal Of the street car tracks
from that area.
The company asserted through its
attorney S. R. Bowen. that the Dis
trict, prior to the removal of the tracks,
determined to repave and resurface
p street. in that area, and 80 notified
the firm. The defendant company
characterized the suit as IAN attempt
by the plaintiff to collect from the de-
fendant the costs or part of the costs
which the plaintiff has incurred for
permanent paving in the public streets
solely for the future use OF the gen.
eral public, which paving is the sole
duty of the plaintiff"
The answer of the Company holds
that it would be grossly inequitable"
to impose such paving costs on it,
inasmuch as the firm would not bene-
1T particularly, over the general pub
lie. The company. says the answer.
Is paying its proportionate share OF
