Where To?

Fleeing in the face OF privatlon or
death that sometimes prcccdcS, some
times accompanies and always fol-
lows war, thousands OF children.
aged persons and invalids have been
removed from areas of Europe that
have been or may be uVcrrun by the
clashing of armies. The newest in
stance Of the kind is that in Egypt,
where 5000 are being suddenly
Snatched from their homes and
evacuated TO the interior IN the fear
Of immediate hoStilitics.
1t happened in Poland last fall
when the world first learned the
meaning of the word blitzkrcig. Ii
happened last winter in tiny Fin
land, only to find its counterpart on
Il bigger scale when the German war
machine rolled into Holland, Belgium
and northern France few short
weeks ago. Long ago thousands Of
little children were taken from their
homes in London and other exposed
British cities and towns, separated
from their parents and loved ones
and sent far into the interior, where
it was thought they would be safer.
Possibly never in all history have
there been such mass flights in ad-
vance Of approaching armies as has
occurred in the last nine months in
various parts Of Europe and in other
segregated areas This takes into
no account the fugitive Chinese who
have been forced into state Of
homeless existence by the japanese

An Impressive Record

Eighty thousand dollars worth of
of new building licensed in single
month. as was the case in May, is
an impressive showing for any city
the size o. Henderson. A further
gratifying aspect Of the achievement
is the fact that the work was we'll
distributed between business and
residential property.
Still another thing to be kept in
mind about it is that all Of this was
within the greatly restricted city
limits. y number of residences and
likewise some business structures
outside and beyond the l,200-yard
radius would add much more to the
record of progress furnished by tho
statistics And when consideration
IS given 10 Henderson as a city or as
a community. the outside areas
should be included.
1t all adds up TO the fact that HCnd-
cyson citizens have or can get the
necessary financing for building en-
lrrpriscS. and that many of them
are making investments of that kind.
|, odds up still further to the steady
growth and increasing Importance
OF the city in the business and social
lie Of great State.
Additional proof is thus furnish
cd 10 the agc-old contention that VIC
do possess the facilities and the
ability to expand and grow. The ono
big thing lacking is the same def
cheney that has always been ours,
namely. that more and more pay
rolls are needed A steady acquiSi-
ton of this asset would send us on
our way toward really high and
worthwhile accomplishments

Henderson Grows

In spite of its rigidly, circumscrlo-
cd area. Henderson has managed 10
grow during the past decade. 10
have experienced pUpulatIon Ill
crease of slightly more than twenty
percent within the narrow confines
Of its l.2O0-yard radius is an achieve
ment that admits of 4 degree Of PRIDE
ON the part of all its citizens.
The official, even if preliminary
1910 census count shows that the
city proper now numbers i.6iI Souls
or 1902 more than the 6.345 who
lived here ten years ago in 1880. Inc
record accomplishment is indicative
of the surprising expansion III new
homes and new families within the
already crowded areas that are de
>ir3ble and suitable for that purpose
Few OF lis perhaps have realized
the full extent OF building that has
been done. especially in tie way O.
residences made necessary 10 &C

who have cast their lot with us in

were those who doubted the accu-
r1cv OF the figure But the 1916
census gives substance to that find

condolences of the count. II Will be
generally conceded, we think, by
practically every one with Il know
ledge of conditions that there are
equally as many people residing in
those areas OF Greater Henderson

within the circle that makes up the
city proper.

In holding that the tcn-StOry ODD
Fellows building in Raleigh is sub
ircl 10 taxation. the State Supreme
Court has taken 4 stand that to Us
has always seemed right and Just.
Il has been an ugc-uld tradition in
this country that property owned
and wholly occupied by benevolent,
educational Or religious groups for
their own uses should be free from
ad valovcm lcvicS: and that seems
to Us 10 be Il reasonable policy.
But property owned by one Of
these or like groups, and not utilized
on occupied wholly by it, and which
completes in commercial markets
with uthcl real estate, should have
no claim 10 exemptions. 1t ought to
