Rotary Club
Names Trio
To Assist
Date And Scope or
Celebration In 194l
To be Fixed by Gen.
trail Committee Prob
ably at Early Date;
Plan Big Occasion.

First steps toward planning Tor
the Henderson centennial cclebra-
ton in 1871 were taken at meet
ing late Tuesday Of the committee
appointed some months ago by the
KiWanis club from its own member
ship, and that group issued invita-
tons to the Rotary and Lions clubs
and the Henderson Chamber OF
commerce and other groups 10
name representatives. on a central
committee to have charge OF the
program.
One Of the first moves now to be
made is for these groups to go be
fore tho City Council at its MONTH
ly meeting next Monday night and
ask that body 10 adopt preIlmln-
airy resolution making available dur
ing tho coming year the sum OF ST.
""0 toward Geiraying the costs OF
the celebration. A like amount, and
possibly moro. will be sought later
by popular subscription.
The Council obtained &uthorlZa-
ton from the 1889 General Assem-
bly, to contribute $1,000 toward the
cost of the celebration. Placing OF
this item in the 1901 city bud
get will be asked by the Council
Monday night. The group will also
be asked to name Two on three OF
its own members to serve with
the centennial committee.
The Rotary club Tuesday night
designated B. II. Perry. Al. B. Yves
ter and Henry T. Morris rs its rep
rcsentatives on the central COM
mittee. The Lions club is expected
to follow suit al its meeting this
evening. and the Chamber Of Com
mcrce directors. meeting next Mon
day. will likely name their .epre-
at that time.
After these representatives have
been designated, meeting of the
full committee is to be held to be-
gin definite plans for the celebra-
lion. including the fixing Of date,
generally the scope Of the
went. and the designation Of other
to have charge Of de-
ailS of the undertaking. Sponsors OF
the movement plan 70 make the
event perhaps the most outstanding
occasion in the history of the city.

Scout Drive
Suffers In
Bad Weather

Efforts TO raise $500 in cash and
pledges to support the work Of the
Bow Scouts in Henderson during 1910,
and which were begun with drive
last Monday, have been frustrated in
large measure by inability Of work.
ers to get about due 10 the rain and
bad weather, it was said today.
Solicitors were unable to make
calls on prospects, and for that rea-
son definite reports us TO the pro-
gress Of the drive were not available
Today.
G. E. Greene is chairman of the
Boy Scout Council of Henderson, and
is heading the campaign. He is be-
ing assisted by other officials Of the
council, and also by voluntary
solicitors.
1t was hoped that the canvass
could be completed during the cur
rent week. and that the entire
amount sought could be realized
New officers were recently elected
by the council, and plans are in the
making for the years work, depend
ing to some extent on the support
that is provided in the current CAM
paign for funds.
The Boy Scouts shared in the COM
munity chest last year and the year
before, but since the chest is not OPP
Grating in 1910, the Scouts have been
forced on their own resources, and
thus the present drive FOR funds.

Legislative Mandate
Requires Cleansing of

New Enrolment, And
Latter Seems Likely
In Vance.

An Out-and-Out new registration
Of voters before the May IS primary
election is probable, according l.
opinion of some members Of the
Vance County Board Of Elections.
That procedure appears now to be
favored rather than an attempt L"
purge" the registration books. sine
the 1889 legislature provided that one
or the other moves should be made
in all counties before another pr
mary election was held
The county elections board consist.
of A. w. GholSOn, il, as chairman.
with w. B. Daniel as secretary, bot
Democrats, and John F. Hicks, Re
publican member. The three yer

Democratic Executive Committee last
Saturday for submission to the Stat"
Board of Elections, which will mC@'
March l6 to approve boards in al
of the 100 counties Of the Stat. Re
appointment Of the board by tn
State group is considered a certain.
A new registration would clint
nate confusion, complaints and OtnC2
objections, by comparison with CT
forts to purge" the present regis
tiers. it is held by those interested.
The last legislature provided that
there should be separate rcgi$tr2-
ton books for the Democrats and Re-
pubIicans. so as to keep the parties
segregated. 1t would also minimize
charges Of Republicans voting in
Democratic primaries, i is thought.
Shortly after the meeting Of tho
State Board of Elections, the count,
board will meet and take action o.,
