A. E. ACKER, 0. P. & T. A., Asheville, N. 0.
J. n. WOOD, Div. Pass. Agent, Asheville, N. 0.
More than 130 Asheville and. Bun
combe county boosters sat down at
the "prosperity day" banquet ar
ranged by the board of trade at the
Battery Park hotel last evening. A
splendidly appointed menu served to
give zest to the spirits of the guests
and eleven snappy speakers, : intro
duced, by Toastmaster Robert S.
Jones, president of the : board of
trade, told with brevity and wit of
Asheville's good financial condition in
past months and outlined a rosy
prospect for the future.
In opening the discussion Mr. Jones
said that since February 1912 this
city had made, great strides in com
mercial and civic departments. In
these things the membership of the
board of trade had taken a leading
part and the value of its work is un
iversally recognized.
Bruce Drysdale, president of the
Ad club, described the launching of
the' "pay-up week" campaign by the
club and reported that the business
men of Asheville had found it a
movement of great benefit to trade
conditions here. The big idea behind
the plan, said the speaker, Is that it
caused people to realize the ad van
tages of discounting their obligations
as a sure way of maintaining pros
perity.
Buying at Home.
George E. Lee made a witty talk
on the work Of the home made dollar
and the benefits of buying at home.
He gave : ten commandments that
should govern the purchase of goods.
Commissioner. D. Hlden Ramsey
brought forth applause when he out
lined Improvements for the city,
mentioning more swimming pools, ad
ditions to Aston park, more parks
and paved streets und better fire and
police protection. He referred to a
summary of accomplishments by the
city as outlined in an editorial in The
Times yesterday afternoon and stated
that still greater economies and lm
provements might be expected in
1916.
The toastmaster read the following
telegram from Morris Lipinsky who
is in New York:
"Congratulations and best wishes
for prosperity today; sorry I cannot
be with you tonight."
William Farr gave data obtained
from fifteen business men which
showed a total volume of business for
the past three months amounting to
nearly $2, 000,000 with a percentage
of gain over the same period last
year of over 25 per cent.
L. B. Rogers, speaking for the
wholesale grocers, said that being un
supported by large manufacturing en
terprises the grocers in this section.
while prospering generally, had not
kept pace with similar lines of busi
ness in manufacturing centers. He
showed that the buying power of the
dollar had fallen to 75 per cent,
causing the consumer, on account of
war conditions, to pay more for the
necessaries. But demand has been
good and money fairly plentiful.
Wants Good Roads
E. C. Chambers gave an account of
the increased tourist business that
may be expected here when tho Con
tral highway is opened to tho west,
affording entrance to 1,000,000 cars In
the Mississippi and Ohio valleys, lie
urged the improvement of county
roads so that tourists would find it
pleasant to stay a whllo on arrival In,
the Land of tho Sky.
Frank M. Weaver explained how
the people of Asheville have gradual
ly been led to give up their old time
prejudice against an industrial devel
opment In a resort center. He show
ed the fallacy in the belief that a
town can be thoroughly alive without
strong commercial backing at the
base of Its prosperity and Predicted
an Industrial progress here compara
ble to tha achievements In tourist
business.
A showing how far Asheville ad
vertising "dope" travels Thomas
Wadley Raoul read a postcard quot
ed In a Battle Creek newspaper In
which a tourist returning from tho
south said "Don't kill your wife; let
the Mountain City laundry do ihe
dirty work." Mr. Raoul reiterated Ills
conviction that more money should be
spent by the hotels, board of trade
and other enterprises In keeping up
the advertising campaigns and in
building toads.
No Money Borrowed.
I I Jenkins stated that Asheville
banks for. the first time In nine
months had no money borrowed or
redlscounted, and thut anybody with
i good naner can secure loans. lie
A meeting of representative women,
delegates from the various women's
cubs of Asheville, was held yesterday
ai'ternoon iD the offices of the S. A. '
Lynch enterprises to consider the pro
posal by the company to inaugurate
"Children's matinees" under the aus
pices and witlfthe co-operation of the
women's organizations of the city for
the purpose of presenting motion pic
ture entertainment suitable for the
children and young people. Children's
matinees have been started all over
the country and Asheville has placed
herself in the front rank with the lead
ing educational centers of the land.
The following named delegates at
tended the meeting Mrs.. William S.
Whiting, president of the local feder
ation of clubs; Mrs. Charles A. Webb
of the Current Literature club; Mrs.
J. W. Huston of the Historv club and
of the Montford school Parent-Teachers'
association; Mrs. K. L. Baird of
the Parent-Teachers' association of
Ashcland avenue; Mrs. J. S. Williams
and Mrs. George Shuford of the Worn
an's club; Mrs. Frank Smith of the
Friday Book club and Mrs. Charles
Malcolm Piatt, district representative
ot tne state federation of women s
Wubs. As interested participants,
there were also present Judge J. Fra-
zler Glenn and L. B. Rogers, the latter1
from the Rotary club.
A renresetnative ot the Lvnch or
ganization called the meeting to order,
stating the object of the gathering and
requesting that the delegates name a
committee of their own selection
of suitable programs for showing at
the proposed children's matinees. Af
ter an interesting discussion which
was entered into by all present Mrs.
Charles A. Webb was named as head
of the committe with power to select
the members of the committee to act
with her from all the clubs and parr
ents organizations 'Df the city.
One. of the delegates stated that the
S. A. Lynch enterprises is the first
theater, management in the state to
voluntarily take the Initiative in ask
ing the co-operation of organized
women's clubs in the establishment
of motion picture matinees for ehil
dren. Considerable enthusiasm was
manifested and the concensus of opin
Ion seemed to be that a long step for
ward has been taken in the movemen
to provide proper entertainment for
young people in Asheville.
Jin Exceptional Collection of Spring Apparel
for adies and Misses
The women who braved the inclement weather and view
ed our collection of Spring garments Tuesday were well re
paid for the effort.
They found many new ideas that were just making their
initial appearance in the Fashion Centers. These garments
are still on display and we would be delighted to have you
come up and see them.
We announce a complete showing of Spring apparel ;
right at the first of March. This is unusual, but if you con
sider the condition of the market scarcity of materials
rising prices, etc., you will readily understand why the Bon
Marclie has such complete assortments. We are safeguard
ing your interests as far as it is in our power to do so.
Sport coats are to be worn a great deal this Spring. The
any novel effects that we show will aid you in selecting the
proper garment. Mixed Scotch materials have the call, while
solid white is a strong opponent for popular favor. Sport
coats are priced at $7.50 to $25.00.

Exercises.
Despite the fact that It was shorter
by two days than January, although
It was a "leap year" February and
contained one day more than usual,
the records in the county register of
deed's office shows that last month
was one of the best for some time.
A total of $804.40 was taken In for
papers of all kinds in the office and
64 marriage licenses were issued.
During February, 1915, a much
smaller sum was taken in at the of

were Issued. Tho otticlals of the of

the Increase In business In the office,
other than to say that "Business Is
good In Asheville."
