In Order to Refute Charges Let
ters from Church Officials
are Here Shown.

Some good speaker will be at this

members from each local, in addi
tion to the delegates, will be pres
ent. T. tJ. Henderson,
Co. Ch’n F. E. & C. U. A.
To the People of Transylvania Co.:
At the earnest solicitation of
some personal friends I am pub
lishing herewith certain letters and
receipts which refute the allegation
that I had not repaid the Asheville
Baptist church for money advanced
me when a boy in school. The
money herein spoken of was put up
by my Sunday school class freely
and without compulsion.
On March 10, 1908, 1 wrote Mr.
J. H. Tucker of Asheville, N. C.,
who was superintendent of the
Baptist Sunday school and also a
deacon of the church, that I de
sired to repay the church the
money they advanced for me. In
this letter I told him the only data
I had as to the amount advanced
was a letter from Dr. Mitchel say
ing the church had sent $15.00. I
give Mr. Tucker’s reply below :
Law office of Tucker & Murphy,
Battery Park Bank Building.
Asheville, N. C., March 16, 1908.
Mr. Charles B. Deaver, Statesville, N. C.:
Dear Sir—With reference to the letter
you wrote me a few days ago about the
money furnished you by the church and
Sunday school while you were at Wake
Forest College, we have no way of ascer
taining the amount, but I talked with Mr.
McConnell and Mr. Stradley about the
matter today, and we all thought it was
somewhere between $40 and $60, but as to
that we are not certain and will leave tht
matter entirely to your conscience, believ
ing that you will do whatever is right
about the matter, and whatever you do
will be satisfactory to the church and Sun
day school. The $15.00 you refer to as
having been mentioned by Dr. Mitchel
was money sent by the church to Dr.
Mitchel but was not all you received
while you were there, but as to the
amount we are all confident you will do
whatever is right, and we are perfectly
willing to leave the matter to the dictates
0^ your conscience. Feeling that your
motives are proper and right, we want to
assure you that we thoroughly appreciate
your proposition.
It is a pleasure for us to help worthy
boys, and our church does a great deal of
that kind of work, in which we feel a
special pride. The old First Church has
boys in almost all parts of the country,
and they aften write to some of us telling
us how much they appreciated the help
they received when it was so much needed.
If the church was of any service to you,
then we rejoice in it. While we regret
you did not carry out your original inten
tion, we are sure you acted upon the best
light that was before you. Sincerely
yours, (Signed) J. H. Tucker.
I quote in part my letter to Mr.
Turker. The letter is too long to
pubiish in full:
Statesville, N. C., March 16, 1908.
Mr. J. H. Tucker, Asheville, N. C.
My Dear Sir—I am sorry you cannot as
certain the amount which the church
paid out for me at W. F. C., and the only
data from which I have to work is Dr.
Mitchel’s letter. However, since there is
a difference between the amount he states
and the approximate total which you gen
tlemen seem to think correct, I shall not
be bound by the doctor’s statement absr •
lutely. You say after consultation you
think the amount somewhere between $40
and $60. Now I think I will be fair to
myself and to the church in offering $40.
which is $10 more than double the amount
stated by Dr. Mitchel. Now if my propo.
sition meets with your approval I should
like to hear from you. With best wishes,
sincerely yours, Charles B. Deaver.
I now quote Mr. Tucker’s reply:
Law office of Tucker & Murphy,
Battery Park Building.
Asheville, N. C., March 18,1908.
Mr. Charles B. Deaver, Statesville, N. C..
Dear Sir—Your favor of the 16th to
hand. Your arrangement spoken of in
that letter will be perfectly satisfactory,
although it would be better for the church
if you could afford to pay the same as
quickly as possible so it might be used
during this session.
I like the spirit of your letter exceeJ-
ingly and had many good wishes for your
future success. Hoping you may prosper,
I remain, yours very truly,
(Signed) J. H. Tucker.
I now give the full receipt signed
by G. F. Stradley, treasurer First
Baptist Church:
$40.00. Received of Charies B. Deaver
the sum of Forty Dollars in full settlement
of all dues, demands and obligations aris
ing by implication or otherwise, in favor
of the First Baptist Church of Asheville,
N. C., for aid extended him while a stu
dent at Wake Forest College. That the
offer and payment of this money was en
tirely a voluntary act upon the part of
Mr. Deaver, without any compulsion,
pressure, demand or solicitation from the
church, (Signed) G. F. Stradley,
Treas. First Baptist Ch., Asheville, N. C.
I now give the check I issued
which was duly honored and paid :
Statesville, N. C., April 4, ’08. No. 165.
Pay to the ordeir of G. F. Stradley,
Treas. 1st Bap. Church, Asheville, $40.00
Forty and no 100 Dollars.
Chas. B. Deaver.
This check was paid by the above
bank April 9, 1908. In addition to
the above I have contributed liber
ally for a man of my very limited
means to the endowment fund of
Wake Forest and have the checks
to show it, besides considerable
correspondence verifying the above
statements, and receipts^ the length
of which makes their publication
nwxt to impossible. Sincerely
yours, Chas. B. Deaver.
W. N. C.CONFERENCE
The twenty-third session of the
Western North Carolina Conference
of the Methodist Church, South,
meets in annual session November
20-25 at High Point, N. C. The
lirevard Methodist Church must
have in its reports not later than
Monday morning, November 18.
• For quite a number of years the
"irevard church has met all its
inancial obligations in full. It
goes without saying that this year
will be no exception to the rule in
that respect.
If anyone has not paid up in full
his assessments call on one of the
stewards and attend to the matter
at once, so that the final report may
be put in shape for the approaching
annual conference. Every mem
ber ought to find pleasure m shar
ing the burdens of the church and
meeting his solemn obligations to
the Master of us all.
At best we are going to have a
struggle to raise the amount calU d
for, but if everyone will do his
duty the pastor will be able to
make a creditable report on the
floor of the confference.
Let the Brevard Methodist church
arise in her strength and do her
full duty!
Only a woman can understand
the prostrating effect of disorders

of it and its depressing influence
on the mind. Many women who
formerly suffered from those dis
orders owe their present health to

CdMPOUND. It exercises a power
ful restorative influence on the fe
male generative system, builds up
a strong body, restores healthy
regularity and promotes cheerful
ness and a clear, rosy complexion.
