charge of the management of the

regulations, and requirements took
up a considerable part of Tuesdaay
morning. In his opening tulk Mr.
Reece spoke with much earnest
ness on the need of ability to do
things on the part of young men
and wom<in. In reference to the
course of study he said that some
students had choscn a commercial
course, but that no such course
was complete without a knowledge
of English and arithmetic. He
al.so encouraged the students to
look forward to college work, show
ing by comparative statistics tlmt
college men were better wage
earners than any other class.
The teachers in the summer
scliool are: Mr. and Mi’s. Miles
Reece, Mrs. Brooks, Mr. J. li. Clay

The Woodmen of Balsam Camp
No. 116 and the ladies of the Wood
men Circle nnited in a social meet
ing last Wednesday evening, which
was very enjoyable.
The guests, among whom were a
few visitors not belonging to either
order, assembled first in the fra
ternity hall, and were addressed
by Mr. W. H. Grogan, Jr., Col. R.
V. Ladd and Mr.'Joe Johnson.
Mr. Grogan made the introduc
tory talk, in which he gave a brief
history of the two orders and out
lined their aims and principles.
The Woodmen, he said, began as an
organization twenty-four years
ago with seven members'; now it
numbers a million and has paid out
insurance claims for more than
fifty million dollars. He advocated
strongly the insurance feature, in
sisting on the duty of women to
take out policies. As an induce
ment to join the circle, he an
nounced that for those making ap
plication during the next week’s
time the initiation fee would be re
duced from five to two dollars.
Col. Ladd said that he had come
up from Hendsrsonville by invita
tion, not to speak but to enjoy the
occasion. However, he f^,ave some
practical information in regard to
the companies of uniform rank
and the encampment.
Mr. Johnson made a brief talk,
eulogizing the Woodmen in glow
ing ter ma and well round<id rhet
orical ]ieiiods.
Before leaving tin; hull for re
freshments a cake made by Mrs.
W. II. Grogan, Jr., was offered for
sale for the highest vote for the
most popular lady. Mr. T. W.
Whitmire acted cashier and ex-
horter. The voting was by teams,
led by Mr. Davis Glazener and Mr.
T. L. Snelson, for Mrs. Fred John
son aml_^itis3 Lillie Price respec
tively. The result was ;5,571 votes
for Mi.^^s Price, 2,*iS0for Mrs. John
son, the cake bringing ^s.s7, the
amount to be used for the benellt
of the circle.
Refreshments consisting of ice
cream, cake and lemonade were
served abundantly iu a room ad
joining the entrance hall. The
contest cake was cut by the winner
and generously distributed. The
Woodmen have the reputjition for
looking out for their dead ; the cir
cle proved that they were equally
skillful in attendirg to the ])resent
wants of the livinjr.
JOEL E. MACKEY
Mr. Joel E. Mackey, one of the
oldest citizens of this county, died
at his home near Pisgah Forest last
Wednesday and was buried the fol
lowing day at the Davidson River
cemetery.
He was born about eighty-six
years ago at the old Mackey place,
on upper Davidson River. His
father was Joel Mackey. one of the
pioneeTs of this section, and a man
of great force of character. Like
his father, Mr. Mackey was a man
of strong convictions and strict
integrity. During the war ho
served in the western army as a
Confederate cavalryman, but ex
cepting that service his life was
not passed in the midst of public
affairs. He belonged rather to that
class of citizens who s^rve their
state and community by lives of
patient work and the faithful per
formance of humble duties, by liv
ing at peace with their neighbors
and keeping their characters un
spotted.
Since 18G6 he has been a member
of the Davidson River Presbyte
rian church, and, for a number of
years, one of its elders. He was
married to Miss Mattie Osborne, a
sister of W. K. and Charles Os
borne. She was taken from him
by death about six years ago. He
is survived by his sons Robert,
William, Charles and Joel, and his
daughter Miss Editii Mackey. Jlrs.
