The Committee of Arrange ments anthorizes the statement that tne Hill Climbing Contest will positiTelv he pnlled off as announced. There is absolute ly no foundation for 'he rumor that efforts will be made to stop the hill climb, owing to the ap parent danger of these events. All precautions will be observ ed and it is no believed any accident will result, as all cars entered are to be driven by ex perienced men, thoroughly familiar with the attendant dangers. $500 Df TBOPHIES. The prizes and trophies offered in the automobile parade and hill climb contest, next Tuesday, are on exhibi tion in Lott's shoe? store window, ana make the finest display of its kind ever shown in Hendersonville. The ladies are more especially in terested in the prizes offered for the -rhest' decorated cars a sthese entries will be made by the gentler sex. That ' magnificent picture hat with its trail- ing white plume is sufficient to stir - the spirit of emulation in the most blase. The hat is certainly a picture - it represents the best efforts of Ashe- ville's best man milliner, Mr. Hooa, who has but just returned from the North with the latest decrees or Dame Fashion. , . jf The Rochester Chafing Dish, is an other prize that will appeal to any woman. It is the genuine Rocnester make, as Mr. W. H. Hawkins, from whom it was purchased, will assure you, and its retail value is $2a.00 The beautiful -Pickard China Tank ard is really the Pickard make it is no initiation. It was bought from 3Ir. Hawkins, also, and will be an or- nament to any home. - THE SILTER CUPS. The silver cups, of varying values, are all for the hill climb contest an event which will be participated in by out-of-town cars in, addition to many already here. The hill climb, with its element of danger, promises to attract thousands to Laurel Park on next Tuesday, while the parade m the morning will be of hardly less m , teresL $100 CERTIFICATE OF STOCK. The first certificate of stock issued by the Laurel Park Hotel Company will h eiven free to some fortunate lady or girl whcr holds a lucky num w t lie drawn from a hat on the .site of the new hotel in the park.

The above is a brief outline of the biggest amusement event of the sea son of 1911. SUCCESS ASSURED. A sufficient number of entries have already been made to assure the suc cess of the occasion. It is attract ing attention, not only in Hendersan ville and its neighboring cities of Asheville, Spartanburg, and Green ville, but in far off Charleston, Savan nah and Jacksonville. While it is hardly to be expected that cars will come from either of the last named cities especially for the event, the brief time almost prohibiting this, still many cars already here from there will enter both the parade and hill to test the hill climbing possibilities As to the hill climb there will be plenty of fentries. The average ow ner of a motor car now-a-day is about as proud of his machine as a motner is of a new baby, and they all want to test the hill climbing possibiliters of their cars. Now there's Dr. Egerton and Cap tain Toms, for instance. They both swear that their machines will climb a telegraph pole without turning a hair and they're going to demonstrate that fact at Laurel Park on next Tues day afternoon. . DANGER IN HILL CLIMB. Of course, there is a very large ele ment of danger in the hill climb. The cars make a standing start one at a time. They are allowed to use any gear. they, wish the nine cups go to those making the steep hill in the shortest time. It's dangerous, of course, but its mighty exciting- ADDITIONAL PRIZE. An additional prize was offer ed yesterday for this event by , Mr. J. T. Chase and Mr. L. A. Wise. It's a very handsome piece of cut glass and will be awarded to the lady gues sing nearest the best time made in climbing the hill by any machine. Every effort will be made to pre vent accidents on the course. The hill has been put in good condition for the test. Still, once the spirit of emulation is aroused men are apt to forget the ever present danger and are willing to take long chances to win one of the coveted trophies. DECORATED CARS. In the parade there will be some prettily decorated cars. Just how many cars will be entered it is im- I DOSsible to tell, now. But the e- tremeiy valuable prizes offered are sufficient to excite general interest and that general interest is being manifested. Cars may be entered in the names of any lady. She need not necessari ly be the owner of that car. In a numbVr of instances, ownerg of ma chines have gotten girl friends in terested in the event . who will, en ter their cars, attend to the decora tions, ride in the machine and the parade and be eligible to one of the prizes offered. These prizes are all on exhibition in Lott's Shoe Store window where they speak for themselves. They are ail beautiful and of sterling worth. There are ten prizes and trophies. Three for the parade, three each for he three hill climb events, and the one extra guessing nearest- the time made. ' In addition to all this there is the first 100 dollar, certificate of stock issued by the Laurel Park Hotel Com pany. This 'is open to all; ladies on the .grounds at the site of the new hotel, at the time the number is drawn:v ' At the Methodist Chnrch., Services at the First Methodist church tomorrow are as follows: " Sunday school at 9:45 a." m., and preaching at 11 a. m. by RevVDr G.

BALL, ENTERTAIN STATE CONVENTION Two hundred Dollars, as starter, pledged and Cam paign for adequate sum already begun. Hen dersonville to "put best foot forward. Reputa tion must be sustained at all Hazzards. At a called meeting of the physi cians of the Henderson-Polk County. Medical 'Society last Tuesday at the Court House the first steps and plans were outlined and discussed looking toward the entertainment of the North Carolina Medical Association in Hen dersonville in June 1912. The following is a list of the Com mittee on -Arrangements: Dr. A. B. Drafts, Dr. W. R. Kirk, Dr. J. R. Wil liams. Dr. G. E. Dixon and Dr. L. B., Morse, Chairman of Hendersonville and Dr. E. McQ- Salley, Saluda, and Dr. W. M. Lyday of Penrose, N. C. All the physicians of the County So ciety are appointed on the reception committee. The finance committee is composd of Mr. J. C. Morrow, Dr. J. R. Williams nd Dr. L. B. Morse. It was the consensus of opinion the society that Hendersonville should give the doctors of the state one of the warmest welcomes which they have ever before received. It is to be remembered "What thist is the first time that we have ever been able to get the state society here. Numbers of places smaller than Hendersonville have had the privelege of entertaining this association, but this is the first for the fair city of Hendersonville. Every member present was enthusiasT tic in his belief that we should spare no efforts to make the meeting a red letter one in the history of the asso ciation.. . . . : " At the recent meeting of the State- Association in Charlotte there were J before which some one hundred a?d large number8 of people who exp res-j fifty applicants for licensure in the pressed a desire to' come to Henderson j practice pf medicine convenes. At ville . It was surprising " to learn ! the same time also the Board of Healtn how many had heard of the attrac-jof the of the State of . North Carolina tions of this city, but had never been ; and the North Carolina Health As here. All expressed themselves as j sceiation meets. wanting to come, and it is safe to sayj it is thus seen that three distinct that we i 11 likely have the largest j organizations will be present in Hen number e-e that has ever attended j dersonvilTe, at one time. Not less a similar meeting of this organiza-j than six hundred people will likely at tion. . .tend this meeting. No enrt as spread in publicity! It is the sincere hope of the com both prior-to the last meeting and at ; mittee that .the public will come to thWtime the physicians were in Char-j the aid of the situation and help this lotte. . - 1 While it yet too early to state justj . .

L. Meadows of Florence, reached the city yesteday and Will spend several weeks here and in neighboring towns. Mr. W. N.

Johnson, at Asheville is ex pected to visit his son here in the city in the course of a few days. The dance at the Wheeler hotel Thursday night was of an unusually pleasant nature and the couples in attendance enjoyed the occasion to a considerable degree The orchestra as now constituted is fully as good as heretofore and that means that ex cellent music is offered the guests. Mrs. W. F. Twitty and mcther, Mrs. Woods, who have been spending sev eral months in the city left yesterday for their home, at Darlington, S. C. Dr. Herman H. Hulten, pastor of the First Baptist church of Charlotte will arrive in the city Monday to preach each evening for two weeks in con nection with the evangelists services which b egin tomorrow in the First Baptist Church building. Dr. Hulten is cue of the foremost divines of the entire country and the people of this community haVe a rare treat in store. what the entertainment features will likely be; it seemed to the committee that it would be necessary to raise an amount not less than one thous and dollars to do justice to this aus picious occaesion. It was then de cided to make an effort at once to as certain the amount of money avail able or that could be pledged for this purpose. The physicians of the County So ciety, as a society, voted unanimous ly to appropriate the sum of $200.00 as the first subscription to the fund. In the near future the finance coro mitte will call upon the citizens of the town, and it is hoped that every one will feel it to his advantage to make liberal donations in behalf of this important meeting. No other con vention has ever been held jn Hender scnville that should be of such beni fit as the coming one. An effort will be made to have the physicians bring their families to these beautiful moun tains. The converiine of the society here should determine many of these men in building summer residences in Hendersonville. It will mean that many of them get the habit of scend- ing their summers here, once they are initiated into the virtues of our clim ate and beautiful city. The meeting--in June ig more than a meeting of the North Carolina Medi cal Association.
