HENDERSONVILLE, N. C, TUESDAY, MARCH 18, 1919
Vol.3. No. 12
Independent
$21,400 RAISED FOR GOLF
COURSE NEAR THIS CITY;
100 ACRES NEAR HILLGIRT
In Notable Campaign of One and
One-Half Days Sufficient- Funds
Are Subscribed to Give Henderson
ville Excellent Golf Course.
Twenty-one thousand and four
hundred dollars have been subscribed
for a Hendersonville golf course and
unless unforeseen things miscarry the
plans now well under way the golf
ers will be treated to their sport by
A.pril 1, 1920.
The NEWS recently published the
proposition of the Stony Mountain
Company relative to a golf course.
The proposition, which was made to
the Board of Trade, was favorably
considered, an expert was secured to
look over the grounds and a most re
markable campaign was made last
Friday and Saturday, resulting in
subscriptions amounting to $10,900 in
addition to the subscription of $10,
500 by Stony Mountain Company.
This company proposed to take stock
to this extent, the subscription to be
in the form of 100 acres of land,
valued at $7,500, and $3,000 in cash,
provided others would subscribe to
the amount of $10,000.
Having favorably considered the
proposition the Board of Trade
named the following committee : K.
G. Morris, chairman; Erie G. Still
well, C. F. Bland, E. J. Rhodes, F.
A. Ewbank, Brownlow Jackson, Dr.
A. C. Tebeau. The committee went
to work Friday and on Saturday the
task was practically finished. It was
a wonderful feat on the part of the
committee a notable achievement
The workers found people hungry
for a golf course because many in
stances are known wherein Hender
sonville has suffered badly because
it had nothing to offer golfers and
their name is legion. They constitute
a most desirable class of tourists -
and that in winter and thus begins
a new chapter for Hendersonville as
a tourist town. R. A. Leonard, a
golf expert, builder of courses and
instructor, was induced to investigate
the site offered by the Stony Moun
tain Company opposite the entrance
to its property, on the Henderson-
ville-Asheville highway and the
Southern railway, near Hillgirt. He
reported most favorably and the com
mittee immediately went to work in
securing subscriptions.
A charter will soon be applied for
and organization will be perfected
Plans call for building a 9-hole course
and the staking out of the site for
an 18-hele course, to be completed
when deemed necessarv. Work will
begin immediately and it is estimated
that approximately $10,000 will be
expended, thereby creating a nice
payroll for the community. A club
house will be erected later.
Subscriptions were received as fol
lows: Park Hill. $2,500; Kentucky
Home Hotel, $2,500; First Bank &
Trust Co.. $500; Citizens National
Bank, $500; Smith, Jackson, Morris
Co., $500; Ewbank, Ewbank & Co.,

All Methodist Churches in County
Expected to Have Representatives
at Sunday's Meeting Here.
The Methodists of Henderson
county will gather at the Henderson
ville Methodist church in mass meet
ing on next Sunday afternoon at 3
o'clock in connection with the cen
tenary movement.
Owing to the inclement weather
last Sunday the meetings at the vari
ous churches did not accomplish what
had been planned but a big mass
meeting is expected Sunday. This
will be of an educational nature. The
district director will be present and
probably other leaders in the move
ment. All church directors and com
mittees are expected to attend, to
gether with any others who may be
interested. Following the mass meet
ing a session of the directors and
committees will be held at the church.
Dr. O. J. Candler, a minister of
noted ability, and Attorney Zeb F.
Curtis of Asheville will be among the
speakers, according to latest reports.
F. E. Durfee is director for Hen
derson county, the Asheville district
being under District Director Frank
Weaver. This is the 100th anniver
sary of the founding of missionary
work by the Methodists and they are
going to celebrate with high aims, it
being the greatest financial under
taking in the history of Methodism.
The whole country has been divided
into districts in order to raise the
thirty-five million dollars expected
from the south.
The allotments for the churches of
this county together with the names
of the persons in charge of their re
spective church campaigns are given
below:
Hendersonville, $17,000, C. F.
Bland; Flat Rock, $1,925, C. P.

A. R. Johnson. -
Pledges will be paid in annual in
stallments covering a period of five
years. The Methodists have an enor
mous undertaking and are entering
into it with the kind of enthusiasm,
that it takes to succeed.
POLITICS WARMING UP
The municipal ticket is now the
main topic of conversation among the .
politicians. Things are shaping up
for the convention within a few days.
Curb-stone philosophers dope it out
that there will be two distinct fac
tions seeking ascendency with Mayor
C. E. Brooks heading a faction com
posed of a ticket of commissioners
taken from the following: F. II.
Kincaid, J. D. Pullin, C. N. WrenshalL
F. A. Ewbank. Report has it that
J. Mack Rhodes will head the oppos
ing faction supported by Raymond
Edwards, Tom Shepherd and John T.
Wilkins for commissioners. The re
publicans are looking on with an in
terested eye in the hope that there
will be sufficient dissatisfaction, un
less the slates are satisfactorily
mixed, to justify the naming of a
republican ticket.
MR. BELL TO ACCEPT
J. O. BelL after being waited upon
by a large delegation Tuesday morn
ing decided to accept the office of
road commissioner to which he was .
recently appointed but declined.
