C, THURSDAY FEBRUARY 13 1913 OLD SERlES--VpL, IT A MY FA HERE I) COMMITTEE HAS BEEN AT WOBK 8J WILL NOW GET -BUSY PBEPABING FOB LARGEST COUNTY FAIR EVER HELD - HIS I'll IBID HID Eury Willing Citizen WU1 Help Hake It a Success. Southern. Railway To Give Yaluable Assistance. That Henderson county will hay e one of the best county fairs shown in Western North Carolina next fall is the consensus of opinions of Jhe lead ing citizens who wilL take an active part in the organization. A meeting of the fair "committee of the Greater Hendersonville club was held in the court house Saturday. T, G. Wood of the Land and Industrial department of the Southern: Railway company spoke to the -committee in reference to the fair. He stated that his company stood ready - to aid in every way possible in .mtfklngthe fair a great success. ; : , It was clearly shown that a fair In this county next, fall will be the most profitable and enterprising event to happen in the community. Not only are the. citizens of the city interested, but many of the farmers, -who have been obliged to send out of the county every year -their., products to show the outside fworld what they are doing, are ready and willing to aid the committee in making a great big county fair for Hendersonville. ; Hendersonville is Ideally, located for such an undertaking and 'with a little effert on the part of all the citizens of the county the fair will be one of the largest attractions pulled off during the year 1913. - .' - No period in the history of the coun ty is better for. the , farmers ;to sho vf their products than thisxyeax-Ihe -whole world, is Joojons .oatiaaswnf. ful South land with; a7 searching eye. Its only a question1 with the dissatisfied westerner, northerner or foreigner as to which . part of the" South to, settle Henderson county, wants more people. They want people who would be inter- ested here on account oi me prouuciB of this community. The only and best way to show the world of the advant ages and accomplishments - here is through a county fair. . Farmers, cattle raisers, merchants, and everybody who is trying to im prove what he has should join in the movement to establish a county fair here, even better than the fairs held in other counties for the past few years. - Mr. Farmer, start right now and plant the best you 'can find. Make one natch of ground your prize winner. Then bring it to town ror the fair and get your reward. Because one neigh bor is worth more money than you, Is no reason why he should have a better exhibit than you. It takes careful at tention and a little hard work to. out class your neighbor in a certain pro duct; but when you do it you have won a distinction worth while. The prizes for Henderson county fair will be substantial. This will in terest many who have never before shown products in a fair. There will be exhibits here from 'every remote parts of the county. Thousands of people will come here who possibly have never been here before and the merchants will profit by the events just as much In proportion as any of the rest. ?1 - - v Those who have suggestions about a county fair will be welcomed as contributors of this paper and . their views will be read with interest by the people of the county Lets hear from ycu. '.. ,' PHONE M65. V No community ever went ahead without men to- push it ahead. Think that over. Your prosperity depends upon the prosperity of this community. Bear that in:raind. If you work T6r Hendersonville you work for yriutfself. Give to that-careful cohsidera tion. ' .v-::- " ' : If you neglect the Town you neglect your own best interests. Now where does your duty lie? Telephone the Secretary, No. 165 ; and he will call for your applica tion for membership in the Great er Hendersonville Club. L.. NOW! NOW! NOW!- Attend the Good Boads Meeting. r A number of the citizens spent Wed nesday in the city, of Asheville vere a good roads meeting was held. The Southern Highway Association meets in Asheville with headquarters at the Langren hotel, one of the finest hotels in the South. Hendersonville people Patronize this hotel more than any of the others on account of the fact that the accommodations are better for the money than any of the other hostel Ties of the city. The Langren. is con ducted on the European plan rat L CERlil THIS MEANS YOU! The call for the organization of the Greater Hendersonville Club came, not as an inspiration but an evolution. . A force like this organization is born, not In response to the will of an individual.' nor the brilliancy of an idea, but because of a vital necessity that is found to exist, sufficiently strong to impel business men to forget competition, to obliterate sectional and political lines, and even forego selfish gain in their desire for its cre ation and development. v The Greater Hendersonville Club, however, asks "only for that support which those identified with the inter ests of Hendersonville and Henderson county care to give. It should have a membershiD of four hundred, and be fore the present campaign is closed it Is confident that that mark will : be reached. The organization has classi fied Its energies: In; two groups: a civic group and a commercial group. In the civic group, the Club: directs its energies toward ' ' An annual -, increase in popula- .-tlon:--. ... ' --.. .. Clean air to breathe; Pure water to drink i Amusements for visitors; ;A sue community, to .visit and in which to dwell; ' A community that plans its public improvements for the future. In the second group the commer cialthe organization carries out the following subjects ' Loyalty to the community's own merchants and .productions; ' ' To organize for conventions; To invite new Industries; To advertise i in every honorable and right manner: ' To be watchful of. state and na m V tloaali legislation, aiding those entrusted with the framing of our laws to make wise laws, not prejudiced to business, but with al, such as will preserve to the ? people at large all of. the rights :vV;andr protection ; which, such a L- ' government: as. ours - promise: - i 1 Inre'e'Things are absolutely essential to the conduct of our organization in order to carry on such work as de scribed: ; The firsts is. numerical strength,. -The second, a sufficieny of rev enue. The third, personal service vice of the members in carrying on the -work. - Revenue will come with numerical strength, but the minimum dues should not represent the limit of finan cial responsibility of our commercial interests; every senior officer, of the marge business houses and each co partner in an enterprise, should hold a membership, purchased by hip concern or by himself Individually. Don't be scanty in yoqrilnancial support. To attain the community's highest usefulness a . commercial association must represent every phase of the community's commercial life. Numer ical strength Is a guaranty of democ racy and an evidence of power. - Our numerical strength and our suf ficiency of revenue will prove of little value without YOU. We are not un mindful that the larger the communi ty, the more difficulty it is for the cit izen to participate in many of the phases of its development, and the more inclined one is to let others do the work. Your money will not offer effective competition to the personal service as represented in? sacrifice of time' and comfort which hundreds and thousands of-men in competing cities are devoting to the work. The energy, the Urain, the loyalty, which these men are contributing to the advance ment of their cities, through their re spective organizations, is worth more than the combined revenues of all the organizations, for the element of sacri fice for the public good is making bur Wetsern North Carolina citizenship strong, generous and self-reliant.

THIS C0U11M miiTo IT Dr. Morse Says That Only Feas&ble Boute Through This County Boute Decision Not Made Yet v V Later news of the proposed Green- ville-Knoxville railroad - which - it is said, will be built by Asa Candler the multi-millionaire "of Atlanta give two routes through W. N. Carolina.' Only one of these routes come by Hender sunville and Asheville. . - - ; Hendersonville wants . the , new road and will put in -& strong claim for it to pass through this county. . The two proposed routes , are the same length. Dr. L. B. Morse who for. several years -was secretary of the Appalachian rail way company of this city and has been all over the mountains where the. twa routes are : survf ed assured a' writer of this paper that the most practical way would ,, be ' through Henderson county. "If you could see what , tre mendous mountains to penetrate and w hat an enormous expense it would take to go - any . other way that come down the Jones lap valley to Hender sonville. you would have no doubt, that if the road is built, it would certainly come by Hendersonville," said Dr. Morse the other day. . . The news of the improvement-has been published in several South Caro- Una papers where the authenic an nouncement was made and a clipping from the Greenville Piedmont of which city the; headquarters of-the:. Green-. ville-Knoxville railroad:, company is, now located r is -as follows : -- : . C I ' The 'Greenville and, Knoxville Rail roaa w4it,De.compietea intQ j&noxyi ue. Work on the ; extension .will beerin be-J' fore the year is out r .-' . Several days ago a report was Tmb lished In a Spartanburg paper to the effect that plans had been virtually completed fo rthe construction of the road. The report was re-printed in The Daily Piedmont for what it was worth. Since the Dublication of the Snartan- I burg report The Daily Piedmont has I Investigated - the , matter fully and has received positive assurances from sat isfactory sources that the road will be completed and the work will start be fore the present year is out Two Boutea Proposed. - Two surveys of the road were com pleted, some -four to six months ago. The results or these have been in in- hcubation. so to speak, since that time. One survey would take the road by Hendersonville. and Asheville. N. C. thence to Canton and on to Knoxville. This route would parallel the South ern for a very considerable distance. The length of the road by this route would be 190 miles. The. other survey would take the Toad by Brevard. N.( C, thence to Can ton and on to Knoxville. The length oi the road this way would be 190 miles. No announcement fias been made as to which of these two remtes are fa vored by the road officials and it is un derstood that no - decision has been reached by them. ' Fifty Miles Already Built ,The railroad running twenty-four miles out of Knoxville. built by W; J. Oliver and known as the Knoxville and Seviersville Railroad, will become a part of the system. At this end of the line the Greenville and Knoxville Railroad has already been built twenty-six - miles. This makes a total of fifty miles of the entire system, leav ing only one hundred and twenty miles to be built if the Brevard-Canton route is chosen or one hundred and' forty of the Asheville route is chosen. Mr. Oliver Is said to be willing. In deed very anxious, to co-operate 'with !he parties who are to complete thr C. & K. and it is regarded as assured that this road will become a link in the system since the G. & K. will go through Seviersville. . , Announcement Definite. Greenville people have , been hoping for many years that this road would be built Several times during he past three or four years, their hopes have risen high only to be dashed later. , : The announcement which The Daily Piedmont is making today is absolute ly correct The paper is in possession of other information which it is not at liberty to disclose at this time, .

Mr. Doughton- entered on' his concluding speech for. the opposition He detailed his objections to the bill which were very, general. sThe oaths required, were especially emphasized and the penalty imposed for violation. The ; stringent provisions would keep very many voters out of their ""pri mary, and deprive them of privilege of party affiliation. - Norith Carolina was not by any means ready for. a pri mary law such as this, this being the case especially in many of the western counties. r He resented the charge that there are bosses and ward heelers in this. State as he believed there are nnnfi. He appealed for the Justice bill . be voted down. . Mrl Justice closed for the bill. He insisted that North Carolina must have a state wide primary law and that his bill was one that would work satisfactorily- "He declared that some Demo cratic leaders are putting themselves in remarkable -positions in supporting Woodrow Wilson and denouncing his Measures one of which is preferential legalized primary for all parties. - Mr, Bowie took him to task about petitions he-had secured for his bill purporting to come from-his county of Ashe, and exhibited, counter petitions to refute the. one that; Justice had presented.

Mr. Kellum' spoke in opposition to the bill, which had been amended so as to only require that railroad companies in this state shall urnish a thousand mile book at 2 cents per mile that families of purchasers may use. This finally passed final reading 45 to 34. The house voted down by a vote of 44 to 34 the Kellum bill to advance the age of consent from 44 to 16 years on the part of a' girl.
