Sfnnr ..Mountain Into Ponnlnr IMph Residential Park. (From The NEWS) Stony Mountafn all that its name implies and named away back 'Yonder when things were named by reason ofH me ayprupnaieness oi a name. Stnnv rntmtnin Cnm-nr, -., ' longer name and one that implies en terprise and development. , Then a stony barren waste S00 feet above Hendersonville. In years to come a mecca for those who wish a mountain drive by automo bile within easy access of the city a great pleasure and residential park with an observation point from which can be viewed most advantageously the great handiwork with which the Crea tor so lavishly dealt with this favored section. Visitors come to Hendersonville. They look around with a view to lo cation for a home. They do not espe cially desire the city life. They have a machine. They can come to town when they wish. They like the open. They prefer the mountain tops. They want a good road to their doors. This is the conception that led to the Stony Mountain development. Yes, develop ment that has alreacry cost many thou sands of dollars. The Stony Mountain Company has not been blowing any big horns. It has not asked any one to toot i'rr it. But tooting time has come as will be seen by the announcement elsewhere in this paper. Some advertising must be done in order to announce the com pany's plans. The Stony-Mountain Company res organized last spring and since its. or ganization has built a splendid read iioni the Asheville-Hendersonville road to the top of the mountain. This bus cost a small fortune. Vv'Iiat was the object? Where the wisdom of the invest meni" - - . This remains 'to be seen. But here are some of the plans of the company. This section is rapidly growing-. People are coming from many states to invest in homes. Some want coun try life, some want city life, some want to live away up in the breezes where they can look down upon a beautiful country. It is those who do not want to build in the city that the company hopes to interest. They will have op portunity of a desirable site on the main Asheville highway, on the moun tain top or at any point on the three and one-quarter miles of scenic high way that leads from the main road to an elevation of S00 feet, 'the top of Stony, which affords one of the most charming panoramic views in Western Carolina. Stony has not the disadvan tage of Mitchell and Pjsgah. It af fords a sweeping view in all direc tions and the beauty of this Hender sonville plateau- cannot be properiy appreciated until one stands on Stoiry and gazes on every side at the gradual incline from the beautiful valleys be low, hill, heaped upon hill, mountain upon mountain until they are seen tc pierce the sky and become screened with variations of sunlight, shadows and stormy clouds. "ho Stony Mountain Company has, just completed the road to the top of of the mountain. It is a d-ianee of tinea and c lie-quarter miles. TI: . load turns cfi near- Killgirt. It is a gradual incline, not exceeding at any Point a four and one-half per cent grade. It winds and winds and winds pnri nvpt vr,-, ;ee n ynllev below, then public roads ieafiing here and yonder, railroad, and farms and you keep on winding until you gaze upon thc French Broad and Mills River valleys and look beyond them and admire Plr; galfs lofty height with its great fam ily of smaller mountains. You over look Hendersonville and appreciate the beautiful plateau and you loo": and look and look in all direction)!:, nothing in the world to obscure your vision, then you decide that Stony af fords a view hard to excel anywhere in Western North Carolina. The top of the mountain will lend it self to mangnificent development. A nice plot of ground has been reserved ly the company on the very top for development purposes observation tower, park, play grounds, hotel, etc., whatever the development and the pop ularity of Stony necessitates. The entrance to the grounds from the Ar.heville road about three miles from Hendersonville will be beauti fied, a triangle will be formed by twe entrances. This will lend itself to beautification, a parking ground vith a fountain spouting water high into the air, shade trees and other things to make it look inviting. The company owns 450 acres . of Stony Mountain land and its desir ableness for residential sites will be extensively advertised to the world The advertising campaign has begun and it begins at home by calling for expressions from the home people, as will be seen by its announcement else where in this paper. The Stony Mountain development is a big undertaking and within a few years should become one of the most valuable assets of this community, for certainly it should appeal to homeseekers. It is in easy access of Hendersonville and touches the Moun tain Hqme development by Florida capital, and doubtless will become a popular plaee. The new road is open . I FiIAP SHOWING STANDING OF COUNTIES The War Savings record of the 100 counties In North Carolina as in dicated on the accompanying map hows that nineteen counties have ubscrlbed 100 per cent and over of their War Savings allotment. Six counties have subscribed from 90 to 100 per cent, twenty-nine from 75 to 90 per cent, twenty-seven from 50 to 75 per cent, while nineteen have sub- ! scribed less than 50 per cent of their quotas. The counties that have subscribed their entire allotment which, are black on the Map, are Anson, Chowan, Ca barrus, Edgecombe, Forsyth, Franklin, Gates, Greene, Henderson, Iredell, J Jones, Leccir, Martin, Mecklenburg, I Nash, Perquimans, Pitt, Union and Wilson, The. six that have subscribed over 90-;, percent of their allotment, which are cross-checked on the map, are Bertie, Beaufort, Guilford, .Jack son, Northampton, and Onslow. The nineteen counties that pledged less than 50 per cent, which are left white on.the map, are Ashe, Bladen, Bruns aassti- and there is no objection to its use. It will soon be sanded or given a coat of gravel and will be a fine piece of road work. It affords a most beau tiful drive and the company instead of closing the road will keep it open and invites people to use it to their de light. The road was surveyed by George Kershaw and W. J. Turner was en trusted- with the construction. In Ed Ward he found a most reliable helper and the road is a monument to the en gineer, builders and those who fur nished the capital. The Stony Mountain Company is composed of the following: Dr. A. , C. Tebeau, president. Irs. R. M. Oates, vice-president. J. Foy Justice, secretary. HERD OF BUFFALOES WILL BE SENT TO PISGAH PRESERVE. Announcement is made by Edward Seymour, president of the American Bison society, to the forestry officials here that Ausiin Corbin of Xew Hamp shire has given six buffaloes for the Pisgah forest game preserve. The buffaloes will probably be ready for shipment in the early spring and will be added to the large herd of elk now in the preserve. The elk herd includes two bulls, seven cows, and two calves. It is the plan of the government to eventually make Pisgah forest one of its largest preserves for wild game animals. The government now lias about" 500 acres tf land fenced in for the pas ture of animals and the herd of buf faloes will be placed in this pasture. The government had planned to send some buffaloes to this preserve some time ago but these plans were inter rupted by the outbreak of the war, transportation facilities being such that they could make no effort to in crease the number or variety of the animals there. Tinrinlnh Diofenbach ha3 been sen: nere uy mc guvouimrm. u,o omoow to Verne Rhoades to be in charge of the Pisgah National forest and Game preserve. He is a graduate of the old Biltmore Forestry school and for th? past five years has been stationed In the west. His office will be in the Drhumor building. Asheville Times. MISSIONARY MEETING.

To November 1, iit had sold $19,606,727, leaving $20,059, 653 yet to be sold. The task of the State is to redeem all outstanding War Savings pledges by December 31 and to secure additional sales to complete the State's quota, which amount is $11,500,000. ' r The week of November 28-Decenf-ber 6 has been set apart for a com plete War Savings Victory drive. Dur ing this week the citizens of the state will be called on to make the War. Savings Campaign a complete success and thereby give the State a 100 per cent war-record. Every per POSSIBILITIES FIGHT "FLU" WITH SUNSHINE Report of Remarkable Results Obtain ed in Sunshine and Open Air Treat ment of inliuenza and Pneumonia. Dear Doctor: The State Board of Health is firmly convinced that in the sunshine and climate of North Carolina we have the most efficient possible method of com bating the epidemic of influenza and influenza-pneumonia that is now cost ing the lives of so many of our citi zens. We unreservedly commend for your use, and for the use of the peo ple generally, the sunshine and open air treatment for both influenza and Influenzapneumonia. This conclusion is based upon the experience of the State of Massachu setts, where the disease originated in this country and which State was hardest hit prior to the sweep of the epidemic over North Carolina. The experience of Massachusetts demon strates that the death rate from influenza-pneumonia treated under estab lished hospital conditions was forty per cent., whereas cases given the sunshine and open air treatment showed a death rate of less than thir teen per cent. The method of treatment is simple, and is just what is indicated. Pa tients are cared for in tents, in airy wooden shacks constructed for the purpose, or on porches or in the yards of homes. During the daylight hours, which at this season in North Caro lina means at least ten hours each day, the patients. can be taken right out into the open," being given full ex posure to sunlight and air. Patients whose temperatures ran from 102 to 104 degrees during the period of treat ment in indoor hospitals returned to normal i:i a few hours after being re moved into the open air. Itesoir i'.ioft and pulse rate also showed remark able improvement. APPLE SHOW CANCELED The Western North Carolina Apple Show, to be held at Asheville, Novem ber 20-22, will not take place this year because of the epidemic of influenza. The replies to a circular letter sent to the growers by Assistant Horticul turist Matthews, show that very few growers are in a position to come or send an exhibit, because of the epi demic and of the shortage cf labor. Many growers, who had planned to ex hibit, have' had their working force so inuch reduced that it is impossible fo them to prepare suitable exhibits. In vievr of these fact3, and the fact that the epidemic is not subsiding rapidly, it was thought best by the agricultural authorities to call off the apple show this year.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS tOEAt CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. War- Savings Stamps make Ideal Christmas presents. There are sev eral reasons why people should give Thrift and1 War Savings Stamps as presents at Christmas instead of the usual valueless gewgaws and trinkets. EPISCOPAL SERVICES. The Thanksgiving Day services at St. James church are appointed for 7:30 and 10 o'clock. The customary decorations may be left at the rectory at any time not later than Tuesday evening. KING SMASHES PRECEDENT. London, Nov. 19. Another precedent went the way of other precedents to day, when King George, accompanied by Queen Mary and the Prince of Wales went to the palace at Westmin ister to receive and reply to rue loyal ty address passed by the houses of parliament yesterday. Heretofore it had been the custom of the parliament to go to the king on such occasion. The royal party drove to the palaoe a: Westminister without escort and was loudly cheered along the roate. Arriving at Westminster, th3 royal party went immediately co-the jraj'ery of the House of Lords. The Lord Chancellor and the speaker of the house ,of commons presented the-ad- dresses. King George, after expressing bis thanks, in a speech alluded to the part played by the whole empire in "the long and terrible struggle now be ing brought to a close." ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS. Let Us Take the World for Christ Brother J. Frank JLigon ,that intre pid soldier for Christ, has accepted the call of the Presbyterians and will begin his service December 1.

It was said that Alexander the Great, after conquering the known "orld. sat down and cried because he did not have another world to conquer, juiius Caesar was put to death be cause he had won i6o many battles and had become too popular with the people. Napoleon, after dazzling the world, spent his last days on the little island of St. Helena, far. away from family and friend. What about the ex Kaiser? It seems that international law would 'protect him and allow l.-im to remain in a neutral country as a rale, but the situation might be slight ly changed. There are true' bills against him in England for brutal murder and one in our own Texas: It seems that a murderer may be releas ed by a neutral country and returned for trial. In this Cvent, when Eng land has finished with him it is hoped that his remains, if there be any, may be sent to Texas" for" final disposition. Morganton News-Herald. ti 'iitoxfe.M ! A War Savings Stamp is a patriotic gift. It is not to be prized only foT its value but for the patriotic spirit in which it was bought and given. The giving of stamps does not require the labor and material so greatly needed by the Government at this time. Furthermore, giving stamps saves the usual rush that makes Christmas a burden instead of a joy ous occasion. This year stamps are the most patriotic gift. Buy them and help put your State over the top in the War Savings Campaign. Today North Carolina . lacks $11, 500,000 having her War Savings quota subscribed. If every North Carolinian who is able to .do so would buy at least one War Savings Stamp as a' Christmas present either for himself or some other member of his fam--ily, x-and Vculd? do tHt-flaadQltida thr" what he has already bought or pledged to buy, the amount realized would be sufficient to complete what the State lacks in having its War Savings allot ment. Therefore, it behooves every patriotic citizen of North Carolina to be patriotic and buy War Savings Stamps for Christmas presents. SUGAR BEETS G. H, Valentine has raised in his garden in Hendersonville a number of sugar beets, as an experiment. One of them is on display in the win dow of the First Bank & Trust Com pany, and weighs twenty pounds. Mr. Valentine has arranged with the De partment of Agriculture at Washing ton to have several of the beets test ed to asceretain the per centage of sugar, with a view of finding out if sugar beets would be a paying crop here commercially for the manufac turer of sugar. In any event,, it is said that the sugar beets make ex cellent stock feedj and the produc tion per acre is enormous. APPROACHING GERMANY With the American Army of Occu pation Nov. 19. Well into Belgium and within a few hours' march or the German frontier on the south, Major General Dickman's army gathered k.'; elf today for another jump into evac uated territory. i 'i he line was. unchanged. In accord jance with plans, the march has been halted for a short time, while the hea vier artillery, supply service and oth er elements can be brought up. How ever, General Dickman's headquarters were moved on to Longuyon tonight and corps and division commanders made similar advances. As the Germans withdraw, the con centration of the army of occupation is increased and not for a moment has vigilance been relaxed. ihe second day of the advance serv ed to confirm the belief at the Am Cri mean headquarters, however, .that there was no thought of treachery m the minds of the German general staff and that the terms of the armistice will be faithfully carried due.

Bomar) The progress of the campaign for $1,000,000 from the Baptists in North Carolina for colleges and schools is remarkably encouraging, in spite of the influenza, which has prohibited public gatherings, the campaign, has gone on. Wherever public gatherings have been possible the success has been notable. At ,Mars Hill, last Sunday, the peo ple of the church and community started out to raise the apportionment of $4,500, but in one day went $10,500! Under the leadership of Rev. A. I. Jus tice every church in this county at all accessible, has been reached, and in every case but one the apportionment is doubled! Fruitland raised $2,000 instead of the apportionment of $1,000; Mt. Gi lead nearly $400; Salem over $200; French Broad $150; Tuxedo $2000, Bal four, Shaw's Creek and other churches are each making a quiet but succcess ful canvass. . The First Church, Hendersonville, has a large committee which will per fect plans for canvassing the church for its apportionment. Already, before any canvass, subscriptions have come in amounting to nearly $1,500; of this amount one member of the committee pledges $500 and two ladies in one home give $350. Last Sunday Hon. J. C. Pritchard made a highly helpful address oh the campaign, to a good audience in the First Baptist church. Ir. J. Foy Jus tice is chairman of the committee in this church The committee, which consists of fifty men and women met Wednesday, Nov. 20, after prayer meeting. It is hoped that plans will be perfected for a canvass very soon. The pastor of:the, Fjrst Baptist , church "fi3 " arranged ' tiave Dr, well, of AsHeville himself :a Fruitland "boy" next Sunday morning. Let everybody hear him. "Look up and lend a h ind." MEANING OF MILLION IHUYE BY THE BAPTISTS OF N. C. Raleigh, 'Nov. 20. The approaching session of the Baptist State conven tion at Greensboro, Dec. 3-6, gives promise of being the most notable one in the long list of its 88 annual ses sions. The convention will face the many and multiform problems growing out of our new relationships to the1 world, chief among which will be that of training leaders, to help shapethe civilization of the future. The educa tional question, therefore, will occupy the center of the stage at this session, one whole day, in the middle of thfe convention, being devoted exclusively to a discussion of its various phases. It is expected that the Million Dol lar campaign for. the Baptist schools in the State, which was projected a year ago at its session in Durham, will be -brought to a successful conclusion at this time. However, on account of the continued distressing conditions in some sections of the State brought 'about by the influenza epidemic, it may be necessary to extend the time, limit for a short period until the churches can resume their regular work. The intensive drive scheduled for October and November in all the Bap tist churches of the State for the mil 'Mci dollar fund has been greatly handicapped by reason of the unparal leled conditions. However, from the 'mountains to the sea most encourag ing reports are daily coining to the central office. In every case where any thing like a thorough canvass has been made, the churches have vgone over tbo top" with an increase of from 50 to 100 per cent over their allotment. WALTER M.'GILMORE. Publicity Director. UNITED WAR WORKERS ASKED TO REPORT DDIEBiATELY. I Final report of the result of the ! United War Work campaign in Hen 4 derson county has not been made for ; the reason that the workers have not turned in their detailed reports.

The correspondent, who went to Brussels Friday, returned here to night. In Brussels he received a great ovation from the inhabitants, which was somewhat embarrassing as desul tory rifle and machine gun firing was still going on.
