THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 919 PRICE FIVE CENTS "J- f i'; I"'- if ' ' i i I- . $10,000 IW I .i Approximately $100,000 will be -Cgpent by Mrs. A. M. Gover in the building tf a fifty-room brick hotel at the corner of Fifth avenue and Church -street, the work to be started this fall. The new hotel has been leased be lore a shovel of dirt has been moved ikm its site a most admirable one with in a few-feet of Main street yet pos 'tjaessing the environment so essential jtoa hostelry of the first class. - 5V Construction wil begin this fall and :;the building will be ready for occu .pancy during the early summer of 1920. It has been leased from that time until the summer of 1921, when Mrs. Gover will assume the manage ment. There will be twenty-five baths furnishing connections for each of the fifty rooms. There will be running water in each room and the entire huildinir will be steam heated. The inhhv -will be one of the most charm- j ing features in this latest testimonial to Hendersonville's rapid and sub stantial growth. The grounds will be laid out prettily, the plan of the miifHnsr -ovidinK for all outside; rooms with an exposure upon lawns, trees and a fountain of musical waters. There will be rooms especially re served for traveling salesmen the best advertisers of any town anda class of business appreciative of a cordial welcome. "It is pointed out that there is no need of elaborating here upon the enviable reputation al ready achieved by Mrs. Gover, a repu tation, her friends insist, which will but become still more widely known after her new hotel is open to receive guests. NEW At a stockholders' meeting of the Georgia-Military-Naval academy, held Saturday, in the office of Ewbank and Ewbank, officers and directors were elected and plans for the coming sum mer season were discussed. Heridersonville is a resort city al ready famous for.- the character of its schools for both girls and boys. It is believed that the coming of this im portant and most widely known in stitution will aid materially in spreading'- the fame of Hendersonville. There are few more widely known schools of its class than the Georgia Military-Naval academy. Its present enrollment is 350. Highland Lake has been leased by the c r&pany and the summer encamp ment Hf the school will begin about the end of May. The regular term be gins in September. It is pointed out K that the property acquired is most de ;i isirable in every way. Its; beauty and ihe character of its improvements" arc i too well known to require elabora SCHOOL HERE TO OPEN EARLY IN MAY te , ! ion. . : Col J. C. Woodward was. elected ' president and treasurer of , the com ii pany and Major B. A. Tolbert, secre k tary. Both are from Atlanta. The directors are: Col. J. C. Woodward, 1 1 Major B. A.

There is scant virtue in merely keeping within the law. "The fear o'hell's a hangman's whip. To haud the wretch in order: -But where you feel your honor grip, Let that aye be your border." In the call to buy Victory Bonds honor grips nard. To achieve the victory we pledged our lives, our property, and our sacred honor. The pledge of life has been fully redeemed. The blood cost of victory was paid with solemn pride. To fail or falter in meeting the money cost would immediately brand us with infamy and ultimately mar us for destruction. Our sac-rcq honor drives us to offer oar prop erty as feely as our soldiers offer- ed their lives. They 'ioufcht a good fight." We must "keep the faith" or wither in fires of self " , contempt. The Imperial German Govern ment asserted that a solemn ob- ligation was but a scrap of paper, and that government has Icen consigned to the scrap-heap of civilization. "God is not mociied," and this nation will surely be come as Nineveh and Tyre if we keep back the price of our redemp tion. No nation can survive that advertises to the world that it holds money dearer than man hood, that while it was willing . to sacrifice .the only son it can not spare the firstlings of ... the flocks. I beseech all ministers of the Gospel and all men and women of every class and condition who have faith in the final perseverance of moral values to enlist in the - great Victory Campaign, to the end that our national honor . may be redeemed and our destiny se cured. Done at our City of Raleigh, this the 3rd day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and nineteen, and in the one hundred and forty-third year .of our American Indepen dence." T. W. BICKETT, Governor By the Governor: SANTFORD MARTIN, Private Secretary. BIDS FOR SCHOOL HOUSES On the first Monday in May the pounty board of education will receive bids for the construction of two new school buildings representing the expenditure of several thousands or dollars and indicating. Superintend eut Shitle declares, the substantial inter est being taken in educational affairs by the people of Henderson county. Plans and specifications are on file in the office of the county superinten dent for a two-room building to be erected at Tracey's Grove, which re cently carried a special election for the necessary money with only four votesbeing cast against the proposi tion. The other new building is to be a one-room structure at Double Springs in Green River district. Out of - seven school districts in Green River township five have al ready voted special taxes for schools. In Crab Creek township every one o? the six school districts is. a local tax district or 100 percent, as the coun ty superintendent says. 100th ANNIVERSARY Tuesday, April 29th at 8:30 p.' m., the Odd Fellows of Hendersonville will celebrate the one hundreth anni versary at the I. OvO. F. Hall. . All Odd Fellows, ancient Odd Fel lows and Rebecahs are invited. The meeting will be the most interesting anniversary ever held. A good pro gram has been arranged and refresh ments will be served after the .meet ing. ' ' ' ' ' ' Miss Laura Davis, of Charleston, S. C, who spent last summer with Miss Mamie Burckmyer has come to be with her again this summer. T0PLA i' NEW WITHIN YEAR Hendersonville's first golf course will be ready for play by April 1st of next year, it was decided at a stock holders' meeting of the golf company held here Friday night, when officers and directors were elected nttd the contract awarded for tho building of an absolutely first class comae. Work is to commence at once. . It was the sense of the meeting that the .building of the long-anticipated golf course would mean much m placing Hendersonville where it be longs in the front rank of American resorts. - R. A. Leonard, the well known en gineer, was awarded the contract. Mr. Leonard declared the location an ideal one. The course will1 consist of eighteen holes, nine to be ready for play by next April.- The grounds are three miles from Hendersonville,, with a frontage of 1200 feet on the Southern railway and with an extensive frontage On the Hendersonville highway and close to the Hillgirt station. The transpor tation facilities are ideals The grounds will be open to the public with special privileges to none. A club will be organized later, it is saidJ It will be recalled that two months ago the Stoney Mountain company offered the Hendersonville Board or Trade 112 acres of land fo? $7,500 with a cash subscription of 3,000 if the citizens of the town would sub scribe $10,000 stock in the proposed golf course company. The offer was quickly accepted and the stock as quickly subscribed. . - The officers ' and directors electee were as follows: Clarence Lathams president; R. H: Staton, vice-president; E. G. . Still well,' secretary; Dr. A. C. Tebeau, treasurer; Clarence Latham, V. A. Smith, E. W Ewbank,. R. H. Staton, Mrs. M, A. Brown, J. C. Wooten, R. .P. Freeze, J. F. Justice, A. C. Te beau. PRESS WAS IN A HURRY One of the most interesting sights on Main street yesterday was Press Lane beating it down Main street with a perfectly good ten dollar bill in his outstretched hand. Mr. Lane was in a hurry and didn't want to stop and talk about the peace conference or the war or the high price of 'most everything or anything. "They paid me ten dollars too much at the bank," he said in passing, "and I'm hurrying to get it back to them before they close." And he was gone. COUNTY IN GOOD SHAPE "Henderson county is in bettor shape today than it has ever been," said Mayor C. E. Erooks, Saturday, the first -i ay. he Had been out aft3r a recent illness. "The county has bought abort a million dollars worth of bonds and war . savings stamps," continued the mayor, "and will do all that it is pected to do in the present campaign. The bank deposits here are about $300,000 more today than they wore two years ago and the farmers ars be ginning to get acquainted wttn ical prosperity. Everyone here rhougiw that the flood of 1916 was a' calamity from which it would take many years to recover. As a matter of fact the flood made the farmers get; down to business and, as I say, they are in better shape today .than they have ever been." ' . ' v DUSTER BROWN AND TIGE HERE Buster Brown himself and his faith ful dog-Tige were in the city Monday. They held, forth on a platform in front of E. Lewis Son, where the enthusiastic crowd watching Tige smoke a pipe and cigarette almosi blocked the street. Buster Brown and his ' dog only make the more important places with: their show and this is the first time they have ever appeared in this city. YffiFlFlIsfHEJ08l LINKS IS CRY HERE IN! YLOAN "The job is finished now let's pay Tot it!" That seems to be the way this ciiy and county feels about the Victory Loan campaign, which started ou Monday and which under the direc tion of Chairman E. W.f Ewbank a' d his able associates will come to an entirely successful end on May 10. Hendersonville and Henderson county will both go over the top in the' fifth and last loan campaign of the Greatest War, competent "authori ties here say. . They declare that boys from this ciiy ana town went through with their part of the job, and that ma ivy of them went through hejl in doins it. Now it's up to the men and the wo men they left at borne to go thr ntfrJi with their part ff the work, it is era phasized. These boys helped save these man and women from personal and inti mate acquaintance with the Huns the baby killers and the violaters of women and the; crucifiers of men who have given a new and more dreadful meaning to the word War. Now many of these soldiers of free dom are back home in Hendersonville and Henderson county some of them with pictures in their minds they are slow to speak of, that they want to forget; and they say their job is dni3h ed and must now be paid for. In the war between the states, North Carolina was the first at Bethel, the furtlierst at Gettysburg, he last at Appomattox, and placed more men in the field than . did any other state. In the Greatest War, a Yestern North Carolina man was the first sol dier to set foot on the soil of France. And North Carolina soldiers were the first to break through the well known Hindenburg line. So are the glorious traditions of the Old North State maintained by the newer generation, and so, it is insist ed here, will these traditions be main tained by the people who have most largely profited by the sacrifices and the suffering and the devotion or North Carolina men. But quite aside from all this, anrl believing it quite needless to do so, Hendersonville bankers call attention to the iron-clad security offered by ths government in exchange for the peo pie's money. They emphasize the ab solutely gilt-edged character of tnar security the best on earth, they de lafe. After the war between the tate-s government bonds dropped to So an3 less. Later they commanded a prem ium that made their owners the ea vied of all. Bankers here and elsewhere insist that is just what will happen this time only more of it! Business men are backing the Vic tory loan to the limit as a gUno at the advertising columns of this news paper wil show. And they are proving tut ir faith by their works in other words they aie buying what they beiieva is the best investment on this gre-3U earth. They will buy to tlioir limit, li y w&nt to pay, as honnu' Ie men. for tit job their boys havJ helped toj fi-ish so finely. They intend staying.) with thorn to the very last. Those in charge of the Viefoiy Loan here believe this city ind coun ty,, in common with the nation, faces; a period of prosperity unparalelled. There is Jiut one more , obstacle to overcome', but one more bridge to crossthe payment of the ar debts. This isjthe purpose of the Victory Loan. If the banks have ro 'shoulder the burden there will be no money to loan private individuals and prosper ity will take a back' seat and go to sleep. .. ' It may take some sacrifice now; some scrimping and saving to do your part. But in the days to corns you'll be glad you did your duty to yourself and your country glad yon put ybur money in the safest invest ment in the world glad you helped pay for the job after your boys help ed to finish it. iatr T AT rn x t -w-t t . w ; X J2i UL JJ UU u N T Y OF mmmxmn Easter Sunday in Henderson county was welcomed with a radiant sky the blue of a baby's eyes, say, with -Miss Spring arrayed in hues of pink and white and yellow and green all so delicate as to be quite indescribable. The churches, both in town and country, were filled, and the music and the sermons were in glorification of the Risen One. Easter' attire. r.- tempting to rival somewhat the flc quent effort of Miss Spring, was plainly visible in the country roaJs no less than in Main street, and the blue, misty mountains looked down approvingly on a world at peace- the first peaceful Easter Sunday in mauy years. All out-'d-doors worshippAd no less than those in the churches of .God. Apple rees were at th-5 apex of their pink-and:white lea.iv, with honey bees swarming musically through their branches. Perfumed li lacs in royal purple were out and the dogwoods showed white on the hill side. The emerald carpet was splen didly patterned with white and blue wild flowers, with golde.i dandelions clamoring for appreciation, too. The birds, of course, furnished the special Easter music with red birJs,,.p-rhap, as soloists, and mock birds i -i'lorus all to themselves. . The -.ind bur murmured in the pine tops while the sunshine and clouds played their old game of hide-and-seek. It was all a most wonderful harmony, teliivg cr nature's adoration of the Risen Christ. Perhaps other places had silica a a Easter Sunday, too perhaps they did. But it is not likely, you know. The Kentucky Home to Have A Big Addition An addition of forty rooms, eacn room with bath, will be made to the Kentucky Home this fall, said J. C. Wooten, yesterday. "We are doing a capacity business,' said Mr. Wooten, "and our own inter est as well as that of the city impells us to make this additional investment here. Plans will be drawn shortiy for the improvement and acording to our present intentions the work will be started this fall." Mr. Wooten this week purchased the Carolina Terrace from Howell Cobb, paying therefor the sum of $50,0C0. He believes that-Hendersonville has a manifest destiny, and that destiny is to become one of -the first resorts in this ocuntry. . CHAIN GANG TO MOVE The chain gang, now in Hooper's Creek township, will be taken off that work on May 1, when they will start improving the roads already built, C. N. Allison, chairman of the road trustees, says. "And they will be kept on the job until every mile of improved highway in the county is in absolutely first class condition," declared the able chairman. -The gang will be taken eff their present work on May 1." Tt is nointed out that .good roads , men now fully realize the importance of properly maintaining a road once it is built, and this is the idea back of both the. Federal and State aid schemes. Henderson county is al" ready noted for its excellent sanfi clay highways, which has been an im portant factor in this city's vastly in creased tourist business, business men here say.; SUNDAY CROWD AT MOVIES The first Sunday movie ever in Hen dersonville was shown last Sunday an official government picture of ac tual events named "The Price of Peace." 'The picture was a part of the Liberty Loan campaign now in pro gress. There were two showings and the Queen Theatre was quite In capable of caring for all those who wanted to see the stirring film.- ' f' I THE CAROLINA TERRACE SOLD FOR $50,000 . The steadily increasing activity in real estate here was marked this week by the sale of the Carolina Terrace, owned by Howell Cobb, to J. c. Wooten, owner of the Kentucky Home, for $50,000. The deal was closed by Staton & Rector, real es tate brokers. The Carolina Terrace is one of the best known; as it is one of the most beautifully situated hotels anywhere in the south. Facing on Main street with a splendidly wooded lawn run ning to the street, it has every feature desirable in a resort hotel. After Mr. Cobb purchased the property he ex pended, it is said, $25,000 on improve ments, when the entire building was practically remodeled. These im provements were of the most sub stantial character and placed the Carolina Terrace in the front rank of Western North Carolina hotels. There are about 120 rooms in the' building, of which number 70 have private baths. All the rooms have outside exposure, and all face on green sward wooded with many an cient trees. The hotel is steam heat ed, with great wide verandahs invit ing rest. Mr. Wooten says that the Carolina Terrace and the Kentucky Home will remain under the same management which-has conducted the latter hotel during the past three years. : " During his residence in Henderson ville Mr. Wooten and his associates have become firmly identified with the best interests of the town. The fame of this resort has spread by the hos pitality and good fare of the Ken tucky Home, and his additional In vestments would indicate that he has nothing but good opinions as to the future of the prettiest town anywhere. THE HUN MACHINE GUN The Hun machine gun, its murde rous work done, rested on a prosiac barrel in frpnt of the Hendersonville Hardware company on. Main street, and Saturday was closely inspected by hundreds. Around the barrel which was its platform were twined belts of sharp-pointed cartridges. The ugly thing was picked up by Sergt. Pender of Capt. R. V. Ladd's com pany the old Sixth and brought to Hendersonville by Albert Edwarfls, another member of the company. It was found on a scarlet-colored field, . near Pannes, during the historic St. Mihiel offensive. . Capt. Ladd is still in France. Al together there were about twenty Henderson county boys in his com pany, and after looking over that ma chine gun, to sonle people these twen ty boys represent twenty thousand reasons why they should buy Victory loan bonds and so help pay for the job they so finely finished. ROAD LOCATION NOT DECIDED The location of the proposed im proved road between here and Bre vard was considered, but not decided, at the Saturday meeting of the Hen derson county road trustees and Transylvania county commissioners. The road will be improved under the new state aid law and petitions urg ing certain locations were presented. The meeting was atended by C.'N. 'Allison, J; O. Bell, John' Albert Max- .well, Henderson county road trustees, and County Commissioners Glazener and Shipman of Transylvania. Cn Thursday last there was an im portant get-together;? meeting ; of road authorities arfd interested peo ple of the western counties, held at' the court house here. J a me u. Stikeleather, newly appointed ; mom ber of the State highway commfsVon preside. Delegations wore present from Transylvania, Polk, Buncombe : and Henderson counties. No action , was taken 'at the meetr ing but there was a general exchange of opinions as to Western N'o:1M Caro lina good roads need.' which will bear trait later, it was declarv i. - I
