Two things are gratifying about this year's student body; a good num ber of the boys who left to enter their country's service in time of war have returned to fit themselves to serve this same country in "The New Day" of peace; and most of the students are from the mountains of Western North Carolina and South Carolina, j Truly Fruitland is an Apostle of Light, honored in her own country. Special features of the opening were two addresses by Rev. H. H. Mc Millian, who is visiting his Homeland after six years service as a missionary to China. He is a former principal of the school and was received and heard by a large number of friends with no little joy and appreciation. Dr. A. E. Brown, Superintendent of Southern Baptist Mountain Mission Schools, was present and made an in teresting but short talk. Rev. A. I. Justice, founder -and life-friend of the institute, presiff at the real opening exercises. Artu things Mr. fact Justice called - the that Fruitland is no' beginning tne twenty-first year of her work. Several other friends made short talks on ap propriate subjects. -:g4ig In many ways Fruitnand Institute has had a unique career.,. She does not advertise, but is always filled with students. Until recently her equip ment has been almost crude, and now it is meager, considering the oppor tunities for larger service, but her sons and daughters have, for the most part, gone out to fill places of great usefulness. Largely the teachers who have served in the school, and es pecially those in charge of its manage me., have been among the very best of educators, though the school has been unable to pay them more than a bare living. With the awaicening or the masses to a better appreciation of the neces- . . - aftv for Christian .Education, the Bap tist Seventy-five Million Dollar Cam paign, and a growing local interest in her welfare, it would be risky to ven ture a prediction of the growth oi Fruitland Institute in the immediate future.

NECESSITATING SCHOOL BOND ELECTION. bcnooi i city tail Call To URGENT APPEAL SENT TO VOTERS OF HENDERSONVILLE- 'ASKING SUPPORT OF $30,000 SCHOOL BOND ELECTION ON SEPT EM BEIi 23 Following is the appeal of the city commissioners and the school trustees issued in letter form to the voters of Hendersonville Just one month from today, or on Tuesday, September 23rd, there will be held in Hendersonville a bond election for $30,000.00 to buy, remodel and equip the Noterman property of about seven acres on North Main Street for High School purposes, S23.500.00 to purchase the property and 6,500.00 to remodel and equip the same. We deem it of sufficient importance to the welfare of our City to call your especial attention to the election and to urge you to be here and to vote for this bond issue. The legislature'bf 1919 enacted a Compul sory School attendance law whereby every child between the age of S and 14 years must attend school for the totaK school term, which in Hender sonville is 9 months. A welfare offi cer has been appointed to enforce school attendance and we are com pelled as the recent school census shows, to provide for at least 200 more pupils than have ever attended school. Our present equipment was barely sufficient for the attendance last year and we have we believe The Story Told By Subscripion Label Two Lists Are Combined And Sub scribers Are Requested to Assist in Correcting Possible Errors. The subscription lists of The News and The Hustler have been combined. Explanation is made of the process in order tliat sub scribers may understand and promptly assist in correcting any errors made. For example, say Bill Smith was a subscriber for both papers If Bill Smith had paid for both papers until January 1, 1920, he would hereafter receive one pa per instead of two but. instead of receiving it until January 1 he would receive it for five- more months, or until June 1, 1919, the total of the time subscribed for on both papers. If Bill Smith was in arrears on The News and paid in advance The Hustler he will be sent a bill for the amount due The News and his subscrip tion date on .The Hustler will re main unchanged. If he was m arrears with both papers he will receive one paper and bill will be sent, him for the1 amount due on both papers. There were recently many re newals of subscriptions rmd fear ing errors were made ..uIkjci i bers are requested, to observe their subscription label and i- . incorrect credit has been givn they should notify this paper at once so that proper credit may be given. The subscript"on la'el is a standing receipt from week to week, giving thei time to which subscription is paid. If it reads 1-1-20 or Jan. 1-20 ' it denotes that subscription is paid until the first month in the year, ihe first day of the month, and tne last numerals denote the year. 18 meaning 1918. 19, ' means 1919. 20, meaning 1930, etc. Statements will soon.be -ent stating amount, due on jubcrin tion. The list will be worked up to a paid in advance basis and 'SI. 50 a year will be charged for the subscription. Subscribers are requested to give ittentlon and make payment without the necessity of statements under first class postage and In case of errors, notify the office promptly. rusiees IT iers issue acted wisely in selecting the Noter man property as it is centrally locat ed, accessible and large enough to provide for our needs as a school for all time to come. We relieve that you will agree with us that it is our paramount dutv to make it possible for every child, no matter how humble his circumstances to receive a good education. The ! course of study as planned for the coming school term is the most com prehensive that we have ever attempt ed and we are counting on your vote to enable us to carry on the work for the up-building of our City and for the uplift of the future 'generations.

The required examination of teachers will be made at the first meeting of; teachers. SACRED CONCERT ENJOYED The only feature to be regretted about the sacred concert at the Meth odist church Sunday night was the in ability to accommodate those " who i wished to " enjoy this fine musical treat. It did not take the crowd long j to fill the church and it is under stood that a largo number could not jgain admittance. Some enjoyed the ! concert from the outside .

Citizens GARVIN INJECTS PfP IN COMMUNITY FAIRS "If It's Good Take it to The Fair" is The Slogan; Outlines Plan of Creat ing' Community Fairs. (By Victor J. Garvin) "Pep" is the outward expression or stored up or reserve energy, enthu siasm and optimism. It is the great lubricant which oils the wheels of the -social, commercial and iflnanciai world. It is, wherever found the certain symbol of PROGRESS. Wherever you find men and women who are doing things, really accom plishing something in this Old -World, there you find "Pep." So it is "Pep" which we need in our efforts to organize and conduct the various Community Fairs which we have outlined for this year in HEN DERSON COUNTY. It Is "Pep" which will be the deciding factor between success and' failure in each and every case. ' Would that every person in every community might have a co pious sunply of "Pep." It takes '"'Pep' and lots of it to make a success of the Community Fair, just as it takes "Pep" and lots of it to make a success of any business enterprise. And after all, a Community Fair is not so much different from any other business en terprise. Of course it is not held for the purpose of making a profit for those engaged, but at the same timo it is desirable to have it, in so far as ;s possible, pay expenses. Just a word to those in each Com munity where a Fair will be held, re garding the matter of organization Cor the greatest EFFICIENCY might not be bad. You know the business and financial world is always looking for methods by which they may 'increase their They hire EFFI- CIENCY EXPERTS, whose business it is to make the particular enterprise more profitable. Thus also, the Com munity Fair should be run efficiently. To do so, there should be a sufficient number of COMMITTEES to take care of the various duties incidental to the Fair. A suggested list of COMMIT TEES is given here. These may varied to suit local conditions. ' General Committees: Amusement and entertainment. Arrangements and decorations. be Publicity. ; Exhibit .Department- Committees: Live Stock. Farm products. . Orchard and Garden products. Woman's work and fine arts. Historical relics. School and club exhibits. ' Considerable care should h? used in choosing the officers and commit tees. Probably the best way is to have the acting chairman appoint a special Nominating Committee to sug gest officers for electiqn and commit tees for appointment, after first hav ing considered their fitness and will ingness to serve. It has been found best to have the various committees uon&isi ot irom rnree to nve persons each, including at least one person of school age. My closing word is "GET BUSY" and let your motto be, "If it is good take it to the Fair " A MILLION SOULS IS LATEST CAMPAIGN OF THE 3IETHODISTS Pastor Moores to Meet Him 'Next. Friday Ualls on Constituency For Sun-rise Prayer Morning. In the Centenary Campaign Metho dism raised one hundred and sixty million dollars to be expended in the interest of the Kingdom. The raising of this amount was only a small part of the task before us, but along with the greater fas-ks will come the most priceless privileges. We are now to enter upon a com paign for the salvation of o7ie million souls. We trust that every dollar which has come into the treasury of the Lord is consecrated. Much of the amount represents sacrifice and is the expression of the deep love of those whose money comes hard. Shall it be expended in vain? Shall it be a formal, lifeless expenditure? Shall it continue only a mechanical thing in a mechanical realm nr choii transmuted into character? That will depend largely upon the prayer life of Methodism's constitiinrv Our church has set apart Friday August the 29, to be Observed" as a, day of fasting and prayer, and I am asking those who will join us in a sun-rise prayer meeting on that day which will be Friday of this week.
