SEPTEMBER 4, 1919 PRICE FIVE CENTS v f S - FINE HOTEL IS PROPOSED FOR THIS CITY LOCAL CAPITAL FREELY SUBSCRIBED FOR ERECTION OF STRICTLY MODERN HOTEL Few Property Opposite Postoffice Selected As Site; Options Taken; Plans Hopeful of Materialization. Hendersonville's tourist facilities promise to be increased through the erection of an absolutely modern all-year hotel, proposed to be erected on Fourth avenue and Church street, to cost from $100,000 to $200,000, of wliich nearly $60,000 has already been subscribed, which will be leased to a hotel man of the highest reputa tion before the plans are even drawn t4-:.-rr knnrlcnmO T"flT"nS on terms ue.Lie """"T," "71 to the investors, ana wnicn win iiu in making this city what it is mani festly destined to become a resort of the first-class. The capital stock already subscrib ed was taken a few hours after the organization meeting, held Monday in the office of Smith, Jackson -and Mor ris, adjourned. R. C. Clarke, presi dent of the First Bank and Trust company, in stating the object of the meeting, said the present season had emphasized as nothing else could possibly have done the need of more adequate hotel facilities for Hender sonville. Mr. Clarke said the town had waited long enough for outside capital to come in and build the ho tel and he believed the business men and investors of the city should now undertake the task themselves. He suggested that the undertaking be carried on along conservative lines, building such a structure as the n- , Fassifern school for Girls will open nancial means at hand might justify, ! for the 1919-20 session on Wednes and adding to it as circumstances day, Sept. 17.

When the school should be operated as a first class i was first founded in Lincolnton as hotel. The meeting organized with the election of J. O.

It was a meeting which may mean mur: for the future Hendersonville for it may mean a new hotel here of the very highest class, intended to be a most impor- tant factor in developing the city's winter tourist business, and to aid in caring for the thousands now unable to obtain accommodations here dur ing the already thoroughly establish ed summer season. At this first meeting the capital stock of the proposed hotel company and the size of the building were dis cussed somewhat fully. The capital stock was tentatively placed at $100,000, and the following explana tory motion was unanimously adopt ed: "That we undertake to promote the construction of a hotel in Hender sonville and that we organize by rais- Deen given last Friday night at the cies as they may occur at that office, ing in stock an amount of not less home of Mrs. F.

SHIPPING PUBLIC ASKED TO HELP RELIEVE CAR SHORTAGE The following statement was au horized today by the Regional Di rector's office, ' Southern , Region, United States Railroad Administra tion: "Another shortage of freight cara is in prospect for the coming fall and winter. Instead of the surplus of equipment to be found on nearly all railroads during the dull days be fore the after-the-war business re vival set in, every piece of equipment now is in use on many lines and only the most careful handling by the railroads with consistent and whole hearted co-operation from the ship ping public can prevent serious inter ference with business. "Federal Managers have been call ed upon by the Railroad Administra tion to utilize equipment to the full est possible extent, and particularly to see that cars are set in motion promptly upon being loaded or un loaded . "Shippers are asked to lend a hand both by . reducing detention of cars to a minimum and by careful and j heavy loading so that the great in I possible service may be had from each car. From a purely selfish busi ness standpoint, of course, it is to the interest of the individual shipper and receiver of freight to do his part toward minimizing the effects of a car shortage from which he will suffer along with the public -generally" Adv.

McADAMS APPEALS TO SCHOOL PATRONS FOR FULLESTGO-OPERATION New School Principal Outlines Am bitions of Faculty And Trustees And Appeals to Patrons For Fullest (-operation. To the High School Patrons: I take this means of calling your attention to a few matters relative to the coming scnool -year. The high school principal and teachers are, with one exception, just beginning their administration in Henderson ville. Those of us who are already here are getting acquainted as quick ly as possible with the people of the city and with the techinal end of the school work I wish to say that we are delighted with the communitv it seit, which has received us gracious- !ly; and we regard with, pleasure the prospect of working among you The high school teaching force promises to be exceptionally strong this year. Including the principal there will be three men and two wo men devoting their entire time, and one man and two women devoting a part of their time, to the work. The courses of study will become more va ried and flexible than before, and will meet in a larger measure the needs of individual pupils. The coming term will mark the inauguration of a new course, in Manual Training, and the expansion of the already exist ing course in Domestic Science into a four-year course in Home Economics. This action on the part of our ener getic High School Board came as a result of recent state and national legislation. Under the provisions of Mie bmith-Hughes Act the state grants very generous aid, in the way of paying salaries, to the city high school providing for vocational edu- cation. The whole country is awake to the fact that a more practical form jana to teach girls the fundamentals of sewing and cooking and other Coligny, the experienced native Frenchman in charge of the foreign language department at the Fassifern School for Girls, has agreed to de- 'vote a part of his time to the teach - ing of French and Spanish in our high school. We are pleased to an- .nounce that two other entirely new j departments, Expression and Public School Music in charge of specialists, (will be introduced this year. A detailed outline of these courses will appear next week in this paper, But there are a few rather serious tion list last year, makes a total of. count of the greater variety of cours es or study to be offered. - ! Another handicap your boys and girls must overcome is that createu last vear when the epidemic of infiu- enza forced a suspension of school for two months or, more. Some of the 'larger cities overcame this obstacle DV holding school during two of the summer months. We must overcome !it by doing what we can to encourago more intensive study at school and at home.

There are 4,181 Baptists in the thirty-five Baptist churches that consti tute The Carolina Baptist' Associa tion, 3558 of whom were represented at the last session of the association held at Mt. Gilead church in Mills River township. A few statistics from those reported will, no doubt, be of interest to these hundicls of Baptists, " and many of their fellow christians in other denominations in the county. Last year we baptized 164 people, and 55 of our members died, making a net gain of 109 mem bers. We gave to Missions and the Or phanage $2,670.38, or an average of 75 cents per capita. Of this amount the Baptists in the two churches in Hendersonville, numbering 601, paid $1,826.89, or an average of $3.04 per capita, leaving rural Baptists in Hen- derson county the distressingly low per capita rate of 44c to all mission objects. This does not include the amount raised in the Million Dollar Campaign for- Christian education. The Baptists of the county subscrib ed liberally to this enterprise, and in this the rural population have a bet ter showing. The report of the exact amount subscribed is not available to the writer at the present but it is generally understood that the $14, 000.00 which we were asked for would have been raised with a con siderable margin above 4t, had the campaign not been held up for Sevr enty-Five Million Dollar Campaign launched by Southern Baptists. It may be of interest to say here that we get credit on our apportionment inr the larger campaign for wbaV-.wecdid last fall on the EducatM5caipaign. The reports shoW'that the Baptist pastors- in this -county were "paid $5,387.55 for the year that is just past. Subtracting the salaries of the the rural parts of the county, we find that the average salary of these men of God was $193.13. This is not the ! average salary from each church t j served, but the average income of ; each minister from all churches in jhis charge. , j We spent $172.98 in the relief of the poor; $653.76 in the maintenance of our Sunday Schools, $1,427.53 for incidental expenses, and'. $1,298.43 for building and repairs. Taken in the light of the epidemic of influenza, which completely sus- pended all church activities for per- haps three months, and took the life out of the work for fully three more. J. J.
