Landslide for $30,000:00 High
School Bonds; 289 Votes for
Bonds,
The cause of education and the de
sire for improved educational facili
ties triumphed in Hendersonville
Tuesday when the citizens rolled up
an overwhelming vote of 289 for the
issuance of $30,000 worth of bonds
with which to purchase the Noter
man property and remodel the butter
ing for high school purposes. The
opposition to this progressive step
crumbled to the insignificant vote of
26. '
There was a registration of 476. The
advocates of bonds recognized the fact
that the registration would bear purg
ing but in order to carry the bonds
it was necessary to vote a majority of
the registration, thereby overcoming
the absent, the indifferent and those
openly against the issuance of bonds.

those who favored the bonds and who
have a great deal to do with controlling

stone was left 'unturned. Many a vot

the voting place. Every effort was made
to get out the indifferent vote, o The
light vote during the morning looked

confident of victory before the final

Henderson County Allotted One of
Four Companies of North Carolina;
Lieutenant Wiltshire Griffith Calls
Meeting.
. Hendersonville has been alloted one
of the four companies of National
Guard Coast Artillery to be organized
in North Carolina. This is quite an
honoj?' for the town and a reflection of
the good record made by the Sixth
Company, which was composed of
some of the county's finest specimen
of young manhood.
Authority to organize a company of
Coast Artillery has vbeen received and
a meeting of all those interested in the
re-organization of a National Guard
Company, will be held at the City Hall
Monday night, September 29.
It will require lOOTIhen between the
ages of 18 and 45 years to form the
company. Air men with previous serr
vice-in the army, navy or marine
corps during the war may enlist in the
new company for a period of one year.
provided they enlist before January
l, i3.au.
The usual two weeks encampment
will be held each summer and the act
of 1916 allows 25 percent of regular
army pay to all enlisted men for atr
tendance at armory drills and full pay
during the encampment. . "
This is a very Interesting service and
affords a chance for service to your
country as well as yourself.
Don't forget the time and place,
Monday night, September 29, at 8:30
o'clock. -

made a flurry for a meeting at the
court house Monday night, turned on
the lights and rang the bell, but fail
ure to rally a crowd resulted in
naught. T
Various "arguments were used by
the opposition. Some wanted a school
building in the eastern part of. the
city ; others wanted enlargement or
the presertt plant ; some objected to
what they considered an exorbitant
price for the Noterman property and
others objected because of their pe
culiar nature that 'opposes progressive
measures. '
.The purchase price of the Noter
man property on which the city has
an option is $23,500. The remainder
of the $30,000 bond issue ($6,500) goes
for remodeling and equipping.
