VERT STRONG ORGANIZATION The News this week makes another record establishes a r precedent as -they would . say in political . and dip lomatic circles by coming out six teen pages strong as a regular issue -with no special occasion or season to stimulate business. This fact reflects two or three con ditions that The News thinks it well to call to the attention of its readers. First and foremost is the business conditions that such a large news paper reflects. It shows that business is good in Hendersonville that mon ... . . ,i v.n rr?i News is regarded as a good advertis - Trier medium. The other condition in which The News takes special pride is its plant and workng organization that makes possible sixteen pages wthout undue stictin The difficult task of consolidating two plants was completed last Satur day when The News and the French Broad Hustler were completely merg ed and consolidated in reality as well s in name. This consolidation with other improvements gives The News possibly the best equipped weekly newspaper plant in Western North Carolina. The linotype machine, the most expensive machinery in the shop, Tias been Increased about 100 per cent in emciency by the installation of an electric pot to take place of the gaso line heating equipment. The'plant has three job presses with individual motors attached to two of them, a convenience that every plant has not afforded. All in all, the plant "is in excellent working condition. . As to the working force, it is 100 per cent perfect and no weekly news paper in this section can boast of such perfection and of so strong a person nel. Two men were added Monqay.- As to the contents of The News, the Henderson county news, of which it makes a specialty, (knowing that the home news is what the home folks want) Is usually carried first in great er volume than found elsewhere. The News has in Hon. E. W. Ewbank, a regular editorial contributor, a writer of recognized talent, ability, fairness and reliability, whose contributions are always looked forward to with in terest. In addition to this excellent editorial and local news service The News carries each week a four col umn boiled down summary of the state and world news, making in all good reading matter with a background of interesting business announcements which portray many business op portunities. The community is growing and The News is determined to keep pace with it and reflect general progress as ac curately as it is within reason to do.

(By Major Michael Schenck) Chairman, Henderson Co. "Third Roll Call," American Red Cross Editor of The News: You have been generous enough to offer me the columns of your paper to call the'attention of our people to the "Third Roll Call" of the American Red Cross, and I am now availing my self of your generosity. I am exceed ingly anxious that our county and city, who did their part nobly during the war, will continue in the good work by "seeing the last soldier through," by seeing that he or his family do not suffer for his having offered his all that our country's safety and honor should be upheld. Let the brand of . our patriotism for 1920 be equal to that of 1917 ! The war may be over in so far as you ana I are concerned, but it is not over, in effect, with the boys who are now In our hospitals as a result of their sac rifices made during the last two and half years. The American Red Cross is NOW while I write this appeal watching over 125,000 wounded American soldiers in 57 hospitals In this great country of ours, made safe by these very boys who proved them selves men in the time of the nation's peril, worthy American men ! Not only are we asked to assist in the work of caring for our soldiers, sailors and marines, but we are askett to assist in alleviating pain and dis tress at home. The funds raised m the present campaign are to be equal ly divided between the general work of the American Red Cross and the work of the local chapter. Not only is the money to be divided, but it la hoped that much interest may be aroused, which may likewise be di vided between nation and home. The employment of a trained nurse is now contemplated by the local chapter of the Red Cross. This will be dope if sufficient funds can be raised. Think of the good, that can be realized by the work of an intelligent nurse, who would give all of her time and Henderson Cos Part in Seventy Five Million Campaign of Baptists DR. BOMAR EXPLAINS NATURE OF CAMPAIGN AND GIVES APPORTIONMENT OF EACH BAPTIST CHURCH IN COUNTY, TOTALLNG $55,000.00. (By Rev. Dr. E. E. Bomar, The campaign has reached that stage which places its success or failure, under God, wholly in the hands of the churches. Failure is not to be thought of. We must and will suc ceed. The month of November is called "Enlistment Month" because the ob ject, during this monthis to enlist the entire membership of every church, heart, soul and organization, in this great wprk. Heart, soul and organiza tion are all necessary. Much infor mation has been given. It must be continued from the pulpit, in Sunday schools and prayer meetings, in the press and in private conversation. Most of the churches are organized wholly or in part. Complete organization, to the last detail is now imperative. This is the work of the directors, pastors and wo man organizers. The time for taking individual sub scriptions is Sunday, November 30, and the week following. This is call ed "Victory Week." Many well or ganized churches will "go over, the top" to victory, the first day, but the entire week must be devoted to seeing and getting subscriptions from the ab sent and delinquent members. It may. he well to state again the ob ject of the campaign. It is the en listment of ALL. the members ofALL the Baptist churches in missions, Christian education and benevolences. In other words, in home, state and foreign missions,: Christian education in such schools and colleges a3 Fruit land and Wake Forest, Chrstian hospi tals and the care of aged preachers. It is a null toeether for all these ob jects by all the 3,000,000 white Baptists of the south. .

This will suit all country churches. November 30th is a fifth Sunday.

Also the American Red Cross strives to teach our children patrio tism and service, Americanism, and to remind our men and our women of their universal duty to their fellow men and their country. This campaign now on, between No vember 2nd and November llth, is an annual event, in which the American Red Cross submits its record to the American people, and seeks from them a renewal of their allegiance and a mandate of future activity. The Red Cross needs people quite as much as money, and wants not only your dol lar but your heart and headj and your service and prayers. If every man, woman and child in Henderson County, who has in his or her creed the love of his fellow man, and who has in his or her veins true American blood, will respond to this "Third Roll Call," our county will sustain her noble record heretofore made and upheld. See to it that we fail not ! On Thursday next, November 6th, 191$, your name will be Called. An swer with your dollar, a smile and a pledge to service. Respectfully, MICHAEL SCHENCK. Chm.

What Hendersonville people al ready know that this isolated peak, now rendered easy of access by its splendid road, furnishes one of the finest views not only in Western North Carolina but in all the eastern half of the country as well was made known to the hundreds of tourists who visited here last summer and made the ascent of the mountain. They came from all parts of the country; from states where the monotony of surface is never broken by a real hill, and from states where peaks tower toward the sky; all meeting on this common ground and uniting in a common chorus of appreciation . The record taken from the register shows that tourists from 38 states of this country and from nine foreign countries made, the ascent of the mountain last summer. States as far apart as Florida and Montana, and countries as remote as Norway and the Fiji Islands, were represented by the enthusiastic sightseers; who, whatever their natural scenery .at home might be, had something new and unique to behold in the panorama spread out below Stoney Mountain. As a proof of the impression made by their visits, 90 people made inquir ies in regard to building sites on Stoney. The company proposes to furnish houses built on these moun tain sites with electric lights and run ning spring water. With such con veniences, combined with the splendid scenic advantages of the locality, the future of Stoney as a resort seems assured. The following states aijd foreign countries were represented by visi tors: - - ; ' : '- J "' : South Carolina, Missouri, Vermont, New York, North Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, Ohio, Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Virginia, Tennessee, Dis trict of Columbia, Washington, Indi ana, Kentucky, West Vrginia, Arkan sas, Massachuetts, - Pennsylvania,' Cali fornia, Nebraska, Oregon, Maryland, Oklahoma, Montana, Texas, Wisconsin, Colorado, Louisiana, .

MAY HOLD REVIVAL IX SPRING The board of stewards of the Metho dist church of Hendersonville in monthly session and the first meeting of the new church-year Monday night elected officers, appointed committees reviewed the past year's work, took an optimistic view of the future, In creased the salary of the pastor, planned for a revival and entered en thusiastically into discussion looking to the erection of a new house of worship.- - Secretary C. F. Bland of the board of stewards said that the church faced the, situation of turning away more people at times than it could accom modate because of the limited size of the house of worship.. During the summer season the building is crowd ed at practically every service ana unable to accommodate the crowds on many occasions . A revival for next spring has been discussed, but definite decision has not been' made. '. f Thesaiaryiof-Rev. M.; F Moores, the pastor, was increased from $1,800 to $2,000 at the meeting Monday night. In view of its appreciation of Mr. Moores service the . church, just be fore lie left, for- the recent conference, made ;hirijj , ,a present jf. $200.

CLARKE AUCTIONEER From Balfour to the outskirts of East Flat Rock and from the Southern passenger station eastward for miles stretched the truly magnificent es tate of the late Major Theodore Bar ker, once so familiar a figure on Main street and a part of whose vast hold ings are now on the market, to be sold at public auction by R. C. Clarke on Wednesday morning, November 12. There were between two. and three thousand acres of the, estate, recalls W. A. Smith, a life-long friend and admirer of the eminent lawyer whose hunger for Henderson county land seemed never to be satisfied. The stretch of that estate appeals to the imagination strongly: beginning at Balfour to far-off East Flat Rock and running eastward for miles. A mag nificent estate, truly. And now it is being sub-divided being cut up into small farms whose fertile soil means future competence to the worker. The tracts will be of varying sizes from five to fifteen acres. Some of them are splendidly wooded these will appeal to the city man desirous of suburban home. Others will consist of bottom lands, or uplands and these will speak to the farmer, the trucker, or again the city man who wants to fight the high living costs in the most effective way. This property was the pride of a big mana man who ranked high in his profession. He was the law partner of a man no less distinguished in the law Barker and Simonton was the firm title; Judge Simonton was a noted jurist, at one time a Federal judge, and the partnership endured many years. Although Major Bar ker's winter home was in Charleston; and although he owned great rice plantations in South Carolina, it was here In Hendersonville and on this beautiful estate now to be turned over to the man of mbre modest means that he found .his relaxation and i greatest joy in life. I - P. F Patton and Brownlow Jack son, who announce this important sale of an historic estate, have had good roads and streets built there and have so' platted the 225 acres to be of-' Ifered that almost any man may find his needs satisfied. The fertility of the soil of the estate is common knowledge. So fertile is it, indeed, that Smith, Jackson & Morris, the real estate brokers handling the transac tion for the interested parties, be lieve the development , of these 225 acres as small farms will mean a very considerable addition to the county's agricultural wealth. Major Barker took pride in the estate pride in its beauty, in its wonderful appeal, and pride in its farms' productiveness. And so, an estate which once equal led in area many a little old country kingdom, which ran from Balfour to the confines of East Flat Rock, will soon pass into many different hands. It 'is a matter of congratulation, how ever, that the building of roads and streets through its depths has but revealed new beauties there, new charms and, perhaps best of all, new opportunities for those who find joy in the country on the edge of a town, and who will there work out a wise plan in which new health and more wealth will play equal parts.
