Consolidated August 1, 1919 Circulation 1300 Successor To , French Broad Hustler And The News VOL. XXVL NO 43 HENDERSONVILLE, N. C. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1919 PRICE FIVE CENTS BAPTIST 75 MILLION DOLLAR CAMPAIGN IS NOW NEARING ITS END "Victorj- Week," November 30 Decem ber 7 Brings Great Movement to Close; Signs Point to Universal Success. HAM CHURCHES EXCEED QUOTA (By Rev. E. E. Bomar, D. D.) The campaign waged by the 3,000,000 . Baptists of the Southern Baptist Con vention will come to an end with "Victory Week," Nov. 30-Dec. 7. This campaign has been of more than ordinary interest becau.se it is the first ... attempt of a purely religious demo cracy to get ' together on a big pro gram. The Greensboro News recent ly said: "In this colossal drive the postulates of democracy are themselves at stake; 4 T- r AnnnltAn KSTlTrtrt 311nnM n 3 iuc cijuauuu ucinccu uuiiaia auu UB" votion is about to be established .The denomination which has worked out a democracy pure and undefiled within its own church policy is now confront ed with the task of lifting from the largest possible number such a col lection as bureaucracy in its most ar rogant days never would have dared to dream. "The history of Baptism in this state Is epic . There are in North Carolina 300,000 members of this faith, which Is just twice as many as were in the United States a trifle more than 100 years ago. A century ago the Bap tists were a feeble folk, numerically small, mentally acute but untrained, spiritually fervid but narrow; a peo ple without a written creed, without a liturgy; yet by their own self-determination they have come to first posi tion in numerical strength, in gifts to i, -J W far more svmnathetin than their fa- Y- mers. Every indication points to victory in the South, the State and the Coun try. Many churches in the State have already made their canvass in almost every case exceeding their apportion ment. In our own county several have quickly passed the goal or they are approaching it. The churches not yet well organized for the canvass are nevertheless has tening the organization and will make the canvass either on next Sunday af ternoon or the week following. The teams of the First Baptist church met Monday night and it de veloped that in the team there were two subscriptions of $1000 and several of $500 or more. - But everything depends on close, hard prayerful work. The victory Is not won until every member of all the churches has been canvassed. Directors and pastors of churches will please report their results to me, not to Raleigh. t i, FULL WEEK OF SERVICES AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Thanksgiving And Preparation Fob "Victory Week" Canvass Will Make Busy Season.

CHIMNEY ROCK TO HAVE TELEPHONE CONNECTION WITH PRINCIPAL POINTS Southern Bell Will Build Line From Asheville By Way Of This City In The Near Future. DR. MORSE IS GIVEN CREDIT The Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company has decided to build a telephone line from Aslieville to Chimney Rock by way of Hender sonville. That wire connection be tween these important points, which has heretofore been inadequate, will be established in the near future, is evident from the following letters written by N. Buckner, secretary of the board of trade of Asheville: Dr. L. B. Morse, Hendersonville, N. C. Dear Dr. Morse: I have the personal assurance from Mr. Morgan B. Spier, General Mana ger of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Co., of Charlotte, that materials and supplies have been or dered for a telephone line to connect Chimney Rock and Asheville, via Hen dersonville and that it is expected the line will be completed and open for the spring and summer business of 1920. With best wishes, Cordially, N. BUCKNER, Secretary. Mr. Noah Hollowell, Editor, Hendersonville News, Hendersonville, N. C. The Asheville Board of Trade has been working on this proposition for several years past. Dr. Morse has been doing valuable work along the same line and to him belongs most of the credit for the building of this tele phone line which will mean so much to this entire section. N. BUCKNER. MR. GARVIN TAKES CLASSES TO SPECIAL DAIRY SCHOOL Hendersonville And Flat Rock Pupils Given Advantage Of The Course At Asheville. Victor Garvin, the newly-appointed teacher of classes in livestock and dairying at the High schools of Hen dersonville and Flat Rock, reached Asheville this morning with about a dozen boys and young men who aro under his instruction, planning to tak them to the dairy school being held at Grace today with Earl Brintnall and A; C. Kimrey,' of the state . depart ment, conducting the gathering. Mr. Garvin described in an inter esting way the work of these newly organized classes opened in Hender sonville and Flat Rock on "November 1 - The courses are held in the for mer town during the mornings of the week, and at the latter point in the afternoons, there being already twenty-five men and boys receiving in struction at the two places. These courses are divided into class room or laboratory work, and project work In the fields and on the farms of the community, each division lasting for a period of six months. The courses have been established with the assistance of the Smith Hughes act, enabling progressive far mers of the community to take advan tage of this instruction without per sonal expense. Courses in allied science and laboratory work at the high schools are also open to them if they so desire. Mr. Garvin points out the great value to the community of having a goodly number of trained farmers at work, thus supplying the county with a large number of de monstration agents instead of merely one . While Mr. Garvin came into Wes tern North Carolina primarily to in vestigate possibilities in the sugar beet industry, he believes that the general growth of livestock raising and dairying must be first attained be fore the beet industry can be made a paying proposition in this section. Mr. Garvin owns a farm near Hender sonville, upon which practical demon strations are carried on, and he also has a ranch in Wyoming, where cattle raising is carried on upon a large scale . He has had many years of ex perience in his chosen field. In connection with this' work, the Hendersonville News has opened a de partment given over to agriculture, Mr. Garvin editing the column, to which, contributions from his pupils are received upon various phases or their work.

She has always shambled along at a fairly good pace but now she is ap proaching the maximum speed. Recent real estate deals, and- build ing operations in progress and con templated for the near future, have by conservative estimate been placed at a Valuation of one million dollars some activity for a small city com ing in rapid progress on the heels of what was the best tourist year in the history of the South's popular play ground. The cartoon herewith, drawn for The News by W. E. Allison, recently discharged from the navy and here on a visit to his. grandmother, Mrs. A. H. Williams, graphically sets forth the real estate activity of Hendersonville an activity perhaps never before matched in the life of this community. Along with this activity has come higher prices . A new standard of real estate values in Hendersonville was established last summer perhaps 25 per cent above the old prices by the remarkable sale of the W. A. Smith property on Main street. Every real estate firm in the city re ports heavy sales of property at good prices during the past few months. The real estate deals by conservxative estimate during the past few months will reach about half a million dollars. Signs of growth and progress are 1 evident on every hand. Almost In . every direction one can see old build ings m repair or new residences and business houses in course of erection . FIRST LYCEUM NUMBER FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5th.

Kincaid has laid the founda tion for a two-story brick building on Main street, to be occupied by his grocery store.

Will Smith is converting the Smith office building into larger quarters for boarding house purposes and the building will be located on King street. The hotel proposition from Mr. Tallevast of Miami, Fla., is by no means dead or sleeping and from this a hotel costing about $200,000 is con fidently expected to develop. If It doesn't Brownlow Jackson and J. O. Bell expect to. build one. Mrs.. A. M. Gover has announced that she will erect a hotel next year on Fifth ave nue. Prospects are bright for the erec tion of another small hotel in this city and for this negotiations are now pending but no specific information Is given out for publication. Considering all her activities, Hen dersonville's growth and progress is distinctly marked and the develop ments now in the making and those contemplated are expected to bring even a' greater boom to this city the most rapidly growing city in Wes tern Carolina. As to the merits of the artistic work of Mr. Allison, who has drawn several cartoons of local application, the one herewith so strikingly set forth Hendersonville's boom that The News decided it was worth wider publicity and would justify the ex pense of a cut made by, engravers from Mr. Allison's drawing.
