BOARD OF TRADE
BANQUET FRIDAY

OF 100 EXPECTED ' '
flection of Officers, Consideration of
Full-Time Secretary, Constitute .
Program Planned
A banquet minus, set speeches, pre
pared musical selections and other
euch formalities, leaving room for
the consideration of matters of grave
importance to Hendersonville and her
future, is what is contemplated for
the annual meeting of the Board of
Trade Friday night of this week at
the Ilodgewell hotel. In view of this
fact a full membership attendance is
predicted. Officers for this year will
be elected at this meeting, and the
question of a full-time Board of Trade '
secretary will be considered.
The committee appointed to make
arrangements for the banquet state
that under the program arranged no
"hot air artistry" will be tolerated.
Though the feast being prepared will
be no less sumptuous and appetizing
than of yore, the first meeting of
Hendersonville's leading civic orga
nization for the new year will be con
ducted in a business-like way, in view
of the many important business mat
ters to be brought before the assem
blage. Two-minute talks, more in the
nature of impromptu speeches, by
members best equipped to discuss
questions brought before the meeting,
will probably be called for by the
chairman.
The nominating committee, appoint
ed at the December meeting of the
Board of Trade, has practically com
pleted its work, it is understood, but
will not make public its recommenda
tions until Friday night. Those con
stituting this committee are F. S. Wet
mur, K. G. Morris, W. F. Penny, W.
A. Smith, and F. A. Ewbank.
The chief question of importance to
be discussed at the annual meeting
is that of a full-time secretary, A
committee, composed of K. G. Morris,
W. F. Penny, W. A. Smith, appointed
at the last meeting of the organiza
tion, will report their recommenda
tions at the annual meeting this week?
Privately and publicly the matter has
been discussed, many agreeing that
this city has grown large enough to
demand a full-time secretary.

few?.- .:. ... -"-
Feeling that the opinion of the pres
ent head of the Board of Trade, C.
F. Bland, in reference to a full-time
Secretary, the question now of chief
moment to the members, would bear
much weight, The News as secured
an article "from him on this subject,
and it is printed below.
(By C. F. Bland, Pres. Board of Trade)
Five years ago the Board of Trade
was in debt, and as it was not in shape
financially to pay for the services of
a secretary, our present efficient sec
retary, A. S. Truex, kindly offered to
"W W 1 1 TW T W J 1 I III f- iw I -" III I I "-. 1 I r 1 I I-
ing hand, and by the hard work they
have done and the efforts they' have
made, Hendersonville has gone for
ward. It is no longer spoken of and
looked upon as the town it was at that
time.
We feel now that we have come to
; a point in our growth that the full
time of an -efficient secretary is in
dispensable. The men who have
worked so faithfully can no longer be
. expected to give their time and their
money to do the work for the town,
neglecting their own business. The
services .of a paid man, whose busi
ness is to look after the many inter
ests of the organization, , are there
fore necessary. Our little city has
errown in value to something like
seven million dollars tax assessment.

PROF. YOUNG
OF HORSE SHOE
, DIED DEC. 23
Native, of Michigan and Former Uni
versity Professor Died at Adopt
. ed Horse Shoe Home,
(By Mrs. W. P. Whitmire)
Prof. A. V. E. Young, educator and
philanthropist, died Friday evening,
December 23, at 6:15 o'clock, in the
care of his friends, Mr. and Mrs. Geo
Massey, at his own and Mr. Massey 's
home in "Horse Shoe, after an illness
lasting two months. The immediate
cause of his death was typhoid an
Thtestinal 'grip.
Mr, Young was born in Grand
Rapids, Mich,, sixty-eight years ago
and only three years ago resigned the
chair of chemistry in the North West
ern University of Chicago, which place
he had occupied- uninterruptedly for
thirty-four years. During this time
Mr Young cared for and educated
over forty young men, Mr. Massey,
with whom lie lived, being one of them.
He traveled widely in Europe and
has pupils there, one, especially, in
India whom he lov.ed. His charities
along other lines were equally as
prominent, For instance, last Christ
mas he distributed-"Santa Claus" to
all the children in his community.
His professed motto was "Do Unto
Others as 3re would Have Others - do
unto you." For these noble charac
teristics of nature, coupled with a
mind of rare intelligence, he was a
man beloved and sought by all with
whom he came in contact.
In 1918, after the marriage of Mr.
Massey, together they bought the
Chas. Hobbs' farm at Horse Shoe, and
since that time have lived there.
Funeral services were conducted
Sunday morning by Rev. Mr. Snyder
of .Mars Hill, a student . whom Mr.
Young knew and loved. Interment

HENDERSONVILLE, N. C,
HUMOR AND GOOD WILL FEATURE
ANNUAL BANQUET OF HENOCA CLUB
.-
One Hundred Men Listen to Talks For Three and
One-Half Hours; Banquet Was Compliment
of Hodgewell Proprietors.
The "peace on earth and good wiU'
spirit that, should be typical of the
holiday season was much in evidence
at the Henoca Club banquet at the
Hodgewell Saturday night and the
occasion arranged for more of a get-to-gether
feeling was a notable suc
cess when about 100 men gathered
with no object in view more than a
season of jollity, fellowship and good
will.
From the minute the men seated
themselves at the tables and found
at' their plates a horn especially label
ed "Blow for Hendersonville" there
was much noise, merriment and good
feeling, flowing from the heights of
the sublime to the depths of the
ridiculous.
Souvenir hats of fancy design were
donned by each man at the feat over
which Sam T. Hodges presided. The
event was opened at 8:30 with brief
prayer by Dr. E. E. Bomar.
A review of the history and pil
grimages of the Henoca Club was
presented. R. II. Staton was called
on to describe the pilgrimage to Ohio,
when the club went after President
Harding to spend a- vacation in Hen
dersonville about a year ago. Mr.
Staton expressed the opinion that the
visit to Ohio was an important under
taking and one of the greatest events
in the history of Hendersonville. W.
F. Penny said the impoitant lesson
he learned on the trip was the neces
sity for cooperation. Lee Whitmire
was called on to explain what was
really done on the pilgrimage to
Florida. This he did in splendid
fashion in a humorous vein, touching
the ridiculous side of the pilgrimage
with a coloring that provoked laugh
ter. Chas. Rozzelle made the shortest
speech of the evening, contenting him
self with an expression of the pleas
ure he gained from the Florida jour
ney. - ,
Dr. Frank Siler, the new pastor of
the Methodist church, responded to
the call of the toastmaster, expressed
his delight at being in Hendersonville,
where he found a good spirit and a
cosmopolitan people. He congratu
lated the people on the growth-f-the
city and predicted tMt twenty-iiYe
vears hence Hendersonville would ex
tend from Flat Rock to Fletcher.
Df. W. R, Kirk's description of
how he fou.iu Hendersonville twenty
years ago when hy came in on a
stretcher in search of health was in
teresting to those who had not known
the city that long. He reviewed pro
gress along many lines., especially ed
ucational, and said Hendersonville
should stress the fact that it is an
educational center, and should make
it popular in this respect. He de
clared that he knew no town that had
made such growth and progress as
Hendersonville because it had a spirit
of co-operativeness, which, though it
lags at times, is remarkable upon the
whole.
E. W. Ewbank reviewed, 1921 ac
complishments in Hendersonville as
something to be proud of, a building
program that was not equaled any
where else in North Carolina. Mr.
Ewbank told of Street and road im
provements and of the building and
improving of hotel and residential
properties in and around Henderson
ville. He described Hendersonville's
accomplishments during the year as
something of which the people should
feel grateful. He called attention to
the fact that there was the lack of
co-operation of late and urged the
importance of hearty co-operation in
the great program of city building.
W. A. Smith, president of the Heno
ca Club, was introduced as a prophet
and it' was his task to describe Hen
dersonville in 1932. In order to bring
his audience up to the subject with
a proper perspective he went back to
the year 1876 when he came to Hen
dersonville with nothing but a sheep
skin, trunk with little of value in it
and an indebtedness of one thousand
dollars. He then saw a great future
for Hendersonville, the growth of
which was hampered by the attitude
of its biggest property owners. Hen
dersonville was described as a strag
gling village with no street or road
improvements worth mentioning and
with but few buildings, only a very
limited number of which are now
standing. ' The speaker pictured for
1932 a city anywhere from three to ten
times as large as it is today. He
complimented Jake Wells and said
that Hendersonville should do all it
could to make him glad he selected
this city as a place for heavy invest
ments. He saw in the decision of
the First Bank & Trust Company to
erect a handsome home and office
building ah omen for unusual pro
gress in Henderson county. .' --
Sheriff V. E. Grant successfully de
scribed the swift ride of United States
Marshal Brownlow Jackson to Shelby
to get his commission for the marshal
ship. A. W. Honeycutt, secretary of the
Henoca Club, struck out on construc
tive lines and in reviewing some
things accomplished and others pend
ing raised the question as to what
TUESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1922
should be undertaken for 1922. He
said Hendersonville could do what it
determined and that it was time to
take stock of the community assets.
He said that a large sum had been
invested in the community during the
year drawing to a close and that if
Henderson county expected to grow
into a well - proportioned community,
facilities must be provided for de
veloping the educational as well as
the material side of life. Educational
investment was described as the best
that could be made. Mr. Honeycutt
reviewed a progress of nearly two
million dollars made and in progress
during 1921. Among the items men
tioned were: Approximately $800,000
for roads and streets; big power de
velopments; building of Queen the
atre block by Dr. W. R. Kirk; First
Bank & Trust Company; Brownlow
Jackson's business block; McAdoo
apartments ; Associated Reformed
Presbyterian assembly, $75,000; water
line, $430,000; township schools, $250,
000; residences $100,000; miscellan
eous, $100,000. He said It was pos
sible for Hendersonville to enact a
great program through cooperation
which should find its highest expres
sion in the employment of a full-time
secretary for the Board of Trade.
C. F. Bland, president of the Board
of Trade, said the people of Hender
sonville must get a vision of the Board
of Trade as a body in which commun
ity endeavor should center and as
one for performing community tasks.
He said he had observed the Board
of Trade's growth for five years, a
growth that had been so marked as to
outgrow a part-time secretry's duties.
He said a city with assets of six mil
mion dollars required a full-time sec
retary whose duty should be the
utilizing of the community's assets nit
a way that would attract people to it.
Jake Wells, who with Sam T.
Hodges, owners of the Hodgewell,
gave the banquet complimentary to
theIIenec& Clubhand who made a
special trip from Washington to Hen
dersonville to be present at the gath
ering, expressed great delight in his
ability to be at such a gathering in
Hendersonville, where he last winter
found a spirit of optimism that kad
an inipftrtant bearing on local prog
ress. He noted a sagging in tljig
fine spirit, which he wanted to see re
newed in order that Hendersonville
might go forward with the great pro
gram before it. Ha "said that such a
meeting should be the foundation of
other good meetings for sociability and
fellowship. He expressed apprecia
tion for the complimentary remarks
Concerning him and pleaded with his
hearers to get together in spirit and
make even a better winterthan Hen-,
dersonville enjoyed last year". '
Mr. Hodges explained that there was
no selfish motive in giving the ban
quet, that a lack of cooperation was
in evidence and that this was re
garded as a good opportunity to. get
the people together. Until this mom
ent from " the time the banquet had
been announced sevei'al days before
the real purpose of the meeting and
the names of those giving it had been
kept a secret. An expression of
thanks was registered by the 100 men.
I present. -
Dr. Bomar was introduced by the
toastmaster as a "real he man" loved
by the community without regard to
denominational lines. The speaker
expressed delight in being in Hender
sonville, a city with a fine spirit and
rapid progress. He advised his hear
ers not to be too critical of each other
and of the town and to remember that
1921 was a mighty good year. He ex
pressed pleasure in the evidences of
progress in church life, pointing to
the efforts of the Episcopal and Meth
odist churches for better places of
worship and told his audience to mix
business and religion and enjoy the
highest spirit possible. His remarks
were closed with a prayer as the
hands of the time pieces showed that
1922 had been ushered in.
The toastmaster announced that
time would not permit speeches from
the following who were on the pro
gram: Michael Schenck, C. E. Brooks,
R. C. Clarke, Claude Sales, F. S. Wet
mur, W. H. Bangs, J. E. Shipman, A'.
Y. Arledge and J. O. Bell.
, The program was arranged by Mr.
Hodges and Mr. Honeycutt.
