Adger Smyth, F. S. Wetmur, Dr. J. S. Brown, Raymond : Edwards, A. R. Hansen, J. C. 'Waldrop, S. E. Pow ers, Noah Hol- lowell, W. F. Penny, A. W. Honeyeutt; Stanley H. Wright and E. W. Ewbank. - These workers added approximately 75 new memberships and the movement is well on its way toward the 300 mark. More than 100 individuals and firms remain to be seen. Twenty three of those called upon yesterday were out of their offices. So encouraging were yesterday's returns Mr. Wright decided that the campaign would continue until every one had been given an opportunity to unite with the Chamber in its efforts to better , Hendersonville conditions. "Who's Who in Business Hendersonville," the publication the . new Chamber of Commerce will issue at the close of the campaign, will contain the names, addresses, businesses and telephone numbers of all members. This book will be given broad publicity and is con S3red by many firms and individuals worth many times the mem ship dues. One progressive Hendersonville professional man, a new comer, ; om the workers had not reached, mailed his application and ck to the Chamber of Commerce to forestall any doubt that his iae would not get in "Who's Who." Approximately 40 persons daily call at the Chamber of Com ree's information bureau to ask where they may obtain various ieles of merchandise, where a dentist or physician may be found, tvhere boarding houses and hotels are located, how far it is to a good garage, etc. . "Who's Who in Business Hendersonville" will be used in the future to reply to these persons, as well as mail inquiries. These, books will, as it were4 act as sort of a business index and the names of those firms and persons who believe in their town will naturally derive the advantage therefrom, according to Mr. Wright. The books will be found in boarding houses, hotels, Chambers of Commerce in other cities and be given a general distribution by , real estate firms, railroads, etc. "It behooves us, therefore," said Mr. Wright, in addressing wrvrU-Ars "to civfl evervone an opportunity to get in this book." A smoker to the new and re-pledged members will be given early next week, at which time the new by-laws will be submitted and plans made to elect officers and directors for the new year, which begins October first. There will also be chosen the business coun cil in which every group, trade, profession, etc., will have two elected representatives. Through this council the voice of city and county will come -forcibly to the ears of the directors and officers, and, in fact, the council will initiate the movements it believes to be for the best interest of the city and county after hearing all sides to the ques-' tions that may come up.

As a consequence most of the visitors came in cars, the number of automobiles in Henderson ville this year exceeding that of pre 7ious years by a good many, accord ing to authorities on street traffic. While the exact figures are not available postoffice authorities state that the number; of pieces of mail handled this season also exceeds any previous records, another sign polnt ng to the increasing popularity of Hendersonville as a resort city. At present the season is still at its height. Hotels and boarding houses are still filled and business conse quently is at full blast. Those familiar with conditions , predict that the sea son will hold for at least from four to five weeks more. , Best Season Yet While local merchants report busi ness this year as slightly improved and are optimistic over the future, hotels and boarding houses of the city are more than pleased over this vear's season, the majority stating that it is the best they have enjoyed. Most of them, especially owners of mountain resorts and promoters of scenic trips, such as Chimney Rock, .Tumn Off mountain and others, are planning for extended improvements and additions for tne season to come, Dr. Fuquay to Join Dr. Vander Linden Dr. C.

Troops have been withdrawn from the vicinity of the Spencer shops, and the strike which threatened, by members of the Big Four brotherhoods, has come to an end. From midnight last night to noon today not a brotherhood man respond ed, it is said, to the call boy and all the clerks in the yard office, round house, office and master mechanic, storehouse and depot, also quit work, making a clean sweep. Yesterday the engineers, firemen, trainmen, con ductors and clerks held separate meetings and each organization made a formal request of the Southern of ficials to remove the troops and they would feturn to work. When pre sented to General Manager R. E. Simpson, here in his private car, he told the men that if they objected to the presence of troops they would be withdrawn, that he was anxious to do all possible for the convenience and accomodation of loyal employes. In half an hour Mr; Simpson made a re quest of Col. Don Scott, in charge of the five companies of militia on duty around the shops, that they be re moved. At 12 o'clock the place-was cleared of soldiers and the members of the five brotherhoods "and clerk's union walked back to their jobs.

C. N. G., of this city." The outfit returned today from Camp Bragg, where, under command of Captain Thomas J. Hyder and First Lieutenant R. L. Whitmire they spent two weeks in general drill and en joyed camp life tothe utmost. Under the leadership and instruction of reg ular 'army officers, assigned to the unit, the battery took charge , of four 6" howitzers, fired 400 rounds and elicited the praise and favorable comment on their general efficiency and fine handling of the guns from the regular army men, the best spirit of co-operation between the federal and national guard v men existing at all times. Soon to be Fully Equipped No. accidents marred the stay at the training camp and the men returned in the best of spirits. The battery, consisting now of about 80 men, two officers and a number of "non-coms," will begin drill in earnest and expects soon to be equipped with four howit zers, the required number of small arms and other equipment, continuing to make an effort to measure up with the. best national guard units in the state. The typewriter is the most deadly of all engines of warfare because it spreads propaganda that causes war, according to Thomas R. Marshall, former Vice-President of the United States. BOOSTERS DEFEAT MOUNTAINEERS IN TWO GAMES HERE The Boosters brought the Waynes ville aggregation down another notch here yesterday by defeating them by the, overwhelming score of 13 to 3. Benny Smith, pitching for the lo cals, allowed the visitors but eight hits, not any of them being for more than on$ base. Weeks started the game for the Mountaineers but was yanked from the pit in favor of Cicero Weaver . after the former had issued free passes to. about a half dozen Hendersonville batters. The Boosters harvested a (Continued on page 8) AND PERSONAL PROPERTY those of last year.

Considering everything, and in spite oi" the fact that the average at tendance at locally played games has been well, just average Henderson ville has had a real ball team in the Boosters this year. In. fact, the play ing of the. locals has proven as worthy of attention by several major league scouts. As the first game of the post-season games will be played here it is ex pected that the attendance will be all that it should be, the playing being of a sort as to demand the greatest encouragement by local fans. Either Moyer or Luther will pitch the open (Continued on Page 8.) STATE ENGINEERS FOLLOW OLD A party of eight engineers sent to Henderson county by -the State" High way Commission Is making good pro gress in the location of the state highway between Hendersonville and the Buncombe county line. In view of the long drawn out con troversy as to the course of this high way, whether it would follow in , the main the present road or take the proposed route by Rugby, as recom mended by the county engineer, the fact that the engineers will follow the course of the old road closely will be received . with considerable interest. Capt. J. A. Nichols is chief of the party of engineers, who after estab lishing a satisfactory approach to the city took up a line shortly west of the first concrete bridge near the city limits and have proceeded toward the Buncombe line. Working with the view to the elimination of the sharp curve to the right within the city where the present road leaves the dozen Haywood road; the engineers have .sketched two satisfactory routes for GEORGE SHE HAN PURCHASES FINE RUTLEDGE PROPERTY Fletcher Commnnity Alive With Busi ness, Social and Religions Aeti ities Purchase of property here known as the Oliver Rutledge property and consisting of a handsome stone build ing and about a hundred acres of land has been made by George C.
