THE PUBLISHER. L I PENNEY, SECRETARY -CHAMBE LumMfirtUi nutria juiviuiiiaiftb MANAGERSHIP The Hendersonville News an nounces the addition of L. J. Penney, recently resigned secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, to its force. The News upon learning that Mr. Penney had a restless feeling to get back to his first love the newspaper work and that he purposed to tender his resignation as secretary of the local trade body, sought his services with the result that Mr. Penney will begin services with The News ay its advertising manager next Monday. The News feels unusually fortunate in being able to have on its force a man with such a wide and varied ex perience that has taken him through the newspaper gamut all the way from country journalism to positions of responsibility, on the larger metro politan journals of America. Apparently young in years but ripe and matured in valuable experience, Mr. Penney will bring with him to The News a wholesome spirit and enthusiasm that will make his ser vices valuable not only to the paper of which he is a part but to the en tire community the paper serves. He is thoroughly saturated with deep convictions as to some of this com munity's vital needs and this convic tion with the power of the press at his disposal will make his services fully if not more potent than could be expected of him as the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, which position he accepted last winter "on a gamble," as he stated, from month to month when the treasury had no funds and he accepted the work on the condition that he would not tie up the organization on an iron-clad agreement that might embarrass it. The Chamber of Commerce campaign LOCAL CARTOONIST DOES GOOD WORK FOR CITIZEN The skill of Walter Allison as a cartoonist, whose cartoons have often appeared in The News, was strikingly portrayed in The Asheville Citizen last Sunday in the reproduction of a drawing by the Hendersonville artist. The cartoon portrayed the artist's impressions of the service the Ashe ville Citizen is rendering in the up building of Western North Carolina. The artist pictured the editorial pen of The Citizen paving the way and pointing out to the tourist, future citi zen and prospective builder the "pros perity drive" to the land of promise which was pictured as "A Greater Western North Carolina" nestling up among the charming Blue Ridge mountains.

The Democratic State Convention today adopted a platform declaring that "in the interest of law and good health, of civic decency, as well as of true temperance," the party, although op posed to the return of the saloon, be lieved in "the legal use of beer and light wines." The platform assailed the Republican tariff act of 1922, con demning "the betrayal of the Amer ican people" by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge in his leadership .for the adopt ing of the bill, and favored the pay ment of adjusted compensation to world war veterans. OF THIS NEWSPA was waged for increased fund3 and jMr. Penney leaves the organization with it in excellent shape to enter ! upon a more pretentious program than its funds has heretofore permit j ted.

Sulzer's im peachment trial for an eastern pa per, after which he became connected with the editorial staff cf the Balti more Sun. In the summer of 1914 he became political and special' feature writer for the; Memphis Commercial Appeal. Two years later he accepted a posi tion as secretary of the Helena, Arkansas, Chamber of Commerce. He entered the army in September 1917 at Camp Pike, Arkansas, and was graduated from the Third Officers Training School of the 87th Division in April 1918, being commissioned in the infantry branch. As assistant camp adjutant at Camp Lee, Virginia, Mr. Penney served on the staffs of Generals Hedekin, John son and Omar Bundy. He was com missioned a captain in the infantry reserve corps upon his discharge in April, 1919, and, after a few months as chief of a Red Cross bureau in Washington, Mr. Penney again took ' up newspaper work with the Chicago J Evening.

The busi ness side of the race is established and now a movement is on foot for the promotion of their spiritual life and the erection of a synagogue in which they might have a regular place of public worship. A large number of Jews met with Mr. and Mrs. Kantrowitz Sunday n'ght and as a result of the discus sions relative to their spiritual wel fare they decided to purchase a lot; secured subscriptions to the amount of $500 to be applied on the purchase price and perfected an organization looking to the erection of a house of worship as soon as conditions justify. H. Patterson was named chairman of the building committee and A. Kantrowitz was named as chairman of the committee to secure a charter for the organization of which N. Brenner is president; Mrs. H. Patter son, vice-president; Mrs. Abe Kan trowitz, secretary, and Mrs. Louis Sherman is treasurer. There have been enrolled 33 mem bers in the organization, the formal name of which is Aguda's Israel. There is no synagogue closer than Asheville" but religious services are held on holidays by the Jews in Hen dersonviller" It is their purpose to proceed with their plans so that they may have regular services in a place of worship of their own. Dentists Organize Society;. to Make Credit Ratings The Henderson County Dental So ciety is. the latest professional or ganization in Hendersonville. The society has been organized for the purpose of promoting the interests of the dentists of the city with Dr. A. H. Morey, president; Dr. W. H. Vander Linden, secretary-treasurer. The five dentists of Hendersonville were present at the organization meeting. The discussions drifted to the lines of impositions wherein the dentists along with other business and professional men are often Im posed upon by persons who get In debted so far as credit will carry them with one dentist and then move on to the next with a repetition of the experience with the first dentist. As a result of the situation the den tists decided to prepare something of a credit rating of their customers in order that one dentist might be pro tected by the painful and costly ex perience of the other. An effort will be made to use this rating effectively in conjunction with the dentists of Asheville. NEW BRICK PLANT AT FLETCHER IS MAKING PROGRESS FLETCHER. The time of year draws near for the falling of the leaves and the exodus of our summer visitors. We enjoy having them with us and miss them when they are gone. Most of the boys and girls who go away to school have gone. The nights are getting long and they are so cold that we ar beginning to get , out the blankets and look for the ap . pearance of Jack Frost. Chestnuts are falling and nutting parties are popular. The farmers are busy har vesting their crops, all of which re minds us that winter will soon be here and 1922 will have passed. Some of our fellow townsmen have decided to cast their lot with some ,of our summer visitors in- a summer clime. Among these are R. M. Gar ren, wife and children, who are leav ing this week for Ft. Pierce, Fla. Mr. Garren has sold his household furni ture and part of his property and ex pect to buy in Florida and make that his future home.

The applicants for the injunction to restraining the county commission ers from making certain expenditures from the special road bond funds in Henderson county were successful before Judge G. S. Ferguson in Waynesville Monday. The commissioners are limited to expenditures from the bond funds. Several weeks ago K. G. Morris, S. Y. Bryson, S. Maxwell and J. T. Sea son entered suit and received a tem porary restraining order and the pro ceedings took them first to Brevard, then to Burnsville, then to Ruther fordton and last to Waynesville. During the litigation the defendants offered to compromise by turning over certain funds for expenditure by the highway commission of the state. The state authorities were conferred with and as a result Judge Ferguson granted a decree Monday in Waynes ville. The county officers were charged with spending the county's funds in judiciously in road building. - The county authorities appealed from the injunction and this may serve to longer hold up the main road building program in Henderson coun ty.. The decree of Judge Ferguson fol lows : "This cause coming on to be heard, this 25th day of September, 1922, be fore his Honor G. S. Ferguson, Judge, at Chambers at Waynesville, it is now "ORDERED AND ADJUDGED: That sixty thousand dollars of the five hundred and ninety thousand dol lar special road and bridge fund be forthwith turned over by the defend ants to the State Highway Commis sion, to be used by said Commission in the improvement of the road from Hendersonville towards Tuxedo, al ready begun, and to construct the road from the northern end of said road to the corporate limits of the city of Hendersonville and ..from the southern end of said road to the old road near the Lynch place; that two hundred thousand dollars of said fund be held by the County authorities to be used only under the supervision, of the State Highway Commission, and to be used only in the construc tion of a hard surface road from Bat Cave towards Hendersonville; and the defendants are enjoined from using or contracting for the use of any part of said sixty thousand dol lars or two hundred thousand dollars for any other purpose or in any other manner. "As to the balance of the said $590, 000 fund, the restraining order in this cause is dissolved. "It is further ordered that the de--fendants pay the costs of this action, to be paid out of the county funds of Henderson County." This decree it is understood will leave the commissioners with about $105,000 to spend as they see fit. Representing the petitioners in. Waynesville were G. H. Valentine, A. Y. Arledge, Judge O. V. F. BIythe, McD. Ray and Will Pless of Marion. Judge Frank Carter and J. E. Ship-- man, county attorneys, represented the county officials.

French Broad river had dropped to its lowest level since 1919. The atmosphere was muchT cooler yesterday and as a result people hug ged the fire closely last night and this morning.
