VOLUME XXXVII. NUMBER 4 FIVE CENTS COPY PUBLIC HEALTH HURSE SECURED BY RED CROSS Member American Red Cross Meet at City Hall Tuesday and Vote To Secure Nure At a meeting of the Henderson ville chapter of the American Red Cross, held Tuesday afternoon in the Mayor's court room, it was decided to secure the services of an exper ienced public health nurse for Hen derson county. Miss Katherine Myers, of the State Public Health Service addressed the gathering and presented the facts in so conclusive a manner that the necessity of a pub lic health nurse for Henderson coun ty was at once apparent. Miss Myers gave in exact figures the num ber of deaths during 1920 in Hen derson county and their causes, ex plaining that practically all of them were preventable. She outlined in detail the work of the public health nurse, convincing her hearers more strongly than ever of the vital neces sity of such a nurse. At the conclusion of the address, the treasurer, Hestley Stepp, report ed that sufficient funds were on hand to finance the undertaking for a year, and Miss Crenshaw, of the Atlanta office of the Red Cross, vol unteered to remain here and raise by public subscription enough money to purchase a car for the nurse. A mo tion was made and carried to have the North Carolina director of public health nursing select a nurse for Henderson county. For a number of years it has been the ambition of the Hendersonville Red Cross chapter to procure the services of a public health nurse. They have been working hard and consistently to attain their object and at last success has crowned their earnest efforts. MR. McKEAND WILL VISIT HERE Asheville. N.

WHITE HOUSE DEMAND FOR FLOWERS HEAVY It is difficult even for Mrs. Hard ing to realize the cost of flowers nowadays, testimony before a Con gressional committee reveals. In asking for an appropriation of $3, 000 for the White House greenhous es. Colonel Sherrill of the Office of Public Buildings and Grounds and also aid to President Harding testi fied before the House Appropria-1 tions Committee that he found it j hard to make the demands fit the allowance. ' "In all these cases we simply give the White House everything that t:i: money provided will afford," he said. "Mrs. Harding, of course, is doing a great "deal more entertaining, and we are having a hard time making ends meet and get enough flowers, be cause a lady does not appreciate how much money is involved. They see the White House decorated, and so on, and they just call for flowers, and so on, and we must provide them. "The position is such that I am criticised if I do not provide all of the flowers and decorations called for. It does not make any difference whether I have the money or not. I have got to get the flowers, that is all. So, sometimes we have had to send fifteen or twenty miles out in the country, and get decorations from places like Camp Humphreys to take the places of flowers leaves and branches of trees and so on. Colonel Sherrill also said that at a recent dinner for the arms confer ence delegates the flowers at the White House cost $300 or $400, but if ihey had been bought on the open market they would have cost $1,500, according to the head gardener at the Executive Mansion The value of the bulbs and plants cut during a year is $42,000, said Colonel Sherrill., PRESBYTERIANS DESIGNATE WEEK FOR OFFERINGS The progressive program in the Southern Presbyterian church has fixed February 12-19 as a week of prayer, preaching and self-denial for the cause of foreign missions. Local members of that church have been notified that during this period spe cial offerings will be made for this cause. " .' . .

(By M. L. Shipman) Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 23. Mrs. Josephus Daniels, state chairman of The Woodrow Wilson Foundation, says good reports on the progress of the campaign to raise North Caro lina's quota are coming in frsm va rious sections of the State. Bad weather during the greater part of last week prevented expected results, but the hope is expressed that the work will continue until the $35,000 alloted to the State is in hand. The large number of contributors is pleasing the Chairman, although some donations are small, for it in dicates that those of limited means appreciate the fine spirit which prompted this lasting memorial to America's greatest benefactor. The matter has not been pressed, it being the wish of those in charge of the movement that the amount proposed be raised by voluntary donations. Drive after drive, for one cause after another, have been made in Raleigh and elsewhere recently and the end is not yet. This renders more difficult the effort to raise the amount asked for the Wilson Foun dation. The Chamber of Commerce, The Y. M. C. A., the Near East Re lief Committee, Associated Charities, The Salvation Army, The Red Cross, and other organizations have recent ly called upon the people here for assistance and the Jewish Relief drive is now in progress. It is not surprising, therefore, that contribu tions have not found their way in greater volume to The Wilson Foun dation headquarters. However, the opportunity to enlist, as a member of Tta Foundation" will not "lie' with drawn until North Carolina has fully sustained her reputation for "going over the top." Raleigh is pleased with the news that the Wachovia Bank and Trust Company, of Winston-Salem, now operating branches in Asheville, Sal isbury and High Point, proposes to include this city in its list and will begin business as soon as quarters in the Pullen Building have been com pleted. Mr. Gilbert T. Stephenson, a vice-president of the company is to be in charge of the Raleigh branch. The capital city is already support ing seven banking institutions, with deposits of $15,000,000 on January first. But Col. F. H. Fries, president of the mother institution in Winston Salem, feels that there is room for another, and his good judgment is universally acknowledged in business circles. If Raleigh is not already the financial center of the State, it is likely to become so in the near fu ture. Commissioner of Revenue Watts holds that all state officials from the Governor down must pay income tax this year. The Commissioner has is sued the following statement: "The commissioner of revenue holds that under the income tax pro vision of the state constitution and the statute enacted in pursuance thereof, all officials of the state, in cluding justices of the Supreme and judges of the Superior courts, are required to list and pay income tax on their salaries. The commis sioner holds that this matter has never been decided by the Supreme court. The case of Purnell vs. Page, 133 N. C, 125, does not decide it. The only question presented in that case was the right of the state to tax the salary of a federal judge. The right of the state to tax its own judges and other officials was not be fore the courts, and was not argued. The state was not a party or re presented by its attorney general. What is said in the opinion on the subject of taxing salaries of the state judges and officials was merely an obiter dictum only the views of the writer of the opinion." The statement of Commissioner Watts brings no additional burden to the heads of departments created by the Legislature. They have been listing and paying income tax for some years and do not expect to be the beneficiaries of any special privilege. The "drag net" thrown out by Mr. Watts, whose opinion is clearly sustained by the constitution and laws of the State, will catch Su preme court justices, Superior court judges and, perhaps, some of the constitutional officers. But they ought to pay this tax the same as other folks. BAIN-PITTILLO Miss Louise Bain and Sidney Pit tillo were married Wednesday noon at theShome of Rev. R, N. Pratt who officiated.

M. Oates and G. T. Whitlock Buy Controlling Interest in Silk Hosiery Mill. The controlling interest in the Harkins, Hammack, Whitlock Co., manufacturersof silk hosiery, has been recently purchased by R. M. Oates, now president of the com pany, and G. T. Whitlock, secretary- -manager. The mill, which is located near the Southern tracks in East Hendersonville, was opened here several years ago, and has grown with incredible rapidity. It was not long after its start that the amount of business transacted warranted the removal to a building of larger dimensions, and even now plans are being formulated for enlarging the mill to a considerable extent. The Harkins, Hammack, Whitlock silk hosiery mill it is realized by many, will be a great asset to this town in the course of time. Under the management of Senator Oates and Mr. Whitlock they will, as Mr. Whitlock aptly expresses it: "Make things hum-ding." Mr. Whitlock gave out the interesting statement that they had orders for as far as a year ahead and were doing an ex traordinary amount of business at present. In their work-room the rows of intricate machinery are bus ily turning out pair after pair of fine silk stockings and as rapidly as possi ble these are shipped to their des tination. The room itself is large and well lighted and ventilated by many large windows, a most agree able place to work. Enthusiasm prevails at all times, for the business is new and is taking seven-league strides towards the success the future holds forth. It will not be long until there are triple the number of machines that are used at present.
