better manhood, making patriotic
Americans, and at the same, time to
maintain, a well equipped and well
trained reserve ' for emergencies.
The business men of the town can
assist the government in this patrio

PARENT-TEACHER BANQUET
Rarplv has our town enioved so
delightful an occasion as that of the
. reception given by the Parent-
Teacher's Association on Tuesday
evening at the Hodgewell- hotel.
By half past eight the lobby p.nd
parlors were thronged with the tea -
rhers. the narents and those inter
ested in our schools. The utmost
harmony and kindly cordiality were
everywhere in evidence. Many spoke
of it as the most interesting and
pleasant meeting ever given by the
organization.
It was a genuine "get-together
occasion, and no doubt both parents
and teachers nqw have a deeper in
terest in each other, and a better
understanding of thfr important work
The private dining room had been
reserved for those present, but it
proved inadequate for the numbers
and so Mr. Gilliard promptly had
several tables arranged in the regu
lar dining room of the hotel.
About 160 guest were served to
delicious chicken salad, pickles,
crackers and coffee. The refresh
ments were made and - served by
numerous ladies of the community.
Mr. Gilliard, proprietor of the
Hodgewell, most ' courteously and
efficiently aided the ladies in mak
ing the reception an unqualified suc
cess. : :;:-'r .;. '
Outing the evening vocal and in
strunfental selections Were rendered
by accomplished musicians.,
. In the dining room Mr. Honeycutt
called for short speeches from both
' ladies and gentlemen,' and these were
given with the spirit and enthusiasm
which the occasion merited m
It is scarcely saying too much to
add that every guest departed with
the earnest hope that .such another
pleasant event will be enjoyed in the
t near future. ,

Raleigh has been anxious the past

the bedside of State Treasurer B. R.
a .
juacy wno oecame seriously m en-
route to New York several davs asro
for the purpose of signing and de
livering a large issue of North Caro
lina bonds to recent purchasers in
that city. Josebh G. Brown, Presi
dent of the Citizens National Bank
of this city, accompanied Mr. Lacy
on the mission, was with him in the
Pullman when the attack came and
stuck by his sick friend until im
provement was shown in his condi
tion. From the train the stricken
official was taken to the Pennsyl
vania Hotel, New York, where lie
lingered for hours between life and
death. At this writing slight im
provement in his condition is report
ed. Mrs. Lacy has been with him
for more than a week. 1
Although sick nigh unto death,
Treasurer Lacy insisted upon fulfill
ing the mission, which had taken him
from home when he should have re
mained in bed, and was permitted to
sign a large batch of the bonds in
the sick chamber. This official act
was performed at the risk of his life,
but he was determined to keep his
engagement with the New York
bankers who had previously named a
final date for the delivery of the
North Carolina bonds and bull-dog
tenacity enabled him to "keep the
faith." Mr. Brown, in the mean
time, succeeded in arranging for a
later date for the signature and de
livery of the bonds the State Treas
urer had been unable to sign and the
brave official collapsed on receiving
information that further exertion on
; his part was not necessary. A re

The Hendersonville Kiwanis club
officially came into being Saturday
night at the Hodgewell hotel, when
E. E. Wheeler, lieutenant Kiwanis
governor, presented the charter and
formerly welcomed the club in the
swelling ranks of international Ki
wanis. .
Kiwanian Mayor J. Mack, Rhodes
presided and handled the gavel with
ms usual dispawn. invocation was
asked by Kiwanian A. W. Farnum,
Episcopal rector. "Hendersonville's
Need of Kiwanis" was the subject
of the opening address, with Dr. Wm.
R. Kirk, as the speaker. In a splen
did address he clearly showed that
the organization was needed to in
still a spirt of fellowship and radiate'
gooa cneer ana optimism in me
metropolis of Henderson county.
Musical selections by Mrs. Mick f ,
Jones. Mrs. Frank A. EWbank and
Miss Virginia Siler were outstanding
features of the charter presentation

ed with the musical numbers, invited
the musicians to be the guests of the
Asheville club March 10 and the in
vitation was accepted. Transporta
tion will be furnished.
TO ERECT MEMORIAL HALL
At a meeting of the heads of the
various women's organizations Mon
day afternoon at the City Hall the
building of a memorial hall to the
soldiers of Henderson county was
discussed at some length. Mrs. J. W.
Williams, president of the Woman's
Auxiliary of the American Legion,
and originator of the idea, presided
over the meeting and presented the
views of the Auxiliary. The desire
for such ' a hall seems to be unani
mous with all the clubs but details
have yet to be worked out. The
.question as to whether the hall
should belong exclusively to the wo
men's organizations or include those
of the men is yet to be settled. The
leaders of " the movemelft "would ap
preciate expressions of opinion from
any interested person and any and
all members of the various men's
and women's organizations in the
city.

B. F. Staton Declares Commissioners'
Records Do Not Give Full
Account.
Editor The Times:
A few weeks ago you published, a
letter from me, in which I referred
to certain statements made by the
County Commissioners, and in which
I asked the Commissioners to answer
several specific questions relating to
important county affairs. '
In your issue of last week, there
appears an "interview" with Com
missioner Bane, referring to my let
ter, and Mr. Bane is quoted as say
ing that "the Board would engage in
no newspper controversy over mat
ters in regard to which a complete
record existed in the files and min
utes of the Commissioners' official
meetings and to which the whole
public had unobstructive access."
Since Mr. Bane himself began the
"controversy" by publishing a very
inn .i,, .tt i
papers it geems 8trange indeed that
he should now suffer a sudden at-
tack of modesty and discover that
he is averse to newspaper contro
versies, nor to personalities.
His interview does not answer the
questions asked him, nor does it tell
the public where all the information
asked for- may be obtained. The
"files and minutes of the Commis
sioners official meetings" do NOT
show in detail the expenditures that
have been made on the Court House,
neither do they disclose the pres
ent whereabouts of various official
county records that are supposed to
be kept in the office of the Register
of Deeds, but which are now absent
from their place of legal custody,
and are reported to be beyond the
limits of the State.
And even if some of the informa
tion asked for" in my letter could be
obtained by a more or less intricate
search of those records which the
Commissioners have allowed still to
remain in the Court House, the pub
lic generally is not skilled in making
these searches; and it would seem
that Mr. Bane ought to be glad to
give such information freely and
voluntarily.
Those who know the facts, and
who also know Mr. Bane, may not
be surprised at his attitude in trying
tn cnt off the controversy. But he

spokesman", and to say that I of all
men was most bitter in my denuncia
tion of the commissioners' order to
have the county books audited, and
that I denounced the investigation in
most unmeasured terms.
I am not surprised that Bane s in

AMERICAN LEGION
SHOW FRIDAY NIGHT
The American legion announces
that everything is in readiness for
their production "All a Mistake" at
the city hall, Friday night, March
3rd, at 8:15 p. m.
Nothing has been omitted by
Director Penny in his efforts to make
this production supreme among home
talent shows. The theme of the play
is such as to hold the audience in
an air of mystery and suspense from
the beginning to the "finale."
The proceeds will be turned over
to the local chapter of the American
Red Cross to be applied to the sup
port of the county nurse. The cast,
under Mr. Penny, is making every
effort to make good the legion's sub
scription to the county (nurse fund,
and to insure the public's reception
of value received for their money.
It is not the policy of the American
legion to raise money by public sub
scription, it being the established
rule that when it becomes necessary
to raise funds with when to carry
on the work of the organization
something must be given in exchange
for every dollar received from the
public. -The local post of the Ameri
can legion has invariably followed
this rule! When called upon to con
tribute towards the securing of a
full time county nurse the legion
recognized and accepted, an oppor
tunity to assist in an undertaking,
the meritoriousness of which, none
can question, and, at the same time,
furnish some clean amusement for
the people of Hendersonville during
the dull winter months.
In this connection, the legion
wishes, also, to announce that on
June 10th its third annual ministrel
will be presented at the city hall.

Farmers' Auction Sale To Be Held
Near City Hall on Morning
of Sale Day.
Hendersonville's first Golden Rule
Sales Day will be held Monday,
March 6, with practically every busi
ness house participating.
A word of explanation as to the
purpose and origin of the Golden
Rule Sales Day and the Henderson
ville Ad Club will not be amiss here.
The Hendersonville Ad Club is com
posed of the progressive and wide
awake merchants of Hendersonville
who see prosperity in co-operation,
not only among themselves, but with
the buying public. They have join
ed together in an advertising club
known as the Hendersonville Ad
Club, the purpose of which is to in
crease the volume of business for
the merchants and at the same time
enable them to offer merchandise to
the public at attractive prices. Thus
both profit by the plan.
In accordance with this plan, once
every month every member of the
club will offer for sale, and adver
tise through the medium of circu
lars to be mailed to every person in
the county, two articles at specially
reduced prices. No two merchants
will advertise the same article on
the same sales day. The Henderson
ville Ad Club has appointed a com
mittee of responsible and capable
men to examine every article offered
and ascertain that it is not quoted
at above a rock-bottom price. This
system enables the purchaser to be
absolutely sure that he is getting
the full value for his money, for he
is able to know that each article ad
vertised is backed by the Henderson
ville Ad Club.
It is easy to see that no selfish
impulses are behind this plan, for it
militates to the advantage of both
merchant and buyer, and does more
than merely present an opportunity
for the people to save money. It
will increase business and prosperity
for everybody simply by putting
more money into circulation; it will
enable more debts to be paid, more
goods to be bought and more moncv
to be saved. Increased business for
one man always means increased
business for another.
mi. vi' i j . i a.
cub ai Line ul uicAiiiiiMuiaGt: ucuvc ic
is imperative, if one wishes to go
about the matter in a business-like
way, to read carefully what each
merchant advertises in the Golden
Rule Ad. Doing so will save time
and avoid confusion on the Sales
day.
Every bargain offered is guaran
teed and backed by the Henderson
ville Ad Club under whose auspices
it appears, unless otherwise stated.
The merchants who are making this
Sales day possible are the live pro
gressive merchants of Henderson
ville, the men who are doing what
thev can to build up the town and
the year, rney are tne men wno
will appreciate your patronage and
they deserve it.
It is the Ad Club's intention to mail
the Sales day sheet to every family
in the Hendersonville trade territory;
if you are not receiving your copy
notify the Secretary of the Club, P.
L. Wright, and your name will be
placed on the mailing list and the
Sales day sheet will reach you regu
larly hereafter.
Will Hold Auction Sale For
Benefit of Farmer.
A feature of the Golden Rule
Sales day which should have a strong
appeal to the farmers of the county
is the Auction Sale of any articles
the farmers wish to dispose of,
which will be held in the morning
in the vacant lot next to the City
Hall.
It is extremely easy to enter this
proposition. All the farmer needs
do is to bring his artirle or articles
to be sold and an experienced auc
tioneer will do the rest. This plan
is devised to enable the farmer to
dispose of goods for which he has no
further need, to find a ready market
for his produce and to acquire such
goods as he may need himself.
It is almost a certainity that every
farmer has something such as a
plow, a horse, or a pig it is useless
