Rod. and uun ciud met in the mayors office Monday night, and decided that they could work to better advantage, if recognized by the national anglers league. They, therefore, decided by unanimous vote, to organize the Henderson county chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America. All officers of the gun and rod club were elected officers of the chapter. Ihe otticers are: K. L. Ewbank, president; Frank Edwards, vice pres ident; W. C. Rector, secretary, and G. F. Jones, treasurer. A board of directors was elected iit the meeting Monday night, as fol lows: E. L. Ewbank, Frank Edwards, W. C. P.-ctor, G. F. Jones, W. W. Walker, J. B. Reese and G. W. Just ice. A committee on constitution and by-laws was appointed, and is com posed of the following gentlemen: W. C. Rector, G. W. Brooks and W. Wt Walker. The membership committee is composed of G. W. Brooks, G. F. Jones and W. F. Israel. . The following proposals for mem bership in the chapter were received and referred to the membership committee, who will report at the next meeting of the chapter: Father Marion, Carroll P. Rogers, Lieuten ant Woodward and Leonard Tren holm. It is the purpose of the chapter organized Monday night to work along the same lines at the Izaak Walton National League, whose headquarters is Chicago. This chap ter will endeavor to promote by pre cept and example the highest stand ards of sportsmanship in angling and hunting. It will strive to increase good fellowship among fishermen and hunters everywhere, and to encour age the use of proper hunting and fishing equipment. The fish and game laws it will exert every means to see are enforced. Dynamiting and seining are especially condemn ed. Rewards will be offered for con victions of persons who may be caught dynamiting and seining in the streams of the county. Persons al lowing sawdust to run in the creeks and rivers will be prosecuted if they do not stop the practice. Every effort will be put forth to see that all laws intended for the protection of game and fish are strictly enforced, and all persons are cordially invited to cooperate with the chapter to this end. The local chapter will endeavor to have a fish hatchery established at some suitable point in the 10th con gressional district. Congressman Weaver has a bill before congress now asking for an appropriation for ths purpose. But before suchf ap propriation can be procured a move has to, be made by the people of the whole district they must manifest an interest and see that laws for the protection of fish are enforced. A little later petitions will be circulated among the people asking that con gress make the necessary appropria tion f or a hatchery at some point in the ; western , district. Boards of county commissioners, chambers of commerce and all similar organiza tions . wilt be asked to endorse the move for a fish hatcheryf and bit (Continued on Page 12 - t ffilffi I Enthusiastic Speeches Made By Mc D. Ray, C. P. Rogers, A. Cannon, J. Foy Justice and Others.. V: MOST POPULAR COUNTY TICKET Representative -C. P. Rogers. Sheriff J. H. Ballanger. Register of Deeds J. O. Wil liams. Tax Collector W. P. Whit mire. Coroner Dr. J. S. Brown. County Surveyor George Lyda. County Commissioners C W. Justice, J. P. Fletcher, Gaither Rhodes. Confidence, born of the fact that the people of the county are looking to them for relief, was the key note of the democratic convention at the courthouse last Saturday. The democrats made plain their de termination to present a ticket com posed of capable business men with the experience and courage to pilot the affairs of the county clear of high taxes and inefficiency and sup port their words by their actions in recommending candidates for the election this fall. Before the candidates were nomi nated, and during the nominating,, ringing speeches were made by some of the champions of efficiency. In his opening address, E. W. Ewbank, county chairman, stated that 15 years of misgovernment had dis gusted the republicans, and that everyone looked to the democrats to put out a ticket of capable business men for whom they could vote. In speaking before the nominations, MacD. Ray warned the convention that they must select the kind of men that would make a vigorous campaign. In past years, he said, the democratic nominees had often been too hastly chosen. J. Foy Justice declared that "it is a matter of patriotism for some one to take charge of the county and run it in a business-like way." The first candidate to be recom mended for nomination in the pri maries this June was C. P. Rogers, of Flat Rock, nominated by MacD. Ray for state legislature. The nom ination was unanimous. Mr. Rogers made a very pretty speech thanking the assembly for their confidence in placing the stan dard of democracy in his hands. Organization was the point stressed by Mr. Rogers, who stated that suc cess could only be obtained by working together. The convention next voted on the county commissioners, nominating George Justice, Hendersonville; Gaither Rhodes, Mills River, and J. P. Fletcher, of Fletcher. On a mo tion by A. Cannon the nomination was made unanimous. The name of C. E. Brooks was suggested for county commissioner, but on account of his heavy business duties and banking affiliations it was requested that his name be withdrawn. The men recommended for com missioners made short but forceful speeches of acceptance, pledging themselves to make any sacrifice for a better government. In the ab sence of Gaither Rhodes, Curtis Ar ledge, as a representative of Mills River, made one of the best speeches of the day, indorsing Mr. Rhodes and the two other nominees. For sheriff, J. H. Ballenger was recommended to make the race, MacD. Ray, who nominated Mr. Bal lenger, told how Mr. Ballenger had arrested two county commissioners on his first day as a policeman, and stated that a man who would do that would certainly fulfil the duties of sheriff to the letter of the law. J. O. Williams received the nomi nation for register of deeds by a unanimous vote. For tax collector, W. P. Whitmire was nominated. Mr. Whitmire stated that he saw no reason in the world why the tax books could not be completely balanced, at the end of each day, and that a statement of the county's funds could be se cured at any time within 60 minutes if due efficiency were exercised, to which he pledged himself if elected. Dr. J. S. Brown was nominated for coroner on the motion of Chief of Police Otis Powers. George Lyda, of Edneyville, at the recommendation of J. Foy Justice, was indorsed as county surveyor.' The matter of the election of de legates to the congressional and judical convention was next brought up. r or ine , juaiciai : cuaveuuvu, Michael Schenck, A. Y. Arledge and J. F. Shipman were named. - C. C. . McCall, C. P. Rogers, A. M. Maxwell, S. Y. Bryson, MacD. Ray and others who might wish to attend, were 1 " elected. ' v. A hot debate arose over the y motion to recommend Professor , Morgan for the board of education. It was pointed out that as the office , j was not political, a democratic con-; vention should not recommend him, . but as this was the only meeting t which he could be recommended, the. ; motion carried. - " l-' - . A well -worded and timely resolu- . tion indorsing all the actions of the -democratic party was presented by W P, Whitmire, read by the' secre- -tary, J Foy Justice, and adopted. 1 The last business of the conven tion . was the election ot cou-ty ; chairman and precinct - chair::. it. --(Continued on Page 12 y i I
