NUMBER 40
HENDERSON VILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY. AUG. 4, 1922
FIVE CENTS COPY
KIWANIS CLUB HEARS
CHICAGO SECRETARY
Kiwanians Hear Secretary of Associ-'
ation of Commerce, of City
of Chicago.
Hendersonville Kiwanians , and a
number of visitors heard Mr. Farns
worth, the executive secretary of the
Association of Commerce of the city
, of Chicago, at the luncheon held this
week at Duncraggan Inn, situated a
little out of the city limits on the
slope of a small ridge, from which
there is a beautiful view of the Blue
Ridge mountains. -
Miss Virginia Fox was the honor
guest of the Kiwanians Thursday,
and was introduced by Chester Glenn.
Mr. Farnsworth outlined the plans
of the Chamber of Commerce of
Hendersonville for the three-year
campaign, and told how things are
handled in Chicago. There will be
a new system adopted by the Cham
ber of Commerce, that is in opera
tion in many of the larger cities.
According to this system, there will be
no "standing committees." It is Mr.
Farnsworth's opinion . that all such
committees ever did was to stand,
leaving the secretary to stand on his
head. Two members from every pro
fession represented in the city will
be chosen, and two from every busi
ness. These will meet every two
weeks. This method has been found
very successful in Chicago, said Mr.
Farnsworth.
There will be another change made.
No members will be admitted who
cannot pay their dues. Paper mem
berships are not of much value when
there is work to be done.
In speaking of the work the Cham
bers of Commerce are doing and
have done all over the United States,
Mr. Farnsworth stated that had it
not been for these chambers, the
United States would never have
weathered the world war.
He mentioned the fact that there
are few members of the Kiwanis,
Chamber of Commerce or any other
organizations that are really giving
service. The secretary is the mouth
piece, but he cannot do all the work,
he said.
The condition of the Henderson
county sector of the -Asheville road
brought forth comment from the
Chicago secretary. In his opinion,
this is a disgrace to the county.
The pageant which will be held the
14th of this month was discussed,
and it was announced by Mr. Farns
worth that a man from New York
would be here shortly to direct this
pageant. The members of the
Chamber of Commerce will dine at
the Carolina Terrace on that night,
to celebrate the launching of the
three-year campaign, and the pageant
will be held after the banquet.
Cards were issued those present,
"service pledges," for The Hender
sonville ' of Tomorrow." These
pledges called for two hours' work
on August 15th and 16th, from 9:30
to 12:00 o'clock. The exact program
of the work on these days was not
announced.
Colonel Woodward, principal of
C. M.-N. A., made an extemporaneous
speech that was timely and to the
point. He spoke of his ideals for
Hendersonville, the growth of C. M.
N. A. from an enrollment of 35 to
is present roster of over 100. The
need of good roads, the dire need of
good light and power, and good ad
vertising, were, discussed by him. He
stated that in 25 years, he expected
to see a city of 35,000 or 50,000.
He believes that what we need now
more than anything is a good light
and power service.
Colonel Woodward invited the Ki
waAians to come to G. M. A. next
Thursday evening. After supper,
there will be a concert and a dance,
he said. It was unanimously voted
that the colonel's invitation be ac
cepted with thanks. Miss Fox and
her friends were also invited to at
' tend.
With a man of the wide exper
ience of Mr. Farnsworth giving his
aid to the project, the Chamber of
Commerce is more confident than
ever concerning the success of the
campaign just launched.
MILLS RIVER MILK
CO. IN TOMS' BLDG
Plans Being Made to Manufacture
Ice Cream in Near Future.
The Mills River Milk Company,
which formerly had its Henderson
ville headquarters with the Floral
Shop, on Fourth Avenue, is now lo
cated in the recently completed Toms
building at the depot.
The company is composed of sever
al prominent dairymen of Mills River
who market their product under the
name of the Mills River Milk Com
pany. On account of -the large
amount of milk delivered in Hen
dersonville, it wag found some time
ago expedient to establish a station
in this city from which the milk could
be delivered and from which people
could secure additional suplies of
milk or cream by calling for them.
The station here is in charge of
C. F. Fogel, and In its new quarters
will have several new features. It
will be possible to secure fresh cot
tage cheese from the depot station in
the near future, the manager states.
Another feature will be an ice cream
parlor operated in connection with
UttlX J uuotucooi'. Also vss vtvnui
busiaess may later be developed on a
, 1 xl 1. - a
large scale, bo uiut gteab tamuj
people can be served.
CHAUTAUQUA
WILL RETURN
Hendersonville Citizens Pledge Sup
port For Next Season.
Does Hendersonville want the Red
path Chautauqua back here nekt
summer?
This question was propounded be
tween the second and third acts of
"Friendly Enmies" Tuesday night,
and the answer received was encour
aging. The manager of the Chau
tauqua here spoke to the audience
about the possibility of having
another program here next summer.
He pointed out that to do so would
advertise Hendersonville and would
provide amusement for her visitors
that they woul appreciate. The mat
ter, he said, is entirely uo to the
Hendersonville people. If they want
if, they can have it. When he called
upon anyone in the audience who
desired to do so to speak on the sub
ject, W. F. Penny responded, and
expressed his own pleasure at having
the Chautauqua here and that of the
Chamber of Commerce. .A. W. Hon
eycutt spoke briefly, and called on
10 men to join in guaranteeing the
amount to get the Redpath people
here next year. His request was
quickly fulfilled, and there were
several ladies among the number
responding.
It is desired to get 10 more men
to pledge the amount which will bring
the Chautauqua back next summer,
in order that the burden may be
heavier on a few than on others. It
is thoueht that this can be done in
a few days, so it is practically ceW
tain the Redpath Chautauqua will be
here next summer.
The play, "Friendly Enemies",
lived up to all that has been said
about it. The two old German fa
thers succeeded in alternately rock
ing the house with laughter and hold
ing it tense in suspense. The play
is a lesson in patriotism that every
one should learn.
The last program of the Redpath
Chautauqua was rendered Wednes
day night to a packed house, and was
fully appreciated. The Dixie Duo
gave their program in the afternoon,
which consisted of some of the old
fashioned songs and some humorous
new ones. At the night program,
Mr. Knox, impersonator, delighted
his audience with his recitations and
rapid changes of appearance and
voice. The Dixie Duo gave short
programs before and after Mr.
Knor's recitations.
On the last night, it was definitely
announced by the director that the
Redpath Chautauqua would return to
Hendersonville next year, perhaps
for a five day's program.

MANY ARRIVING
FOR CONFERENCE
One Hundred and Fifty Presbyter
ians Are Enjoying Many Advan
tages at Bonclarken.
The Y. P. C. U. and Sunday School
conference of the Associate Re
formed Presbyterian Church opens
tonight at beautiful Bonclarken, the
assembly grounds of the church, lo
cated in Flat Rock, on the edge of
Highland Lake.
One hundred, and fifty Presby
terians have arrived to take ' the
courses offered and to find rest and
recreation among the beautiful sur
roundings of Bonclarken, which was
formerly known as Heidleburg, and
is one of the finest estates in Flat
Rock. At least 50 more are expect
ed to arrive tonight, find to accom
modate the huge crowd, the Bon
clarken management has been forced
to secure rooms elsewhere for many
of the guests.
The majority of those attending
the conference have made the trip
by automobile. Most of them come
from North and South Carolina, but
there are also some from Florida
and West Virginia, and it is expect
ed that there will be many from
otMer states before the conference
closes, which will be on the 12th of
this month.
While there are many courses of
instruction offered at the conference,
there will be plenty of time for re
creation. The surrounding terri
tory of Bonclarken offers many op
portunities for this, with Highland
Lake at the foot of the slope on
which the hotel is located, and the
many drives and walks around Flat
Rock. From the porch of the hotel
there is a view that is superb.
Sunday morning, the services at
Bonclarken will be in charge of Dr.
H. II. ' Sweet, and will be at 11:00
o'clock. Evening services will be at
8:00 o'clock.
The Bible conference will open
August 13th, and will close August
20th. This is in charge of Rev. S.
W. Reid. William Jennings Bryan
has been invited to speak at this con
ference. Flat Rock Property
Retains Same Value
At a meeting of the Henderson
county commissioners Wednesday
morning, the matter of the increase
or decreased valuation of the prop
erty on the Greenville highway, in
Flat Rock, came up. In view of the
fact that a restraining order was re
cently secured, which does not allow
the ' commissioners power over the
money derived from the sale of the
$590,000 bonds, they did not increase
the valuation of the property on the
Greenville road, which cannot now
be improved by the commissioners.
City girls are kicking against
having to wear long skirts again. Of
course kicking is easier when the
skirts are short.

Fayetteville next Monday for two
weeks of camp life and drill.

for the arrival of the battery, and
that he expects to give them a
pleasant ' time during their stay in

city represented at the encampment.
There are three other batteries com

spect the regiment.
The trip to Camp Bragg is at the
expense of the United States gov

their own expenses. The boys are
expecting a wonderful time on this
trip and are looking fine in their new
uniforms.
I CITY UNDERGOING
! CIVIC AWAKENING
Secretary Penney Enthusiastic Over
City's Prospects.
j "A civic awakening."
That's what a St. Petersburg, Fla.,
I booster and believer-in-his-home-I
town said today when he walked into
I the campaign headquarters of the
Chamber of Commerce and saw the
: activities of that busy office.
The campaign headquarters, by
the way, are located in the offices of
the Sanitary Laundry and Insurance
Man Edward M. Mixson, who said
they knew of no better way to
launch their new Kirk building quar
ters than to give, them a good civic
drubbing, and, accordingly, they in
vited Secretary Penney and his staff
to make use of their centrally located
suite.
Across the top of the front door is
stretched a flaming banner on which
is printed "Campaign Headquarters.
Greater Hendersonville Chamber of
Commerce."

I advantage next winter the. sum of
who happens to be one of the pub
licity directors of the Chamber of
Commerce in that city. "The past
year," he continued, "we spent
$15,000. Now we will have an addi
tional $11,000 for 1923. I hope to
see Hendersonville and St. Peters
burg closer together, and I am glad
to see all this energy you folks are

COMMITTEES ON
PAGEANTNAHED.
Mrs. F. A. Ewbanlc Heads Commit
tee In Charge of Pageant to be
Given August 14th.
At a meeting held in the Mayor's
office on Wednesday morning the
Committee which will direct the
great "Hendersonville of Tomorrow
Pageant" to be held at the Carolina
Terrace under the auspices of the
Chamber of Commerce, on Monday
evening, August 14th was formed as
follows, with Mrs. Frank A. Ewbank
as chairman.
The story and action of the Pag
eant were then read to the committee
which unanimously pronounced it
one of the most beautiful ever heard
here and the plan to have the various
business houses and other interests
of the city represented in the action
was received with special interest
and delight.
The following members of the
Committee volunteered to personally
enlist the interest of the business
men and merchants and to assist
them in every way possible in plan
ning for their part in the Pageant.
Mrs. F. A. Ewbank (Banks and
Insurance).
Mrs. Broaddus Estes (Dry Goods
Houses and Specialty Shops).
Mrs. John Forrest (Drug Stores
and Grocery Stores).
Mrs. Michael Schenck (Hardware
and Furniture).
Mrs. A. W. Honeycutt (Sunday
Schools).
The task of suggesting those who
will portray the symbolic figures in
the Pageant was then undertaken
with great enthusiasm and with one
or two exceptions the entire cast has
been completed. The director of the
Pageant met with the cast, on Thurs
day morning and parts were given
out with full directions as to cos-'
turning and action. It is the opinion
of the Director that his cast is a
perfect one and its publication in
our next issue will be awaited with
deep interest by the entire commun
ity. Today every business house, bank,
merchant, hotel, boarding house,
fraternal organization, club, in fact
every interest in Hendersonville will
receive an invitation to take part
and already several of our well
known stores have selected the young
women who. will represent them and
are planning' some real.'arpvises.
As a prize will be offered for the
costume most effectively represent
ing the business it is intended to
portray, there will be much friendly
rivalry which will add zest to the
affair.
Representation in the Pageant
however does not require fancy cos
tume by any means and it is the sin
cere desire that every single interest
in our city take an active part in the
event. Representatives may indulge
their own taste in the matter of dress
the only stipulation being that they
carry a banner or other indication
displaying the name and business of
the firm.
This is an opportunity for adver
tising ourselves to each other and
to our visitors of which there will be
many from adjoining towns in addi
tion to summer guests in the city and
every one should take advantage of
it, differing as it does from anything
ever seen here before.
The band of the Georgia Military
and Naval Academy through the
courtesy of Col. Woodward will fur
nish the music in addition to some
of our best known Hendersonville
musicians and singers.
Send your representative to the
Chamber of Commerce today for
complete instructions and for regis
tration so that the name of your
firm may be printed in the souvenir
program of the Pageant.

Boosters Lose To
Asheville 6 to 5
Asheville took the lead in yester
day's game, and held Manager
Moyer's men down all the way
through, with the exception of a bad
sixth innintr when some bone head
tyays almost threw Lhe game to Hen
dersonville. The lioobters had not
scored until this inning.
Beginning the inning, Smokey Joe
fanned Clayton, Moyer then hit one
over second, but the Skylander cen
terfielder, Justice, relayed the ball to

safe. An easy double play was spoil
ed by the same Justice when he drop
ped Shuford's second base fly.
Shuford, Pegram and Grisette did
the hitting for the Boosters. Pe
gram was responsible for a home run.
Shuford got on first three times, and
on all occasions, stole second.
