KiWANIANS HOLD
JOINT MEETING
Forest City Entertains Ruther
fordton, Victors in Volley
Ball Series
Some few weeks ago the Ruth
erfordtori and Forest City Kiwanians
played a championship series of vol
ley ball, the losers to entertain the
victors. Rutherfordton emerged an
easy winner, so the local club had
them come down Monday evening
and meet in joint session with them
and enjoy the program and splendid
supper prepared by Mrs. R. R. Blan
ton.
Despite the inclemency of the
weather, a goodly number of the
neighboring Kiwanians attended, and
the event was enjoyed by all pres
ent. Rev. G. R. Gillespie welcomed
the visitors in a most hearty manner,
turning the keys of the city (with
Mayor Flack's permission), over to
the guests. Mr. Gillespie stressed the
friendship, co-operation and fellow
ship existing between the two clubs
and the great good resulting there
from. Then the good doctor went in
to a "pipe dream", superinduced by
his great fervency, and pictured his
vision of a great city on Rutherford
Boulevard to be known as Ruther
ford City, embracing the towns of
Rutherfordton, Spindale, Forest City
and Alexander, all combined into one
great metropolis. A "dream" to be
sure, brought about by the good fel
lowship existing between these grow
ing cities and their good work of
pulling together for all advancement
of our great county.
Judge 0. C. Erwin very graceful
ly responded to Dr. Gillespie. As his
wont, he was in jovial mood and his
inimitable wit was on tap. He jok
ingly twitted the volley ball players
—Dr. Duncan's efforts in particular,
declaring that the winners could not
claim much honor due to the poor
opposition. The Judge then relapsed
into a more serious vein and declar
ed the visitors' pleasure at being
with the local club.
Mayor Chas. Z. made a short
talk on Boy Scout work, followed by
President Reinhardt called attention
to the approaching Chautauqua. He
stated that he knew, from seeing both
of them, that the five day circuit
was equaJ to the seven and that the
program for Forest City this year
was the best ever offered here.
Prof. Chas. C. Erwin called at
tention to games of baseball to be
played by the Forest City Hi, while
President Heinhardt called attention
to the community singing to be held
here.
Prof. Chas. C. Erwin had charge
of the program for Forest City. He
is to be congratulated upon having
for the delectation of the guests
some of the city's best musicians,
Miss Katherine Goggans and Mr. and
Mrs. Abe Glickman. Their numbers

A FEW THOUGHTS ON
THE CAMPAIGN
Two associations raised consider
ably over one hundred thousand dol
lars, although having building and
other debts on hand. Would have
been considered impossible a few
years ago. The awakening of the
Baptist to education. Half a century
ago an educated Baptist preacher a
rarity. Were looked down upon and
ridiculed as ignorant. Today, with
first class colleges and universities
all over the land, and with an edu
cated ministry second to none. All
this has been possible through organ
ization and the enthusiastic support
of the various organizations of the
church. Many churches claiming to
be Missionary Baptists still hold aloof
from the various educational move
ments. They do not prosper. They
do not receive the spiritual and ma
terial blessings they should receive
if they would do away with preju
dice and take part in these educa
tional and progressive movements.
The ladles of the First Baptist
church are to be congratulated on
the easy iand charming manner in
which they served the luncheons to
so large a crowd.
Dr. Mercer charmed with this
quaint, genial and philosophical style.
Dr. Adams always has something to
say and in a keen, decisive and di-
