RATIONAL COUNTY CLUB I IDEA ORIGINATED HERE r resident of National Association Tells Ashe ville Audience of Founding of Ruther ford County Club. Asheville, Sept. I.—"The Ruther tord County club was the original •ounty club and North Carolina was he first state in which any organized activity was begun by counties, this leading to the National County clubs organizations," John E. Cecil, presi dent of the National Service organi zation Washington, D. C., said Sat urday. Mr. Cecil arrived in Asheville Friday night to confer with Robert R, Reynolds, Asheville attorney, rela tive to the organization of the Bun combe County club, which was start led last week. Mr. Cecil has made an extensive J.D.WELLS Henrietta And North Avondale ' « Just Received Direct from The Miltex Dress Makers of New York City a Large Assortment of LATEST STYLED SILK DRESSES.

Wells Henrietta And North Avondale study of civic matters and during last year assisted various civic or ganizations in drives and campaigns all over the United States. The Na tional Service organization, taking the idea of the Rutherford County club, is now promoting this in all counties in the Southern States. The plan is meeting with widespread ap proval, since the farmers have al ways been denied any form of or ganization of group expression, Mr. Cecil said. Active Six Years. The Rutherford County club has j been active for six and one-half \ years and a study of its work has j proven that it is an excellent organ ization, Mr. Cecil said. During the | past two and one-half months there have been clubs started in the fol lowing counties: Henderson, Transyl jvania, Haywood, Madison, Yancey, j Mitchell, McDowell, Gaston, Catawba j Iredell, Lincoln, Burke, Cleveland and Buncombe. Clubs have also been j organized during this time in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, | Maryland and Pennsylvania and Mr. i Cecil explained that before Christ imas clubs will be organized in every | State west of New York City and least of the Mississippi river, j "The County club idea has been I the best received one of any organ ization I have ever handled," Mr. Cecil said. He explained that the county as a governmental unit comes closer to the citizens and tax payers than any other agency and until the present time there has been no agency to study the county as a whole. It is an old need and ; has long been felt by taxpayers, it was explained, and this accounts for j the fine reception of the County' club idea. ' j Benefits Many. Mr. Cecil said that the benefits will be to bring together factions which have never before been known to cooperate and to give the farmer and county citizen an opportunity to work with the residents of the city civic clubs. It has also been designed to protect the tapaxyers, to encourage better schools and high ways, as well as agriculture, and to see that the county gets its rightful share of any such appropriations as may be voted by the State. j The county club is non-political in every sense of the word, it was pointed out. It is not for farmers exclusively, but for county citizens and urban business men. The mem bership will run about two-thirds farmers and one-third business and professional men. President Hoover's farm board has pointed out that every phase of American business is ever-organized except the agricul tural interests, the farmers, who have never realized or acted. Mr. Cecil believes that the plight of the American farmer is due to the fact that he has never organized.

It will be one of the principal works of the County club to investi gate any such expenditures in every county effected, officials have said. State Body. Mr. Cecil said that after 20 coun ties have been organized in North Carolina, a State association will be organized, and by next spring enough states will have been or ganized to form the national body. The first national convention will be held in Washington, D. C. The of ficial organ of the County clubs or ganization will be "The County's Business," a magazine devoted to the best interests of the county life and business written by experts in vari ous lines from universities of the north and south.
