At the close of the meeting the re- xecords showed that 8 Sunday School «i bMn represented in the meeting. Among Uiose present were 6 pastors, 4 Superintendents, S2 teachers, the total attendance being about 200 peo The State Sunday School Associa tion was represented by Mr. D. W, Sims -and Miss Flora Davis of Ra- kigh. The addresses of these two workers were said to be very interest Sng and instructive. The plans and purposes of the State Sunday Sch^l Association were represented by Mr. Sims in a most comprehensive way. In speaking of the work of the State Sunday School Association Mr. Sims said it seeks helpful co-opera tion, not union. Its conventions and institutes discuss methods of work; not church doctrines. The Conven tions held under the auspices of tht; State and County Associations are i for our Business Mens’ OrgantzsCtran free schols of methods open to ^11 to take up with the proper autfaori- who attend.

I am very glad to make this state ment in behalf of our merchants and will sidd that the majority of them have proven to me that their profits are not unreasonable, and that due to tbe absence of a local wholesale htrase they have to pay freiglit and drayage while Hendersonville and Asheville enjoy the advantage of bav ing their goods delivered to the door free of chargfe.
