V We wonder What Miss Emily
Hill would My If It were possible
(or her to come back to Falson to
day. II God has given her the pow
er to look down upon the compla
cent village she knew so well Is
she pleased or is she disappointed
in what folks have dona to the little
village? We'll never know nor
should it matter so much just as
long as we feel that we have a clear
conscience and can honestly say,
"I am doing my best, as a resident
of Falson, to make it more beau
tiful and happier place in whioh
to live."
Along about the beginning of the
20th century there came a family
of people here to live from another
part of. the country. The only in
formation I could get was that
they cum here from the West
Their names were Mr. and Mrs.
Will McCullen. Mr. McCullen was
a member of the firm that estab
lished the big sawmill at Bowden
which later became Rowland Luai-

; Mr. McCullen was part owner or
large mill and I imagine he was
a rather wealthy man but it was
Mrs. (McCullen who was destined!
to play part In the history of
Falson. Aa a stranger coming to
little southern town to live, 1 Im
agine she found life here rather
dull. People her didnt take on to
strangers any too well. She liked
clubs and finding no clubs to at
tend her set about to organise
one to her liking. Her Interest was
centered around chautauquat and
the literary aspects of the study of
the Chautauqua appealed to Miss
Emily Hill. It was not hard to per
suade Miss Emily, a lady interested
in art, poetry and literature, to or
ganise a club here for the study
of art and literature mad up of the
society ladles of the town. News
papers were not plentiful at that
time and with no radios and tele
phones it gave the ladles an op
portunity to exchange 'Views" con
cerning the current topics of the
day as well as artistic and poetic
views. Some of we men would like
to call the so-called "views" gos
sip out we couia not siiora to ne
so harsh since several of the ladle
are atill living. ;
The new club met about once a
month In the homes of different
members and waa restricted to 20
members. It waa named "The 8e
same Club", from the words "Op
en Sesame" in the tale of "All
Baba and the Forty Thieves". Its
primary Interest waa the study of
art, poetry and literature. Its ac
complishments were many and the
recognition given its members has
been widespread since Its organi
sation in 1906. . .
In 1909 it was federated Into the
North Carolina Federation of Wo
man's clubs and a little later into
the National Federation of Woman's
Clubs and thus became one of the

first North Carolina clubs to be
come affiliated with the national
organization. It is one of the oldest
clubs in North Carolina .that has
continued to exist under the same
name since its organization. With
the federation, the Interests of the
club became diffused somewhat in
to other endeavors for town better
ment but still held In to its original
artistic and literary study suffi
ciently adequate to continue to at
tain numerous honors in this field.

program at this time and is at
tracting the attention or numerous
lunnia fpnm other towns and com
munities. Under theleadershlp of
these clubs the townspeople are
faiiintf into the swing of" things.
Thv arA furnishing tne stimulus
to awake a long dormant spark of
pride in the home town.
I have often heard it said that
the people of Falson were satisfied
with the way things were but I
certainly will have to disagree with
the reputation we have won in the
past I, in all my travels and liv
ing in other towns, have never
usn cnMi a mlendld snlrlt of co
operation shown by any group of
people and the town is reaiiy un
dergoing a face lifting.
The club has sold hundreds of
azaleas and dogwood plants to the
home owners for planting and the
business placea of town have torn
down the ugly tin sneas over me
front of their stores on main street
and In many instances erected new
awnings to replace them. The State
and Atlantic Coast une Kaiiroaa
seems to have fallen Into the spirit
of things, although this, has been
planned for some time previous,
and are paving tne street parauei
to the railroad from the sidewalk
to the railroad through the main
part of town. A petition lor more
changes has been circulated and
signed by many for more and more
changes. We hear a alight dissent
Ion now and then from a resident
but after he considers the Improve
ment he can make to the appear
ance of the town by making the
change asked for he will readily
fall into the swing of things and
make that change.
Little did Misa Emily visualize
nearly half a century ago when she
organized the little club for the
study of literature and art that the
same club would help kindle tne
nark that would bring all the
oeonle . of Falson closer, together
than they have ever been brought
before into a concentrated cuu
to make this "our home town" a
more beautiful place in which to
live. ... v-,
I wonder. If she were here, what
her reactions would be.
