TRUCK WAR LOOMS AS BIG THREAT TO COUNTY FARMERS| (Continued from page on'.) ed the Western North Carolina pro ducers. It is recognized, however, that all resistance in the way of expressions1 of resentment are wasted, as the law is on the'books, and will be enforced until the law is either repealed or declared unconstitutional. It is feared that much of the fine crop now ma turing in Transylvania county will go to waste before anything can be done about the matter. Another feature of the law that is bound to .have detrimental effect up on Western North Carolina is the falling off in tourist business because of the ill feelings aroused through this state's enactment of the $60 law. South Carolina has been this county's greatest drawing card in the tourist business, and every effort is being made to convince South Caro lina people that the law is not ex pressive of the desires of the masses of people here. It is said that Rep resentative Henry, from this county, worked hard against passage of the law, as did almost all members of the legislature from the western part of the state. Following is a copy of the law that is playing such havoc in this section: Sec. 121 1-2 Peddlers of fruit and vegetables. (a) Any person, firm or corporaton who or which shall carry on the bus iness of selling or offering for sale fresh fish, fresh fruits and ? or vege tables, and who or which does not maintain a permanent place of bus iness in this State, shall apply for in advance and procure from the Com missioner of Revenue a State license for each truck operated, and shall pav for such license a tax of fifty dollars ($50.00). (b) This section shall not apply to those persons, firms or corporations selling or offering for sale fruits and ? or vegetables, if such fruits and ? or vegetables are grown in this State, or the fresh fish taken in the waters of the State. (c) Cities and towns may levy a li cense- tax on the business taxed in this section not in excess of that lev ied by the State. No county may levy any license tax under this section. (d) Any person, firm, or corpora tion violating any of the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be fined or imprisoned in the discretion of the court: Provided, that the fine shall not be less than twenty (20) per cent of the tax in addition to the tax and costs. (e) These license taxes are not to be prorated and are not transferable. NAME DELEGATES TO ATLANTA MEET Raleigh, July 22. ? Governor Gardner has appointed as delegates from this State to at tend the National Tax Association meeting in Atlanta, Ga., October 12 16, Chairman A. J. Maxwell and Secretary Fred W. Morrison, of the State Tax Commission; Senator J. A. Pritchett of Bertie county, and Representative A. D. MacLean, of Beaufort county. Suggestion was made that an in terpreter should have been appointed to work between the Maxwell-Mor rison and the MacLean-Pritchett pairs, in view of the stands taken in the recent tax fights in the General Assembly ? or a referee.

OLD CUSTOMERS TO BE GUESTS OF STORE Bon Marche to Celebrate Its 42nd Anniversary With Elaborate Party Bon Marche will entertain its old est patrons at a banquet on Thursday evening, July thirtieth, in honor of its Forty-Second Anniversary. Forty-two years ago Bon Marche ! was founded on the corner of Eagle ] street and what was then Main 1 street, later re-named Biltmore ave nue. The store prospered and grew. The store helped to create some of th commercial prosperity of Asheville and Western North Carolina, and, in turn, the good will of the whole west ern section of the state helped Bon Marche. In honor of the Forty-First Anni versary last year, Bon Marche gave a banquet at which over one hun dred of the customers of the store in 1889, 1890, and 1891 were guests. It was quite a gala event with reminis cences and tales of old days being the I order ol' the day. I This year the Forty-Second Anni Iversary of the Bon Marche and, at the request of many friends and pa ,trons, AshevilleV largest department store will again celebrate with a ban quet given for the old customers. The banquet will be held at the George Vanderbilt Hotel, on Thursday eve ning, July thirtieth, at seven o'clock. The guests will be all those who traded at the Bon Marche during the first three years of its existence, 1889, 1890, and 1891; and will include many of the older people of Asheville and Western North Carolina. All men and women who were customers at that time are urged to call at the store and register or write a note. Invitations will be issued later.

Established in 1880 JOINK MOTOR CO. < TO GIVE FREE SHOW Talking Pictures to Show Ford Plant and Ford Mines In Operation On next Monday, July 27, and | Tuesday, July 28, the Joines Motor, company will give a free show in their big show rooms, to which all ! people are invited. The show is a talking picture, giving a five-reel minute description of the wonders of J the big Ford Motor plant at Dear- ' born, Mich. In addition, pictures of ? the coal mines owned by the Ford company, and the railroads, and all ! the various parts and portions of the immense Ford company's operations will be shown. Mass production, in its most complete form, is operated by the Ford people, and will be shown in this talking picture. The purpose of the show is to give the people first hand information as to how it is possible for an auto mobile like the Ford car to be built and sold for the price asked for it. There is not a particle of waste in the entire operation, even the smoke from the smokestacks and the steam from the exhaust pipes being utilized in making by-products which are i turned into money that flowers the ' sale price of the car. The picture is said by those who have seen it to be both entertaining and educational, and the Joines Mo tor company urges all people to at tend as their guests, as no charge is made for admission. Read their fid vertisment on another page for more j detailed information. YOUNG BRITTAINS NOW IN BUSINESS Announcemnt is made that J. T. : (Trigg) Brittain has sold his inter est in the B. and B.

I i Playing against odds innumerable, Brevard lost to Balfour on the lat ter's diamond Saturday afternoon by the score of 7-6 in a game replete with arguments and bad feeling, j With a shaken line-up, the Bre vard aggregation played headsup ball throughout the game behind the steady twirling of Graham.
