SINCE TAKING PERUNA
I can say my
bowels are much
more regular.
My heart is
stronger.
My appetite is
much better.
My throat is
much better.
Mrs. William H. Hinchliffe, 20 Myrtle St., Bevery, Mass.,
writes: "I have taken four bottles of Peruna, and I can say that
it has done me a great deal of good for catarrh of the head and
throat. I recommend Peruna to all sufferers with catarrh. I do
'not think I ever felt much better. I am really surprised at the
work I can do. I do not think too much praise can be said for
Peruna." .
h Those who object tofluid medicines can now procure Peruna
Tablets.

COUNTY BOARD HAS
LAST SCHOOL CASE
Judge Long Decides Against
Board in Avery's Creek Spe
cial School Tax Election.
BROWN TO
VIS1TASHEVILLE
Vree Show to Be Presented
Monday at Globe Sample
Company's Store.
In handing down a decision yes
terday in the case of Joel Ingram
and others against the county com
missioners, wherein he holds that the
election for special school taxes In the
Avery's Creek school district No. 1,
was invalid, he establishes a new case
as there is no precedent for this case
in the state of North Carolina. The
county commissioners appealed to the
Supreme court of the state.
The court holds that the payment of
poll tax for the previous year, on or
before May 1, Is a pie-requisite. That
being so the election stands 19 for the
special taxes and 22 against and the
election falls. Any tax levy by virtue
of this election Is the referee Illegal.
Ho also continues permanently the
restraining order, restraining the col
lection of the taxes under the elec
tion. The court holds with the contention
of the defendants thai Hardy and
Charles Kyles and Claud Bishop were
not qualified voters and that T. R.
Patterson was a qualified voter in the
election.
In appealing to the Supreme court,
the defendants will take up the ques
tion as to the payment of poll and
there the matter will finally be deter
mined, as it Is clearly presented in this
case.
LIGHTS ON PATTON
AVE. MAY REMAIN
Merchants in Favor of Keeping
- Extra Illumination Through
the Holiday Season.
Although none of the commercial
organizations In the city have formally
discussed the subject of allowing . the
strings of lights which were placed on
Patton avenue for the "Electrical
Prosperity" celebration, to remain
there over the Christmas holidays,
several of the leading merchants have
advocated the plan as a good one.
President L. B. Rogers of the Mer
chants association has expressed him
self as being In favor of the project,
and thinks it an excellent idea to re
tain the lights permanently.
An official of the Asheville Power
and Light company has spoken of the
willingness of the company to allow
the lights to remain, if the merchants
will contribute a sum toward their
upkeep.
Mr. Rogers said that the matter
would probably come before his asso
ciation at its next meeting.
BINGHAM CADETS

Snyder Holiday Season.
The information that "Buster
Brown" himnelf and hi dog, Tige, will

to cause ro end of excitement among
the younger generatlun.

The trained dog which take the

peal to tho kids who are fortunate

This afternoon the cadet corps
of Bingham Military school will go

work of the cadets is always of in
terest to the residents of Asheville and
tomorrow's performance will be the

proach of the holiday season and the
possible forbidding weather after
Christmas.

practice in the intervals between
classes and considerable proficiency
has been attained by a number of
them.

EL-REES-SO CIGAR
CO. TOJNLARGE
Greensboro Firm Will Have
New Plant Company Has
Grown Rapidly.
John T. Ilees of Greensboro, presi
dent of the IDl-Rees-So Cigar com
pany, is a visitor in the city today.
The history of Mr. Bees' company
is a commentary on hustle and ener
getic effort. In 1912 Mr. Bees employ
ed a journeyman cigar maker and
began his business. In 1913 six men
were employed and the output of the
company amounted to G.OOU cigars a
week. The industry- has grown rapid
ly and at present 118 men are em
ployed and 120,000 hand made cigars
are turned out now every week. These
snvokes are made one day and ship
ped the next, no old stock being car
ried in store. The plant runs night
and day.
The company-is-incorporated with
a capital stock of 125,000; the fac
tory building plans Just approved call
for. a structure 125 feet long and 32
feet wide, three stories high.
Mr; Rees- has his own ideas In re
gard to advertising and selling his
product. No billboards adorn the
landscape telling of the superior qual
ities of the goods; no traveling sales
men are employed to drum the
trade. Printer's ink and the flavor of
the cigars are the. reliance of this
North Carolina cigar maker. The El-Rees-Sos
are distributed in more than
half a dozen states. The firm claims
to be the largest seller in the state
of any one brand.
