THURSDAY; JUL F 1 hoj VOL. XVIII, No. 26 THE EDITORS LEAVE TOWN Charlotte Observer Hen dersonville, June 24 To day was the second and last of the North Carolina Press Asso ciation's visit to the "Lake City of the Mountains,'! and was marked by two enjoyable social events, the reading of many im portant papers, and the election of officers. The morning was pleasantly spent in a drive to Lake Osceola and to Moun Hebron, the plea sure of which was not marred by a slight shower, which Mr. J. P. Caldwell remarked was but a pleasant diversion. The edi tors and their families went in a body and the string of carriages was a long one. The ball at the Gates Thursday night was largely attended and thoroughly enjoyed by both visi tors and home people .and was distinctly a success. - : ' t . V At the afternoon session the following officers were elected:' President, Rev. J. O. Atkinson ; first vice-president, M. .L. Ship man; second vice-president, J. R. Swann; third vice-president. W.

B. Vamer, Josephus Daniels, D. T. Edwards. A resolution was adopted con demning the United States government for maintaining , a job printing office to compete with the country's job printers,' and a copy of these resolutions was ordered snt to every repre sentative and Senatdr of North Carolina, ' ' ' Interesting articles were read by Rev. J. 0. Atkinson, Clarence H. Poe and R. B. Clark. The important address of the day was that of M. V. Hichards, land and industrial agent of the Southern Railway. Resolution of Thanks.

Possibly next year, but hardly this. it costs money, a neap oi u and then some, to run a credit able daily paper. - " TO CELEBRATE THE The Fourth of July, to be cele brated on July 5th, Monday, promises to be a red letter day in the history of the town. The Woodmen of the World are making the most elaborate preparations for the proper ob servance of the day, and dele gations from Inmari, , Spartan burg, Brevard, Asheville and the surrounding towns will at tend. ' There will be a public meeting in the courthouse at 10:30 in the morning, when Mayor Staton will deliver an . address of wel come to the visiting Woodmen and Hon. J. J. . Burnett, Mr. E. B. Lewis, sovereign manager of the .order, and others will de liver short, interesting talks. At 1:30 p. m., dinner will be served on the old Academy grounds to the visiting Woodmen, and at 3 o'clock sharp the great parade starts f rohi the court house, headed by floats, a good band and with over 500 members of the order in line. At 4 o'clock a special matinee will be given at the Auditorium, and at 8:30 a special performance in the same - building. A good vaudeville show and two sets of moving pictures will be presented at each performance. Theladmission will be1 15 and 25 cents, while week-end tickets, good for eight performances from June 5th to 10th, will be sold for $1.00 for adults and 50 cents for children. There will be good music, all day, the Woodmen have thor oughly advertised the celebration, and weather permitting, it is believed there will be many thousands in town to help make the occasion one long to be re membered. - ' GLORIOUS FOURTH " t . .

Hendersonville can still get in to the four team leasrue com posed of Asheville,.- Canton; wayueavnie unu uiis rown, n m people decide they want profess lonal baseball , here this summer. They ought to want it! - - It's the. biggest kind of an attraction to the summer visitors, and if the other towns have this attraction and this town's with out it, this town is going to suffer! Mr. P. F. Patton has done more than ,one man's share in trying to get this town in the pro posed league, and his earnest ef iorts should receive the enthu siastic backing of every lover of Hendersonville. A guarantee fund of $500 has been raised. It will be neces sary to have $1000 subscribed. The expenses of visiting teams for the two months will be S750. The salary list for the 12 men to comprise the home team will be $800, a very moderate sum. There will be three games each week for two months decidedly a strong inducement for tourists to come to Hendersonville. The committee should have the earnest support of the whole town, for the proposed, series of games means much to the com munity. ' - THE TOWN THAT PUSH BUILT I.

McCutcheon in Chicago Tribune. THE COMITY POOR "EMi tnr TTn sf lAr . . . ' . ' --' ' "r'im?r''- ""-N- Fo'r'jnahy years it has ..been my duty as a ; member of the County Board of Public Charities to visit the County Home, and to send a semi-annual report of buildings, inmates health and all conditions relating to tlieir welfare to the State Board at Raleigh. Also I give the num ber of those who receive assis tance outside of the Home, and the average cost of such aid. The present plan of management seems to me the most satisf ac toryas well as the most econom ical. There are about forty, not fm the Home, who receive an average allowance of $3.00 per month, Thevost in the Home is from $7.00 to $10.00, so one can readily see that if the forty mentioned were to be removed to one place the cost of support would be enormously increased, that is from the present monthly expense of $120.00 to $320.00 or more. Again the Home as it is now could not possibly accommo date that number, there being three rooms used for inmates, the four; others being necessary for kitchen, dining room and the keeper's family. A building of ten or twelve rooms would, be needed, and I am told, that even using the plainest of building materials, this would cost be tween $3,000land $4,000, in addi tion to which must be added the cost of furnishing, and this, how ever simple, would mean an ex penditure of at least several hun dred dollars. A building as large as the one mentioned would only be able to accommodate the forty or more by crowding, and this for. sanitary reasons is most un advisable. Next a separate building would be required for colored people, and while four or five rooms might; be quite suffi cient, it would very, much in crease the expense. From both the standpoint of the comfort of these unfortunates as well- as that of the taxpayer, the pre sent system seems decidedly preferable. It has ; been said in some in stances county aid v has : been WouldBeA StepB For Hendersonvilld to Have No Daily Paper this Summer; Says Prominent TO HOLD GREAT INDUSTRIAL MEETING. A large number of representa tive business men of the town met S. V. Richaids, land and in dustrial agent oi the Southern Railway, at the Gates Hotel, last Friday; morning, and made ar rangements to hold a treat "In dustrial Rally" here on Tuesday, July 20th: r : : The meeting will be held from 11 to o'clock, all the stores will close during that timv , there will be music and ; speakers ; of note; including Mr. Richards. , It is hoped, at this meeting to devise methods of hastening: the industrial development of this town and county, and the impor tance of the meeting cannot be overestimated ; THE WATERS GIVE UP THEIR DEAD. The body of Sheldon Stepp, the young carpenter drowned an ;Kan:ua iMe bn"Junel9, was recovered on Thursday, the 24th after several days' work on the part of. the diver who came here from Norfolk for that purprse The body was brought . to Stepps undertaking rooms and on Thursday evening was buried at Refuge, in the presence of a large number of sorrowing friends. The services were cori ducted by Rev. Brookshire. WHAT THEY SAY. Already the editors of the different papers who attended the convention are beginning to tell their readers their impres sions of this town and its people, The Raleigh News and Observer has nearly two columns on the editorial page, and many nice things are said of Henderson ville. Beginning with the next issue, The Hustler will begin publishing the comments of the editors. ; The Playground of. America. Dr. Campbell, for 25 years the head of the great Asylum at Knoxville, Tenn., and a nerve specialist of international repu tation, says; - "Henderson County is bound to become the play ground of America. ; The great West may have the business, but always will people, in constantly increasing numbers, come to these mountains for recreation and to find health. ' : Dr. Campbell, with his charm ing daughter, Miss Luclle, are at the Wheeler for, an indefinite L visit t given where it was not neces sary. Surely this could be easily remedied. A committee of three might be appointed to investigate all cases, say of one physician and two other practical men. I am deeply concerned in alL that pertains to the welfare of these unfortunates, ' as also in the wisest and most economical plan for our ' county. Trusting that tnis important matter will be carefully considered, before any changes are made, I am, Very sincerely, .; Ltla Ripley Barnwell. A 9 : 'ackwMdl Citizen of Town. jA well known citizen, active in all that pertains to the growth of Hendersonville, says; Editor Hustler: I saw in a recent issue of your paper that there was a proba bility that ' the summer daily would not appear. . This is bad. It will be a step backward in the progress of .this town. I can hardly believe the business men of this town will allow such a state of affairs. I notice also in a recent: issue, a ; communica tion in reference to cleaning up the town. This should demand immediate attention. Lots own ed by non-residents are literally covered with tin cans and rub bish and' the .near by citizen householders suffer." Much is being said about the recent order of the county com missioners requiring those poor people who have been receiving a monthly allowance to go to the poor house. This is a fact, that sonie of those recipient's childreii who are amply able to : take care ot them, DON'T DO -IT. : v Eloping Couple CaugliL Greenville,1; June 28. -Sheriff Pool has arrested Thomas Aiken, and the sheriff of Hendersonville, N. C. has arrested Mrs. 7 Ellie Stokely. Aiken was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Mr. Stokely charging him with run ning away with his wife. 1 Several days ago the case was put into the hands of the local officers of the county, and Mr. GL C. Corn, special officer, and a re ward of $25 was offered by Mr. Stokely for the arrest of Thomas Aiken. The officers went to work on the case at once, and the sher iff of Hendersonville arrested the woman. Aiken .was frightened at the arrest of Mrs. Stokely or for some other reason and came back to Greenville, fleeing: from the sheriff in Hendersonville, it is alleged. He was arrested Sat urday near Brandin Mills by Deputies Cooley and Smith. He gave bond before the court and is out of jail. Mrs. Stokely will return to the city in 'keeping of the sheriff today. It is understood the case will be prosecuted against Aien by the husband of Mrs. Stokely.i Asheville Citizen. Thomas Aiken was born and reared at Etowah, where he lived until about three years ago when he moved his family to Green ville, where some of his children found employment in the mills. His wife died about a year ago. He and Mrs. Stkely were seen in the Etowah section last week, where the woman was arrested, Aiken eluding the officers. A reward of ten dollars was offered by the woman's husband for -the arrest of the alleged cul prits. -.V Mrs. Stokely, after spending several hours in Sheriff Black well's hotel, was taken back to Greenville on Tuesday by a depu ty sheriff from that town. t : v
