He has a strong personality. Ke is a hard worker, a good student, and a man full of action. Nothing but the best of reports have been heard of his work and the church feels very for tunate in being able to secure his services as pastor.

Iast Friday, April 26, brought the city schools to the close of the eighth month of the current year, and though the enrollment and attend ance is holding up very well, there has been a slight falling off since the dose of last month. 1 j The enrollment for April in the j graded school has been 463, and the j attendance 426. Those pupils who ; drop out during the last wreeks of the ; school year will be at quite a disad I vantage at the beginning of next S year, for they will not have finished j the work of the grade in which they have worked this year and, there : fore, cannot be promoted to the next higher grade, but at the same time ! they will not want to go over the ! same grade again. There is so much work outlined for each grade and it is only the brilliant pupils who get over a grade without completing the entire amount. The great majority . must take the grades in regular tor der and win their promotions by com pleting the course in regular order. It is highly important, then, that all pupils expecting to gain their promo tion at the close of this year should remain in school regularly during the remaining few weeks. Judging from the list of names that appear on the honor roll, the quality of work done by the pupils in the past month has been very sat- : isfactory to the teachers.

The interest on the bond will be used for school purposes. All departments of the school pur chased $3,400 worth of War Savings stamps and those purchased and sub scribed for total about $4,500. In addition to this bond others are held by teachers and pupils as their indi vidual purchases. The record for the local school in respect to purchasing Thrift Stamps is regarded as one of the very best in North Carolina and speaks well for the high spirit of patriotism that pervades the school. SUNDAY SCHOOL RALLY WITH METHODISTS MAY 5. In harmony with the awakening of nature into new life, the Methodist church will hold Rally Day on next Sunday, May 5. During the past winter many have been kept from at tending Sunday school and church services, but next Sunday is to be a time of in-gathering, a time of gen eral greeting, a renewal of old friendships, as well as an awakening of dormant energies in the Master's work. It is expected that there will be no vacant seats. WOODMEN MEET WEDNESDAYS. Owing to the fact that a number of the members of the Modern Wood men of America belong to the home guards the meeting of the lodge will be held hereafter on - Wednesday nights instead of on Monday nights so as to permit attendance at both organizations. If you have two dollars, lend one to Uncle Sam to protect the other. In that way you sav both. TENTH GRADE.

They had made a systematic canvass of the residences of the city and had kept a bond booth at the -postoffice from day to day. Chairman R. P. Freeze, of the lo cal Liberty Loan committee, called a tneeting of the fourteen members on Monday night and organized for an intensive campaign on Tuesday and at the meeting of the committee on Tuesday night it was reported that more than $105,000 had been sub scribed. The committeemen were grouped into squads of four men each with the instructions to secure ? $2,000 in subscriptions before re porting. . This amount was exceed ed by the committees, which were quite jubilant when they canvassed the reports and found that $26,550 was subscribed on Tuesday. The committee captains were T. L. Durham, R. H. Staton, W. A. Keith and C. F. Bland. W. M. Bridges was secretary to the committee. The committees experienced little trouble in raising the necessary amount to make up the full quota for this county. Excepting the work done by the banks, the principal part of it since the campaign opened was done by the ladies.

Smith JUDGE EWARTS REMAINS I J The Judge Died at Dance for Boys in Service; Body Cremated in Keep ing With Expressed Wish. . The remains of Judge Hamilton' G. Ewart, who died at an entertainment in Chicago on . Tuesday night of last week, were brought to Henderson- lle-and interred, in Oakdale ceme- ry last Sunday afternoon following funeral services conducted : by the Rev. G. W. Belk at the Presbyterian church. . The members of the local bar gathered at the home' of. G. H. Valen-' tine and from there went to the church in a body and followed the re mains to the cemetery. In addition to the services by Rev. Mr. Belk and a song by the audience, Mrs. C. N. Wrenshall sang "Abide With Me." Despite inclement weather there was a large number of the friends of the deceased at the services. In keeping with the frequently ex pressed wish of Judge Ewart, his body was cremated. Judge Ewart leaves three sons and three daughters: H. G. Ewart, Jr., of Cleveland, Ohio; Lieut. James B. Ewart, of the U. S. S. Iowa; Quay Ewart, Mrs. William Aiken Rhett, of Charleston, S. C; Mrs. G. T. Wil liams, of Suffern, N. Y., and Mrs. G. H. Valentine, of Hendersonville. He also leaves two sisters: Miss Minnie D. Ewart and Mrs. Lila Ripley Barn- well, both of whom live here. The out-of-town members of the family present for the interment were H. G. Ewart, Jr., James B.' Ew art, Mrs. Rhett and Mrs. Williams. - When the information was prepar ed for" the account of Judge Ewart's death, as published in the Hustler last week, no information was at hand as to the manner of his going. Judge Ewart died at an entertain ment for the sailors and soldiers. He had been on the floor at the dance given in honor of the boys in the ser vice and on taking a seat beckoned to a friend. As the friend approach ed Judge Ewart drew his last breath. He attended the entertainment ap-. parently in excellent physical condi tion and on the previous day his friends were impressed with his cus tomary joviality. Judge Ewart leaves friends in many walks of life and in many parts of the country and his death means the extinguishing of one of the brightest legal lights in North Caro lina, a State in which he is widely known for his activities in its affairs one way and another, notably in a political way. Increase in Telephone Rate Is Requested The Asheville Telephone & Tele graph Company serves notice that it has filed a petition with the State Corporation Commission requesting authority to advance its rates for tel ephone service in Hendersouville and Asheville. The announcement of the company gives the increased cost of operation and inadequate returns on the in vestment as the reason for the re- quest for permission to maKe tne in-. crease in rates. Telephone companies propose ad vances in the leading cities of North Carolina. The mattter is to be heard by the Corporation Commission be fore there can be an increase, and if it is granted doubtless quite a period will pass before increased rates are effective. . It is understood that no increase is desired on any kind of residential service, but that for. business special and business duplex service an in crease of 50 cents a month is pro posed. No increase will be asked for jon the inward service, which ap plies to service where there are more than - one telephone to. the place of business. The present price of busi ness special is $3.00, and that of business duplex is $2.50. INTERRED HER SUNDAY IfOOU HOLD GOOD 1EW THIS CITY Hendersonville was hostess to the Western North Carolina Log Rolling Association Monday, when an enthu siastic delegation of about sixty members from various parts of the State enjoyed the hospitality of the local camp. . The meeting was an interesting one and the program included the election of officers and the making of many interesting addresses, , the I key note of which was patriotism. Head Consul V. E. Grant, of the Woodmen of the World of North Carolina, called the meeting to order in the absence of President Frank Titty, of Asheville. Rev. M. F. Moores led in prayer, and J. E. Ship man, on behalf of the city, delivered the address of welcome, C. F. Bland making that on behalf of the camp. The response on behalf of the asso ciation was made by State Manager E. B. Lewis, of Kinston. Addresses were made at the night session by E. W. Ewbank and Rev. T. G. Nanney. The election of officers was a fea ture that drew close attention and re sulted in the following selection: H. G. Flynn, president, Landrum; Rev. T. G. Nanney, vice-president, Union Mills; Geo. L. Herman, secretary treasurer, Asheville. ' Spirited balloting marked the se lection of the meeting place of the next convention, Asheville;; and Ros- i man being in the, race, with -Old Frt, but the latter led by a good majority, and the convention will meet with Blue Ridge camp No. 93, Old Fort, on the last Monday in October, 1918. Strong resolutions were adopted, pledging the support of the associa tion to our government in the pur chase of Liberty bonds and Thrift stamps, and the association urged the camps to take care of the interests of its soldier members while they are in the service of the government. A large number of the camps reported that they had purchased Liberty bonds with camp funds and that, in addition, large numbers of individual members had invested in the bonds the best investment that is known. Among the number of important resolutions adopted at the meeting was one providing for a service flag to be presented to the association at a special meeting to be held during the summer months. The resolution providing for the service flag was passed unanimously and the flag will contain stars for each member in the forty-three camps composing the association who are in the service of the United States, cither in train ing camps, on the high seas or on the European battlefields. The commit tee having this matter in charge is composed of Head Consul V. E. Grant, Hendersonville; President H. G. Flynn, Landrum, and Secretary Treasurer George L. Herman, Ashe ville. Another important resolution pass ed was one heartily commending the appointment by President Wilson of Sovereign Commander W. A. Fraser, of Omaha, as a member o fthe de partment of war risk insurance for our soldiers and sailors. A copy will be forwarded to President Wilson. 263 GIVEN FOR EQUIPPING Y. M. C. A. AT FT. CASWELL. On request from the Wilmington Y. M. C. A. and Chamber of Com merce, Mayor C. E. Brooks, aided by W. M. Bridges, made a campaign to raise $250 this week to supplement a sum to be used for equipping the new Y. M. C. A. at Ft. Caswell, and raised $263 without difficulty. The people responded freely to the call, having in mind the large number of local boys who left for training at that point, many of whom are now in training there. MISS McMUULEN BUYS HOME.
