VOL. XXV; NO. 3;
Arrangements have heen made' for
the registration of all men in Hen-
derson county between the ages of 1S
and 46 on Thursday, Sept 12, from
7 a. m. to 9 p. m., B,t their respective
voting precincts.
While the order reads from 18 to j
45 it includes air those between 18
and 46 years old and unless a man is
45 years old he has to register. Un
less he is 13 years old he does not
have to register.' The local board
makes this plain because there1 is a
general impression that a man does
not have to register if he is past the
45 years old mark.
Clerk C. N. Wrenshall of the local
exemption board calls attention to the
fact that if a person is sick he should
notify the registrar that some 'one
may be deputized to visit and proper
ly register him. All men away from
their homes should register with
their nearest local board four or five
days in advance and mail their regis
tration card together with addressed
and stamped enevelope to his own
home exemption board, which will
mail such persons registration certifi
cates. In accordance with the recommen
dation of the local board, the gov
ernor has appointed the registrars

CAMPBOVS BOOSTED
- HENDEBS0NV1LLE RED .
CROSS FUND MtORDAY
A select. group, of entertainers from
:
Camp. Sevier, Tinder the able' direction ;
J qt.Mx, C. C. Bnchannan, ot the Armv
.Y. ?.L C. A.V gave" en entertaining con
cert at the .opera house Saturday eve
ning for the benefit of the Red Cross.
The house was filled and the boys did
themselves -proud.
Stage Manager Corporal Teddy R.
Myer, of New York, was as busy as a
one-arm man with prickly heat and
was right in his element. He sang
well, acted we'll, managed well and
amid the multitudinous duties of his
position Icept wearing the "smile that
won't come off." .
The talent was all of a highs order;
and each man acquitted himself with,
honors. Private Carmony's ."sweet;
tenoT voice was delightful to hear
and his songs Were well rendered.:
Private Baron, the pianist demonstra
ted that he was thoroughly at home
at the piano . "
Corp. Myer showed his versatil
ity by sing a rousing patriotic,
song and &en a comic song, which
reeeivedrounds of applause.
. Mr. Clark, another Y. M. C. A.
worker, has a baritone voice of great
sweetness and richness and held his
audience to the last strain of melody
Tire great surprise o fthe evening
was Corporal Verna, the Italian bari
tone, formerly a member of the Met
ropolitan Grand Opera and a man
who has a voice of wonderful sweet
ness to whicla has been added the
finish of a thorough training. His
songs were in Italian-scmgsfrom
the old masters. He was somewhat
handicapped as his accompanist was
finable to be present, and' he sang
without the piano. But It is impos
sible to handicap such a voice as his
and the audience went wild over his
singing. No such voice has. been
heard in-Hnderonville -during - the
"17 years residence of the writer. Sup
erb and then some.
Lieut, and Mrs: Horner of the R. &
C. Dept. of the Q. M. C, attended the
concert, as did Lieut. Guinn of the
same department.
Corp. Myer is authority for the
statement that this concert is only
the beginning and that it is his pur
pose to bring in the near future, ar,
least, a dozen entertainers of the
same meritorious rank to give an en
tertainment for the local chapter ot
the Red Cross.
Corp. Myer desires .to thanlc on be
half of himself and all the men, the I
people of Hendersonville and the vis
itors for 'the hearty reception and
cheerful -manner in which they treat
ed the soldiers, and says that on their
next visit they will bring an aggrega
tion of entertainers that will double
the receipts for the Red Cross. Af
ter paying the expenses incurred,
diieh amounted to about $35, the
reat sum of $190 was turned -ower to
the Iocc.1 chapter. -
Come again boys you have 'cap
tured Hendersonville, and we are
your : friends.
" Other Interesting Notes
Corporal Myer remained over Sun
day as the guest of the Red Cross
and entertained the guests of the
Kentucky Home with his singing. He
also demonstrated his mastery eff
English. .
That Boy, Sergt. Erwin, is some lit
tle ticket seller. He sold 84 tickets
for the concert. "That boy could sell
tickets to a funeral and get away with
it.
Corp. F. W. Taylor was "the man on
the job." He reached the theatre ear
ly and not finding either doorkeeper or
ticket man he Jjumped into the trench
and got busy. Results, 71 tickets.
SoMe quick thinker that Taylor.
Corp. Currie was right in the game
and did business like a "hot dog" re
freshment man.
rnrn. Saoo was 'there with
the
sDiel" and was traffic man
He held
up 1 innumerable autos and sold tick
ets. His enthusiasm was unrefus
able and he came back with the coin
ever ytime-' - v
Corp. Spangler is another boy who
knows the selling game, He produces
business where Vnone ain't."
Privates Sigman, Kahn and Levy
know how to get the money and they
did.
We should be glad to give the
names of the rest or tne ooys wno, i
by their efforts at selling tickets,
made the concert a success, but Corp.
Myer, our informant, was unable to
furnish the information. Boys we
thank you. Come again and. stay
longer. Sam T. Hodges,

GIANT TOMATO
Probably one of the most foremost
giants in the tomato kingdom of Hen
derson county was that presented to
the Hustler office by: Mrs. Galther
Rhodes from the Ioka farm on Mills
River. . ,
,This vegetable was - beautifully
shaped and measured 15 inches in cir
cumference one way and 12 another;
About 150 soldiers from Camp Sev
ier visited Hendersonville Saturday,
,'the occasion being to settle the dis
'. pute as to whether the "Reclama
tions" or the "Remounts" -raere cham
pions of the "Twilight league." The
rfg5.me was full of thrills and was in
;4oubt all the way, the "Remounts"
winning by the score of 8 to 2.
The following ladies of he Red;
Cross provided a delightful luncheon
;at .Basin Spring in Laurel
Park,
which, was served immediately after
the game.
Mesdames J. F. Brooxs, C. R. Whit-
(aker Ethel Patterson, W. R. Kirk, C.

b.nd chef Raymond Edwards, better
known as the "Coffee King," wasthere
with the goods.' The men gave three
cheers for the "Red Cross" and left
fvthe city about midnight for Camp
. Sevier.
The men made a good impression
jpearance and gentlemenly behavior.
Such ! men as these are a .credit to
the nation and will make "Kaiser

they, get to Germany. '

Notes o fthe Game .
The Remounts have a first baseman
w'ho by the class he showed here can
hold down the initial sack for any
club in the hlg league. He's all there.
The catcher for the "Reclamations'
has a wing that gets in down to sec
ond like a cannon ball.
Our old friend, Billie Laval, um
pired the game. Billie is well and
pleasantly remembered in Hender-
bonville. He was the pitcher for the 1
Hendersonville club in 1904 and wasj
sold to Spartanburg just before the
I, close of the season at the highest
price ever paid in the "Bush" league,
