We have opened an up-town office in the former location of the Citizens Bank, near Justus Pharmacy. Coal
and Ice orders left here will receive prompt attention and Laundry work left here will be returned to this office to be
called for or will be delivered to your house by truck as you wish.
This new office will handle all lines of our business, and is opened for your convenience. By making free use of
it you will save your own time and enable us to give you better service
TO HOUSEKEEPERS: At the present time, when domestic help is scarce and uncertain and expensive, many
Hendersonville ladies have found our FAMILY WASH SERVICE tp be veritable Godsend. At small cost it in
sures absolute cleanliness and does away with all the worst features or S$v ash-Day at home.
This service is handled in: two ways. If you wish your work "'Roughened" every article is washed by our best
method, starch pieces are properly starched, and every piece dried, leaving nothing tp be donut dampening 2nd ironing. The charge is
ten cents a pound, weighed before washing. In our " Wet Wash " service the artiles receive the same careful washing, are then placed in
the extractors to remove surplus water, and returned to you damp and ready for ironing, but witrfoo pieces starched. On this the charge is
seven and a half cents a pound weighed before washing.

You will find either of these a cheap and satisfactory solution of the Family Washing problem.
Since you have read this far, read a line or two more, and accept our heartiest thanks for a steady and growing
patronage. We are leaving nothing undone to maintain and improve every feature of our business. We want to
serve you and we want you to like the service.

.if :
In view of the present discussion of
Henderson County roads and road
questions in general the citizens of
this county will be keenly interested
in-. plr.rs w.'jich are outlined in the
to tlo wiiij; lttter ?fiOve.--fcd to Dr. L. B.
JMorse by the Division iHngineer of the
State Highway Con-mission. It :3
hoped that TItn-.Ie:ton County will Tje
vcll au;i fully rj ii-ented at this od
ferei.cc The ietter fellows:
My dear Doctor Morse :
It has been suggested recently by
members of the County Commissioners
of several counties in this Western Di
vision that a meeting be called at an
early date and request all County Com
missioners .and Road Commissioners in
the Western Division to meet in a unit
ed effort and endeavor for a real gen
uine constructive program for a sub
stantial development of our main
highways in this section.
Our National government has before
it an act to appropriate one hundred
million dollars annually for a period
of ten years to aid the States in the
improvement of its main highways.
Of this', it is estimated that our State
would receive over two million an
nually, provided, we furnish an qual
amount as the National Government re
fuses to pay more than half of the
cost of construction on any project.
Now let's form a real system and sche
dule, and work in unity and harmony
to see that we get every dollar of
Federal money that we are entitled to
and that not a cent is forfeited to
other counties and other States.
The State has established a System
pf State Highways on which Federal
Aid is to be spent. This system as yon
may see from the map traverses every
County and reachesevery county sear
in this Division, and thereby every
County may receive its benefits. Now
it is up to you to see that your County
receives its shar'i if aid.
It is further sug'sted that not only
County and Roau Comissioners at
tend this conference but that pr
gressive, re'presej'.Ci'ive citizens ft
. each County be u.vjted. Not a ques
tion of numbers, Vvit real representa
tion from each County.
Please advi3e if convenient for yoi
t attend suca conference in she
irillo nn Sa;i'da. cb. 1. 1919. And
acivise the naires of the represent
tives we may ospect from your coua-
With besc v. ."s!.':s of the season.

TIME BETWEEN DRINKS
Uncle Sam Headed for the Big Dry
Spell This Trip. Commences Jan.,
. 1G, 1920 Thirty-Eight States Have
Ratiiieil Constitutional Amendment.
War Time Prohibition Effective
June SOtJi.
Washington. Jan. 16. Ratification
today of the federal constitutional pro
hibition amendment made the United
States the first great power to take
legislative action to permanently stop
the liquor traffic.
Nebraska s vote gave the necessary
affirmative three-fourths majority or
the states to make effective the
amendment submitted by Congress in
December, 1917. It was followed by
similar action in 'the legislatures or
Missouri and Wyoming, making 3S
states in all which have approved a
"dry" America. Affirmative action by
some of the ten state legislatures yet
to act is predicted by prohibition ad
vocates. Under the terms of the amendment
the manufacture, sale and importation
of intoxicating liquors must cease one
year after ratification but prohibition
will be a fact in every ?tate much
earlier because of the war measures
forbidding the .manufacture and sale
of alcoholic beverages after June 3D
until the demobilization of military
forces. Under th3 war lime measure
exportation of liquor is pernin. r
but the great stocks now held in jcmo-
ed warehouses will have to be dis
posed of before the federal amend
ment becomes effarHvo.
Discussion as to whether the new
amendment become.; a part of the
constitution now that 30 states have
ratified it or whether it becomes ft
part of the basis law only when each
state has certified its action to tne
secretary of state Jed today to a searcn
for precedent whicii showed that the
only amendments ratified in the las
half century providing for incoiue
taxes and direct election of senator
were considered effective immediat
ely the 36th state had taken affirma
tive action.
Senator Sheppard, author of the
prohibition amendment, held that na-
tibnal prohibition becomes a perma
nent fact January 16, 1920.
Only 14 of the states have certified
their action to the state department
The vote of the Mississippi legislature
the first to act, has not bean re reivec
at the state department. The Missis
sippi secretary of state said today at
Jackson that the certificate had been
mailed to Washington -'immediately
after the legislature acted and that a
duplicate would be sent if the origi
nal had been lost. Proclamation of the
ratification of a new amendment is
made, but this was said to be a formal
ity and not a requisite part of chang
ing the constitution.
New problems of government are
raised by prospective stoppage of the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquor, as hundreds of millions of dol
lars derived from ' internal revenue
will have to be obtained from ovher
sources. Laws of enforcement of tlie
amendment also will have to be pas
Hard to Manage.
A man who has lately undertaken
the management of a certain tempera
mental star was asked, during the past
week, about the young woman's well
being. "How is Miss So-and-So?" ran
the query. "I don't talk to her any
more," was the answer. "She's under
(I
my management now.'
