The lower' price of copper.
The need of the service.

Some friend of the Hustler lias sen-,
this paper an alligator. The alligator
came from Florida. It is suppose,:
the sender was a friend of this paper.
The devil says he doesn't know. The
devil brought the alligator from the
postoSce. He isn't partial to alliga
tors, as a general thing, he says. This
alligator is mostly mouth. "When he
yawns there is no alligator. Or at
least there doesn't seem to be any
alligator left. He isn't what yoi:
might truthfully call handsome, judg
ed by Hendersonville standards of
beauty. Still at that, lu j j.ista shie
better looking than the kaiser, whom
he closely resembles. That may be a
rough thing to say about a poor, innc
cent little alligator, but facts is facts.

tion to all those paying one Jollar in
advance for a year's subscription to
this truly great journal. No looks
will be permitted for less than one
dollar. Siver or bills accepted but no
unkind of personal remarks about the
alligator will be permitted.
That is the sole privilege of the
devil.
THE EASY WAY
WE DO THINGS
If Asheville should raise by public
subscription $231,000 in three or four
days, going at it kind of leisurly, j cu J
know, that fact would be commented
on. Also generally and for some little
time to come. ' . .
And vet that is nreciselv what TTen-
I dersonville has done, nronortionateiv.
In three or four days, recently,
Hendersonville subscribed $10,000 for
Georgia. Military academy stock, and
$23,000 for golf links stock.
Asheville's assessed valuation
is f even times that of Hendersonville.
Therefore, Asheville, to equal this
record, would have ..o su'.3;ribo $231,
000 in the same length of time.
The full depths of Hendersonville
public spirit have ne-r been si-ne ?
The efficient and f curishing beard of
trade of this city has been the means
of organizing this public spirit and
before the efficient and flourishing
board of trade finishes the job this
city will be the metropolis of Western

At a meeting of the board Mr. A.
W. Honeycutt who had been request

conference with the board, was
unanimously elected superintendent
Ifor the year 1919-1920.
The Legislature of 1919 enacted
laws for the compulsory attendance
at the public schools which compels
the trustees to make room for from
150 to 200 additional pupils. It also,
fixed the minimum salaries of high
school teachers at $70.00 per month
and minimum salaries of
graded
school teachers at $62.50. This act j The plans for 1919-1920 include a

One million gallons a day sounds like
seme fluid, but it's the truth. Hender
sonville is to have that much abso
lutely pure, sparkling water to drink
every day if she wants it.
Last year the City Fathers, with
wise forethought, expended approxi
mately $1,400 in installing an elec
: trie . pumping .-station which delivers
to the filter plant 244,000 gallons of
water ?f day; which is estimated at
only one sixth the volumne of the
stream from which the supply is de
rived. . - ', ,t' "
This new supply, together with that
from ether sources, furnished more
water than the filter plant could jprop-
erly accommodate, so The Robert's
Filter Co., sent one of their experts -here
and after a most careful exami
nation of our water supply, including
the water sheds and filter plant, re
commended that the city equip our
present filter plant with an additional
' percolation vat and a chlorinatior.
This recommendation was accepted
and acted upon by the new city gov
ernment, after being first approved,
by the city's consulting engineer, Mr. .
White of Charlotte and Durham, and
the material for this installation Is
now being received.. . . . . 4 -
With this addition the filter plant
is guaranteed to furnish 1,000,000
gallons of absolutely pure water each
day. The water to be of such a high
quality as to pass any requirement
either State or National. ,
Hendersonville is to be muchly con;
gratulated on having a water supply
which will be entirely adequate bolV
as regards quantity, and, qual'ty for
many years.
