HEAVIEST TRAVEL IX HISTOIS1T THROUGH HICKORY NUT GAT Columbus Oates of Bear Wallow, when in the city Thursday, reported the heaviest travel that had ever been on the Hickory Nut Gap road. Mr. Oates said his apple crop was sorry, and what few apples he had were very inferior but that they made cider and that he had disposed of from $2 j to $5 worth daily to tourists passing through. Many days he has to take down his "for sale" sign owing to in ability to meet the demand. Too lit tle rain had resulted in a poor corn crop, said'-Mr. Oates. MR. WARD'S PRIZE ACRE T F TVo woes in frnm Tlana fiat urday with a Porto Rico sweet pota to that partook of the likeness of a muskmelon as it had evenly formed , rows and didn't immitate a potato. j Mr. Ward says he will not bi able. to win the $50 prize on his piMi:e acre of corn as he will not be able to get more than 140 bushels instead of 150, for which he was striving.

Baldwin Buys Fordson Tractor Fine Flat Rock Estate Has 3Iodern Farm Equipment; Convincing Cow Feas Growth Demonstration Cited. George J. Baldwin of Flat Rock is the last of Henderson county's pro gressive farmers to resort to the more modern tvne of farming, having pur chased a Fordson tractor with pulver izer, disc harrow and gang plow. The purchase was made through the Rhodes Automobile, Company. Last spring F. S. Wetmur made a demonstration on the farm and cow peas were planted where the deep plowing was done, twice as deep as the soil had ever been broken. Last Tuesday wrhen Mr. Wetmur1 went out for another demonstration he was told by Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Slat tery, who is managing the farm work, that the growth of cow peas was materially better. Mr. Wetmur looked to his own satisfaction to find a much larger growth, the difference of which could be told to the very row where the deep plowing was done and where planting and cultivation afterward were the same. The tractor will do the wrork of eight horses and has a capacity for plowing eight acres a tlay. 10-hour day. It breaks the soil from 10 to 12 inches deep and two furrows 12' in ches wide. The harrow is equipped with 28 discs. Mr. Baldwin estimates that he has made a splendid investment in buy ing machinery to do the work of eight horses and saving a big feed account. It is also a great saver in the way of manual labor, taking the place of several men to follow those eight horses. MR. OATES SELLS VALUABLE PROPERTY IN CHARLOTTE The old Crown Hosiery mftl site, located in Charlotte, has been sold by the owners, R. M. Oates of Henderson ville, and Mrs. H. N.

This property, measuring 80 by 200 feet,is situated between Trade and Fifth streets, near the tracks of the Southern Railway company.

Only a short time remains for the people of Hendersonville to com ply with the sanitation law enacted by the last Legislature and avoid the penalties provided under the law. Every home that is not con nected with a water sewerage sys tem is affected. Discussing the new law and its enforcement Mayor J. Mack Rhodes says : "It is the duty of every good citizen to heartily join in the ef forts being made to rid the .com munity of typhoid fever and similar diseases'. The health authorities have pointed out the source of these diseases, and have shown the method of controlling thorn. With such knowledge available there is no ex cuse for the presence of a case of typhoid fever, and it is th i plain du'y of every resident to see that he and his family are rrotecwd by having his own home sanitated. "The health authorities have de monstrated that Typhoid fevr, diar rhea, summer complaint among the babies, and similar diseases are excre- ; ment bourne diseases. There is :io 5 guess work about this; it has been conclusively proven. It therefore fol lows, as the health authorities point out, that the proper disposal of hu man excrement means the removal of the source of these diseases. In the fnr-fi nf these, admitted facta "i do not believe that there is a man in this auuvv ,n nwiaersonvuie ana tne open tnwn who will deliberately endaneer inS of the second- annual tour. The the lives of his own loved ones and the lives of his neighbors by failing to take the means provided and ad vised or safety. "Unfortunately every home can not be connected with the water sewer age system. But every home tan, and must have " a sanitary . privy. Self-preservation is the first law of nature. In providing a sanitary privy this 'natural law, as well as the State law, will be fulfilled. "Full information of the various types of sanitary privies that will be approved by the State Board of Health, which is charged with the duty of enforcing this act of the I eg islature, may be obtained from my office, or a .special bulletin will be mailed direct to the interested per son upon application to the iitate Board of Health, Raleigh. Sanitary inspectors representing th State Board of Health will begin their du ties the first of October, and it is time for those of our people who have not already taken action to g,'j' hsy. "The necessity -for rull compliance with the law is a double one. Poeh 1 -! losrn fllltV rests UT)Cil the head of each home. I believe j that all our citizens will see the matter ... . . Ml .1. 3 I in this lignt, ana wm aci accuru ingly. It will be a splendid record to have this town rated as cno hun dred percent sanitary by the Scate Board of Health, and it is a record that we may easily attain." NAMES' OF THOSE WHO : WILL SUPPORT BONDS Bond Advocates Procure Healthy last , of Signers Who Say They Will' Sup port School Bond Election. The following is a partial list of. those who have gone on record as favoring the bond election to pur chase the Noterman property for high school uses. Recent and more i , examination OI in aaapia- iblllty-ot this property is making tVlM. . 1- i j A many new supporters of the proposed bond issue. The more general reali- zation of the necessity of immediate' 0sl provision for the high school is in- formerly opposed to supporting the election as the best and only way out of a critical situa tion in the educational life of Hen dersonville. Double daily sessions with shorten ed periods will be the only possible way to handle the congested situa- i tion till provision is made. The trus- i .1 c n i , , ices cum lauuny nave aireauy an- i nounced the necessity of using the entire school building for the elemen tary school session till 12:30 p. in., at which time this school will be dis missed and the high school assem bled and held until 6 p. m. In order to reduce to a minimum the period of enforced congestion the following citizens have signed a paper which reads as follows: "We, the undersigned citizens ot Hendersonville, N. C., hereby prom ise to vote for School Bonds in the election to be held Septeinber 23, 1919, for the purpose of purchasing:. a i remodelling, and equipping the No- terman Place for high school pur poses.
