3 ' ft The Usages of War.
War is uecessiiily bad enough un
der any cu'cumstauces, but its laws
and usages are steadily changing for
the better. In very early times r.!l pris
oners were ruthlessly put to the sword
or reduced "to slavery, and as for the
property rights of the belligerents they
did not exist. In the famous paudicts
of Justinian it is stated without the
least equivocation that au enemy's
property of. every description is res
nullius (that is to say. is without an
owner) and that occupancy, by which
the captor makes it his own. is an in
stitution of natural law. If things were
as bad as that so late as the time of
Justinian what must they have been
in still earlier times? New Xork Amer

PER CENT
INCREASE
In Postoffice Receipts in This
City Since Last Year
The receipts of the Hendersonville postoffice for the
first fifteen days of August, 1910, show an increase of 40
psr cent, over tne corresponding period of last year.
Comment is unnecessary. The fact speaks for itself.
It is interesting to note that this greatly increased bus
iness is handled without any increase in the postoffice force.
You can "therefore readily imagine that Mr. Jackson and his
force are leading a strenuous life these days. They were
working hard a year ago; they are working 40 per cent,
harder now, and there are only 24 hours in the day.
At Offices whose business is in this proportion through
out the year have from six to eight regular clerks and five
of six carriers.
But John Grant's presistent efforts have insured the
erection of an adquate government building in this town,
and then it will be a heap easier to handle the vast volume
of business.
me Peo
pie Here
Fhan Ever Before
The crowd is here. There was a very big crowd here
last week ; a further instalment arrived Sunday ; and the
big excursion came in three sections Wednesday. And
they were big sections. Ask the transfer men.
There are more people in Hendersonville now than
ever before in the history of the town.
iPT" We learn that, after most folks thought the ex
cursion was through, No. 41 arriving early Thursday
morning dropped ninety-five more trunks here. We don't
know when this thing will end.
ALDERMEN STRUGGLING
WITH SUNDAY PROBLEM
At a meeting of the town council
Monday night an ordinance was in
troduced prohibiting the sale, deliv
ery, manufacture or make of can
dies, confectioneries, fruits, vege
tables ice-cream, meat or photo
graphs on Sunday in Hendersonville.
The ordinance was enacted, J. M.
Rhodes, J. M. Stepp and J. W. Mc
Iutyre voting for it J. D. Davis
and F. Z. Morris apposed it Mayor
Staton announced, before the vote
was taken, that he was opposed to
to it, and W. C. Rector, who was un
avoidably absent, was also opposed
to it Their opposition is based on
the ground that the ordinance is un
fairly discriminatory; that it permits
a man to buy cigars, but forbids a
lady to buy candy; that it forbids
the " manufacture ; or sale " of veg
etables but permits the "manufact
ure or sale" of wearing apparel; that
it singles out a few articles to for
bid, and leaves everything else wide
open. Those who oppose it on these
grounds say they , will try , at the
next meeting to have it amended so
as to put the same embargo on one
business as on another.
