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 ican: . , Grasping. . Captain Kidd What's the trouble ?

Lewis & Son "The Undc-sliiflg Stcrc" Age its for Standard Fachlocs 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.
