u-A-T" :y or 01 we VOLUME XXXVII. NUMBER 30 HENDERSONVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1922 FIVE CENTS COPY Head Camp Officers Dine Here To-Night Committee to Meet Woodmen Yesterday Afternoon For Knoxville Left All final plans for the entertain ment of the Woodmen were whipped into shape at a meeting of the com mittee on Droeram and executive af- fairs held Wednesday night at the city hall. This committee is com posed of John T. Wilkins, chairman; K. G. Morris and Wiltshire Griffith. There was not much for the com mittee to do but put in shape the loose ends of the program, but this, considering the magnitude of the plans, was an exceedingly important undertaking. At the meeting of the committee, the finance committee reported that the $1,000 heeded-for the entertain ment of the Woodmen had been raised, and that all was in readiness for the coming of the world wide order. The chairman of the commit tee which had in charge the financial matters of the entertainment was composed of J. Mack Rhodes and C. E. Brooks. The raising of this amount has in itself an arduous un dertaking, but due to the hard work and zeal of the committee in charge it has been accomplished in good time. The sovereign executive committee will meet the Hendersonville com mittee in Knoxville. The Henderson ville committee left here Thursday and will reach Knoxville in the early part of the afternoon and meet the distinguished guests of the "Land of the Sky,'' returning with them to Hendersonville. On this trip, the Woodmen will have an excellent chance to view the beautiful scenery along the way and see the advantages western North Carolina offers. It is for this reason that the. trip by motor is being made. Arriving in Hendersonville, the party, of which Sovereign Command er Frasier is the head, will be given a reception by the people of Hender sonville, after which they will go to Duncraggan hotel, where they will be (lining their stay here. The following are the men who (Continued on Page 12) S. C. SHERRIFS TO BE HERE JULY 4TH Officer Will Make Carolina Terrace Headquarter The convention of sheriffs of South Carolina will meet in Hender sonville July Fourth. Headquarters for the convention will be at the Carolina Terrace. There is no definite information available at present as to the exact number of officers of the law who will meet here on the Fourth, but there will be enough to enforce good order during their stay in the moun tains. It has been suggested that as a method of entertainment the offi cers be introduced to mountain still hunting by the Henderson county officials, who have grown rather adept at the pratice of late. Besides the sheriffs, there will be a number of other interested peo ple accompanying them, adding great ly to the crowd that Hendersonville will entertain on the Fourth. The announcement that the sheriffs will be here makes the third convention that will meet here on the fourth of July, the Dokeys, W. O. W's and Sheriffs. Forkless, Spoonless, Luncheon Is Enjoyed S. H., Wright addressed the mem bers of the Kiwanis club at the week ly luncheon Thursday at the Carson. Mr. Wright is the representative of the Gilbert C. White company, of Durham, and will supervise the con struction of the water line -from the Pisgah water shed. Mr. Wright ex plained how the water line would be constructed and said that it would be complete in its entirety by this time next year. That Hendersonville is not now surpassed by any city in the way of water equipment was the opinion expressed bv Mr. Wright. Whether or not society in Hender sonville will follow the style set by the Kiwanians at their lvuicheon is a matter of conjecture. The tableware was an innovation. The only piece of silver at the plate of each guest was a knife. Nothing else. The first courses served was ice cream. Following came numberless rarities of vegetables, peas, beane cabbage, lettuce. It was remarked by a Ki- wanian that seme of his fellows were peculiarly apt and seemed to have the techneque of eating with a knife down pretty well, but most of them contributed to the general fund of humor. A prize was offered to the man pre senting the cleanest napkin at the end of the meal. This went to Chas. Rozzello, but it is stated on good au thority that the furniture man was possessed of more than one napjdn. A CORRECTION In lest week's issuo of The Tines, in the Golden Rule Sale ad, Mnflbine organdy, 85c value was QuoteM a 47 cents at Lewis' Department Stare. The price should have rtmi 47 1-2 cento. KANUGA LAKE INN IMPROVED Kanuga Lake Inn Showing Many Great Improvements Under Mr. Cresswell. Those who 'have known Kanuga Lake Inn in the past will note with a great deal of interest the many im provements being made and the changes taking place at that popular summer hotel. This year, the Inn is under the management of James P. Cresswell. In the category of Southern hotel men there is perhaps not one so well fitted to manage so popular a hotel. Smeen years of experience have fit ted him to know all the ins and outs of the game. His rise in the hotel business has been almost meteoric. Starting as a storeroom boy, he is now one of the best known hotel men in the South. For some time the grounds at Ka nuga have been allowed to depreciate so that a great deal of the natural beauty and freshness of the sur roundings has been lost. This has been remedied by cutting out the underbrush and attending to the grass, so that all the landscape may be seen. Kanuga offers two chief outdoor amusements the acquatic sports and golf. In preparation for the summer, the boat houses have been gone over, all the boats painted and some added, making over a dozen boats for the use of the guests. A special feature is the number of bath houses provided. There are 50 pri (Continued on Page 12) SUES HUSBAND FOR $10,000 Wife of L. G. Thornton Attache His Property Here. Mrs. Ella Trice, alias Mrs. Ella Thornton, has entered suit in the su perior court of Henderson against her husband, Leonidas G. Thornton, for the sum of $10,000. Mrs. Thorn ton is suing by her next friend, B. F. Hood. Mrs. Thornton states that she mar ried Thornton on the 13th day of September, at her home on Fordick avenue, Glendale, in the city of Brooklyn, state of New York, and that tie represented himself to be Leon Trice, of Henderson County, North Carolina, and seemed to be a man of character and good breeding. She married him because she loved and trusted him and thought that he loved her. She states that she lived with Trice about sdven months, and that from, the time she met Trice un til February 21, 1921 he was a mem ber of the U. S. Navy, being a chief Yoeman, at a salary of $160 per month. Soon after their marriage, Mrs. Thornton alleges, her husband be ( Continued on Page 12) Board of Trade Now Chamber of Commerce It is now the Chamber of Com merce of Hendersonville, and no longer the Board of Trade. This ac tion, unanimously voted,' was taken Wednesday evening at a call meet ing of that organization. President Bell, in advocating the change, stated that 95 per cent of the commercial organizaions throughout the countrv are known as chambers t nf nnmmorno nnt that snph fl name had become sort of a trade mark uni versally. The change was recom mended by the United States Cham ber of Commerce. In making his report to the cham ber last evening, Chairman F. S. We mur of the industrial committee stated that his body is making pro gress toward locating in Henderson ville several enterprises. NO PARKING AT HIGH SCHOOL No automobiles will be permitted to park on the high school ground on July Fourth. Ample parking facilities are avail able on 8th and 9th avenue for the many cars which will doubtless be seeking space on that day. This announcement was made to day by A. W. Honeyciitt, chairman of the grounds committee incident to the Fourth of July celebration. BLUE LANTERN The Blue Lantern Tea room is again open this seaspi. This time the home of J. E. Shipman, on Sev enth avenue, east, has been used by Mrs. Helen Howard for the purpose. The usual . exhibit of basketry and other mountain handicraft will be on display and tea and sandwiches be sold.

Died Here It. is extremely appropriate that the first national convention of the Woodmen of the World outside of Ine city of Omaha, at which headquar ters are located, should be in Hen iliirsnnvillp. It is aDDroDriate for this reason ; the great founder of 'he order breathed his last in this city. Joseph Cuil-m Kooc was tne loiin Aor of the fraternhl order. Aiut 30 years ago, being interested in fraternal work and insurance, he fcunded the Wooden en a small or- dci. In a few twn it had-grown ti immpnse nronortions and had spread over the continent of North America. Mr. Koot was tne nrst Sovereign Commander of the order. and remained so until his death. In December, 1911, Mr. Root was on a tour, looking over the, work of the Woodmen in several states. At Cincinnati he contracted a bad cold, and later, coming to Hendersonville fn ntf-pnrl an initiation Of about 1UU men, his cold developed into pneu mnia. He was rooming at the Gates hotel, which has since been destroyed by fire, and there, after an illness of only three or four days, he died. It is felt by many that to locate the Woodmen sanitorium here would be the most fitting way to commemo ra'tethe death of the man whose life has been so much benefit to the world. A perpetual monument to the memory of Joseph Cullen Root, located, in the Blue Ridge mountains among which he died, and dedicated to the saving of life, wilL in allprob ability, be the outcome of the Wood Men's1 visit here. : If s. - -l..- BASEBALL FANS I PLAN NIGHT FAIR Fair Will Be Held Between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, Main St. Beginning Monday, there will be a "Night Fair" here all next week. The fair Will be held on Main street, from Baker's Art Gallery to the Bland hardware company, and will be entirely under the charge of local boys and girls. The purpose of having this fair is to raise funds for the improvement of the local baseball diamond and to aid the Hendersonville Boosters. The attractions of the fair will be many and varied. There will be the usual "nigger" to pitch baseballs at, and more than 20 booths presided over by local young ladies, at which there will be a variety of good things and amusements. The whole pro gram for the fair will not be an nounced, it -being the plan to have some things in the nature of a sur prise, but the promoters promise that there will be something that has neer been seen even in a profession al turnival. A great many of the young people who are talented en tertainers have promised their sup port to the fair, and all indications are that it will score a really great success. The time selected for the fair is the p ost propitious that could have Been found. During the week that the fair is held the W. O. W. con vention will meet here and the Do- key.- will be in town. Besides that, their is an increasing numbe of summer people coming in, a great m;inv of themieal baseball fans who will he glad to do anything to help the team along.

The Dramatic Order of the Knights of Koran will meet in this city July 4th, with headquarters at the Caro lina Terrace hotel. The1 convention hall on the grounds of the Terrace will be used for the meetings of the order.

"Smilin' Through" will beep you smilin' through many montk after you've seen it. COUNTY FAIR CONSIDERED Experienced Fair Man Would Pro mote County Fair; Seeks Indorsement The endorsement of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday was sought by the J . C. Roberts Exposition Company, which company proposes to hold a county fair in Henderson ville in October. Mr. Roberts first appeared before the chamber's agri cultural emmittee. This committee, under the chairmanship of John Ew bank, outlined to Mr. Roberts what it believed to be desired respecting premiums, the character of the at tractions, etc., stressing the fact that unless such a fair gave the farmers every consideration it would not serve the communiy properly. Mr. Roberts met the committee's de mands, agreeing to put up $1,000 in cash for premiums, and to encourage the farmers in every way practicable. Itr. Roberts then went before fne Chamber's board of governors, stat ing that he desired the moral sup port of that body. He was informed that proper references would be re quired as well as a surety bond, the governors feeling that the Chamber's moral support would operate to the Chamber's serious disadvantage were the fair to become involved, and in order to amply protect itself and the public generally Mr. Roberts would have to assure is as to his financial responsibility as well as ability to manage such an enterprise. He stated that he would endeavor to do this. The Chamber's governors are anx ious to see a fair held in Henderson county of county-wide appeal, and have only hesitated in promoting it for the reason that a county farm demonstration agent is about the only medium through which the far mers might be reached. The ap pointment of a county agent will likely be made in a short time, too late "however for a 1922 fair, but, according to Secretary Penney, a better 1923 fair would be preferred to a poor one in 1922. Mr. Roberts claims to be an ex perienced fair man. His operation; of a fair, however, said Mr. Penney, would make it a personal instead of community investment, the latter being a much better way, in his opinion. In the meantime the board of governors are withholding their en dorsement of Mr. Roberts' proposi tion until he arranges bond and sat isfies them as to his references, etc. HOLD UP MEN ROB E. C. LYDA Fruitland Man Robbed Near Patton Memorial Hospital What is perhaps the boldest rob bery that has taken place here in some time occurred Wednesday af ternoon about 3 :30 p. m. C. E. Lyda, of Fruitland. was driv ing in his Ford car in the direction of Hendersonville and was approaching the Patton Memorial hospital just outside the city limits when he saw a Dodge car at the side of the road and two men apparently working at it. The men hailed him as his car came abreast of the Dodge and he alighted to give whatever assistance he could. No sooner had he stepped out of his car than the two men thrust pistols in his face and demanded his money. Lyda had in his possession about $18 which the men took and left in the direction of Asheville. Lyda turned his car around and gave pursuit, but he was soon out distanced by the faster car. As soon p.s he could, Lyda report ed his loss to the police in Hender sonville and every effort is being made to recover the loss and appre hend the robbers. Lyda was able to give a good de scription of the min and the car which will probably lead to their capture in the near future. The number of the car in which they were riding was 5810, he said, and it was a new Dodge roadster. In describing the men he said that one of them was "dressed up," and wore a black bow tie and that the other had on khaki riding breeches. As soon as the loss was reported to the Hendersonville authorities' a description of the ear and men was telephoned to police headquarters in Asheville in the hope that they might be able to stop the hold up men there.
