1 p Ml n V VOLUME XXXVIh NUMBER 33 HENDERSONVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, TUESDAY, JULY 11, 1922 FIVE CENTS COPY Jtl ai'iii MANY CITIES WANT HOME Columbia, Aiken and Charleston Cite Advantages Offered For Woodman Home. After inspecting locations in Spar tanburg and Saluda, the Imperial Council of the Woodman, of the World returned to Hendersonville Saturday, seming glad to get back. The council is composed of all the advisors and sovereign commanders from all sections of the United Stat es, and it is the second time that it has made the tour of western North Carolina, coming here once before this year for the same purpose, that of selecting a location for the Wood man home. The committee was joyfully receiv ed, both at Saluda and Spartanburg. They were escorted from the station at both places and shown the most favorable places offered for the erection of the great home. The Woodmen desire a tract of land in area about 200 or 500 acres. Two or three such tracts are under con sideration at Saluda. Although Saluda was promised careful consideration, no definite ac tion incident to the location of the home was taken. The Woodmen also stopped at Tryon and inspected sites there which might be used for the home. There are many other places be sides the western North Carolina cit ies that are bidding for the Woodmen home, and are making attractive pro positions, too. According to South Carolina papers, business men of Columbia are offering a part of the old Camp Jackson tract of land as a site for the proposed home, claiming that the location in the sand hills among the pines will be particularly beneficial to tubercular patients. Charleston people are offering a tract near Summerville, about 25 miles from Charleston, while Aiken is of fering another site, claiming that theirs would be an advantageous lo cation on account of the healthfull ness of the particular climate. The Woodman committee will visit several more cities before making any definite decison regarding the location of the home. It is proposed that the Woodmen make a trip to Columbia and Char leston next Sunday and inspect the various sites offered there for the home, but it is not known definitely that they will m ike this trip at the present time. LOCAL ATHLETES SHOW UP WELL Clean Exhibition at Gymnasium Create Much Enthusiasm. Two wrestling matches and three 1 boxing matches at the city gymna sium last night were well attended and worth while. The program was begun by a bat tle royal between three colored boys that waxed fast and furious and was amusing at times. The first wrestling match was be tween Nolan Faulkner, of Hender-. sonville and Hatcher, of G. M. A. Hatcher outweighed Faulkner by a number of pounds, but the bout was interesting nevertheless. Hatcher . secured two out of three falls. ! Faulkner made the first round fast and kept Hatcher busy in that round. I Holtzclaw a Hendersonville boy ' and a Greenville wrestler, gave an interesting exhibition. Although the match was a draw, it is thought by many that it should go to Holtzclaw, as he took the offensive all the time, and tossed his heavy oponent over his head repeatedly. The boxing events were begun by two fly weight pugilists Harold Ward and J. K. Gilreath, who waged a fast and furious combat, and promise to develop real ability. The bout, three rounds, was a draw. Jim Ward and Bill Guice stepped one round in which Guice injured a linger and was forced to stop. Gra- j ham Curry then bravely entered the : ring and gave the prettiest exhibition I of the evening, although he did not go the limit of his ability. Curry has ..uifa n Wnl rpmitatinn as a boxer. 1 and fans are very anxious to see him matched with some one of his own class. The last bout of the evening was probably the most interesting of them all. Young FSncher of G. M. A. stepped a three round bout with Gerald Buford, of Hendersonville, who outweighed him by 20 pounds. Fancher, shifty, quick and long-limbed, showed real ability against his heavier and stronger oponent and the match went to a draw. All of the events were refereed by Mr. Buford, of Buford's Book Store. He is much interested in pro moting athletic activities among the young men and boys of the city and is giving a great deal of his time, very generously, to it. The proceeds of the night, and all nights on which admittance is charg ed, go to the purchasing of equip ment for the gymnasium. It must be awful for this woman who speaks 17 different languages-to keep a secret-in all of them. It takes a marriage license to get married on, and it also takes an auto license generally. Ill R'member f HOW youR omsciEfice would bother, i WAUl : . ' I I I m PLANS BEING MADE FOR NEW CHURCH Will Model Building After Centinary Church in Knoxville. Rev. A. J . Baylor, architectural secretary and chairman of the exe cutive committee of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, was pres ent at the meeting; of the building committee of the First Methodist church of this city Friday. The members of the committee authorized the preliminary plans for the new rhnrrh to he made. It has been decided almost definite ly that the new church will be modeled after the Centinarv jrhurch, at Knoxville, Ten?-, wnich w oi tha double unit plan that is liesueu for the Hendersonville church. Dr. Baylor declared that the Me thodists have an excellent site for the church. i After the meeting, Dr. Baylor made a trip to Lake Junaluska, and ! then returned to his home in Nash ville, where the plans for the church will be made. j The entire committee was present, and all were very enthusiastic con-' ('ining the building of the church. The committee is composed of C. E. a. Miller, C. F. Bland, F. S. Wetmur and Dr. Guy E. Dixon. MEETING OF SPORTSMEN New Members Elected to Izaak Wal ton League of America. The Henderson county chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America met Monday night in the mayor's court room at the city hall. The meeting was presided over by Ernest L. Ewbank, the president and routine business was transacted. Buttons and cards were furnished the members present. Several gentlemen were elected members of the chapter at this meeting-Attention was called to the Lea gue's magazine and each member was made a committee of one to solicit subscribers for the publication. All members were urged to at tend the meetings of the Chapter and assist with the business of the organi zation. The Izaak Walton League is com posed of gentlement who wish to pre serve good sportsmanship in'the com munity and who have the interest of the wild game and fish in this sec tion at heart. In their efforts to re stock streams and encourage good sportsmanship they are doing their city and county an invaluable ser vice. TAG DAY NETS HOSPITAL $231 The Hospital Association announc es that by the united efforts of their young lady assistants on "Tag Day" the Association realized $231.00. For this assistance from the young women, the help of the papers and for the generosity of the public the Association expresses sincere thanks. This money will be used in the gene ral up-keep of the hospital for which the Association is entirely responsi ble. When in Rome do as the Romans do, but when in bad don't do as the bad do'. A man with a pull gets worked a good deal. It's a wonder some of these cele breties don't forget and marry the game mam over again. THIS CITY SHOWS FINE FIRE RECORD City Fire Records Show 13 Fires Since Jan. 10, But No Losses. The record of the fire department of the city of Hendersonville shows that, in regard to fire, this city is an exceedingly safe place in which to live. Since the first of the year of 1922, there have been 13 fire calls and no losses. In some cases, the fire was under control before the fire depart ment arrived, but in the majority of the fires it was due to the rapidity with which the department functions that no losses were reported. It must be remembered that the Henu'JrecnvilX'WWBtment is onlr voluntary on'o f"d the members do not receive any pay for their services, j There are 1 3 members of the volun-! tary fire department, all living orj working within two blocks of the city hall. On account of this, the fire truck can leave immediately for wherever it is called. . i A record of no losses by fire for half a year is one that any city can be proud of, and a record that few cities have. It not only shows that an efficient fire department is pro tecting our homes, but that condi tions prevailing in Hendersonville are not favorable for the rapid spread ing of fire that so often causes seri ous damages. The chief of police, Otis Powers, is also the chief of the fire depart ment, and the driver of the truck, the only paid man in the department is Alexander Hill. j South Carolinians Coming This Week The South Carolina Clothiers' As sociation meets tomorrow, making j their headquarters at the Carolina j Terrace durng their stay in Hender-1 sonville. For three days the South Carolina clothiers will be in our midst, and no doubt they will clothe the days spent here in brilliant colors. The 1 program of their activities here has not been announced, except for the 1 night of the 13th. On this night, there will be a banquet at the Ter-: race that the South Carolinians will probably make the gayest of their stay here. It is announced that there will probably be in excess of 250 men at- j tending the convention, and that as a great numbef of them will probably , bring their ladies with them, there , win be a really good crowd of them. 1 DAHLIA SHOW WILL BE ! HELD IN AUGUST The ladies of the Woman's Club are again calling the attention of the flower-lovers of the county to the annual Dahlia Show in August While it is designated dahlia show ; any and all flowers of the season will be on display. Upon the several ' former occasions of the kind the flowers sent for exhibition have been j well worthy of their places and the j Woman's Club trusts that the usual interest may be displayed upon this as upon other occasions. WINN-ALLEN Miss May Winn and Henry Edgar Allen, each of Danville, Va., were married Thursday evening in the presence of a few friends at the ' home of Dr. E. E. Bomar, with Dr. Bomar, officiating. Witnessing the ' ceremony were Miss Sadie Moore, of j Hendersonville and Mr. and Mrs. Al-; bert Gourley, of Danville, Va. The young couple were strangers ! in the city and soon alter the cere mony left for their home in Danville. BOOSTERS WIN OVER ASHEVILLE Asheville Pitching Ace Fails To Hold Boosters Monday The Boosters pounded Allison for a 8 to 5 victory at the city park yes terday, pulling a little out of the hole they have allowed themselves to slip into in the last week.

Benefit Fair Will Continue This Week The benefit fair for the ball team and the ball park', will continue through this week, it is announced by the management. The fair, located between Baker's Art Gallery and Harris' grocery store, has-been very popular with the summer people as well as the town folk the past week. This week, many new attractions are being put on by the fair. A col ored band and a minstrel show are chief among these, and the crowds are thronging to hear and see. An Indian who will handle wild snakes (no home brew in this) will perform his feats for the edification of the pubic and there will be other new features of like interest. The booths offering chances at the many prizes offered have proved the most popular part of tfte tair so far, ai.il these will be continued.

City Needs Good Lighting System RETURNS ARE NOW VERIFIED No Surpises in Primary Returns For Democratic Party in North Carolina. (By M. L. Shipman.) Raleigh, July 10. Official returns from the various judicial and the third congressional district are in the hands of the state board of elec tions and show practically the same results reported on the night of the second primary. Henry A. Grady, of Sampson county, is nominated for judge in the 6th district over Geo. W. Ward, of Duplin. This was the only judgeship contest which re quired a second primary to determine the winner. The only fight for solicitor which attracted state-wide attention was be tween John W. Hinsdale and W. F. Evans, both of Raleigh, in the 7th judicial district, composed of the counties of Granklin and Wake. Mr. Evans had a lead of 292 in the "first round" and came out of the second race with 1862 "to the good." He carried both Wake and Franklin by a vote which surprised everybody. Another surprise in Wake was the big vote given Miss Lottie Lewis over that of Lon D. Stevenson, incumbent, for county treasurer. Three other aspirants for this nomination were eliminated in the first primary, with Miss Lewis leading Treasurer Steven son by 360 votes. In the second race her majority was 875. She will be the first woman elected to public office in this county and it is gen erally conceded that she will measure up to the requirements. After two previous efforts, Charles L. Abernethy wins the nomipation for congress in the 3rd district, de feating Major Matt H. Allen by around 1 500 majority. "The third time is a charm" with "Abbey" this year. Previously, he had been de feated by Col. W. T. Dortch. who died before the election, and later by Hon. S. M. Rrinson who served until his death a few months ago. In chambers here on Friday. Judge kThemas H,-Calvert denied the mo- f 1' .. r j t i r n ' ir t i . non oi voy. vviine ra. rerson, iaie candidate against Congressman E. W. Pou, that stocks owned by in dividuals in corporations be taxed in addition to that paid by the corpora tions themselves. Colonel Person contended that stockholders should bo required to pay taxes on their stocks in corporations the same as other personal property, and he sought to compel Revenue Commis sioner A. D. Watts to require the listing of these stocks. Judge Calvert took the position that in the face of a debatable issue it is improper for a judge of a court inferior to the supreme court to hold a statute unconstitutional and sus tained the demurrer presented by the attorney general representing the tax commissioner, who adheres to the opinion that to sustain the po sition taken by Colonel Person would mean doubling taxation on stocks in corporations. The judge held that legislative approval of the statute declared to be unconstitutional by the plaintiff in this case should be passed upon by the supreme court and Colonel Person gave notice of appeal to the higher tribunal. Reports from the six free emply ment offices in Asheville, Charlot te, Greensboro, Raleigh, Wilmington and Winston-Salem to the state di rector shows that a total of 241 men and 335 women were placed in po sitions during the month of June This is the largest number to find employment through these agencies, for a similar period, since the serv ice was instituted a little more than a year ago. The Raleigh office is receiving many requests for information con cerning employment in the wheat field of Kansas. Nebraska, the Dako- tas and other states of the northwest, ! but encourages no one to make the trip, on account of the cost of trans ! portation and the brief period cover I ed by the wheat harvest. i WOODMEN GOLFING AT KANUGA ' There is grave danger that the I Sovereign Executive committee of i the Wodmen of the World have a 1 split in this city among themselves. i Thcv are playing golf. j There is no game under the sun ' i that tries a man's temper as does , goif. When the Sovereign Comman der slices into the bunker on the ninth hole, there is no telling what he may say or do. So far, however, ! te fraternal officers have gotten along remarkably well and are still on speaking terms. i The scene of the golf tournament ' is the Kanuga Country Club. All! the prominent Woodmen who can dig trenches with a mashie in the j turf and have the proper vocabulary are striving for golfing honors. j The latest report is that Comman-' der Frazier is in the lead, but that there are a number of others who would give all the prized clubs in their possession to oust the execu tive. He, meanwhile, smiles and drives the globe a little farther than the next man. Light Service Here Could Be Re placed by Row of Lightning Bugs in Bottles. The Times is a long-suffering in stitution and has "swallowed" a world of disagreeable medicine with out protest, but we are not longer willing to subscribe to the homeo pathic doctrine of similia similibus curantur, without a protest as vigor ous as we know how to register. For time almost whereof the mem ory of man runneth not to the con trary, this town has submitted to a light service that is the subject of universal ridicule and worse. It is paying first class "rates for a light service that can be replaced amost as effectively with a row of bottled lightning bugs, and one goes home by the light of these effulgent globes that are eclipsed with the scintillat ing rays of vagrant asteroids to try to read by lights that would pale in to invisible twilight by the side of the glow of the phosphorescent end of a glow-worm in a jelly-tumbler! But that is not all. This same light and power outfit purports to furnish power to various industrial units in the town and round about it and for this service a price ample to com mand efficient and fairly regular de livery of current is charged and prompt payment demanded therefor, but as often as an important job de manding swift and uninterrupted ac tion on the part of the power plant is being handled just so often does some satirical tad-pole or sportive spring-lizzard skip over into the tur bine at the dam site and we get less power by a damn sight than we could get out of a hand organ with a Neopolitan picanninni at the crank handle. Our neighbor The News, records the fact that when it thunders in Brevard, the lights go out in Hen dersonville. But this pungent ob servation furnished by some other than the editor of that placebo pub lication is promptly apologized for in the next issue. We ate nut going to "take to the woods" on a i -reposition that U so everlastingly true that bo fore we "recant" we will be in jail and a row of sympathetic at:d mourn ing buzzards convened on the ridge pole of that most hospital institution. We have got enough of it .md we don't mind saying so. Furthermore, we have ovher criti cisms in our arsenal so sensative that it is liable to explode if you shake the room. It is time that we get relief from this intolerable situation, and if we mistake not the temper of our citizen ship something is going to be done about it. Within a few miles of us is a great power development which is utilizing power developed on North Carolina soil from North Carolina's streams and all of which power is. if we are correctly informed, being carried over to our neighboring State. We need some of it here and we want it and we call the attention of the owners of this great develop ment that we are looking to them to consider our needs and consider ways and means to make this consideration tangible. Otherwise, some steps will be taken to make us noticeable. TAXES BEING EQUALIZED Board of Commissioners Reducing Taxes in Some Instances. The board of county commission ers have been exceedingly busy today and yesterday "equalling" taxes. In cases where lands adjoin and the taxes on one are higher than on the other, the taxes are adjusted equit ably, and in many other like cases, taxes have been adjusted. The commissioners will probably have to continue their meetings for several days more. They have been very busy in the last two days and there is still more work to do. EPWORTH LEAGUE RENDERS EXCELLENT PROGRAM A program of unusual interest was given Friday evening at Mrs. Rol lins' home in West Hendersonville by the Epworth League of the Metho dist church. The special feature of the enter tainment was an informal talk made by Dr. Blomquist, professor of Bio logy at Trinity College, Durham, N. C, on the flora of this section. In his remarks Dr. Blomquist said ,we had a good many wild flowers here that belonged to the same family of many which grew in Japan and the Far "Kasi. Tiuu-o v.cre at 1 -ast fifty kinds of moss native to tills section, he said. He also explained the dif ference between the laurel, rhodo dendron and ivy ivy and rhododen dron being of the same family while laurel was of another species. Dr. Blomquist is visiting in the vicinity in order to make a closer study of its plant life for use in his school work. Durng the evening Miss Dorothy Waldrop gave a vocal solo and Miss Aletta Plank a reading which were enjoyed. Punch was served at the concluson of the program. Mrs. P. H. Walsh and daughter, ac companied by Mrs. Harton Walsh and little daughter, of Wilmington, are spending some time with Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Penny at Laurel Park. 1 r r 4
