.in 1 p ime VOLUME XXXVII. NUMBER 36 HENDERSONVILLE. NORTH CAR OLINA, FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1922 FIVE CENTS COPY U AT: VVSLr MILLS RIVER FAIR T0BEHELD0CT.14 Mill. River Will Hold Fair in New School . Building ' October 14th. Saturday, October 14th, is the day set for the' fair at Mills River. Pre parations are being made for one of the biggest fairs ever held in Hen derson county, and there has been a great deal of enthusiasm manifested all over the county, for the value of such a fair is universally recognized. The fair will be held in the new Mills River school building, now be ing constructed, but which will be completed by the time for the fair. This building, when completed, will be one of the finest school buildings in Henderson county, and will pro vide an excellent place for the fair. There will be all the usual dis plays of farm produce and livestock, except that there will be more of them than at the average fair. It is planned to have this fair on a gigantic scale. The premiums offered for the Mills River fair are exceedingly generous. There is over $200 in prize money, donated by the citizens of Mills River and Hendersonville. The mer chants of this city have all been very generous in their contributions to ward the fair, the officials state, and their generosity is appreciated by the Mills River promoters. When, several weeks ago, the mat ter of the fair was brought up in a meeting at Mills River, the First Bank and Trust company, through J.xMack Rhodes, cashier, contributed $25 and immediately doubled it. The other banks have also been generous in their contributions. The officials in charve of the fair are, Dr. 5". E. Greenwood, president; John Arledge, yice president, and T. E. Osborne, secretary and treasurer. The premium list for the Mills River fair is now in the hands of the printers of this paper and will soon appear in leaflet form and later will be published in the columns of this paper. INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT This country is no longer a repub lic, as an employer of labor has not the right and the power to employ whom he pleases. Likewise we are far from living in a country that is democratic unless an employe has the right and power to hire himself to the employer at whatever wage he pleases, and work for whomsoever he pleases unmolested by any man or set of men. I have always been in sympathy with the laboring man, and shall con tinue so to be, but he must learn that violence is to be the last remedy, j Many of the laboring people of this ; country uu nuu iuiuw mat me uiuui organizations are controlled by for eigners, or people of foreign ex traction, who do not care much for our constitution. These leaders are paid large salaries. The laboring people of this country contribute liberally of their wages to pay them these large salaries. When things have gone along in the even tenor of their way for a long while, and peo ple have become reasonably comfor table and satisfied in a fair degree, and commence to lag in their de votion to the leaders of organized labor, said leaders must do some thing to hold their constitutents in line. Consequently about the first thing they do is to kick up a row be tween labor and capital, and cause strikes to be called. These leaders of labor will listen to no sort of overtures looking to a settlement of the differences that have arisen. They must have the whole hog or none. And millions of people suffer for the acts of the few. There are comparatively few of the people of this country who are mixed up in these strikes, say not more than a million all told. There is one hundred and ten million who are not mixed up in them. These one hun dred and ten million must suffer for the acts of the one million. I believe the organizations have done much for labor in this country and that they will continue to do much for it. But one thing is cer tain, and that is they must recognize the right of people who do not belong to the organizations, to work for whom they please and for whatever wage they please. This is the privi lege every person has or is supposed to have, who is obedient to the stars and stripes, and who believes in our form of government. It is contrary to all law to molest a man in his peaceful employment, who does not do what some organization wills. He must have the right to pursue the course he thinks best. That is wkat this government undertakes to guar antee hhn, and what he must have in this country, or the government fails. Born of love for freedom, this government of ours should not con tinue to permit certain invisible forces to molest liberty-loving, law abiding citizens, who seek to serve no government save that of the Unit ed States of America, who do not be lieve in any other flag than that of this country, and who remain un trammeled by any organization' which tends to overthrow our contribution. What is meant "is simply this : If a ' man not belonging to a union desires to work in a railroad shop or aay other place under the sun, he should be free to do so, without fear ' of death or bodily harm at tlje hands of any organization, or organization ' sympathizers. ? On the ' other k4 rsl fV0T,i(j i,0t refuse te Kst t Balfour Orphanage Will Be Moved Bids for the construction of a modern, semi-fire proof orphanage on the Sluder farm at Swannona, near Asheville have been called for. The orphanage has formerly been located at Balfour, and has been known as the Balfour orphanage, but the property on which it is located has been purchased by the Home Ice and Oil company, of this city, who are also the owners of the Balfour Rock quarry, near the orphanage. Plans for the construction have been completed, and call for a $65, 000 "building. In the new plant, there will be room for a great many more children than there has been formerly. The Mountain Orphanage is a non denominational institution, and pro vides shelter for whatever children need it, and are not eligible for ad mission in other institutions. Thirty-Five Finish Summer School Course The county summer teachers school closed this week, after a very successful session, with more teachers enrolled than have ever attended the school before. Out of the number of 41 students enrolled in the school 35 passed all their courses and are eligible to teach in the county schools. The majority of these have already been placed in their various schools. Miss Ann Wilkins, who has been an instructor in the school for the sum mer, has returned to her home in Asheville, and Miss Bessie Steadman, also an instructor, is occupying her new home here. ' SURPRISE PARTY A very enjoyable surprise party was given Miss Mary Elizabeth Jus tus Wednesday, on the occasion of her sixteenth birthday. Unlike most surprise parties this was truly a sur prise to the young hostess, and in fact, had only been planned and ar ranged that day. When Miss Mary Elizabeth returned from a pre-arranged visit about four o'clock, she found her guests, sixteen in number, seated about the rook tables, and af ter a pleasant hour of rook, refresh ments of ice cream and cake were served. The guests were: Misses Eliza beth and Wilhelmina Robinson and guest, Belle Bowen and guest, Doro thy Brown, Mary and Helen Brooks, Kate Dotson, Mary Coral Bland, Theresa and Dora Sossamon, Sarah and Emma Goodlow Gregory, Mar tha Goodrich, and Helen Drafts. the demands of labor simply because it is organized. This is the principle that must prevail in this country be fore we can have any great measure of prosperity or any happiness or contentment worth while. How can a country whose citizens are con tinually at war with one another ex pect to have prosperity and content ment? It cannot have, and things will go from bad to worse all the while, and we will soon be face to face with Russian Bolshevism. The American people do not ob ject to labor organizations, rather they want to see labor organized, but what they object to is the attempt of the organized minority to force its desires upon the unorganized major ity, through force, or the power of invisible governments which are in conflict with our constitution and our laws. If this sort of thing is kept up, and maintains its position, it will force the majority to organize in op- gosition, and ' we will ' have nothing ut Bolshevism in' this country. . . Wf C RECTOR.

The uniforms for Battery C, 117th Field artillery, have arrived, and the battery presents a very good appear ance in their new clothes. The aspect of a regular outfit is being taken on by the local artillerymen. In a short time the big guns and pistols are expected to arrive. No rifles are issued to field artillery ex cept for dress parades and cere monies. The battery store room is full of clothing and equipment.

The , total cost of equipment for the entire battery is over $20,000. The total equip ment cost will be over $5,000, so Hen dersonville will have a well equipped battery. The battery goes to Camp Bragg, at Fayetteville, N. C, between the 1st and 10th of next month, for two week's training, after which it wilL return to Hendersonville and settle down to drill, as usual. The trip to camp has been looked forward to by the boys for some time, and all are expecting a jolly p;ood time. It is hoped that the two Daseball teams ' will be able to get some very much needed practice while at camp. After camp, the football teams will be organized. Men desiring to make the trip to camp may enlist now, and count on enjoying a wonderful two weeks at Camp Bragg. The battery invites any of the city officials who may desire to accom pany them on the trip and see just what is being done to make better citizens and more efficient citizen soTdiers. All business men are called upon to show their "regard for the welfare of their country by making arrangements for their employes to go to camp. Information regarding the battery and the trip to Camp Bragg may be obtained from Thomas J. Hyder, at the Henderson County Bank.

I Cliff, coroner, are at Mills River to- day to hold an inquest over the re : mains of a man who is thought to be George Hunter, who disappeared i seven or eight years ago and was never heard of. The body was found on a tract of land that was formerly the property of Mr. Hunter, and which he sold just prior to his disappearance. Speculation is rife as to how he met his end, some claiming that he was murdered for his money. OFFICERS CAPTURE DISTILLING OUTFIT A complete distilling outfit, in cluding an 80-gallon still, 15 gallons ; of "moonshine," and several gallons I of beer, was captured in the Sugar I I.oaf Mountains, about 18 miles s-outh of Hendersonville Thursday, 1 by prohibition oxicers, W. T. Moffitt, l Federal Prohibition Agent and " W. W. Owens, Deputy Sheriff of. Polk ! County were the officers making the seizure.

All the exterior wood work is being gone over, and the faint adds greatly to. the Appearance of the office. oultry Association Meets Saturday, 29th BOOSTERS WIN INITIAL HALF Wayneiville Gives Hendersonville Hard Fight For Initial Half, But Boosters Win. With one game needed to win the first half of the Western North Caro- lina League, Hendersonville went to Waynesville Wednesday and cinched the first half of the flag by winning the first game of the double header by a score of 5 to 3. Moyer hurled a wonderful game for Hendersonville, allowing but five scattered hits and the rest of the team gave him excellent support, playing errorless ball. There were several bonehead plays on the part of the Mountaineers that were inopportune for a team with a fighting chance at the pennant, which Waynesville had. The teams were scoreless until the sixth inning. In this frame, Lance came to the bat first, and singled and stole second. Austin walked and went to second. McCuiston was hit by a pitched ball. Richardson error ed on Shuford's grounder and ano ther wild throw by Sentelle allowed the Boosters to score two men. In the seventh, Waynesville tallied three runners, but the game was al ready in Moyer's pocket by that time. The second game was unnecessary, as Hendersonville had already won the first half of the season, but nevertheless, it was a very good game. Corn and Wilson were the batteries. Hendersonville again played errorless ball. The score stood 2 to 1 in favor of Waynesville at the end of the second game. There was one of the biggest crowds on record at the game in Waynesville to wit ness the game that decided the win ner of the first half. STANDING OF THE LEAGUE Following is the standing of the Western North Carolina League at the close of the first half of the sea son : Club Won Hendersonville 26 Waynesville 23 Canton . 18 Asheville 15 Lost Pet. 16 .619 18 .561 23 .439 25 .375 HENDERSONVILLE LOSES Starting off with a two-run lead in the initial inning, Hendersonville steadily lost ground Tuesday until the game was lost to Canton by the score of 4 to 2. "Uncle Jim" Gudger pitched for Canton, and seemed to get the goat of the local boys. Houston held out for six innings and was replaced by Pegram. The visitors won the game in the sixth inning when two runs were rung up by them. SUPPORT THE BALL TEAM In the game at Waynesville Wed nesday Hendersonville defeated Way nesville and won the first half of the season before a record breaking crowd of 924. On the day previous Hendersonville played Canton at the City Park before 250 people. What's the matter with Hendersonville that she can't muster up but 250 fans to witness the crucial series of the first half ? Surely with the brand of base ball Hendersonville is playing she de serves a much better attendance at the games here. It would encou rage Manager Moyer and the team to know that the people of this city appreciate a winning team. Let's all go to the game next Mon day when the Boosters open the sec ond half of the season and give the boys a good send off. What say you? Boosters Win Their Last Game of Season The final game of the first half of the season went to Hendersonville by : a victory of 5 to 2 over Waynesville, who has been the only team to ser- iously threaten the pennant so far. Luther hurled for the locals, and ; was hit freely. His support in the j field was perfect, however, and his . team mates could hit the pill. j Waynesville started the ball roll- j ing in the first inning by making two , runs. In their half of the opening inning, Hendersonville duplicated Waynesville's score, and from then on held the Mountaineers scoreless. A home run from the bat of Shuford in the second half of the first inning helped things along. Clayton scored three runs, one of these a homer. ENJOY PICNIC Thnrsdnv nftprnnnn Th Divon ' Health Resort held a picnic at Ka nuga Lake. Mrs. Colt, Mr. and Mrs. Harbison, Miss Hunt and a few others were also invited. The party pre pared their picnic supper over a camp-fire and the roast wieners, hot coffee and toasted marshmallows were heartily enjoyed. Members of Poultry Association Will Meet Here Saturday, July 29th. The members of the Henderson Country Poultry association will meet at the courthouse Saturday, July 29th, to perfect plans for the poultry fair and set the date on which the ; fair will be held. . Interest in the poultry business in this section has been increasing by j the work of the association, the prin , cipal object of which is to show peo ! pie that poultry can be raised at a j profit in Henderson county and that : the sale of eggs can be made to pay. j Last year, the association held a i fair at the courthouse, and despite ' miserable weather conditions prevail- ing at the time the fairVas held, the interest manifested was great.
