promises to be a riot of color, youth
and beauty. A s. " .
" Particularly interesting are the
plans of some of the, leading hotels
who will send groups of their guests
all costumed in one color and repre
senting the different., states ' from
which they hail.. - , '
As before stated fancy . dress is
not necessary and it is the 'desire of
the Committee that every ."business
house, hotel, boarding house, club,
Lodge, etc have :a representative in
the Pageant. Those who do not take
advantage of. this splendid opportun
ity to let people know that they are
doing business here and of helping
to make the Pageant a success, will
surely regret it. .
The Sunday Schools of the city
will present one of the most delight
ful contingents of this great spec

Citizen's of the Future.'?
Banners are being painted,, special
costume accessories and stage prop

117THISNOW
IN FAYETTEVILLE
Battery Left Monday . Night
Two Week' Encampment.
For
i Seventy-five Hendersonville hoys,
members of the 117th battery field
artillery, left yesterday on the nine
p. m. train f or, Fayetteville, N. C.
for a two week's encampment at
Camp Bragg.
; The afternoon was spent in getting
ready for the departure, and a squad
of men was seen in the latter part of
the afternoon rounding the men up
on Main street.
With all their equipment, issued
by the- government at a cost of over
120,000, the battery made a very
snappy appearance as they marched
to the station, where numbers of
their friends awaited them to wish
them good luck and a Splendid time.
The battery has probably reached
the camp by this time, and is already
experiencing some of the pleasures
promised them before they . left:
The 117th expects to return to
Hendersonville with a baseball team
and perhaps a football team. It is
certain that numbers of them will re
turn with a healthy tan on their
cheeks, and with healthier, more
physically fit bodies.
Negress Shot to Death
In Buncombe Sunday
C. Robinson, colored, shot and
killed Susan Gaston, negress, of Ar
den Sunday because, it is alleged,
that she refused to return with him
to Rutherfordton, from where , the
pair had just come. The shooting
took place in the home of the mur
derea woman's mother, and death
resulted instantaneously. Robinson
emptied the contents of his revolver
in the body of the woman, and. then
fled".
; Officers - of - both Buncombe and
Henderson county were called imme
diately, and took up the chase after
the negro, aided by blood hounds.
The sheriff ' of ' Rutherfordton
county has notified sheriffs and po
lice in all 'adjoining counties to keep
a look put for the escaping negro,
who left in the truck in which he and
his brother came: to Arden, and it is
thought to be merely a matter of
time before his capture is effected.
The coroner's inquest at the home,i
of 1 the murdered woman's mother
came to the conclusion that the De
gress came to her death at the hands
o Robinson; and the - warrant for
his arrest has been Issued, i . ' '

Lenox Park Spring Is
Attracting Many People
You have noticed many people,
both walking and in cars, headed for
Lenox. Park with bottles and iues in
th,eir hands? If you have not, it is
oecause you have not looked.
At first thought, you might suspect
that there was a moonshiner operat-

officers of the law never interfere
with these people. On their return. e l"an we naYe . oirer- 18 "uie

Lenox Park spring is the answer.
Some time ago the word was passed
around that the spring had medicinal
value in its wiPrs ?;,. v,
there have been manv neoole wh' i
iiqo nr. t iu'l .i.s -i. ,
comes from the spring, and it is stat
ed on good authority that there have
been many people materially bene
fitted by the use of water from the
spring.
In 1917, the appearance of the
Lenox Park spring was greatly im
proved upon by Mr. Sumner the then
owner of the property. He placed a
stone arch over the spring and seats
of like material around it. From that
time, there have' always been many
people who come out in the morn
ings and afternoons, enjoying both
the walk out and the cooling water
that flows in a constant stream.
An analysis of the water of the
spring will be made in the near fu
ture to determine just what chemi
cal forces have made it so
popular, but chemicals or no chemi
cals there is certainly great value
in the spring, for the simple reason
that good water and a brisk walk
are two of the best health givers in.
the world.
Unique Trash Receivers
Placed on Main Street
Between 20 and 30 trash receivers
have been placed on Main street and
streets nearby. These are manufac
tured in Hendersonville and are ex
tremely well made. They bear the
advertisements of various firms in the
city, and' are painted in attractive
colors.
The unique feature of the cans is
that the trash does hot go merely into
the can itself, there to ferment and
rot but into a bag which is removed
daily and a new one placed therein.
The lid of the can opens easily and
closes of its own accord. '
These cans are manufactured by
the Chandley Sign company. It is
understood that arrangements are
being made to manufacture them on
a wholesale scale here and ship them
to other cities.
LETTER FROM MAYOR RHODES
Western North Carolina Times,
Gentlemen:- - -
I congratulate Hendersonville on
the plans proposed by the board, of
directors of having an up-to-date and
active Chamber of Commerce that
will be an instrumentality for con
structive achievement.'
Hendersonville needs such an or
ganization almost as much as it needs
a city government, nd I trust that
the Chamber of Commerce may have
the active support of every, business
man and citizen who believes in Hen
dersonville and has the progress and
prosperity of our city at heart, i1
-..-'Cuew'i v "I ! "v i on acceptance
Dr. D. W. Daniel, of Clemkon CoK
lege, Will Be Speaker of .
Evening August 14.
Very gratifying responses have
been received by the Chamber of
Commerce directors from represen
tative business men and women in- -cideit
- to the .Greater Henderson
vilel movement to be launched Mon
day evening, August 14, with a din
ner and civic pageant.
Dr. D. W. Daniel, professor of
English at Clemson College, is to be
the evening's speaker. , Dr. Daniel is
one of America's most learned men.
His logic and eloquence have made -'
him a speaker of national promi
nence. E. W. Ewbank, attorney and
banker, will make an address on
"Hendersonville of Tomorrow."
The tinner will be presided over
by J., O. Bell, president of the -Chamber
of Commerce, and will be
gin promptly at 6" o'clock in the con
vention hall at the Carolina Terrace.
Dinner acceptances are coming in
rapidly, according to J. Mack Rhodes,
chairman of the entertainment com
mittee. But two regrets have been
received. Miss Kate L. Miner, writing
that illness will prevent her atten
dance, and P. E. Rollins saying that
he would be in New York on business.
Both Miss Miner and Mr. Rollins ex
pressed great interest and enthus- !
iasm in the movement for a greater
city through a greater Chamber of
Commerce. ,
Mrs. Edith Vanderbilt of Biltmore,
president of the North Carolina State
Agricultural Fair, has written Secre
tary Penney in praise of Hendecson
ville's civic awakeniner and exDress-
ling her hope that Hendersonville's
efforts woul be crowned with suc
cess. Dr. L. B. Morse of Chimney Rock
writes:
"I am more than pleased with the
revived spirit that is actuating the
citizens of Hendersonville in the
matter of getting the place before
the public. I am sure now that you
have taken things in hand that it
will constitute a step foeward.
"While in the West I became im
bued with the (nntrienra thnt. mm
Whack of -everything "iaJ4 everybody

less than we have to offer. It is little

s summed up in the word "Conh-
aence. iney never waver in the
faith in the west. If we could inject
this sort of thing into the people of
Hendersonville,, there is literally no
limit to what could be accomplished."
Mayor Rhodes urges that dinner
acceptances be sent in at the earliest
time possible.
No Danger of Gas
Shortage In City
Automobile owners in Henderson
ville have been wondering how they
will procure gasoline should the
railroad strike tie up the freight
cars to the extent that they are not
abe to supply everybody. It will
be a relief, to know that they will be
provided for for some time to come,
through the foresight of the Caro
lina Oil and Supply company, of this
city. Six car tanks of gasoline con
signed to the Carolina Oil and Supply
company reached Hendersonville this
week. Each car has a capacity of
8000 gallons, which means that 48,
000 gallons of gasoline are in the
tanks of the company, near the de
pot. The oil company has had four
trucks in operation for some1 time.
These appeared in the Fourth of
July parade, decorated with flags
and draped with streamers. They
were driven by the regular drivers of
the company, who are Bill Corn,
driving the 400 gallon truck, Will
Guice, driving a truck of 410 gallon
capacity, Roy Pace, in the 270 gal
lon speed wagon and Fred -Gilliam,
also driving a speed wagon.
