VOLUME XXXVII. NUMBER 56 HENDERSONVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, SEPT. 29, 1922 FIVE CENTS COPY t ... ... - - - ' . Hendersonville Making Rapid Strides Says Postmaster Staton Population of City Increasing at Rate of 10 Per Cent. Per Annum r Says Postmaster Staton. That the population of Hender sonville is rapidly increasing and that business in general is keeping, pace with the increase is evidenced Dy the continued increase from year to year in the receipts at the postoffice. Re ceipts Jihis year jfor July, August and September will show approximately $1,500 more business done this year than in the Same period last year. The water rents for the city and the business of the'Home Electric Com pany, all will show the extent of ex pansion and growth, it is stated. Postmaster Staton is very gratified over the showing made by the local office this year. He. says his force remains the same winter and sum mer and that it has been pretty hard during the rush season to handle the business. He has succeeded, how ever, in getting provisions made for an additional 365 boxes and this will greatly relieve the situation another year. If material is received in time he looks" for the completion of 'the installation of boxes in about two -months. The boxes have already been shipped and other material is on the road. Mr. Chas. Murrell of Greenville has the contract for the work. In talking and comparing invest ment opportunities Mr. Staton said he thought the Treasury Saving Cer tificates now offered by the Govern ment' the best investment to be ob tained. These certificates are non taxable and yield 5 per cent net on the investment. A person pays $800 for a $1,000 certificate due in five years and if the prospective investor gets busy and purchases before the first of October one of these certi ficates can be purchased for $760, according to the figures given out by Mr. Staton. People should get busy if they wish to get in on this latter proposition. Mr. Staton says he believes thi3 city is now increasing in population at the rate of ten per cent, per an num. The postoffice in any town is a pretty good indicator as. to the fmuno rrnwth and it is auite prob able that the city is progressing at j the rate indicated m mis on ice. ' TRAINS DOGS OR CHASE Mr. Frank Wren manager of La Plaza Hotel has some fine young English fox hounds which he is now training for the chase. He was out with them Thursday in the Stoney Mountain section and had a good Tho Anva are heine- trained Via rsuin race that IS to f OllOW I XVL the scent of the hide drawn over the , ground ly some party ahead oi me dogs He states that there has not koon fnv in England, a wild fox for forty years and that in spite of that the chase there offers one of the greatest forms of pleasure. M . Wren is very enthusiastic over a good hound and hopes to make fine dogs of the 6nes he now is training. He purchased a beautiful horn the other day which was made by Oat Drake, a local manj and will use this horn in the chase in Florida this win ter. MR. JUSTUS RECOVERING Isaac Justus, of Edneyville, and one of the leading citizens of that township, who fell from the roof of a house he was repairing some time ago, is recovering from his injuries nicely, it is reported. Mr, Justus had a remarkable escape from death and but for the fact that he has en durance that, like a cat, has to be killed nine times he would have been killed outright It is a matetr of gratification to his friends to see Mr. Justus' recovery.

This matter of searching vessels for contraband out side the three mile limit brings inter national complications forward and necessitates understandings with for eign powers and it has been decided that foreign vessels can not be pre vented from transferring cargo to American cessels outside the three mile limit and the prohibition forces ' will have to take their chances of ' being able to seize the j cargoes of such vessels' only after it enters the three mile limit provided the foreign vessels have not been caught in com munication with the' shore by means of their own, crews or men. - Search has- been made of vessels twelve miles out from time to time, it is stated, under an old ruling Which has at times been followed for some hundred years, but pnder the present conditions it is thought best to fol low more closely plainer lines of. in i.n.otinnol , loin'.

C. tu - nnlir twn states in the Union ahead of us in the number of There are more than two VCt. lil.-. - . hundred thousand in thi3 state. In spite of this, however, eignt states produce more honey. This is because otoninn t.n scientific handling. is paid to the industry in other states. Now is the time to nnu uui wucmci vour bees are in good condition for going into winter. The hives should be protected from the cold, winter winds. Hives that are not heavy should be looked into and wnere tne bees have not enough to feed them but are., otherwise in good condition they cSjieither be fed enougn to car ry thenffehrough or they can be con .i;jfp with another hive which has plenty and thus save the inevitable starvation and tne mciueni, uesnui. tion of the comb by worms which will threaten every weak hive in the spring. . ' . If your bees are in old-time hives v,oo -vmt the ton 'filled but have plenty of honey below the sticks you can onen the nive ana pacK some u. bags in the empty space and this will frnm f veezinc out.

All officers pf the U. C. V., were re-elected for the coming year. The weather being fiae the attendance was good and the programme carried out in fine order. Asheville treated the veterans royally and it is felt that all of them had a really good time. Some of the features of en tertainment were the big ball at the Battery Park Hotel, drive through Vanderbilt Estate, trips around Ashe ville in cars furnished by the citizens of the city, etc. A big parade on Thursday con cluded the" three day meet and the old heroes of the 60's are now wend ing their homeward way. Asheville hated to see the brave remnant of the Great Southern Army depart from its gates and wished that again it might have the opportunity of showing its appreciation of the ser vices of tnese men in gray. The meeting was a great success and it is felt that the men had a good time in Asheville and will remember thp "CAt.v nmoncr thp. Wills" as that city will retain the" pleasure it had in having the men in gray witnin ner gates. . ' - SEN. WATSON OF GA. DEAD 'Senator Thomas E.

The revolu tionists' announce that r they , will choose a ministry upon their arrival at Athens. They have an army of 80,000 it is said ready to fight the Turks in Thrace should they succeed in their plans. It seems that Britain 1 wants to return Thrace to Turkey, as evidenced by the refusal to let the Vireek transports use the vbtraits.

The new tariff has begun already to stiff en prices along the line of manu factured goods and in some few cas es the products of the farm, as for instance hides are already advancing as result of a tariff on hides. Farm machinery and hardware is supposel to be in line for an immediate ad vance in price of from 10 to 25 per cent. Just how much the farmer is to get out of the advances on farm products is not known because it will be governed by the extent of the in crease in price of the things he pur chases. If hides sold for four cents per pound last year and will increase 100 per cent under the tariff the fanner will get for a 100 lb. hide $8, while he got $4 last year. But whether he has been benefitted will depend on the number of hides he has for sale and the amount in dol lars he receives for them in compari son to the number of dollars he will have to buy what he needs. With an increase of 2,5 per cent on say a $100 grain drill the farmer would have to sell more than eight 100 pound hides at a profit of 100 per cent in order to buv his drill on the same relative market. So it will depend on how much the farmer has to sell as tojteresting and much enjoyed birth whether he is going to be benefitted. day party to J. W. Mclntyre, Jr., the To judge from what is looked for j eight year old son of Mr. rnd Mr, under the new tariff it looks like a Mclntyre. About fifteen plavmates slim chance for the farmer. But if were present when the pink and white general prosperity should be suff i- cient to overcome tne apparent ais- parity against the farmer and his products the country woum oe thankful. It is hoped by a large num ber of our countrymen that some such miracle will happen. It is bad ly needed just now. SHORTAGE OF CATTLE There is a strong tendency in the 1 great cattle producing sections of nf the best informed cattle men in the country, point to a shortage in the number of cattle for the coming win ter and spring and the condition is liable to pe followed and in all rea sonable bounds will be followed by a decided stiffening of prices and an increased demand for good cattle. This section will feel this according to the extent to which the shortage develops. With the low price of hay and other farm crps in the cunty it wuTd be well for farmers to inform themselves on the situation before selling to close. .- It might be a good time to buy rather than selL Good stuff is sure to be in demand next year.; r . v Be Observed - Merchants of City To, ' Offer Many , Attractive Prices Nest Tuesday .
