THE INNOCENT YOUNG THING
She Wanted Realism Carried to Point
Where It Got Away from All
Artifeiality.

The manufacturer Of a moving
picture machine was explaining to
a group of acquaintance how he had
obtained a series Of pictures show

once taken place at a western army
post. in the DAYS when Indian war
fare was a horrible reality instead
of an exhibit on a Broadway stage.
"The commander Of the post" he
said, chad a detachment of soldiers
and another of Indians re-enact the
scene for us, dressed exactly as in
the old days, so our machines could
secure every detail-the onslaught Of
the Indians, the defense by the
white soldiers, their massacre and
the destruction of the fort

the kindly citizen, "but | should not
care to see it in even a picture.
The sweet young thing listened
with wide eyes,
"And did they really kill the
white soldiers for you?' she asked.

BUTTER AND HEALTH.

Butter is a carbon, and all excess
of it is stored up as fat in the body.
1t gives energy and power to work
to those who eat heartily of it. So
it is not economy at table to spare
the butter, even for healthy folk.
For anyone afflicted with consump-
ton butter cookery, if plenty of fat
can be digested, is one of the best
ways of curing the disease, if it is
in its early stages, or of keeping it
at bay if advanced.
Butter is not a simple fat com
posed of merely one sort. 1t is 9
mixture of no fewer than seven diff.
ferent sorts of fats, and no more
complex oil can be taken than this.

ROBBED OF $50:
HEREAFTER Will PUT
MONEY IN THE BANK

Jack Dill, accused of rob-
bling his grandfather, James
Johnson, of Balfour, of $3.50, was
arrested Sunday on the train
at Fletcher by Deputy Sheriff
Conner. The story runs as fol-
lows: Jack Dill roomed with his
grandfather at Balfour several
nights ago. Johnson had $3.50
in his pocket on retiring that
night. The following morning,
Dill made an early disappearance
and the sum of money had also
disappeared when Johnson made
search for it. Dill could not be
located, and the officers were
notified and a reward of fifty
dollars offered for the return of
the money. Yesterday the officers
were notified that Dill was in
Hawn and making a display of his
money. Officers Conner and Ar
ledge moved in hot pursuit. Dill
was informed of the fact and
took the evening train for
Asheville. Conner also boarded
the train and arrested the accused
at Fletcher and an Asheville
woman who was with him. The
couple was placed in the county
Jail and after closely searching
Dill, nearly a hundred dollars
was found in his shoe. He, with
the woman, will have a prelim,
nary hearing today.

Streams Abound with Fish

A great deal of space has been
given in these columns as to how
this county has been blessed
with fine fruit and vegetables,
but a word needs to be said about
the enormous amount of big fish
in our streamsA
T. N. Redden was in town yes
terday with a buggy full of fish,
jumping and futtering for life.
The lightest ones weighed about
six pounds and the heaviest
weighed twelve pounds, famil-
iarly known as the Carp species.
Redden caught them in the
French Broad only about eight
miles of town. The heavy rains
washed the fish out in the shall
low water, which resulted in
their capture.

Outside in the pig lot were
crates by the score of late cabh-

than Henderson County cabbage
and the big lot was filled with
teams either waiting to unload,
or having sold their cargo, wait

were three apples, that is, it is
said they were apples, and may
be they were. We don't know,
as only the best in the county
are brought to the Daily Hustler
Office, and these that Mr.. Brooks
was so pulled up about but
still maybe they were apples, af-

Canada in wood and its products.
What are the facts?
In the first place, all acid and pulp
woods are now and have always been
on the free list. (See the testimony
at pages 8, 10. 903, 2.O15). And that
these woods in Western NORTH Caro-
lima are much cheaper than similar
woods in Canada on board the cars.
(see testimony. page 900 and follow
ing pages.)
In the second place the Champion
Fibre Company makes no wood pulp
for sale, but uses every pound pro-
duced at it's own paper mills at Ham
ilton, O., and than lacks, at least, so
tens per day of supplying its demand
and, besides, it does not produce a
pound of pulp used in making news
paper. Only stone-ground pulp is
used for such purpose
In the third place, the Champion
Fibre Company does not produce a
pound of news print paper. In the
Canton mills a low grade of wrap
ping paper is made, and at the Hamil-
ton mills a high grade Of g~loss-fnish-
ed p is manufactured, such as is
used in frst-class catalogues and
magazines.
And in the fourth place, the Cham
pion Fibre Company does not belong
to the newspaper trust and has no
connection with it, and can in no way
be affected, directly or indirectly, by
suppressing the newspaper trust. And
consequently no harm can come to
those who are supplying it with
wood and labor.
The people are intelligent and are
aroused, and will not longer tolerate
the paper trust and 4her trusts by
ALLOW ne them TO take shelter un-
der a subterfu2e and continue 10 rob

defenders, disguised though they may
be, will be smoked out I welcome

CIRCUS
Approaching.

John Robinson men has COW
cred the old sign on the bill board
on Main street with the pictures
Of some of the animals to be
shown here on Sept. 4. These are
a number of some~of his largest,
widest and most ferocious beasts.
A great part of these are ampli-
bious animals and it will take
large tanks of water for them.
The city has sold the show people
several thousand gallons Of water
for this purpose.
1t has been several years since
there was a circus.here and prob
ably none were as large as this
will be. While nearly all the
people in this section have seen
such a show, there are a few
who have not, and will take ad-
vantage of this event.
Constantly the boys can be
seen standing around looking at
the pictures, and the big animals
seem like a dream to them. Yet:
they are betting on seeing these
dangerous beasts, and many a
father or mother will be provoked
day after day until they cough up
the change by which they can go
to the show. This event has been
widely advertised in Western
Carolina, and more people will be
here than ever before in the his
tory of Hendersonville. Train.
loads will pour in the city from
all nearby points on the road and
the people in the more remote
rural districts will be here in wag-
on loads to see the arrival Of this
big show.
