During these days of food adul-
teration and evasion of the So
called National pure food laws it
is of highest Importance that com
sumers study the conditions Un-
der (which their food supplies are
handled.
1t 6s distinct pleasure to call
attention to the Pure Food Gro
Gerry of 8. Maxwell & Co., ON Main
street, near the Electric Line Cor
ner.
This well known firm not only
buys pure food products but while
they remain i'm their very beauti-
full and modernly arranged store,
every precaution is taken to keep
them Eanitarily pure.
For instance, sugar, rice, etc.
ETC., Are kept in dust proof recep+
tacles. Nearly all other articles
are kept under glass. The old
fashioned sugar, cracker and cof-
fee barrel are all conspicuous by
their absence.
There is mo more attractive or
modern store I'm amy city-no mat
ter what it's size.
The great display windows are
constant temptation to step inand
buy of THE appetizfng pure foods
there displayed, and once inside
the courteous attention Of Messrs.
s. Maxwell or n. c.. Moore, or of
anyone of their many clerks in
surcs a completely satisfactory
ttrade."
This firm has made good here.
1t does an enormous business and
has just started to grow.
OF course, there's reason!

NO OYERDRAFTS

!, AIT a recent meeting of the Board
of Directors OF the First Bank and
Trust Company, the following res
olution was adopted:
"Resolved, that whereas the ov-
erdraft feature has clearly been
proven to be an injustice to the
stockholders, to the other depos-
itors, and to the drawer himself,
the officers of this bank are here
by ordered that ON and after the
10th day of May, 1913, they allow
mo over drafts on the books of
this institution"
This has long been custom that
has worked against the best in-
terest of the banks, as well as
their customers, and I'M passing
this resolution the directors feel
that they have taken a step that
W. prove beneficial to both the
bank and it's depositors.

CITY WATER

Hendersonville's water is ideally
pure.
This is shown by the report
which the city has this week re-
ceived from the State Laboratory
Hygiene ait Raleigh. The report,
which was made ON May from a
sample received in Raleigh ON May
/. is as follows:
Color,o. Turbidity, 0. Odor, cold
O. odor, hot, 0. Chlorine, 2. Nitro
gen. as Nirates, o.O6. Nitrogen
as NHrites, o. Free Ammonia, .03s.
AIbrlrnfnoid Ammonia, .05O. Total
Bacteria per c. c. ait 20 deg. c., 11o.
Total Bacteria per C. c. at Ss deg.
c., Q. .Acid4producing Bacteria, o.
Colon Bacilh in c. c., @. Colon
RacilI in 10 c. c., 0.
The total absence of colon ba-
cilh and all acid-producing bacte-
ria is in itself a guarantee Of the
narity of the water. And this guar
antee is strengthened by the to-
tai absence of nitrites, the very
small amount of nitrates, and the
worry small amount of chlorine.
Hendersonvfne' water is all
right.

FIGHTING FOR
WATER POWER

Sett&ng FORTH purposes of devel-
opment and The irreparable dan-
age that would be wrought by
condemnation of water sites on
Green River and Big Hungry, the
complaint filed I'm Hhe office of the
clerk of Superior court by r. n.
Oates and the Hendersonville
Light a!nd Power company against
the Blue Ridge Railway company
contains many statements OF inter
est TO Those concerned in the con-
demnation and restraint proceed
lngs which It is hoped to have
demnation and restraint proceed
thrashed out at the next weeks
term OF Superior court
The coming term of court prom
ises 10 be one of the most inter-
esting ever held in Henderson
county by reason of Hhds impor-
tant case and that of Henderson
vile against the telephone com
pany with reference to the increase
OF telephone Gates in This city.
The complaint of the local power
company sets out THAT In 1909 Geo.
E. Ladahaw, "a. L. White and 9th
ers of Spartanburg, s. c., organ
lied the Appalachian Power COM
Pany and about the same time w.
s. Montgomery, john A. Law, b.
L. Bomar and Joseph Lee of Spar
tanburg organized THE Green Riv-
er Power company, both of which
corporations consolidated into
the Manufalcturer's Power compa-
my during the latter part of the
past year; that this corporation
knowing that it could not condemn
water power sites changed into
the Blue Ridge Lnterurban Rail-
way company, settling out in it's
Charter the company's purpose to
build four miles of railway to the
power sites from Saluda. The
complaint alleges that the expense
of building such a road would be
very great hind that the benefits
would be small in that the
line would run we'll back into the
mountains and stop; that in the
belief of the plaintiff the line
would serve only jas dummy g
cats paw" affair with the view to
exercising the right of eminent
domain which could not be exer-
cised by THE Manufacturers Pow
err company. 1t is ALLEGED hhat If
the latter company were to erect
a dam 164 feet high the waters
would submerge the plant of the
local power company and the
dwelling of the foreman under
twenty -three feet of water.
The complaint sets out that the
plaintiff haas interests in three
power sites and dhat only one has
has been developed; THAT the
plaintiff by reason of heavy ex-
pense i'm restoring it's plant wash
ed away a few years ago and the
panic of 1907 was unable to COM
summate proposed developments,
but that it is now ready to proceed
with the developments; that by
condemnation the plaintiff would
suffer irreparaible loss and would
be seriously handicapped IN full
filling it's contracts to furnish
Light and power for the city of
HendersonVille.
1t is mot certain THAT this case
will be heard alt the next term OF

 self in Insane Asylum.

Montgomery City. Mo, May 23.- Editor John Jacks of the Montgomery Standard was sitting in his sanctum sanctorum rumpling his hair with his left hand and drumming his desk with his right, his brow corrugated, when the process of editing was interrupted.
 T want to contract for whole page of advertising in your weekly" said voice at the threshold.
 Editor Jacks did not quite fall out of the chair "A page!" he exclaimed. Recovering his boise, he looked the visitor squarely in the eye and sum- moned the minions of the law.
 The voice at the threshold that wrecked Editor Jacks train of thought and caused ye scribe to doubt the vis- itor's sanity belonged to Thomas Pew, a Montgomery county farmer.
 Editor Jacks suspicious were veri- fed by the county court, who found Pew had several delusions, and the farmer is in the insane asylum at Fulton.

FIVE ARE KILLED AND SIX OTH-

Accident, Permitting Many to Be Saved-Garrison Renders Help.

Smyrna, Asia Minor, May 23.-The French liner Senegal lies beachtd on the harbor front half of one side torn out by the accidental explosion of a mine as she was leaving port. The explosion instantly killed five persons and fatally injured six others.
 Fortunately for those on board, the liner was close to shore and in shall low water, and maintained enough headway after the explosion to en- able the captain to run her aground All the uninjured members of the crew and the passengers were landed safely.
 The steering gear and most of the other machinery escaped injury from the explosion, and owing to this fact the captain and his engineer were able to beach the vessel, thus in all probability saving the lives of most of those on board.
 The steamer went aground near the fortress, and the garrison gave all possible assistance.

RULERS KISS AT STATION
Wilhelm Changes Uniform at Depot to Show Proper Respect
 to the Czsr.

Berlin, May .23.-Czar Nicholas II. of Russia arrived in Berlin to attend the wedding of Princess Victoria Luise and Prince Ernst of Cumber- land.
 The cZar was not accompanied by the czarina, which was a disappoint- ment to the crowd, but his reception was much more efrusive than that ac- corded to King George and Queen Mary of England. Close observers, however, said the dierence could not be attributed to politics. The Der liners were out for holiday and all thoughts of war were laid aside King George and his consort never before were in Berlin.
 Just before the czar's special and closely guarded train was due the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, ia ther-in-law and mother-in-law in pros pect to Princess Victoria Luise, ar rived from Rathenow, 35 miles away To greet the duke properly, Kaiser Wilhelm wore the uniform of Brit ish officer, and 1t was the necessity of meeting the cZar in Russian uni form a few moments later that caused the kaiser to make his hurried change of attire at the railroad station.

SUFFRAG|ST5 ARE
 SLAVES ID FASHION
SHOULD REFORM DRESS BEFORE SEEKING VOTES, REPRESENTA-
 TIVE DECLARES.
HOMES NEED THEIR CARE
Would Abolish Hooks and Eyes Finds Many Other Faults With
 Mlady's Stylee - Doubts

Washington, May 23.-Before try ing to get the vote and write reform laws on the statute books, women should reform their own dress, in the opinion of Representative Stanley E. Bowdle of Cincinnati, who is contend ing with Representative J. T. Hefltn of Alabama for the leadership of the "antis" in the house.
 The suffragettes, said MT. Bow dle, "are still harping on emancipation for women. The first step in this di- rection should be emancipation from the slavery of clothes Of course, they cannot have too much emancipa- tion from the present styles-if they did there wouldn't be anything left
 Why don't the suffragists begin their reforms by cooperating with the Audubon society? They might stop the slaughter of rare and beautiful birds by expending some of the en- ergy and money they are giving to their fight for votes, which they claim would correct the worst evil known to modern civilization.
 Before reforming the outside world, why not correct conditions in the household? Domestic servants are ire Quently badly treated employees.
 Tt doesn't need votes to improve the condition of women employed to carry on the work of household that is suffering from the absence of its mistress-who cannot superintend the work because she is too busilN en- gagged in the emancipation of her sex.
 When the tariff decision was up in the house and the hook-and-eye item was reached someone suggested put ting a prohibitive duty on the ahomi- nation. I objected I argued that heavy duty did not meet the situa- tion; I suggested that the importation tries be made a felony, and their man ufacture in this country a capital crime
 While the suffragists, only 8 per cent of all the women in the country, are boasting of their tremendous fla miliarity with statesmanship they write themselves down as followers of folly in their absurd dress, in the i'm plements which they use in connec- tion with dress and in their habit of sacrificing comforts to fashion and style,
 The hook and eye is merely sam pie that very few of the suffragists dress in a way which indicates that common sense of which they say they are possessed, when it comes to writ ing legislation on the statute books.
