Street Cleaning Department.
For years the city has used the ordinary
methods employed elsewhere in keeping its
streets clean. But in addition to these meth
DDS, it has been found expedient to employ
man whose sole business it will be to keep
Main street clean of all manner of rubbish
and dirt. He will be on duty the greater
part of each day, and at night the city sweep
ing machine will supplement his efforts to
keep the streets spotless Flushing the
streets from time to time is one method used
in this city, and this in addition to the daily
use of the sprinkling cart keeps the dust

MOUNTAIN PEOPLE ARE Law.
ABIDING AND GOOD CITIZENS

Time was, and not 60 long ago, when peo.
pie from the low-lying sections of the conn.
try looked on everyone from the mountaino
as a moonshiner, or at least his assist
ant. To come from the Blue Ridge was n
confess ones connivance in deep-laid plans
for depriving Uncle Sam of his revenue on
liquor. OF course that was very romantic. and
al that sort of thing, don 't-cher-know, b,,t
very untrue ALSO There is no section of tho
country where more respect for all laws is
evidenced by the people than by the inhabi-
tants of the mountains of North Carolina

In fact in Hendersonville, town and
county, the officers of the peace suffer from
a lack of exercises, if one judges by the small
number of law-breakers they are called upon
to handle each year. The local court dock
cts are never congested, and extra sessions
are unknown Such matters as do come be-
fore the officials are judiciously and expedi.
tiously handled, and satisfaction is given to
all concerned.

mea Health Exhibition.

Through the instrumentality Of Dr.. J. +.
Crawford, health officer, and the City Com.
missioners, Hendersonville will be accorded
the privilege of inspecting the remarkable
health exhibit now in Asheville at the annual
session of the Southeastern Health Ofncers
association. This embraces the official ex-
hibits of North Carolina, South Carroll
ra, Georgia and Florida, and is said to be a.
model of it's kind It's purpose is to create a
desire for cleanliness and sanitation IN indl
viduals and in community affairs, and IS
worth many columns of words, as its les
sons are driven home through the eye. The
exhibition was made possible here by small
appropriation from the city.
Recent Typhoid Figures.
For the purpose of making some compari-
sons within the State in the matter of ty-
phoid fever records, the following table, pre-
pared by the. North Carolina Bureau of Vital
Statistics, is appended:

the said line and abolish dry wells and sur
face closets. Within the past twelve months
this measure has resulted in the installation
of more than one hundred sanitary closets
within the city's limits, and other connec-
tions are being made as fast as is possible.
In addition to this, Dr. Crawford has notified
property holders who do not come under
the provisions of this law, that they will be
required to erect ''fy-Iroof'' closets of the
latest and most improved type. Work to
this end will be begun before the summer
season is opened Furthermore, regular in
spections of all places where animals are kept
within the city are being made, and where
conditions justify it, some are being remoy-
ed, others strictly regulated to conform with
modern requirements 1t is matter of time

munities, Hendersonville has decided to es-
tablish a free typhoid vaccine dispensary,
which will be conducted by the State Board
of Health. At recent meeting of the City
Commissioners $50 was appropriated by the
city toward the establishment here of the
dispensary. The County Board Of Educa-
ton gave 800 for this purpose, and the
County Commissioners swelled the fund by
an appropriation of $3.50. This gives the
city and county $500 to be used for the free
distribution of typhoid vaccine, under care
full supervision. No step taken in a long
while has called forth the favorable COM
ment from the general public that this one
has, and should prove effective in preventing
the development of any typhoid fever in the

Meat and Milk Inspection.
In addition to other duties of the health
officer, it is part Of his work to conduct 8
strict inspection of all meat and milk SOLD
within the city limits. All animals sold for
food are required to be slaughtered at cen
trail abattoir, where they are carefully in
spected before being put on sale. The wis.
dom of this is shown by the fact that a num-
Der of cattle have already been condemned
as unfit for sale in the markets. The mar
kets themselves are subject to examination

Slight Hope for First Chief Unless

Unless there is a marked change for
the better along the Rio Grande it II
believed by many officials of the ad-
ministration that the CarranEa govern
mcnt may not be recognized.
Why the Carranzistas permit ban
dts to raid American territory and
openly assume a threatening attitude
on the Mexican side within shooting
distance of American towns and cities.
without attempting to suppress them,
is mystifying administration officials.
The possibility that it may not be

not put an end to bands of raiders

Of military organization at the very
feet of the garrison at Matamoras is

He denies also that the water works
