THE MOVIES HAVE
MADE MELODRAMA POPULAR

Perhaps n reason why there are
so many ~melodramatic plays is the
poTU!ar appeal of the moving picturs.
In an article on melodrama in the De.
cember American Magazine a w :ler
Sayk:
"Nor r We personally at all GER
tain that the movies have not had
something to do with this present de-
mand for m~elodramatic rubbish. So
far as we can observe, especially in the
smaller cities, there is no hard and
fast line between theatergoers and
movie patrons. Folks go to the movies
when there is no show in town, and
when the show comes along, they take
that in. Dose them long enough with
twaddle, sentimental falsity, cheap
melodrama in the movies. and that's
what they will begin to look for in the
spoken drama. You cannot feed half
the population of a nation on such
stuff as movies are made of year after
year. and expect it will have no effect
on its tastes and character"

to the Orphanage. 1t is not dissolved.
1t appears to me more and more to
be a sound proposition that a mother
should rear the children cd has given
her. If she is financially unable to
care for them let the church or the
community help her rather than the
.Orphanage. Financially it comes to
the same thing. Morally and sentimen-
tally and actually it does not come to
the same thing. The odds are all in
favor of keeping the little family in
tact. 1t is next to a crime to break up
a family because it is poor. Let no
man thoughtlessly put asunder mother
and child whom God hath joined to-
gether!"-A. T. Jamison, in Baptist
Courier.

Hendersonville is well prepared to
taxi care of a large number of tourists.
Like other tourist towns, nearly all
the homes are thrown open to board
ers in the summer. About a year ago
the town lost its largest hotel by fire
but there are others more popular.
Within the last year or two they have
been equipped with heating plants SO
as to provide comforts for winter
guests. The Kentucky Home hotel is
having a plant installed. The Carroll
ma Terrace, long known as the Wheel
81. has a modern heating plant and will
remain open this winter for the first
time. The Cedars is a new place with
heating equipment and Park Hill has
been enlarged and is prepared to COM
fortably take are of several guests. 1t
was at the Park Hill that Editor Cor
don F. Darlington of the French Broad
Hustler entertained the newspaper
men on their recent visit. This hotel
is ideally located, commands a good
view of the surrounding country, has
its own golf, croquet and tennis
grounds. garden, dairy. ETC., and Mrs.
M. A. Brown, the proprietress, has the
reputation of caring for her guests and
making Park Hill one of the most de-
sirable places for visitors in Hender-
sonville.
Cares for the Sick.
Hendersonville- has a new hospital
and two sanatoriums for the treatment
of tubercular patients and a new san
atorium has been opened for the treat
ment Of nervous troubles.
! A cooperative People.
; Hendersonville has many of the eel
ments- that contribute to a rapidly
growing community. 1t needs a larg-
or payroll ana the citizens are working
unitedly to this end. 1t has a pro-
gressive i, and hospitable citizenship
which has the splendid gift Of getting
together when the occasion demands.
An editor a few years ago being either
impressed Or nauseated with what; in
street parlance is termed "hot air" ia
~cetiously remarked that if Henderson
vile has a suction power equal to it's
\ owing power and had a line to the
Atlantic cean it would be the logical
place for a great naval .station-but
this was only a yelled and deserved
compliment for ability to bQast,to- adj
vantage these things in which Hender-
sOnville justly has cause for great
pride.

Industrial Growth.
The Industrial outlook for Hender-
sonville is the brightest it has eve-
hosiery mills have been built in the
city. The largest in the county is the
Flat Rock Hosiery Mills at East Flat
sonville. When the newspaper men
were in Hendersonville they visited
this plant and were presented with
4. pies of its product. This mill
manufactures daily 1000 dozen pairs
of cotton and silk hose for men and
children; employees 225 operators and
has a weekly payroll ranging around
$1,000.
Another important industry is the
cotton mill of the Green River Manu-
featuring company at Tuxedo. There
are large brick mills at Brickton and
Fletcher and a lime kiln ear Fletcher
that produces a large amount of lime.
= expenditure of several thousand
dollars for water power sites on Green
River by capitalists in North and
South Carolina make the industrial
outlook for Hendersonville bright. It's
citizens are expecting a wonderful de-
velopment within a few years by rea-
, son Of more attractive rates for cleo
trical power. An interurban street
car line from .Greenville and Spartan
burg through He~ndersonville to Asho-
vile is one of the big things for which
hopes are entertained.
Great Tourist Center,
Excepting Asheville no town in WeS-
tern Carolina entertains as many sum-
mer visitors aG~ Hendersonville. It. is
ideally situated on the main line oftht
Southern from South Carolina to Ashe-
vile. It is at the junction Of the
G~reenville and ~SpartanbUrg highways
leading into western Carolina and the
county has an excellent system of the
finest Of sand-clay roads leading into
nearly every nook and orner of

AS 1 GO PASSING Up THE STREET..

AS I'm hurrying 10 the street
With the gathering of the night,
l can't help the Consequences
At the home-ires burning bright;
All along the street they shine.
Cozy, warm and friendly lights,
God, I wish for rae ther~shone
Some home fire this winter night.
Lonely 1 go up the street,
All the friendly lights pass by;
Lonesome cold the wind that blows,
Lonesome. too, the grey night sky;
Passing swiftly 1 can hear
Soft a mothers lullaby
And a baby'S sleeping Groom
Stranger though, I pass on by.
Through the gloomI hurry on.
What have / to hurry to
Work I've left is all I have,
Still 1 hurry, others do
Other men have those who wait,
Happy lips to hurry to;
All 1 have is just myself
And the dusk l hurry through.
Passing swiftly up the street
I can see the bright fires glow;
I can't help the lonesomeness
AS the night settles low:
Fires that shine COR other men.
Make the night colder grow;
God. I wish for me might wait
Some home heart, some fires war;
glow.

vile.
Until about four years ago Hender-
sonville was pr~e-eminently a tourist
town. 1t was too much so and after
seeing opportunity pass them up its
citizens finally woke up to the import
ance OF something to stiffen the finan-
cial backbone of the community and
tide it over the long period between
the tourist seasons. 1t secured a linn
tied number of industries and three
good schools; the county built roads
and t., own prepared itself for the
comfortable entertainment of winter
guests and now H~endersonville is in
much more comfortable circumstances
than heretofore n new homes in
nearly every part Of the town give
signs of rapid growth.
Agricultural Possibilities.
The county is capable of great agri-
ricultural development and a little new
blood drifts into its borders occasion
ally and as a result some splendid ex-
amples are being set the people in an
agricultural way. Henderson does not
make a specially of live stock but nat
ural, conditions encourage it. The
county goes strong on apples and po-
tatOes and has been blessed with one
