WOODMEN HOLD.
GOOD MEETING
IN THIS CITY

Hendersonville was hostess to the
Western North Carolina Log Rolling
Association Monday, when an enthu-
siastic delegation of about sixty
members from various parts of the
State enjoyed the hospitality of the
local camp.
The meeting was an interesting
one and the program included the
election of officers and the making
Of many interesting addresses, the
key note of which was patriotism.
Head Consul V. E. Grant, of the
Woodmen of the World of North
Carolina, called the meeting to order
ip the absence of President Frank
fifty, of Asheville. Rev. M. F.
Moores led in prayer, and J. E. Ship
man, on behalf of the city, delivered
the address Of welcome, C. F. Bland
making that on behalf of the camp.
The response on behalf of the asso-
citation was made by State Manager
E. B. Lewis, of Kinston. Addresses
were made at the night session by E.
w. Ewbank and Rev. T. G. Nancy.
The election of officers was fea-
ture that drew close attention and re-
suited in the following selection: H.
G. Flynn, president, Landrum; Rev.
T. G. Nanney, vice-president, Union
Mills; Geo. L. Herman, secretary
treasurer, Asheville.
Spirited balloting marked the Sc
lection Of the meeting place Of the
next convention, Asheyille. and Ros-
man being in the race with Old Fort,
but the latter led by good majority,
and the convention will meet with
Blue Ridge camp No. 90, Old Fort,
on the last Monday in October, 1918.
Strong resolutions we're adopted,
pledging the support of the associa-
ton to our government in the pur-
chase of Liberty bonds and Thrift
stamps, and the association urged the
camps to take care Of the interests
of it's soldier members while they are
in the service of the government. A
large number of the camps reported
that they had purchased Liberty
bonds with camp funds and that, in
addition, large numbers of individual
members had invested in the bonds -
the best investment that is known.
Among the number of important
resolutions adopted at the meeting
was one providing for a service flag
to be presented to the association at
a special meeting to be held during
the summer months. The resolution
providing for the service flag was
passed unanimously and the flag
will contain stars for each member
in the forty-three camps composing
the association who are in the service
of the United States, either in train
ing camps, on the high seas or on the
European battlefelds. The commit
tee having this matter in charge is
composed of Head Consul V. E.
Grant, Hendersonville; President H.
C. Flynn, Landrum, and Secretary
Treasurer George L. Herman, Ashe-
vile.
Another important resolution pass
ed was one heartily commencing the
by President Wilson Of
Commander W. A. Fraser,
of Omaha, as a member o fthe de-
partment of war risk insurance for
our soldiers and sailors. A copy will
be forwarded to President Wilson.

$263 GIVEN FOR EQUIPPING
YIN. C.. A. AT FT. CASWELL

On request from the Wilmington
Y. M. C. A. and Chamber of Com
merce, Mayor C. E. Brooks, aided
by W. M. Bridges, made a campaign
to raise $3.50 this week to supplement
a sum to be used for equipping the
new Y. M. C. A. at Ft. Caswell, and
raised 1858 without difficulty. The
people responded freely to the call,
having in mind the large number Of
local boys who left for training at
that point, many of whom are now in
training there.

Increase in
Telephone Rate
Is Requested

The Asheville Telephone & Tele-
graph Company serves notice that it
has filed a petition with the State
Corporation Commission requesting
authority to advance it's rates for tel
ephone service in Hendersonville and
Asheville.
The announcement of the company
gives the increased cost Of operation
and inadequate returns on the in
vestment as the reason for the re-
quest for permission to make the in
crease in rates.
Telephone companies propose ad-
vances in the leading cities Of North
Carolina. The matter is to be heard
by the Corporation Commission be-
fore there can be an increase, and if
it is granted doubtless quite a period
will pass before increased rates are
effective.
It is understood that no increase
is desired on any kind Of residential
service, but that for business special
and business duplex service an in
crease of so cents q month is pro-
posed. No increase will be asked
for on the inward service, which ap-
plies to service where there are more
than one telephone to. the place Of
business. The present price Of busi-
ness special is $500, and that Of
business duplex is $3.50.

JUDGE EWART'S REMAINS
INFERRED HERE SUNDAY
The Judge Died at Dance for Boys in
Service; Body Cremated in Keep
ing With Expressed Wish.

The remains of Judge Hamilton G..
Ewart, who died at an entertainment
in Chicago on Tuesday night of last
week, were brought to Henderson
Yille. and inferred in Oakdale ceme-
Terry last Sunday afternoon following
funeral services conducted by the
Rev. G. w. Belk at the Presbyterian
church.
The members of the local bar
gathered at the home of G. H. Valen-
tine and from there went to the
church in body and followed the re-
mains to the cemetery. In addition
to the services by Rev. Mr.. Belk and
a song by the audience, Mrs. C. N.
Wrenshall sang "Abide With Me- "
Despite inclement weather there
was a large number of the friends of
the deceased at the services.
In keeping with the frequently cx-
pressed wish of Judge Ewart, his
body was cremated.
Judge Ewart leaves three sons and
three daughters: H. G. Ewart, Jr,
of Cleveland, Ohio; Lieut.. James B.
Ewart, of the U. S. S. Iowa; Quay
Ewart, Mrs. William Aiken Rhett, of
Charleston, S. c.; Mrs. G. T. Will
liams, of Suffern, N. Y, and Mrs. G..
H. Valentine, Of Hendersonville. He
also leaves two sisters: Miss Minnie
D. Ewart and Mrs. Lila Ripley Barn
we'll, both of whom live here.
The out-of-town members of the
family present for the interment
were H. G. Ewart, Jr., James B. Ew-
art, Mrs. Rhett and Mrs. Williams.
When the information was prepar-
ed fort the account of Judge Ewart's
death, as published in the Hustler
last week, no information was at
hand as to the manner of his going.
Judge Ewart died at an entertain
ment for the sailors and soldiers. He
had been on the floor at the dance
given in honor of the boys in the SER
vice and on taking seat beckoned
to friend. AS the friend approach
ed Judge Ewart drew his last breath.
He attended the entertainment ap-
parently in excellent physical condi-
tion and on the previous day his
friends were impressed with his Gus
tomary joviality.
Judge Ewart leaves friends in
many walks of life and in many parts
of the country and his death means
the extinguishing of one of the
brightest legal lights in North Caro-
lima, a State in which he is widely
known for his activities in its affairs
one way and another, notably in
political way.

One mother, busy IN Red Cross work
every day OF her life, had a message
the other day telling her that her son.
a gallant young lieutenant, had lost
his life on the field OF honor. She
telephoned down TO her headquarters
telling the helpers there that she did
not want to be considered a coward,
but she felt that she had to be at home
with her sorrow alone for just two
days. Think OF asking leave for just
two days when her heart was torn
with grief She IS as brave as the son
who died for his country. What a
wonderful example Of American wom-
anhoodl This spirit will endure until
autocracy has been wiped off the

or a short time coming.
