RICE RIOTS ARE
 BAD, BUT TEND
 TO GROW LESS

TOKYO, Aug. 19.-Because of the seriousness of the rice riots in many parts of Japan, the government has prohibited the newspapers from pub fishing any reports of the progress which is being made by the disturb ances. As result of the order there is a complete absence of news from the various provinces.
 Minister of the Interior Mziuno says that the provincial governors claim that the disorders are abating rapidly. Yesterday troops were called out in nearly every city. It is be- lieved that the troops have been effective in establishing order.
 Indications are that the riots have been caused not only by lack of food but by social unrest among the people. The inhabitants want a greater representation in the govern. ment than has been previously al lowed.
 NEWS OF STREET CONFLICTS
 TOKYO, Aug. 19.-Late wire-Four thousand strikers attacked the stores and fired many of the houses in the city of Kofu. Twenty houses of Hiroshima were destroyed. among them being the houses of several of the millionaires. and in other cities the laborers are reported as having committed acts hostile to the lich. In Tokyo many of the thea tres. stores and leading streets have been closed.
 GOVERNMENT TO BREAK CORNER
 TOKYO. Aug. 19.-Late wire-The imperial government of Japan has issued a requisition for all the rice which has been cornered by mer- chants of the Japanese cities to be put on the market immediately. It is believed that this will do much not only to relieve the famine but to lower the price of the food and con- seQuently bring better conditions for the laborers who have been carrying on the riots.

MISS JOHNSON
 LEAVES TODAY

Class president of the juniors last year and elected to the position of advertising mana ger of the Ursa Major, she displayed unusual ability in filling the duties exacted of her.
 Everything seem to be going up in price. Would you believe it, 1t costs almost as much nowadays to dress a child as it does a grown person?'' I don't doubt it at all. Only yes terday l had to buy new dog col lar for Eff and the prices have al- most doubled"

.Methodists Didn't
Much Like Carnival

The Methodist church of Hender-
sonvi1le, following the regular morn
ing service last Sunday, manifested
strongly its disapproxal of the car
nival, which held forth in Hender-
sonville last week.
The pastor and others expressed
great displeasure and the following
resolution was adopted:
Whereas our city has recently
been visited by carnival, the influ-
ence of which has been highly de-
mor2lizing, therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the members
of the Methodist Episcopal church
south, in conference assembled, take
this occasion to express our unquali-
fed disapprova1 and abhorrence of
the unholy practices of this carnival,
and do most earnestly protest against
the admission into our city, in the
future, of any such immoral show"

THE 4TH IN
THIS COUNTY

Last Thursday Hendersonville was
the scene of a great Fourth of July
celebration, which was in every re-
spect even greater than was antici-
pated.
The carnival was on hand and gave
continuous performances throughout
the day for the benefit of. those who
had come to Hendersonville to spend
the day.
The. parade which was to have be-
gun at $3.50 was postponed until
$50. Promptly at the prescribed
hour the parade began, starting on
north Main street and continuing
down the street to the Blue Ridge
Inn, at which point it turned and
went back up Main street. The pa
rade was headed by BrOwnlow Jack
son and Chief of Police. Powers.
They were followed by a band from
the carnival which gave great music
during the entire march. The home
guards were next in line, followed by
the Red Cross float, which was dec
grated in pure white. All autOmO-
biles and other vehicles followed be-
hind the Red Cross float and helped
to make the parade success. Gov
ernor T. w. Beckett reviewed the
parade from the band stand on Main
street
At o'clock there was game of
ball between a local team and the
team at Laurel Park camp, which re-
suited in a score Of to 5 in favor Of
the camp boys. There was good
crowd on hand and the entire pro-
ceeds were given to the Henderson-
vile Red Cross. It is understood that
there will be game of ball between
the camp boys and Camp Sewer
team some time in the near future
when the locals have got more Of
their men in shape. ~
That night at $3.50 Governor
Beckett gave a very interesting ad-
dress at the opera house. The Gov
ernor came over from Chimney Rock
where he had officially opened the
Asheville- Charlotte highway.
Among those who attended the
formal opening of the Charlotte
Asheville highway and all day cele-
bration at Chimney Rock on July 4,
were the Home Guards, who went in
a body.

{. LEWIS & SON
TO SOON EXPAND
Establishment to Double
Floor Capacity and Install More
Modern improvements.

The mercantile establishment of
E. Lewis & Son, of Hendersonville,
has purchased the adjoining store
room from Mrs. M. G Toms and
Charles French Toms and is making
arrangements for the immediate oc-
cupation of the new quarters, which
will. mean the doubling of the floor
capacity of the store.
While temporary alterations will
be-made whereby the new quarters
will be occupied Immediately, the
firm has under contemplation
changes which will be more conven-
lent and will give more attractive
display of goods by means of more
modern improvements, which will be
made as soon as the rush of summer
business is over.
The firm of E. Lewis & Son has
been in business in Hendersonville
for, II years and except for one
year has been occupying the present
quarters. The business has grown
from year to year. A few years
ago the firm bought it's own home
and made quite a number Of i'm
prOvements, but these have been
found to be inadequate as a result
of which expansion has necessarily
come.
Carpenters are working on the
building and an opening will be made
between the two rooms but the wall
will not be entirely removed until the
more extensive and permanent i'm
prOvements are made in the winter
The steady growth of the business
t0f E Lewis & Son speaks fattering-
lv of the policies of the management
and the eXpasiOn now in progress is
quite complimentary to the futnre
kGf Hendersonyille and Henderson
caupty, showing the faith and cer-
fidence of this business firm ia its
tmade territory.
