E. J. RHODES BUYS
DONNAHOO FARM.

Mr.. E. J. Rhodes, of the Carolina Oll
and Supply Company, has purchased
the Donnahoo Farm of seventy-lVe
acres on the Sugar Loaf Road. The
price is understood to have been
$500. The farm, which includes
many acres of splendid land, also IN
cludes exceptionally good build
ings and fine young orchard. MT
Rhodes says that while this purchase
does not mean any change in his pres
ent business connection it will PROB
ably mean that he will live on his
farm during the summer months. The
former owner showed excellent. pro-
fits made in hog-raising, and Mr'
Rhodes will raise pure-bred Poland
Chinas and Berkshires for sale, and
will also cary .'side-line'' of White
Wyandottes for those who wish to buy

BIG STILL CAPTURED -, 49,
NEAR SALUDA FRIDI- I

One of the biggest and handsomeat
blockade stills ever captured in the
boundaries of the Old North State IS
reposing peacefully in the quiet coa-
fines of the Henderson County JGiI,
where it was placed by Sheriff Cess
following a short but busy trip down
toward SaIuda. The underground
wireless leading into the sheriff s
Office conveyed the information some
days ago that down on the Spartal~
Burg Road whiskey was being made ca
a scale that would rival Louisville III

ixhe shecifcc, u;;tta Constable T. ~. s.
ton and Capt. T. V. LYDIA, got into

proved to be a spot near the ccos2----.
of the Spartanburg Road and the ScE-
thern Railway, just this side OF Saludt
The wireless must have worked bo>1i
ways, because in spite OF the fact
that the plant and supplies were 81
ready for a rushing business no o-1c
was present to welcome the V1slters
or make any claims of ownership. TIC
officers found a fine big o5-gallI1
still and worm, all of solid copper :.
lot of meal, canned sorghum, a-d
several stands containing something
Nike 5000 gallons of still beer. Scn2.'7

NOTHING sFOILs THE H0LIDATs

The Christmas holidays passed OH
in Hendersonville with an almost COM
pIete absence of disorder. A couple
of Uncle Sans soldiers spending the
day here absorbed a trif1e more than
the prescribed quantity of "blockade"
and were allowed to cool on Tor an
hour or two in the. shady preclncts
of the City Hall, and then went their
way rejoicing, grateful that no Sc
verer penalty had been exacted tor
their small celebration. One or two
local celebrities, white and colored'
enriched the city treasury by small
fines, but on the whole it was probably
the most orderly and undisturbed
Holiday season Hendersonville has
vet achieved. For which thanks are
rendered by all good citizens, and es-
pecially by the city authorities.

Hendersonville Shriners who attend
ed the recent ceremonial in Charlotte
bring back the good news that the
Mobiles of the Order of the Mystic
Shrine are to take charge OF every
thing and everybody in and around
Hendersonville on July 4th, 1913.
Hendersonville people look back with
much pleasure to the Shrine meeting
held here in July 1916, and it is not
saving too much to state that there
is no gathering or convention on the
slate which our people would rather
have. Chief Potentate ]. o. Walker
of Oasis Temple has many frlends
living here, and it is well known that
the shriners were we'll pleased with
the welcome accorded them on the oc-
casion of their last visit. Main Street

NO TRESPASSING PERMITTED
ON PTSGAH FOREST RESERVE

It may not be generally known thai
the Pisah National Game preserve con-
tanning approximately 100000 acres is
the only Federal game refuge in the
east. In fact, there is no other this
side Of the Mississippi river. It at the
wild game. Within an inclosure on the
game preserve is a herd of elk trans
ported here at a great expense; to
this herd will shortly be added six
bison. These resources are of real
value to this part of the state The
deer and other wild animals if ade-
quately protected on the preserve will
be the source from which will come
great quantities of game onto lands
outside the boundary of the game pre-
serve. In time this abundance of
game should attract numerous visitors
to this part Of the state, to say nothing
( of the pleasure and sport that will be
derived from it by the people in this
community.
Since the creation of the Pisgah Ma
tional Game preserve about two years
1ago the forest service, under whose
Jurisdiction this land is, has tried to
follow humane and sympathetic
policy of education among the people
who live in and adjacent to the boun-
Diary, with the hope that illegal fish
sp,ep H.
trespasing has not diminished, but
those guilty of the violations of the law
are becoming more daring and more
ruthless in their depredatiOns. 1t
would appear that moral suasion has
failed.
The conditions if continued as al
present will be reflection on this re-
gisn and will be detrimental to its
best interests. It is believed that the
people will not only expect, but de-
mand, that this state or affairs be cor
rected.
There now seems to be but one
! course to pursue; that is to prosecute
to the limit of the law these violatOr:
Of it. In following this course thu
forest officers will not only have tht
moral support of the responsible anC
law abiding people of Asheville am
Western North Carolina, but of tn
kpFess of this community as well.
Several warrants have already beer
issued for game trespassers on tn
game preserve, and the matter ha
been reported to the United State
marshal. Full assurances have bee1
} given that hearty cooperation Of al
deputies in the apprehension and pro
secution Of all trespassers will b
given.

and the additional funds for the actual
building and furnishing of the hotel,
probably $3.50, 100000, to be furnished
by the insurance companies, who
would be protected by first mortgage
on the entire property. When Mr..
Tillett came here to discuss the mat"
ter he entirely approved the plan, and
stated that he believed that it would
meet with the approval of the insur-
ance companies; furthermore that he
himself would make a trip to the home
offices of the companies to urge its
acceptance at once; also stating that
if the proponents of the idea could Sc
cure the endorsement of P. w. D.
Jones of Charlotte, special agent for
the Aetna Company, he thought there
would be little doubt of prompt and
favorable action.
The present status is, that Mr.. Til
lett has left for New York as he prom
, ised, and that Mr.. Ewbank has re-
ceived letter from Mr.. Jones saying
that this matter, as presented by Mr..
Tillett, appeals to me-" Also stating
however, that as matter of course
he could not make known in advance
how the insurance companies would
regard it. AS matter Of fact, local
men have gone far enough to be as

1t has been known for some weeks
that movement is under foot to build
big modern fire-proof hotel on the
old st. John location, and it is also
known that the prospects of success
are good, but from the number of
inquiries received in this connection
it is believed that a statement of the
present status of this proposition will
be of interest to Hustler readers.
Some eighteen months ago, when
the insurance companies who had to
foot the bill for the burning of the St.
John Hotel finally won out in their
effort to be subrogated to the rights
of R. D. Waring in the hotel site, they
found themselves with splendid piece
of Main Street property which had
cost them something like $30,0O0.00,
and which of course was bringing in
no revenue. E. w. Ewbank, president
of the Citizens National Bank, got in
touch with G. w. T1llett OF Charlotte,
attorney for the insurance companies
concerned, and suggested that they
might convert a loss into profit by
erecting on the vacant site a big and
really modern hotel. Mr.. Tillett was
so impressed by the suggestion that
! Shortly afterward he called up MIR
Ewbank, saying that if the business
men of Hendersonville we're willing to
take hold of the proposition it could
probably be put through. A meeting
was promptly called, and the mater
thoroughly canvassed, the plan finally
| approved calling for the organization
Of a hotel corporation with capital
stock of S2OO,OOO.OO of which about
$50, 100000 (the cost Of the site) is to be

international PAPER,

International Paper drew the limelight
yesterday by quick runup to TEX from
az, and closed the day near the top al
a net gain Of points. Buying in In
ternational apparently is late recogni-
ton of the fact that for three years its
directors have been ploughlng its surplus
back into working capital and that in
the last four years it has earned about
81 per cent. on its common. or consid l.
ably more than it's current market price.
In 1917 International Paper paid off the
last 33la per cent. of its accumulated
preferred obligation. This was divided
into three parts and II per cent. was
paid In preferred. IL in common and ~
In cash. In 1916 l. z. established a
surplus Of s4,S36,492, or 21.65 per cent. ;
In 1917 the surplus was s6,719.6S7, or
S4.O2 per cent, and in 1915 the surplus
was S3.652,57S, or 1S.4S on its common.
1t has not paid any common dividends.
but with the record of these earnings be-
fore 1t it is considered but a question of
short time until some such action will be
taken. One of the potent factors in the
immediate move is that the period of
price fixing in the paper industry expires
in November and that in the free mar
ket International, as all other manufac-
turers. win be able to command higher
prices for its product
