Freight Cars on Rampage.

The southern station was the scene
of a freight wreck of rather small
proportions last Wednesday. There
were several freignt cars on the track
near the station RI in some way 2
of them got loose and started on q
mad career down the track Forum
ateiy, before they had gone very raj
they were stopped. but not until some
little damake had been done. One OF
tne cars Was derafled and another
~telescoped.
The wreck created a great deal OF
excitement for quite awhile and spec
u1ation was rife as tn the amount q
damage done. All of the debris has
not yet been cleared away but a few
hours work will bring order out OF
chaos and Agent Bailey, along with
his co-workers, can again pursue the
even tenor of their way.

How to Reduce High Prices.

@
Des Moines, lowa, July 26.-How
to reduce the high cost OF living was
solved by over three thousand con-
sumers who today established here a
permanent market place.
Relieving a campaign of several
weeks, the city officials turned the
city hall lawn over to the vegetable
and farm produce vendors. Nearly q
half hundred hucksters were lined up
on the plot. The rush of consumers
began ats o'clock. Two hours later
the hucksters had sold out.
New potatoes were bought for 40
cents a peck, or $1.75 a bushel,
where foremrly the price had been
So to 81 per bushel. Apples which
had been selling at Is cents a pecls
were sold for 10 and IL cents. Gu
cumbers found ready buyers at three
for ten cents, against the price o.
10 cents each, which had been pre-.
vailing. For nearly four hours the
people,, men, women and children
swarmed in from every direction and
damned the street in front of the
city hall in an effort to get to the
wagons The services of al squad
Of police were necessary during the
rush, although the crowd was or
derby.

Two Killed Over Game of Cards.

Waynesville. J y 25.-On last Fri
day night, in Graham county, at Vel
low Creek, where Ed. Bryson lives,
Elliott Bartlett and Tom FrizZel went
to spend the night with Bryson. After
supper they engaged in a game Of
cards and played all night, it is said.
Bryson claimed sixty cents, when
they said they only owed him thirty
cents. Bryson then said they were
not treating him right. Then n OF
the others said they would have q"it
then, but they did not quit, and play
ed on till a quarrel arose over the
game, whereupon Bryson drew his
pistol and killed both Bartlett and
Frizzel. Bryson then made his es.
cape and went to a friends house or
rEazel Creek, about ten miles dis
tant.
Deputy Sheriff Sherman Jenkins
was soon hot on the trail of Bryso7.
and located him at his friends house,
and while attempting to arrest him
he resisted to such an extent that t.
officer with his 22-calibre rife sho'
and killed Bryson. So Their are
three men dead in Graham count
over cards for the paltry sum of sixty
cents
The mercury here dropped to At
degrees this morning.

GOOD

western North Carolina has got
q bigger field to draw from in the
tourist line than any resort section OF
the country. We have not only the
South as a field, but the Southwest
as we'll. I believe that each resort
point on city in Western North Car
Olina ought to have the cooperative
spirit in getting visitors to THIS sec
ton"
So said yesterday MI. George
Stephens, owner of the Kanuga club
Lake Kanuga, where he has a record
breaking crowd of guests. who are
members of the club.C Continuing, he
said:
''This is the day of the automobile
and it is evident that here is at least
twice the number of automobiles
brought here by tourists, that there
was last year. The prosperity of n
section, then, means the prosperity of
another. For this reason Henderson
vile should be interested in Ashe-
Ville's prosperity and vice versa. The
automobile gives the tourist a longer
stride, so to speak, a longer reach,
and it is quite possible to have break
fast in Asheville, spend three hours
in H~endersonville and return to Ashe-
vile in time for lunch. With the adj
vent of good roads more automobile
owners should come. This means
that a very desirable class of people
will learn more of the exceptional
advantages of Western North Carroll
ma and will come to know it better as
a place for health and recreation.
Henderson county has been thor
oughly aroused to the necessity for
good roads, and the first work in
grading and preparing a permanent
highway for automobile traffic was
done on the road connecting Hender-
sonville and Asheville. Buncombe
eounty's authorities are now macad-
izing the road in Buncombe to the
Henderson county line. This road is
destined to be the main highway into
Asheville from all Southern points,
and its development by Henderson and
Buncombe counties mean an asset of
meStimable value to both counties.
In the Kanuga estate we built per-
haps the first sand-clay road con
Etructed in Western North Carolina,
being the road connecting Henderson
vile and Kanuga club. After three
years test it has more than met all
expectations of the engineers who adj
VOcated it in preference to the macad-
am road. I myself believe that the
day is not far distant when the vari-
Gus county authorities of North Car
DINA will see the wisdom and econo-
my of departing from the macadam
road in favor of the sand-clay. 1 was
glad to see The Citizen a few weeks
ago advocating the sand-clay road.
I am sure that a trial of the sand-clay
will convince even the most skeptical.
The road from Hendersonville to
Kanuga is in splendid condition
and hardly a day passes that we do
not have visitors from Asheville. We
are glad to see them and hope they
will come in increasing numbers

The attack came while Mrs. Hud-

that Mrs. Hudgins was past medlcai

death relieved the sufferer. There
was a complete paralysis of sensation

from the time the first pain came un-
til death.

WHOLE CONGREGATION
CHANGES IT'S CHURCH.

Hundred and Fifty Presbyterians
Vote to Become Disciples of Christ.
New Yor, July 26.-The change of a
whole congregation from one deligi-
GUS denomination to another is the
unusual shift that will take place in
Borough Park, Brooklyn, this week,
with the admission of the Peoples
church to the Diciples of Christ.
The church was begun six a
ago as a. union congregation. Success
attended the work, and property
worth 100000 was accumulated. The
pastor was a Presbyterian and made
q Presbyterian church. Several
weeks ago the Presbyterian pastor
resigned. Financial difficulties fol-
lowed and help vas obtained from a
wealthy member of the Disciples of
Christ. Last Sunday, the congrega-
voted formally to become a Dis
c1ples church. The congregation
numbers about $50 persons.

ENSIGN YOUNG e

Wednesday Morning.

wednesday morning.
Morganton, July 27.-Ensign Rob-
ert S. Young, Jr., of Concord, who dis
appeared from his ship, the United
States torpedo boat destroyer Perkins,
while moored in the Brooklyn navy
yard two weeks ago, and who left be-
hind a note saying he intended to
drown himself, arrived in Morganton
night before last on the midnight
train and was Immediately taken to
the Broadoaks sanitarium, a private
institution for the treatment of nerv-
GUS patients. Ensign Young was &C
companied by his father, DR.. r. S.
Young, ST., of Concord, they having
come direct from New York City.
The ensign appeared to be in perfect
health physically, but it is said that
he is suffering from nervous break
down.
The arrival at Morganton seems to
have been carefully planned, and
very few people knew of the young
mans presence at the sanitarium un-
til late this afternoon. Beyond the
statement that he would remain in
the sanitarium until completely rest
ed and restored to health, no infer
nation would be given out.
The whereabouts of the young en-
sign since his strange disappearance
from his ship while under arrest for
oVerstaying his shore leave or how
he was discovered could not be
learned, but it is aid that he was dis
covered in New York by his father
some time ago and since that time has
been kept in a hotel there until ar
rangements could be made to bring
him South without his identity being
detected.

ANY town that does not ad-
equately support its local press
is shortsighted and lacking in
public spirit. The local paper.
beyond all other agencies. diff
fuses local news. promotes
commercial prosperity. and is
the best advertising medium
for its business men. A paper
asks support not as matter of
charity but that it may the
more perfectly serve the inter
ests of the community. This
is something which in many
places, merchants and the pub
lie generally overlook. But
when this support is accorded
every rightful interest in the
town is IL gamer.
