TWO KILLED IN WRECK
NEAR BILTMORE FRIDAY NIGHT.

Ben Enloe. of Judson, an engineer
| of a work train of the Asheville divi-
! sion. and Erwin Pitts residing at the
Imperial hotel, Asheville, fagman of
the same train, were killed Friday
night near Biltmore when several
loaded coal car crashed into their
engine. The body Of Pitts, badly
scalded and mangled, was recovered
soon after the wreck but Enloe's body
was not found until some time later.
The cars, of which there were about
eight or nine were part of freight train
No. 172 that left Biltmore shortly after
8 o'clock bound from Asheville on the
Spartanburg. division. The train was
made up wholly of coal cars and when
the engineer saw that he could not
make the hard grade of Buena Vista
hill, the train was doubled" the
front section being taken on up the
road and the rear part peing left on
the track with brakes set.
No one would say who was to blame
but the brakes did not hold and the
cars started slowly, gaining head
way on every foot of the heavy grade.
The work train was backing into Bilt-
more and the engine was just south of
a small treSte below the FairvieW
road crossing when the coal cars
crashed into it.
The runaway cars, it is declared,
must have been going at a great rate
of speed from, their momentum gain
ed in the three and one-half mile roll.
Riding the cars was a brakeman
named N. G. McGalliard. of Old Fort,
who made frantic but unsuccessful eff
forts to set the brakes. Seeing that
the crash was inevitable, he jumped
just in the nick of time, escaping with
Biltmore hospital. Pitts was riding
on the fireman's side of the engine cab
when the collision occurred and was
.scalded badly By escaping steam.
M. w. Clement. of Horseshoe. the
fireman of the work train, was also
scalded badly about the neck and side
of the head and was somewhat bru1s-
ed. He managed to jump. however,
and haved his life. He was also taken
to the Biltmore hospital.
The dead engineer was a man about
thirty years old and unmarried, and
has several brothers and other rela-
tives in the employ of the railroad.
Pitts is a young nan and has been
married only a few months. Neither
of the two men who were injured are
married.
The track was cleared early Satur-
day morning. delaying southbound
passenger train No. AZ only about an
hour.

MAIL.ORDER CONCERNS
TEACH FARMERS A LESSON.

In an article called Marketing by
Parcel Post" Farm and Fireside prints
this passage:
"'There is a big lesson for us far
mers to learn from the mail-Order
concernS' commented Ems. They
know where to buy merchandise at a
reasonable price, and, what is more
important. they know how to sell it.
Selling such a large amount of things
by mail in 1915 and the first of 1915
wasn't an accident. These people did
it by studying the needs of farmers,
using order-pulling advertisements in
farm papers, by filling orders prompt
ly, and by giving good values.
TFWhile the marketing problems
of farmers differ from those of the
mail-order houses continued Ems,
'tthe same business principles that
made the mail-order firm a winner
apply to our business. We farmers
aren't worrying as much about pro
duction as we are about selling what
we raise. We are no worrying
now about marketing our sheep. or
hogs, OF cattle with the stuff worth
around 10 and IL cents. We are not
losing any sleep over the price of
corn, or wheat, or alfalfa-except
those of us who will have to1buy grain
and hay to finish out our feeding op-
erations next winter"

CHRIST SCHOOL A
MODEL INSTITUTION
Mrs. WetmOre Tells HenderSOnVilIe
Audience Something of the Work
Being Done at Arden. ,

Mrs. Thos. Wetmore of Christ school
at Arden. was a guest of the silver tea
given by Mrs. R. M. Oates last We'd
nesday, and gave a most interesting
talk of the work her school is doing
for the people of the mountains.
Among other things she told of the
native ability and originality of the
people in their Industrial work, and as
for being a people who copied as had
been said of them. the truth was quite
n rVerSe. AS an example Of this
statement she mentioned basket Weav-
ing in the school and said their crea-
tive power in design was wonderful,
often. no two baskets being exact du-
p~licates. Mrs. Wetmore told of the
work and means of support of the
school. The school is partially sus-
tanned by the work of its pupils. The
girls are taught domestic science and
home making. The boys are instruct
ed in the trades most compatible to
their environment and inclination. The
boys of the school built a cottage last
year of the native timbers and furn-
ished it throughout with furniture
made by their own hands, thus a less
on was learned of the resources OF
their mountain home land and their
own ability to develop them. These
were only a few of the interesting
things told by Mrs. Wetmore. Her
address was replete with Interest to
her audience and gave them an insight
into possibilities within their grasp to
be of service to their people hight
here at home in home mission work.

NOTICE TO PATRONS OF THE LO-
CAL BANKS.

AS an occasional accommodation to
some of our. customers we have kept
our doors open after banking hours
for the purpose of accepting deposits
The custom. however, has grown to
such an extent that numbers of our
patrons postpone making their de-
posts until after 2 P. M. and the re-
suit has been to pile up additional
burdens upon the banks employees
and delay the balancing of ledgers un-
til so late in the day that employees
have no breathing time" till after II
o'clock at night, which is too much to
ask of them.
We, therefore, are compelled to adj
here to the rule of closing our doors
absolutely at 2 P. NJ. and we will ap-
preciate the consideration Of our GUS
tomers in t~ransacting their banking
business between the usual hours Of
9 a. m. and 2 p. m.

WILL NOT RECEIVE STUDENTS
BELOW THE FOURTH GRADE.
FaSSifern Has Employed Trained
Teacher to Look After Needs Of
Boarding and Day PUPILS.
To the editor of The Hustler:

10 LHe EulLOr OF lie HUSTLER:
Notwithstanding the fact that both
HendersonVille papers have advertis-
ed the fact that day pupils will be
welcomed at F~assifern, a report 10
the contrary has been circulated. The
management has decided it is for the
best interest Of all concerned to re-
ceive no students below the fourth
grade. Last ear IN attempt was
made to open a primary department.
Twenty children entered, represent
ing six grades. Consequently, it took
the entire time of two teachers to in
struct them. One of these has a col
lege degree and had been engaged for
high school and college preparatory
work. Any n can see that the de-
partment cost about three times as
much as it brought. in.
For the term I916-17, a trained
teacher, with abundant experience has
been engaged to look especially after
the needs of boarding and day pupils
who are not ready for the high school
course. Girls who are ready to be-
gin fourth years work will be receiv-
ed either as boarding or day pupils.
Mrs. Lucian Walker, who will be in
charge of this intermediate depart
ment, is a woman of culture. splendid
mental endoWments wide experience,
She taught in Charlotte graded schools.
the Presbyterian College (now
Queen's) st. Mary's, Raleigh, and Vir-
GINA College, Roanoke. Fassifern
congratulates itself upon the acquisi-
ton of so valuable al acquisition to
it's faculty.

ATONES FOR HER SIN
BY Saving OUTCASTS
Woman Who Figured in Rosenthal
Murder Case Dies Rescue Worker.
,pec;.l tn The washinpton Herald

Special to The Washington Herald
New York, Nov. 30.-The woman who,
under the name of Mrs. Mary Goode,
made sensational revelations of police
grating upon disreputable houses, fol-
lowing the Rosenthal murder, died yes
terday afternoon in the furnished-room
Thirty-fourth street.
With her death was revealed part of
the mystery of her life, and 1t became
known that for nearly four years she had
devoted her life and her means to the
reformation of wayward girls and the
aid Of released prisoners.
Lena Cuen was her right name. She
was the beautiful daughter of a promi-
nent Troy family, and had been accepted
In society in that city, Albany and Sara
toga Springs. That was the fact which,
as Mary Goode, she fought for days to
keep from the investigating committee
who were questioning her about graft
payments to the police, and fact which
she kept secret to her death.
AS a young woman Miss Cuen became
,unruly; she insisted on staying out too
late at night and her parents induced her
to go to a convent. For a time she
seemed contrite. But in 1885, when she
was 20, she ran away from the convent
and came to New York. Here she OBJ
tanned a position as a stenographer and
for years was employed by the superin-
tendent of a large business house. She
attributed her fall to the luncheons and
dinners and suppers she had with him.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 30.-Henceforth II
the liquor a man consumes In Denver
is adulterated and the adulterated pro-
duct causes illness, the city may be held
responsible.
The city council has passed and the
mayor signed an ordinance which i'm
poses on the department Of health the
responsibility for the inspection Of all
liquors received in the city.
To stop bootlegging is the main pur-
pose and intent of the measure It is
a violation of the ordinance for any per-
son or firm to have liquor in their pos
session that does not bear the health
departments inspection stamp. Such
possession will, constitute prima facie
evidence Of wrong doing, and it is this
feature of the ordinance that is counted
on to become a potent weapon in the
hands of the police department.
