The Oteen veteran S hospital,
which is served directly by the
broken main, was withoutwater and
made arrangements to bring in
tankfuls for drinking purposes.
Fires were pulled early tonight un-

Crops and secondary roads in
the Swannanoa, North Fork and
Flat Creek valleys apparently suf-
fered heaviest from the high wat
err.
Practically all bridges on these
roads were washed out and a score
or more of houses were carried
away. Yet undetermined damage
was done to crops and livestock.
The state test farm at Swannanoa
estimated damage to crops and
fences there at So, 900.
Traffic has been restored on all
highways except the one between
Brevard and Hendersonville, but
railroad service from the east was

FINK RE- ELECTED
N. E.. LABOR HEAD
Commissioner Shuford Speaks
At Closing Session Of
Durham Meeting

DURHAM, Aug. 14.-R-Reelec-
ton Of c. A. Fink of Salisbury as
president of the state federation of
labor for another one-year term
and an address by State Labor
Commissioner Forrest Shuford this
afternoon brought the 34th annual
convention of the state federation
to a close here. Fink's reelection
over George Kendall of Charlotte,
the only other nominee, was de-
clared unanimous by the conven-
ton after the first ballot.
Stating that North Carolina
needs a state wage and hour law"
Labor Commissioner Shuford con-
graduated the federation for it's
unselfish efforts to bring about the
passage of such a law. II know
that generally speaking the men,
bers of the federation are able to
take care of themselves" Shuford
said, "but there are other workers
in the state getting 10 and is cents
an hour and working 70 to 80 hours
a week who need the protection of
a wage hour law. We want to
bring these workers into the fold
and make the managers of certain
lntra-state industries compete fair
ly with manufacturers paying de-
cent wages" the commissioner de-
clared.
He added that he was grateful
for the efforts of c. A. Fink, presi-
dent of the federation and of other
members of the federation for
their aid in attempting to obtain
more appropriations for the de-
partment of labor.
Charlotte was chosen as the 1871
convention city.
H. L. Kiser of Charlotte, was re-
elected first vice president of the
convention by acclamation. H. G.

capped from the crumbling house

All means of communication

Old residents of those towns said

The New and Watauga rivers

Landslides blocked highways all

Witnesses said the raging torrents
in some places picked up buildings
and tossed them about like match

bridges were swept away.
Galax, in the southwest corner of
Virginia, was isolated last night, and
about 700 were reported to have fled
