Hree., Tenlnml and Plckerwon In con nection with tho failure of the First Nutlotiul Hank of Ashevllle nro beinit tried, wns consumed with the testi mony of MiiJ. Breese, tho president of tho bunk from Its organization to the day of Its falure. Maj. Drcese was still on the stsnd testifying on direct examination with tho adjournment of court for tho 1 o'clock recess. The court room thla morning pre sented a more animated and Interest ing; aspect than for many days pre vious. There were In the court a number of hulles and no few men as spectators. The spectators, however. for the. most part were strangers In the town; very few of the townspeople being In attendance. Maj. nreese testified during the morning to many transactions having to do with the affairs of the bank; his own Individual transactions and other trn timet Ions In which Penland and IHi'kcrson and Keuben it. Itawls were Interested or involved. The witness explained the Rollins' "forged'' noto mntter. and explained It In a manner at lenst most satisfactory to the con tention of the defense. Once while Mn.1 Breese was testifying to the fin ancial standing or worth of P. E. h" Jenkins, a witness from Transylvania county called by the prosecution, Juilve Newman with some show of Keeling admonished the witness not to testify to matters manifestly Incompe tent. It came nbout In this way: Judge Moore asked the witness about a letter that tlreese had written during the Intter dnys of the bank In which he stated that Jenkins waa worth some thing like 15,000; he said that he never heard that there was a mort gage on Jenkins' property .until this trlul; that Jenkins was prosperous, that witness knew Jenkins owne.l property ami that he knew Jenkins wns "a cub-stone money lender." Maj. Breese spvklng particularly to the Jury declared that when he stated In tha letter that Jenkins was worth fbiiOO It was true. He then added: "Any, man' In Transylvania county would cnnllrm that statement." Judge Newman at this utterance turned to I Maj. Ilreese and rebuked the witness I for the statement. H told Maj. I lirees that he was too sensible a man I not to know that It waa Incompetent. Maj. Hreese regretted, that he had been thoughtless. I Question of Intent. !'

A tense sltua tlon Is apparent In the vicinity of the Pressed Hteel Car company's works at McKee's Hocks today. Constabulary, deputy sheriffs and special watchmen nra on the alert, orders having been Issued to prevent the strikers congre catlng In numbers, near the mil Over 20 shots wer fired this fore- Charleston, Aug. 17. Charleston was visited last evening by wind and rain storm which, while doing no spe clal damn go In the rity beyond lit teilng the streets with branches from trees and disarranging street car schedules, had the effect of cutting the city off entirely from communica tion with the outside world for a pe riod of - several hours, and" has tied up the navy yard and suburban linn of the Consolidated Hallway com pany. The storm was peculiar for this part of the country In Its resemblance to a small tornado In Its result and1 scores of telegraph and telephone poles wer blown down. Lightning struck tho cupola of a..w.i I building and In one Instance fallen ironey 'wires nau 10 u cm iu ivi Southern train out. Wlmlstorm Along Georgia Coast, Augusta, Aug. II. A high wind storm, approaching a hurricane, pre vails over the Houth Atlantic coast noon at the ferry steamer. Qtcen, by strike sympathiser. . No shots struck the boat. The state con stabulary reached the river bank within a few minutes and drove the crowd to the hills. The ferry la used fo carry employes of the Pressed Bteel Car plant across least of here. Telegraphic communl th river. cation Is destroyed With Just a little over three weeks remaining of whnt promises to be the greatest popularity voting contest ever -conducted In Western Carolina, can didates are entering Into th spirit of the tiittle with an enthusiasm that be speaks an exceedingly torrid period from this time forth. . . The end of the first bonus period has shown many where they mad their mistakes, or course, th great majority of the leading contestant utilised that period to such good pur pose that they slept tha sleep of tha peaceful, until the second bonus waa nnounced, but those who did not se- ' cure one or more bonuses ar by no means dismayed. Their failure to do so has In no way effected their deter mination. With tha bull dog tenacity that la worthy of great admiration, they ar going to put forth every ef fort to take advantage of th oppor tunity now offered by th contest de partment of Th Qasetto-News. Now It Is up to those who failed to secure a bonus certificate on th first offer to seise this excellent opportu nity to repair that mistake within th next three week. A little rebuff, a light setback, a thrilling disappoint ment Is hut the acid testing of pure gold of one's great resolution In this world. Tak for an example a baseball game, where many a gam la won In th ninth Inning. anJ It Is always the extra Inning games that develop th real merit of th player. Kegrettlng past mistakes Is a most woeful waste of valuable time which n be employed profitably by going ahead and avoiding th making of those same mistakes again. Kvery candidate has heard many. many times the meaningless word "No 1 can't subscribe, but I will do all I can to help you." They have heard the words so many times, and noted th expression that accompanies them, that they can almost tell at a glance when they ar about to be uttered. It Is an experience that Is as commonly recurrent as the rising of th sun, only It happens with more frequency. Itut th wise contestants are not discouraged by this sort of "help." They have an answer ready whk-h toes something Ilk this, "Well, If yeu really want to help me, show that you mean It; If you don't subscribe you don't mean anything at all. Thee is only on way for you to be of any as sistance to me, and that means you either 'come across' or virtually admit that sultry southern sephyr, or rather, common old 'hot air' formed the com ponent parts of your conversation." And then there Is another class cf friends whose promises manifest so. , an alarming tendency to take tbe r verse English; the fellow who t frankly glad that you are in th r -test; who hopes you 1 . :i, sn 1 Is Just a day or two r I giving you his own f ' (Cotit'mmJ, i .
