At the auxiliary coal yard near the I woodyard, there was the !araa oppar- i ently endless procession of thoe-wbo ! want! from !5 to 250 pounds o 1 coal, and an observer may verify the 1 fact that rood weijrht is irtiron. i The woodyard ie also doing it e- eustoined rushing business, and dill ' gent inquiry failed to locate anybody I who Js,,act)ialljf suffering from the 1 cold.': Miss Grace MHler,- secretary of j the Associated charities, stated this i morning In response to Inquiries that the greatest difficulty that the organ- ization has to eontend with is drayage i facilities. Misa Miller yesterday de ; livered wood In her automobile to one or two famlHea and Miss Allie Rymer, home demonstration agent for the ' county," used her Ford to the same i good effect. The Poy Scouts aided ! the charities In fuel distribution, also. ; Tho loan of an automobile or dray ! would be appreciated by the organ l ization. - Miss Miller stated that Mr. Buckner, in chnrge of a woodyard In . West Aaheville, has done splendid work in promptly delivering orders to people who were badly In need of wood. The fuel administration relieved some actual want yesterday. By 8 o'clock yesterday morning a womsn appeared at. the coal yard near the City Kail asking for con!, and she showed in hor appea-rancs that , she had come from a cold house. : An other cose was reported at the some time, "the' children are crying with cold." it was said. Tba police patrol wagon was sent out at once to supply these homes witn coal. Close to inn orders were filled be fore 5 o'clock in the afternoon. It was a new experience for Asheville; one that seemed Impossible last year as 1017 came into vier. Tt was cold work, too, but those In charge had the satisfaction cf knowing last night that they hud kept somebody from suffer ing from cold. "The Citizens' Transfer company lent one of its trucks to haul coal from the car bought from the Southern Railway company 3. U. McConnell and O. D. Allison helped to deliver coal to customers. Many came with their own drays or carried off small orders on their shoulders.

As a full realization has spread of the desperate battle this young woman had with this scoundrel, the people appear to be waking to the determination to strike terror to such evildoers by the sure ness and severity of the punishment meted out to this so far unknown man, .
