BOOM PREDICTED FOR INDUSRY AS RAIL STRIKE ENDS JFall Business Will be Easily Handled by Railroads; Coal Output to.. Meet Demands New York, Sept. 18. Industry and "business of the nation, according to reports received, will make a speedy recovery from the effects of the two strikes, and will move forward quick er than had been anticipated. The soft coal output is running close to 10,000,000 tons a week and supplies of this commodity are such that the steel industry, which falls in the lowest class of priority, is now -receiving sufficient fuel to run at 60 . per cent of capacity instead of the 50 -per cent of two weeks ago. More blast furnaces are being blown in and the trade expects all of August's losses in this respect to be made good pres entl. The limiting factor in steel works operations is now in fact not a shortage of fuel but a scarcity of the kind of freight cars needed to carry the industry's products. With soft coal mining in swing .and with anthracite mining in the process of resumption, the railroads are carrying the largest amount of freight in nearly two years. Car loadings for the week ended Sep tember 2 totalled 932,000, an in crease of 41,000 cars over the pre vious week. Part of the " gain is due to the accelerated movement of soft coal, nevertheless the volume of general merchandise carried also Tias continued to gain. The present traff-c has been exceeded only dur ing short periods in the autumn of 1920. E. J. RHODES BUYS CALDWELL QUARRY The Wilson Creek stone quarries in Caldwell county have been purchased by E. J. Rhodes, of Hendersonville, formerly of this city, who will move his family to that point and take ac tive charge of the property. : The quarry, located on the C. and TJ. .W. railway, is one of the best in the south; One contract' on hand calls tor 60,000 tons of stone. Mr. Rhodes moved from Asheville to Balfour in 1907 and was connected with the Balfour -quarry for a number ot years. Recently he lias been in Castonia with the Simmons Construc tion company. Mr. Rhodes Is a prac tical business man and no doubt will develop the property extensively, The laymen. of the Carolina Baptist Association organized Sunday after noon at a three-hour session by electing W. A. Garland as president of this body for which the association recently provided in its annual gath ering. The purpose of the new organiza tion is to foster those causes in which the Baptists as a denomination are in terested. The meeting was held in the First Baptist church building and was at tended by representatives of a num ber of churches. After songs led by Roy C. Bennett, scripture reading by S. S. Rozier of East Flat Rock and prayer by Mr. Pettit of that place, the meeting was addressed by Mr. Garland on the origin, purposes and advantages of the laymen's movement among the Baptists. W. B. Sinclair addressed the meet ing on the objects that need foster ing by the laymen. Both of the speakers covered the subject to the extent that little addi tional information was necessary as to tasks to which the Baptists might to good advantage lay their hands. A miscellaneous discussion followed and lasted for some time as to the best method of organizing. T he meeting decided to elect a president and a secretary, Mr. Garland being elected president and Noah Hollowell the sec retary. They will confer as to suit able persons to appoint as vice presi dents, one being designated for each of the six groups of churches into which the Carolina. Baptist associa tion has been divided. ? Another meeting will be held at an early date, when a noted speaker will be present. OOSTERS CINCH CHAMPIONSHIP IN SERIES, 5 TO 2 The Hendersonville Boosters, on Friday, cinched the championship io far as the "Western North Carolina League is concerned, by beating the Asheville team, the last count being some 15 runs to 3. The series was really won on Thursday, however, when the locals defeated the Skylanders on their own grounds, after Manager Bull had re fused to play in Hendersonville, as stipulated. With Friday's game the series stand 5 to 2 for Hendersonville. Pat Richards, sport writer for an Asheville paper, describes the game of Friday as a farce, decrying the fact that the fans paid out good money to see it. A farce it was, but the comedy did not bgein until after the first two or three innings, when an adding ma chine, hastily requisitioned by the scorekeepers, proved ineffective since it only registered up to a certain amount. The outcome being thus definitely settled, so far as the Boost ers were concerned, with a half dozen home runs and a dozen scores to their credit, the Skylanders pro ceeded to turn the tragedy into a ! comedy. "Red," the. little batboy for ! the locals, scored the last run, after getting an infield hit off Pitcher Mc Bannister. Cleveland Johnson Died Here Friday T.

Bo mar, Rev. B. F. Siler and the local chapter of Modern Woodman of Amer ica. . . . The deceased had been a sufferer for more than a year. He underwent operations and treatment in various hospitals and they could ;give no permanent relief. Some day the intellect in moving pictures wil equal . the amazing me- i chanical perfection of that industry. N I !' COL. SMITH CRITICALLY ILL W. A. Smith, who has been indis posed for some time, having been confined to his home for the past few weeks, took a turn for the worse the latter part of the week and his friends are grieved to know that his condi tion for the last two or three days has been considered critical and very unfavorable. Col. Smith suffered a nervous breakdown during the summer and although he rallied sufficiently to make his appearance at his office again ne soon grew worse and his friends have not been permitted to visit him for the last few days. FORD PLANTS MAY RE-OPEN SOON Detroit, Sept. 18. Although the manufacturing plants of the Ford Mo tor Company were closed on Satur day last, officials of the company to day expressed the hope that develop ments will occur in the near future in the coal crisis that will permit the re-opening of the plants. Nothing would be left undone, it was said, to find a way of obtaining at what was considered a fair price sufficient fuel to reopen the plants. It was pointed out that the mere delivery of a large amount of coal would not warrant a reopening, but that a continuing supply at satisfac tory prices was necessary, owing to the magnitude of the industry and the necessity of co-ordinating the work of all departments on a schedule not susceptible to interruption. The reported plan of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of a day-to-day co-operative distribution of fuel had not been presented to Ford officials tonight, nor had the details of the plan been laid before the local Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Ford said he "could not discuss the plan without giving it careful study, but indicated it would be con sidered by his advisers. That part of the proposal relating to equalized distribution and the sta bilization of prices was in line with the position taken by Henry Ford and it was believed the manufacturer might look upon it with favor.

Stevens, who will be re called as the publicity artist who assisted The News in its Civic and Industrial campaign, the sixth ar ticle of which appears in this is ue, is so well impressed with, the t nanner in which this paper has onducted the publicity campaign that he is using The News pages is models and comments in a let er to the editor as follows: "I noticed the news story and vlitorial you carried concerning . each article, also the box on front age, etc. This in my opinion iends a most decided beneficial in fluence to the articles themselves, nnd I am glad to see you giving the underwriters something a good ' it above the average for their money, a fact they should appre cite. So few editors consider this point. "In showing your articles to Lee leathers at Shelby I called his at- ' Mention to editorials, etc. and right ' away he' got busy himself and said ': he was going to follow the same idea. In" fact, have had several j very pleasing compliments on the ! Tendersonville pages. I would ; like to have your entire series." 14,000 TONS COAL NEEDS FOR COUNTY Fuel Distributor R. O.

A similar institution was made pos sible by Prof. Karp's efforts in Mi ami, Fla., which did much towards making Miami a . musical center and showing tourists the advantages that, were to be obtained for their chil dren.
