OVER 3,000 MEN ARE ' EMPLOYED ON MOUNTAIN Hugo Task Confronted Southern From Old Fort to Ridgecrest Had to Rebuilt U. Miles. 8peelat to Green abero Ncwa, - Asheville, Aug. 24. The story of the gig. Jtie work which the Southern railway ia doing on the Asheville di vision between Old Fort and nidge. crest, in order to restore the untold damage' caused by the flood of July 15, reads almost like a page trom no tion, it is so unusual and out of the ordinary. This small stretch of the main line of the Asheville division just 11 miles in all, has caused the Southern more trouble, more anxi ety and expense, perhaps than all the rest of the damage to the system in western North Carolina. Rising almost shpinx-like, three town or villngcs, Graphiteville, Den dron and Old Fort have camps which have grown into hustling little ci,t ies, with electric lights, water and sewer systems, resident physicians and everything else that goes to make up the modern town. Estimates place the number or men in these camps at between 2,500 and 3,500, but it seems a safe guess that there are more than 3,000 men em ployed on this short stretch of road. Great cooking kitchens are maintain ed at the three base camps, with din ing rooms which resemble the modern big circus. As an example ot the great torces engaged on this job, a man who has walked from Ridgecrest to Old ort and back again within the past few days, says that it would take the en tire military torce or Worth Carolina, as now encamped at Camp"Olenn, to fill the camps of the men on this job. were the railroad gangs to quit and. the soldiers be sent in. Despite the fact that work trains have been moved between Old Fort and Ridgecrest within the past few davs. as reliable reports state, there seems to be no definite day fixed for the opening of the line to passenger travel. It is stated by those who are in a position to know that when this line is again thrown open to the public, the road will be safer, of a more sub stantial nature, than it was even when first built manv years ago. While 'the work of rebuilding the road now. is being pushed, the job is being done in such a manner as to make it of the best a monument to' the men who are doing it. !

ARRESTED FOR MURDER COMMITTED YEARS AGO. Andy Wise Was Arrested for Murder in Buncombe 44 Years Ago and Es caped. Rearrested Yesterday. Asheville, Aug. 24. The strong arm of the law reached out today and An dy Wise was arrested at Will.amston, est Va., for the murder of John Rogers in this county 44 years ago. 'Wise, then a young man, was arrest ed 44 years ago for the murder of Rogers by Levi P. Plemmons, then sheriff, and was brought to Asheville. The county courthouse then stood on Pack square and while the sheriff was hitching his horse W:se made his es cape. Not a trace was found of him until a few weeks ago, when SVeve Rogers, son of the murdered man, came to Sheriff Mitchell and reported that Wise had been seen in French Broad township near here. Although the sheriff was early on the scene, he found that Wise had taken a tra-n at Alexander and escaped. Wise is now an old man and is said to have an excellent record where he has been making his home all these years. He will be returned here at owce to stand trial although Sheriff Mrchell is puzzled as to whether or not be will be able to gather anv liv ing witnesses against the man. Since Wise escaped Sheriff Plemmons, aged 82, has passed away, and many people who lived fhere the murder is alleg ed to have been committed, are dead.
