FOURTEEN BANKS FAIL
IN MOUNTAIN SECTION
Brevard Mass Meeting Paved
Way for Handling the
Situation
Transylyania county's strongly en
trenched position was once more giv
en emphasis last Thursday when the
news was flashed to the world that the
Central Bank and Trust company of
Asheville had failed to open for bus
iness. Close upon this news came the
announcement that all the banks in
Hendersonville had been closed, and
in rapid succession announcements
were made of the closing of other
banks in Western North Carolina,
until the total had reached fourteen.
The American National, at Asheville;
the Piltmore-Oteen at Biltmore; and
then smaller banks at Bast Plat
Rock, Tryon, Columbus, Waynesville,
Murphy. Leicester, Black Mountain.
State and Government officials soon
arrived upon the scene to take charge
of the banks, aid announcement was
made by these officials that the clos
ing of "several of the banks were
caused by the hysteria of the people
who became alarmed and made runs
upon perfectly solvent banks, causing
them to closc when there was no ne
cessity whatever for such closing, had
the people acted with caution and
common sense, and refrained from
making runs on the banks.
A ma.>s meeting was called by
Mayor Whitmire in Brevard on
Thursday afternoon, and many citi
zens made pleas for concerted, intel
ligent action here. Officers and di
rectors of the banks were present,
and Messrs. Shipman and Silver
steen, for the Brevard Banking com
pany, made statements of the satis
factory condition of that institution,
after which the citizens present point
ed to the necessity of calm action and
the value of all standing together.
The local bank was in nowise con
nected with the Central Bank and'^
Trust company of Asheville, hence >p
was in no jeopardy, except that whjety
would result from a run being made '*
on the bank Many citizens made T
statements, all being in hearty ac- j
cord that by standing squarely to
gether the community need have no
fear of the local institution being af
fected.
The Pisgah Industrial Bank, hav
ing considerable time deposits on f(
hand, also had, it was announced, tl
ample ready funds to meet any de- t?
mand that might be made upon that h:
institution.
Brevard has been the subject of
much favorable comment, because of >r
the fact that this community contin-d<
ned business right on, with no hin-jW

ith a smashing attack which carried
lem over the goal line. Brevard fail
3 to make the extra point.
Neither team made any headway in

$10.80 WEEKLY FOR
INJURIES TO LIMB
| Opinion of Sweeping Nature

CADWAL1ADER MAY BE
FINED, IN ADDITION
Lewis P. Hamlin Represented
Williams at the Indus
trial Hearing
Raleigh, Nov. 26. ? E. D. Cadwal- i
lader and E. J. Belle, engaged in the
lumber business in Transylvania
county, were ordered to pay back
compensation to B. B. Williams,
amounting to about $120, to continue
payment of $10.80 a week as long as
Williams remains incapacitated, not
to exceed 400 weeks, to pay for such
medical treatment as Williams' con
dition requires, to pay all of the costs
of the compensation hearing, and a
later hearing will be held to deter
mine whether the lumber firm will be
fined for not complying with the pro
visions of the Workmen's Compen
sation law, in an opinion just filed by
Industrial Commissioner J. Dewey
Dorsett.
Commissioner Dorsett found that
Williams was injured by a falling
tree December 11, 1929 and is still
incapacitated, that he needs medical
attention to reduce the period of in- |
capacity, and that the lumber firm
had failed to reject or comply with i
the provisions of the compensation :
ict by providing insurance for the
six workmen employed on the date
of the injury. In addition to deter- '
mining whether or not the fine will be
imposed for non-compliance with act,
;he commission will see whether or 1
lot Williams has lost any of the '
functional use of his injured leg, at 1
;he later hearing. 1
That the Workmen's Compensation J
uaw covers all classes of employ- L
nent, where five or more men are em- ;
jloyed, is emphasized in the state- !
nent of the case and in the opinion I
landed down by J. Dewey Dorsett, of I
he Industrial Commission. It seems i'
hat Mr. Cadwallader had not ac- j1
:epted the Workmen's Compensation 1
)!an, nor had he rejected it, and be- jj
ause he failed to reject it, the opin- >
on of Mr. Dorsett is that he comes 1
fnder the operation of the law. The 1
:ase was heard by Mr. Dorsett on 1
)ctober 30, last. Lewis P. Hamlin i
epreBented Mr. Williams. Following '
s a statement of the case, together t

was dead. The men were brought in ?
Mr. King's car to Brevard, being .
;aken first to the Transylvania Hos- ,
Mtal where it was said that because .
