THE NEW HOTEL.
The Plank system wants to Build
and Lease 1t.

Work on the big hotel of the Asheville
park and hotel company will begin soon
The annual meeting of the directors of
the company was held in Superintend-
ent McBee's Office yesterday afternoon.
The old officers of the company were
reelected as follows:
President-V Z. McBee.
Vice-President and general manager
S. Westray Battle.
Treasurer-D. Z. Waddell.
Secretary-T. c. McNeely.
The directors arc-V. E McBce, s..
Westrav Battle, A. B. Andrews, J. G..
Martin, c. D. Blanton, Vim. M. Haz-
zard, W. B. Gwyn, M. j. Fagg, A. J. Ly-
man, W. T. Penniman.
The meeting considered several propo-
sitions from prominent contractors for
the erection of the hotel, among them
one from John o. Plank, of the John O..
Plank hotel system company, ofC Chicago.
Mr.. Plank left Ashcville Sunday, after
spending several days here. His propo-
sition is in substance that his concern
will build the hotel and then lease it from
the hotel company, will pay the interest
on the bonded Indebtedness of the COM
pany, guaranteed by cash deposit in
the National bank of Asheville, and give
the company liberal percentage of the
profits of the hotel after it is opened.
Mr.. Plank's proposition was more
favorably considered than those of the
other parties.
A small amount OF the stock of the
hotel company remains yet to be taken,
and as soon as this has been done, one OF
the propositions submitted will be decided
on, and active work will be begun, and
the big hotel pushed to speedy compile
tion. Mr.. Plank's proposal will in all
probability be accepted.
Mr.. Plank's system is one of the largest
companies in the country. 1t now has
contract for the erection OF 100000
hotel at Panacca Springs, this state, and
is also establishing bank at Litteton,
NC.
1t is thought that within two or three
weeks everything will be definitely ar.
ranged and the magnificent hotel propos.
ed by the company will be begun.

had lost both legs and been crippled in
one arm by being crushed under train,
and he taught t e animal to do all the
signaling and Oh Eging of tracks. The
ape was Of about lie same size as an-ay-
erage ten-year-old boy, and Mr.. j. III.
Thornton, experimenting engineer of the
railway, gives this account of it:
There are six levers, actuating sig
mails which control trains proceeding in
four different directions The signalman
had trained this animal so well that it
knew which lever to pull over when it
heard the sound of the whistle Of the en-
CINE of an approaching train. The ape
sometimes made mistakes, but believe
out of pure mischief, to aggravate its
master, who for each offense admins
tered severe castigation. There is no
doubt that he governed this beast with a
rod Of iron, and taught it to obey him
more from fear than from love or attach
ment. cannot say that it ever took
kindly to its perfunctory duties, as it
would frequently give its master thesiip
and scamper gaily over the Veldt, drag
ging heavy chain which was attached
to its neck, and frightening all the chill
dren in the neighborhood until captured
and restored to its owner"
Unfortunately the higher education af-
fected this ape, as, according to accounts,
it does most OF the Hottentots subjected
to it. 1t weakened, became consunp-
tive, and died under its mathematical
and engineering regime.

It's chief claim to glory, however, lies
In the fact that In it Patrick Henry made
that famous ''Give me liberty or give
me death" speech, and that it has sur
vived all the fires of three subsequent
wars, and those calamities Richmond
has suffered in times of peace. There
was first the great fire kindled by Bene-
dict Arnold's men, then the fire of 1856,
two memorable fires early in this CEN
fury, and finally the disasters of evacua-
ton day; yet the old church, standing
somewhat apart and with a fringe of
grass and shrubbery, escaped and is in a
fair state of preservation.
There is a good deal of confusion in
the average mind as to that speech of
Patrick Henry's; in fact, he made two,
which have got mixed to some people.
The first was in 1865, in the old hall of
the house of burgesses in Williamsburg,
when the stamp act was under discus
sion, and at that early day the bare sug-
gestion Of armed resistance raised the
cry Of Treason! Treasonl" But Pat
rick Henry, Thomas Jefferson and few
others knew that it must come to that
and worked steadily to that end. Ten
years later the Virginia convention was
in session in this old edifce, ST. Johns
church, and there Patrick Henry moved
that ''the colony be put in a state of de-
Tense" and precipitated the famous de-
bate.
In 1773 Patrick Henry made his re-
markable prophecy that there would be
war; that as soon as France was con-
cinced that reconciliation was impos-
sible she would aid the colonies; that
Spain and Holland would follow, and
then, he added, 1--WE shall establish our
independence and take our stand among
the nations Of the earth" Every word
of it was literally fulfilled. 1t was in
March, 1915, but a month before the war
began, that he closed the debate on put
ting the colony in state of defense with
the memorable words: 1.-The next gale
that sweeps from the north may bring
to our ears the clash of resounding arms.

High Price for a PuS's Liberty.

The pug dog is not very handsome
animal, but it has prominent place IN
many households, and is the object of
rather extravagant affection. 1t is for
this reason that Mrs. 7. s. Guy, Of Far
Rockaway, is in trouble. She lost her
pet pug recently and visited the pound
to see if he was there. Several dogs
were yelping inside the inclosure, but no
one about the place appeared to know
anything about the pound, so Mrs. Guy
opened the door herself and boldly en-
tered. Her dog came bounding toward
her.
She caught him up and started for her
home. In her JOY she forgot to close the
door of the pound, and before she had
gone half block every dog in the place
had escaped
On learning Of the escape Of the dogs
the dog catcher notified the village su-
thorihes and an investigation was or
de7ed. 1t is now said that Mrs Guy
will be compelled to pay 81 or more for
each dog liberated.
