THE DENNIsON HOUSE.

Lexington has another hotel. the
Dennison House, which we cannot vet
call "full-fledged" because there are
extensive improvements to be added
70 the establishment. Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Dennison have charge and
Mrs. Dennison will be the active
manager, while her husband retains
his position as engineer on the N. c.
The house 1.-THE former Hearn
House, is being overhauled, refur-
nished and in every way equipped to
do business that will satisfy its pat
rons. Just so far as possible and to
the comfort and satisfaction of the
guests, the Dennison House will do q
general hotel business while the i'm
provements are going on. We take
pride in saying that a hotel so nam
ed will not fail to give its patrons
good value for their money.

ELIHU ROOT.

Few men have had longer or more
distinguished careers in American
public life than Elihu Root, who on
Sunday, Feby 18th reached the sew
enty-fifth milestone on his journey
through life. Both as a private cit
izen and as public official he has
performed labors which have secure
ly established his claim to the graft
tude of the American people. AS Sec
rotary of war in the Mckinley cabi-
net he trained Cuba for self govern
ment, helped to pacify the Philippines
and instituted civil government in
both islands. As secretary of state
under President Roosevelt he brought
about satisfactory settlement of
long standing disputes between Cana
da and the United States and did
much to cement the friendship with
the Latln-Amerlcan republics. In the
United States Senate he was one Of
the ablest leaders on the Republican
side. His legal ability was recogniz-
ed by his appointment as United
States counsel on several information
al tribunals, and in 1912 he was
awarded the Noble peace prize in
recognition of his great services in
the cause Of world peace.-Nashville

end such a career by being counsel

 The first arrests of the Irish pick eters were not unaccompanied by elements of hunor. The po1icec ap- tain who took them in was Robert Emmett DoyeL rosy-cheeked and blue-eyed, who couldn't possibly deny he was a son of Erin. All the police men on the job were O'ConnelPs and Regans and Flahertys or bore names unmfstakably neither Greek nor Yiddish. Their comments on the pro- ceedfng were neutral and humorous.
 The whole proceeding was con- ducted in the height of courtesy and polite formality. There was no ''come along, you're ptnched," In stead, Captain Doyle raised his cap, and with an engaging smile said; Ladies, these are policewomen who will place you under arrest.'' Then the men stepped back and the women did the job.

BUILDERS FEAR
 LABOR TROUBLE

New York. April 17-Visions of an abnormal building construction year are being eclipsed by the dark sphere of a labor panic, accord ing to the Dow Service Daily Build ing Reports. Stalwart leaders in the building industry already admit a probable shortage in actual build1ns
 construction work in New York this year. to 30 per cent for the total Of 1916 The reasons given for this opinion center upon the labor panic that has seized upon the prospective
 builder of this year, building su b. contractor and the building material manufacturer. Architects whose ex- perience during the war convinced them that politicians can usually be
 depended upon to transform an in
 dustrial situation into a hopeless
 muddle by their well intended inter
 ference point to the spectacle in Al
 bany last week with the remark that
 "there goes TO per cent of this years

 reserves. These reserves total about i 1So, o,0o0,0o0 brick approximately four

 ice barrier in the Hudson River means a drop in the price of com mon brick; but instead of there being a deluge Of brick here the local sup ply may not be changed at all. Here is where the labor panic comes in. ! The brick1ayers are on strike. Hardly any brick is being laid. To send this brick dcwn the river without a mar l ket for it means cost to the owner i of SIP day at dock, in addition to l the usual maritime risks surrounding 1 boats in harbor, not to mention a SIS ! charge by the towing company every i time a line is put over the boat.
 i It costs nothing to keep the loa ded i brick barges at the brickyard docks up the river, and the manufacturer ! therefore saves this cost by not rush 1 ing his brick into the market when 1 he has no means of knowing what | the demand for his product will be.
