Special to The Georgian.
Asheville, N. C„ Dec. 13.—Judge Al
len. of the superior court, has ordered
that the handsome new hotel erected
by the Smith estate at a cost of $2S0,-
000. must he sold before the February
term of court, at which time the court
will jiass on Its acceptance or rejec
tion. He further ordered that the sell
ing price must be eufficlent to cover
llie amount already expended by the
estate.
From statements by Interested par
ties It seems that In ordei to clear all
Indebtedness and to recover the
amount nlrcady expended, a bid of
$93,000 will lie necessary to purchase
the property.
Work waa suspended 30 days ago
when the trustees of the estate found
that he had exhausted all rssh In
hand anil was unable to raise money on
the real estate owned by the Smith
heirs.
Whether the department of justice
In Atlanta will boast three assistants to
the United States district attorney or
one of the two now in offlcc will be
dropped to make room for Howard
Tate, son of F. Carter Tate, dlatrtct at
torney, Is the tople of discussion among
the offlrlals at the custom house.
An announcement from Washington
to the effect, that young Tate would he
appointed assletant district attorney at
Atlanta, with offices with Ills father,
caused more or less surprise Thursday
morning among the Federal officials.
Considerable speculation was indulged
In as to wltat changes would tnkc place
when young Tate assumed Ills new
duties.
The district attorney'll ontre now
has two assistants, the offices being
held by J. W. Henley, who earn© In
when Carter Tate was appointed dis
trict attorney at the beginning of the
present year, and E. A. Angler, former
ly district attorney. Mr. Angler anid
Thursday morning that he knew noth
ing of any changes In that office be
yond the newspaper reports. District
Attorney Tate Is in Washington and ■
nothing definite will be known until his •
return to Atlanta.
A dispatch from Washington states
that the clerk to the attorney general
knows nothing of the appointment of
Howard Tate. These nominations nre
made by the district attorney nnd the
appointments confirmed by the attorney
general.
