Special to The (ieergien.
Asheville,' X. Dec. II.—Judge Al
len, of the superior court, haa ordered
that the handsome new hotel erected
by the Smith estate at a cost of $250,
000. must be sold before the February
term of court, at which time the court
will pass on Its acceptance or rejec
tion. He further ordered that the sell
ing price mu«t be sufficient to cover
the amount already expended by the
estate.
From statements by Interested par
ties It seems thnt In order to clear all
Indebtednesa and to recover the
amount already expended, a bid of
$92,000 will lie necessary to purchaae
the property. ,
Work waa suspended 30 days ago
when the trustees of the estate found
that lie had exhausted all cash In

the real estate owned by the Smith
heirs.

An announcement from Washington
to the effect that young Tate would be

caused more or less surprise Thursday
morning among the Federal officials.
Considerable speculation was Indulged
In a* to what changes would take place
when young Tine assumed his new
duties.
The district attorney's office now
lias two assistants, the offices being
held by J. W. Henley, who camo In
when Carter Tate waa appointed dis
trict attorney at the beginning of the
present year, and K. A. Angler, former
ly district attorney. Mr. Angler said
Thursday morning that he knew noth
ing of any changes In that office be
yond the newapaper reports. District
Attorney Tate Is In Washington and i
nothing definite will be known until his I
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 are
made by the district attorney and the
appointments confirmed by the attorney

The Hliiger Hewing Machine Company’s
building now In eoursc of construction nt
Broadway and Liberty afreet, New York,
will, when completed, bo the highest atruC'
turn ever creeled by man for office or busi
ness purpose*.
The tower, 63 feet square, will rise 612
feet above the s I reel level. It will be G
feet taller than the Tower of Babel, 63
feet higher than the Philadelphia city hall,
S feet higher than the spires of the Cologne
cathedral, and will contain forty-one stories.
The height of the main building from cellar
to roof will Ik* IBS feet.

The erection of a tower of such enor
