H. and John Ewbank; Mr. Clhilds will " commence immediately the construction of a modern dwell ing, it is stated, where he will reside during the summer and possibly all year.' ' " Mr. Childs expects to' develop a small hydro-electric plant, water sys tem,' etc, and will In all likelihood sub-divide the property and offer same for sale under a colony plan; He is a' man of wide experience in the development business, and is, very much taken with this country. It is more than' probable that he will in terest many of his friends to bufld summer homes on diffenift portions of the property after hf has develop ed the whole in such a manner as ap peals to him as fitting, Among some things mentioned is a golf , course.

May Have To I Launch Big Ship Building Program Mut Build Mora Shin or Broaden Treaty Entered Into at Washington Conferenie The country was surprised when it was announced upon the reading at the House Appropriation Bill that we would either have to launch upon another ship building programme or secure an agreement for a limitation of the construction of the heavy cruiser and light' cruiser class of boats together with that of the sub marines.' Inasmuch as France has never ac cepted the, treaty 'of the Washington eoax'eretiee &&$1&i&r&ti& likely that such an agreement could be secured from the other , powers, and since it ia learned that Great Bri tain is increasing the range, and pro tecting her 9hipsr.witlLdeck armour, and a general building of , cruisers and submarines by other powers, it is contended that it will be absolutely necessary for us to ktep the pace un less some agreement can.be reached, and since it is admitted that such an agreement cannot be accomplished it seems likely that all we have secured or thought we. had secured by way of a limitation of armaments under the Washington conference will turn out to be nothing more than a shift ing .from the battleship class to the lighter craft with longer range guns, fend the race for naval supremacy will continue until the next war. It is stated that President Harding has been asked to renew negotiations in order that this may be avoided, but no statement of such a step has beeri so far announced and the country faces the. actual condition of being on the verge of large expenditures for the navy. ' It is contended' that under the present world upheaval and demorali zation and uncertainty it would be Ijolly lor us to tail to prepare our selves for self protection, or starid idly by and watch the other nations prepare and outclass us in the in struments of war. What the net result of the. limita tion agreement will be seems to be very much in doubt just now. Schools Will Close . : Tuesday.

Those who expected the big Woodman of the World Sani torium to be located in Hender sonville and who went to con siderable expense and trouble in showing the - big committee from Omaha' Neb., over this ' section, will be disappointed to learn that the plant ia to be located at San Angelo, Tex. The Texas city donated $100,000 in land value' and . this probably accounted for the selection of that eity as the site for the big proposition. The Woodmen had a large committee out looking ever the country and they visited sev eral towns ia this section and Virginia besides New York towns. It was announced that this is , to be one of three such sani toriums, in which case it is pos sible that North Carolina will yet witness the erection of one . within her limits. Barn of Buncombe Co. Sheriff fF Burns Last Saturday at Etowah Etowah, this county, was visited by a fire early Saturday morning when the big barn of Sheriff Lyerly, of Buncombe County, was burned to the ground, with complete loss of forage. corn, tools and farm equipment, be sides cattle ftnd stock. The cause of the fire is supposed to be a bunch of ' drunk men sleeping in the barn over night and setting it on fire by steok.?iiJ. ,v Early Saturday blood riounds from Asheville were brought over but up on their arrival it was found that it had rained too much for them to pick up any scent and so far nothing has been learned of the supposed "fire starters". The property on which the barn is located is known as the Stone place and is quite familiar to many people of the county. Mr. Morgan, a near neighbor, discovered the fire and no tified the tenant on the place who was still in bed at the time, but it waa too late to save the barn or contents,, except that some seven of the ani mals were gotten out, the balance perishing' in the flames.
