ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVI FOREST FIRES ARE AGAIN THREATS IN WESTERN CAROLINA More Than 100 Men From 'Brevard District Fight ing Fire Near Pisgah National Forest. LACK OFRAINS IS KEENLY FELT Entire Mountain Section Dry and Open to Dan gerous Fires.—S mall Fires Reported. Asheville, June 11.— r. T. N. Spencer, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and secretary of the Cabarrus Fair Association, was master of (ceremonies nt the dinner. The first speaker was L. T. Hartsell. Sr., one of the first men in the city to vision a new hotel and one of the attorneys for the holding company. “Community Enterprise” was Mr. Hartsell's subject and he said t'aat after the church and the school the spirit that resulted in the erection of tic new hostelry is the greatest of community enterprises. Mr. Hart sell took occasion -to praise the food offered at the dinner, declaring the stenk was the best he ’had eaten since he left No. 10 township, where he was born and reared. Tile man or woman who works for I his or her city in such manner as to produce new hotels or other needed I things was likened unto the Good Sa- i maritan by D. B. Coltrane, who spoke on "Our Neighbors.” The genuine neighbor, Mr. Co’.trane said, does not gauge his life on the dollar and cent standard. “He it is who strive to serve, not for his own advancement, but for the benefit and good of his neighbor,” the speaker said. G. L. Patterson, president of the | holding company, the Concord Realty Company, presented the hotel to the stockholders, giving briefly some of the history of the undertaking and de claring in conclusion that while he had devoted hours of time and much energy to the work, without pay, he had been amply rewarded by the many expressions of commendation heard during the day. On behalf of-the operating company Colonel William Foor, president of the William Foor Hotel Operating Corporation, accepted the building. Concord has wrought well in the build ing of such a structure. Colonel Foor said, and he expressed the belief that the project will prove successful if the people will demonstrate in the future the same interest they did when they went into their pockets and pro duced money for I tie building. “Pa tronize the hotel," Colonel Foor said, “for it is your hotel and its future depends in a large measure on your attitude toward it.” C. Ross Wenrick, manager, was in troduced by O. W. Donnell, general manager of ail hotels in the Foor chain. Mr, Wenrick graciously ex pressed appreciation for the fine hos pitality shown to him and his wife during their stay here and invited ail to make of the hotel their meeting place. Following the dinner the first dance in the beautiful ballroom, which prom ises to be the scene of many elabo rate social events, was held, music being furnished by the orchestra from the Washington Duke Hotel which de lighted the crowds during ttie after noon and dinner. Every department of the hotel was inspected by the hundreds of persons who called during the doers were thrown open to the pub lic at 2 o'clock and for the next three hours there was a steady stream of humanity passing into Hie building Persons in the structure for the first time were loud in their praise of the arrangement and furnishings of the building, while these who had inspected the building previously found renewed interest in the handsome sur roundings. , Rooms on two floors were visited by the guests, these being sufficient to give a good idea of the general ar rangement and furnishings in the bed rooms. Many expressions of praise were heard for the beautiful bed spreads which were made by the Hart sell Mills Company and which are used on every bed in the building. More than thirty persons registered at the hotel Thursday and Thursday night and they found much interest 1 and pleasure in watching the home folks celebrate tbe opening of theii t —— - -■■■ .. j modern hostelry. Some of the guests’; were invited into the dining hull dur ing the dinner. I Visitors to the building have been ! f especially struck witli the beautiful! | anil serviceable furniture which is, j found throughout the building, core- ] fill thought having been given to this j feature when plans for the hostelry ! were made. j From the arcade entrance on i I through ihe lobby, dining hall, inezza-J j nine, ballroom and up through the five stories of bedrooms the furnis'.i ings of the Hotel Concord arc the; best and handsomest that money can j buy. All furniture is in basic wni-! nut with here and there as in the j ballroom, gold finish is employed to properly harmonize with the surround-1 ings. In the lobby the usually lobby fur niture is found. This consists of | deeply upholstered Clairs and wide j lounges, walnut tables in varying j sizes and designs, and tastefully nr-j ranged floor lamps. The uphoHtclry ; is in varied colors and is of the finest 5 mohair and ' needle-point . patterns. The mezzanine Jioor furniture is of largely the same rich pattern and de sign ns that In the lobby proper, ex cept that tile carpet covers the en tire floor instead of appearing in large druggets. The dining room is finished in fawn and old ivory with the ceiling and upper portions of pie walls in high lighted relief, making a room of much beauty. Tile 100 bedrooms in the hotel are tastefully finished and furnished. The rooms for the most part have modern wooden beds of attractive design, all in walnut. The iron boils have a walnut finish. Easy chairs, dressers, vanities and flanging mirrors make ii)i the major portion of the rooms' furniture. The rooms are arranged singly and en suite, so that guests singly or by party may be taken care of in the most approved fashion. The menu for the dinner was one of variety and showed that the hotel, has a steward and chef that rank with tile best. Especially attractive were tfie designs in which the ice cream was served. Various flowers and fruit were represented by the moulded cream. —— i TO TEACH COURSE IN COTTON GRADTNG North Carolina Man Sent to Gaines ville. Ga.. For This Purpose. Raleigh.

MUMS WITHOUT SETTLING CRISIS Brazil and Spain Do Not Want to Sit In Council Unless They Are Given Permanent Seats. PEACE PLAN HAS BEEN SUGGESTED! While Council Is In Ad- j! journment Plan Will Be Sought to Relieve Pres- i ent Tenseness. Geneva, June 11. —( A >) —The June meeting of the council of the League of Nations has adjourned, with the crisis surrounding the demand of Kra- ■ zil and Spain for permanent seats in the council still acute. Brazil lias eendered her resignation as a member of the council in which she holds a non-permanent seat Spain has declined again to accept a similar seat, her representative in Geneva contending t’aat such atteept anee would put Spain in the classifi cation of a secondary power. Bra zil's resignation was not accepted by the council which contended that the assembly of the league was the body a'.one empowered to act upon it. The leaders of the league hope that prior to the conventing of the next session of the council in September both Spain and Brazil can be turned from their present viewpoints. It is thought that the diplomatic efforts which will be concentrated to induce the two countries not to take a step which Sir Austen Chamberlain characterized as irrevocable would of fer promises to support both of them for continuous re-election as tempo- I rary members by which they would become virtually permanent members. | Jn league circles Brazil's position iis interpreted as meaning that she de j sires to withdraw from the council iin order not to have to vote tfie elec | tion of Germany as a permanent mem* j ber of the council. A statement I made, by I)r. Mello Franco, Brazil’s i representative, that his country would make a definite and final report to the council's re-organization commit-1 | tee is considered as carrying the pos sible intimation that Brazil may with- j 'dYaV Tl’onT the lea git e unless she ob-' , tains a permanent seat.

London. .June 11.— (A 3 ) —The Brit-J ish government has sent.a sharp note! to Moscow protesting nga : nst the en deavors of the soviet ro send money to j Great Britain during the recent gen- : era] strike. The note sets forth the ! belief that this money was intended to foster a movement to bring about a change of government in Great Brit ain. The note declares that definite proof now is in .the hands of the British government that a share of the money offered the trades union con- j gress from Moscow during the gen eral str : ke came from the soviet gov ernment itself. This action, the note states, is regarded as unjustifiable in terference in the internal affairs of the country, and a violation of the Angh>- itussian trade agreement. A second note dealing with the j money the soviet is sending to the British miners federation is being con sidered by the cabinet and will prob ably be forwarded to Moscow soon. The British Government in this case also contends that part of the money is contributed by the soviet govern ment. and not as claimed by the Rus sian miners.
