There is a night watchman, too. The hotel was' occupied last year for the first tim and some of tWe uncompleted portions were finished during the win ter season. This season began aus pfeiomsly with large patronage last weefcUnd a number of conferences just; ahead which would have filled t mans times with desirable and well paying guests. The Inn and furnish ings cost considerably more than $160,000 and was owned by a corpor ation mostly stockholders of the Southern Assembly Co., but was a separate organization. Among the stockholders were Col. John R. Pep per, of Memphis, and the Iveys and Coles, of Charlotte. besides some Waynesville holders of stock. There was $76,000 of insurance on the building and furnishings. Some of the furniture on the first floor was saved The hotel will likely be re built but too late for this seasons UB9 . . a-I Those who contemplate , . . , , i..i, tki. dimmer need not hesitate for there are a number of other hotels and board.ng houses there to accommodate them besides many at Waynesville and in the sur rounding country. The Inn was a beautiful structure ,ad its loss is a calamity, especially coming so soon after the EagleVNest fire A telegram from one of the largest stockholders says he is strongly in favor of 'immediately replacing the handsome building which is so neces Kary to the Southern Assembly.

The draw ing of numbers to determine the order in which the youths of the class of 1918 will be called into military sen ice was conducted here today with much the same ceremony which narked the same drawing of a year go- ' . . This time, however, it was a much smaller affair, and In view of the fact that the classification system more nearly determines the order of service than does the actual numerical order, it was not surrounded with such dra matic interest. The drawing was held in the great conference room of the Senate office building, with Secretary Baker blind folded, taking the first gelatine cap sule with number enclosed, from the glass bowl. It was number 246. Number 1168 and 818 were the second and third respectively, and thus the drawing continued to the end. The calling of the numbers as the capsules were opened, and the paper slips inside were read, went on mo notonously until the thousandth cap sule had been drawn. The first thou sand filled one of the blackboards, and officials in charge called time while the board was being changed, and the workers rested. Draft No. 1 came out in the 664th rru. j.;n . tVio numbers " r " took less than three hours. The "master numbers" drawn apr ply .to the numbers on the registra tion cards of the registrants. In the drawing of a year ago serial numbers were assigned, but this was deemed unnecessary in the present drawing because of the fewer registrants and of less importance attached to the or der in which numbers were drawn. Below we give the lottery numbers first, followed by the draft numbers of the local board. These men will be examined and passed on in the or der in which this list is printed.' 1 10 McDonnell Haley, Canton. 2 29 Wayne McElroy, Clyde, R. 3i7Jas.

C, will present its "Wake Up! America" program in Waynesville, expecting to send the speakers uid entertainers listed on the small fold-' ers which are being circulated aver the town. This program is patriotic in every respect, and comes to us with, the approval of the government offi- cials at the head of the many depart ments at Washington. Mr. Radcliffe,, who is at the head of this Chautau qua system, is in close touch with tha governmental pulse, and has built a ,: program which is sent out in order to , help destroy whatever pro-German feeling there may be still lurking , in various parts of the country. The program which has been -booked for ua is one which has ap peared in quite a number of towns since the first of the year, and it has -been of great value to these com munities. Many of them have been in settlements where the pro-German elements exist, and this nroeram has done a great deal of good in crushing , it. We are, therefore, glad to wel come this nroeram here because it will bring us some new facts in con nection with the winning of the war, and will stimulate us to greater activ ity along all lines of patriotic en deavor. ' Increase in Cheese Industry The cheese industry of Western North Carolina will be 20 times great er in 1918 than in 1915, when the first three cheese factories were estab lished. In 1915 three cheese factories were established by the dairy field office of the Agricultural Extension Service, one being in Watauga county and two in Ashe county. Durimrthis calendar year 20,000 pounds of cheese was pro duced. In 1916 three more factories were added to Watauga county, making a total of six factories in all, with an actual output of 73,300 pounds, which was more than three. times the out put of 1915. ' In the year 1917 ten more factories were established, making a total of 16 , these produced 214,000 pounds of cheese, doubling the record of the previous year. Before the end of the present calendar year at least 25 factories will be in operation, and I (mm eatimatps secured from the j cheese factory operators by Messrs. F. R. Farnham and D. K. Noland, it is exoected' that the total output of cheese this year will amount to 411,- 000 pounds, which is an addition oi nine more factories and around 20 times as much cheese.
