Aiken's Reputation as a Sanitar.
Resort--in0tlfer Hotel Wanted.

A Northern gentleman, while in
, or cAice the other day, stated that
in his opinion there was room ~
Aiken Tor several hotels as large as
the Highland Park, and that Froba-
Lly the next one built would be ar.
;; ranged to accommodate one thousand
guests. We were glad to hear him
speak so enthusiastically oil cur eli
mate, of our town Il! Il the kindness
and hospitality Of cur l.eoi'le, and
glad 10 hear Aiken's future prospects
pictured in such glowing colors.
1t is true that good climate, free
from malarial Influences and sufii-
GENTLY dry and -.bracing to restore
health to the enfeebled invalid, is an
absolute essential, but yet it ls an un-
questionable fact that. the hotel &C.
commodation of a health resort is
such an important factor in its pros
perity, that any attempt to increase
what we now have should be eucour.
aged in every way possible. The
more hotels we. have the more peo-
pie viii ,me here. What we want
is first class hotel, capable OF accom-
modating at least FIVE hundred guests
in enmptuous style, with a f.st class
man at its head.
Our northern friend stated that
there would not be the slightest diff
ficu!ty in raising the necessary cap''
tai. He predicted, however, that
less than live years would elapse be-
fore important additions wonld be
made to the hotel accommodations Of
Aiken.
The reputation Of Aiken as ma
tional sanitary resort is annually Oh
the increase. Its superiority oyer
Florida is SCI, evident from the fact
taat many Of those who leave here III
a ccnvalescent condition, return de-
bilitated from malarial. fever. The
hotel accommodations Of Florida are
ample and OF the most sumptuons or

And then, united, We shall love again.
