Mr.. Walton left his home In the inte-

I. SHRIER.

l am heartily in favor of a large
hotel, fitted with accommodations at
tractive TO tourists-such a hotel would
tend largely to the growth Of our city.
Wilmington can offer more to the
pleasure seeker than any place on the
coast, and | believe many Of our north
ern friends would be glad 20 make
this a halfway stopping place, provI-
ded they could be assured of accom-
modations.
The hotels now here are good, n
do their utmost to take care of the
stranger, but there is a good opportunl-
ty for a higher grade house, more ele-
gantly appointed and modernly on

In answer to the inquiry concerning
the new hotel, l wish to say that l
heartily endorse the movement and
will take stock in same.
The Importance Of a new hotel to
our fast growing city is generally
recognized fact both by our citizens
and those who visit our city. That VIII
mington has grown from a city or
10000 to $4,000 within the short, time
of about z years should be sufficient
evidence if nothing nor to encourage
this movement and show that it could
be made a financial success. Aside

My opinion is that our present hotel
facilities are inadequate and not in
keeping with the spirit of progress
shown in other lines of our develop

I believe such a hotel as is now con-
templated would do much TO build the
city, and thereby increase the holdings

1t is evident that Wilmington has
seached a point where for its future
growth and development greater hotel
facilities are needed, specially for tour
lists who would be glad to come to this
section to spend the winter if they
could be assured Of the comforts which
are offered to them in all of the first
class winter resorts of the south. 1t
is only necessary to consider the ad-
vantages which accrue TO Asheville,
Augusta, Savannah, Jacksonville n
other Florida cities to realize what
this would mean to Wilmington. [
trust, therefore, that the very pronoun-
ced public sentiment in favor Of a
large and modern hotel fer Whining
ton will quickly c~rystalize and result
in the hotel being assured st an early
date.
The undertaking should not only be
profitable as an investment but would
undoubtedly prove of great indirect
benefit to every merchant and real
estate owner in the city.
Yours truly,

The Messenger has recently devoted
considerable space to the hotel PROPOSE
ton that is now being considered by
the citizens of Wilmington, believing
that it is a matter that means a great
deal for the progressive development
of this city, which during the last few
years has taken on new signs of life,
The public interest tina is felt in the
matter was demonstrated by the large
ly attended meeting held at the cham
Der OF 63 fthe Importance of the project
is shown by the words of support and
endorsement that have come from
Wilmington.
The committee which was appointed
TO solicit subscriptions for the enter
prise will start out early during the
coming week I'M they will wage q
vigorous campaign among the mer-
chants and other citizens during this
week. 1t is earnestly hoped, as a mat
dcr or CIVIC enterprise, that they will
be given a cordial hearing and viii be
offered abundance Of support, which
will make the proposition a certai 1ty.
During the past two days expressions
have been obtained from q few of the
best known citizens, giving their ideas
as to the ~desirability of the new hotel.
It will be seen. that with one exception,
the opinion is unanimous that the en-
cerprise is not only a greatly needed
one, but also that it would be a paying
investment. Large numbers of bust
ness men have expressed their per-
sonal interest in the matter, AMI it
would seem that the hotel is assured.

notel movement, obtained yesterday,

QUALITIES OF WIT AND hUMoR.
Alike, Yet in Many Ways Fundament
ally Different.

Wit and humor are such elemental
fundamental things that it has always
been found difficult to analyze them,
says writer in The Atlantic. Upon
some points. however, those who have
essayed this puzzling task agree, for
they all hold that wit is an intel.
lectual, humor an emotional quality;
that wit is perception of resem-
blance, and humor a perception Of
contrast, of discrepancy, of incongru-
1ty. The fncongruity is that which
arises between the ideal and the fact,
between theory and practice, between
promise and performance; and per.
maps 1t might be added that it is al.
ways or almost always a moral IN
congruity. In the case both of wit
and humor there is also a pleasurable
surprise, gentle shock, which &C
companies our perception of the hith-
erto unsupported resemblance or in
congruity. A New England farmer
