Mr.. Lee Paschal. representing him.
self and Mr.. j. r. Paschal, Of Rich
mond, Va, accompanied by their
attorney. Mr.. Mullins, arrived in
the city this morning and hav-
ing concluded the final arrange
ments for the beginning Of
work on the new hotel, which they
are to erect on the Wilson lot, cor
ner Of Main and Bart,ette streets, left
on the Southern train at 2 o'clock for
Richmond. Mr.. Paschal came to close
the option which he obtained on the
lot about two weeks ago, and all the
papers being in readiness the deed
was passed and the purchase price.
$4,000, was paid over to the rep
resentatives of Mr.. Thomas Wilson.
This completed the preliminary ar
rangements. and work will be started
on the hotel as soon as material can
he placed on the ground, plans hav-
Ing been prepared by Mr.. Charles NJ
Robinson. the we'll known architect Of
Richmond. Va, and accepted by the
parties interested. The contract for
the building has been awarded to the
Wise Granite Co., which Is now en-
gagged in erecting a handsome build
ing for the Bank Of Bishopville, and
1t is expected that work will be start
ed on the hotel within ten days The
construction will be pushed as rapidly
as possible, as 1t Is planned to have
the hotel completed and ready for
business before December 1st.
The building which will be four
stories in height will contain seventy
seven bed rooms, with a bath room to
every third room and will cost more
than $4,000. The first floor will be
given up to office. lobby. dining rooms,
kitchen, pantries, barber shop and
sample rooms. The second, third
and fourth floors will contain the bed
rooms. 1t will be lighted throughout
with electricity and gas, will be steam
heated and will have hot and cold
water in every room. 1t will be pro-
vided with an electric elevator and
every other convenience that will con-
duce te the comfort and convenience
OF the guests. The building is so
planned that every bed room will
have an outside exposure, giving ideal
conditions as respects light and VEN
tilatipa and every room will be de.
sirab', and comfortable.
The dimensions OF the building
are: Eighty feet in width by one
hundred and twenty-three feet in
length. facing on Bartlette street, with
entrances on both Bartlette and Nain
1t will be built Of pressed bricx
granite and ordinary face brick, with
led tile gable roof. The first story
will be Of pressed brick. with granite
base and trimmings, the three up
per stories Of selected brick, with
stone trimmings. The interior finish
Will be artistic and attractive, the
lobby and halls being laid with ter
razo floors. while the dining rooms,
OF which there will be two. will have
polished oak floors. The furniture
and fixtures Of the hotel will be in
keeping with the building and it is
safe to say that Sumter will have one
or tn, most complete and modern
hotels In the State. Sumter's great
est reproach-the lack of adequate
hotel accommodations-is now in a
fair way to be removed in the near
future, and general congratulations
are in order.

ARE MICROBES IN YOUR SCALP?
Il Has Been Proved That Microbes
Cause Badness.

Cause Badness.
Professor Unna Of Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand, the leading
French dermatologist, discovered that
microbe causes badness. Their
theory has time and again been amply
verified through research experiments
carried on under the observation OF
eminent scientists. This mlcrobe
lodges in the Sebum, which is the nat
ural hair oil, and when permitted to
flourish it destroys the hair folficles
and in time the pores entirely close,
and the scalp gradually takes on
shiny appearance When this happens
there is no hope Of the growth Of hair
being revived.
We have remedy which will, we
honestly believe. remove dardruf, eX-
terminate the microbe, promote good
circulation in the scalp and around the
hair roots, tighten and revitalize the
hair roots, and overcome badness, so
long as there is any life left in the hair
roots.
