Good News

AS a result of the movement which
was inaugurated here few weeks
ago by some local business men with
a view to providing Kingstree with
a modern hotel, plans have been
drawn and submitted and a large
block of the necessary stock SUBJ
scribed and application made to the
secretary of state for a charter.
The plans submitted provide for a
splendid brick structure with forty
odd guest rooms, dining rooms, par
lors, baths, toilets, and everything
that goes to make up a first class
modern hostelry.
The proposed site for the new hotel
is on the south side of west Main

N. Hammet. 1t is calculated that the
structure complete will cost about
$4,000.
