The Wonderful Transformation at Chick Springs ' Below is a Cut of the Beautiful New Hote! Now Nearing Completion. I One of nature's most wonderful curative wa ters bottled in a modern sanitary plant. Deep down in tiie heart of nearly every one, who has read the an nouncement of the wonderful development at Chick Springs, there has heen a feeling of approval and gladness There are thousands throughout the central states of the south that do, and ever felt that the wonderful resources of this property should be developed in a broad, comprehensive way. In the old days before the war, when the south was in the.glory of aristocratic luxury, when the stately man tons and broad plantations rang with gaiety and laughter and no thought of the approaching conflict threw its cloud over the hearts of thc people, Chick Springs was the favorite watering place of all this section. In their stately equipages and their retinues of servants, the best families throughout this and adjoining states gathered here to spend their summers in enjoyment of the delightful climate, and with music and dancing, feasting and frolic, while away the hours of free dom from business cares, and grow strong and hearty with the help of the all-healing water The "News and Courier" said under date-of February 1st, "Chick Spring^ a resort well known in ante-bellum days will soon come back into, its own" The Columbia State said under the same date, '.'A development which is^welcomed in this state is the plan to revive and conduct upon a broad-scale the Chick Springs re sort." ? , . A MODERN HOTEL IN EVERY DETAIL. In the designing of this hotel every facility for convenience, com fort and safety was incorporated.. The hotel is "equipped throughout with the "Grinnell Sprinkler System," which makes it practically fire proof-telephone in every room with long distance connection-run ning water, both hot and cold, in every room. Most all rooms have bath connection. ? The first floor houses lobby, parlors, card and smoking rooms, pool ro?*ms and private and main dining rooms, with elevator service to the roof garden. The second floor has a fine auditorium and ball roofri with a stage. All front rooms on this floor are en suite: All bed rooms are outside rooms. The third floor is taken up with bedrooms. Both wings have stairways, with a grand starway in the center. The lobby has a mezzanine floor, where the orchestra serves dining room and lobby. A tiled terrace on~each side of the dining room, which Nestling at the foot of the Blue Ridge Hills in the famous Piedmont section of the Carolinas. 1200 feet elevation. .has glass walls that may. be folded, allowing guests to dine on terraces. This hotel will be open to thc public on or about June 25th. FIRST HOTEL ESTABLISHED IN 1846. The first hotel was built at Chick Springs in 1816, and since that time the Springs have enjoyed the patronage of the best people of the Carolinas. lt is the intention of the management to make the ser vice of this hotel the best possible, special attention being given to the cuisine, and the comfort of guests. A fine orchestra will be a feature, and every effort has been made to fully equip the hotel, to furnish it attractively and to make it a most comfortable and homelike resort, tor relined and cultured people. The former hotel has been retained as an annex and the two have a capacity of 35o. Guests will here meet congenial people amid the right surroundings. The Curative Power? of the Water-Sixty Years ' of Repu tatton. For more than sixty years the health-giving qualities of the water of Chick Spring; has been established. The analysis and the exper iences of literacy thousands have shown that this water in attacks of f indigestion, in fad in all trdubles of the alimentary tract and the or gans of elimination, has been followed by more than satisfactory re sults. Invalids have regaified their strength; the acutely ill have speedily recovered, and in many cases, the chronically sick have gone ,forth from this spring in the full vigor of restored health, while all have been benefitted. This ls not a sanitarium, but for the run-down man or ven?an who desires to renew health among pleasant associa tions and in comfortable quarters, there Is no superior place in America. The water used in this hotel.is, from the famous Chick Spring., It is a delightfully light mineral water, one that is pleasant to drink, lt has rightfully been said, "Drihk Chick Springs water and eat anything 3ou want." * -. _ - OUTSIDE AMUSEMENTS. Outside amusements will consist of Golf, Tennis, Bowling, Rowing, Bathing, Dancing, Driving, Motoring, etc. Of course dancing will be one of the chief pleasures. Music furnished by one of the best or chestras in the south, Mr. Marry P. Sutton, leader. The orchestra will consist of live pieces and supplemented for Sunday afternoon con certs, which will be given every Sunday in the spring park. Unmatchable Transportation Facilities. We make the statement without fear of contradiction that there is not another mineral spring resort south of "Mason and Dixon Une" that has the transportation facilities that Chick Spring has. It is sit uated on the new Piedmont Northern Electric Line, with eighteen daily trains, nine north and nine south, and just a short distance, say ten ciy blocks from Taylors on the main trunk line of Southern Rali way from New York to Atlanta, Birmingham and New Orleans. lt is also on the National Automobile Highway from New York to Atlanta. lt is undoubtedly the most accessible resort in the south. Passengers from the west or southwest can use the "Carolina Special" to Spartan burg and change to Piedmont Northern, which lands you at the door. Or a change can be made to Southern local, getting off at Taylors, S. C. '; . . A Sovereign Cure for Stomach Troubles. The greatest of all the many virtues of Chick Springs water is Hr, ?/ value in the treatment and aire of indigestion and dyspepsia-the twin curses that claim more victims in America than ali other diseases combined. The record of hundreds of long standing chronic cases of these diseases, which have yielded to tl\e effects of the wt{J9r*?nd have been permanently cured, prove beyond question its power to relieve. Many cases have been known where Chick Springs water has been recommended to people in such terrible condition with these stomaJi troubles that they were able to eat barely enough to sustain life. Al most immediately upon beginning *he use of this water they began io leel its Hmeii'Mal et!eels and in a tew days were enjoying the exhil Ir?ti'nV <:?r.se of ?0111-:: nf appetite In every ciss where the^wule. was t.-iken in leasonable ouantity f'?i sorne months, the cure was com plete and permanent ano toe forme:- si-Merer gradually returned tc su perb physical condition.
