COUNTY A NEWSPAPER WITH A CONSCIENCE VOLUME52-NUMBER12USiCKENS, S. C., THURSDAY, JULY 13 19221 TOURIST HOTEL BE BUILT IN TABLE ROCK COVE. Another development which will be a step toward making this section rival the famous Sapphire country of North Carolina is the construction of a tourist hotel in Table Rock Cove, 20 miles north of Pickens, announcement of which is made by J. P. Carey, Jr., of Pickens. The old hotel building near Table Rock :s to be torn away at once and a modern hostelry will be erected in Table Rock Cove, several miles dis tant, Mr. Carey stated. The promot ers of the new hotel are Mr. Carey and Wade H. Chastain, who manages the vast preserves throughout this section of the Carolina Timber Com pany. Work cf tearing down the old hotel, a part of the material of which will be used in the new structure, will be not later than August 1, Mr. Carey stated. It is planned to erect a hotel with :30 guest rooms, while it is po. sible that this number will be increas. ed should the volume of traffic de. mand it. Owing to the late start of the pre sent season, no effort will be made to open the hotel before 1923. Ilow cver, it is planned to have the place ready for tourist at the beginning of ncxt summer and various attractions will be providedl for the incoming plkasure seekers. 3r. Carey said that present plans did not call fGr the construction of a huge lake, cn the order of Lake Toxa way. Such a report was generally circulated about Pickens, but :s with cut foundation for present. However, M\r. Carey made it plain that amuse ments' would be pirovided for the guests and it is considered that if the travel to this section meets expeeta tions a number of devclopments may * be made before the opening of the 1923 season.

Kirksey, one of the owners of 'Table Rock mountain, stated that 3 many perscns are now camped about r the famous "Table," but lack of prop- I er acccmmodations probably has kept 3 this number lown to the minimum. i; That Table Rock was once famous as f a res(rt and was visited by many f S persons is shown by the ironl steps li ene plaOced upl tihe steep side of the mountain. According to Dr. Kirksey these steps were ccted about 1840 3 cr more than 80 years ago.
