When we consider the genuine boom that all of tlw resorts, «>f any note, in Florida aro- enjoying this season occasioned by the large num ber of tburists visiting them, together with the hundreds of actual settlers, ■we can but admire tiie. progressive spirit and eaergy exhibited by their citizens. It is estimated that over $6,000,000 will be left in these towns, by tourists alone, this not including the benefit d ;rive«l from investors and emigrants. This is a splendid show ing and it lias all been accomplished by superb hotel aocomm idatious and liberal advertisement. Now it is a well established fact that the climate of Aiken is superior Xo that of any,, point in Florida, and for persons suffering from pulmonary trouble it is not equaled In Die Unit ed States. Tiie question arises (lien, have we, like the resorts cf Florida, made the most of our glorious health giving elimate? We certainly have not. Aiken needs advertising, and it sorely neetto another large hotel. We have one, and it is ably managed and first class in every respect, as are a number of smaller houses in tiie p'aee. As far as they go our arrange- in *nts for the entertainment if the Northern visitor are what they should be, but they fall short of what is re quired, other resorts have a larger ar ray of hotels, and as each hotel re presents .an additional amount of advertising they arc better known to tiie traveliug public. The building of anethei hotel in Aiken was suggested some months ago, do not let the scheme tali through, an4 by the way, this i*. tiie most propitious season to press the movement, for there are now in our undst bussiness men from the North Col.

Drayton was a brilliant writer, and an able advocate, and thorough hisuntiriagenergy and zeal, his paper was made to stand in the foremost rank of Carolina journalism. He was a gentleman of culture, and a warm advocate of the cause of tem perance and will be missed and mourned, not only by his brethren of the press, but by all the good people of his native State, Heath of Col.

He was about fifty-one year* of age and a native of this State* He was educated at the Citadel and at the University of Vireinia. He was a gallant and faith- tul soldier of Trenholm’s Squadron during the war and did hard and patriotic service throughout the re cent conflict.
