WHAT A1KEX XKKIM.
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

most propitious season to press the
movement, for there are now in our
