Big Treat For Editor Tlio Times; Sir: There are hearty sore and bleeding in Florence today because of the sad I < death of Travis Walsh, and I want to ask for just a little space In your paper to pay a heart felt tribute to his memory. 1 knew him well and j appreciated the many tine qualities which he possessed, and will miss him. My sympathies g 0 out to those who have been bereaved. Today 1 received from a business man of Chi Cage a letter In which he said that accounts published in Chicago pa pers were unfair and untrue; that Travis Walsh always had paid par ticular attention to Tits work, taken , good care of* himself and that bis habits were those of a gentleman and f this was the sort of lift* lie lived. This business man deplored ttie un- i necessary tragedy which he says was i altogether uncalled % Tor, and Travis! Walsh's part of it was. altogether un avoidable and blameless. The lady | with whom he boarded has also writ len In the highest term & of him. say-• ing that he was a '‘beautiful charac- , ter In every way,” and that he was | most popular and respected among t the boarders with whom be lived. I ' ‘can't refrain from paying this tr.buto to the boy who served his country so well In the time of its distress and to wilom I wa s so close. I ' A FRIEND.

McCALL BUILDING FLORENCE, S. C. PHONE 796 <■* ♦j* ADVERT!SEME NT Notice to Citizens Florence SUBJECT: .Modern and Efficient Hotel Accommodations T ♦> f The Chamber of Commerce, with commendable vigor and manifesting a splendid faith in the future of our City, has undertaken, with free eats, splendid music and good speeches, to organize a corporation with which at the an nounced expense of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS OR MORE to erect a new, splendid and com modious hotel to meet the present needs of the community in this respect. To those to whom this advertisement is addressed it is not necessary for me to dwell upon the almost prohibitive expense incident to the erection and equipment of such a betel nor the length of time necessary to erect and equip it. Those who are in reality interested in this matter are already familiar with these things. Neither the hotel business nor the needs of Florence are new to me. I have lived here for many years, during practically all of which time I have been in the hotel busi ness. I realized the needs of Florence for additional hotel ac comodations and had consulted an architect and contractor before anything was said by the Chamber of Commerce on this subject, with a view to enlarging, partially remodl- ng, more efficiently equipping and beoutifying the present Hotel Florence, so that it might meet every need of t h c community for many years to come. In order to save my property, as an investment and to meet the community’s needs, which I recognize. I am now determined to go forward with my plans and expend ap proximately ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS on my present property in adding one hundred bed rooms, ^reproofing and equipping all rooms with hot and cold hath, heat and lights, in converting the mezzanine floor into -eception rooms, ladies’ lobby and orchestra balcony and in generally renovating and rejuvenating the property. To this end and in order to raise funds with which to carry out these plans I have decided to incorporate my property, putting in the present building, equipment and contents at the sum of ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS and selling the capital stock at the par value of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS per share t.o such an amount as will raise the funds necessary to con summate my plans. I will apply for a charter for a corporation with an authorized capital stock of THREE HUNDRED THOU SAND DOLLARS, put in my present plant and as an in ducement to the subscription to the stock I will guarantee to the purchasers an eight (8%) per cen annual dividend for a period of five years, absolutely, and will sell to any individual or syndicate as much of the entire capital stock as he or they may want provided that when the manage ment of the property passes out of my hands the guarantee as to dividends shall immediately cease and upon the fur ther condition that before any of the stock should be sold I have the refusal of the same. The returns on the investment will not necessarily be limited to the eight per cent guaranteed, but will be cumu lative: that is, if the business earns more than eight per cent it will be ratably distributed. Then Florence will have a five hundred thousand dollar hotel, costing not more than three hundred t h ousand dol lars, built, equipped, furnished and operating, not only meeting the every need of the City, but in addition furnish ing to those who invest a safe, fair and sure return for thc use of their money. The details of enlarging, remodeling, equipping and beautifying may be had on application to (Signed) W. R. BARRINGER. ♦>
