Tribute To Travis Walsh
HAD DONE HIS SHARE.
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.

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.
