This Popular Seaside Resort
will Open Next Sunday
UDDER NEW MANAGEMENT.
^ The Announcement of the Opening of
this Delightful Sea Side Resort is
Made by the New Management for
the Season?Promises to be More Popular
than Heretofore.
The Myrtle Beach Hotel will be
open for business Sunday, May 28th.
Messrs. St John & Son., the lessees
have been here for several days with
a large force of help cleaning the
hotel and grounds and will be in
~ readiness at the date named to care
for the public.
They wish it distinctly understood
that all kinds of rowdyism must be
eliminated. They seek the patronage
of our best class of citizens?
those who enjoy and appreciate a
homelike seaside resort and we believe
that the people of Conway and
the eastern part of North and South
Carolina will be glad to extend to
them a welcoming hand in their efforts
to place this hotel upon a high
plaoe of excellence. The Messrs
St. John have successfully conduc
led well known winter resort hotels
and come to us with high recommendation
as to their capabilities.
They certainly are entitled to public
support and the people of this
vicinity should lend every effort iu
helping to make the hotel a success.
The owners of this property feel
that the right management has been
lacking ar.d as they expressed themselves
to the writer, would ra'her
^ see it locked up permanently rather
' than continue on the old lines, and
* they exerci&ed undue care in selecting
lessees for the place and if success
does not now come to the place
it will probably be closed for years
to come. Every one wishes well for
the future of the hotel ard s > we say
let us all lend a helping hand towards
supp)rting it and making
Myrtle Be? h Hotel a place in which
^ Horry County and its, people will
have just pride.
The Atlantic Coast Line will lend
a helping hand toward making Myr.
tie Baach a success by making an
improved schedule for the season.
A heavy new rail has been laid the
entire distance on this branch railway
and better time can now be
made with safety and excursions on
- Sunday will ha^e nearly three hours
longer time at the beuch than in for
