THE HOTEL SUMTER.
It is a Credit to the City ID Every
Way-The Opening Monday.
Tbe Hotel Sumter was thrown open for the
reception of rhe public Monday and hence?
forth the latch string will b^oe on ibe outside
and ali who come will ba made welcome with?
in its hospitable portals Doc Caldwell, for
many years the clerk at tbe Centra! Hotel,
Florence, who know3 and ia known by thou
sands of travelling men, all of whom count
bim a friend, ie at the desk and waiting to
extend the glad hand to his old friends and
to welcome the new ; and tbe proprietors,
Me?3rs Pareira & Solomons, will sp*re ne
effort to oro vio s everv comfort for their
guests and to make the Hotel Sumter an oasis
of restfulness and good cbear
Tbe opening was attended by circumstances
that could oo: be otherwise than gratifying fo
the*Dropr:etors, for tbey received the most sub.
stanual and satisfactory demonstration that
tb8ir efforts to provide a handsomely furnish
ed, well eouipped and thoroughly modern
aod comfortable hotel bas th? approtal and
best wishes of the people of Sumter and of
the traveling public as well.
From 3 o'clock, the boor of opening, until
6 o'c'ock Monday afternoon the hotel-wss
crowded with town people, a large majority
of whom were ladies, who accepted the invi?
tation of tbe proprietors to participate io the
opening and inspect the hotel. From ail this
crowd came not a siogie word of unfavora?
ble comment-all were enthusiastic in prais?
ing tbe arrangement of tbe bouse, the taste
that the furnishings and decorations evidenced
and the comfort and elegance to be observed
oo every baod
The band was stationed on the upper
piazza and during th* boars of the reception
gave a most delightful rustical programme,
contributing greatly to the success of the
occasion and the eatertainrcent of the visitors
Again in th? evening, from 8 to ll, the
hotel was crowded, and then the guests were
not ali town people, for tr?e eveniog trains
brought io a crowd of traveling men and they
made a bee line for the new hotel, the fame
of which bad spread abroad in advance of
the opening. Thev had baard much, but,
Hie the queen of olden time, who visited the
court of King Salomon, they bad to admit
that the half bad not been told them. Toej
were pleased with the spacious lobby, the
wide and breezy piazzas, rbe cosy wr'.tiog
rooms and the band-tome and comfortable
bed rooms and they sa:d so ; then tbey had
supper and that pat on the finishing touches
-they we:e delighted and they straightway
declared by a unanimous vote that Sumter is,
and ot right ought to be, the Sunday town of
this section of the country Io the diniag
room they made a discovery-that the Hotel
Sumter ba3 a manager, who provides the be3t
fare the markets affords, and a cook who
knows what good cooking is and cooks ac?
cordingly.
Tbe traveling men were not the whole
push, however, for the hand was again oo
band, and from 8 to ll, famished music
for the eotertafn*r?ant of the throng of visit?
ors. The crowd was almost as great as dur?
ing tbe afternoon, and sow tbe men predom?
inated io numbers although there were many
ladies present
The dining room was crowded for several

sons being served. The menu, which was as

would never he recognized and the new part
entirely al'ers the appearance of the whole
place There are 40 rooms, a spacious lobby
and office, from which the rotunda extends
to the roof, a handsome reading room, barner
shop, sample room and a perfect gem in the
shape of a dining room Ali of tbs ball?,
the dining room, the parlar aod every bed
room in t??e hoos? are carpeted Toe wal!?

bed rooms are ta?tefol!y and comfortably
furnished ; io f*ct there is not a cb^ap cr
shod 3y thing to te found in the bouse, acd
the predominant and mo?: noticeable feature
observable everywhere is that of arbolare
cleanliness a^d solid comfort There is not
10 icside room in the bouse, every room e.nd

the broad pUzziS that ex'eud tbs full length
of tba front on both the Srei and second
fl >ors, with a balcony on the third floor, are
tbe chief attrsctioas, for io this climate the

part of the year. They are spacious acd
broad and will oe an ideal lounging place
for tte jiceata
Tbs hotel is just what Sumter bu long

Cipt Hood said he bad no idea of coming
tc Georgetown to mase a speech, but to sell

Dot look at the fire department as your Hon?
orable Mayor does They don't want to give
us nnytbicg. W? bave to buy everything we
