Mr. D. E. Allen Talk of a Large
Bnlkling for Charlotte A Place
Where Conventions Could As
semble la DealredV Thto Should
Come With the Hotel.
"This city suffered a long time for
want of hotel accommodations," said
Mr. D. E. Allen In the Manufacturers'
Club last night, "but . now that we
have, or nearly have this need rilled.
It Is plain we've got to have a place
for conventions to meet and for other
large gatherings."
"We need an auditorium," contin
ued Mr. Allen. "When the Marine
Band comes here It would be nice to
have an Indoor concert, but there is
"no enclosure big enough. When Harah
Bernhardt waa touring the South she
would have, come here and been glad
to play in a decent auditorium.
"There, are many organizations, many
of which are national, which would
now find hotel accommodations here,
but no place to meet. The people who
attend large gatherings are the ones
who spend money and It Is the conven
tion city which grows best. When
president Roosevelt was here we had
to have him speak In the open. What
if It had been ralnlna?
"Such a building might be put up
for 10 or 15 thousand dollars and no
money could be better spent for the
Interest of the city. Much local ue
could be made of such a bulldina;
such as by the young people for a
skating rink.
"It Is not alone that we arc having
a fine new hotel, but the Uuford and
Central are being reconstituted and
we are really to have thre- new hotels;
Instead of one. We have now first
class facilities for conventio n except
ing oulv a suitable large building. Of
course we've got a good opera house
but that is not always available and
It does not meet the requirements of
large gatherings su b as conventions
or a Marine Hand concert or a Chatau
qua meetinir.
"Our hotels and street car service
are all all right, .hut we need a large
building for all sorts of meetings and
for many other general uses.
"We wailed quite awhile before get
ting the matter of hotel accommoda
tions in good shape and we might as
well push ahead now till we round out
everything necessary for the Greater
Charlotte .is a city for conventions and
other large meetings."

IMPROVING ELLKltBE SPRINGS, I
New Hotel With All Modem Improve
ments to be Built A Historic Old
Place. , .
Ellerbe 8prtng Is situated north, or
perhaps a little weat of north, from
Rockingham, Richmond county, at a
distance of 12 miles. The watera f
Kllerbe Spring has admirable medicinal
qualities and for years before the civil
war the spring was a health resort.
It is claimed that it Is the only water
In the country which will cure hay
fever. The spring has not been much
attended since the civil war because
the ante-bellum hotels and other ac
commodations became more or less un
fit for occupancy. Several cottages bul!t
by private parties have been occupied
In the last few years during the sum
mer months. One of the drawbacks
has been the l'-mlle drive over a
rough road.
Now a new hotel Is being built and
a new road from Kocklngham Is being
graded and built to the spring.
The new hotel will be completely
equipped with all modern improve
ments. A m.ooo-gallon'tank will be put
up and hot arid cold water will be
throughout the house.
The property Is owned by the Ellerbe
