Enthusiastic Meeting of Chamber of Commerce Yesterday to , Consider Movement, i BOOKS OF SUBSCRIPTION. Stock Already Being Solicited for Enter prise That Will Ultimately Be Valued at $180,000 Mr. CnrUtian, of the Seaboard Air Lioe. The movement for a new and mod ern hotel of large capacity at Wrights ville Beach in view of the unmistak able evidences of a. largely-increased patronage at that' delightful resott this Summer received a gTeat impetus at. an euthusiastie geaerafTnaetfng of the Wilmington Chamber: of Commerce, held yesterday at noon. As a . result Tto hear - Assistant General Passenger Agent W. E. Christian, of the Sea board Air Line, upon , the prospect of increaied travel this season, the bus! ness menj)f the city were awakened to the Imperative and immediate need of increased hotel" facilities at the beach and the Chamber of Commerce -lent its endorsement to the movement by appointing a soliciting committee of three to at once canvass the city with a view of securing a sufficient amount of stock locally to make the proposi. tlon an inviting one for outside capi talists who have already manifested a very flattering confidence in the pro ject. Vice President H. W. Malloy pre sided at the meeting in the absence of President Chadbourh, who was out of the city and did not come in until Inter, and among those in attendance were Secretary James Kyle, of the Chamber, who kept a record of the proceedings; Mr. W. E. Christian, Mr. T. D. Meares and Mr. G. F. Fletcher, of the Seaboard Air Lines Mr.' Hugh MacBae, president, and Capt, W. F. Corbett, soliciting agent, of the Con solids ted Bail ways. Light and Power Oa; Mr. Nelson Millett, of Denver, OoL, representing himself and asso ciates, who desire to invest largely in a hotel on the "Hammocks;" Messrs. Walker Taylor, a W. Worth,; G.

" " ' : ,- Mr. Malloy, In calling the meeting to order, said it was for the purpose of considering the question of erecting a hotel on the "Hammocks" or on the beach early enough for occupancy this season, tie called upon axr. w. is. Christian, of the Seaboard Air Line, as to his Idea of the necessity for such an enterprise. Mr. Christian detailed the result of the informal conference the afternoon previous at the offlce of Mr. Hugh MacRse, and said the newspapers had given a very clear outline of what had been said and done there, and conse quently very little remained for him to add. He wanted it understood that he was not in Wilmington as a hotel promoter, and that he was not author ized to bind his company in any par ticular. However, from conversa tions he had with General Pas sengerAgent Ryan, of the Sea board system, he felt ' confident that the S. A. L. would do its share towards the development of Wrights ville Into one of the- greatest resorts on the South Atlantle coast. ' Last sea son the Seaboard brought 1,700 people here from Atlanta, but some of them were dissatisfied with the lack of hotel facilities. Notwithstanding thatj how ever, there were now many applicants at his office who desired to come or bring excursions again. H? meaot no reflection on hotels now on the bacb, the proprietors of which were as anx ious for increased facilities as he was, but if there was a place for the people be could bring 8,000 of them here during the season. The company pro posed to continue the 13.50 rate and give additional train service, but Its hands are aimnly tied It the hotel ac commodations are inadequate. Mr. Christian reviewed the ilatory and phenomenal gro wth of Southern Pines from a barren sand waste to a thriving resort of 2,000 people, to which the Seaboard carried hundreds of tourists -upon their return from Florida. Wilmington as a resort of that kind could be easily developed by the Coast Line for its heavy Florida traffic. He said Mr. Meares had been making a great effort to get Pullman service between Wilmington and Charlotte," but so far the service was not justified by the travel.' However, he said, that the Wilmington-Charlotte train of the Seaboard Was paying bet ter per mile than ' any train on his system. He was also Informed by the Pullman people that the weekend sleeper run to the beach last season paid better than any sleeper running out of Atlanta to a resort point. This Summer, if the right spirit was mani fested by Wilmington people in pro-viding-accommodations, he thought the Seaboard would attach a sleeper to the train from Hamlet, which now ar rives here at 8 A. M., "and would at tach a parlor car to the train reaching here at 12:80 "P. M. ' Mr. Hugh MacRse was called on," but he simply introduced Mr. Millett, of Colorado, whom he said : had thor oughly investigated the hotel proposi tion. In Mr. Millett's opinion Wrights- ville Beach is the greatest asset Wil mington possesses. - It is greater than the people seem to have any concep tion of. The climate, in his opinion, has no superior for a Winter resort in the South. Where Southern Pines and Pinehurst have One advantage, Wilmington has two. When we make Northern people understand that with a ride of 12 or 18 hours they can reach a climate like this, with less expense and Inconvenience than Is attached to a Florida trip, Wrightsville will hare more Winter tourists than she can ac commodate and this will lead to a re vival in all - other lines of Business. Mr. Millett said he could speak posi tively only for himself, but he was willing to stake his all on the "Ham mocks" proposition and could interest much -more capital,'; but some local backing was . absolutely essential to success when presenting thereaieia 1 I outside' TI BKtffisT-who in variably - ask the question if the home folks have confidence in the scheme. He thought that the plans would rapidly mate rialize. Mr. George AJ Croft, the popular travelling man who has many Influen tial friends in Atlanta, was present and authorized the statement that Atlanta people whom he knew would readily take $25,000 stock in the pro jected enterprise.: Mr. Hugh MacBae said there would be no trouble in raising $25,000 for a new hotel but the plan-was to raise $25,000 among a few of the larger Capitalists and to secure the remaining $25,000 from smaller investorssome thing on the order by which the Wil mington Tobacco Warehouse Com pany was organized. He said that Mr. Worth and himself had made a desul tory canvass a few days ago among the larger capitalists and had easily secured $16,000, but the matter for one reason or another had been allowed to lag until Mr. Christian arrived and the absolute necessity of the enterprise became apparent It had now been deoided to raise $30,000 at once for a Summer hotel and to add $50,000 to convert the property into a Winter hotel later. Mr. C. W. Worth expressed appre ciation of the interest taken in our re sort by strangers and said itTwas only a pity that It is necessary for outsiders to come in and arouse our " peo ple to opportunities at their very doors. He didnt view the situa tion of one that appealed to the public spirit of the community, but it was a proposition that invited hose looking for a sound business in vestment. He concluded his remarks with a motion that the chairman ap point a committee of three to at once begin a canvass for stock and be ready to report, if possible, on Wednesday following. There was a little further diseunion and Mr. Malloy appointed Messrs. C. W. Worth, G. Herbert Smith and Sam Bear, Jr., to constitute the solicit ing committee. Upon the suggestion of some one, Mr. Millett was added to the committee and work was begun at once In the afternoon. mr. worth, chairman or the com mittee, asks that all who desire to sub scribe to the stock and are not found by the committee in its haste, to con fer with any member who will enter any number of shares at $100 each. The time is limited and for that rea son the committee in its rounds may miss some whom it would like to in terest NOTES ABOUT THE CITY ELECTION. New Charter Will Be Voted Upon Can dl- dates for Aldermen. OfiScial notice is given in another column of an entirely new registra tion for the forthcoming city election on the first Tuesday in May.
