NEARLY ALL OF THE STOCK SUB SCRIBED. John H. Inman Largely inter ested The Location at ttie Mouth End of Beau catcher. Prom Daily Citizen Tune 10. A meeting of some of the prominent citizens of the city was held last night in the parlors of the Swannanoa hotel to discuss the Inman hotel project, and to take steps to advance the enterprise by subscriptions of stock in cash and in land. Capt. McBee who represents Mr. Inman, was present and explained the plans. All the stock contemplated to be taken in Aaheville was subscribed save $20,000, which will doubtless be sub scribed to-day. A committee, headed by C. E. Graham, was appointed to can vass the city for that purpose. The taoteliow seems a certainty. Two gentlemen to-day have signified their in tention to take $5,000 each in stock. The balance of the stock, so indefatiga ble workers as Mr. Graham and his asso ciates on the committte on subscription, are certain to secure. About $150,000 is the amount of stock that is contemplated, shall be owned in Asheville, a quarter of a million or more will be owned by Mr. Inman and his other associates. AmoBg those present at the meeting were Dr, S. W. Battle, D. C. Waddell, C. E. Graham, W. B. Gwyn, D. S. Watson, J. H. Loughran, H. C. Hunt, Lawrence Pulliam, J. E. Dickerson, G. M. Williams, Dr. Weaver, W. H. Inloe.J. W. Cortland, T. C. McNeely. W. T. Penniman. W. R. Penniman, C. F. Penniman, C. Starnca and Capt. McBeev ,t ... , ,v . It is learned 10 ay that the capital stock of the hotel company is $$00,000 divided into sharer of $100 each. - Ar rangements have been made "to place $250,000, first mortgage, six per cent. bonds at par, to be used in the construc tion of the hotel. The site has been se lected by Dr. S. W. Battle and is on the southern slope of Beanmont ridge on a tract of land containing 200 acres known as "Overlook park," and the Wharton and McDowell properties. It has frontage of 2,500 feet on Main street, along which the extension of the electric street railway will run. The view from this site is a most magnificent one and moreover the hotel will be sheltered from the cold north wind. About seventy-five acres will be devoted to the hotel build' ings, grounds and park, the balance of the tract is to be subdivided into suitable cottage and villa sites for which it is eminently suited. These lots will be offered for sale to the many people who so much desire summer, winter or all the year residences in this locality, and they will doubtless bring good prices. Wide, well graded roads will be laid out approaching the hotel from four different directions, and everything looking to complete drainage and other material improvement will be done. . :r YV- - The opening up of this property will develop many cosy and very desirable sites for residences, hitherto inaccessible and very likely unknown. The contiguity of the grand hotel, with toe great expen ditures necessary to be made in improv ing the property and the splendid roads and avenues, will render these sites very desirable, and it is safe to say that they will not long remain on the market. Four hundred thousand dollars of stock In the hotel and park enterprise is offered for sale and is nearly all spoken for. The Organization of the hotel company was perfected to-day by election of Capt V. E. McBee president, D. C. Waddell treasurer, and T. C. McNeely secretary. The board of directors are Capt' V. E. McBee, Col. A. B. Andrews, Col. J. G. Martin, C. D. Blanton, W. T. Penniman and Dr. S. W. Battle. ; ' " i i At an Advance of 30,000. Negotiations are pending whereby the .present owners of the Oakland Institute, the board of home missions of the Pres byterian church, will sell the property. There are fifteen acres of land and the building , ! has nearly 100 rooms. The price paid by. the present owners one year ago Awas $75,000, and the. price asked now is $125,000.

Your correspondent learns that this is common in many places in this district. Some of the negro appointees have called out for help already.
