A letter from Edward Plank urges Aiken residents to back a winter hotel project with a $30,000 investment, arguing the venture would be the best in the region. The draft also includes a political polemic attacking Republicans over internal revenue taxation and liquor policies, contrasting moral concerns with industrial profit.
Mr J C Plank writes in The News and Courier that ample time exists to build a Charleston hotel modeled after Mackinac Mich example costing 300000 and completed in eighty one days. He urges rapid fundraising by subscriptions and a bond vote, noting Atlanta’s Kimball House opened in 100 days after ground breaking and claiming Aiken could pledge 430000 to finish the project within days.
The case concerns railroad companies offering stopover tickets to Florida residents. It notes that some individuals may be induced to stay temporarily, while discussions continue about stopover facilities and broader arrangements for those who will stop.
