By no do we say that be-

ourselves for having so zealous a so-

We all agree that is but a

his mind is for figures, did he for a

THE HOTEL QUESTION.
So very little have we heard lately
about the hotel proposition made by
Proctor Bros., of to the
moneyed people of our community
that we are afraid that not unlike
other questions this one has been an-
by a silence that does not
mean consent.
It would seem that not a fairer
proposition could have been put to
the business men of this community.
For a very long time we have told
each other that if there was some-
Greenville needed and needed
mighty bad. It was a modern hotel.
It has been shown that a hotel would
redound to the benefit of practically
every business and property man in
Greenville and yet when it came to
talking dollars and cents quietness
prevailed. It does not mean that we
no longer need the hotel in question.
Far from It. Only a week ago the
hotel facilities were put to a test
and they were found to be painfully
wanting. The only hotel we possess,
worthy of that name, had to turn
down people who had come to see
what they could see and it was to
be deplored that we could not house
them better.
We do need the hotel. Greenville
is progressive and can surely afford
to be so and it is hard to understand
how such an important an issue is
not given more and prompter
I It would be ridiculously to ex-
outsiders to do all for us. We
never dream of having our neighbors
foot our grocery bills. Out of the
question, we say. And thus far we
are right. But. why not use the same

his bank account. Such a man may
or may not deserve sympathy; we are
rather strongly inclined to think that
he deserves none whatever. He knew
full well what he was doing.
Another white man sat not three
