6 THE AMERICAS DAILY TIMES-RECOHDER: FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, im. A- "WILL THEY COME HERE? THAT IS, THE NORTHERN AND FOR EIGN TOURISTS. Of lutc-rr.t to the People of Atnerlcue— Who Will be the Man to Itnn Our New Hotel?—The Drawing Tower* by Favorite Landlord* TL.it is, will the omnipresent northern tourist come to Americus when our mag nificent winter resort hotel is finished and opened? This is a question of great moment just now to a great many peo ple in this city whose money lies in the vast pi'e of brick and mortar that is t. constitute our great hotel. “That depends,” in the opinion of I good many well posted persons, on cir cumstances. It by no means follows that because we have built an #100,000 house, the tourist is going to make a rush for it at the very outset. Oh, no, the tourist is a very peculiar bird; and lie isn’t caught with chaff. Those who have frequented the Florida winter hotels, have discover ed that the tourist is gregarious, and is furthermore disposed to follow certain landlords around from place to place, many of these bonifaees keeping hotels in the north during summer and in Flor ida in winter, and carrying their clien tele wherever they go. Hundreds of these tourists will go any where that a certain favorite landlord bangs out his shingle; and what Is fur thermore of importance, these landlords “drum" for one another, and so do their guests for them. Thousands of tourists are sent by this system from place to place, where they might never go other wise. If our hotel should be leased by a landlord not “in the ring” or the “com bination,” it might be some time before any considerable patronage of that very desirable class came this way, If at all. - A reputation would have to be built up not only for the hotel but for the landlord, whereas, the right sort of landlord could bring hundreds of tour ists here the first season. In view of this well-known fact, the weight of opinion among the manage ment seems to be in favor of the hotel being run the first year by the owners, the right sort of landlord ,to control a big run of tourist custom being employ ed by the hotel company on a salary, as he might not be brought to try field without Buch guarantee. As soon as the reputation of the “Queen of Southwest Georgia” was es tablished among the tourists, there would be no trouble about leasing the hotel on the best of terms to any one of the numerous landlords who would be both willing and able to give a good rental. A mistake at tbo outset would bo a serious backset, and take some time to recover from. For example, the DeSoto at Savannah was first leased at a big price to a mnn Ignorant of the situation and without a clientele among the tourists; and though it was one of the finest hotels In the country, the management was a failure, and fell through the first season, owing unpaid bills In all directions; and thus doing the bouse an Injury that the present management has had a hard light to overcome. These views are gathered from the ex presslons of several members of the board of management; and may bo re garded as reflecting the sentiments of many if nota majority of the board. These gentlemen are determined not to mako any-, mistake^ in this matter; awl A(ncr(cus‘niay depend 'npdn it, tha the very best filing thaf can bedoneio the success of this magnificent property will be done,/. , .... Freak of Lightning. During the storm of yesterday after noon the lightning had a little skirmish with t)>o cun tents of tbe . house, <d r Mr. Thompson, in his absence. It 1 -might have been different If Mr. Thompson bad been at home; but Mr. T. is just as well pleased that he was not “in it.” The house is on the corner of Trinee and Church streets, and that house to-day has more ventilation on tbe cor- ner then It ever had before. Glassware, crockery, etc., received special attention from the electric visitor, and at the fin ish those articles were “no good.” Fortunately, there was nobody at home to receive tbo sudden visit, and the reporter lost what might have been a good item. Mrs. McConnell, a neigh bor, witnessed the performance, and when she recovered from the effects of the suddenness of what she saw, she sent for Mr. Thompson. Thero will bo a noticeable improvement in the glass ware and crockery linn on Saturday. Another Dale.
