Statesville, Sept. 3—The directors of the Davis White Sulphur Springs Hotel Company met at the hotel at Hiddenite Thursday night and voted to sell $15,000 worth of 7 per cent preferred stock in the company, the money to be used to improve the hotel and grounds. It is the plan to put in private baths all over the hotel, build a concrete swimming pool, and in many ways beautify and improve the building and grounds. The season this year under the management of J.J. and W.R. Rogers, experienced hotelists, has been very successful and plans for continued growth are being made.
