! Water. Light and Power Company.
Beginning its operations seven years
ago, under the name of the Anderson
Water Supply Company, with the sin
gle object of maintaining and operat-
Ing system of water works, it has
gradually extended its scope until
now, as its name implies, its work
embraces the furnishing Of Water,
Electric Lights and Electric Power,
and to its influence we confidently
look with more hope for the rapid
growth and development of our city
than to any other single factor in our
midst.
In 1889 the City Council entered
into contract with the Anderson
Water Supply Company, wherein they
agreed to take water for fire protection
through public hydrants for IL term Of
twenty-five years, and further granted
to that corporation the exclusive right
to lay pipes and water mains through
the streets Of the city and to furnish
water to private individuals and per-
sons. Under this contract the Water
Company Immediately began the con-
structiun Of It's plant. 1t was design
cd and constructed from the beginning
with view of the city'S growth, and
is to-day of ample capacity for Il city
Of -, 900 people. Cast iron pipes only
are used. Ludlow Valves and llydrants
and Smath-Nailc Pumps. The stand
pipe is located on Sharpcs Hill, the
highest point in the city and very
near its centre: it is of wrought iron,
Is feet in diameter and 100 feet III

cord the fact that he is now in feeble
health.
Mr.. Joseph J. Fretwcll is Il native
of Anderson county. He began clerk
ing for Mr.. S. Beckley more than 20
years ago. After four years of close
attention to business. he was made Il
member of the firm, and shortly at
tcrward married Miss Mamie Blccklcy,
the second daughter of Mr. Blccklcy.
Mr.. Tretwcll has shared with Mr.
Blccklcy in prosperity and owns some
very valuable and handsome property.

vehicles are all sold under twelve

not average 10c. per vehicle per an

steam derived from the boilers of the
Water Company.
Subsequently, in 1898, the two cor
porations were consolidated into the
present Anderson Water, Light &
Power Company, and new and broad
er charter obtained, under which the
Company is authorized to own, con-
struct and operate Water Works,
Electric Lights, Heat and Railway and
Power Plants. From the inception of
these enterprises, Mr.. w. c. Whitner,
who has been their Engineer and Gen
eral Manager. believed that the day
was not distant when the then un-
solved problem of the long distance
transmission of electric energy would
be fully and commercially solved-and
under this conviction he has from
time to time purchased various parcels
Of land on Seneca River at Portman
Shoals, until now the Company own
both sides of the River, embracing the
whole of that magnificent water power.
The development of this Power would.
however, require the expenditure of
large sums Of money, and to become
profitable, must have market for the
power thus developed. Neither con-
tingency was then in sight, but the
work of the Water and Light Company
was then of sufficient consequence to
warrant the experiment of long dis
tancc transmission if power Of the
suitable size and cheapness could be
found. This was found at High
Shoals on Rocky River, six miles dis
tance from the city. A lease of that
property with an option to purchase it
was effected with the owners, the cap
ital stock of the Company was increas
ed from s75, 900 to 800, 600, and the

The Mule Stable and the Wagon
and Buggy Warehouse of Blecklcy d

the citizens Of the town. The stable
was designed by distinguished arch
itect. 1t is two story frame struct-
ure, nicely painted, with metal root.
having frontage of 100 feet and Is
12O feet deep. This is, perhaps, the
handsomest stable in the South. In
the front and end there are two large
and handsomely finished and furnish
ed offices. Steps lead to the apart
ments above, where an elegant stock
of harness is kept. Through the
center of the stable double row OF
stalls are arranged with broad hall
ways on either side Of them; stalls also
adorn the sides of the building inside,
and running back about sixty feet, ter
inmate against huge mule pens. From
100 to $50 mules can be sheltered
here. In rear of the stables is a
handsome brick warehouse oO feet
wide by 100 feet long, with metal roof,
and it is filled with Farm Wagons,
Carriages and Buggics. An enormous
