A Savings Bank will be established in
connection with the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank shortly after the first of jan
uary. It will have capital of fifty thou
! sand dollars, and will have charter of its
own and 9 separate Board Of Directors, but
the business will be conducted in the Far
| mers and Merchants Bank building, and
| by its officers, saving in this way rent and
salaries OF extra officers. This means the
business will be done a. minimum ex.
perse. The principal business Of this new
Bank will be to lend money Oh real estate,
which the Farmers and Merchants has
always avoided. The two institutions will
not conflict, but one will fill field the
other has never occupied. The new Bank
will pay interest on deposits. There is
room for an institution Of this sort, end
| being run in connection with the Farmers
and Merchants Bank its success is assured.
| Applications for more stock than the fifty
| thousand dollars wanted have been made,
| but il is the policy of the promoters to
place the stock in small amounts so as to
interest as many as possible.
The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle of the 18th
says: Superintendent Moore. Of the
| Augusta Railway and. Electric Company,
has returned from Anderson. S. c., where
| he went to witness the starting up Of the
work ofthe long distance power transmits
sion line MIR. Moore was greatly pleased
| with the working of Anderson's new en-.
terprise, and spoke of it in terms of high
est praise. The idea OF having this long
| distance transmission of power is, Of
course, not new, but up to the present it
| has not been utilized in the South. Au-
! derson is a distance Of ten miles from q
point on the Seneca River where there is a
| good waterfall, and so capitalists decided
that they would press this power into SER
vice, transmit it on wires after it was har.
messed and thus obtain for Anderson cheap
power The fall which is utilized is 40
feet, and granite dam $50 feet long Was
built. The water develops power equal
to that of 5000 horses and is obtained by
means of five l, 900 horse power dynamos
coupled to the turbines. There are two
sets of these dynanos running now, Civ
ing power for the electric light plant Of the
city and for two mills. The power is
transmitted over No. 2 copper wire. and
miles. The current is generated under q
pressure of H. 900 volts and with the high
eat potential dynamoes constructed on the
American continent. The eplsntrepresents
an inves;n snt of about $500 000."
