THE ADMINISTRATION ENDORSED

The features of the returns from the
various states in which elections were
held on Tuesday are the carrying OF
Ohio, Iowa, and South Dakota by the
republicans, their gains in New York
and Kentucky, the victory OF the dem
ocrsts in Maryland, and that OF the
fusionists in Nebraska.
In New York state the republicans
have Increased their majority in the
assembly. In Ohio they have elected
. governor by q handsome plurality.
In Iowa, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
South Dakota, and Massachusetts sub
stantial plurslities are reported.
There seems to be no doubt as to the
election In Kentucky Of Taylor, the
republican candidate for governor,
though Goebel announces in his brazen
ray that he is elected and takes an
attitude which is likely to try the
semper of Kentucky republicans and
decent democrats as it has not been
tried in many years.
The general result Is such q COM
plete endorsement of Mr.. Mckinley e
administration that he can look for
ward hopefully to the adoption by con-
Rress and the country of the policy he
has already outlined on the question:
which have virtually been the leading
Issues of the campaign.

A WRITER in the Congregationalist

England, it is burned to produce cleo
trio energy and supplies electric light
and power for q city of 124, 900 people,
at q very moderate cost. Many farms
fertilized by sewage are in operation In
England, France, Germany and Aus

the sewage of Vassar college was final

FLORENCE
Work Begun on the Plant of TIE Light
Heat and Power Company

Florence, May 17.--(Special.)-D. L. Fos-
Florence Light, Heat and Power company
to develop the power of Cypress creek has
begun operati ons with a force of men. He
will erect big stone dam at the site of
the old cotton mills, using the stone in
the Perry dam, which was recently washed
away, and in this way expects to get suf-
ficient power to drive his machinery for
the tunneling of the big hill around which
the creek flows.
The tunncling will be done by the hy-
draulic process, and a temporary power
plant will be erected to drive the machin-
cry, the power being secured from the dam
now in process of erection. The company
expects to get through with the big under
taking by the first Of September by which
time the permanent power plant will be
erected al the foot of the tunnel. The
company will secure, if they realize the
full limit of their expectations, 100 horse
power. Two very important industries are
dependent upon the completion of this
power plant, one being a cotton mill to
cost Sl0O,OO0, the money for which is to be
furnished by outside capitalists in case the
power to drive the machinery can be fur
nfshed as cheaply as claimed. The other is
"a line of street railway from Florence to
East Florence, and possibly to take In
other portions of the city. This is being
pushed by local promoters. The affairs of
both are in such shape as to make publicity
undesirable, but the information at hand
Is that both are bona fide affairs and that
both will materialize within a short
time.
Friday, May 49, has been set apart as
Decoration Day in Florence, and will be
celebrated in fitting style. The graves OF
the Confederate dead in Florence are to
be decorated on this day, the services being
under the direction of the Ladies' Memorial
association. The address for the occasion
will be delivered by Rev. ]. H. Lacy. and
there will be patriotic songs and other in
teresting features. The business houses of
the city have been asked to close for the
afternoon, and the request will probably
be complied with
