ACCORDING to legal opinions in
Washington, declaration by the
supreme court that the grand
father" clause in the constitutions
of several southern states is un-
constitutional, will merely exclude
from the franchise those illiterate
whites who vote by virtue of their
ancestors, and would not restore
the suffrage to single negro or
disfranchised white. The educa-
tional and property qualifications
would not be affected by the de-
struotion of the ancestry clause.

ELEVEN HUNDRED naval appren-
tices are being cared for at the
Newport training station, So
popular has this branch become
with boys that the navy depart
ment finds it impracticable to
quarter more in the new barracks,
There has been an increase in the
number stationed at Newport for
the last twelve months of from
700 to LOO, which gives the ser
vice the largest NUM- Der of boys
ever secured since the apprentice
system was established. This in
creases the percentage of native
born seamen in the navy to 81 per
cent, larger than ever before.

New School Superintendent

The county commissioners met
in special session yesterday at
Canon City for the purpose of APP
pointing a new school superin-
tendent to fill the unexpired term
of two months made vacant by the
death of J NJ. Hanks There
were a number of applicants for
the position, but the commission
sioners selected Mrs. Wilson, as
they thought that as she was dep
nty to Mr. Hanks and more famil-
lar with the work, and the term
being so short, she was in d better
position to handle the work, espe-
cially as the school term begins in
few days.
Mrs Wilson is no stranger to
Florence and needs no introduce
ton to her people, for until eight
cen months ago she made this her
home, holds property here now
and had taught three terms in the
Florence schools.
The lady is familiar with every
detail of the work and is probab bly,
better qualified to take hold of the
work than any other person on ac-
count of her experience in the last
year Everyone speaks in praise
of the selection made by the com
missioners

The Florence daily tribune., 1901-08-28

The TRIBUNE is disposed to
commend the county commission
ers on their appointment of Mrs.
Wilson to fill the unexpired term
of the late j NJ. Hanks as county
superintendent of school. Only
about two more months of the term
remain, and as Mrs. Wilson has
become thoroughly familiar with
the work of the Office by serving
as Mr.. Hanks deputy, she is en-
minently qualified to ill the posi-
ton. A new man or woman would
hardly have become familiar with
the Office before the expiration of
the term. The board seems to
have done just the right thing.

The special agent of the census
bureau who was sent to Mississippi
some time ago to investigate
alleged Irregularities in the census
returns from that state has report
ed extensive frauds in the compila-
tion of agricultural statistics in
Washington county. The first in
timation that the census bureau
had of wrongdaing was when it
was found that the report on agri-
cultural statistics collected by a
colored enumerator, did not tally
with the population report return
ed by him, he returning children
as owners of farms and by like
devices increased the mum Der of
farms reported, thereby increasing
his own compensation. Five other
enumerators have since been ar
rested. The result of the frauds
on the total reported valuation of
farms is not serious the falsity be-
ing only in the nun ber of separate
farms reported and not in the
statistics of their droducts.

NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT.
Brick Building Opposite Island House
viii Be Finely Working
Reinu Pushed


The Fan Mountain Electric Light &
Power company have closed a contract
for the erection of a well-equpped and
extensive secondary steam power plant
The buildings will be of brick and will be
located opposite the Island House on the
rear half of the lot formerly occupied by
the old frame storehouse of the Fan
Mountain Paper company, removed sew
eral year ago Work was begun yester-
day by a large force of men and the con-
tract calls for it's being i'm readiness for
use June LIST, in order that the annual in
convenience to the plant and electric road
by the logs and low water may be avoid
ed. The plant will have two boilers of
$50 horse power each, with a 400 horse
power engine There will be three pow
erful generators of the latest pattern,
making an entirely Independent auxiliary
station, separate from the present water
power station. At once upon the com
pleton of the new plant so as to be able
to furnish light and power, the present
old plant will be entirely rebuilt and re-
fitted, making a complete duplicate sys-
TEN. me power will be from the water
as now under ordinary circumstances,
but by having the duplicate steam plant
all delays and inconvenience are avoid
ed when, for any cause, the water power
is not available, as has happened a por-
ton of the time for the past few years.
A month or more ago the company sent
out specifications and plans for the plant
and its machinery asking for bids of va
rious contractors. Last Friday the con-
tract was awarded to Frank B. Gilbreth
of 176 Federal street, Boston, who will
furnish the building and machinery COM
plete in the time specified. He has ar
ranged with our local contractor, f. |.
l<ilburn, to do a portion of the work, and
John O. Dpring will do the brick work,
including the chimney Both have put
on fun forces of men and the work will
be rushed. This extension of the cleo
trio facilities of the village is matter
which has been sadly needed for the past
few years, and especially since the cleo
trio road was started last year. The ad-
ditons are subjects for congratulation to
all citizens.
