SOUTHERN WATER POWERS.

In a recent edition the Electrical Re-
of the South and their development,
said: Nowhere else in the world is
water power more potentially useful
than in this section. The climate is
such that power may be developed
throughout the year to great advant-
age, and the constantly increasing
manufacturing industries of the region
will doubtless absorb il as fast as it
can be developed. The Southern states
to-day present one of the most attrac-
tive fields for engineering development
in the United States, and the number
of plants now under construction or in
contemplation in that section is a graf
flying indication that this fact has been
appreciated"
From the Potomac river southwark,
through North Georgia and into Ala
bama, the mountains and highlands of
the Appalachian chain are rich in un-
developed water powers, many as fine
as can be found in the world. The
Geological Survey of Georgia several.
years ago published a pamphlet on the
water powers of this state, showing
that literally tens of thousands of
units of horsepower were going to
waste day in and day out, for the sim
pie and sole reason that capital was
not available to develop the sites. In
some places the sites were isolated by
several miles from means of transpor-
tation, but at other places there were
fine water powers available near rail-
ways. Many of these latter have since
that time been brought into service,
but the aggregate of the available
water powers has hardly been
touched.
Under the modern system Of electri-
cal transmission, power can be sent
over wires to distance Of two, five or
ten miles with very little loss of poten-
TALLY, so that mills and factories may
be established at considerable dis
lance from falls or rapids and yet have
the cheap power afforded by water.
During the past few years not less than
| forty water power plants for manufac-
turing cotton goods, supplying towns
with lights and street railway power,
! and the like, have been established in
| this state, and the prospects are good
| for forty or fifty more during the next
wear or two. The headwaters of the
Savannah river on both the South
Carolina and Georgia banks, are con-
fdently counted upon TO be furnishing
some thousands of horsepower TO
manufacturing enterprises within the
next twelve months. 1t is probably
risling nothing to say that in Georgia
to-day there is undeveloped but avail
able water power enough to run every
mill and factory and railway in the
state, and have large surplus left
over for new industries. Electrical APP
planes will permit of the bringing of
a large numbe of these power-sites in
TO service.

them Off" The old gentleman was

John Most, the New York anarchist
was quoted a day or two ago as ex-
pressing the opinion that If the Pow
ers were to establish an anarchist ISL
and he would probably be made the
king Of it. That is a very queer state
ment to come from a man who does
not believe in either kings or govern
ment and advocates the putting out
of the way" of those in authority. But
Most no doubt indicates just what
would happen. An anarchist island
would soon have king ruling over it,
and he would be probably one Of the
most despotic rulers ever known. And
then the other anarchists would have
an opportunity to put their theories
of violence into practice.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Press (Rep.) says:
IF Senator Quay puts all he knows into
the book he is going to write he will
have to retire from politics for sure.
So will good many Others"
The Washington Post Qnd.) says:
IF the administration decides to as
sumo a retroactive attitude it may
have to censure Gen. Shafter. 1t will
be recalled that Shafter has expressed
some decided views concerning the con-
duct of warriors who filibuste while
the fighting at Santiago was in
progress"
The New York Tribune (Rep.) says
italian financial authorities now wish
to have their state securities listed on
our stock exchange, and there is no
overwhelming objection to it. only it
must be understood that we do not
engage to keep them always at par or
above, and that they will have to take
their chance with the raft of other
properties, state or corporate, which
are dealt in there. ITALY is poor, and
with a big and swelling debt, with
taxes pressed to their limit; but so far
her credit is pretty fair. and she is
entitled to all the privileges and cour-
tesies of our market"

Statistics show that crime is in
creasing in Paris, especially among the
young. Henri Robert, a prominent
lawyer attributes the increase mainly
to compulsory education, though alco-
sholism and physical degeneration are
held to be also partly responsible. He
insists that the meager instruction that
the state forces the lower classes to
undergo is only sufficient to awaken
their immature and corrupt minds to
the inequalities Of society. transform
ing a formerly contented class into a
restless body having little respect fol-
the property rights Of others. The
theory is not new. nevertheless is not
the less interesting.

suffrage ordinance will be completed
BY the committee and submitted TO the
convention, and then will follow hot

Florida sponge fishers will be inter-
ested to learn that sponge grounds
have been discovered in the Hawaiian
Islands that give promise of large
yields. The government is going to
have the discovery investigated with
view to ascertaining the quality and
probable quantity of the sponges. The
American sponge supply is now drawn
principally from Florida waters.
Should the reported Hawaiian discov-
cry prove of Importance it would be
apt to have some effect upon the sponge

Gov. Shaw of Iowa, who has been
selected to succeed Secretary Gage in
the Treasury Department, is said to
have made splendid fortune from
the Texas oil boom. He was a large
stakeholder in what is known as the
Iowa Colony" of rice growers around
Orange and Beaumont, Tex, and
owned many acres of land near where
the oil gushers were struck. The land
had been purchased for few dollars
per acre. When the oil boom came
his land rapidly appreciated in value
and at the right moment Gov. Shaw
sold out to spectators, taking IL, it
is said, something like 100000 profit
The Governor will find need. for a con-
siderable part of this fortune when he
becomes Secretary of the Treasury
and enters Washington social life. II
is said, by the way, that he is a strict
Methodist and teetotaler, and is OPP
posed to dancing. Washington society
will probably not be well pleased to
hear of his anti-drinking and dancing
sentiments.

COMMITTEE IS
 SEEKING ADVICE
Addresses a Letter to Experts Regarding Petroleum in
 This District

The committee appointed by President Kettig of the Commercial Club last Friday afternoon to take up the question of pe- troleum in this district, with instructions to make arrangements for a number of tests has written a letter to a number of experts in the district seeking information and suggestions as to the best place to be- gin.
 Secretary Gibson yesterday mailed a copy of the following letter to several persons in the Birmingham district: Dear Sir-The Commercial Club of Blr- mingham has appointed the undersigned a committee to investigate and find out if 1t be feasible to discover petroleum in this district. The committee has concluded to ask the advice of a number of leading ex- perts of the district as to the possibilities Of finding petroleum, the best method to pursue and In what location it is thought best to make the first trial, and we write to you in the hope that you will give us advice on this matter, and any information you think will go to aid us in accomplish ing the end in view.

FOOD BUILDS TEETH. Boy of 6 Lacks Teeth Until Fed Prop

A little chap years old, the son of w. Wells of Ravenswood, Ill, had, up to a short time ago, cut very few teeth. Nat urally the imperfect mastification of food caused indigestion and a poorly nourished system "When I first saw the lad," says Rev W. Osborne Stranahan of BOOT N.

The first trial convinced the parents of one thing-at least they had found a food the boy really liked He empties his dish and calls for more the mother said.

Judge Feagin yesterday took up the cases of gaming docketed against the men who were arrested Monday night in raid on the Passover Club whose rooms were in the oBrien Opera House Hotel.
 The first case called was that of Abe Seigel. He was charged with violating sec- tion 5S0 of the city code. Captain Weir took the stand and testified as follows: About 8 o'clock Monday night went to the fourth floor of the O'Bren Opera House Hotel with Chief Austin and several men. We went into a room where MT. Seigel and some friends were playing cards on a large round table. They were using chips. I did not see any money bet. After we en- tered Mir Seigel counted the chips. I can't say whether they were of any value." Do you know whether they were gambling?" asked the defendants attorney, Frank Cahalan. No; don't know whether they were betting or not" replied Captain Weir. "We found money on the table. There was safe In the room and Mir. Seigel got up and locked it when we came in.''
 Officer Culpepper gave substantially the same testimony The judge discharged the
