Will Bore For Gas.

Wednesdays Evening News.
That prospecting for natural gas
within the vicinity of Garnet will
commence within sixty days ap-|
pears to be reasonably certain.
Last night the city council, by a
unanimous vote, granted franchise
to DR.. J. A. Milligan. The ordi-
nance is, we believe a good one. I'll
provides, in substance, that the
grantee may lay pipes in the streets
and ALLEYS of the city; that work
must be commenced within sixty
days; that the G furnished must be
from wells developed in Anderson
county and that gas for heating the
city building and city prison shall
be furnished free of charge. The or
dinance fixes the maximum charge
for gas at thirty-five cents per thous.
and feet. Rates by the month may
be made but the charge must not
exceed the rate charged by neigh
boring towns. Under the law, the
franchise must be granted to an in
dividual and, for this JASON, it was
granted to Mr.. Milligan. However
company will be at once formed
and associated with Mr.. Milligan
will be Col. A. w. Woodtord, a cap
italist whose home is at Weston,
West Virginia.
Col. Woodford owns the Chap
man and MandOvia additions to
Garnett and lie said to be possessed
of ample means. He has been en-.
gagged in the oil and gas business
and is enthusiastic over the pros
pect and is willing to take one
fourth of the stock of the new com.
pany. With DR.. Milligan and Col.
Woodford will, also, be associated
sucn well known business m n as
NJ. L. White and j. H. Cannon. 1t
is the intention to secure the service
es of a thoroughly competent gas
man with his own rig and the work
will be pushed. A number of wells
will probably be put down by con.
tract.
Mr.. L. O. Madison, who has been
seeking a franchise was present at
last nights meeting. He stated to
the council that he was unwilling to
modify the ordinance, presented by
him at a former meeting, in any par
ticular. As the ordinance was wide
open" ard failed to furnish any
guaranty that the work would be
commenced within a reasonable
time or that the gas furnished would
be from wells in the county, Mr..
Madison Jailed to secure franchise.
There was considerable discus
sion regarding the city's liability to
Mr.. Madison. Hon. N. l.. Bowman
who was present, suggested that in
asmuch as the records showed that
motion to grant granchise to Mr..
Madison, had been passed at for
mer meeting, such motion should
b, recon-idered, otherwise Mr.. Mad
ison, upon complying with the con-
Iii ions stipulated could compel the
city by mandamus proceedings to
grant him franchise. Mr.. Madison
stated that ne was not seeking trous
BILE and asked that his ordinance be
returned. This was done and the
proposition made to Mr.. Mad son
was then reconsidered and voted
down. The council then passed the
ordinance granting al franchise to
DR.. Milligan and adjourned.

Hollis Truesdell, an aged negro
man who has lived in this town.

who has recently been employed as
a driver by DIR. ID. G.. Thompson,
was arrested by Policeman Nivens

Senatorial Vote In Charleston.

In the race FOR the United States
Senate, says the News and Cou-
rier, the Charleston vote will be
even more divided than in the gu
berna!orial contest. There are six
good men who are seeking the
best Office within the gift of the
people. When these gentlemen
spoke here two weeks ago they ali
developed more or less strength.
aud it is simply q gamble to saw
who will lead in Charleston ON the
first primary. There is 10 straw
to show in which direction the
political gale is sweeping. The
race is open much more so than
that for governor-end for the bet
ting people it Is case of pav
your money and take your pick.
After the first primary it may be.
easy enough to figure on the vote
when 1t IS known what candidates
will make the second race. At the
present time, however, it is idle
speculation.
