 'E,lba. Ala, illustrates. for instance, its belief in the doctrine that Providence helps them who help themselves by hav- ling recently expended its money in the development of 2.500 horse power water power for electrical transmission for the Eexpress purpose of drawing industrial en- terprises to that town. As stated Fin an Advertisement. this plant is owned by local people who announce that the power
 will be sold at very. low prices. perhaps the lowest in the world. The first large
 factory will get especially low prices and
 favorable terms" A community which displays it's own faith and energy in it's
 future by investing its own capital in the
 development of such an undertaking, not so much with view to making money out of the investment directly as by the development of the town by drawing in- dustrial enterprises to that point, provea itself to be community we'll worthy of a careful investigation by all.. contemplat- ing the establishment of manufacturing interests. There are hundreds of places throughout the South where this spirit is needed
 Praise from so high a source Is gratify- ing to the people of Elba. Movements are on foot to secure several large enterprises here, and 1t is believed that they will be successful.

 My dear friend-I thank you with my whole heart for your very great kind ness and complimentary expressions about myself which I appreciate very much. T appreciate more than I can express, the kind feeling evinced toward me by the people, whom I tried so hard to serve. I have always enjoyed my canvass for Congress, as it was SO pleasant to meet the people. but to be a candidate now would make a stir in the district-it would take Judge Richardson from his duties, which would initiate against the interests of the district.
 Thanking you with my whole heart, believe me very truly your friend.

fine WORK
ON. CAPITOL.
IN Old Foundation Discovered
While Workmcn Lay
New One.
CAUSES SPECULATION.
Theory That Probably Other
Buildings Were on
the Site.

The work on tho foundations for, the
wings to tho Capitol building Is nearly
completed. and tho members OF the COM
mittee. as we'll as the contractor. are
pleased with tho progress that Is being
made. iii
In cutting the way for the foundations
for the wings an interesting discovery
was made, which no one has yet been
able TO explain. When the digging was
going on we'll laid brick foundations were
found on both sides, and had to DO cut
through in order to run the new walls
properly Several theories have been adj
vanced. though none OF them are known
to be correct One Is tAat the old fouada-
tons were probably the basis for foun-
stains. which may have been on either
side years ago. This Is the view OF Con-
tractor Chesterman but no ons is known
to recall such fountains. There arc those.
on the other hand. who express the be-
lief that 1t was originally intended that
there should have been wings to the Capt.
toll when Che present structure was built.
Still Other Views.
This is probably no, the case, however.
as the history Of the building does not
bear It out.
Still others seem to think that before
the Capitol was built there may have
been other houses on the site, and that
the old foundations were used Tor these.
At any rate. the foundations were there.
and were constructed In the most substan-&
tal manner
The entire roof has been aiken of the
old building, and as It stands now It gives
more the appearance OF q huge pen than
IA house. Mr.. Chesterman is pushing the
work vigorously. and he believes he VIII
be able to bring the completion within
his contra ct. ~ 5!5s II.
