Darien Commissioners Named.
Gov. Terrell to-day appointed T. K.
Durham and ". New. Young to be
members Of the City Commissioners of
Darien, corresponding to a City Coun-
ell. These appointments are made IN
der a law passed providing for the APP
pointment of Darien city officials BY
the Governor for the purpose of re-
moving the danger of election of ne
groes. Appointment Of the Mcintosh
County Commissioners will be made
by the Governor in the next day or
two.
Primary Indicated "Vox Populi."
on the ground that the action of a
primary election clearly indicates the
choice of the people, Gov. Terrell to-
day appointed Hon. John Murrow to
be judge and Hon. J. J. Murray TO be
solicitor of the City Court of Triton.
These were nominated by the people
at the primary in April. At the fol-
lowing session of the Legislature the
law was changed so as to make these
officials appointive by the Governor A
fight was then made against those who
had been nominated at the primary
but Gov. Terrell appointed them on
the ground that they were the peoples
choice.
Didn't Get Notice of Convictions.
Secretary Goodloe Yancey of the
Prison Commission to-day entered a
strenuous denial of the charge that
two penitentiary prisoners had been
allowed to remain for a month in the
Jail at Valdosta at the expense Of
Lowndes county. If they remained
there it was not the fault of the COM
mission, he asserts. because notice Of
their conviction and sentence was not
received at the Prison Commission Of
fee until Dec. 10. as the postmark on
the letter shows. These sentences
were filed and recorded Dec. 8, but for
some reason the Prison Commission
was not promptly notified. Within
three days after the receipt of the no.
tice orders were given providing for
the transfer of the two prisoners to
penfentiary camps.

UncouStitutionnI.


Charleston. S. c., Dec. 3O-In the
United States Circuit Court to-day
Judge Brawley filed an opinion and
order declaring unconstitutional the
law recently passed by the South Caro-
lima Legislature prohibiting the ship
ment or transportation of shad fish
beyond the limits Of the state. A test
case had been made. the compliments
proffering the fish to shipment TO the
Southern Express Company and upon
the refusal of the latter to handle the
same, action was brought with the
result mentioned.
In his opinion Judge Brawley
brought out the fact that the law did
not confine its mandate to fish caught
in South Carolina waters. and was.
therefore. in opposition to the inter-
state commerce law.

Beaufort. S. c.. Dec. 3O-Congress-
man-elect J. o. Patterson. from the
Second District, is in Beaufort for a
short while arranging to meet the
charges made by Isaac Meyers, who is
contesting his seat in Congress. Mr..
Patterson does not think he has any
cause to fear that Meyers will be sue
cessful in his contest, but thinks it
important that he should be on the
alert to meet the charges of fraud and
Irregularities in the recent election
made by the contestant. Meyers, it is
understood, will look mostly to
Beaufort county to gather testimony,
as most of the votes he received were
in this county.
Mr.. Patterson is very much interest
ed IN the towns of Beaufort and Port
Royal. and hopes, with the aid and adj
vice of the citizens here. to be able
to do something for these towns.

Southern Water Power.

Our correspondent at Salisbury y. q.
says that the work of developing the enor-
NOUS water power available at the noted
.,narrows,' on the Yadkn River, about
eighteen miles from that town Will be
resumed and pushed to rapid completion.
IT is estimated that the work Will cost
no less than s5,ooo,no0 and that enough
power will be available to run one-halt
the machinery In the State Of North
Carolina. III N
The statement was recently n&de tina
the United States was ahead Of all ma
tions in the devclopment'bf water power.
Whether or not that be true, we do not
know, but It is a. fact that this country
made wondrous progress in that direction
within the past several years, and no sec
ton has made greater progress than the
South. We are blessed with running
streams flowing from the mountains TO
the sea, which afford valuable water
power, and enterprislng men have not
failed to take advantage OF the oppor-
tunities thus presented to harness the
forces OF nature. Electricity has made
water power much more available, ana
has played an important part IN Its de-
velopment. Under the old system mill
had to be located directly on the stream;
through the medium of electricity the
power can be transmitted to Yong dis
,tances, the advantages 81 which are
apparent.
However, there Is still much water
power throughout the South that is run run
ming to waste and there aresstill attrac-
tive opportunities awaiting those who
will take possession.
