circumstantial evidence is very
strong against them. Four shots

Falls of the Catuwba.
Charlotte Observer.

The Southern Power Company
was organrz d IN New lork last
Saturday with II capital stock of
81, 500 00) the object of the con
Germ being to develnpe the powers
of the Catawba and Wateree rivers
in North Carolina an d upper
South Ctrolina. The officers of
the new corporation. which was
organized under New Jersey
charter were elected as follows:
President, DR.. w. Gill Wylle, Of
New York; first vice president,
MIR. b. N. Duke, of Durham;
second vice president, and chief
engineer, W. S. Lee, Jr of Char
lotte; secretary and treasurer, Il.
b. Arlington, of New York; as
sistant secretaty and treasurer, w.
II. Martin, Jr., Of Charlotte,
The new concern will have its
offices in Chorlotte. 1t absorbs
the Catawba Power Company,
and will retain the quarters, in
the Trust building, and the Office
and other forces of the old compa-
ny. The pust success and bright
prospects of the Catawba Power
Company, completed us it was less
than two years ago, are probably
responsible FIR the birth of the
new and large Company.
1t has been known by few
Charlotte business men h t
the organization Of such a
concern as the Southern Power
Company was contemplated, but
no one realized the lmmensity of
tie project. The company has
control OF the Catawba Power
Company, developed, the Noun
tain Island power, the Wateree
Falls, the Small and Great Falls
Of the Catawba and other valuable
property that is accessible and can
be developed as there is a demand
for the power.
The Great Falls of the Catawaba
will be developed at once. There
will be three developments here
and the completed plant will cost
not less than $l,5O0,O0O. The
estimsted amount of power will be
20, 200 horsepower to each de-
velopmGnt, or u total Of 60, 900
horsepower. This plant will be
about the size Of the plant of the
Whitney Reduction Company, On
the Yadkin, already in process OF
construction. The surveying and
making plans aud specifications
for this great pioce Of work have
baen in progress for some time,
and the construction work will be
started as soon as possible and
will be prosecuted vigorously un-
til the completion. The company
hopes to have che Liant in opera
tion within two years.
The great Falls are located about
midway between Chester an d
Winnsboro, S. &. They are about
I2 miles from the Southern Rail-
way, and about 40 miles from
Charlotte. The electric power
generated here will be distributed
In this city, Chester, Winnsboro,
and other towns in South Carroll
ma and this State.
DR.. Wylie and tbs other officers

Germ first became interested in the

POLES ARE SEEN EVERYWHERE.
Telephone Company Takes Posses
ion Of The Streets.

In less than a distance Of two blocks
on Conduit street there are thirteen
telephone poles of the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Company. and
others to be erected. The street is
ornamented t?) with these at inter
walls of five and ten feet, and in two
or three places the poles are by actual
measurement twelve inches apart.
Give telephone company an inch
and they take quarter inches. Even
the United States Government has
yielded to the rights, privileges and
demands of the O. a p. Telephone
Copmany, and has removed its letter
box for the United States mails at
the corner of Conduit and Duke of
Glouceser street for the accommoda-
tion of telephone pole. The multi
plicity of the poles evidences the fact
that all rights of franchise belong TO
the high and mighty telephone COM
pany, who, from appearances, will
soon own the town.
Yesterday the Capitals sign board
was smashed by the United States Ex-
press Company's wagon directly, but
the primary cause was the @. q p.
Telephone Company, who was raising
one OF its new poles Zone feet from
another) on Conduit street. The ex-
press wagon was forced to deliver a
package at the Colonial Theatre and
to avoid the pole in process of raising,
it drove too near the opposite side
walk and broke the Capitals sign.
The bill will be presented laier. There
is pole on every corner aud half
dozen or more in the block of some

Richard Brinsley Sheridan always
maintained that the Duke of We'll
lington would succeed in Portugal,
while his friend, General Tarleton,
had the opinion that he would fail.
The matter was one of constant dis
pute between the two.
Tarleton, who had been wrong,
grew obstinate; consequently, when
the news of the retreat of the
French at Torres Vedras arrived in
England, Sheridan, by way of a
taunt, said:
"Well, Tarleton, are you ON your
high horse still?"
"Oh, higher than ever" was the
reply. "If / was on high horse
before, l am on an elephant now"
mo, no, my dear fellow" said
the wit. "You were on an ass be-
fore, and you are on a mule now"

ago a Frenchman was sending fur

passed the collectors without ques-

when motor car sped swiftly across
the road, causing the driver of the
cart to pull uR suddenly. One of
the wheels became caught in some
car rails, and large and heavy
table came crashing to the ground.
The crowd which collected was as
tonished to find steady stream of

Face Forward.

Having set your face to the fu-
ture, go steadily and reliantly for
ward, for all that is to be is there.
The past is the place of the dead,
Of things that are not, and he who
holds steadfastly to it, deaf to the
call of the future, is already as one
dead. The world is full of those
who have thus ceased to live, and
to many Of them must we give pity,
for they are held by the tenderest
sentiments that spring from the
heart. Others hold to the past be-
cause Of irresolution, fearing to trust
to the hazard of the future.
The man who starts a-faring on
the way Of endeavor and because OF
obstacles or encouragement turns
backward is not likely to succeed in
any other direction. He is what is
familiarly known as "quitter," Q
term which implies lack of heart and
those high qualities admired in sue.
