between the business of the conference
and the numerous social functions that
had been planned for the occasion. their
time was pretty steadily occupied from
the hour Of their arrival to the hour Of

ELECTRICAL DEVELOPMENT.

Official announcement, says the
Charlotte Observer, has been made by
the Southern Power company OF its
plans shortly to commence work on
two fresh power sites, one at the Nine
ty-Nine Islands on the Broad river, six
miles south of Blacksburg, S. c., and
the other at Rocky Creek, two miles
below the Great Falls station, on the
Catawba river The development at
the Ninety Nine Islands will produce
16. .00G while that at Rocky Creek, will
produce 10000 Of electrical horse-pow
er. The total cost Of these two devel-
opments will approximate $3,000,000.
Both will be completed by January 1st
1908.
Mention was made a few days ago
of the addition Of $2,500,000 to the cap
ital of the Southern Power company
That corporation now has the largest
capital Of any having headquarters in
Charlotte. 1t owns the water rights
for 10 miles along the Catawba river
and controls the following named pow
er sites: At the Catawba Falls, near
Rock Hill, S. c., at Mountain Island,
near Newton; at the Horseford Shoals,
near Lancaster, S. c.; at the Ninety
Nine Islands, near Blacksburg, S. c.;
at Great Falls, near Fort Lawn, S. c.,
and the Wateree power, near Camden,
s. c. The 10000 of electrical horse
mower which will be generated at
these different points will be transmit
ted to cover a territory $50 miles In
length and 100 miles in width. This
territory stretches from Taylorsv1lle,
on the north, to Columbia, s. c., on
the south; and from Greenville. s. Co.
IN the west, to Darlington, s. c., on
the east. Cotton mills and manufac-
turing plants of all kinds dot this sec
ton, to all of which this power in time
will be available.
The Catawba Falls development near
Rock HILL S. c., was the first finished.
Its 10000 of electrical horse-p power was
disposed of very shortly after it had
been placed upon the market. The big
DEVELOPMENT at Great Falls, ten miles
below Fort Lawn, S. c., was then be-
gun. It's 10000 of electrical horse
power will be available early in Janua-
nv. Already between $4,000 and 10000
horse power or about one-half OF this
supply, has been sold. Negotiations are
pending for. the remainder. The off1-
cials OF the Southern Power company
believe that the entire output of the
Great Falls station will be sold before
a single wheel turns. After the first
of the year, there will be little power
available from the present develop
ments.
Realizing this, the officials Of the
company met some time ago and agreed
to begin a development which would
meet the demands of this territory for
some time to come. They determined
to open up as quickly as possible, not

The following extract from a letter
from Mr.. John w. Hill, septuagena-
rian resident Of Waterbury, Connecti-
cut, who spent his boyhood in this vi
cinity will probably prove Of passing
int crest to some of our older readers.
The letter was addressed to a son of
one of Mr.. Hills boyhood friends, and
II contained virtual promise Of q WIS.,
it to Yorkville next spring. Mr.. Hill
says: i've carried your letter around
in my pocket ever since I received 1t,
and have read 1t over many Gimes. You
bring to mind the old place very WV
idly and the post cards seem like old
accuaintances and remember every
place in old Main street, and the names
Of the old residents you mention are
perfectly familiar. My father went
south in 1887 or 'S8 to work for man
by the name of Thos. Suggs, who came
north and bought clock movements
(wooden at that time) and hired faith
er to go south and make the cases for
the m and he, Suggs, peddled the clocks
about the country. In the spring OF
| '39 we, (mother, sister and u moved
south and lived in an old log cabin
some three or four miles from York
VILE, near where father worked-Mr
Suggs having the upper part Of an old
grist mill for his work shop, as near as
I can recollect. We lived in the cabin
about year, think, then moved into
the village, when father went into CO.
partnership with a man by the name
Of Parlsh-I think-in the manufac-
ture Of furniture, etc., but the business
did not prove success, and in the
fall Of "A we pulled up stakes and came
north and home again." Mr.. Hill is In
his seventy third year. He was post
master at Waterbury, Conn.,, from 1858
to March, 1885, and for the past six
teen years has had charge Of the mon
ey order department of the Waterbury
Inostofiee.
