Elba. Oct. l6-(speciail-At meeting of the Democratic Executive Committee yesterday at this place the contest of J. A 1 Garniey taTor tor nePre A. Carnley and against K. H. Airing ton. . ~
 This. is not believed to be the end of the matter. as MT. Arrington's friends cortenu that the Committee had no authority for so acting on the matter. and Mir. Arlington has not defended himself fin the contest
 MT. Carnley's friends hold the op- posing contention. It appears that the heated August primary did not settle Coffee's politics. and that the end will no, come until after cSs,rnan SoTsmper os s the Executive Committee of Conee's De- mocracy: during the primaries and du. ring the contest, the vice chairman or the Committee, MT; a,.t.a. mctu,!ousn; ,s,th Rre Mccullough the contest papers were originally filed; on this action there is much talk: some say that MT. McCul- side and some take the opposing view: Both MT. Arlington and MT. Carnley are prominent young men. and each have had unusually successful politicai careers. Mir Arlington having repre- sented this District in the Senate for six years Ga term extended by the Constitutional Convention two yearsl and MT. Carnley was several terms | Both ave warm friends and partfsans, so Jefferson is not the only County that still has an interesting political situation.
 Today the Pea River Power Com pany began regular service to its pat ron" in rlba; TOT ten days 1t had been giving free service both 10 the munich pality and private consumers or eIec- tric current. in order to get its ma chinery and service lines thoroughly adjusted before making charge: The streets of Elba have thirty arc arc stores and residences are using the current largely. The service is gen. orally commended.
 The power is furnished rom the Beaver Dam dam, on which the power company has lease: This is a mere brook, but it runs a large generator. a big ginnery, and still has water pour ing over the dam
 built a dam on Pea River near Elba :: after It's completion 1t was found that unless power could be supplied to ble to profitably use the large dam However, the people of Elba refused to allow their town to be lighted With anything except current generated by one of the streams here, desiring to have a practical demonstration of the wonderful water power here in active work They have it when small

 The comparison is more apt when It is known that Pea River. four miles above the dam of the power company, is a large stream; that after the run ming in to it of some dozen streams
 between there and the dam. each of which is as large or larger than BeaV- CT Dam. and one of them is little river Pea River appears little larger at the dam than four miles above. There certainly appears to the mo- vice to be at least fifty times as much water running down Pea River as down Beaver Dam Creek. All of which is encouraging to the people of this entire section, for 1t means cheap cleo. tric current for factories at Elba and surrounding towns, for the Troy and Elba parties who have rehabilitated the power company and put new life and money in it, are preparing to en- large and make more substantial, and put to work the big Pea River dam mentioned above.
