More about the Gigantic Un-
dertaking of the Southern
Power Company--Progress
Of the Work of Harvesting
the CatawbaRiver.
Charlotte Observer.


mensity of the development of
the Southern Power Company at
Great Falls, S. O., until the scene
has been visited and the thousand
and one details of the work eX-
planned. To the casual spectator
who may perchance pass by, the
first impression is that Of confu-
sion, lack Of order and general
disarrangement Of parts. 1t looks
as If there was no one plan being
followed but that the several
works, scattered along the river
for distance Of more than a
mile, were nothing more than a
play house of Clyclops boy.
The incOngruity of the scene is
striking. Out there in a wilder
ness, away from any city, town
or village, between two immense
hills, hundreds of men are work
ing as if for dear life, building
an immense wall. The wall is
really a dam, but there is nothing
to indicate it for there is no water
visible. One unconsciously asks
the question, what does all this
mean anyhow"
1t is but necessary TO watch
the progress of the work for a
short time to learn that there is
system and order in everything
that is done. One general scheme
has been planned, in the COM
pletion of which all the parts will
figure. The task is 80 immense
and the amount of work to be
done so vast, that it must needs
be done in parts, all of which are
directed to one common end,
namely, the construction of one
of the largest hydro electric
plants in America.
The Great Falls of the Cataw-
- ba are a series Of rapids whic h
are situated 80 miles below Char
lotte and midway between Ches
ter, Winnsboro, Camden and
Lancaster, thriving South Caro-
lima mill centers.
The river falls 175 feet in 7
miles, affording three fine sites
for hydro-electric development.
When work was ready to be
gin, surveys were made Of the
adjacent country and it was
found that by building a dam
out into the stream at the middle
of the rapids, the current might
be turned into the bed of a nat
ural canal ard thus the Develop
ment greatly facilitated. Six
thousand feet below nature had
placed two large hills on either
side Of the canal and it was evi
dent the main dam could be
thrown across there at relative
ly small cost. Work was COM
menced in the spring OF 1905 and
today the dam and headgates to
the canal are more than two
thirds completed, the greater
part Of the bulkhead- wall and
power house is finished, the
draught tubes and water wheel
castings are nearly all set, and
the transformer house is we'll un.
der way. A railway line, capable
of handling the heaviest cars,
has been run from Fort Lawn to
the Falls, a distance of ~ miles,
and the river on either side has
been cleared of trees and under.

ROOMMATE IS
FREED BY COURT

Boston. oct. 1s.-The case against Shaun
Kelly. the Harvard student who is
charged with assaulting a patrolman
which has been before the authorities in
different ways for the past two weeks
was dismissed today by Associate Justice
wentworth Of the municipal court
The case grew out Of the attempt OF Of
fcers to arrest party of Harvard men
on Boston common, Theodore Roosevelt.
Jr.. and Shaun Kelly, his roommate, be-
ing in the partyt
In dismissing the case Judge Went
worth commented at some length upon
II. saying that the efforts of the police
to put a stop TO the disturbance were
to be commended but that they had ex-
ceeded their authority in arresting the de-
fendant. Kelly, when by their own admis-
sion before the court, they were not salts
fed that he had committed misdemean-
or.
The Judge held also that with Kelly
was under the belief that his arrest was
illegal and that Hpnder the circumstances
the resistance which he onered was not
of undue violence
This is the case in which Patrolman
Lawrence FRAZIER was knocked down and
considerably injured in an encounter with
the students
The court held that the incident was
matter of -beEs-pl playing among them
selves: that they believed with reason
that the patrolmen who were in plain
clothes intended 20 assault them when
they offered Interference with the stu
dents sport and that the young men had
a right 10 offer reasonable self-protection
Under these circumstances the court held
that even If officer FRAZIER had been
struck or pushed with sufficient force Tor
him to fan over a bench the person re-
sponsible did not use undue force. The
court then found Kelly not guilty and
ordered the case dismissed.

1ntermarriage OF Races Prohib-

BY some unaccountable oversight the
editor of Queries and Answers understood
a correspondent to ask what States pro-
hibited the intermarriage OF races, and
replied TO the question as it was under
stood. 1t turns out that the correspon-
dent asked what States permitted the
intermarriage of races. The error was
so palpable that 1t needs hardly to be
corrected, but for the sake of accuracy
we repeat that the following States pro-
hbit the intermarriage of Wees:

An Old Idea In New Dress.

We have received from Mr.. Seth L.
Farnsworth, of Los Angeles, Call n copy
of circular issued by him. in which he
tells the government how 1T may build
the canal without issuing bonds, and
thereby save the taxpayers the snug
sum of $50. 100000 In interest. Mr.. Farms
worth suggests that the government im-
mediutely issue slCO, 100000 canal construc-
ton money, which be made legal tender
for all purposes, and that this money
be placed on deposit with the various
national banks throughout the country.
to be checked out by the government as
fast as needed to pay for material or
labor In the building of the canal. and
to be redeemed and retired from circula-
ton by the ship tolls as fast as collected.
This Is not new in principle, but 1t is
interesting. and the question arises, as
II does in all such connections, why
should the government ever issue bonds.
or hoard gold. or levy taxes? Why not
put the presses to work and print all the
money it needs for all purposes?

Mistletoe.

From what does mistletoe originate, and
why does it grow more abundant on red
oak trees? d. II. and H. l..
The mistletoe is parasite, growing on
trees of several varieties, from seed. The
mistletoe of this country is called false
mistletoe" by naturalists, the true species
being peculiar to England. and to some
parts of the Continent. 1t is not true that
the mlstletoe of England or America
grows most frequently on the red oak.
The English variety, at least. is found
more rarely on the oak than on the APP
pie. thorn, maple. locust, linden, walnut
or willow.
