Prosperity In The South Causes
Soldier Famine

Owing to the very many opportuni-
ties for soldiers, who are being dis
charged at the expiration oftheir tearm
of sevice, to secure positionsa good pay
the army is is having hard time get
ting these men to reenlist. Out at Fort
Mcpherson, whore the Seventeenth
United States infantry is at present
stationed, very many of these soldiers
are being discharged almost every day.
The reason for this is that the men
have lust returned from two years ser
vice in the Philippines, and most OF
them enlisted In the army several
months before shipping for duty in the
Far East. AS they have now been IN
Atlanta several months, this means
that their three years have expired.
Armed with their discharged papers,
the soldiers have only to make their
way down town, and let the fact be
known that they are open to business
engagement and pCsitious are offered
them by railroads, business houses
wanting clerks, teamsters and en-
ployees in many lines. This prosperi-
ty is worrying Uncle Sam, as he is al
ways particularly anxious to secure
the enlistment of old soldiers. Officers
state that never before has the percent
OF reenlisted been 80 small and all be-
cause the scarcity of labor in the south
affords openings for these soldiers such
as they have never known In the past.

It is not question of their having to
apply for positions. It is simply up to
the time expired soldier TO take bis
choice of many offers according to the
statements made at the garrison. Rail.
road officials hear Of men who are to be
discharged, and solicit their business
as the government allows them trans
portation to the city wherethey enlist.
ed. Bnt railroad officials say that
very few of these are returning to their
old homes, but are accepting business
opportunities In Atlanta, Georgia and
the south. AS the recruiting officers
are also having hard time trying to
persuade men Of the advantages of
army life at $l3 per month when even
laborers can get $1:50 day, and con-
slant employment, the prospect seems
to be for depleted ranks among the
regiments stationed In the south that
will have to be filled with "rookies"
as the recruits are called from sections
outside ofDixie.

The following qecial from Ander-
son will prove Interesting reading TO
the people df Elbert county. For q
numder of months the development OF
the water, power at Gregg shoals and
Cherokee Shoals has been talked of.
Mr.. O. 81. Sheffield. of Atlanta, the pro-
moter of the enterprise has been work
ing constantly on the venture, and
now it seems that his fondest dreams
have materialized into q reality. The
article speaks for itself, which reads
as follows :,
"Application will be msdel to the
secretary of state at once for commits.
sion for the Savannah River Power
Com pany, and the company will be
formally organised IN about two weeks.
The company will develop Gregg and
Cherokee Shoals, two important water
powers on the. Savannah river. The
corporators Of the company will be: DR..

rate from the Anderson Water, Light
and Power Company. though: for the
present the two companies will occupy
the same offices. o., ;. -
"Mr. g. M. Orr this morning made
the following statement concerning
the new company: ..,
-"The development at Gregg Shoals
will be begun In the next thirty days
where 2, 500 horse power of the river
will be, turned into electricity and
q large block of 1t brought to Ander-
son 80 that all the present needs for
electric power for small industries will
be supplied by next fall We contem-
plate erecting a stone dam at Gregg
Shoals 1000 feet long, twelve feet wide
at the base. The: contracts for the
W heel plant will be let outsin the
next thirty days. The cost Of this
partial development will be $500, 900:
The money arrangements have all
peen perfected and the work will 60
forward at once. Mr.. J. E. Sirrene Of
Greenville, is engineer. The princi-
pal office Of the company will be at
Anderson, although the probability is
that there will be lines run to Elbef-
ton, Ga, Lowdensville, Calhoun Falls,
Abbeville and Greenwood, 8. c., just
as soon as the second development at
Cherokee Shoals ia completed. Cher
zee Shoals are situated In sight of
the Seaboard Air Line bridge across
the Savannah river, about two miles
from Calhoun Falls. When both Of
these shoals are developed they will
aggregate about 5000 horse power.
1.-THE present development at Gregg
Shoals 10 about four miles from Barnes
station, seventeen miles from Ander-
son and is about the same distance
from Elberton and Abbeville."
The officers of the new company
have not yet been fully determined,
DR.. Orr says, DR.. Orr, himself may be-
come president. but he Is anxious for
his son. Mr.. 81. A. Orr who ia now
living in Atlanta, and Is the southern

Representative Wyatt Aiken ia the

against the appointment of John g..

stated to-day and gave bis reasons.
::'Soms time ago, - he said, II came to
the conclusion that Capt, Capers was
was great injustice to the State, to
both Democrats and Republicans, to
have him In an office of such RESPONSE
bllity. Numerous persons complained
to me and have no doubt complained
to other representatives about 1t and
as no one else seemed to take the mat
? ter up, determined to do 1t, and as do
not wish to be thought half hearted
in this or anything else, you may say
that for several months have pur-
sued the subject persistently and re-
ientlessly. )" ...
Here Mr.. Aiken stopped, then after
Q little added: And you might say
have called on the president and the
attorney general number Of times
and I have placed with them all the
letters and complaints that have come
to me. ~
"What other charges besides the one
connecting him with the distilling
company were filed?" Mr.. Aiken was
asked. ... .i
"Oh, 1t is not necessary to go into
that. / will only say that they are of
public nature concerning bis actions
as district attorney and especially as
Republican referee for South Carolina.
There were all sorts Of complaints
about thesppointments he recommend
ed, but there is no use to 20 into par.
.ticulars. There is no manner of doubt
that he is unfit for the place and the
agents Of the department of Justice
who made the investigation evidently
patisfied the president and Attorney
General Moody as to this"

HNo, not the agents themselves. u
only furnished what information ]
could get hold Of to the department OF

There is general disposition on the
part Of the South Carroll delegation
herefto let Republican politics alone.
Representative Aiken says he is 80 In
clined himself as q general thing, but
that in this case he felt 1t was his duty
to bis district and to the whole State
to do what he could to rid the State ef
an unworthy man.
" Yes, I told the president that there
were good Republicans in South Caro-
lima and that would not ask him to
! appointa Democrat, but to appoint
; some man like Mr.. Cochran or some
others mentioned. who had the re-
spect of all the people, Democrats as
well as Republicans. No, it was not 81
personal matter, I felt 1t my duty to
