Or. Keller to be Postmaster.

Mr. ]. H. Riley, who has been
postmaster at Buffalo for some
years. has not allowed his name to
be considered again among the ap-
pointnents to be made. His 9TH

The many friends of DR.. George

there is no other applicant. it is
safe to conclude that DR.. Keller

PURCHASE OF ELECTRIC POWER.
Deal Made Wednesday to Supply
City If Union With Day and
Night Current.

A special meeting of the city
council in conference with Capt. F.
M. Farr. of the water and light
commission, was held Wednesday
afternoon to consider the purchase
OF power furnished from elsewhere.
and the proposition Of continuing
the present city plant.
After liberal debate and due con-
SideratiOn, the decision was
reached that it would be cheaper TO
buy the power elsewhere. The
bid OF the Southern Power Co., OF
Charlotte, was accepted and Mes
srs. Gault and Perrin authorized
to close the deal with that com,
pany at once. and have the power
furnished as soon as possible.
The Southern Power Co. manu-
factures electricity at the Catawba
plant, six miles above Rock Hill
on the Catawba river, and is erect
ing another plant at Catawba Falls.
DR.. Gill Wylie, OF New York, is
the president OF the company, and
MI, VIM. Lee, OF Charlotte, sec
r oi:i Vi:c-prcs;dEnt. Mr. Lee will
be in the city today and the deal
will be closed.
1t is understood that the line OF
poles or the course of the wires
will run from Catawba to Spartan
vurG. thence TO Lockhart Mills,
thence to Lockhart Junction. and
on to Union. The right of way is
being secured now.
The new arrangement will fur
nish the city with day current as
well as night. And we are assur-
ed the cost is to be much smaller
than under the old order. The
commissioners here hope for the
completion of the work by the
amonth Of June at least. They
have a ten-year contract with the
company.
The old plant here in Union will
be kept in repair and running Or
der in case of emergency, and for
reserve.
The above arrangements, plans,
etc, have been brought about by
the untiring efforts of Messrs.
Gault and Perrin, the committee
ofthe city council. On today they
will perfect the plans and close the
deal with Mr.. Lee, who is here for
that purpose. i.

School Building Dedicated.

Inc negroes of Union met last
Tuesday in great celebration to
dedicate their new school building
on Macbeth street An elaborate
program was carried out. the chief
feature OF which was an address to
the negroes by Senator Benz. F.
Townsend. Mr.. Townsend spoke
at some length on the true mean
ing of education for both white.
and colored races; namely, the
threefold development of the man
mental and moral. These
three, he said, were mutually de-
pendent one upon the other, and
without any one of the three, the
product was uneven and unround-
ed. Mr. Townsend gave the ne
groes some very wholesome coun-
sci, the result of careful study OF
conditions. Indeed, many people
declare his speech one of the great
est Of the kind ever made in I'm
ion. ~
The negroes have, with the as
sistance OF many white people
erected very handsome and con.
venient school house. And tn
exercises Tuesday were to ded
cate it to the Improvement of thei
race.
