The Pole Cats Change of Heart.

From time immemorial the pole cat
has been an Outcast among animals.
The world has respected him; it has
never loved him. There are certain of
his qualities and attributes which for
bid close acquaintanceship. But
now, thanks to a remarkable scientific
discovery, all this is to be changed
The pole cat is to have not only his
present place among the living beauti
full creatures of the out of doors, but
will bear message of fragrance to the
world as well. 1t is from Mississip
pi country weekly that we CLEAN the
glad tidings. A gentleman farmer of
that state, who is the proprietor Of a
chicken farm, has also a pole cat farm
near by it. Not long ago his chickens
fell sick. He mixed coal oil in their
feed and was surprised to find that the
next batch of eggs which his faithful
hens produced smelled strongly Of pc
trOleum. A bright idea dawned upon
him. His face flushed with the JOY of
anticipated discovery. His heart throb
bed wildly y-even as Newton's must
have beat when he noted with delight
that the apple did not fall up instead
of down. If the odor of oil was strong
in the output of the hens, why then !
Enough He had long hated the odor
of his pole cat farm. Now he mixes
lavender, beregamot and orange flow.
ers with the food which he gives the
pretty little animals. The results are
all that the most fastidious nature
could wish; a delicate and delightful
odor hangs about the pole cat farm
nova scent that vies with the violet
and puts the musk rose and the mag
nolia to shame. Thus is an animal of
lovely appearance but of terrible repu-
tation, transformed into a creature fit
to be the theme and inspiration of a
whole school of lyric poets. Don Mar

factory was able to utilize only an in
finitesimal part of the power of the
falls, and was so situated that it could
not find ready market for its pro-
ducts, and had difficulty in obtaining
supplies of raw material.
However, with the advancement in
electrical power the prospects of the
new company for success are very fiat
tering. Long distance transmission
cables running in both directions could
supply cheap power to both Chattanoo-
of electric power in manufacturing as
ures ready market for it. In addi-
tion to this the cables would pass
through such populous cities as Muir
freesboro, Shelbyville, Tullahoma,
Manchester, McMinnville and others
and the convenience of cheap electric
power would be a great benefit to
them.
There is also the possibility of the
power being used for the operation of
an electric interurban line between
Nashville and Chattanooga, or at least
between Nashville and the Middle
Tennessee towns. This project was al
so spoken of few years ago, and has
never been entirely abandoned by its
promoters.
The prospects of this great work be-
ing carried out i'll the near future are
bright The work of financing the un'
dertaking was well under way when
the disturbance of last fall came, and
naturally it has had to be postponed
until the passing of the panic. Now,
however, the hackers of the project art
in a position to push it, and i'll short
time it is hoped that the Caney Fori
power will be utilized in Nashville
factories Nashville Tennessean.

GREAT FALLS POWER

FALLS OF CANEY FORK
To Sell Electricity Generated
There in Nashville and
Other Cities.

The Great Falls Power Company,
corporation formed to develop and
market the 40, 600 horse power of the
great falls Of the Caney Fork, yester
day filed an application for an amend
ment to its charter increasing the cap
ital stock from SEQ, 600 to $62j, 900, and
this increase means that the company
is going to push forward its work, and
in comparatively short time will be
selling the power generated at the falls
in Nashville Chattanooga, and all the
intermediate points.
A meeting Of the stockholders was
held here on Wednesday night, and
Art J. Dyer of Nashville, was elected
president The following directors
were chosen: Charles H. Fisk, De-
troit, and Thomas G. Kittrell, Dan E.
McGugin and W. NJ. GOOdlett, Nash
vile. The larger part of the capital
stock is held in Detroit.
The purpose of the increase of the
stock is not to sell stock since none of
it will be put on the market, but to
enable the present holders of the stock
to be better represented and to better
the arrangements for the completion
of the financing of the company. The
power that is developed at the CaneY
Fork Falls is sufficient when marketed
to pay reasonable dividend on a
large amount of stock The new stock
is divided into three classes-$20O, 600
preferred, $50, 600 second preferred,
and 1915, 900 common.
OF course the financing of such a
large project always takes time, and
| it will be some little while before all
! the arrangements in regard to the
stocks and bonds are complete, and the
company is ready to begin actual
work on its plants and wires The
falls of the Caney Fork, located about
fourteen miles from McMinnville, and
on the line between White and Warren
counties, develop more horse power
than any other falls in the south, and
it is estimated that with modern
generating plant it would develop 40,

The big strike in Alabama was call

heavily. No concessions whatever
were made by the operators, who re
fused to even treat with the union.
Gov. Comers arbitrary stand, it Is
charged by the union leaders, made
them come to the decision to call the
strike off, as they could not win with
operators and estate officials both
against them. Some 90, 600 men will
now return to work, but at a 90 per
cent reduction, and the companies
will pick out those whom they wish to
employ.
The official order ending the strike
was as follows:
To the Mine Workers of Alabama:
On July 1. 1908, the organized mine
workers of Alabama were asked to ac-
cept reduction of 20 per cent. in
their wages and other conditions that
were intolerable. Rather than accept
you refused to work. Since then the
unorganized miners of Alabama joined
the United Mine Workers and declared
for living wages and the right to be-
long to a labor union. This right was
denied by the employers and the Offer
of the miners to arbitrate has been re-
fused by the operators with scorn.

Marvel, Ala.

Sbrciali N the Ne7gS.
For the benefit of the readers Of
the Seauachee Valley News | will try
and describe some of the features Of
this place. Marvel is situated nine
miles north of BlOCtOn, on the l.. q
N. r. R., and is owned and operated
by the Roden Coal Company, with B.
F. Roden, Pres. There are two seams
of coal. each averaging about Az feet
with a seam of rock of about 80 feet
separating them from each other. The
bottom slope has hard sand rock roof
and the top slope is covered by slate
ton which is very dangerous. The
slopes have been put down about eight
hundred feet and headings have been
turned off to the left and right. These
are all being worked by contractors
and the first coal was loaded into the
railroad cars on Thursday night at
$50.
A fine steel bridge about 25O feet in
length has been built across the creek
and grade about a mile in length has
been laid by the company. The hous-
es have four rooms and are painted IN
various cOlors. A fine concrete water
tank is under a course Of construction,
and is estimated to hold 80, 600 gallons
The water will be pumped from Saw
age Creek. a distance of two miles
We are at present very badly situated
for drinking water, but are in hopes
they will soon have the pipe line laid,
which will give us a goOdly supply OF
