pair of mules and plodded on his
way to Mountain Home.
A wagon loaded with railroad
ties, driven by James A. George,
who lives south of Arcadia, was
struck by No. 10, a north bound
passenger train, as he was going
across the railroad track at the
Rock Cut crossing, about a mile
south of Arcadia, last Friday
morning. The wagon was COM
pletely demolished, the harness
jerked from off the horses and the
ties scattered in every direction,
but Mr.. George and the horses
escaped injury. 1t is said that the
train was running fast, being late,
and gave no signal as it APP
preached the crossing, which is a
mighty dangerous one at best.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Trauernicht
were in Pennington several days
this week visiting the formers
brothers and their families. While
here MI. Trauernicht, as is his
usual custom when in Pennington,
made the News an appreciated call.
He tells US that he has sold out
his tailoring business at Bismarck
to John Houk, one of his faithful
and trusted employees, after a con-
tinuous and very successful ex-
p%erience covering a period of
thirty-two years at Middlebrook
and Iron Mountain, the latter two
or three years having been spent
at Bismarck. Mr.. Trauernicht's
shop has, perhaps, made more fine
clothes for particular dressers all
over this section than any other
firm this side of st. Louis. Not
needing all Of his earnings in the
tailoring business, he invested in
various enterprises, such as bank,
hotel, milling, telephone and other
interests, all of which proved
profitable until he is now able
when almost in the prime of his
life to retire from hard work and
take life easy the rest of his days.
He is a jovial fellow and but for
his untiring industry would be
able to enjoy a good long and
well-earned rest. We were de-
lighted to hear from him that he
is thinking some of moving to
Pennington. People here would
certainly be glad to welcome Mr..
Trauernicht and his excellent fam.
lily as citizens of our town. We
already have a trio of Trauernicht
families here but a quartet would
be still better .-Farmington Neps.

A Golden Anniversary.

Ed. Register-On last Saturday
night a very pleasing aud enter
tanning affair occurred at the home
Of u genial friend, Mr.. F. M.
Anderson, who resides on the
county farm east Of Ironton; the
occasion being the fiftieth ami
versary of the marriage of Mr..
and Mrs. F. M. Anderson. Mr..
and Mrs. A. had spent the day
with their son, who lives between
Pilot Knob and Middlebrook, and
it was during their absence that
the immediate members of the
family had so completely planned
the surprise which awaited their
return.
At 1870 o'clock P. M. a number
of invited guests, the male part OF
whom had bells with them, began
to arrive, and when everything
was in readiness, just about the
time that Mr.. and Mrs. A. were
ready to retire for the night, the
report of a gun broke the stiffness
which appeared to reign supreme,
whereupon the bells were turned
loose in all fury for at least five
minutes. MI. A. now came to the
door, and with all kindness, said,
"boys, what does. all this mean?''
On being assured that it was an
old-fashioned c%harivari, he invited
US in. In the parlor we were en-
tertained for half an hour, when a
pleasant voice invited us all in to
supper. Into the dining room we
went, sat down to the table loaded
with good things, properly cooked
and nicely arranged. After sup
per we repaired again to the par
Tor, whore we were royalty enter
tanned for a couple Of hours with
the most up-to- date renditions OF
the graphaphone. Thus the
golden wedding of Mr.. and Mrs.
F. M. Anderson was celebrated,
and at II o'clock we babe all good
night and returned to our respec-
tive homes, with a debt Of graf
itude to Mr.. and Mrs. f. M. a.,
and with many wishes for their
future success and happiness.

MEANS MUCH FOR STATE.
Development Of Water Power in the
Piedmont.

The machinery equipment of the
great hydro-electrical station of the
Southern Power company at Ninety
Nipe-Islands on Broad river has now
been tried and within a very short
time will be carrying a full load.
Connection with the system will be
had at four points. Glover, Kings
Mountain, Shelby and with the line
going to Greenville. The capacity OF
the station is approximately $4,000
horsepower.
With this station in operation-the
first and only one outside the Cat
awba valley-and with the Catawba
Great Falls and Rocky Creek plants
running, the Southern power COM
pany will have approximately 100,-
900 of hydro-electrical horsepower
available for commercial use. Those
who have visited the Ninety-Nine
Islands station declare that it is one
of the most interesting Of the plants
owned and operated by the South
ern Power company.
In this connection the following
from the last issue Of The Wall
street Journal of New York, the most
conservative and influential of all fin
ancial publications, headed Hydro
Electric Power Widely Used in the
South" will be Of interest.
..'In the application of hydro-elec-
trio power to manufactures over a
large territory, the South has proba-
bly, made as good a showing as any
other part of the country. A single
plant, that of the Southern Power
company, has now in operation over
500 miles Of transmission lines with
more than fifty sub-stations, 80 per
cent. of whose power is used by cot
ton mills.
spread lies in fan-like shape with the
center near the border between
North Carolina and South Carolina,
in the Piedmont district. From north
to south the points served by current
from ~Greenville, S. C. to Greensboro,
N. c., are 200 miles apart by rail.
From east to west the distance is
about half as great, with Monroe, n.
c., on the east and Hickory, in the
mountain regions, on the west. With
in this distance there are three main
electric trunk lines, each of which
serves not only the larger towns, but
even the smaller industries which
come within reach of the company's
lines.
'"The capacity of such a power out
fit as this to attract capital and to
build up industries has been prov
ed in various ways. Among other
things it has guaranteed a perman-
ency to the development of manufac-
lures of which probably no other
single factor could have assured. 1t
has helped to locate industries under
climatic and agricultural conditions
which will go to keep down the cost
of living for fuel and food. Farm
ing in the Piedmont district has long
been of a self-sustaining kind. With
the growth of a manufacturing pop
ulation local markets have been pro-
vided, whereby trucking and the or
binary rotation crops have been much
more profitable than hitherto.
Power has laid the basis for profits
in every district which is in any
wise dependent on hydro-electric SER
vice."
