IN MIDSUMMER BueINEss HAS
NOT STRUCK OLD sFAlRMoNT
VERY HARD, ACCORDING TO IN
TERvIEWs GIVEN OUT TO THE
WEST VIRelNIAN BY A NUMBER
OF MERCHANTS.

Ever since old Columbus set foot on
the terra firma OF America and the
spark of commercialism was lighted,
which has been glowing brighter and
brighter as the years go by-lt has
been generally and widely known
throughout this broad land that the
two of the Quletest months Of the year
are July and August. Just why this
is true one has yet to "riz" up and give
a plausible reason, some say one thing
and some the other; nevertheless, it's
quiet sixty days, but this this Is the
good part OF thes tory: A number of
business men were interviewed this
morning by reporter of the West
virginian and to the man every one
said that business this far this month
had been larger than during the same
period last summer. One business
iran in particular was very enthusias-
tic, saying; II have been in the con-
tracing business here for quite a
whiel but this summer have done
more work than ever before; have
painted and papered scores OF private
residences and a number Of business
houses. This is usually a very quiet
period in my business but there has
been no lull thus far adm have many
future contracts" Not one Of the
merchants nterrogated complained
about lack Of business and all said
that they looked forward to a larger
fall and winter business than last year
or the year before; that it aDepared
that as the years go by that business
increases in this city. Does that not
speak well for fair Falrmont?

HOKE PROBABLY 4 GOOD
PROPHET.

The news was sent out with much
from the Joe Brown head
quarters in Atlanta the other day that
Gov. Hoke Smith had admitted while
in Charlotte, n. c., that the outlook in
Georgia indicated the election of
Ex-Gov Brown as his successor.
That Gov. Smith would make such a
statement, even if he believed this 70
be the case, was hardly possible. A
further statement from him was ac-
cordingly to be expected. 1t came III
a positive declaration that he had said
nothing of the sort 1t was the other
Brown that the governor and senator
elect had picked as the winner at the
approaching primary. The North
Carolina reporter was simply not wise
to the fact that there is more than one
Brown in Georgia.
The opinion is growing that Pope
Brown is to be the winner. The fact
that Hoke Smith picks him as the
lucky man is apt 10 make many feel
that way and TO give the Pulaski coun-
ty mans stock boost.
The entrance Of Little Joe into the
field perceptibly weakened Judge
RusselIs possibilities. Then the Judge
has made some grieyous errors that
have redoundad to the advantage Of
Pope Brown His vacillating policy on
local option his alleged attacks on the
ministers, his unfortunate parody on
Nearer My God TO Thee" an offense
to many deyout Christians throughout
the state-all these unfortunate Incl
dents have married his prospects and
may reduce him a third instead of
second, position when the count is
made.
1t is really beginning to look now
as though the next Governor, as Hoke
Smith stated, would be Brown. The
race is getting TO be Brown sort of
affair. The prohis are not attacking
Little joe" Mrs. Armor said the
other day that Little Joe is really
good prohibitionist at heart. 50 whiih-
ever one wins the liqOor interests are
not apt to be in a position to claim it
as a great victory.

MR.. FETNER OF MACON
GIVES SOUND OPINION.
TpOp WaterwOrkS Situation IN
Americas.

Mayor Mathis is in receipt of letter
from Mr.. FeCner of Macon. wherein
he outlines his views upon the Water
Works situation in Americas, as he
knows it. Mr.. Fetner is master me-
chanfc of the Central of Georgia Rail
way shops in Macon and, therefore
familiar with the use of both steaI~
and electrically driven machinery.
In addition, Mr.. Fetner is Chairman
OF the Macon Water Works Com
mission, controlling the municipality
owned plant for which the city of Ma
con has just paid the enormous sum
of $750,000 in order that the people
might own and control their Water
Works system instead of the corpora
tons at whose mercy" they have been
in the past.
In his letter to Mayor Mathis Mr.
Fetner discusses the situation in
Americas, problem that the voters
will solve today.
Mayor Mathis, Americas, Georgia.
Dear Sir: Referring to our CONVEX
sation last afternoon in regard to your
water works question at Americus.
l regret very much that business
would not permit my coming to Amer
icus and going over the situations with
you, but as | understand it the pTOpO-
sition is the Power Company of Amer
icus will finnish you power for pump
ing at 2 IL cents per kilIowatt hour.
this power driving turbine pumps, and
in my opinion the citizens of Amer
iCus would make a Serious mistake in
accepting a proposition Of this kind.
When you consider the low efficiency
Of the turbine pump, together with the
high rate of power, as compared with
the steam driven pump such as you
outlined to me has been planned for
your works, you will find that you
will get very much more efficient
service from your steam plant than
from this power proposition.
Then there is an other and more
e1ious question to be considered, that
is surrendering in part your water
works to an outside corporation which
leaves you wholly dependent on the
poWew company for power, and the
efficiency and reliability of your plant
can never reach a higher standard
than that maintained by the power
company, over which you can have
absolutely no control.
In my opinion the only electric DOW
er that could be considered in con-
nection with the water works plant IS
the power furnished from some water
ompany or that from some steam driy
en- power company with an enormous
surplus of power, and there are very
lew cities in the state of Georgia that
would justify a steam driven electric
plant of sufficient size to furnish YOU
power at a rate that should be CON
sldered in connection with your City
water works, and in my Judgment
when the cost of power exceeds one
cent per killowatt hour it could not
be considered in connection with CITY
water plant.
Yours truly,
W. H. FETNER,
