taken together before it reached a
point where it appeared practical,
as no two of them, no three of
them, or ten or twenty of them,
taken together would have been
worth what it would cost to buy the
necessary rights and construct a
dam across tho Savannah river.
Therefore this number of cit;z
of Georgia and South Carolina, all
owners of the land, had to be dealt
with, for if any lesser number had
been dealt with and the proposition
decreased, l know to my sorrow
that the above objection would have
made it prohibitive.
For this reason it is evident on
its face that no individual land own
er had anything but farming land as
far as power value was concerned.

ians and the two Georgians, like
fools who rush in where angels
fear to tread" unhesitatingly tack
led the congress of the United
States which was then in session,
and after four months there were
granted by congress the right
(which was later approved by the
war Department. to put a dam
across the Savannah river at or near
the point named, hedged about with
many restrictions.
The proposition 80 far had no
northern capital in it, / add my as
sociates remember this painfully
and very distinctly, but only the
cash that the four Carolinians and
the two Georgians could command,
which was decidedly limited. And
for two or three years thereafter no
others were interested in it. During
those two or three ysars every effort
was made in Augusta, in Georgia,
and in South Carolina to get up the
necessary amount of money to de-
7elop it. But not one twentieth of
the money necessary could be Sc
cured on promise to pay," much
less The cash assured. The effort was
made with many of the land own
ers, who have since been paid large
amounts, to get them to take stock
in the proposition later when it
could be financed for their land that
would be affected. But in no in
stance would stock be accepted by
any one that owned any land.
For these two or three years it
was laughed at, and l was personal
ly made good deal of fun Of by
many, for trying to do such thingN
that required so much money and
the lands Of so many different peo-
pie.
In this will be found the true
and real reason why these lands
should not be looked on IS power
possibilities, unless taken collective
ly, and as shown in this case, it re-
quired one hundred aud sixteen

There was every effort made on my
part and my associates to get up the
necessary amount of such co-opera-
ton, but it was a practically impos-
sible thing to do.
There has now been bought and
paid for (at prices far in excess of
farm laud values) approximately
ninety to ninety-fve per cent of the
necessary fowage or bondage rights,
leaving only ten Of the original one
hundred aad sixteen pieces unset
tied for; before any condemnation
was thought necessary. And every
effort was made to settle these few
remaining onas with a cash con-
sideration, even 1T far higher than
their value W.: known to be, before
it was conc!,,dr.l to bo necessary to
use the right conveyed by the leSis-
lature oI the stats of South Carroll

This condemning of land is not
really what it sounds like. With
the charter in hand from the state,
and right by general law in Georgia
to condemn, the Georgia Carolina
Power Company could proceed to
construct its dam without hindrance
from any one or fear of injunction,
other than the supervision o. the
war department, and those with
whom it had not been able to ar
range settlement would have the
legal right to bring suit against the
company for damages that came
to them by the building of such
dam, and such a suit, or suits,
would be tried in Edgefeld county
before an Edgefeld jury.
This action would undoubtedly
come in the next few years, but the
fact that the company had not been
able TO arrange with all Of the land
owners that would be affected, and
that the company therefore would
be liable in the hereafter to suit,
would make it hard TO dispose of
the bonds to put up the plant with,

Beautiful Home Wedding
Edgefield.

IoSSAIGAN.
The numerous friends in Edge
field of Rev. Patrick Henry Bussey
and Miss Eileen Watson QUITS have
been intensely interested in the
coming marriage of these popular
and highly esteemed young people
of our town and county, and many
of them were charmed at being in
vited to be present at the delightful
hole wedding occasion on We'd
nesday afternoon at o'clock, at the
well appointed home Of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. p. QUITS, when
Rev. Geo. w. Bussey of Green
wood, and DR.. NJ. d. Jeffries, the
brides pastor, performed the cere-
mony.
The decorations in the room,
where the ceremony took place were
in green and white, an arch forming
beautiful altar, over which hung
a handsome wedding bell, covered
with white chrysanthemums. White
canvass covered the walls, and floor,
over which on the walls were fes-
toons of Southern smila1 and on
the mantels vases of beautiful white
chrysanthemums and ferns.
From across the hall the bridal
party entered, little Miss Edith
QUITS. a sister of the bride, and
Mamie Zimmerman, a niece of the
groom, entering first. Following
these were Miss Ida Zimmerman
and Miss Edwardina Blalock; then
little Isabelle Boone and Robert
QUITS. The maid of honor was Miss
Ruby Watson and then the bride
entered with her father, j. P. QUITS,
the groom meeting the party at the
altar. when the marriage was SOL
emnized by Rev. Geo. W.. Bussey
of Greenwood, an uncle of the
groom, assisted by DR.. M. D. jeff
ries, pastor of the Baptist church.
Preceding and during the ceremony
music of appropriate character gave
color to the occasion. Mrs. John r.
Tompkins sang Loves old sweet
song," and Miss Thelma Bailey fol-
lowed with violin selection, both
accompanied on the piano by Mrs.
Mamie N. Tillman, who also played
the wedding march and accompa-
MED the marriage ceremony ina
soft sweet melody.
While the guests were waiting
for the entrance of the bridal party,
they enjoyed inspecting the beauti-
full presents of cut glass, hand
painted china and linen which were
tastefully arranged in the parlor.
There were other and more sub
stantial gifts, among them hassssass
some rug, and a checl, for one hun
dred and fifty dollars, the latter the
gift of the brides father.
Among the out-of-town guests
present were Mr.. and Mrs. P. H.
Bussey, MIR. and Mrs. 0. O. Tim
norman, Mrs. Martha Kenrick, Mr..
and Mrs. George Bussey. Mr.. s. M.
Cooper, Of Ninety Six, Mr.. Joseph
Nixon of North Augusta, and 9th
ers.
EdgeGeld has been interested in
Mr.. Bussey since he was student
here at the S. G. G. l. and his
friends have followed him as he
was student at Peabody and dur
ing his years of teaching, and then
as student and graduate of the
Theological Seminary at Louisville,
and now as he begins his minister
al careerin our own state, at Harts-
vile.
Miss Eileen has been one of the
leaders among our young women in
every good work, and as a teacher
in our town and county was very
popular and greatly beloved. Their
future will be Of great interest to
