PREPARING FOR POLK COUNTY
SPRING POLITICS.
Curb Stone Chat With Several PrOni.
nent Local Politicians.

That the coming city election this
spring will be alively affair is the opin-
ion of some of the best posted local
politicians. The democrats, although
with clear working majority of the
voters in the city have already begun
talking up various candidates for the
position Of Mayor and two vacancies
among the city fathers.
Some little criticisms have been lev
ied upon the heads of the present mem
bers of the council in thei ractions dur
ing the past year. The board is COM
posed of four democrats and two re-
publicans an da republican mayor.
With very little funds in the city treas
urer ever since last election and vast
amount Of unfinished work to COM
plete the present board has been at a
considerable disadvantage. Managing
the city affairs as accurate as they
would their own private busine~- the
members of the board have accom-
plished a great many results in the
permanent improvement of the city.
Among those spoken about for can
didates for mayor are C. e. Brooks,
democrat, cashier of the Citizens bank,
J. q. Shipman, democrat, OF the law
firm Of Smith, Shipman & Justice. W. ]
Davis, progressive, president Of the
First Bank & Trust company, r. G.
Clarke, progressive, proprietor of the
Clarke Hardware company.

distance of six miles, in the establish

That the Manufacturers Power Com
pany viii be in operation within the
next twelve months is an absolute fact
according to a fifty year franchise is
sued this company by the city coun-
Gil of Spartanburg to permit the trans
mission line to enter the city for the
purpose Of furnishing power and light
The oficials Of this company have
at various times expressed their de-
sire to furnish power and lights In Hen
dersonville. Owing to some litigations
in court the new company has been
unable to progress very rapidly on the
mammoth plant near Saluda. The sur
veys have all been made and work is
said to have started.
The following from the Spartanburg
Herald is Of interest:
City council Monday night granted a
5o-year franchise to the Manufacture
ers' Power company, company COM
posed of local capitalists who are in
terested in the development of a
hydro-electric power plant on Green
river, near Saluda, N. c., to enter
Spartanburg with its transmission
lines for the purpose Of furnishing
power and light. Under the terms
of the franchise actual work is t
begin with 12 months and the plant
is to be completed and power furnish
ed to Spartanburg within three years
time.
Big Development Planned.
The application for the franchise
was presented by John A. Law, pres
ident of the Centred National bank
and Saxon mills, who stated to coun-
Gil that his company had under con-
sideration the development of a large
power company which, when complet-
red, would not only mean big thing
for Spartanburg, but for towns in the
upper part Of the county and in Hen
derson county, North Carolina. The
! parties interested in the development
Of water power on Green river are
local people, he said, including w. S.
Montgomery, president; John A. Law,
| secretary and treasurer; H. L. Bomar,
Joseph Lee, of Landrum; George A.
Ladshaw and W. A. Law, the latter a

Work to Begin SOeR.
Mr.. Law stated that his company
proposed to begin operations just as
sooon as franchises could be secured
from the town officials of Landrum
Inman, Campobello, Hendersonville
and other towns, where the company
proposed to sell light and power. He
asked that the franchise be granted
for term Of so years in order that
the company may be in a position to
arrange to sell bonds for long term
of years.
Under the terms of the franchise,
the Manufacturers Power company
ha sthe right to erect poles along the
build and maintain plant for fur
nishing power for lighting, heating
and manufacturing purposes, the op-
Grafton of the same being subject to
the rules and regulations Of city coun-
Gil. All wires on certain streets are
to be placed under ground.
Explained Plans.
In making application for the fran
chise, Mr.. Law spoke very frankly to
council, explaining in general way
the plans the company had In mind
He said that a large dam would be
built across Green river on its prop
erty and dynamos installed for gen.
Grating electricity. The company, he
said, is anxious to get into Spartan
burg for there are q number OF cotton
mills that would use the power
After hearing Mr.. Law, Judge G.
w. Nichols, city attorney, passed up
on the legality of the franchise and
upon motion the franchise was granted
without a dissenting vote.

TO devise some means of prevention,
resulting in the building of two safety
switches where the grades were most
dangerous.
Safety Switches Were Built
Engineer ]. A. Bolich, of Saluda, who
is now Polk county's able representa-
tive in the General Assembly, worked
on helper" engine at this mountain
two years before the safety switches
were made, and his absolute refusal to
further risk his life on the mountain
grade was doubtless partly responsible
for the two switches, which have saved
uany lives and thousands of dollars
worth of property from wreck and
ruin. Engineer Bolich, whose skill
and ability is unQuestioned through
out the south, has been working regu-
larly ten years on the helper" the
duty of which is to assist heaVy-laden
trains to accomplish the grades. The
building Of the new road will necessa-
rily mean mean his removal, which
will be regretted by his many friends
in that section. \
Among Those Killed.

wrecks on Saluda mountain te that
out of the large number Of people who
lost their lives. there not single pas
senger was killed.
Among the engineers killed were:

Brown. Jack Averill. Among the fire.

WIN Spend Much Money.
In order to accomplish this big un-
dertaking, there will necessarily have
to be an expenditure of many thous-
and dollars in the employment of a
large force Of hands to remove the
tons Of earth and rock, which will be
pushed to rapid completion when once
the work is undertaken.
More Work Near HendersonViIle.
In addition to these great improve
ments, considerable, considerable
workq has been planned nearer Hen
dersonville in the elimination Of sew
@al curves between Landrum, s. c.,
and Biltmore, special attention having
been called to those with few miles
OF Hendersonville.
Direct Line to Panama.
The establishment Of two per
cent grade an dthe abolishment of
many sharp curves on this line, will
be the means Of opening the deep wa
ter port at Charleston to the coal
fields of the west In the shipment of
this product to the Panama Canal
region, thus bringing the mountain
section into much more prominence.
History Of Road.
Saluda mountain is known far and
wide by reason OF the many disas-
trous wrecks in this section. This
steep grade was made about thirty
five years ago evidently in order to re-
duce expenses as much possible I'm the
