New Power Plant in Operation.

About year ago the town COM
missioners decided it was necessary
to enlarge the municipal electric
light and power plant, as the de-
mands for light and power were
greater than the capacity Of the
plant. It was first thought that a
plant of 1875 kilowatts GOO horse
poWer) would be of sufficient size to
take care of the towns needs for
several years. Upon advice, how
ever, of the consulting engineer.
Mr.. w. M. Piatt, of Durham, it was
decided to put in $50 kiloWatt out
fit, including boiler, engine and
dynamo.
Last July the present new equip
ment was bought, which consists of
Stirling water tube boiler, Harris
burg-Fleming Corliss engine, and
General Electric dynamo and switch
board. 1t is generally admitted
that there is no better apparatus on
the market.
The total capacity of the plant
now is 525 horse power, 125 horse
power included in the old apparatus
which is yet in good shape.
The new apparatus has just been
PIT in commission and is very salts

chief aim to provide some way of
materially reducing the fuel con-
sumption, the chief expense involve d
in the operation Of the plant. He
believes he will have accomplished
this when the peanut factory, plan

refuse over to the plants furnaces
to be consumed under the boilers.

getting to be very popular. Nearly
every home has one or more Of the
many electrical devices now on the
market. Day current is considered

is big incentive to small manufac-
turing enterprises to locate here.
Before the expiration of the com
ing year the superintendent expects
to have a connected motor load Of
about 200 horse power.

Not A white Slave

A woman Of % knows perfectly
well what she is doing when she con-
sorts with a married man. She is
not an object Of compassion, or
victim. The federal white slave"
law has been invoked several times
for punishment of the man in a case
of this sort and while he deserves
punishment, she is equally guilty
and the purpose to that law was to
deal with commercialized vice, and
not to regulate Individual morals.
If the man promised to get a di-
vorce from his wife, the situation of
his paramore, morally considered,
is not improved, but rather made
worse. What does marriage amount
to if it may be dissolved at will to
enable man to shake off his wife
and take up new fancy? And if
the woman of mature years does
not feel obliged to wait till the d.
vorce is obtained, why she care for
the divorce at all? The unmarried
man may make promise of mar
rage and be held to it, and there
may be sympathy for the young and
inexperienced girl who trusts too
much to it. But the married nan
has no right to promise to get a d.
vorce and marry his latest opiec ct
OF interest and woman OF % knows
this perfectly we'll.
