that those who wish to see political progress in
South Carolina might get together 4 possible upon
the candidate who in all the circumstances seemed
to possess the greatest elements of availability
The News and Courier has not regarded the six
anti-Blease candidates equally acceptable, hut
it docs believe that any one OF them would make a

of voters, like Mr.. Carter. would wish to cast their

PLANS FOR NEW POWER
STATION TO BE HURRIED

small crew Of men from the Cen
trail Maine Power Company began to
clear up the debris from the big fire
of Tuesday afternoon, at the Bangs
Power station Although practically
all of the expensive electrical ap
paratus and stores were either total
ly ruined or badly damaged by fire,
there was a small PERCENTAGE that was
not in any way injured and may be
put to future use. The city's cleo
trio supply continues to be supplied
by the Fort Halifax and Union Gas
Station power houses.
Plans for the new storehouse and
for a new power station, which were
being drawn at the time the fire oc-
CURED will be hurried along with the
hopes of erecting new buildings in
the fall. A fine three story brick store
house, over 100 fet long and extend
ing from the street to the river will
be erected on the site of the old grist
mill. No definite decisions have been
made on this building, but the pre-
liminary plans show 1t to be a struc-
ture that will be a valuable addition
to Waterville's fine buildings. The
basement will have a ceiling heighth
of IA feet, and will be used for a
stable. TWO small entrances on the
main front, and three metal rolling
doors will give ample opportunity for
the loading and unloading of teams.
There will be a hosting apparatus
fastened to the top of the building,
and a rolling door on each floor, in
order that heavy or bulky commodi-
ties may be taken from the teams d.
rect to any floor. The interior will
be supplied with an electric controlled
elevator. which will be located at the
north end of the building, directly in
the rear of the rolling doors.
The new power house. similar TO
the storehouse, three stories high.
will be built of brick Whether it
will be an important generating point,
or just an agent of distribution as
was the old station, has not been de-
cided No specificat ions of what
electrical machinery it will contain
have been submitted. Two of the
three floors probably will be devoted
to offices for the heads of the depart
nents that are not brought into direct
communication with the public such
as the wire, street, and construction
crews. Both the storehouse and the
power station will be practically fire.

their construction. 1t is estimated
that the total building cost of both
will be in the neighborhood of s35, 900
