Negro Preachers Take a Hand.


The colored Interdenominational
Ministers Union met recently at the
Ladson Presbyterian church, Colum-
bia. The Rev. d. F. Thompson presid-
ed. After the devotional exercises
the committee that was appointed to
consider the advisability OF erecting a
slab or memorial building at Orange
burg in honor of negro soldiers, made
its report.
1t was statsd that at a meeting OF
colored citizens held some weeks ago,
an organization was effected. and a
commission was appointed to make
application for charter. and to ar
range for drive to raise money for
this purpose. The ministers claim
that this organization was unauthor-
lied by anybody that Is composed of
the genuine leaders of the race. Hence
they are opposed to II. But they put
themselves on record as being in favor
OF a monument being erected in honor
of the negro soldiers, and il is their
unanimous wish or opinion that It
should be in Columbia. II was urged
that Columbia is the capital, II is CEN
trail. and the headquarters OF nearly
all the secret orders of the negroes in
the state. therefore. the monument
should be erected here.

To Resume Seed Buying.


The oil mills OF the state will prob
ably start buying cottonseed again
within the next few days, said Chair
man ]. Scottowe Wannamaker, of the
central committee OF the South Car
olina Cotton association. This, he
said, would probably be one result OF
the bitter controversy which he has
had recently with Governor Allen, OF
Kansas.
For some time there has been no
market whatever for cottonseed in
the state and many farmers have been
using them for fertilizer purposes.
Every effort has been made by the
central committee to have the condi-
tions that have operated to close the
market for cottonseed removed, but
Information received by II is to the
effect that the mills will probably
again begin to purchase seed within
the next few days.
This will be good news indeed for
the farmers OF the state.

horse power.

Once manufactured, it is then necessary to
deliver this energy to the homes and manufacture
ing establishments of our patrons. For this pur-
pose, an underground conduit system, larger prob
ably than in any other city of Omaha's size, has
been installed Through this medium, "Your
Electric Service Company contributes materially
to the beauty and safety of our city. 1t has elm
mated the presence of unsightly poles, and at
Omaha daily bee., 1919-06-29

the same time furnishes Omaha with the most
modern facilities for power transmission known
to the industry.
The extent of this underground system will
be indicated from the fact that these conduts,
if layed in single line, would be sufficient to
reach from Omaha to Davenport, Iowa.
Outside of the underground district, approxi-
mately $4,000 poles carrying 300 miles of cop
per wire have been erected in the most modern
manner known to the industry for the purpose of
carrying our service to the most remote points of
the city.
Thousands of transformers have been carefully
selected and erected at near our patrons homes
as to deliver to our thousands of customers the
best service which modern practice and eternal
vigilance can supply.
Large forces of men are constantly on duty
erecting new extensions to this system, and repair
ing the damages resulting from storms and other
unforeseen sources of interruption.
Roughly, $4,000 meters of the most accurate
type known to modern science, have been installed
in our patrons homes and factories. These me-
ters, jeweled and accurately adjusted as
watch, are periodically tested to insure the accur-
acy of the statements we render.
TWenty-four hours a day. men who are
trained, both in knowledge of your requirements
and our business, are at your service and devote
their time. exclusively, to the elimination of the
minor difficulties arising through your use of our
service.
"Your Electric Service Company is proud of
it's accomplishment, has set as it's ideal "the ut
most in service to you" and is anxious to be
known one of the many industrial citizens of
which Omaha may be justly proud.
The Nebraska Power Company like yourself,
is a taxpayer. During 1918, $209,000.00, over
II 60 of our entire income, paid in taxes.
Through this source, like yourself, we annually
express our confidence in Omaha and her out
lock- and materially invest in her future.
We believe that "Your Electric Service Com
pany" is another one of Omaha's facilities of
which Omahans may proudly boast. Of 1853 cit
les of this country only have rates for electric
lighting as low as Omaha. New industries are
attracted here every year through the power rates
and the service available in Omaha.
When next you speak of Omaha's attractive
features, mention "Your Electric Service Com
pany." She ranks with Omaha's schools,
churches, railroad facilities and healthful climate.
Our daily endeavor is unexcelled service to our
growing metropolis.

But machinery alone will not operate this
immense plant Electricians, boiler makers brick
layers carpenters engineers, switchboard oper-
ators, machinists, blacksmiths, and firemen, prob
ably as many and as highly skilled trades are rep

men, always on the alert, are continually safe
guarding our service to you.
Omaha daily bee., 1919-06-29

From the coal pile to the lamp in your home,
the facilities and organization of the Nebraska
Power Company, are devoted to serving you,
Omaha, and her industries. The life work of each
member of its organization is to provide efficient
and highly satisfactory public service to the COM
munity we serve. To accomplish this purpose,
Your Electric Service Company" has invested mil
lions in machinery and property, and has hun
dreds of employes-each one of whom are special
lists in their particular branch of the industry.
At it's central generating plant, located on
Jones Street, near the Missouri River there are
installed turbines and generators of $4,000 horse
power capacity. To supply this plant capable of
lighting 1,350,000 sixteen candlepower lamps,
with the fuel and water it requires, is problem in
itself.
Water must be screened the mud allowed to
settle and treated in purifcation plant before
it is ready for in condensers and boilers. Prac
tically every known type of pump is employed and
during the twenty-four hours of day, more water
is consumed than is required to supply the city of
Omaha it's daily requirements for drinking and
sanitary purposes.
Each hour, enough coal is burned to heat the
average sized house through an entire winter sea-
son. From the time the coal is delivered to the
Company's tracks, small sized railroad system
in ITSELF until it is burned under the boilers, the
fuel is practically untouched by hands. An elec-
trio locomotive for hauling cars an immense crane
and buckets for automatically unloading and stor-
ing the COAL conveyors hundreds of feet in length,
immense coal bins capable Of storing $4,000 tons
and automatic stokers-al have their duty to
perform in handling this costly and more or less
perishable commodity.
Starting and stopping the immense turbines
and generators is of itself problem of consider
able difficulty, but in this, plant, finer regu
lation is necessary, for to deliver metropolitan
service, it is necessary to regulate within very
small limits, the speed of 10000 horsepower
generating units revolving at a speed of 1900
revolutions per minute.
From the observers and regulators station at
the switchboard, information as to the operation
of the plant is continually signalled to the eng-
neers on the. floor of the engine room. From the
switchboard, the operator automatically and man.
ually controls the voltage in circuits carrying thou
sands of horsepower at voltage ranging from 10
to $500. This vigil is constant. Thousands of
dollars are invested in regulators alone which have
as their sole purpose the prevention of flickering
light in your home and variations Of speed in the
motors of your factory.

Decide Fate Of Mrs. Blake.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
NATLANTIC CITY, N J.. Dec. 49,
Robert Ingersoll, county Judge, today
was expected to decide the fate OF
Mrs. Esther Miller Blake. charged
with drowning her five-year-old SON.
Buddy"
Upon the judges decision as to the
woman's sanity, based upon the find
ings of local alienists, it was be.
lieved, will depend whether Prosecu.
tor Gaskill will submit the case to
the grand jury.
There was every indication that
Mrs. Blake will be found insane and
committed to an asylum without
standing trial for murder.
The coroner's jury, after twenty
minutes deliberation, last night de-
cided that James M. Blake, Jr.
came to his death presumably at the
hands Of his mother while she was
laboring under state of mental alb
beration."
