FORT PAYNE

Fort Payne, September 17.-(spe- cial.--A number of prominent citizens of Fort Payne met the members of the city council in consultation with Birmingham wa terpower engineer at the city hall last night to discuss the feasibility of the l lroposed hydroelectric plant of Hughes Mill, four miles south of Fort Payne. on Wills creek. It was decided to perfect the temporary organization of the Wills Valley Light and Power Company, and proceed with the sale of the stock and plans looking to the lm- mediate construction of the power plant The consulting engineer stated that there is sufficient water power at the site to develop three times as much electricity as Is required for Fort Payne. It Is understood that the new company will have capital of $60,000 or $70,O00, and the promoters state trat they hope to dispose of all the stock to local people. The construction and operation of this plant will mean great deal to Fort Payne, which in the past has relied on limited electric serv- lee generated by steam in the hope that the transmission lines of tho Alabama Power Company would some day be brought here.
 The public schools opened hero this week with the largest enrolment in history. About 400 pupils are enrolled at the Sawyer school and 100 at the Davis school over 100 students are enrolled at the County High school. l Practically everything is in readiness for the opening of the DeKalb County Fair here on September 2S, the buildings and grounds having been put in good l condition and are now ready for the ex- | hibits.

The racing programme Is said to be unusually good, many of the fastest horses in this section of the south having been entered for the races, which will be daily feature.
 The Lookout Mountain coal mines are doing thriving business in Fort Payne since the coal strike, which makes It hard to secr-e coal from the big mines in the l Birmingham district While the noun tain coal is not of the best quality the people are apparently glad to get it. and great numbers of them have laid in their winters supply already.
