 several of the companies in the south
 ern states had prior Jo the war, con-
 nected their systems to serve this gen
 eral purpose. and as the result of the
 discussions with the representatives of
 the War Department other connections
 were made Among the most important connections which the War Department
 urged during the war was a line con
 meeting the systems of the Alabama and Georgia Power companies. However it was not feasible to complete the con nections during the war, but as the result Of those investigations the companies have now worked out a pan for connecu- ing their systems The Alabama Power Company and the Georgia Railway and Power Company have entered into d cop- tract by which a transmission line fifty two miles in length will connect the two systems running from Gadsden, Ala, to Lindale Ga. The current over this line will reach the system of the Alabama Power Company at Gadsden. from which it Will be transmitted to other parts of the system as may be needed Like wise in the case of the Georgia company, l the current which may be obtained from the Alabama company will be transmitted the Georgia system from Lindale. This connection will be of advan- tage to the customers of both systems, since the hydro plants of the Alabama Power Company and of the Georgia com. pany are in different watersheds. and ire quently one watershed has drouth while ath hos

 RESOURCES

'T heartily indorse the Birmingham Realty Companys plan of building serv- ants houses for temporary use of home seekers, pending the time when they are able to build their permanent residences" said Hill Ferguson of the Jemison Real Estate and Insurance Company.
 Very few individuals are building homes, because very few can afford to do so at present cost of building. The type of residence. which the average man earning a good salary would con slider a fit permanent abode for himself and family, is in the $s,000 to S1o,000 class, instead of the former $4,OOO to 5000 class. The salary will not stand it. and that is all there is to that.
 'On the other hand, a man could pur- chase a lot in a very desirable neighbor. hood at from $40 to S60 per front foot and, by residing. temporarily in the begin nings of a home comfortably and eco- nomically establish himself as home owner.
 ''It is considered elegant to wear one old clothes. Men of high degree have donned the overall as a protest against high prices. Why should we not apply the same spirit of economy to the own in of

HEAR EVERY WORD

q specially want the grand jury to hear every word these witnesses have to say" Judge Greene informed the Jury. Under the rules of procedure before the grand jury this testimony can be taken faster than it can in open court. But I want the grand jury to hear every word they have to say in regard to these charges"
 The special charge to the grand jury was delivered by Judge Greene at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The grand jury made a partial report to Judge Fort and returned lot of forty two indictments. As soon as the report had been handed in Judge Fort introduced Judge Greene to the grand jury.
 Justice demands that an impartial and unbiased investigation of certain chAges made openly and without resAyation during the recent political camnaign be made by proper authori- ties" said Judge Greene after few introductory remarks. 'I refer to charges openly made in one branch of this court that the system of selection of turies is corrupt and that the men charged with the selection of the men to form the jury rolls of the county have prevented certain men from serving and have used only men suitable to themselves. The sheriff is charged with corruption in the serv- ing of the juries.
 "Thene charges constitute cor
 ruption in office. and if they are
 true those responsible should he
 punished. If they are not true

JUDGE FORT CONCURS

Judge William E. Fort. to whom a partial report was made by the grand jury immediately preceding the spe- cial charge by Judge Greene, con cured in the special charge. At the conclusion of Judge Greenes charge he said:
 "As a judge of the criminal division of this court l heartily concur in the charge Judge Greene has just giNn you and l believe that the earliest and most complete investigation is de- manded.
 'When an accusation of this kind
 is publicly nude no tribunal should
 rest until it has been thoroughly
 and fairly investigated. The very
 foundation of justice is assaiIed
 when the integrity of the court is
 allowed to rcmaNn in question. It
 is necessary that this grand jury
 make a full investiga ton. If they
 should find any foundiCtion for the
 charges the guilty should he pun
 ished. If not they should let the
 facts be knOwn.'
 In his charge Judge Greene instruct ed the grand jury to summon before k the two persons making the charges and to obtain from them all facts possible in regard to the charges ana proceed to investigate every avenue of information. He also instructed the jury to summon the list of 100 ol more witnesses who were ordered by Mr Denson when the charges were made in a motion before Judge Evans in the civil divisions of the court. He stated to the jury that in all prob ability there would be between 1O( and 200 of these witnesses.

''The Bessemer Coal and Land Com- pany I understand, is doing something much like that proposed by the reaiiy company. For instance, there was a Bessemer mechanic who wished a home. He came to T. A. Weller, general land agent of the company, to see about it. Mir Weller asked him if he had enough money with which to purchase the lum- Der for two-room house. The man had.

THE FERGUSON PLAN

''The realty company's plan of building a four-room servants house on the rear of the lot is a good one. Another good plan is to build the rear or kitchen quar- ters of the permanent home where they are to be permanently situated and re- side in them pending ability to build the permanent and more extensive and or nate front.
 "The character of neighborhoods will be automatically protected. Protection is furnished first, by the price of the lot. No man who has decided to reside per manently in shack is going to invest s1,5OO to $2,500 in a lot Secondly, con tract of sale of lot could include condi- tions to be complied with in reference lto the character of permanent home. il IT e Birmingham Realty Companys Ian. presented by l. c.

STABILIZES POWER

For many years the nterconnection of power transmission lines with other hH dro-electric systems has been discussed and considered. since it was well known that the results would be advantageous to each company the section served. It not only serves an economic purpose in securing and using the highest potential ity of the water. particularly in flood time but it tends to stabilize the power and to minimize Interruptions from acci- dents and causes beyond ordinary control, as power cen be drawn temporarily from the system not affected until the cause of interruption is removed. All manu- lecturers and users of power appreciate stability and continuity.
 Another advantage which will result to each company is that as rains do not visit ali sections always at the same time, there may be surplus of power on one system in flood time and a lack of power in another in times of drouth. so that an interchange of power can take place just as railway cars of one road are used on another system when not needed by the owning road.

growing. fences in order and paint
wherever paint is needed. These things
are marks Of prosperous and progress

The Satisfied Customer.

From the RustOn Leader.I
Some old TIME merchants used to
say that the satisfied customer" was
tile best advertisement, and would give
them all the business they wanted.
They depended upon this more or less
mythical creature to spread infOrma-
ton about their store. and believed
they could build up a trade as the
result Of favorable reports given by
their customers to their townsIeOple.
The practical result of that style Of
merchandising was that stores that
practiced it st;id in the rut and were
mighty lucky even to hold their old
trade.
ElmOre Peterson Of the University
Of Colorado. in addressing the Rocky
Mountain Shoe Retailers recently,
warned them not to place dependence
upon the satisfied customer" for their
advertising. He said that the satisfied
customer il the stores hest nd. for
| holding trade. but it Is not SO for
getting new trade. No merchant can
hope to grow III his business" he said.
IF he depends upon his customers to
do his advertising for him.
The above quoted speaker might
have put 1t much stronger than that.
The, fact that Il purchaser Is pleased
with a purchase does not indicate that
he will go to that store again next
time.
