SOUTHERN POWER co.
TO BUILD NEW PLANTS
Will Be Completed Within Year at
Cost of Millions

People in this section of South Car
DINA will learn with interest that the
Duke interests principals in control of
the Southern Power company, are to
begin construction and have ready for
operation in one year two new hydro
electric plants which will cost be-
tween $12,OO0,00O and S16,000,0o0.
The announcement is of statewide in
terest because of the large addition
to the taxabale property in South
Carolina and the additional fact that
in the future, no South Carolina
plants will be forced to undergo any
hardships such as experienced during
the last summer because of lack of
power.
The two new plants will have a
maximum generating capacity of 80,-
900 and 10000 horsepower respec-
lively and will be located at Great
Falls and Mountain Island on the Ca
tawba river.
The new plant at Great Falls will
not require the construction of a new
dam and in twelve months will be
supplying 10000 additional horse
power to the 1000 now being gener-
ated at that plant. The development
at Mountain Island will have maxi
mum capacity of $4,000 produced
through four generating units of 20,-
900 horsepower ard will be the Sec
ond largest power station owned by
the Southern Power company.

EUGENE S. BLEASE MEN
TONED FOR GOVERNOR

Pee Dee Advocate.
A citizen who heard state politics
discussed at the state fair in Colum-
bia, says that A. F. Lever will not be
candidate for governor, nor will
Senator Laney of Chesterfield. He
says, too, that Cole L. Blease is not
expected to run, but that his brother,
Eugene S. Blease, mayor of New
berry, will be candidate for govern
or. There are also intimations that
John G. Richards will be in the race.
There has been talk of Governor
Cooper being elected to the vacant
place on the supreme court bench. 1t
is said, however, that he will not get
the support of the, delegation from
Laurens, his home county, and will
not be in the race. He will probably
resume his law practice at the end of
his present term as governor.
Col. Tom C. Hamer has not yet
definitely decided whether he will be
in the race for governor or not.

sioners the public should have it: This
audit was made by Mr.. L. A. Searson,
public accountant. This audit was
made when the bonds were turned
over to the new bond commission.
1T has been our privilege to audit
the records of Mr.. NJ L. Spearman,
chairman Of the retiring sinking fund
commission, annually, for a number
of years. The writer desires to take
advantage of this opportunity to COM
pliment this able official and his asso-
ciates for the wisdom of their invest

and the never ceasing interest which
they have manifested for the public
benefit. The authorities and tax
payers of Newberry should be graf
flied TO know that their interests have
been so carefully guarded by the pass

that the sinking fund has been han

1t was very hard for persons even
in the center of the square as we
were, to hear the words of Commits
sioner Spearman as he introduced
Mayor Blease and it was with great
difficulty that we were able to follow
what Mayor Blease said, but we did
hear and were thrilled to the heart
when his great wish for better New
berry and a greater Newberry was
voiced, and when in his closing he
prayed for the blessing of God upon
the town and her people l found my
self echoing his wish. And his peo-
pie showed their appreciation Of his
service and loyalty to them by the
hearty applause given him.
