DROUGHT THREATENS TO
CAUSE POWER FAMINE

Charlotte, Sept. 8.-Officials of
the Southern Power Company,
which generates electric power for
most of the larger Industrial plants
and forty of fifty towns and cities in
the Carolinas declare that the pro-
tracted drought prevailing during the
past weeks is beginning to affect Sc
riously the light and power situation
in the two states.
The rivers in this section are run
ming so low that it has become nee
essary to run the machinery in many
of the power plants on partial time,
these officials declare.
The two outlets from the dam at
Bridgewater have been opened and
are pouring torrents into the Cataw-
ba river below the dam in an effort
20 counteract the effect produced by
rthe ggradually subsiding streams.
This emergency measure has greatly
decreased the supply of water stored
in the impounding plant at Bridge
water.
Some customers Of the Southern
Power Company whose plants are To-
Gated mainly along the Catawba riv-
er, have been denied normal sup
ply of power in order to economize
in the use of powder until the situa-
ton has improved.

Capa To Develop
Summer Resort

Pierre. May while this section
of the state has secured a number
of warm water wells ever since the
first artesian well was drilled in this
part of the state, the well which has
always showed the highest tempera-
ture is the one drilled by the rail-
way company at Capa, which shows
a temperature of 121 degrees as the
water comes from the well.
The average temperature Of wells
is about so degrees.
The war well at Capa has been
used by the residents of that little
place for several years for bathing in
the pool into which the well flows,
and its temperature and medicinal
bathing results has attracted so much
attention of late years that the rsi-
dents. are now arranging to put in
a concrete-lined bathing pool along
with other facilities to care for the
people who are attracted to the place
by the healing benefits of the water
from the well.
They are building hopes OF becom-
ing as much of a resort as some of
the natural hot springs OF the coun-
try.
