The Carolina Power Company of
Raleigh is planning big develop
ment at Swift Island over the Pee
Dee river on the Raleigh-Ch Charlotte
highway and six miles below the
power plant at Baden. It will have
a capacity of $4,000 horse power, and
this energy will be fused with the
100000 volt line of the company at
Sanford.
It is estimated that the plant and
dam will cost $4,0OO,0OO and the
dam will be 100 feet high and a
thousand feet in length. This will
not interfere with the Badin dam six
miles above. The company will fin
ance this plant separately, since it
will be difficult to float second mort
gage bonds of the old company to
finance this work.
The company finds that it has sold
all the available power of the pa
rent company and is seeking new
sources of energy to take care of it's
growing trade. Col Charles E. John
son of Raleigh is at the head of the
organization.

troubles of their own Tuesday night
when their pressmen attended a
meeting of the New York Newspaper
Web Pressmen's Union (called to de-
eide whether to strike or to accept
the decision OF a board of arbi

tions) and remained in session until
2:30 a. M, while presses all over the
city waited. The newspapers were
published in reduced sizes by such
forces as were available.
The session of the pressmen was
held behind locked doors and at
tended by 1000 members. No
body was permitted to enter or
leave the hall after the doors were
closed at $50. Finally the press
men voted to return to work.
One can imagine how managing
editors all over the big. city tore their
hair and foremen were frantic over
their inability to get out a paper.
The New York Times dispatched a
special train to Washington to carry
papers to the capital city and points
that way, the papers having missed
