FIRST REAL FREEZE
Pipes in Houses~ Caass Aaprehen-
.;on.-Sleet and Snow.

sion.-Sleet and Snow
The FIRST. real freeze of the winter
has caused much worry and appre-
hension among housekeepers con-
corning hot water tanks and piping.
The pipes freeze even though the
water in most instances is cut off,
the complaint being that the water
conduits are placed too near the sur
face. In many of the houses of the
city the hot water tank is connected
with the kitchen stove and is a
source of danger if handled improp-
erly.
C. P. Townsend, superintendent of
the city water and electric system,
said this morning that the danger
came from the accumulation OF
steam in the tank, caused by the non
circulation of water through the tank:
If both the inlet and outlet pipes are
frozen there is danger but if n of
them is open there is no danger. A
small fire in the stove for a short
time will not generate enough steam
to cause danger even if both pipes be
frozen Mr.. Townsend said.
The snow and sleet fell yesterday
afternoon and last night, the ground
being covered this morning. The Ford
engines ran at a rate of forty miles
an hour but the wheels could only
make about four early this morning,
the wheels spinning in the self-same
spot.
Only n kitchen stove accident,
due to the cold, has been reported. A
tank exploded in the home of MIR. S.
A. McCuen Thursday morning doing
some damage to household goods and
almost tearing the kitche: loose from
the house, but Mrs. McCuen who was
in the room escaped injury. The ok
plosion was caused by the genera
ton of steam in the tank.
This morning the SUI seemed to
be in a conspiracy to prevent the
melting of the sheet Of bone break
ing snow and ice, but about loon the
temperature climbed up a bit and
soon reduced the slippery surface to
slush.

NAH RIVER POWER if HE
CAN'T GET MUSCLE SHOALS

CAN'T GET MUSCLE SHOALS
There is much interest in Able
vile and throughout the county. in
the proposal of the Greenwood
Chamber of Commerce to, Henry
Ford in regard to the power sites on
the Savannah River at Calhoun Falls.
Much comment has been heard of the
enterprise of w A Fridy, secretary
of the Greenwood commercial body,
in interesting himself in a project
that would be worth more to other
communities than it would be to
Greenwood.
The only suggested hindrance to
the plan, taking it. for granted that
Ford might be interested, is: the re-
ported fact that all the possible pow
err sites on the. Savannah River in
this section are controlled by the
Georgia Electric ond Power Co., and
probably could not be had by the De-
troit tin king. It is recalled in Able
vile that the Georgia Company OBJ
tanned control Of these sites about
1916 or 1916, the idea being to fur
nish power to run an electric rail-
road that it proposed to build from
Atlanta to Anderson. After much of
the right of way had been acquired
and some capital attracted, the pro-
'ject fell through with the coming of
the war. Whether the Georgia Com
pany's lease or options have expired
is not known, nor are the company's
plans for future development known.
It is felt by some that Congress
will more than likely turn down: the
Ford offer, since that body is now
controlled by a Republican majority,
and the Muscle Shoals development
would be designed to benefit Demo-
Gratis first and others later, The ac-
ton of the national. body in seating
Newberry in the senate, despite
Ford's claims, is taken to mean that
Ford will have to meet much person
al opposition before he can carry out
his great plans.
The letter written by Mr. Fridy is
as follows:
"We have been reading newspaper
accounts of your proposed purchase
of Musle Shoals in Alabama and we
fully realize what your purchase
would mean to the south, but in
particular to Alabama. Now if you
are not successful in the purchase
of Muscle Shoals or if you are sue
cessful we will be glad to get you in
terested in the purchase and develop
ment of falls. on the Savannah river
between Abbeville County, South
Carolina and Ebert County, Geor-
gin.
According to a recent survey
this river shows a seventy-ive foot
fall with from fifty thousand to one
hundred thousand 100000 to 100,
0O0) horse power development.
These falls are miles in length, all
of which offer a wonderful project
for development along the same
lines as your proposition at Muscle
Shoals. If it is possible to interest
you in this proposition we will be
glad to give you all the coopera-
ton possible"
