It is a matter of pointed interest to Macon to know that this new impetus to the industrial development of that stAte is due to the introduction of the transmis sion of power by electricity, enabling the citizens of that state to utilize the almost inexhaustible power to be found in the rivers flowing from the mountains to the sea. „ , An article in the Manufacturer’s Record telling of this new era of industrial de velopment in Noth Carolina only demon strates what Macon ‘‘M do if she but turn her attention to the development of the vast power that the Ocmulgee river offers her. Macon is even more fortunately situated than the North Carolina towns that have been so greatly benefited by the develop ment of power in that state. She has this power right at her doors, whereas Winston and Salem were forced to go thirteen or fourteen miles for it. The Manufacturer's Record states that the development of power which has done so much for Winston and Salem was in augurated in 1897 by the Fries Manufac turing and Power Company, o. Salem, for ■the pur.pose of transmitting power from the Yadkin river to the towns of Winston and Salem, a distance of thirteen and one half miles. . i The channel of the river at this point , was widened and the power-house built ■ upon solid rock. This power-house is a building 36x145 feet and contains eight 54-inch McCormick wheels and two gov ernors. The generator-house is at the end of the power-house and will contain a 1,000-horse-power generator. The dam is of solid masonry 500 feet, long, ten feet high, and it is estimated that the total amount, of power to be transmitted will be from 2,000 to 2,500 horse-power. The pres- , ent development represents 1,000 horse power, but the buildings have capacity ( for another line of eight turbine wheels I and another generator of sufficient capa city to utilize the entire water flow at this point. The electricity is generated and will be transmitted at 10.000 volts. In the town of Salem there is a sub-station from ■ which the individual lines will conduct | the electricity to the various manufactur- ; ing plants of" the city. Among the plants ■ which have already contracted for the ; power are two cotton mills, one grain mill, one woolen mill, one planing mill, one ma chine shop, one electric light and power station for the furnishing of incandescent and arc lights and the running of the street railway, the city water works and also a large fertilizer plant which has just located here. Other industries are now contemplating the use of this power, and the probabilities are that within a few months the present amount now trans mitted will be consumed; there will re main then 1,000 to 1.500 horse-power for future sale and the same will be trans mitted as soon as a demand is created. The price at which this power is furnish ed varies according to the size of the plant, but in all cases the price is reason able. and investors looking for the loca tion of a plant would do well to examine carefully into this location before deciding upon other points. The Record states that the towns to be supplied by this electric current have sur passed in growth the expectations of their citizens and the public. Where twenty years ago there was a community of a few thousand there is now a city of over 16,- 000. with paved streets, electric lights, complete systems of water supply and sewerage, manufacturing establishments for cotton and wool, grain mills, numerous tobacco factories, machine shops, fertilizer plants, wagon factories, furniture facto ries and many smaller industries which contribute to the support of the people and furnish employment to several hundred persons who are traveling from this point selling the product of the forty tobacco factories throughout the entire Union. It is not difficult to understand what would be the effect on Macon of such a movement. It would bring scores of new factories here and create a new era of industrial development in this city. North Carolina is growing and prospering in dustrially. because she is profiting by her natural advantages for furnishing cheap power. Macon can do the same, and, be sides. furnish the raw material for the manufacture of almosb everythir g that the people of this section now buy from Northern manufacturers. Chairman Clay Will Retire. A Washington dispatch states that Sen ator day, who is also chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of Geor gia, will call a meeting of the committee to be held in Atlanta the first week in 'March. In speaking of the meeting of the com ' mittee, Senator Clay said: “This will be my last official act in eon ! necticm with the state committee; for I will, under no circumstances, be a candi date for re-election as chairman. I would have resigned the chairmanship when I i was elctcd to the senate bad it not been i for the fact that the committee practically finished, with the close of the last state ; campaign, the work for which it was cre ated. and there was nothing for me, as I chairman, to do but issue the formal call for the next state cor.vinuicn. This wilt . he done at the committee meeting to be , held in .Atlanta during the- first week in | March. My service as chairman of the i committee lias been practically pleasant to ' me, and if I have met the expectation of \ the party in fulfilling the duties required I of one placed in so responsible a position, lam more than satisfied. As to the chair manship for the next two years, that is a matter for the state convention, the chair man of which is ex-officio chairman of the j state committee until his successor is cho sen.” In deciding to resign the state chairman ! ship Senator Clay is acting wisely and in good taste. He is also wise in arranging for an early line-up of the Democratic forces, in view of the fact that the Pop ulists are already showing unusual activ ity and will hold their state convention earlier than ever before. The Populists are eager to make the fight of their lives this year, and this makes it all the more necessary that the Democrat ic forces be put early in the field —and that the Democratic Banner be placed in the hands of a man who is above reproach. Senator Clay will see to the first matter and the Democrats of Georgia will attend to the latter by nominating ‘Allen D. Candler. Australia Burning Up. Down in the southern hemisphere it is row midsummer, and they are having a dose of it, notes the Toledo Blade. Aus tralia is suffering under conditions of tor ridity which are intolerable. In different parts of that continent the temperature in the sun ranges from 110 to 150. People are dying of the heat, and vegetation is burning up. And this is the third year oi such abnormal summer temperature at the antipodes. Some people are arguing that this in creased intensity of summer heat in Aus tralia is part of a great climatic change in. the southern hemisphere. There are no good grounds for so rash a generaliza tion. There are no reports of abnormal warmth in any other section of that half of the world. But it is a legitimate con clusion that next summer is likely to be a het one in the northern hemisphere. We may have a recurrence of the heat and dryness we experienced a few years ago in this latitude. The 'Madisonian can see as far through a board fence as anyone. It says: “The Macon Telegraph has found a prominent South Georgian who thinks that the peo ple think it is very curious that the folks are so unanimous for Candler. The Tele graph doesn’t give the name of the South Georgian, but it is probable that it is the Telegraph, more than the “folks” or the South Georgian that dislikes this unanimi ty. Why the Telegraph is not with the people in this unanimity Is not at all cu rious. But it would be a genuine curios ity, if the Telegraph were to ’be found once with the Democrats in any of the great vital issues, that distinguish them from the high-tariff gold-standard Republicans.” Peter Cooper, who died worth a million dollars, gave some good advice to the bus iness men of every town, when he said: “In all towns where a newspaper is pub lished, evry man should advertise in it, if nothing more than a card stating his name and the business he is engaged in. It nearly always pays the advertiser, and be sides let the people at a distance know that the town in which you reside is a prosperous community of business men and that the people may settle in it with a chance to make a living. Never pull in your sign in a home paper while you ex pect to do business. Says the Athens Banner: “The people of Georgia have grown resistfully weary of ring politics and political slate-making, and have come to the front with the avow ed purpose of making this the people’s time to name and make their governor. This is going to be the people’s year, and if anybody doubts it they need only to step aside a little and watch the procession— headed by the Candler bandwagon, as it .marches on up to the ballot bexs in Oe ■tober next.” In a strong editorial the Brunswick Times advises Judge Spencer Atkinson not to enter the race for the governorship. Brunswick is Judge Atkinson’s “home town,” and the Times is friendly to him, and would, under other circumstances, no doubt support him in his political ambi tion. The editorial in the Times is to the point and, it is believed, comes near tell ing the whole truth of the matter as re gards South Georgia’s position in the gu bernatorial question. Lippincott’s Magazine for 1898 will con tinue to offer in each number a complete novel, also as much additional reading matter in selected stories, sketches, essays, poems, etc., as the average illustrated magazine contains. Admitting no serials, it avoids the objection of so many readers to a continued story. Combining all the characteristics of a magazine, each num ber is complete in itself . Douglas Glessner Is responsible for this one: “A Kansas City man who was mar ried recently has relatives in St. Louis named Damm. At the wedding among the congratulatory missives read, was a tele gram from St. Louis saying: ‘Accept con gratulations cf the whole Damm family.’ ” Hon. F. G. dußignon will probably go to Boston early in March to deliver an ad dress upon the subject of “Free Trade.” He has received an invitation from the New England Free Trade League to ad dress the members of that organization on some date in March convenient to him. Tim effort Mr. Watson into the gubernatorial race will not succeed. In our opinion, says the Augusta Chronicle, thtis is to be a year of political harmony. All parties can unite in support of Allen D. Candler, and they will do so. Strange that the Macon Telegraph has not charged the Republican party with Populistic tendencies because of the hon ; ors its leaders have showered on Presi- I dent Dole’s whiskers.
