Plant McManus
Now Operating
At Brunswick
Electrical energy from the
new 75,000-kilowatt unit at Plant
McManus, near Brunswick, this
week began flowing over trans
mission lines to dozens of South
Georgia cities, communities, and
rural areas served by the Geor
gia Power Company.
Construction work on the com
pany’s newest unit, which now
gives Plant McManus a total
generating capacity of 115,000
kilowatts, began nearly two and
a half years ago. The company
points out that the increased
generating capacity will prove a
“definite encouragement” for bu
siness firms seeking industrial
sites in South Georgia.
Power from Plant McManus
now is transmitted via four 110,-
000-volt transmission lines to in
terconnecting points which link
the plant with the company’s
state-wide generating system of
nine other fuel electric plants
and 20 hydroelectric plants. One
line serves the Allied Chemical
& Dye Corp, in the immediate
Brunswick area. Another line, the
one most recently constructed,
extends from Plant McManus to
the Kettle Creek substation near
Waycross. The third line trans
mits power to substations at Je
sup, Baxley, and Vidalia. A
fourth line extends to Ludowici
and Claxton.
The new unit represents an
investment of more than sls mil
lion. It is equipped with coal
handling and coal-burning facili
ties, including storage bunkers,
conveyor belts, pulverizers, ash
pits and other equipment so that
either coal or oil can be used for
fuel. Coal-burning facilities also
will be added to Plant McManus’
first unit which now bums fuel
oil.
Black Cat Bulletin
As we go to press, news story
in a daily paper indicates that
Blackie, the tailless black cat,
cat, has been found near Ludowi
ci. So ends the tale of the cat
without a tail.
Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People.
This Black Cat
May Bring Someone
Good Luck
A black cat will bring some
one good luck, provided he or
she finds a black cat lost by a
tourist near Nahunta on High
way 301.
This newspaper carries this
week an advertisement offering
$25 reward for the cat which is
tailless and is named “Blackie”.
Anyone who wants a cat $25
worth deserves the help of all
good people in finding it. Please
try to bring yourself good luck
by finding that lost black cat.
