A Constitution Item.
As a cariosity in reporting, we
the following sample item
from the Atlanta Constitution,
High Falls on the Chatta¬
hoochee river and Griffin within ten
of the river, and talking of a
enterprise already in progress,
if it were an Atlanta project
to be undertake®. What the
had that day most have
been a plenty. Bat here it is:
“Here is good news for Griffin.
The officials of the large stock com¬
pany located in Atlanta for the pur¬
pose of harnessing the Chattahoo¬
chee, are contemplating the location
of a plant in that city to furnish
electric light and power for the en¬
tire municipality. miles
“The river is about ten
from the town and High Falls af¬
fords excellent water power. The
citizens ot Griffin are anxious that
the company establish a branch
there, and it is highly probable their
hopes may materialize.
“Mr. Ernest W. Cook, one of the
officials in the company, together
with Mr. J. M. McCarthy, a promi¬
nent civil engineer, will go to Griffin
in the next few days for the purpose
of exploring the field- If they find
the situation to their liking they
will no doubt begin work at once.
“This new enterprise would prove
a great impetus to the business in¬
terests of that thriving little city,
and the establishment of the plant
will l)e hailed with delight by all her
citizens.”
