SAVED COUNTY
BIG SUM OF MONEY
Commissioners Have Closed the Contract
With the Central Power Co- for Bridges
The county commissioners held
an adjourned meeting Tuesday at
which some routine matters were
taken up and disposed of.
The proposed changes in sever¬
al of the county roads were taken
up and disposed of.
These changes were asked for by
the Central Power company, in or¬
der that they might complete their
great dam and power station on
the river.
Ballard Brothers were the only
citizens of the county appearing
before the board to protest against
the changes, and after going into
the matter thoroughly und the
gentlemen conferring with officers
of the Central Power company a
settlement of the damages was ar¬
ranged and the objections were
then withdrawn and the commiss¬
ioners then passed the proper order
changing roads.
By the terms of the agreement
between the commissioners and
the Central Power company, the
latter concern is to build all the
new bridges made necessary by
the changes, paying all the ex¬
penses thereof and making them
acceptable to the county engineer,
and the old bridges which will be
replaced by the new ones revert to
the county and will be used by the
commissioners elsewhere.
' By this arrangement the oonnty
comes into possession of nearly
ten thousand dollars worth of
bridges without coat to the tax
payers. The^new bridges are to
be of steel and to bear such weight
as is prescribed by the county, and
the Central Power company is to
bear all expense of the work, and
the trade between the company
and the county is considered to be
a good one for the county, as much
money will be saved by it, and it
is said that in every instance where
damage to property has resulted by
the dam the company has settled
with the people on a mutually sat¬
isfactory basis. Quite a number
of the officials of the company
were in the city.
The proposed changes, which
will now be made, are told official¬
ly the notice published on another
page.
WILL OPEN A
MODERN BAKERY
Mr. W. A. Holland, of Seneca,
S. C. has arrived in the city and
will open next week a bakery and

til recently occupied by the Singer

baker and confectioner and is
arranging a modern place, with
everything necessary for carrying

comes to this recom-
mended bo*h as a gentleman
as a baxer beiug personally
by several of the best people
tbecity.
In additon to the baker
Holland will carry a complete
of candies and fruits and
make bis place very attractive
the public.
The Singer machine company

bank of Covington building,
where it will continue business

WHEN MR. TAFT
CAME TO TOWN
It was a Great Crowd that Greeted the Dis¬
tinguished Visitor Here.
The. music at the firBt Methodist
.Eunday school has been made
more interesting recently by the
additon of several instruments to
the orchestra and this 19 quite a
feature of the services now. Su¬
perintendent Lester is a livw Sun¬
day school man and always looking
for the things which will increase
the interest in his school. The
attendance is constantly increas¬
ing and soon the two hundred
mark, which has been set for this
year, will be reached.
President-elect Taft’s short visit
to this city last week as was tol4
in last week’s Enterprise, was
made quite an event and the crowd
greeting him at tbe depot was a
tremendous one.
The Enterprise in this issue
submits a picture of the scene at
the depot, taken while Hon. Boy¬
kin Wright was introducing Mr.
Taft to the multitude. The photo
from which the cut was made, was
taken by Will F. Nelson, staff
photographer for the Atlanta Con¬
stitution, and it shows the rear
end of the train, the gentlemen [
standing Lbereon with Mr. surround-j Taft, j
and the crowd of people
ing the train. The Enterprise se- '
cured from Mr. Nelson the exclu¬
sive right to reproduce this pic¬
ture in Covington, believing that
such a picture as this would be ap¬
preciated by the large cumber of
people who read this paper and
who would like to haveanidea as
to tbe scene.
The trip of Mr. Taft to Atlanta,
and his entertainment while there,
will long be remembered as a
feature in Georgia.
Dr. J. E. Dickey, Capt. J. M. Puce
and Postmaster H. D. Bush wer-
among the people from this section
who partiepated in the great event,
ami they all report it to have been
a mo6t enjoyable affair.

The Enterprise appreciates the j
compliments bestowed upon it bv
the public for its enterprise in
securing the stenographic report
of tho speeches and a picture of
Mr. Taft and presenting the whole
to the public the same afternoon,
But this is only one of the many
things which will go to make The
Enterprise a real newspaper dur
j n g t Vj e coming years and the pub¬
lic can always depend upon this
paper to give them the. news of
great events when it is news not
when it has become etal« and
second-hand.
Mr. T. J. Haiwell, manager of
the T. C. Swann company,
sprained «ne of his auklee badly
last week and as a result tbe genial
and smiling gentleman is walking
with the aid of crutches bnt smiles
jnsi tbe same. His friends hope he
will soon be able to discard his
crotches.

! BANK TO MOVE
TO NEW PLACE
Bank of Newton County to Have
Place on the Square.
The Bank of Newton County
will move from its present quar
i ters to the building now occupied
• by C. E. Cook.
This step was decided* upon by
the stockholders of the bank who
voted on the question Monday,
the officers having decided to sub¬
mit the question to the stockhold¬
ers for a decision.
As soon as the result of the vote
was known the officers at once
closed a contract for the building
and material has been placed for
making the necessary changes in
the place and it is expected that the
bank will get in its new quarters
about the first of the coming
month.
For many reasons the bank
made this step, and it will fit up
the new place in elegant style,
using the same handsome fixtures
it now has, and making such ad¬
ditions as may be necessary to have
a modern banking house with every
facility for the officers and the
public.
This step is an important one,
else the bank would never hare
considered leaving its own hand¬
some building and getting on the
square but believing that the step
would be appreciated by the public,
which it always desires to serve in
the very best way.

Dr. J. E. Dickey, president of
Emory college, preached at the
first Methodist church last Sunday
morning and was listened to by a
large congregation. His sermon
was an able and interesting one
and greatly appreciated by the con¬
gregation.
