Price’s Island
Telegraphic advices were received
Saturday night by persons in Augus
ta who are concerned, from Augus-1
tans in Washington, that the plans
for a dam which the Twin City Pow
er company proposes to erect at
Price’s Island, across the Savannah
river, 25 miles above Augusta, have
been approved by the engineers of
the war department.
This moans that in all probability
the last obstacle in the way of this
deveh; AJmt has been removed, and
that Jgerk will begin not later than
the middle of this week.

erection of the dam, stated before tya
left Augusta that work would begin
within 48 hours after the plans had
been approved by the war depart
ment.
The Twin City Power company pro
poses to build a hollow concrete dam
across the Savannah river near
Price’s Island that will develope
about 30,000 electric horse-power,
which is to be utilized, principally,
by Augusta industries.
The wofk will take about 18 months
to finish. Between 600 an.d 1,000 men
will be employed. The erection of the
dam will be one of the biggest com
tracts ever awarded in the Southern
states. Dam, plant, transporting
lines, etc., will represent a total e»
penditure of three million dollars.
An ordinance is now pending be
fore city council to grant the Twin
City Power company a fifty-year
franchise, for electric lights, street
railroad lines, the sale of electric cur
rent for industrial and manufacturing
purposes, etc.
WILL STIMULATE
CITY’S INDUSTRIES.
Development to the extent that the
company has now in view will mean
that 30,000 electric horse-power will
be turned Into Augusta, to stimulate
the city’s industries to extension and
improvement, invite new industries,
open up new channels of enterprise,
and cheapen electricity for every pub
lic utility.

Try To Stop Westward
Movement.
NEW YORK,—With a view of
brining to mi end the movement
from the East to the West, nearly
one hundred real estate men froai the
Atlantic states met in New York
Saturday, formed an organization to
in- known as the Eastern Farm Life
Promotion association, and decided
upon a campaign ot education to that
end. It is believed that, by direct
appeal to the public, through the ad
vertising columns of the newspapers
and magazines, a full realization of
ihe agricultural possibilities of the
East may be made known and that
fact demonstrated that there are
more opportunities for the farmer in
the East than ever before
Among those In attendance were
tepresen tat Ives from all the New
England states, New York, Hew Jer
sey, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia
and North Carolina. The organize
tion elected E. A. St rout, of New!

Small Chance the Senat*
Committee Will Report’
on Waynesboro Post
office At This Session.
Matter Will Be Left To
Taft To Settle.
Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON.— There fs small
chance that, the senate committee on
postofflces and post roads will re
port, at this session upon the ap
pointment of Selgfriod Schwnrzweiss
to b<- postmaster at Waynesboro, and
Infinitely less chance that he will be
confirmed If a report is made. It
may be statod on high authority that
the subcommittee, which has the ap
pointment, is not Inclined to pass
upon the case immediately .and the
Individual members are said to be
less inclined to recommend the con
firmation of Schwarzweiss.
WILL BE
UP TO TAFT.
There remains less than two weeks
In which (he senate may act upon
the appointment. If it is not con
firmed within the lime specified, the
appointment will fall with the retire
ment of Bresldent Roosevelt and the
matter will be up to Mr. Taft. In
the meantime Thomas Qulnney will
hold the office, and It Is not regarded
likely that ne will attempt to put
Schwarzweiss through the senate.
