He has imagina- I tion. the gilt of prophecy, and with all enormous executive force and abili ty of a most unus*ual kind. The work he is carrying forward in the Carolinas is of world bigness: there will no such interurban lines anywliere as his system when com pleted. The effect of his enterprise (m the development of the section real ly sta?;gers the imas;ination. New and modern towns are already being built at the power sites. Other town.s and cities will be constructed with the develoiiment of his trolley lines and water powers, and there will come to the entire section eventually a dt,;ree of industrial prosperity and I universal development unequaled out- i ?ide of New England, if duplicated I there. An illustration of this point is ! offered by the development at Great Falls, wiiere the ilepublic Cotton Mills have practically completed not only a cotton factory with 25,000 spindles and 1000 looms, but where there has been built a complete mill town, with tenements, hotels, stores, offices, ware houses. church, school, etc. A thor oughly modern sewer system and wa ter works have been ins'talled, each tenement being supplied with modern sanitation, electric lights and filtered sterilized water. The great number ‘of features about the mill and village I which are out of the usual trend must I result not only in the comfort of the ! operatives, but will provide a valua ble asset and be reflected as a profit in the superior labor the mills will be able to secure and hold. While the plans of the Republic Cot ton Mill» Company are probably some what more elaborate than those of any other newly devised mill within the zone of development, yet the tendency, wherever any new construction Is un- idertaken, is to provide iacilities of the I Kreatest efficiency, and this is inter- ! preted as meaning comforts for the em- ploycs as well as cheapness and avail ability of power for the factories. Mr. Robert S. Mebane, of Graham, X. C., a member of the well-known and long-e&tablished family of cotton mill operators of that name in th© Caxo- lina’s. Is president of the Republic Mills, but th© Duke Interests have stock in the enterprise, and are taking stock in a number of other mills. It will be tlieir plan to foster enterprises which are properly manned and pos sess' merit. There has been some apprehension among those identified with the South ern railv.'ay that since the Dukes elec tric lines will parallel much of the Southern railway system in the central South, the effect on the Southern rail way might be to lessen the business which that company now secures. There is a very decided opinion to the contrary entertained by a number of people Avho have taken pains to Investigate the situation. Tliis opin ion, entertained by those who are friends of the Southern Railway, as well as others who would welcome competition at any cost, is that there would be greatly increased prosperi ty for tile entire section, so that the Southern Railway need not necessari ly be hurt in the end. Moreover, it is believed that these interurban devel opments will doubtless result in the Southern Railway adopting various methods of improving its local trans portation facilities between the Pied mont towns. Probably that might be done by introducing the independent combined motor and car, which is be coming popular in many localities. At any rate, it is- the common belief that such competition as will be introduc ed by the Duke interests will stimu late the Southern Railway to its very best work, so that the entire section will be distinctly benefitted by the development. Incidental to the development of w’a- ter power, transmission lines and in terurban electric railways, various plans of not only s-ectional, but nation al and international importance, are b ing worked out by Mr. Duke. For instance, nothing could be of much greater importance than Mr. Duke's plans to revive and extend American cotton trade with the Orient. It is stated that the American cotton spin ners have los-t at least $20,000,000 of trade in the decline in the China and Japan business. Mr. Duke proposes, in brief, the establishing of depots Inj the Orient and the bringing of the cot ton mills in closer contact with the Chinese traders. The plan bas been re ceived with much favor by the South ern cotton mill operators, and with Mr. Duke’s genius for working out plans and methods, it is believed that his efforts will meet with marked suc cess. Also unique and original is the proposition to uti\jze the water power for the manufacture of fertilizer from the air. At Great Falls a 4000 horse power plant is being installed at a cost of $125,000, which will produce 3000 tons of fertilizer per year, wortli from $45 to $50 per ton, with perhaps some by-product. The material for the plant is now being placed on the ground, the machinery coming from. Germany. The plant will make nitric acid and treat Iknestone with nitric acid, giving nitrate of lime, which 1& equal in fertilizing value to nitrate of soda. By a very interesting chemical pro cess, discjovered by the Germans, nitric acid is taken from the atmosphere by passing the atmosphere through in tense heat, an electric arc, giving 3,- 000 degrees, fixing the nitrogen in the air so it will combine with other chem ical products, forming nitrous oxide. By mixing this -^^ith water, nitric acid is obtained, the chemical formula be ing N02, with water added, HN03. It is an interesting and Important fact in this connection that the main source of nitrate of soda is a narrow^ strip of land between the Andes and coast hills, which is a rainless district, and there from countless ages fixation of nitrates has been going on on account of atmospheric and soil conditions. In 1860 about 68,000 tons were derived from this source. In 1900 1,453,000 tons were used. The quantity has been increasing continually, so that last year Germany used 650,000 tons. It is estimated that within the next 15 or 20 years the Chile supply will be entirely exhausted, and under these circumstances, as has been pointed out by Mr. W. S. Lee, vice-president and chief engineer of the Southern Power Company, the electric compa nies will be called upon to furnish not only power, but an increasing sup ply of the most essential element in fertilization the lands of the country require. Even this brief outline of the plans and purposes of the Southern Power Company, v/ill give some idea of the enormous magnitude and benefits which the great variety of Its un dertaking will bring to the Piedmont section of the Carolinas. M. ISSUED IN ciiy [ CO. T Special to The News. Raleigh, Jan. 13.—In his biennial rej)ort to the governor and the gen eral assembly State Commissioner of Insurance James R.

He urges that a contingent fund for ills department be provided an dre- views the fact that the state re ceives through his department ap proximately $265,000 per year with total expenses of the department amounting to only $13,000. He feels that he ought to be relieved of hav ing to pay $500 or more incidental expenses out of his pocket each year. EMPLOYES OF FRISCO SYSTEM ROB ROAD. I By Associated Press. Marked Tree, Ark., Jan. 13.—That employes of the “Frisco System” have been systematically robbing the rail road for a number of months and that, in the aggregate, the alleged thievery will reach a substantial amount is de clared by special agents of the road who have caused the arrest of four employes of the local office. According to the railroad officials, E. E. Merchant, a telegraph operator and former employe of the Frisco, who was arrested in Memphis several days ago, has confessed and outlined the plan of operation said to have been employed in detail.

Norman, telegraph operator; Clarence Cable, freight clerk, and a negro freight handler, will be held pending further investigation by the officials of the , road.
