The recital given Tuesday night at ClaremontCollege proved the excellence of the talent gath ered there this session. Miss Ol ive Walling and Miss Mary Rice were the musicians, Miss Walling playing violin and piano, and singing, with great sweetness and expression, three songs from Grieg and McDowell. Her mas tery of the violin, that most ex. pressiveof all instruments, is perfect. If we were asked to name the chief charm of her work, both in voice and on either piano or violin, we would say that it is her interpretation of the feeling expressed in the music. Miss Rice is a fine pianist and perfect as accompanist, a hard post to fill, by the way. Mrs Read recided, as no one else can recite, three selections irom Southern authors. James Lane Allen's "Romance of the White Cowl" being one. Thomas Nelson Page's delightful sketch "How Jenny eased her Mind ' another and, finest of all, above the others as a star of the first magnitude is above a cluster in the milky way, Sidney Lanier's Marshes of Glyn," or rather, a quotation from that lovely poem. It was, as one in the audience remarked, at the close "a Mag nificent poem, magnificently ren dered." Mrs. Read was feeling ver; ill, and thought . c he did her work badly, but no one else thought so. Mrs. Wiener's Famous Street Hats. The Triumphs of our Millinery Department are Truly Gratifying.

Mr. Dowd is an orator and a fine debater. Come out and I hear him discuss the prevail. I ing issues. r f WATER POWER. \ / S N. Northern Capitalists Coming to Invest a Million Dollars With Us. As mentioned in our last issue, capitalists have been here with a view to developing the water power on the Catawba near here. The results have been most sat isfactory. They have taken over the holdings of the Thornton Light and Power Co.,in town. The shoals and lands on the Catawba belonging" to Col. M. E. Thornton. Also they have the Odeli properties or Horse ford Shoals. Thus thev will have a superb plant, capable of furnishing Hickory and adjacent towns with ail necessary power. Lenoir, Maiden, Newton, Granite 1 ' Falls, are some of the towns ] which will benefit. The power • er house and dam will be built 1 about-two and a half miles be- 1 low the bridge. This - bridge will be raised some twelve * feet. Engineer Wenger is of opinion that it will be some ten 1 months before the entire plant i is complete. The cost of devel- opment will be about one million. The first installation will be for i 8000 horse power. The capacity, according to the stage of the , will be from 20,000 to 30- ( 000 horse power. This will en- ( able the people to utilize the J power at a cost of about thirty dollars per horse power. Side tracks will connect the plant with the C. & N-W. Railway at 1 the Cliffs. The people of Hickory and the entire section owe much to Col. Thornton in this matter. He has never lost, in the face of much discouragement, his faith in the commercial and in dustrial future before us. He has gone to great expense and sacrificed much to carry out what promises to be the greatest scheme for development we have ever had. Our people are now awake to the advantages opened up to them, and are ready to take hold of them intelligently. l here appears to have grown ' some misconception of Col. Thornton's position in the mat ter. He has not sold his interest , in the water power, but instead J' has taken a large block of stock In the Hydro-electrio Company and will be the only one in Hick ory or in the South to have Stock ] in the million and a half com- 1 pany. But he positively refused to take any office in the new 1 Company as he proposes now to proceed with the development of i the Street ani Inter-urban Rail* way system, and he would have ] to deal with the Hydro-electric Co., for power to operate the trolley cars. Col. Thornton, however, had given them an op- i tion on the' Thornton Light & i Power Co., for $75,000.00 to be in cash, and while he took some less, it was only that part that ' he nas sold. It is understood that he is to receive a good many thousands in shares of the stock of the new Co. for his interests in the shoals and for promoting the enterprise While the company will be only $1,500,000.00 the Street Car j Co., as proposed by Col. Thorn. 1 ton, will be not less than 7,500, 000. This he proposes to make I "The God. send of Western North Carolina/' Society News.
