Tbs Spoacar Mmtila Cam • pup Is is—Now Vhal About tbs Sostbsra Powor Company? Tbe question of granting franchises to tho Power com ponies seems to b« agitating tbe city board of .aldermen. Tbe town has made a 10 year con tract with the Spencer Moun tain Company for power. The Spencer Mountain company is to fnrnisb power to the town, and tbe town will do a lighting business as they have doue be fore. By this contract the town will save something like three thousand dollar* annually. But tbe town will uot furnish power for the various manufac turing enterprises in town, near ly all of which will in the near future use electricity as a motive power in place of steam. Mr. C. B. Armstrong, secre tary and treasurer of the Clara Cottoa Mills, has made a con tract with the Spencer Moun tain Comnanv for oower to run hta mill. Many of the other cotton milla in town expect to get power from the Southern Power Company. The South ern Power Company is coming to Gastonia with power. The board of aldermen want it, the best interests of the town demand It. Tbc manager oi the Sontbcrn Power Company claima that bit company does not want to do commercial light ing in the city. All they want to do is to furnish power to the wills. The Southern Power Co. hss unlimited capital and with an almost absolute control of Catawba river, will be in a position wbeu their power is fully developed to compete with the town in commercial light ing. Some people think that the towo should go out of the light ing business, altogether and tarn the matter over to some power company, binding tbc company by s contract which will guaran tee a good service and make all power compaay's doing a busi ness in town pay a franchise tax. Charlotte is lighted by the Catawba Power Company which is a branch of Southern Power Company. Charlotte gets her lights at half the former coat and the town has nothing to do with collecting light bills and the like. What the board of aldermen intend to do is for the town to do a commercial light ing business as they have dose before, and giant the Southern and Spencer Mountain Compa nies franchises to do business here provided they do not com pete with the town in the light ing of private residences and other places where only a small amount of power is required. The Sontbcrn Power Com pany of Charlotte has com pleted its plana and surveyed its route to Gastonia. Work lias be gan on the line which will be bnilt to Gastonia on steel towers. Gastonia will be ia the Char lotte division of the Southern Power Company. The Spencer Mountain Company will also build a line to Gastonia in ad dition to town line, for the pur pose of furnishing power for cotton mills.__ riSOAH AND ALL HEALINO.

The aim* pie reason for the change was that a bettei offer was given bp the latter Sow. the dtfcranoe in commiaaioo being something like 1 yi pet cent. The amount of the accoants involved is close to $6,000,000, which would re* •nit is n saving of approximate ly $90,000 nn a nally. The mills transferring their accounts were the Piedmont Mills, at Piedmont, S. C., operating 66,* 010spindles and 2,066 looms; tbePdser Mills, at Pelrer, S. C.. operating 130,000 spindles and 3,400 looms; th« Ninety-Six Mills. St Ninety-Six. S, C., op erating 12,500 spindles and 316 looms; the WiUUmiton Mills, at Williamstos. S.

C.. operating 54,000 spindles and 1, 4o0 looms. This is believed to be the be ginning of a general movement among independent mills for lower commission charges.
