Barnes and James Williams convict ed in Rowan in 1906 of highway rob bery arfid given five years on the roads. The prosecuting witness has turned out to be a bad man and is now a fu gitive from justice. It seems that iht defendants are innnocent. Anson Goes Dry. Wadesboro, SpecialAfter an un usually quiet election prohibition went in every precinct in the county by a total majority of 603. --The very best feeling prevailed among both sides, and it is believed that the re sult will be taken as a final settlement of the whiskey question in this coun ty. The election was held to ratify a legislative enactment, providing for a medical depository similar to the one in Union county, WHITNEY DEVELOPMENT 'V One of the Most Remarkable an4 Val uable UnderUkins Ever Uadextak- en in tie South. Salisbury, Special. The great pow er plant at Whitney one of the mot stupendous if not actually the great est of undertakings of iU kind in the South is nearing completion, and it will not be a great while after the first of the year when the towns and cities within a radius of 75 miles of Whitney employing this power. ' The possibilites of the Narrows aJ a great power point were proclaimed fifteen or more years ago, by a Dela ware lawyer who took up his resi dence at New London. Later Dr. Dillon Brown, of New York, became interested in the proposition, but it was not until Capt. E. B. Hambley secured the co-operation of Mr. Geo. I. Whitnev and other Pittsburg finan ciers that the development of the power was assured. On the 2nd of February, 1905, with ample capital available to consummate the plans which Capt. Hambley had submitted work was actually begun and to this day there has been no cessation. Last week the great dam, an item that in itself cost a fortune, was completed. It is 960 feet long, 46 feet high and is so constructed as to withstand the water under any and all conditions. Of first interest, now, however, is tho canal, which is to extend from the dam to the Narrows, a distance of 4 1-2 miles. It does not parallel the river, fr such a course would have involved the penetration of mountains and high hills and rendered the un dertaking immensely more expensive. Leaving the dam it diverts to the left and every ravine and level to bo found was appropriated in the inter est of economy. Six steam shovels are employed and they are "throwing dirt with a vengeance. Thi? is just one- tenth of the steam shovels employed on the Panama Canal and yet they are getting out nearly half as many cubic yards of dirt as the Panama shovels to be exact, 42 per cent as much. At no point will this canal have a depth of less than 18 feet and the greatest depth will be 82 feet. It va nes, of course, in width, the reserva tion of power being all the while tho first consideration. In the " Avhole length of the canal there is a decline of but 129 feet, so gradual as not t be noticeable. With the completion of the canal the rest is easy. Work is to begin soon on the power house at. the Narrows and the con struction of the line by which the power is to be transmitted will be started in ample time to avoid delay in delivery. To the : mind of such as have not seen the results already realized and listened to an explanation of the plan? the significance of the undertaking can best be impressed by the dollars involved. The payroll last month was $115,000, an outlay for labor alone at the rate of $1,3S0,000 annually. Be it remembered that the work has been in progress more than two years and a half. More than half of this amount has been distributed in places of busi ness here. What has been appropriat ed for material is purely speculative except to the financial representative of the company at Whitney and the officers. The company's quarries at Whitney are among the largest in tho South and they have supplied all the granite used, thousands upon thous ands of cars. It is fairly certain, how ever, that the expense already involv ed exceeds three million dollars and when the plant is completed it will probably represent an investment of anywhere from four to five millions. The railroad from the dam to the power House, a natural lake covering 12,000 acres; the clearing and build ing up of a town embracing 600 acres which has already been surveyed; the preparation of 500 acres on the river for manufacturies, these and a half hundred other items involving big ex pense are passed up as minor items. The importance of the development of this power to Salisbury and the other towns and cities in this section within reach of the line cannot be overestimated. Only last week prom inent New England manufacturer observed that with the Whitney pow er available Piedmont North Caro lina should be the industrial center of the South, as it promises to-be. Its significance can be to some extent appreciated, when it is known that the cost of power will be reduced from 35 to 45 per cent, a difference that represents very much more than the dividends of most prosperous manu- iactones. As illustrating the effect of this matter of cheaper power upon this city, three manufacturing con cerns of ample capital are already preparing to eome to Salisbury as soon as the hitney power is avail able. More Barns Burned. ra . . M .H lnarlotte. special. Three more bams one night last week added to the list of those destroyed by fire of supposed incendiary origin during the present year. The three fires like sev eral others this year, occurred almost at the same hour. One of the barns was .west of Charlotte, belonging to Alexander Beatty, loss $400, and two east of the city, one belonging to T. J. Orr, loss $600; the other the prop- erxy pi o. t, pmitn, loss Jjoyy. SHOT M FRIEND Rash Act of a Young Man at Asheville, North Carolina NO CAUSE LOR THE TRAGEDY Httf a Poftell Shoots and Kills Almost Instantly His Room-Mate, Ed Ed wards Msch Excitement Attend bf the Killing, Wkid Took Place in Bicycle Establishment. Ashville, N. C, Special. A Bad tragedy occurred Saturday afternoou tbout 4 o'clock when Hugh rostcll, a former street car conductor and well known young man of Asheville, shot and almost instantly killed Ed. Ed wards his erstwhile govd friend and :lose companion, the killing occurring ui the rear of the J. M. llearn & Co. bicycle establishment where Edwards was at work. According to the best information jbtainable the killing was the rc&ult Df a slight quarrel staited tndsv jver a tnval matter, a matter of one lollar. Postell fired but one shot, the bullet taking effect in Edward's bead. As he fired the shot Postell Iropped the pistol and ran out of the bicycle establishment, going in the di rection of the French Broad river. A physician was summoned but Edward was dead in a few minutes. Officers at once started after Post- sll and met him in the vicinity of the river. The slayer at the time was headed back to the city, lie did not know that Edwards was dead and the first question he asked the officer was "How bad is he hurt?" When deputy Sheriff Poland informed Post 11 that Edwards was dead, the prison sr broke down and .cried like a baby, declaring that he "loved him as & brother." Edwards boarded at Post ell's home. After his arrest Postell requested that the officers allow him to go home md "tell the folks." When the pri jner and the officers went to Postell ' home they found Postell 's mother there and two of Edward's brothers The meeting was pathetic. Postell spoke a few words to the brothers of the man he had killed and again broke down. When placed in jail he was an the verge of collapse. Whether there is any motive for the ki'iing aside from that apparent on the surface is not known, none, however it" hinted at. Postell, while reticent to a degree, said that he was afraid of Edwards, that Edwards had nreatened . him bodily harm. He avers that, when he shot, Edwards had reached for something, he doesn't know what. Morgan New Traction King. New York, Special. J. P. Morgan has stepped into the arena as the new raction king, dethroning Ryan and Belmont,. The great banker, accord ing to reports current in the best quarters of Wall Street has purchas ed $20,000,000 shares of Metropolitan bonds and will undertake the reor- eanization of the local traction trust. Sis purchase of bonds has relieved at east one big banking house from des perate trouble. Morgan got the bonds at 50. These bonds were issued in exchange for Interborough Rapid Transit stock at the rate of two for one and Morgan gets equivalent Inter- j borough railroad transit stocks at par. It is paying 9 per cent, and is earning much more. France to Puisne Warring Trigesmen. Pans, By Cable. The French gov ernment telegraphed instructions to General Drude authorizing him to pursue a relentless campaign against be warring tribesmen in the Casa Blanca region and specifically permit- lng him to make a two davs march into the interior.
