LOOK OUT SHOALS.
To Be Developed At Once By
The Southern Power Co.
R. R LINE MAY RUN FROM HERE
It Will Help The Great System To
Carry Its Big "Load" of Elec
trical Current, Now Trans
mitted From Greeville
to Greensboro.
The Southern Power Go. has
decided to push the development
of its fine water power at Look
out Shoals near the joining of
the Catawba and Iredell County
lines. It will give a develop
ment of 16,000 H. P. It is said
a railroad will be built either
from Statesville or Hickory-to
the works to haul cement and
other supplies. The people of
this city would like to see
Hickory the terminus of that
line.
The plant will mean much for
this immediate section, and will
stimulate industiial development
like a tonic. The Charlotte Ob
server tells of the plans of the
power company as follows.
The issue confronting the di
rectors of the great hydro-elec
tric corporation was that of im
proving the Wateree site, the
Fishing Creek site, or that of
Lookout Shoals, the first named
being situated near Camden, S.
C. and the latter near Statesville.
The North Carolina development
was chosen for the reason that
it occupies the strategic position
with reference to the present
"load" of the system and for the
second reason that the experts
anticipate a great industrial
growth in this general territory.
ORIGIN OF CURRENT.
All of the current now being
generated is found in South Car
olina, in the lower half of the
transmission field, the power be
ing transmitted therefrom into
the upper territory, either from
the CktaWba, Great Falls, Rocky
Creek or Ninety-Nine Islands
stations; The three first named
stations are located on the Ca
tawba river and the last are
on the Broad River. Had
the Wateree site been it
would have thrown the point of
origin of power for .transmission
even lower down, in fact almost
to Columbia. While the. loss in
transmission is relatively small
at high voltage; it is a factor and
hence the determination of the
officials to select a power to rein
force the load in the upper por
tion of the transmission area.
The Wateree development will
doubtless come when the officials
decide to enter South Carolina
capital or the territory farther
South.
The Southern Power Company
is now distributing current all
over Piedmont: Carol na from
Greenwood on the south to
and Raleigh on the
i. rch. Throughout this expanse
of territory, there are thousands
of miles of transmission lines,
carrying the current to all cities,
villages and hamlets and operat
ing all sorts of industrial plants
from cotton gins to cotton mills
employing thousands of opera
tives, Cities are being lighted,
and even a railroad is being op
erated—the Interurban. In fact
there is hardly any sort of enter
prise that is not paying its share
of toll to this great hydro-electric
corporation.
No dificulty at all is anticipat
ed in "tieing-in" this develop
ment at Lookout Shoils with the
general system for the transmis
sion line that stretched from
Statesville to Hickory was run
with this very purpose in view.
The 16,000 horse power will be
thrown directly into the system,
thereby materially strengthening
and augmenting the load in this
territory, It is estimated that it
will require one year and some
thing over one million of dollars
to complete the work.
POWER IN SERVICF,
The Southern Power Company
now has in service 76,200 kilo
watts or 102,000 horse power of
electrical energy. This is dis
tributed as follows: Great Fall,
32,000; Kocky Creek, 32.000;
Ninety Nine Islands, 24,000: Ca
tawba, 10,000 and Saluda, 3,500.
In addition, there are two aux
iliary steam plants at Greenville,
S. C. and Greensboro, generating
on c.alf 20,000 horse power, and
a third plant at Mt. Holly, is
nearing completion, which will
srive 10,000 horsepower addition.
Tais fcives 122,000 horsepower
now in service with 10.000 addi
tional in the course of a few
mouths, making in all 132,000
THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT
horsepower. When the Lookout
Shoals development is flushed,
the Southern Power Company
wili have 148,000 horsepower in
service m Piedmont . Carolina.
These figures are almost stagger
ing when one comes to consider
the equivalent in units of ''man
power" energy. T\ie Irishman's
definition of a horsepower is the
energy consumed when a pound
weight is phced over a steam
valve and a horsepower applied,
wnich wili throw the weight
33,000 feet into atmosphere,
| if such on altitude is possible.

Where to Put Bryan.
Parker An Jerson's Washington Letter.
Greensboro News
It is virtually certain that Mr.
Bryan has the option of becom
ing either secretary of state or
ambassador to Great Britain.
The latter place, it is hoped by
the democratic leaders of the
house, will be acceptable to Mr.
Bryan. With Bryrn in London
be would he less liable to create
dissatisfaction and the resultanc
factional fights among the lead
ers when the tariff is revised.
The feeling between Mr. Clark
and Mr. Bryan cannot be exag
gerated. Mr. Clark it can be
said upon the best authority not
only will not stand for suggest
ions by Mr. Bryan but tbe speak
er of the house will positively
refuse to speak to the Nebraskan,
While Leader ynderwobd has
nothing personal against tne
Commoner he will, as -he has
done before, ignoie the sugges
tions of Mr. Bryan. Hence the
leaders in Washington will feel
much more at ease should Mr,
Bryan be sent to the court of St.
James.
Then there is no reason to
doubt that Mr, Bryan i& seeking
the democratic presidential nom
ination in 1916. If it •, Joe true
that the Nebraskan entertains
such ambitions his present alter
native of identifying or not
identifying himself with the
Wilson administration is regarl
-• das an embarrassing one. The
Baltimore platform contained a
a plank committing the party
and its nominee to the principal
of one term presidency. But
while asserting the principle, the
plank does not in term 3 limit
Wilson, under the preaent con
ditions, to one term. If Wilson
should seek a renomira ion, it is
foreseen that Bryan the premier
of the Wilson cabinetand yet an
opponent of the New Jersev man,
would be charged with disloyal
ty. It would be a situation in
which Blaine found himself in
1892; though Harrison's secre
tary of state, he was the princi
pal candidate against Harrison

FUNERAL OF MASTER
"SEUFIE" WHITENER
Eight Play Mates March Be-
side the White Casket.
A LIFE OF PROMISE QUENCHED
Dr. Murphy Pays A Beautiful Trib
ute To His Manly and Mannerly
Little Neighbor—A Brave
But Futile Fight For
Life.
The funeral of Shuford White
ner was held at the Reformed
church Thanksgiving day at 2
o'clock in the afternoon, the ex
ercises being conducted by Dr.
Murphy. There were mpny re
latives present from the country,
and a large concourse from all
over the city attended the es
teem and affection in which this
little boy was held. "Safe in the
Arms of Jesus" and other hymns
of comfo**t were sung.
Dr. Murphy paid a beautiful
iribute to the departed, who was
his nearest neighbor as well as a
lamb of his flock. He spoke of
his sunny nature, his politeness,
his manliness. "I never weni
away," he said, "that Shuford
did not hope I would have a good
time, and I never returned but
he had a heartfelt welcome for
me. I suppose the last words he
sp ke were addressed to me, the
morning of the day he died. On
entering the room I said, 'How
are you Shuford?*'' and he re
plied: 4 I am better. I thank you'
"And who shall say he is net
better," ask the pastor.
Dr. Murphy had received the
bov into the ehurch at his own
request, and he believed he was
a true little onristian.
He did want to live but he was
not unaware of the nature ef his
malady and was ready to go.
The honorary pall-bears were
8 little boys, piavmates and close
friends of the little boy. They
were William Councill, Donald
and Sterling Menzies, Robert
Garth, Charles Menzies, Richard
Boyd, Tommy Henderson and
Clement Geitner. They marched
beside the little white coffin in
the herase, four on either side,
while the active pall-bearers
marched behind it, they beinsr
Messrs. Hugh D'Anna, Rob
Martin, James Shuford, Adrian
Shuford, Frank Henderson and
Neal Clark.
No boy ever made a braver
fight for life than "Shufie," as
his friends called him. He be
gan to decline after an accident
in playing a game. He went to a
sanitorium in Asheville for a
while last summer, and every
tning possible was done by his
devoted parents, but his strengh
was net able to hold out
Shuford was an alert and re
sourceful, as well as a friendly
boy with everybody. He had a
fire department for a while in
his father's bam, and he could
get his pony and fire wagon into
harness in a jiffy. He had a car
penter shop in the yard and was
shifty with tools. In his hearty
days of health, which now seem
so long ago, he used to ride down
the long Claremont hill sidewalk
in a home-made automobile im
provised out of a sled. A useful,
original, inventive life was re
moved from eaith's actvities
when he fell peacefully asleep
that day before the first snow of
the winter, which dropped from
the Heavens above as a mantle
for his little grave. • -
Fight Against Increasing Assesments.
A fight was made in the East
ern N. C. Conference at Fayette
ville over increasing assessments.
A protest was signed by all the
presiding elders except one, Rev.
J. E. Underwood. The protest
claimed in part that the combined
assessments had reached an a
mount in excess by 50 per cent
of the salaries, that the shurches
had not been able to meet the
increased assessments of the last
general conference, that an in
crease would desturb the equita
ble balance now existing be
tween the causes; that it would
check the hopeful tendency to
liberality in the rural churches.
A resolution opposed any increase
above the last assessments and
urged that needed increases be
raised by appeals for free will
offerings. Tne resolution was
finally withdrawn by its intro
ducers.

Tavenner Will Continne as Washing
ton Correspondent.
Correspondence of the Democrat.
LaFollf-tte's Magazine, edited
by U. S. Senator N. LaFollette,
(Republican) pays a fine com
pliment to Clyde H, Tavenner,
who has been acting for some
time past as our special Washing
ton correspondent, and who was
elected to Congress from the
Fourteenth Illinois Disk Senator
LaFollette, editorially, says:
*'Clyde H, Tavenner goes to
Congress from the Fourteenth
Illinois district. Tavenner is a
talanted young man, and a pro*
gressive Democrat. . As a news
oaper correspondent at the nat
ional capital, he earned a repu
tation for integrity, industry
and insight into the problems of
government. Given the choice
of two progressive candidates,
to represent them, the voters
selected Tavenner. We believe
this confidence in Tavenner is
not misplaced. His past per
formances give assurance of a
creditable record in the House,
against privilege in aJI forms,
against machine domination, and
for progressive principle."
This endorsement may be ac
cepted as unprejudiced, because
Senator LaFollette's magazine
is Republican. The fact is.
Tavenner won almost solely on
the merits of his Washington
letters which have appeared in
this newspaper, and which we
n ill continue to publish exclu
sively in this territory.
The extent of the magnificent
tribute paid to his work as a
writer can be best understood
when it is considered- that he
won out by 1,200 in a district
which is normally from 6,500 to
12,000 Republican, and which
has not bten represented in Con
gress by a Democrat in 22 years.
Tavenner did not have both
a Republican and Progressive
candidate agairst him, a con
dition which prevailed in many
districts and whi*h would have
made success eas : er. His oppo
nent was the regular Republican
nominee, who a ! had the ad
vantage of the strong endorse
ment and support of the Pro
gressive p»rty.

Special Washington Correspondent
Washington, Dee. 5. —Every
body wants to know about the
distribution of patronage under
the new admisistration. Every
member of Congress of Demo
cratic faith is receiving inquiries
and applications by the hundred.
■ I came on to Washington at ar.
earlier date than I intended, to
try to discover the prospects of
what will be done in a general
way, but have found ou*: nothing
valuable or tangible, President
elect Wilson, who is resting in
Bermuda, has not, so far as
generally known, given any in
formation of his inier tion on
this subject. Nothing definit;
will be known until he speaks
The only things certain at
writing are:
1, President Taft has by exe
cutive order placed all the 4tl
clasp postmasters under :he Civil
Service, that is aIJ * pos .master;;
drawing less than SI,OOO pe
annum. This means -hat the
present 4th class pos masters
will hold for life or duri ig gooo
behavior, unless president Wilsoi
revokes president Tafts order.
Whether he will revoke it no
body knows.
- 2. Most qf the place i worth
having except those wh. ih have
to be confirmed by the Senatt
have been for some tim i under
civil service. This gre.tly les
sens the number of positions
formerly available.
3. For twenty years th e custom
has been for Federal offi ;ials ap
pointed for four years, iuch as
postmasters, U. S. marshals,
etc., to serve out their terms un
less they took part in politics
during their terms. Whether
this custom will be continued it
i 3 impossible to say.
4. President Taft is said to I
have declared his intention to
fill all vacancies as soon as they
occur. But whether the Senate
will confirm his appoir tees, 01
hold up their nomination 3, it is
impossible to even guess.
. 4. The custom has been for the
patronage of any particular state
to be distribnted throi gh the
Senators and Represe ntati ves
thereof who are of the same
political persuasion as the ad
ministration, if any such there
be, and if none such, then
through the national committee
man or some dependable friend
or friends. Under that arrange
ment Representatives are de
pended upon to recommend
postmasters in Congressional dis
tricts not represented >iy Con
gressmen of the same political
faith as the President Senators
are also depended upon to re-1
eommend for martialsHps and
officers of that kind, including
departmental position s and
plaees in the consular end dis
plomatic service, and in fact all
officers not local. Of coarse, as
a rule, the Senators comult with
Representatives in these natters,
all trying to do the most possible
for their constituents.

NEEDED REFORMS.

Tax System, inadequate School
System and Other Needs
The Carolina Democrat of Mon
roe urges Governor-elect Craig
to consider the vital need of cer
tain reform in Nerth, Carolina.
It truly points out the following
as three of the greatest legisla
tive needs of the State: I
1. First, and most pressing,
we need vital reform in our tax
system. Not only is the present
system failing to produce needed
revenue, but worse than that, it
is inequitable. We place too much
burden upon poverty and too
little upon wealth. We tax labor
and then exempt its product af
ter it has passed into the nanus
of those who should bear the j
burden. The heavy poll tax that I
oar daily wage earners are com- j
pelled to pay is a disgrace upon
our state. The notorious escape
of wealth from taxation is like
wise inexcusable, Inheritance,
lands held for speculative pur
poses, and large personal posses-...
sions that 9re now escaping,
should be brouiht to bear' more
of the burdens, the small * land
holder less, and the small holder
of personal property should be
relieved. Not only must we cor
rect inequalities, but we must
provide for more revenue to
meet the just and inescapeable |
demands of progress and human- j;
ity. As all of our other under- ;
takings will be dependent upon
revenue to carry them on, we
put tax reform at the head of the
list of measures demanding at- |
tendon.
2. The next most important
steps must be- those relating to
our children and their oportuni
ty in life. This of course means
the lengthening of the ' rural
school term, a prohibition of
child labor under certain ages
coupled with a compulsory school
attendence law, and such sup
plementary acts as look toward
giving all the children a better
start in life.
8. After the above we must
cake up such demands as judicial
reform, badly needed, a primary
law, a corrupt practices act, ex
tension of the power of the cor
porations as it is not now able to
control, a more unified manage
ment or our chairitable institu
tions, and many other important
matters.
By a referendum on two Occa
sions the people of North Caro
lina have taken two powerful
forward steps. The first Was the
sufferage amendment, the second
prohibition. No State in the
Union is in a better position to
day to take up the matter of re
form than ours.
The general direction of re
form now is towards conserving
equality and opportunity for the
masses. This is what Aycock
and Mclver meant in their edu
cational campaigns. The evolu
tion of this work is in our keep
ing. We have the foundation,
ours to lay the superstructure.
