LAST EDITION PRICE FIVE CENTS Double the Number of Paid Subscribers in R.aleigh of any Other Newspaper BIG ELECTRICAL POWER PLANT DEAL Raleigh the Headquarters Fort Big New, Electrical Develop ment Company SOI OF PLANS OF THE COMPANY Yadkin River Tower Company, of Which Mr. Charles K. Johnson is , President, Ituys Rockingham power Company and All Its Prop erty and Franchises in Anson and Richmond Counties Is Already Surveying Transmission Line From Raleigh to Other Towns $1,()00,(00 Mortgage Filed to Float ltond Issue Development Means Riff Things for Raleigh. Some weeks ago a- corporation was chartered at Raleigh known as the; Yadkin River Power Company with an authorized capital of J4.000.000. Since that time there have been numerous rumors of bis things to be done In the electrical line with Raleigh as the center of operations and the Carolina Power and Light Company and the Yadkin River Power Company as the participants In this big movement. As Col. ("has. K. Johnson Is the president of both corporations it was scon tlint whatever development took place would greatlv affect Raleigh. Today The Times gives its readers the clulve Mory. A. deed and mortgage were filed with the register of deeds of Wake county todav tliat insures something wonder ful In the future for this city. The deed was from 'Edgar Clifford Potter and wife Alice Taylor Potter, of New ton. Mussina parties of the first part and ronvevs what .was '.known as the Rockingham Power Company with all Its real, personal property premises and franchises In Anson and Richmond counties to the Yadkin Power .Com pany, the consideration being one dol lar and other valuable considerations. The deed covered 28 single space 1 typewritten pages and covers also n certain mortgage formerly given to the Knickerbocker Trust. Company, of . New York. A few minutes after .the filing or this deed, a mortgage was filed by the Yad kin Rive? Power Company to the old Colony Trust Company us trustee cov ering all of the above deed lor the Issue of $13,000,000 first mortgage sr vear 3 per cent gold bonds. Register of Deeds Anderson saw the big deed and counted up the fee, he wiis all ex citement but later wiien he looked at the. big mortgage, printed like a book, and was told' it was for $15,000,00, he al most collupsed. When President Johnson of these two big corporations was seen at his office he said those things would explain some of the rumors about the big developments that are coining to Ral eigh. Only a few days ago these peo ple purchased eleven and one half acres f luand west of the state fair grounds , on which they are going to erect an immense station. They, are now sur veying their transmission lines from .'Rockingham to Raleigh and also from Raleigh to Durham, Raleigh to Hen derson, Ooldsboro, Fayetteville and other nearby towns and the land just purchased west of Raleigh will be used lor big transformer stations. The Carolina Power nnd Light Com pany Is the owner of ihese other cor porations nhd the development that Is coming to this elty nnd section through them cannot be foretold at the present. The great Hlewitt Falls Power Plant is to be fnllv developed and that power brought to Riileigh nnd from lure It will bo handled direct to all the towns and factories In this section of the state. A to what iiiterurnan de velopment will come from this is not known" at the present as their plans have not been fully developed along that line. One thing is certain, Raleigh is now to be the base of operations of orte of the biggest ..electrical corpora tions in the country and the ubove facts give only a glimpse of what Is tocome to this city through this great company. With the. Southern Power Company headed from Charlotte to C.ieensboro nnd Durham with their great inter urbanrailway and the formation of this big corporation here for the develop ment of such a vast amount of power, the possibilities for this whole section of the state cannot be estimated. Gov. W. V. Kltchln Now a Red Man. "Occoneechee" Tribe No. 16 of the Improved Order of Red Men, of Ral eigh, conferred the three degrees -or the order "on Gov. W. W. Kltchln last Friday night, 7th.
