| STATE FOURTH IN
HYDROELECTRIC
Has Climbed Up One Point Since
Report of One Year Ago.
Asheville,- Nov. 23 —North Caro
lina now ranks fourth among the
states of the union in development of
hydro-electric 'horsepower in use, ac
cording to the recent re]>ort of the
•United States geological survey on the
capacity of water wheels installed in
plats of 100 h. p. or more through
out the nation.
The grand total for the nation is
10.038,000 horsepower, an increase of
0. r . 1,000 or over 10 per cent, over the
total capacity of water power plants
in 1024. The report is the latest
one ’compiled by the survey and in
cludes the present year to date.
Last year North Carolina was the
fifth state in the union in the de
velopment of waterspower, and regis
ters an increase of 103,000 horsepower
for this year as compared with 1024.
In developed water power New York
leads all of the states with 1,713,551
horsepower. California and AA’ash
ington follow, with -Maine coming
after this state. Os the increase
noted for the nation it is significant
that 00 per cent was in electric pub
lic utility and only one per cent, in
the manufacturing plants.
The report points out that it is the
power development in the Middle At
lantic, South Atlantic and East South.
Central states'” that is progressing
up rapidly, and New England's rel
ative standing Ttmtimies to decrease.
The figures for North Carolina are
indicative of a steady development of
additional power to meet t'.ie increased
industrial demands. According to the
report, there are now installed in
this state 103,000 more horse power
than were available last year.
I ' Considering the relation of hydro
! electric power to textile manufacture
and other industries in the piedmont
i territory', which includes important
sections of South Carolina, the figures
are even more important.
In connection with the report of
the survey it is interesting to note
the general impetus given to water
power development in western Nortfi
Carolina by the recent water power
conference held in Asheville, when a
tentative report on the power survey
being conducted by the government on
the French Broad river and its tribu
taries was made.
Tennessee River.
Concerning the Tennessee River
survey includes the French
Broad, the state department of eon
| serration and development lias the
following to say:
“It contemplates the development
through dams, and reservoirs of the
tributaries of the Tennessee River
basin, from the point of view of regu
lating tlie tiow of the Tennessee as n
navigable stream capable of use the
year round. Such a project is of
such a site as to practically deny
any such thing us tlie possibility of
a government appropriation to make
it effective.” Tlie state agency goes
ou to say thut private capital uiuet
come in to help, and declares thut,
this will draw industries, which will
in turn make the freight traffic which
will pay for the development, in ad
dition to the waterpower which will'
be produced.
“There are aiti awful lot of girls
who don't want to get married-”

BLACKAYELDEK WRITS*
FACTS OF FLORIDA
Says Takes Experts to Make Enough
Money to Live in Florida,
i Dear Mr. Editor:
| Since I have been receiving the
I good old Tribune and reading it, I
, find a good deal in it about Florida,
. and the conditions here. Now, I think'
I I am in n position to give the public a
| few facts that might help someone
j who is contemplating a trip here. I
, ’ come in contact with people from all
i parts of the state every day. f have
, never heard but few say this place
met their expectations. But most of
•the people have been disappointed. I
1 receive letter*' every few days calling
' for a job. I could hire men every
hour if I haji work enough for them to
do. There is always something for
the right man. One great trouble here
J now is too many men claiming to have
some trade and getting a job and can’t
give production. Another is short
age of materia). I see hundreds of
, buildings Here that were under con
struction and are unfinished and not
■ a man on them or any material to be
seen on the job. AA’e have four lum
ber dealers here and I believe a ear
load of lumber would take all they
; have. Lime, cement and plaster js
not so difficult fn obtain us it was a
. few weeks ago. I am hauling from
three different towns and dm stocking
, ahead.
Now there are but few buildings be
! ing started at present. Contractors
are refusing to bid on anything unless
they etui obtain material first. Build
ing here is three or four times as ex
pensive as it is iu North Carolina.
Any kind of lumber costs from SBO
to $l3O per thousand feet. Labor is
two or three times more than in North
Carolina. But wages for commuu la
bor will not support a man here. Un
less he lives close lie can't make it.
Five dollars a day sounds good to a
man without n trade. But every
body is dollar crazy. $27.50 a week
js just about equal to half that
amount in Concord. Truck drivers'
are getting $5.00 per day. common lab
or $4 .00 per day. The cost of living I
is front $12.50 to $20.00 per week.
So the public can readily see there is
nothing for common labor. Men are
coining ami going daily, and it seems
as if the public thinks all they need
is to pick the money dp. But there
is mi awful mistake. Now the real
mechanic can make good here. But
liviug conditions is a problem to
study. And I am trying to get the
unskilled labor to take warning and
stay at home or have a good roll of
money they, wish to cqt loose from. I
am not a kmn'tp-r and have nothing to
say against Florida, but it is. not the
place for a man without money or a
trade. lam leaving here for North
Carolina December 17th aud will be.
in Concord about the-20th, and can
tell, anyone more than I can write,
I am milking good and have a good
crew of men. AA’e are trying to do our
bit for the East Coast Building Ser
vice. The company offers me half
pay while I am on my trip home, and
?100 per week when I return Jan
uary Ist. I am expecting to spend A
year here if conditions justify it. But
I am in no position to care for any
more meiT at tills time.
Thanking you for past favors, I
remain,
A'ery truly yours,
AV. It. BLACKAVELDEIt.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
- An Occasional Column
, By MILES WOLFF
Fortune is smiling on me. Within
the last few days. I have received two
contributions which will necessitate
that I do but « minimum of work for
some time to come.
, As.l was on my way out tb dinner
Saturday evening, I stopped at my
office to take a last look at the sain -
\ tum before tucking it to bed for the
, night. There, on the typewriter was
-a letter from Kannapolis, detailing
the delights incurred in reading my i
. semi-occasional effusions. Then yes-!
terday, another letter came with a
manuscript enclosed from a friend
, with whom I had been in tbnversation
, previously. I shall present these two j
today.
The Concord manuscript is by one |
of the gay young things who flap t
r round the city from time to time.
Here it is:
“AA’riting for u newspaper is en
tirely new to me. I am certainly
writing tinder difficulty. Mr. AA’nlf,
was. wishing that lie had a contribu
tor to his column and bemoaning tin
fact that there were not enough .liter
ary people in Concord who would con
tribute. I thought l was doing ex
actly the right thing when I offered
my assistnnace and told him that I
would be glad to contribute to his
column every Tuesday. I could see
at once that. I had made a terrible
mistake. He was quite taken bank.
Os course, being a perfi-ct gentleman,
and me a lady at that, there was noth
ing much he could say. He mustered
up his courage and the expression that
pusstSi over his fare reminded me of
the way one feels when stepping into
a cold shower on a chilly'morning. But
he came out strong with :
“ ‘That would be lovely—l shaff
expert u contribution Tuesday.’ Any
one with eyes not half so keen as mine
could see that it had given him quite
a jar.
“Naturally writing under these cir
cumstances does not 'call forth the ,
best in me, but I am determined to
make good. So, I warn you fair read
ers that from now on you can expect
me every Tuesday.
“Most likely you thought that was
a splendid stopping place. But 1
want this column to be n success, and
I notice that most of the successful
speakers ami preachers don't do it.
Sunday morning, for instance, the
preacher said ’Finally’ three times
and ‘in conclusion' twice, but he kept
right on going -strong. I am determin
ed to do this thing lip in the most ap
proved method ami brevity will nit
be one of iits chief attractions. You
will have to look to it for higher
things.
‘‘l'll admit Fm not saying much 10-
day. but it is essential, if not abso
lutely necessary, that we become pc
| quaimed. It is harsh if not well nrgli
impossible, to give your best to a per
fect stronger. I have enjoyed meet
ing you and promise you that 1 will
have a rital treaV for you next Tues*
: day. GLKNNA.
From Kannapolis comes the follow
ing ■'
’’l have been reading your columns
.with interest .’’-writes Miss Violn Wal
ters. “ever since you have been writ
, ing them.

newspaper of your own published. I '
think it would be more popular titan.

“I clip your writings from tin- pa

“Laying all jesting aside now .1
enjoy your columns because they are
so ludicrous.

TAVO DAYS
OR
A Shrinking Soul Laid Bare
I wandered hitherward and yon.
My mind engaged in -silent meditation,
AYhen all at once my soul was scared
As-ill the gntll'ring gloom 1 peered
And saw a brute ill form of man
Beating his dog in mighty aggravation,
v.
Boldly I forward stepped and said:
"Cease! Stop! Desist! Don't touch
him now—
“For if you do I truly vow
"They shall find you lying dead.”
Next day I to a football game
Betook myself. And there with glee
Applauded while the players rode to

ATE TOO FAST *
South Carolinian Took Black-
Draught For Indigestion, and
Say# He Could Soon Eat
Anything.
Ballentine, S. C.—Mr. W. B.
Bouknlght, of this place, gave Ju
following account of his use of
Thedford’s Black-Draught.
“Just after I Carried I had indl- j
gestlon. Working out, I got in the
habit of eating fast, for which I \
soon paid by having a tight, bloated !
feeling after meals. This made me
very uncomfortable. I would feel I
stupid and drowsy, didn’t feel like I
working. 1 was told it was indl- j
gestlon. J3ome one recommended
Black-Draught and I took It after !
meals. I soon could eat anything
any time.
“I use It for colds and bilious- !
ness and it will knock out a cold
and carry away the bile better and
i quicker than any liver medicine I
have ever found.”
Eating too fast, too much, or
faulty chewing of your food, often
causes discomfort after meals. A |
pinch of BJ&ck-Draught, washed
down with a swallow of water, will
help to bring prompt relief. Bloat
ed • sensations, eructations, bad
breath and other common symptoms
of indigestion have disappeared i
after Black-Draught has been taken
for several days. NC-164
