M firth 31. For a long time the inviting possibility of the development of the splendid water power at Monntain Island, on the Cataw ba, haa been discussed, and Charlotte people have had a well formed opinion that it was only a question of time nntil the pow er would be developed to gener ate electricity for the use of manufacturing enterprises in this city. It appears that while the public has been talking of possi bilities and speculating on prob abilities the owners of this prop erty hare quietly gone to woik to develop the power. Without the blowing of trumpets, opera tions hive Degun, and it ia pre sumed that they will be pushed until the power ia folly devel oped. Tbe first public intimation of wbat is being done at tbis point comes from Tbe American Cot ton Manufacturer, of tbis city, which says in its issue of this week: "It is rumored that a concrete foundation ia being laid, with the object in view of developing the fine water power on the Cataw ba river, about 14 miles north west of tbit city mud generally recognised as the Mountain Isl and property. Should this property be used as a power to develop electricity, a ready mar ket can be fourfd in tbis city for Us total horse-power, which is said to aggregate some ten or twelve thousand. "Nothing which has happened in tbe past twenty years could equal the great benefit which our city can derive from the devel opment of thia property, and the conveying of the electric current to .Charlotte, It would mean the springing into existence of a small diversified manufac turing establishment, perhaps among which would doubtleas be certain weaving agd similar kin dred plants, similar to tbe thous ands which now flourish around Philadelphia,-and to which city millions of pounds of the pro duct of our local mills are ■hipped annually. The Mountain Island proper ty ia controlled by Baltimore capitalists and it is generally understood that they bought It with the intention of ultimately developing the poweT, The in formation that this ia to be done in the immediate future will be received with pleasure by the business men and citizens of this city generally. There Is no end of small and diversified manufacturing enter prises that could be secured for Charlotte after tbe introduction •of cheap electric power in the city. • The Boar Becevery Fran War. N«w York World. Jadged from the observation* of a repatriation officer who baa recently totired South Africa and writes to the I/mdon Times about what he taw, the Trans vaal baa pasted farther than Ore it Britain from the demoral izing effect* of war. The gov ernment centered at London has still its dragging scandal of a war office that failed and of campaigns that > were mis managed, The Boer* have to a surprising extent hnilt their homes and towns and restocked their farms. Their children sre in school dilllgent of hsbit and happy of face. If there are many things nnforgotten. it is yet true that British coonists and Boers are living side by side peacefully and with an outlook single to the development of tbe land. As to the Britain's future duty to toe conquered country, the officers conceive it to be chiefly that of strict justice. But he recommends the properly re gulated introduction of Atistic labor and the retain, for par ol development, of the ,000 assessed upon the for war expenses "It means so little to the British taxpayer*.’' be says of this money, "hat it would mesa so much to tbe future of South Africa, and thereby to the empire St large." The coat price to Britain of her "triumph at arma" In the Transvaal is high and still cir enaUative. If further trouble in Boerland ever menaces her in-, forests, it will probably take po litical, rather than warlike form, merely she can afford to neglect ao measures of justice and rea soaabl* generosity by which It may be poedble to win stout Boar hearts ou the rebound.

Wil liamt, the president of tbe South Carolina Fruit Growers associa tion. this will be one of the great est years tor peaches ever known in this state. Mr. Williams, in apeakine of tba outlook, said that with no further cold and no high wind storms the crop would exceed all expectations. A great many farmers in the Monetta and Kldge Spring sections will this year get thtfr first crop from trees planted, and the estimated crop from Ridge Spring is from sixty to eighty carloads and from Mouctta about forty. It will be necessary for the farmers to thin out the trees, however, as they will be broken with the weight. At present the trees are simply laden with masses of bloom and the young leaves have already begun to appear. The presence of these leaves serve to keep the cold and biting dew from the young fruit ana the contiuued cold of the winter has kept tbe tree* in ^ood condition for the spring chilliness._ rrM Delivery Ctrrlsrs Hits Lka Bight of Way. Concord Time* The Rural Free Delivery New* has the following interest ing piece of information: It would be well for driven of wagons to remember that all United States mail carriers have the right of way in public high way, when on duty. They can not be driven into the ditches by heavy loaded wagon* without violation oi the United States mail law, and if a collision is made by so doing and the mail delayed it will not be long there after until a deputy United States marshal will be looking for certain parties who will answer to roll call at a United States court. This law applies not only when meeting a vehicle, but applies to those in front of the mail as well, when the mail make* an effort to pass. .
