Official announcement baa
bcca made by tbe Southern
Power Company of it· plan*
abottly to commence work oa
two tresb power »ite«, one at tbe
Ninety-Nine Ial&nd· on tbe
Broad river, aix mile· sontb of
Blackabnrg, S. C.. and tbe
otber at Rocky Creek, two mile·
below tbe Great Pall· station,
on the Catawba river. Tbe
development at tbe Ninety Nine
Islands will produce 16,000
* while that at Rocky Creek, will
Sroduce 90,000 of electrical
orae-power. Tbe total coat of
tbeae two development· will ap
proximate $3,000,000. Both will
be completed by Jannary 1st.
1908.
Mention was made a few daya
ago of tbe addition of $2,500,000
to tbe capital of the Southern
Power Comoany. That corpo
ration now haa the largest
capital of any haviog head
quarter· in Charlotte. It owns
tbe water right· for 110 mile·
along the Catawba river and
controls tbe following named
power Lite·; At tbe Catawba
falla, near Rock Hill, 8. C.; at
Mountain Iiland,near Charlotte;
at tbe Lookout Sboala, near
Newton; at the Horseford
Sboala, near Hickory; at Lands
ford, near Lancaster, S. C.; at
the Ninety-Nine Islands, near
Blacks burg, S. C. ; at Great
Palis, near Port Lawn, S. C.,
and the Wateree power, near
Camden, S. C. Tbe 150,000 of
electrical borse-power which
will be generated at tbeae dif
ferent pointa will be tranamitted
to cover a territory 150 milea in
length and 100 milea in width.
Tbu territory atretcbea from
Tayloraville, on tbe north, to
\ Columbia, S. C., on Ithe aoutb;
and from Greenville, S. C., on
tbe west, to Oarhngtoo, S. C..
on tbe east. Cotton, m ilia and

thU power in time will be •veil
able.
The Catawba fall· develop
ment near Rock Hill, S. CM waa
the irst finished. It· 10,000 of
electrical horse-power waa dis
posed of very shortly after It bad
been pieced upon the market.
The big development at Great
Palls, 10 milea below Port Lawn,
8. C., waa tbea begun. Iu 40,
000 of electrical horae-power will
be available early in January·
Already between IS,000 aod 20,·
000 horae power, or about one
half of thia «apply, baa been
aold. Negotiation· are pend
ing for the remainder. The of·
Sctaia of the Southern Power
Company believe that the entire
output of tk* Oreat Pall· station
will be aold before a tingle wheel
tnrna. After the first οI (be
year, there will be little power
available from the present de
velopment.
Realising thia, the officials of
the company met some time ago
aod agreed to bayia a develop
ment which would meet the de
mands of this territory for some
da* to come. Tbev determined
to ecan up a· quickly as poa·
aible, not one power station, hot
two, capable of «reducing be
tween 45,000 ana 50,000 borse
power of electrical energy. With
that already on the market, thfa
won Id give the Southern Power
Company the control of approx
imately 100,000 by January let,
When week waa commenced
talk* Oreat Pilli station Laat
m
year, a portion of the carrent
Kuerated there «ru intended to
transmitted to the mill· about
Qaffoey, Blackaburg, Spartan
bare and Greenville, S. C. The
demand ol the mills abont Rock
Hill, S. C., Gaatonia and Char
lottr, however, were so insistent
tnat practically all of tbe current
was disposed of there. In order
then to sstisfy tbe demsnds of
the mills about Spartanburg,
G■ finer >nd Greenville, S. C.,
It was decided to begin the de
velopment of tbe power at the
Ninety-Nine Islands, six miles
from Blacktbnnr and about 32
miles from Spartanburg.
The plan* and specifications
for the work there have already
been drawn. Some of tbe con
tracts for the machinery will be
let within 30 days. The build
ing of tbe tensnt bouses for tbe
worker* snd the clearing away
of the land will be begun at
once.* The 16.0U0 of electrical
horse-oower which will be gen
erated at that plant will go to
aupply tbe needs of the mills in
tbe adjacent cities.
Tbe power which is to be de
veloped on the Catawba, two
milea below the Great Palls
station house, which will be
known ss tbe Rocky Creek
power, will produce 30,000 horse
power. Transmission lines will
connect this station with tbe oac
just above it, and the current
will be carried to tbe distrib
uting center at the Catawba
station, oear Rock Hill, S. C.
Power will be supplied the mills
in Chester, Lancaster, Union,
S. C., and elsewhere in the ter
ritory where needed.
The work on tbe Rocky Creek
power has already commenced.
A quantity of material has been
moved from tbe Great Palls
station and tbe erection of the
store houses, tenant houses,
etc., will commence at once.
Tbe clearing of tbe stream and
tbe work ο Γ preparation for the
actual development is alreadv
under wsy.

The King's Mountain Çhapter
of the Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution has done itself
proud in the entertainment of
the State conference of that
order this week. Though not
the most exclusive perhaps, the
D. A. R. is easily the most
representative and distinguished
women's organization in South
Carolina. It inclndea among its
membership a large per cent age
of distinguished members of
distinguished families, and its
average of wealth, culture and
intellect is high. Ill represen
tatives slso are women who are
acquainted with and accustomed
to all that is best and highest
in the social development of the
State. The creditable enter
tainment of people of this kind
calls for thorough acquaintance
and familiarity with require
ments of good usage, and it is
an open secret that all of the
visitors are thoroughly de
lighted. They have nid so and
not a few of tbefa are disposed
to emphasise the fact that the
present conference has beea
even more successful and enjoy
able than any of the thoroughly
successful and enjoyable con
ferences that have gone before.
The- King's Mountain chapter
is getting a large share of the
praise.
