r c A. THE REVIEW REIDSVILLE, N. C. March 2, 1909. The Reidsville Review TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS. THE REVIE W COMPANY, (Incorporated) ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR 3.EIDS VILLE, MAR. 2. 19C9 2 HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER FOB BEIDSVILLE. The Southern Traction and Tower Company, a corporation recently grant ed a charter by the State of North Car olina was granted a franchise by the bo.ird of county commissioners at their regular monthly meeting in Went worth yesterday to build transmission- lines for hydro electric power across the county via Eeidsville. Application has also been made to the board of town commissioners for the privilege of bring ing the lines into and through the town. The board will gladly grant the franchise at a special meeting which will be called one day this week. The headquarters of the power company is in Burlington and some of the .largest capitalists and cotton mill owners in Alamance counties are financing the concern. Mr. Junius II. Harding, of Burling ton, one of the leading men in the com pany, was in Reidsville last Thursday and in company with a Review man called on some of the leading manu facturers here to see if they would prove friendly to such an enterprise. Mr. Harding explained to them that power l ights had been secured on the Dan and Slaunton rivers a few miles North of t'larksville, Va., which would furnish something like 20,000 horse-power; that the promoters contemplated build ing transmission lines to Danville in or der to furnish the current for the Dan ville Street Railway system and other power users in that city and from thence to Burlington, Graham and Haw River, where 5,000 horse-power had been con tracted for to run the trolley lines now under -construction connecting those towns and furnishing power to several of the many cotton mills in Alamance county. He pointed out by a detourof eight or ten miles these lines could be brought by Eeidsville and that if the prospects were good for an initial sale of a thousand or twelve hundred horse power to the power using plants litre the Company would gladly bring their lines through Eeidsville. He demon strated to them a saving of from 25 to IjO per cent in the use of hydro electric power over the steam plants now in use here and he was given such sub s:antial encouragement by our steam power users that he expressed himself as being fully satisfied that at least 2,000 horse pow er could be sold here the the first year the current was delivered. It is the 1 1 in of the Hydro Klectric Company to sell the current to the mu nicipal plant lure for street and incan descent lighting and direct to the man ufacturing plants for power. It is be lieved that the company can furnish power here for $24 or $25 per horse power per year of 3,000 hours. The most economical steam plants, at pres ent prices of coal delivered in Eeids ville, cost at least $10 per horse power per year, and some of them cost from $50 to $(50. So the saving by the use of the hydro electris current will prove quite an item in the cost of power for our manufacturing plants. It will not only be a boon to the establishments already in operation here but prove a great inducement for other manufac turing enterprises to locate ia Eeids ville. ,It is expected that if all goes well with tJie work of construction the new com pany can deliver current in Eeidsville iu 15 to li months. THE lillK.HT TOBACCO GROWERS MEETING. There was a large crowd of represen tative farmers in Eeidsville last Friday to listen to the alje speeches of Messrs. Joel Fort, of Ohio, and Mr. Adams, presi dent of the Virginia-Carolina Bright To bacco Growers Association. Owing to a misunderstanding about the hour of the speaking Tun Review did not have a representative present and hence did not make any notes of the speeches. We learn, however, that both speeches were of a high order, very instructive to the tobacco growers, were listened to with deep interest and made a most favorable impression on the large crowd of fanners present. We regret very much thai we missed the pleasure of hearing these able speeches. At the conclusion of the speeches a strong committee was appointed to so licit subscriptions to the capital stock of a storage warehouse to be established in Eeidsville along the lines of the one now in successful operation in Dauville. Tiie committee, we understand, is now at work, is meeting with substantial en couragr nu-ut and we are strongly of the opiuioa ihat tiie CbUIjIishmcii o:' such ' : Let no food impair the powers of the stomach. Eat WHEAT FLUKE CELERY PS. which is the most perfect food 'T. " IT- W T ior wc cram workers, clergy men, lawyers, merchants, grow ing children, and the muscle working classes. Tor calo by all Grocers an enterprise in Reidsvilh is assured and only a question of time and detail. The Review is unqualifiedly in hearty sympUhy with this movement and will be only too glad to render the promoters any service within its power. We be lieve it will be a good thing lor the farmers and a good thing for the Reids vdie tobacco market.. We hope a strong company will be formed and a large and up to-date plant speedily erected. We are aware that there is some oppo sition to the movement here in Eeids ville, but we think we are justified in saying to the farmers of this county that this opposition is of really feeble proportions and confined to a compara tively few people. The great majority of the business people of this town are ia hearty sympathy with the movement and are ready and willing to extend sub stantial encouragement to the' enter prise. . Instead of working an injury to the Reidsville tobacco market, we are con vinced than an up-to-date steam dry ing plant, where the farmers can store a part of their tobacco crop to be sold in round lots, will prove a positive benefit to the loose leaf market. We hope to see such a plant in opera tion in Reidsville by the time the next crop of tcbicco is ready for market. Dr. Crum has resigned as collector of customs at Charleston in order, he de clares, "to save Taft." There were no bidders yesterday for lhe defunct Industrial News, and it be gins to look as if no one will accept it under any consideration. Ponned the Gray 47 Years Ago. Mr. J. A.

The Gillie Case Goes to Jury Continued from First Page. denied haviug had carual knowledge of the girl, stating that be had goue to the Hailey home on Monday night and found Kate Brown and. the girl. Not finding Mrs. Hailey at home, he talked only a few minutes to thoia be fore leaving. Dr S. Q. Jett was the last witness called. He testified that he has been a practicing physician for the pit Ft six years; a graduate of the medical col lege of Virignia. His testimony was admitted as that of an expert. Dr. Jett said he visited the girl for the first time Thursday morning, the 18th, about 11 o'clock. He founl her restless, rolling and tumbling iu the bed and in a bad condition generally. He gave her something to quiet her aud with help gave her a hyponermio Returned betsveeu 2 and 8 p. ni and found her quiet.. Detween il anu 4 made a special examiuatiou. Witness corroborated the statement made by Mr. Lambeth concerning the conversation between Mr. Lambeth and the Hailey child. Also that he saw the girl's mother shaking her head and winking at the child and re buked her for it. Said the girl's mother told him her axe was 12 years the t)th of February. "Was not the child under the in floence of morphine at that time?" asked counsel for the defense. "She might have been," answered the witness. Solicitor Brooks: "Was she ration al?" Dr. Jett: "She was rational." Dr. Jett's testimouy as to what he aud Dr. McOehee found npon their fpecial examination of the fiirl corrob orated Dr. McGeheo's testimony on that point: the girl had been badly in iured and the microscope told the story. On croRs-examiuation Dr. Jett said lie had not stated to the court that the child had been ravished. Jndge Bynnm tried to get witness to say that if the girl had been mistreated as allegod on Monday night, the evidences of it would have appeared before Wednesday, but Dr. Jett was not prepared to fay. Counsel for the State asked Dr. Jett who paid him for his visit on Thurs day. Defense objected, but the court ruled that the evidence was com petent. Witness said the girl's mother paid him a dollar. He did not know who paid for the proscriptions. Ex-Solicitor Brooks, of Greensboro, stated to the court that on his previ ous visit he was unable to secure a conference with the girl, owing to her physical and mental condition. On Sunday night last tho girl had been hioueht to the office of Mr. Lane, his associate in the case, accompanied bv n officer, and ho had questioned her. lift felt it flue the rnurt aud the tien rlunien on the oil. or side to state that tho girl had I'tuicd tt 1 1 that she had stated to others about the ease, sayu g Gillie had never acted even improper ly towards her. He was satisfied the girl 'was not telling the truth now, judging from all the circuuislauces, aud he would not offer her as a wit ness. She was present, and it the de fense desired to put her on the sfand it was their privilege to call her.' The defense had a large number of witnesses summoned, but did not offer any of them. Judge Bynnra argued that the State had not adduced sufficient evidence to hold t'16 prisoner. It had not provod that a rape had been committed, nor had it connected the defendant with it, if a crime had been committed. The only ovidenco was the statement of the girl made while under the in fluence of drugs, which she now denies. He asked that Gililo be dis charged. Mr. Lane, for the State, thought it irlle to argue to the court that it ws not necestary to slv.w conclusive guilt to send tho defendant on to the grand jury. Probable cause was all that was necessary and the State had shown that. The welfare of society aud the good ot the community de manded that a court of competent jurisdiction should go fully into the matter. Mr. Brooks, for the State, analyzed the testimouy aud the circumstances in a inisterly way. First, the testi mony of Mr. Lambeth and Dr. Jett showed that the child had voluntarily told them that Gillie had forced her. Second, the examination made by Drs. Jett aud McGeheo showed that tho child had recently been robbed of that which only God can give and and that some man had had done it; naturo tells the truth. Third. Gillie confessed to Lambeth he was at the girl's house that night; that sub sequently, when Lambeth and Jett talkod with her, he secreted himself and overheard their conversation, and instead of denying the charge then and there, hunts up Lambeth In the niRht and asks why he (Lambeth) ha it iu for him. Fourth, the girl now denies what she told Lambeth in the preaeuoe of Dr. Jott. Why? The evidence shows that tho uod and wink of her mother was sufficient to stop her finishing the story. How many nods and how many winks have been ORed since, Mr. Brooks had no means of knowiug. The court knew that if the girl hal died, as it. tnnmnti at tho time she would, her statement to Lamboth would have been held competent evidence, Kow that she has changed it, it Is for a jury to decide when she told the truth. Mr. Brooks commented severely on GilliH's nuuuiin in inning wneii no Faw i immm'wi nrj'i ur. juit coming. Whv was he there if And why did ho hide? 'iHe seemed to be as much at home as your honor is at your home." He comes and goes in the dav time and in the night time whether the mother is there or not. Who was at the house that night but Gillie? And who else had opportunity to commit the crime? Poor aud ignorant though this girl may be, affected by her environment as she is, and fearful of offending her mother, yet the law says she must be protected. V Mr. Scott, for the defense, argued strongly that there was no evidenoe before the court that a rape had been committed. The defendant could not be held upon mere street rumors. The evidence of the physicians had merely established that the girl bad Lad'in tercourse with some one, but there was nothing to connect the; defendant with it. The whole fabric rested on what Lambeth said the girl told him, wh'i'h statement was made while un der the iufluenoe of a drug. 'Ttoere is no evidence showing that Gillie had anything to do with the girl. Mr, Brooks "There is no evidence before this court that he did not, save by what he told our witness. Mr. Lambeth." Mr. Scott plead earnestly for the discharge of the defendant. Kecon'er Burton said it seemed to him that there were two points in the case: 1. A confession, and afterwards 2. A denial. The court did not feel that it could decide this Issue of fact. Therefore he could only commit the prisoner to the county jail to await the action of the grand jury. Counsel for the defense expressd a willingness that the defendant be held on the lesser offense, carnal knowledge of a girl under the legal age ot con sent, whioh is bailable, but rfr. Brooks promptly objected, saying the court had stated the issue so tersely and accurately that he did not see how his ruling could be changed. It was a case for invest igaton and all the ciircumstances should be gone into. The Lurid Glow of Doom. was seen in the red ' face, hands and body of the little eon of H. M. Adams, of Henrietta, Pa.
