The plan of buying the electric current from the Southern Power Co. however meota wlf. universal approv el. Owing to the absence of Dr. J. W McGehee a uperlal meeting of the town council, which was to have been held ysterday to formally ratify the cgreoment wltii the power company, had to be postponed until his return. The meeting will probably be held today. The contract) will be rat- lined by the commissioners and it may be taken as an assurred fart that the rlctrlc llgb'ing question which has been atdtatinir our pooplo for some t'nie has ben finally settled to the batisfactlon of almost everybody. As soon as the necessary equipment can be gotten in -place to tap on to the power line 1 Reldsville will be in position to promptly supply all demands for lUshti and power at mis onablo and equitable rates. LEAKSVILLE-SPRAY My Country 'Tie of Thee, Sweat Land of Liborty." A WISE CONCLUSION Town Commissioners J. E. Smith end Dr. J. W. McGohee, the commit tee appointed to confer with the Sou thern Power Co. in regard to securing urrent for the electric lighting plant fere, went to Charlotte Monday to con fer with officials of the company. A tentative contract was made with the hydro electric company to furnish ns current for 1 cents per kilowatt ' hour, this rate being based on present consumption. The town Is to put in the necessary transformers and other equipment to make connection with , tlie Southern Power Company lines. The estimated cost of this equipment U about f 10,000. In return for the town bearing this cost the company auows & reDate oi 10 per cent on tne i eoheduled price, which mmkes (he net cost of the current 1.35 per kilowatt hour. This is a substantial saving of over coet of producing current by steam. For the year ending June fciet, the net cost to produce the Juice in the local power plant was 2.42. With increuecd od cost of eoiad the cost is now 3 cents 01 more. On an annual consumption of 400,000 kilowatts the city will make a saving of more thinn $ 7,000 per year. 1'hto saving will soon pay for the cost of connecting with the Southern Pow er Company and after thia cost is li quidated the town can doubtless af ford to make a substantial reduction in rates on light and power. A3 stated In the Imt issue of The Review, the town commlipaloners at a recent meeting wted down the propo sition of selling the plant and giving it f' year fr-imchlfie to the Southern Public Utilities Company, Seniiment t f our people waa very strong agonist giving a lighting franchise to any STIRRING WORLD EVENTS There are indeed sdirring times in world news. Events crowd thick, and last and people aro kept on the Jump to keep up with startling news that breaks from day to day. Revolution in Russia overthrowing the strongest and most oppresive au tocracy in the world, giving Indepen dence and a republican form of gov ernment to nearly two hundred mil lions of people, is one of the most far reaching events of world politics In a century. Even a partial enumeration of the eventful news of the world tax es the capacity of an ordinary country yemi-weekly. The sinking by the German submar ines of American merchant ves sels with a loss of fifteen American lives; the call of an extra sessionr of Congress April 2 to make formal de claration of war against Germany; the settlement of the threatened na tion wide strike and ti-up of rail road transportation; feverish prepar ations for war by this country; ro treat of the German armies in France; capture of Bagdad by the British all these y.nd dozens of oilier startling -hd thrilling news evjents di;?.e and phase even the great metropoli tan dailies. Indeed world history la being mae these duys at a rate of sixty miles a minute. It will take years to catch up and properly digest the world events of the past thirty days. The good roads propaganda in Per son county received a great impetus when the bond issue carrying $300, 01)0 for good roads was curried by a majority of two hundred and fifty. Dad roads hiive long been a great drawback to the general progress of 1e county, and it Is with delight that the citizens of Person county can now realize that they are to take up the ru liter of good roads and place the county alongside the oiher progres sive counties of the State in this re-bpect. -MOT'S, ERMISOirj .
