C., are spending n night or more there are now in the now Guests' Camp. Ten tents of the laru'v tvoe havP been placed on a reservation near the Club House and betwee two of the golf fairways. The flooring of these tents rests upon rock foundation which lifts them above the soil and the floors are boxed around the sides, making he interiors perfectly dry even in wet weather. This tent, colony is located near the Club House so that guests have but a short walk to and from the Club 1 Iouse for meals. A number of good campers from different cities are putting in applications for week-end quarters during August. The glof course is nearly completed and tennis courts are ready for use. They are located about one hundred yards from the swimming pool and players may have a plunge in the pool or a shower in the bath house after games. These courts have been built under the supervision of an expert who given close attention to the drainage and the top soil that covers the drains to a depth of six inches. The s>K' _.!?,,f {IfiHoveh, of New York City, the builder of these courts, made a considerable study of the materials on the Mountain before deciding upon the top soil to he adopted for them. At last he worked out a combination of clays and crushed granite which has been applied. The character and location of these courts is beginning to attract many of the best players of the South to try their skill on Hogback Mountain, more than 3,000 feet.nbove the sea. RARE RUGS ON DISPLAY, The priceless rugs and tapestries on the walls of the Palace of Fine Arts at the Sesqui-Centennial International Exposition, now being held in Philadelphia, include more than two-score which have passed the' second century mark in age. Four rare tapestries, illustrating scenes from the wars of the Spanish Succession, were woven in 1700 and hung in the Spanish Palace until removed to the Exposition for display. Ancient titles and mosaics, used to this day in the decoration. of Persian homes, are also on exhibition in the Fine Arts Building. Pottery and faience, dating back to the sixteenth century, are shown with the color and glaze still as perfect as when the object were fired. The Ardbil rug, woven in Kashan and hung in th emosque at Ardebll until the late wars, hangs on the wall facing the entrance. The date 1539 Is woven in it. Louise Averill left Friday to be gone a month at Greystone Camp. Thomas Evans of Miami, Fla., and Mrs. Wei] and Mrs. Ramie of Greenville, S. C., visited Miss Newman of the Telephone Exchange.

The officials however will straighten out the matter as soon as possible. Many of ; lie users are complaining of the high rate that seem sto be in efffect. Like most all new systems, mistakes Will occur and the News feels confident that tho men in charge will perfect the new system in a manner that will be most satisfactry to all. RIVIERA 1A PAGES lU TODAY Thirty First Year rive Cents Per Copy RECORDS GREAT IN ELECTRICAL INDUSTRY Private Initiative Credited With Notable Progress In the Carolinas Tlu- n ewspapers and magazines of loday I'ijiliily speak of the Klcclrical own ii, ior in your secuuii ims uuen made the greatest progress of the elect rical industry during the last five years. Your undeveloped resources require vast sums of money, out, tnore than anything else, you demand and are entitled to the full development of the powi r from your streams and your coal and natural gas fields. Private initive is developing this great power for you under State and Federal regulation. The Alabama Power Company, Georgia Railway and Power Company, Southern 1'ower Company, Carolina Power and Right Company, which are large dispensers of electricity in their respective States, report an aggregate output in 19'jTi of 3,025,000,not) K. W. II. These same companies in 1920 had an output of i.Mttl,000,000 K. \V. Ii., indicating 100 Per cent ytfViffitli'ng'" in those five States. Decreased Costs Willi :%!1 this great development o [electric power, its average cost has steadilyl decreased since the inception of the industry. In fact, the present average"-cost of electricity to tiie American public is less than before the war, while the average cost of ail other commodities is G5 per cent higher. Careful management, more efficient generation and transmission, inter-connection, a groater volume of business, and regulation have made this possible. The watchful eye of regulation insists that the capital required by the electric, light and power companies for additions to generating stations , transmission and distribution lines, shall not come from earnings obtained from the consumers, but must be in the form of a new capital. A stupendous sum is now required each .year by the electric light and power industry and millions of investors are placing approximately one billion dollars a year of their savings and capital into now eiecinc uigiu una iiumi equipment to serve Amoican industyy and the public. Super-Power Systems 4 As to the spread and growth of inter-connection or the superpower systems, at present in the United Stales lliere is a continuous interconnected system extending from i Boston through Niagara Falls, Pitts-"" burgh, Ohio, and Indiana to St. i/ouis.. Another system connects the water powers of Minnesota and northern Wisconsin through Chicago and' 1 . Ohio with the great eoalburning stations of the Appalachian Power Com- i.. pany in West Virginia. With the exception of a short break between Danville, Virginia, and Roxboro, North Carqlina, this system will be complete through the Southern Stales until it reaches the Gulf at Pensacola. The prresent inter-connected system in-the South begins with the Alabama Power Company at Meridian, Mississippi; Mobile, Alabama; and Pensacola, Florida. Tied on to the east is the Georgia Railway and Power Company which connects, on the north, with the waterplants. at Ilailes Bar and the power houses of the Tennessee Electric Power ComTT nnnr Tonntwcoo On }>
