$100,000 WATER AND LIGHT COMPANY.
Will Furnish Water, Lights and Power for Wal
, halla, Wost Union and Oilier Towns.
Tho charter ami commission for tho
Ooouoe Wator, Light and Powor Com
pany, with a capital stock of $100,000,
was received hy tho corporators of .tho
company at Walhalla Inst week. There
has hoon a groat doal of preliminary
work dono for tho pust sovoral months
by Mayor Jas. Thompson and W. ll.
Frink, of Now York, and others looking
townrd tho formation of tho company
and making all preliminary arrange
ments, scouring tho necessary sites, otc.
Tho matter of soouriug tho necessary
outside funds for tho enterprise is in tho
hands of Mr. Frink, who nnnouueos that
as soon ns tho ohartor and otb or pnpors
pro complot od and in shapo tho funds
will bo forthcoming. Th?se will ho in
readiness within tho next few days, and
the outlook now is that activo work will
bogin within a voryshc.t timo.
Tho oOlcors of the company aro: J. A.
Stock, president; C. G. Jayuos, vico
president; Jas. Thompson, soorotaryand
treasurer. Directors: W. Ii. Frink, Now
York; J. A. Stock, C. G. Jay nos, Jas.
Thompson? W. E. Seaborn, Walhalla.
It is tho iutontion of tho compm y to
supply the towns of Walhalla and Yost
Union with wator and to oporato an
oloctrio plnnt sulliciont to light tho two
towns and others, hud also to furnish
powor for manufacturing enterprises. Wo
understand tho company has a contract
already to furnish tho Sonoca Cotton
Mills ?00 horso-powor, and that thoro aro
Others ready to nogotiato for largor and
.smaller amounts.
Tho land has boon purchased on Poor
Mounfuin for tho wator plant, and an
other doal has been closed for land and
water rights for tho power and light
plants. Tho latter property is located
about ton miles from Walhalla. It has
excellent possibilities for tho develop
ment of largo powor.
Probably tho most untiring worker in
the interest of this entorpriso ?B W. B.
Frink, who, with Mayor Thompson's
aldo assistanco, lins givon shapo to Hie
work and mado tho organization of this
company possible. Tho pnoplo of Wal
halla in particular have boon calling for
such an entorpriso mid should rospond
liberally in tho way of patronage as soon
as it is onablcd to furnish wntcr and
lights. Seneca is also contomplatod in
tho deal as a liberal patron, and with tho
combined support of Walhalla, West
Union and Seneca, such enterprise
should bo enabled to carn a reasonable
dividend and furnioh an oxoollont sor
vico. lt is proposed to make tho two
plants first-class in overy respect.
Thoro aro other enterprises in contem
plation hy others iutorostod in tho de
velopment of this immediate section of
tho Piedmont country, and it is said that
tho launching of tho wator, light and
power ontorpriso will make possible their
establishment. It is to ho hoped that'
tho beginning made is to be pushed to a
successful completion at once. It will
fill tho greatest want of the towns of our
county.
Grip Quickly Knocked Out.
Some weeks ago dining tho severe
ntet^woather both my \?ifo and niy
colitractcd severe colds which
speedily developed i nth tho worst kind
of la grippe with all its miserable Symp
toms," says J. S. Egleston, of Map c
Landing, Iowa. Knees and joints aching,
muscles sore, head slopped np, eyes and
nose running, with alternate spells of
chills and fever. Wo began using Cham
berlain's Cough Koniedy, aiding tho !
same with a dose of 'chamberlain's
.Stomach and Liver Tablets, and by its
use soon completely knocked out Ibo
grip." These Tablets promote a healthy
action of the bowels, liver and kidneys,
which is always boiioiloial when tho sys
tem is congested by a cold or attack of
tho grip. For salo' by J. W. Kell, Wal

Last Saturday Wm. G. Bussell aud

county, passed through Walhalla in a
handsome now "mountain schooner" of
tho largest, typo, drawn by his large team
of horses, one of which weighed I,KU)
and tho other I 270 pounds. Mr. bussell
said that ho had not been to Abbeville
since, tho war, and that ho intended going
down to bude over tho old country
through w hieb, years ago, all tho trad
ing of this section was done, anil to re
new old acquaintances. Mr. Bussell is
one of our best, farmers. During a resi
dence of about<I0 years at his present
homo on Chnttoega river he nas never
bought a pound of moat for his home
use, and during the saino period has
bought only about 'J."> pounds of lard, lt
is a groat hobby of bis that every fanner
should live strictly at homo, and ho
looks after his hobby with as milch caro
and pride as ho does tho excellent horses
that occupy his stables.

Great Talos from tho Farm.
K. P. Wood, of Wolf Stake school dis
trict, this county, was in Walhalla last)
Thursday, and incidentally remarked, in
speaking of tho lino cropi> made in Oco
noo this year, that ho folt sitro tho cotton
crop is one-third in oxcoss of th rt of last I
year. Ho said his own crop is above that j
average. "I planted 22 acres," ho said,
"and 1 havo already got len out 20 baloB,
aud I am quito sure thoro aro four or ilvo
hundred pounds of lint to bo gotten out
yob My brother, M. A. Wood, who lives
in Now Hope school district, planted
coven acros and has had sovon hales
ginned, and ho calculates on getting out
yot about 8(H) pounds. Wi J. Hunt will
realizo a halo to tho acre on his entire
farm-good, full bales, too
"Talking about crops, though," con
tinued Mr. Wood, "J. S. Cox beats the
record when it comes to peas. Ho got a
peek of sonto new kind of p >as last
spring, and while ho was WOl'kiog in his
cotton ho planted that peek of puns and
has hat vested M bushels. They beat
anything 1 over saw or heard of."
?Sonto who heard Mr. Wood talking
seemed to think ho "had his sights too
high," hut ho says ho has .simply stated
facts. Tho wholo story looks big, hut
thou it was in Ocouoo, and when ono
takes that fact into consideration it i

A Splendid Entertainment.
Last Thursday evening, under tho
management of tho Alkahest Lycon m
Course, Marvin Williams appeared in his
".lolly F.venings" and entertained his
audience in a royal manner. Mr. Wil
liams, although quito a young man, is
almost unanimously given credit for
being among tho very host to uppoar in
Walhalla. His voice is full and clear,
and his manner perfectly natural and
easy. Had it not been for tho constant
talking and giggling of a few to whom
ignorance scorns to be tho very pinnacle
of bliss, tho evening would have boon
ono of unmarred pleasure. Mr. Williams
very aptly referred to his disturbers as
"ollinqillipbi or hickory-nut heads."

means of suppressing those irr?pressibles,
