K SHOALS TO BE DEVELOPED. uthern Power Company to Resume ?" *- i-i.? rK flailS?MIIII ill uir Chester, Jan. 6.?Much interest was fcnanifested in business circles here today when it was learned that the Southern Power company had decided to go ahead with the development at Lookout shoals and r.ot to develop the 'Fishing creek site in Chester county. For a great many months the company was held up in its proposed development there by the high p price demanded for one or two tracts L? that were necessary to its purposes, but recently the company and the landowners ihave come to terms and the company now holds the deeds to I Ball the land it wants. This would inBtecate that the development of the water power at that place will now W proceed. The Lookout shoals will be second to the dam at Ninety-Xine islands in point of storage capacity and larger than the dam at Great Falls. The dam will have a height of 80 feet and sufficient land has been bought to protect the company from backwater troubles and law suits. This will make the fifth dam in H the system operated by the Southern m Power company. The first was tne [ initial venture of a native of Chester, * J -e wno later aaaaevea iamc iu .>c? L city as a surgeon, Dr. W. Gill Wylie, r in the Catawba gorge near Rock Hill and which is now in the pigmy class of the list. At the time the Rock Hill plant was erected it was a question with the engineers whether the ^ electric current could be sent profit; ably as far as Charlotte, 18 miles, on J account of tl:e probable loss by leakage. That was in the early da}*.s of electrical power development, when * Hr. the entire ousmess wai> pivmc;uauv. A man touching his fingers, it is said, K' to the end of a wire 100 miles long, '1 will be likely to find the current ' there about as strong as it is at the generator in the power house. SALES NEARLY $3,000,000. Dispensary Auditor Mitchum Makes Estimate on 1918 Business. j Columbia, January 6.?Close on to three million dollars' worth of whiskey, beer and wines were sold by the county dispensaries in South Carolina during the year 1913, according to an estimate prepared today by State Dispensary Auditor Harvey W. Mitchum. ^ Mr. Mitchum estimates that the dis^^^pensaries disposed of $2,863,731.65 ^^H|wrth of alcoholic beverages during H& year. The amount sold was 27. for the year 1912. the estimate is taken as approximately correct last year's sales outdistanced those of 1912 by $201, k 702.38. ^ The estimate by Auditor Mitchum was unofficial. It is impossible to get the exact figures yet, owing to the fact that reports from all the counties PJ having dispensaries are not in for tie ^ month of December. ? There are twelve counties that are now operating under the dispensary system, with Orangeburg, in addition, just having commenced with the New Year, Lexington's dispensary is tied up in the Courts.

G. Hastings. Atlanta, Ga.?(Special.)?That the Boys' Corn Club movement means a great deal more to the South than the average citizen has ever dreamed, !<-. tUn nrooontoH in an in. AO 111C VUUV/1UOWU vuvwvvu Au -? teresting interview by H. G. Hastings of Atlanta, chairman of the agricultural committee of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and manager of the Georgia State Com Show, which is presented annually in the state capital building. "We are facing," says Mr. Hastings, "an era of agricultural production such as the world has never before witnessed. Every year since the first corn club was organized, the movement has seen more than remarkable growth. One year's record has become insignificant when that of the next year doubled it; and by that, I| mean that many more boys, have gono | into the worK ana nave vastly increased results not only by their own efforts, but through inspiration to fa-' thers, brothers and neighbors until t millions of dollars have already been added to corn production in the Soutn. "And yet this is but a forecast of what is to come. There are now being organized as an outgrowth of the corn club work, Three and Four-Crop Clubs. The boys will plant oats and cowpeas on their former corn acre, thus diversifying their crops and renewing the soil, while a new acre will be taken for corn cultivation. In some sections cotton has been added to the list, on a third acre, and the rourCrop Club boys have already gone to work. "Another outgrowth of the corn club is the Pig Club. Southern boys have learned the truth of the story of the farmpr whn sprt 'n a more prosperous neighbor to buj a shoat. The neighbor sold him the shoat, but with it presented hiai a t;ack of corn.
