To Determine v Whether Power Plant Announcement is made that town council will hold an election soon to permit the voters of Walterboro to determine whither or wot the munici pal light arijd power plant will be sold to the South Carolina Power company, of Charleston. Or rather to a .small portion of the voters, those who have paid their taxes prior to January 1st, which is condition precedilnt to hav ing the right to cast a bhllot in a gen eral election. . The question which these voters will decide is whether or not 'the plant shall ^continue to be operated by the town or sold to this larger concern. The present rate paid by users of current and power in lyalterboro is perhaps the highest paid anywhere in the State. The rate to t>e charged by the South Carolina Power company will reducti this at least One-third and the assurance is give,n that unlimited power will be available. At least the capacity of the plant is to be increas ed at once to care for all demands tiN Bank' No. 314. Statement of the condition of< THE BANK OF KLiNE. located at Kline, S.

Ellis the company can bring in high power lines whteh they say will be within three years, i/ It is understood that the capacity of the present plant is taxed at the present time and that there will be a shortage if the presnt rate of in crease ktieps- up, and not only this but that should there be a break in the big engine Walterboro would be in a serious condition. It seems that the present plant is not, evcai-at the excessive rate being charged for pow er, making money fast enough to keep the plant properly equipped. So it would seem the* part of wisdom to sell the plant to a concern having the financial ability to equip it for pres- eir.ifc and future needs. Then the money receiyed from the sale of the plant might be used to rutire some large debts recently in curred in the paving program put over here. So, not only would the peo ple be saving in the cost of their lights and power, but in interest on large loans. There seems abundant argument in favor of the sale.—Wal terboro Press arid StnadaYd. ♦ ♦ B, E. WOODWARD DEAD.

The first United States coin with a perforated center was a gold dollar issued in 1849, which had a square hole In the middle of the planchet It whs the forerunner of the gold dollar issifed by * the United States mint' in 1849. The coin was engraved, liot struck from dies. The next United States? coin with a perforated center was Issued from the Philadelphia mint in 1850 and was of the denomination of 1 cent. It was about the size of the bronze cent now in use. At that time the large, old-fashioned copper cent was in general circulation hnd the perforated coin received the name of “ring cent.” The designer reasoned that by means of the perfora tion the cent could be distinguished by touch from the dime. Another per forated cent issued the same year showed two rings In the field, with the words “Cent, one-tenth silver.*' The reverse showed an olive wreath around the perforation and the words “United States of America.” The m^nt authorities undertook *o design a coin that would answer all requirements, and the pieces were struck with both pierced and perfect centers In- silver, copper, nickel and composition metal, six varieties In ail, without counting the various metals, but none of the designs was favored by the govern ment authorities, and consequently- they were never put In general circu lation.

Anna Louise Strong, writing In Harper’s Magazine, gives the following description of Chinese wedding customs as related to her by a Chinese student: , . 7 “If a marriage is honorable In China, the parents of the groom will pay the money needed. They will send notes from the groom’s father: ‘On such a-date my .son will 'marry the daughter of Mr. So-and-So. Your pres ence is requested at the feast.’ But it is worth much totlim, for at the v< wed- ding, all tyonor i$ shown to this old man, who will now be a grandfather, since his son has taken a wife. j “But if the marriage he without parents’ consent, then the/ young folks cannot be at home on their wed ding day; A prbper, honorable mar riage—It really cannot 4>e done with out the parents; otherwise, all is dis order. There are only two other ways for young folks. One is to wait and beseech the parents. Even if they do . not like the girl, still they love their son, and If they see him always un-* happy, refusing to take any other woman or to give them grandsons, In tbe'end they will often‘give way.*’ ADVERTISE in The People-Sentinel •X-I-X-X^K-XK-XK^X^X^X'^X t ? 1 ?
