Tobin, for a number of years superintendent of the Bamberg water and electric light system, last week handed in his resignation to the com missioners of public works, his resig nation to become effective September 1st. It is understood that on the first Mr. Tobin goes with the South Carolina Power company, which has recently been consolidated with the Edisto Public Service company, and it is not known at this time just where h« will be assigned for duty. The South Carolina Power company, upon acquiring the Edisto Public Service company, became the owner of the public works of some 25 or 30 towns and cities throughout the Edisto- Savannah rivers. There is a possibili ty of Mr. Tobin and his family con tinuing their residence in Bamberg. Their numerous friends will be pleased to learn that they may continue to re side here. # Mr. Tobin’s successor has not yet been selected by the commissioners of publicjyorks, but it is expected that a superintendent will be elected at an early date. Mr. Tobin came to Bamberg as superintendent of the local utilities seven years ago. At that time Bam berg wa<s being supplied with electric current from the local power plant. About three-years ago the local cam* missioners entered into a contract with the Edisto Public Service Co., to sup ply the city with current on a whole sale basis, thei commissioners continu ing the distribution of current to con sumers. At the time Mr. Tobin assumed charge of the local plant it was in a most unsatisfactory condition. Within a short time he placed the plant on a good basis, and the service to the con»- sumers wag vastly improvejd. Instead of being a losing proposition, the plant became self-sustaining and paid off considerable of the plant’s indebt edness. His nev* position is in the nature of a substantial promotion, and is a recognition of his ability as an elec trical engineer. ■' ♦ ♦ ♦ 'H ——ll * Why is iit that many a girl who goes to court without a leg to stand on wins her case because of her pretty limbs?
