AIKEN CAN Ali DAM BURSTS.
Plant Furnishing Power Washed
Away.
Alken. Dec. 17.?By the bursting
of a canal dam, the plant Of the Car?
olina Licht and Pover Company,
which furnished e ectrlc current for
the city of Alken, located on Little
Morse creek, 12 ;-nWes from Alken
and three miles from Langley, was
washed away last night following the
heavy rains of Thursday and Friday
nights, entailing a loss to the com?
pany estimated today at between
$36,000 and $40,000.
The night watchman. Knappe, who
was in the power plant at the time
of flood of water washed down .upon
it. barely escaped with his life and
lost some of his clothing, and, it is
?aid, a sum of money in making his
?scape from the collapsing building.
Alken was thrown into darkness by
the disaster, but will be furnished
current tonight from an auxiliary
plant of the Carolina Light and Pow?
er company.
The destroyed plant was recently
completed, and is said to have been
one of the most complete in this part
of the State. Its destruction is com?
plete, as reported by those who went
from Alken today to the scene. The
main dam did not break, else the loss
to the company would have been con?
siderably heavier, but as it is the de?
bris of the collapsed building covers
a muss of broken and ruined machln
\
ery.
Engineer O. A. Nlpe had started
out on Inspection a few minutes be?
fore the break and barely escaped
with his life.

PED.
The charges against Isaiah Sumier
and Pippin Samuel, arrested on
a warrant sworn out before Magis?
trate Wells by Mr. Joel E. Brunson,
for trespass and larceny of timber
have been dropped by Mr. Brunson.
It will be remembered that Mr.
Brunson took out warrants for these
two negroes charging them with ar?
son, but later dropped the charges
for lack of evidence to prosecute the
negroes. At the time that he drop?
ped the warrants on the charge of
arson he swore out the warrants
charging the two negroes with tres?
passing on his place and stealing cy?
press timber. He later decided to
drop these cases also. The reason
for his doing this was not announc?
