willi olectrlc lights, tho little town
of Iva,; situated 16 miles below An
ilareen on tho C. & W. 0, railway,

of ito size in South Carolina can
boast of such modem conveniences.
Tho olHclnl acceptance of tho elec
tric lighting system by thc intendant
and wardens of iva from tho South
ern Public Utilities company took
place last night. A number of peo
ple from Anderson were present,
home of them taking part in tho ex

Interesting speech, comparing the
conveniences and possibilities* of to
day with those of a generation ago.
all of which to a great measure had
been brought about by man's de
velopomcnt of the natural resources
put in the earth by the creator.
?fx. Hood waa followed by Hr.
Harry A. Orr, manager of the local
branch of tho Southam Public Utili
ties company. Mr. Orr's speech
wan especially interesting since it
dealt with, she many conveniences
that may bo placed in tho homo'when

of tho1 progressiveness ot th,e town of
Iva and - said that his company had
not inBtallcd the lighting ByHtem be
cause of the pr?sent revenuo which

.bbllovod that: tho 'futuro development
of thc town ifould warrant it.
.Mr. Lovorette then Introduced

ually progressed from a village to a
modern little olly, and ?aid that he
felt nure that a great deul o? tho
liTo/J.-esoive spirit muong the busi
ness men ol Iva wus due to the fact
that they had watched Anderson
grow.
Mr. Bullfvan was followed by MT.
Leon lt. FAee ot .Anderson. Mr. Klee
kept thoso pr?sent In an uproar of
laughter bocauh-o of the many funny
jolie.-, he told. Hu said tbat he had
no Huhject, knew nothing about elec
tricity and certainly was not going
to talk, about something he was not
ac] un i ii ted with.
After the regular speeches had
been completed, Mr. Leverotto made
a Bhort talk, saying that it had only
been possible for Iva to secure the
lighting syBtem through the cooper
ation of the citizens of the town and
surrounding community. He thank
ed the speakers for being present
and announced that the system
would bo officially incepted at t*iR
Bub-statton.
.Many of those present then walked |
ovor to tho sub-station where the
town authorities accepted the light
ing system and tho street lights
turned on.
Delightful ?inner.
Tho visitors from Anderson, the
Bpcakers of the evening, the war
dens, the former Intendants, the men
who had superintended thc work aud
a few others wero then invited down

gusts present, all of whom enjoyed
the dinner to the fullest extent.
Most deliciously prepared and right
ly served, it was a meal that could
not be surpassed.
Tho .street.1; of Iva are now lighted
by 35 VQBt street llghtB, nitrogen fill
ed 80 car.d'o power Mazda typo C
models. These furnish considerable
light and, everyone appears well
pleased. Elghty-Bix residences in
the town and nearby territory have
boen wired and aro lighted by elec
bricity, not including 87 at the Jack
Bon mill village, which make a total
of 153.
The system was Installed by the
Southern Public Utilities company,
the work having been started about
the middle of March. The curren'
ls obtained from Grogg Shoals main
power line to Anderson, a. substation
having been installed at Moffets
ville,- throe miles west of Iva. The
Byotem Is strictly modern and lt; so
arranged that unlimited power can
be secured, since thc line is also con
nected with the Southern Power com
pany through Anderson. Tho cost
of installation waa approximately
$6,000. Tho people of Iva and com
munity can JuBtly feel proud of tholr
oleclrlc lights ?nd tho opportunities
offered by having a power lino In
their' town.
