OF COMMISSION FOR SHORT WHILE YESTER DAY ON ACCOUNT OF SHORT CIRCUIT SOON REPAIRED Wire Came in Contact With Wet Pole Just West of Oliver Bolt's Residence. A short-circuit on the transmission, lines of the Southern Public Utilities Company between Portman Shoals I and the city, caused by a wire coming ' ' in contact with an extremely wet pole, at a point Just west of the home of Mr. Oliver Bolt, crippled the several ! , cotton mills about tho city using elec- j > trie current fer several hours yeates*i day._ j The trouble occurred shortly after 1 9 o'clock yesterday morning and by 2 [O'clock in the afternoon the cause of ! trouble had be?n discovered. By 3 o'clock the damage had been repaired i j and the transmission lines -restored to ! service. As Boon as the transmission line went ont of commission the steam turbine auxiliary plant in the city was fired up. This was started 'working about I o'clock and supplied power until the Portman Shoals power waa brought into service again. Maaager H. A. Orr of the Anderson branch of the Southern rubiic Utili ties Company stated that the short circuit was caused by a cross arm on( a cedar pole giving way slightly and allowing the wire to come lp contact with the pole. The pole forms tile point of an angle in the line and for this reason the croea arm had to give way only a few inches In order to cause the wire to come into contact with the pole. The particular pole ?where the cross clrctfft occurred la of cedar and had become thoroughly soaked with rain, which caused the wire to become grounded as soon as' lt touched. The Anderson cotton Mills, the Or? Milla, the Townsend Twine Mill ind Se Equinox Mill were affected by the tabling of the transmission line. The power ft uu> the Gregg. Shoals plant J kept the city supplied with current, so, industries of a smaller nature were not affected by the trouble on the Portman Shoals line. .Henry Moseley baa returned to Lowndesville after a short stay la the -itv.
