Spencer, Feb. 4—Dukeville, the new town of the Southern Power Company near Spencer, now has electric light, the current having been turned on this week, being supplied by wires from the high power lines crossing the Yadkin River here. A transformer has been installed and lights are furnished for the new streets and roads in and adjacent to the new town as well as for the offices of the Southern Power Company, which have been established under the supervision of C.T. Warner as manager. The lights are also available for the large number of new residences and camp houses which have been erected or are in course of erection on the grounds. The new town was electrified in short order after the transformer arrived. It is stated that about 300 men are now employed on the plant and grounds, while others are being employed almost daily.
