A FAIR QUESTION.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Is it possible that the ''L' road entirely ignores
the rights Of residents along their road? Such
seems to be the case. About the 1st of May the
Board Of Health was pettioned bya large
ber of residents between 125th and l2sth streets.
who complained of the road nuisance with
no redress Does the road own the Health Board
only defy it? Why, sir during the extreme hot
weather just passed it has been impossible to have
front window door open for ventilation on ac-
count of the fine particles OF coal and escaping
from engines constantly standing in front,
not to say anything of the noise from the dumping
of coal from the cars twice in twenty-fonr hours.

Some interesting experiments of
ploughing by electricity took place the
other day at Noisiel, in France, in
the park of the well-known Deputy
and chocolate maker NJ. Menier.
The motive power was supplied to
the plough by Gramme machine,
itself set in motion by water power,
which is abundant on NJ. Menier's es-
tate. The plough did about the same
work as if it were drawn by four OK
en-. 1t was Fowler plough, with
six shares. The motive power was
supplied to it by wire al distance
of nearly half mile. To profane
looker-on it was amazing to see a
plough propelled by an unseen agen-
cy without teams or steam. The
Gramme machine employed was the
same that supplies M. Menier's man>
ufactory with electric light.

A Sad Accident.

Last Thursday night while COON
hunting with party of friends, Mr..
Robert Barfeld, who lives near Hem
ming, was struck by falling limb and
instantly killed. The dogs "treed" a
coon and Mr.. Barfeld's companions
we're cutting down the tree while he
stood by holding a favorite dog to
keep him fIOm running under it. In
falling it knocked Il limb from the
tree under which Mr.. B. was standing,
which fell upon his head with such
force as to crush his skull and produce
instant death. The dog was also kill
ed. Mr.. Barfeld was very worthy
young man, was a bruther-in-law of
Sheriff Cobb, and acted at one time rs
deputy sheriff His young wife, who
was just recovering from spell of
sickness, was so shocked by the news
of the sad tragedy, that she was COM
pletely prostrated and is still in very
critical condition. The relatives and
friends have our sympathy in this sad
bereavement.-Riplsy Necs.

How State Credit Affected a Re-
DUii2fOr,

One of the evil effects of bad faith
and destruction of State credit was
experienced the other day by person
within the territory between the Al
leghany mountains and the Mississip-
pi and the northern and southern
boundaries of Tennessee. We have
the facts from a prominent lawyer
The person alluded to had mission
to advocate the noble doctrine Of
reputation, and with a view to that
great end he determined to start re
pudiation paper, euphemistically call
ed low tax paper. Our informant
was consulted by a press and type
firm of an Eastern city as to the fnan-
cial standing of the organist. 1t is
not only necessary in these eases to
pay the piper, but also the piper finds
1t necessary to pay the man who fur
nishes the pipes. Our informant gave
them the facts. He told them that
he was about to start Il paper to advo-
cate principles hostile to the credit of
the State, 10 community credit, and
they could form their own conclusion
as to. his private credit and financial
possibilities. These type and press
men are practical sort of people.
They carry the doctrine of the free
dom of the press to the EXTREMIST
limit, but net at their expense. They
would stop the London Times if they
had doubts about the financial results.
In this case there was sudden halt
and a practical demonstration of the
absurdity and folly of advocating the
destruction of community credit.
There never was a finer demonstra-
ton in the right quarter of the close
connection between community and
individual credit. .-NashUilIe american.
