THE ELECTRIC CAR MOTOR.
The Belt Line to Consider Estimates
for the Storage Battery System.

President w. g. Cooper, of the Belt Lire
railroad, returned from New York a few
days ago. He went north on private
business. aud also to examine into the
system of electric railways Yesterday he
gave representative Of the MORNING
NEWs an interesting account of his OBJ
servatlons IN matters connected with new
motive plants for street cars.
Mr.. Cooper agrees with others who have
| investigated the subject, that the horse car,
with all its disagreeabls features, will soon
be RELOCATED to the tomb of stage coaches
and other vehicles Of antiquity. His exam
lnation embraced the overhead and the
storage battery systems, and he is very
pronounced in favor OF the latter. He in
spected the Julien system, which is in oper-
alton on the Fourth avenue line in New
York city, and the Gibson system, lately
introduced in Newark, n J. They are both
doing the work which they were intended
TO do very satisfactorily, at least so far as
could be ascertained from personal investi-
CATION, and from the statements of those
who have charge of the railways on which
they are operated.
The Julien storage battery is an English
or French invention, and the first motors
were made abroad, and were very heavy,
weighing with the car between TWO and
built in this country, however, have re-
duced that weight about one-third. 1t is
claimed that as they are now built the cars
are adapted TO any street railway in
ordinarily good condition.
The batteries in the storage system are
carried under the seats and are charged
from a dynamo every four to
i've hours. Each car is furnished
with two sets Of batteries, developing a
power OF about thirty-fve morse, of which
only twelve horse power is required to drive
the car after it is in motion. The batteries
are recharged every trip from a stationary
dynamo plant. A single charge, however,
Will run car from thirty to forty miles
and car will make 120 miles in a davis
run, which Is about double that of a horse
car. %
President Cooper is thoroughly impressed
with the idea that the storage battery, and
not the overhead wire system, is the future
motive power that is to be used on street
railways, and he believes that it is already
success, and he will so report to his COM
pany. Estimates for storage battery
equipment will be ready for presentation to
the board OF directors at its next meeting.

NORTH CAROLINA's TOBACCO.
The Crop Reported to be Greater
Than Ever Known.

@A0 SEOp TO be Greater
Than Ever Known.
Thomas N. Theus has returned from a
five weeks trip to Asheville, N. C. This is
his fifth visit to the mountains of Carolina.
Mr.. Theus took advantage of the opportu-
mites offered of touring the Asheville dis
trlct, and he visited some Of the tobacco
farms and saw the crops, which were about
to be harvested, and which were gathered
before he returned to Savannah He said
that the prospects for immense Yields are
more favorable for all crops than the people
of that part of the country have ever
known
The tobacco patches especially attracted
Mr.. Theus' attention. He brought back
with him sample of the tobacco leaf,
which has just been cured. It is a pretty
orange color, and is sold for SIS Der 100
pounds where it is grown.
The crop in North Carolina is about gath
cred and "housed" now. 1t Will be pre-
pared for the factories after it has become
thoroughly dry.
Not many tobacco growers have patches
larger than six and eight acres. The growers
consider that they have very large crop
when they have twelve acres. Even this
small acreage requires more attention than
some of the large cotton and corn fields in
Georgia. The greatest care is exercised in
preventing the worms from damaging the
leaves of the plant. A force of hands pick
ing the leaves is in the field from the ii ne
the plant gets large enough to have leaves.
until ma west time comes, when the stalk is
stripped and the leaves are bundled into
bales. they are slowed away until the
leaves have become perfectly dry, then
they are taken out and after being assort ed
and dressed the leaves are again bundled
and sold
