City ,rarrnnts LIN Demand.


The city warrants of Pine Bluff are
now in demand at 81 cents on the
dollar. In fact, the demand, at this
figure, is greater than the supply.
This happy state of affairs has been
brought about through the skillful
fnaneering OF Mayor l.. f. Gold
smith, ably assisted by the present
City Council. When the present
officials assumed control Of the des-
tiny of the city its revenues were at
low tide. scrip had to be hawked
about the city to secure money to
pay off the fire department. Scrip
was worth only 80 cents ON the dol
lar. Since then, however, notwith-
standing the fact that the salaries OF
the members OF both the Fire Depart
ment and Police force have been in
creased, and a great deal OF money
has been expended ON public inn
provements, the value of city war
rants has steadily increased until to-
day it is IL difficult matter to pur-
chase them ut SIX cents. This is a
NOSE creditable showing for the
present administration.

Eject of Electricity on Plants.

NEW lOTk LeuSeT.
Nearly half century ago a physician,
who had faith in the stimulating qualities
of electricity, caused wire connected with

that 1t came in contact with the roots OF
a number of newly planted evergreens on
his lawn At the end of the season all
but one Of the trees under the influence of
condition, some of them having made an
almost phenomenal growth. Those that
were not connected with the battery had
one-third of them were evidently either i'm
bad condition or dead. But little investiga-
ton has since been made in this direction
until within the past few years, when gar
dens and fields have been so arranged
that currents of electricity could be sent
through them, charging earth and air to a
periments have been highly encouraging
and gratifying. One report gives the fol-
lowing Information: 1t appears that a

grain and GLE pounds of straw. while by
of rye and $500 pounds of Straw ivS. Wheat Wheat
and barley showed nearly the same average
returns while oats appeared to be even
more highly benefited by the electric treat
ment." 1t seems certain, from these ex-
periments, that electricity has a definite in
f1uence on plant growth, and Is capable Of
that this method hastens development, and
that grain viii r1pen earlier and more
evenly, and is more likely to be free from

and that his sugar beets are not only free
from all the maladies that these vegetables
are heir to, but that in size they are i'm
mense, and in quality unapproachable.
Radishes grown under electric influences
attained a length of seventeen inches, and
over five inches in diameter, while car
rot of five pounds in weight had diameter
of eleven inches. The grade of these vege-
that great size was not, as is frequently
the case, secured at a sacrifice of quality.
