Definition of a Watt.

Everybody connected with the First
District Municipal Court in Long ISL

Kadien down, says the New York
Times, has been burning the midnight
gas delving deep into electrical lore
since the trial, a few days ago, of a
suit brought by the New York and
Queens County Electric Light and
Power Company against a consumer
to recover the amount of a bill for
power furnished. Among the wit
maker, counsel for the company. was
an expert in electrical matters.
"Now," said Mr.. Schoonmaker in
the course of the examination, adj
dressing the witness, twill you please
explain what a watt ISL"

looking up suddenly from some papers
before him.
Eyes, your honor" returned the
lawyer.
81 said what" repeated the court,
somewhat irritated.
why, yes, that is it, your honor,
and have asked the witness to ex-
plain what a watt is" said Mr.. Schoon-
maker, coolly.
Explain what?" asked the justice.
beginning to wax indignant.
What watt Is" replied the law
yer.
The court was about to lose its pa
thence when Mr.. Schoonmaker saw
the point and FASTENED to explain.
And he said that In the world of cleo
tricity a volt was the unit Of meas
urement for pressure. an ampere the
unit Of measurement for volume and
a watt the unit of measurement based
upon both pressure and volume. He
was going into kilowatts and such
things when the court suffered a short
circuit, and the case was adjourned

The Rocking OF Lake Erie.

The 250-mile trough of Lake Erie lies
approximately in the direction Of the
west to southwest winds which pre-
vail in that part Of the country. Thus
the lake offers an excellent opportuni-
ty for studying the effects of the wind
upon a large body of enclosed water,
and very interesting these effects
sometimes prove. Rhythmic gusts
produce a rocking motion, and great
blows from the west or southwest,
like that, for instance, which accom-
panied the Galveston hurricane in
September 1900, sweep the liquid
body of the lake eastward, and some
times cause a rise of eight feet or
more at Buffalo in the course of a
few hours. AS soon as the maximum
force of the gale has passed, the wa
ter swings back. Continued BOOKINGS
are observed on days when the
strength of the wind fiuctuates.

PROBABLE CANDIDATES.

Gen. Murphy may not run for gov
the arena. He has said heretofore that
if Davis ran he would go on the
stump and address the people. Those
who know the man will not doubt that
he will make his word good, whether
or not he offers for governor.
Two other gentlemen at the state
house are being urged by their re-
spective friends to run for governor.
Supt. Hinemon is said to be inclined
to enter the contest, while Judge Car
roll D. Wood is being strongly urged
to announce himself 1t is almost GER
will not run. They are both from the
same section of the state, and it is
likely that if one decides to make the
race the other will decline to inter-
fere Judge John Ike Moore of Helena
is probable candidate. He is
very cautious man, and has not ex-
pressed himself thus far Congress
man Fell Brundidge has been urged
to get into the fight, and host of
friends are hopeful that he may con-
clude to do so. Senator George Sen
gel, of Sebastian, is understood to
have the. matter under consideration,
and We have occasionally heard the
name of Mr.. McRae mentioned in the
same connection. The knowing ones
say he will not run. Ex-Speaker Van
deventer, who made the race four
years ago, would run again, it is be-
lieved, if he should receive the right
kind of encouragement. Hon. J. H.
Harrod and Col. e. w. Rector have
friends who would be glad to see them
in the field, and there are others still.
Ex-senator Manning was in the city
few days ago and discussed the sit
uation. Thus far it remains unde-
veloped It is believed it will change
soon and we shall know something
more of the outlook-Little Rock

WHY RENT?

When you can your own home
with the same money?
Tho Piedmont Savings and Invest
ment Company will enable you TO do
this.
Instead OF Paying Rent for years
n owning nothing at til, end Of the
term the property Is yours.
Meanwhile, you have had the home
from the Hrst-with the motive to i'm
prove it.
Owning ones home does more to
make an independent man than any
thing else.
Amau with little or no property finds
1T hard to borrow and build.
Such mon this company provides
credit for.
There are hundreds of working
men in this town paying rent on
houses that are not cosy and comforta
BILE, they have no convepiences, that
are not kept up and that are not inn
proving in value.
Lots in Laurens are cheap. These
same men, with the rent money they
are paying, can all own homes Ia
which they will take p-ide and which
will grow more valuable each year.
The Piedmont Savings aud Invest
ment Company is not "a building aud
loan association. Why? Because the
contract is certain and definite. The
borrower knows to q day when his
debt will be duo. Moreover the rate OF
interest is lower.
