Cieburne, Texas, August 1.-The
winning of the $250.000 bond issue
for good roads in Ellis countys pre-
cinct No. / Saturday has stimulat-
ed the good road advocates in this
county TO take on new hope. A good
roads district viii be surveyed in
this county right away. 1t is now
shown that $50 miles of good roads
can be built in this county without
raising the taxable values, and it is
thought the people in the rural dis
tricts will readily favor the bond is
sue when they ascertain that the
present rate of 1Sc will pay off
$500, 1000 good roads bonds in forty
years and leave enough money in
the treasury to keep the roads in
constant repair.

Two great marine boilers were left

have been sentinels there ever since

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
A General Election VIII Be Held in
Texas Tomorrow.

Tomorrow a general election over
the state will be held upon three
proposed amendments to the consti-
tuition OF the state, the amendments
having been adopted in resolutions
by the joint legislature, and the nee
essary publication having been
made as provided by law.
The first of the proposed amend
ments relates to the valuation of
school districts and the bonded in
debtedness of such districts and au-
thorizing the levy and collection of
taxes to- pay such Indebtedness. In
brief the amendment provides that
every school district already formed
whether under the old law or under
a special act and whether its terri
tory is within one or more counties
is declared valid; that all bonds is
sued by such districts having been
approved by the attorney general
registered by the comptroller, and
issued in conformity with the law
are declared valid; that each such
district is authorized to levy and
collect an ad valorem tax sufficient
to pay interest and create sinking
fund to redeem the bonds at maturi-
ty, and that all trustees heretofore
elected in such districts are delegat-
ed the authority to levy such taxes
until their successors are duly elect
ed and qualified. This proposed
amendment is to article Z of the
constitution of the state, and is a
new section to be known as section
ga.
The second of the proposed
amendments relates to authorizing
cities and towns to be incorporated
by a special act of the legislature
where the population exceeds 5000
inhabitants. The amendment pro-
vides that cities and towns having a
population of less than 5000 may be
chartered alone under general law;
that they may assess and collect an
nual taxes for the support of their
governmentknot to exceed for any
year Ia of Sper cent and the total
property valuation, and that all tax
es, fines, occupation taxes, etc, shall
be collectahle in current money:
that cities having AZ population of
more than 5000 may have their
charters granted or amended by
special act, and may assess and col
lect taxes not toJeXceed , 12 per cent
of the taXablet property of the city
and that no debt shall ever be Great

same time provision is made to as

ELECTRICAL DICTIONARY.
4 Few Things That Everyone
should Know About Electricity

In this electrical age when cleo
tricity is invading every business
and nearly every home it is import
ant that everyone should know and
understand the electrical terms now
part of our language. The follow
ing definitions of commonplace
electrical terms, as explained by a
! General Electric engineer, will be
found interesting and instructive:
Alternating Current Electric
current which reverses its direction
of flow periodically
Ampere-The practical unit of
electric current indicating quantity
not pressure, One ampere is the
amount of current which will pass
through a resistance of one ohm UNI
der pressure of one volt.
Arc-The brilliant bow of light
which appears between the slightly
separated terminals of an electric
circuit carrying a sufficiently power
full current
Armature-The soft iron keep
err which is placed across the poles
of any magnet. The movable attract
ed part of any electromagnetic APP
paratus. That part of an electric dy-
namo carrying the conductors in
which the current is generated That
Of O. oil trip y1-hi oh
crates mechanical power.
- Brushes-The electrical conduc-
tors which transmit current to re-
volving parts of apparatus by sliding
contact, as on a dynamo or motor.
Candle-Power-The amount of
light given by standard sperm
candle and the unit of measure
ment of Illuminating power
Carbon--An elementary non-me-
tallic electrical conductor much used
in the electrical arts. 1t is used for
the inactive element of battery cells,
the electrodes or terminals of arc
lamps. the brushes of dynamos and
UOloTS, etc. ARC lamp CdTDOuS are III
the form of round rods.
Choking Cola coil of insulated
wire wound on an iron core in such
a manner as to possess high self
inductance. It is used to obstruct or
cut off an excess of alternating cur
rent with minimum loss of power.
The greater the frequency of the al
ternating current. the greater the
choking effect.
Circuit-A complete conducting
path for an electric current
Circuit. Short-A circuit of low
resistance. An accidental connection
through which the current flows,
deserving its proper path.

T1Hct carried by vote or more tndn
four to one, it is but necessary to say
that those who thoroughly under
ton as it effected Waxahachie and
the entire district feel very much
gratified With few exceptions those
who opposed the measure did so be
cause of a lack of understanding,
and when the great benefits from
the building of these pike roads be-
endorse the wisdom of a vote that
has brought about such wonderful
change in conditions. The few eX-
ceptons to this rule Of good citizen
ship can be classed as species of
humanity that always opposes what
the other fellow wants-a Kind Of
harmless insanity that may be out
grown. The Waxahachie District has
set the pace which will control in
other districts in the county to the
end that Ellis countv~Will be lifted
out of the mud" and the people
made more prosperous and happy.
The Light and Enterprise have
worked for years for better roads
and that these papers should feel es-
pecially rejoiced over the Saturday
victory is perfectly natural. We con-
graduate the citizenship upon it's
good sense and progressiveness.

As chairman of the good roads
committee. we wish to express
through your paper our appreciation
of the good result Saturday. Especi-
ally do we thank our speakers for
their active part, as well as your ac-
tons. III our behalf
The campaign has been an educa-
tional one 1t has been explained how
our town has been helping to pay
for bad roads in the county all these
years instead OF the countryman
bearing the burden alone. When this
was explained and We extended our
hand to further help our countrymen
he grasped il with warm welcome
and We will now proceed to pull aim
Oul of the mud, which Will be a mu-
tual benefit to us both. Not only this
but we feel like the spirit Of mutual
benefit and brotherly love prevails
in the land between town and coun-
try more than it ever has, and we
ask each and every man to help this
spirit on the move so we can ac-
complish greater results in the flu

another giving school districts the
right to incorporate without special
act OF the legislature and the third
comforting added powers for i'm
provement purposes on the smaller
cities of the state.
In a case decided by the supreme
court it was held that there was no
constitutional warrant for the or
ganization OF the county-line school
districts, and this decision invali-
dated about forty Independent
school districts that embraced terri
tory in two or more counties, School
districts may be organized in any
portion of a county, but the people
living on one side of county line
cannot cooperate with those on the
other side to form an independent
school district which embraces ter
ritory on both sides of the line The
thirty-first legislature submitted an
amendment to authorize the forma-
ton of independent school districts
without regard to the county line
and the assessment and collection of
school taxes in such districts and
this is one Of the amendments to be
voted on Tue day.
