Electricity is easily measured. We
know how fast it travels over. a
wire. Its speed is really astonishing,
as it will travel fully 10000 miles
second. It travels as fast over a
copper wire as light waves travel
through the atmosphere. The
amount of work electricity will do
is measured in watts. A Thousand
watts is known as a kilowatt and is
equal to one and one-third horse.
power When you have used Kill
oWatt of electricity to light your
home you have really used one and
one third horse power. When you:
have used a .kilowatt of 8. electricity
Ito light your home you. have really
used one and one third horse power
Of electrical energy. The amount of
current flowing over the wire. is:
measured in amperes and the pres
sure is measured in volts instead of
pounds. Electricity for household
lighting purposes flows over the
wires at a pressure of 40 volts. For
transmitting the current from city
to city it is sent under enormous
pressure. Lines. of over 100000
volts are not unusual. 7
{ Energy is indestruc tible, yet ever
assuming new forms. The chemical
energy in the cell of battery is con-
verified to electrical energy, which,
in turn, becomes thermal, mechani-.
cal or radiant energy at our will. It
is not, however, until energy or
work is performed for a definite
time that it becomes measurable as
power. One ampere under a pres
sure of one volt for one hour gives
the watthour; ten cubic feet of wa
ter per second, under a head of
ninety feet, gives about one hun
dred horsep which is also ap-
proximately the power necessary to
heat one pound Of water seventy
degrees Fahrenheit in one second. =.
Because. electricity is practically
new to the world it is mysterious to
most of us. In time we will all be-
come so familiar with this form of
energy that it will be no more mys-.
terious and fearsome than the
steam engine. Perhaps by that time
the world will be experimenting
with some new form of energy and
electricity will be an old story.

After POStmaSter'S Shoes.

Democrats at Elkton, Trenton and
Guthrie are getting pie hungry. The
term of postmaster at Elkton, says
the Times, does not expire for two
years, but charges of "pernicious
political activity" have been filed
against him and an Inspector has
been to Elkton to investigate. The
Times says t h for awhile it was
thought that Walter Abshire was
sure to displace w. L. Kimbrough
but this week F. M. Taliaferro seems
TO have the inside track. w. A.
Dickinson, who was defeated for the
Democratic nomination for County
Clerk, will, unless all signs fail, sue
coed E. G. Stockwell at Trenton.
Hopkinsville's postmaster is smil-
ing serenely, drawing his salary and,
from all appearances, is not making
conspicuous by ''pernicious
political activity"

INCENDIARY FIRE.
Webster County Having TrOu-

Bumpers take notice. Do not
sell your tobacco on the Hopkinsville
market or anywhere else"
Inc-ndiaries are supposed to have
started a fire at Slaughteryille be-
fore daybreak Sunday morning.
which destroyed the large factory
and the 60 acres of tobacco of H. B.
Archibald, the Baptist Church and
two dwelling houses occupied by col
ored people.
A note. as above. supposed to have
been left by the firebugs, was print
ed with a pencil and was found
which was unsigned.
1t appears that a few days before
the fire occurred, Mr.. Archibald
carried several samples of his weed
to Hopkinsville for exhibition on the
loose leaf floor and it is understood
that he intended to sell his crop in
this manner.
Last year he pooled part of his
crop and sold the rest independently,
it is said.-Dixon Journal.

Tot White Shot at RumSey
Fleming Four Times Three
Taking Effect.
VICTIM ALIVE YESTERDAY.
White Arrested and Examining
Trial Held Yesterday
Morning.

A shooting fest took place at old
Garrettsburg last Saturday about
o'clock p. m. Tot White and Rum
sey Fleming, both colored, we're the
principals.
White says that he another colored
man were sitting on porch when
Fleming came up and commenced
talking with the other negro. The
conversation was about some hogs
having gotten into a cornfeld of
Jennings and when the men got
angry and were about to get into a
difficulty, he (White) told Fleming
to do the fair thing. Fleming, White
says, then asked him what he had to
do with it. White said in reply that he
just wanted to see the right thing
done, and then Fleming commenced
swearing and called him by a name
that should not be printed.
1t was then that the shooting took
place. White says he emptied four
chambers # his 80 caliber pistol at
Fleming, but did not know how many
times he hit him
Fleming returned the shots of
White but did not strike him. Yes
terday morning Fleming was resting
easy, but it will be almost a miracle
if he RECEIVERS. Two of the shots
took effect little above each groin
and another entered Jennings body
in the right side, just below the ribs.
The authorities here were notified
and Deputy Sheriff Herbert Johnson
left Saturday night and wen t to
Whites house and arrested and
brought him to the city and placed
him in Jail.
White was before Judge Knight
yesterday morning and waived a
preliminary trial. He was held over
to the next grand jury on the charge
of malicious shooting in an affray in
the sum of $500 The bond was made
and White was released.
