DISASTROUS STORM
IN HUNT COUNTY
Enormous Property Damage in
Greenville Reported and
Harverted Crops Lost.
Dallas News.
Greenville, Tex., July 2.—The
most disastrous storm in eleven
years visited this section of the
state early this morning. It has
resulted in heavy property loss
in Greenville and the surround-
ing country, in placing this city
in danger of a water famine by
flooding the pumps in the mu-
nicipal plant and in demoralizing
railroad, telegraph and telephone
lines. The city is in darkness,
the light plant having been put
out of commission. No lives
were lost, but many sections
were flooded and it was neces-
sary to use boats to rescue a
number of marooned families.
Some rain fell after 2 o’clock
this morning. At 5 o’clock
tremendouu downpour began,
accompanied by vivid flashes of
lightning and deafening peals of
thunder arousing everyone in
the city. Within three or four
hours the Sabine River'had over
flowed its banks and flooded all
the bottom lands.
WATER SITUATION IS SERIOUS
At the electric light and power
station in the northern part of
the city the water flooded the
pump house. The settling basins
for the eastern reservoir were
also covered. The flood rushed
oyer the Sabine dam, with a
roar like that of a young Niagara.
There will be no electric lights or
power before Saturday. There
is probability, also, of a water
famine, as the standpipe was not
full and the pumps can not be
used to till it. Connections have
been cut off in order to save the
water for use in case of fire.
City Commissioner Arnold hopes
to be able to pump water into the
standpipe some time tomorrow.
Several families were unable
to escape from their homes at
points north and south of Green-
In three hours the Govern-
ment gauge registered a precipi-
tation of over four inches. The
lain is said to have been heavier
northwest of Greenville than it
was in the city. At Celeste un-
official measurements showed
over six inches. All over Hunt
county creeks are out of their
channels and all bottom land is
under water. On many bottom
lands which are overflowed only
in extremely wet years, as a rule,
the water is backed up four or
five feet deep

is now preparing the papers in

that the new building will be
commenced about September 15

it ready for occupancy by Jan-
uary 1. Richardson folks are to
be highly commended for this

How Coca Cola Refreshes
The remarkable success which
has attended the sale of Coco-
Cola has been explained in
many different ways. Some have
attributed it to “good advertis-
ing;*’ others, to “efficient man-
agement,” others, to its “delic-
ious flavor” and still others to
the fact that it was the first in
the field of “trademarked" soft
drinks.
In this connection, the opinion
of a manufacturing chemist who
has analyzed Coca Cola and stud-
ied its history for many years,
will prove interesting. He at-

— that the chemical
composition of Coca-Cola is prac-
tically identical with that of cof-

the only material difference be-
ing the absence of tannic acid
from Coca-Cola. Ho points to
the laboratory experiments of
Dr. Hollins worth of Columbia

conclusively that the caffeine-
containing beverages (coffee, tea,
Coca-Cola, etc.) relieves mental
and muscular fatigue by render-
ing the nerves and muscles
more responsive to the will, thus
diminishing the resistance pro.
duced by fatigue. These ex-
