goans About Eruit Crop.
Chicago, 111., Aug. 20.-—Texas as
a part of paradise for the Industrious
bouse-wlfo who revels in "putting
up" preserves was pictured by Rev.
frank D. Rurhans, at present paster
of the Central Congregational church
In Dallas, Tex., who has just arrived
in the city.
•'We have a bumper crop in Texas
this season." declared the clergyman,
"and fruit is reasonable to a point
that would amaze Chicagoans, I sup-
pose. Texas is getting to be a great
peach country and this Reason has
turnrd out Elberta peaches that are
excellent In such quantities, too,
that thousands of bushels arc gone
to waste because it was absolutely
impossible to pick them or get ship-
ping facilities.
"And you can got these excellent
specimens of fruit as low as 2,r.c
a bushel. Remarkably sweet canta-
loupes are another bargain. They
can be purchased for 1c to 2c
apiece."

Georgia GiilM<i-iiatni-inl Contest.
Atlanta, (la., August 20.— The
democrats of Georgia tomorrow
will name a governor and other
state officers, members of the judi-
ciary and representatives in con-
gress in primaries in which nomi-
nations in all cases are considered
equivalent to election.
Interest ts confined almost whol-
ly to the gubernatorial nomination,
in which the candidates are John
M. Slayton of Atlanta, Joe Hill Hall
of Macon, and Hooper Alexander of
DeKalh county. A number of the
present state officers have no op-
position for re-nomination. The
majority of the present congress-
men likewise will be re-nominated.
A preference vote is to be taken for
I hoice of a United States senator,
but as Senator Bacon is assured of
re-election the voting will he of a
purely perfunctory character.

The North Texas Gas company is
now about ready to begin work in
the city limits at laying mains lor
the natural gas supply. In accord
with the ordinance granting
franchise, the city appointed a man
as inspector for the city over the
line, such inspector to he paid by
the gaa company. E- T. Jackson was
recommended and elected to the po-
rltlon. Also the couftci! approved
of tne action of B, It. Brown and
L. B. Donning transferring the fran-
chise to the North Texas Gas Co.
City Engineer P. C. Thurman wa3
appointed with Street Commissioner
Dugan as the proper authority for
I he gas company to make reports to
and to accept plots of the work while
in operation.
A committee from the Young
Men's Business Association appear-
ed before the council and urged that
the city require the Mackay Tele-
graph company to reset the paving
over the ditches where they recently
put in underground conduits.
All members except one were pres-
ent at the meeting and chiefly rou-
tine business was transacted. After
Mayor John Wall had presided at the
meeting for a while he was excus-
ed, ai lie had some wt$rk m do and
R P. Hopson took the chair. Mayor
Wall was instiui'ted to make a trip
to Austin in the interest of the
$198,000 bond issue. He will leave
today for that place, going by way
cf Dallas, accompanying Fire Chief
Arnold! and Councilman Thrasher
to attend a demonstration to bo given
by an automobile fire engine.
Carter street was shown to need
grading very badly, and (Ivy street
committee was asked to give the
same attention ns soon as possible.
The r(ty will furnish paint and
the fire department will repaint the
fire plugs in the city, tn order that
same can be located without diffi-
culty.
The $10,000 bond issue which
carried early in the summer, lias
bpen approved, sold, and the mayor
and secretary have signed the in-
struments. It is thought that the
money will be in the hands of the
city government by the first of next
week.
The ordinance committee was In-
structed to bring in an ordinance
providing that the city water works
force shojuld in the future be the
only force, in authority to make con-
nections with water mains in the
streets. At present this is left in
the hands of the plumbers of the
city, but it has caused some trouble
and Superintendent McDuffie rec-
ommended that the ordinance be
changed. It is proposed that it will
be a saving to both the consumer
and the city. At the next meeting au
ordinance la to be brought, up pro-
viding that automobiles, and all oth-
er vehicles shall always use the
right hand' side of the street. The
purpose Is to prevent accidents.
Work on the sewerage in Fair
view is progressing nicely.
A number of sidewalks are being
built, but there are still a number
that have been notified to build
them that have not connplied.
Fire Marshal Geo. E. Copley re-
ported five fires for July and that
he had made a general inspection of
the city.
C. A. Thomas reported that the
work of having weeds cut in the oitv
had been finished and that the
amount of the claim on that account
was $372.4 2.
The proposition was brought be-
fore the council that Sherman create
a certain territory as a reservation,
and that a strict rule be enforced
on that part of town. No action was
taken on the subject, saying that the
city would, prosecute all such places
and that it would compel all guilty
to be governed by the law.
The other work was the reading
and adoption of regular reports from
committees.

A PECULIAR COMPLAINT.
Rats and Lizzard* Interfere With
tile Operation of Electrical
Machinery.
A small rat revolving at the rate
of fifteen hundred revolutions per
minute has been found extremely
detrimental to the proper operation
of electrical machinery. Lizzards ro-
tating at a similar speed have bgen
found equally detrimental. An
armature was recently returned front
Costa Rica to the Crocker-Wheeler
company at Ampere, N. J., with the
request that the ventilating holes
be screened with gauze or in some
other fashion. The Costa Rican
correspondent wrote:
"There are openings or holes in
the ends of this armature and when
it is not running small animals find
in it an attractive hiding place.
When the power is turned on they
are thrown against the casing and
the •centrifugal force makes a dis-
tribution of their contents and in
this way The armature is short cir-
cuited and burned out. Thft trouble
has occurred twice, and afterward,
on one occasion the remains of
lizzard was found, and on the other,
a small rat.”
The rotors of Crocker-Wfieeler
small motors and generators re-
volve at the rae of one to two
thousand revolutions per minute,
the I Uhls i« an unusual number of revo-
lutions per minute even for South
America, and the rat and lizzard
must have become extremely dizzy
before venting their wrath by caus-
ing the motors to burn out.—'Elec-
trical News.
