This is just so much Greek to the average man, and if you tell him a kilowatt is one-and one-third horse-power he will only get a faint idea of what it is all about. To explain the term needs, first, a clear definition, and then a comparison. Every one will understand that a cer tain amount of force must be used to drive electric current through a cir cuit. This force is measured by volts; thus we have 110-volt currents and 220-volt currents, the one expressing Did you hear anybody say anything j ug j. t w ; ce t^e force of the other; but nc '' about backbone/ Why, bless your eyes, quantity of current passing through . “Little Joe” Brown has a spine like a a circuit depends upon the force and shall look for some of the captains of Norwegian pine.

What the hoi poloi want is free lights from the North Pole. If Cook ha»s planted the flag on the Pole, let President Taft send Uncle Joe Cannon up to pull the halyards and haul her down. We don’t need the North Pole. —Capt. Long continues his diary, and gives a graphic account of the 3torming of Chepultepec: Sept. 13.—The seige train has been coming in slowly for the past week, and finally these grim dogs of war are placed for harking. The town is in vested on all sides. Under the circum stances, anyone hut a fool Mexican commander would surrender without being forced to do so by the usual methods of a storming party. Each company has been provided with hand grenades. These are small bombs, to be used by our men when we reach the enemy’s fortified lines, on the Hupposi- ti.an that they may not he readily -ica'ied. or are stubbornly defended by the ’greasers.’ The fuses are cut short., lighted and thrown over the ramparts among the enemy. A con certed action of this kind has been known to cause panic among the de fenders Wo hope, at least, to make them do considerable dodging while we scale their works; for it is now certain that we will have this disagreeable task to perform. The ‘greasers’ ap pear in deadly earnest. Their pickets keep up a continual fusilade. Their seige guns begun early this morning to shell our batteries, which gallantly responded. The consequence is an ar tillery duel of terrific violence. Col umns are beginning to move towards cho outeirworks of Chepultepec. Skir- mistaera are thrown forward to drive tile enemy from the rocky fastnesses without the lines. These tentacles of tne army draw the fire of the ambus caded enemy. A battery of a dozen guns, situated on an eminence and commanded by Capt. Braxton Bragg, as 1 subsequently learned, poured a tornado of grape into the Mexicans as soon us the smoke of their guns dis closed their position. This, with the peppering that our heavy, skirmish linos gave them, caused the enemy to beat a hasty retreat. Once in plain view Bragg’s gunners mowed them down as they fled, and it was here that Gen. Scott exclaimed: 'Give them a little more grape, Capt, Bragg 1’ By this time the battle had opened in earnest, and the bursting shells and the clatter of small arms was almost deafening. The shouts of the Ameri- sans could be distinguished above the roar of battle. The capture of a Mex ican battery by Col. Jefferson Davis’ Mississippians was a heroic spectacle. The battery was located on a small plateau. The earthworks, behind which the vicious guns peeked from their embrasures, was borne down upon by Ihe columns of Davis’ regiment, whose measured tread reminded one of a dress parade evolution. The aim of the Mexican gunners was fine. At each discharge huge gaps were cut into our intrepid columns. Tall, and towering shove most of his comrades, Davis led his men with a dash to the fortified line. Reaching it, he was the first to mount, closely followed I y his men. Then a hand-to-hand struggle ensued. Their guns becomming useless, the Mexicans undertook to defend them selves with swabs and such othr tilings as they could lay hands upon. The Mis- sisippians clubbed their guns over the beads of the desperate Mexicans, final ly driving them back and spiking their guns. The enemy sullenly withdrew, and were enfiladed by Gen. Persifer Smith’s men. The engagement lasted until nightfall. The cordon of the American investing line closed in by ti o’clock. Here and there a part of the Mexican line remained intact, and a sprightly fusilade was kept up. A con centrated effort was made on these un broken lines, which finally yielded. By 9 p. m. the American army was within the walls of the city, and Gen. Santa Anna, with his defeated army, was falling back into the City of Mexico, some three miles distant. It must he admitted that the Mexicans fought des perately. hut there is something in the ■greaser’s’ physical make-up that ren ders him an inferior man-at-arms as compared with the American soldier. The storming of the castle of Chepul tepec was assigned to Gen. Pillow, who carried it at the point of the bay onet. The army is wild with enthusi asm. We know this is the last of an organized resistance to our arms. It may now he said that Mexico has been uorquered, and in a few months we will all return to our homes.” The following note was picked up an the street by th# writer. 1 reproduce its contents to show that the elegance firmer than the casemated rock of Gi- bralter.

Yea, verily; he’s the real "Arm and Hammer” brand! —I have just finished putting In Car rollton’s meter system, thanks to the industrious white laborer. Much against my inclination I began the work with negroes. After one day they struck for higher wages. I ig nored their demand, and advertised for white labor. 1 succeeded beyond my wildest hopes. The white men did my work well and expeditiously. It was thought it would take upwards of three months to do the work, yet it was ac complished inside of thirty days. Day by day, the white men did twice the amount of work the negroes had done, and without the least trouble. These worthless negro vagabonds lie around the towns, and, like the dog in the manger, they’ll neither work nor allow industrious white men to do public work, because of their apparent will ingness to take all the jobs that come along. The town authorities should give the cart-drivers’ and street hands’ places to white men. There are hundreds of industrious young white men who would be glad of an op portunity t >earn a dollar a day. Do this, and enforce the vagrancy laws against the idle and vicious negroes and force them hack on the farms, where they belong. 1 here and now de sire to thank those excellent white men who helped me accomplish a task the negroes had undertaken to thwart. May our authorities see their own and the white man’s interest, and employ no other labor than white men about the city. May heaven prosper the will ing, working white man! —Miss Eva Thomasson is spending the week with friends and relatives in F'ayetteville. —Mr. I. L. Cheney was the guest of homefolks this week. Our excellent principal of the city schools, Mr. H. B. Adams, and his family have returned from a six- weeks’ visit to Nashville, Tenn., and points in North Georgia. —Mr. M. M. Bradley has returned from the Eastern markets, where for the past two weeks he has been select ing and purchasing a fall stock of goods for his firm. —The public schools resumed Mon day. An excellent corps of teachers are in charge, and under the superb guidance of Brof. H. B. Adams the pu pils are sure to forge ahead in the acquirement of knowledge. —Capt. L. P. Mandeville has re turned from a trip to Galveston, Tex. —That excellent and wideawake mer chant, Tom Merrell, has just returned from Cincinnati, where he has pur chased a large line of fall goods. It goes without saying that he is one of the sprightliest merchants in Western Georgia. — "St, Peter sat by the celestial gate; The lock was rusty ami the key was dull,” but his wideawake namesake, Peter Lewis, of Temple, has made a hotel move. He has quitted Temple, and -is now in charge of the Southland Hotel here.

Thus 110 volts multiplied by 5 amperes is 560 watts, or 220-volts multiplied by 5 am peres is 1100 watts. A kilowatt is, of course, 1000 watts, which is the equiv alent of about 1 1-3 horse-power. In charging a battery the lighting company’s hill is for the use of so many watts for so many hours—thus, 1000 watts for 10 hours would be charged as 10 kilowatt hours, which, at b cents a kilowatt hour, would be 50 cents, a charge that seems little enough for 10 hours’ use of 1 1-3 horse-power. But what a kilowatt hour is worth may be judged by what it will do. Thus a kilowatt hour, figures an engi neer of the General Electric Co., will light twenty 16-candle power incandes cent lamps or two standard arc lamps for one hour; it will pump 100 gallons of water to a height of 25 feet; com press 470 cubic feet of free air into 100 pounds; drive an ordinary passenger elevator 15 feet; print 2500 circulars on a 15x21 job press, or 100 sheets on a 32x47 cylinder press; run a sewing ma chine for 2 hours; supply air for a church organ for one service ; mix 2 1-2 cubic yards ol concrete; heat a two- pint chafing dish for four hours; mix sufficient dough for 150 loaves of bread ; grind 600 pounds of coffee; it will drive a runabout 4 1-2 miles or a three- ton truck one mile. If your colored cook fails to mate rialize one of these bright autumn days just play the soft pedal on the family cook stove yourself, for she has proba bly gone to Kansas. A Taylor street family was thus galvanized yesterday, the kitchen mechanic having lit out for the wild and woolly West, where chit terlings grow in festoons upon the shade trees and a living can be made without working. It is said that a num ber of Americus negroes are interested in the emigration movement, while black bunches are going from other towns as well. They have no idea what they will do in Kansas, or why they wish to go there, but probably the same roseate picture that carried so many Americus negroes to California a year ago is being painted by Kansas artists. Nearly all of the California contingent are again back in dear old Georgia, and in a few weeks the bunch now hiking to Kansas will be counting the crossties on the way back to the cotton patches and melon fields of this favored • land. —Americus Times-Re corder. A young lady living in Atlanta visit ed the home of her fiance in New Or leans. On her return home an old ne gro “mammy,” long in the service of the family and consequently privileged to put the question, asKed : “Honey, when is you goin’ to git married?” The engagement not having been an nounced, the Atlanta girl smilingly re plied : “Indeed, I can’t say, auntie. Per haps I shall never marry.” The old woman’s jaw fell, and rest ing her hands on her hips and looking at her "mistess” from the corners of her eyes, replied sympathetically : “Ain’t dat a pity, now !” And then after a moment’s reflection she added: "But dey do say dat ole maids is de happiest critters dey is, once dey quits strugglin’.” *• ‘I have a sad errand, pastor,’ re plied the farmer. ’Farmer Henriks’ cow is dead in m.v pasture, and J am on my way to tell him. ’ “ ‘A hard task, indeed.’ “ ‘You may well say so, pastor; but I shall break it to him gently.’ “ ‘And how will you do that?’ ” ‘Oh, I shall tell him firsc that it is his father who is dead; and then, hav- | ing opened the way for sadder news ! still, I shall tell him that it is not his father but the cow!’ ” It seems that in a “quiet little game” j in Reno an unsophisticated stranger j saw the dealer deal himst’f four aces. ; He sidled over to a player opposite the dealer and whispered to him that the j dealer had four aces. “Well, what’s that to you?” de- i manded the player. “I am trying to tell you because. I thought that you ought to know,” an swered the rubber-neck. “I saw him deal himself four aces.” “Say, mister, you had better get out of here,” answered the player. “You don’t understand this game. What if he did deal himself four aces? Ain’t it his deal?” TRUTHFUL REPORTS. Newnan Hoads Them With Uncom mon Interest. A Newnan citizen tells his experience in the following statement.
