MACON, Ca, Dec. 2l.-On Tuesday night
some unknown parties nailed a large United
States flag, union down, to telephone pole
in this city. The attention of the officers Of
the United States court was called to the
matter, and by direction of Judge Speer the
United States marshal removed the flag and
ran it up over the United States building.
Judge Speer strongly reprobated the con

that such occurrences gave character tc
the southern people which they did not de
serve, and alluded in forcible terms to the
blessings and adv antages the people enjoy

NEW YoRK, Dec 21--A packed court

of Edward Meredith, the man who shot Phil
DAILY, the gambler, was called
Mr.. Purdy, for Meredith, arose and saidIhis
client wished TO withdraw his former pleas
and would now plead guilty to assault in the
first degree.
He said there were circumstances connected
with the casa that would prevent him from
properly putting the facts before the court
Meredith was not the prisoners real name.
He would not divulge it, nor would he rec
ommend it.
The prisoners family were respectable peo-
pie, and he preferred to suffer additionally
rather than give them further modification.
! BY pleading guilty he had savel the county
great expense, as the publicity given the
affair woull mako the securing of jury
very difficult matter Meredith, he said, also
wished TO assume as much of the response
bility of the deed as possible. He was the
principal offender
Assistant District Attorney Fitzgerald, in
answer to these remarks, said it had been
shown that the quarse were very dangerous
characters and should be severely punished
Great credit was due to the police for their
efforts in running down the badgers"
Considerable time, l;tOor and money had
been consumed in thiS operation, and the
prisoners should be made to realize it. If
any leniency was to be shown Hammond
should have the benefit of it as his aid had
materially assisted the police.
Judge MARITIME at first decided to wait until
tomorrow before passing sentence but,
after conversing with Inspector Byrnes, con.
cluded to go on. He said: Il can hardly
imagine more daring conspiracy than that
Matched by the four prisoners.
''New York is TO be congratulated in hav
ing so efficient police department. Mere
dith is the chief offender, as his intelligence
and education should have taught him better
have learned that your experiences in other
states have not been entirely satisfactory.
''Your crime was contemplate, base and
cowardly. l shall make some allowance for
your plea. The sentence of the court is that
you be confined in the states prison at hard
labor for eight years and ten months"
Meredith, who had been steadily gazing
into space, on the pronouncing of his sentence
turned quickly on his heel and walked very
rapidly down the aisle, disappearing into the
pen -
Hammond lolled on the rail in an indifTer-
ent manner and appeared to be but little
concerned with what was taking place.
In consideration of the assistance he reE-
dered the police his sentence was made six
years and eleven months at hard labor in the
states prison.

Roger Q. Mills SKID: "What we want for

is to extend our commerce. The highest
prosperity this country has ever had WIGS
when you hsve had heavy importations

NECESSITY is the mother OF inventto

NECESSITY is the mother Of invention
and discovery. The cid idea YVES that
Western Texas was only good grazing
country; but the country became over,
stocked with cattle, the grass gave out,
and the price OF cattle wen. down. There
WAS necessity for new movement. II
was made; the ground was plowed up
and planted, and we harvest twenty-five
bushels Of wheat, seventy-fv bushels of
oats, fifty bushels Of corn, and three-
quarters Of bale of cotton to the acre.
Some farmers will plow up their wheat
stubble and plant cotton; others intend
to SOW corn broadcast on wheat stubole
ground. Two crops is the idea now from
one piece CT ground. Pretty good for
