 Personal Notes.
 There was an attendance of about 800 at the rink Saturday night to see the polo game between New Haven and Wallingford. The game was hustling one from start to finish, although the New Havens were too fast for the local team. Yet they had to work to cage the ball. Tn the second inning Heineman took O'Hare's position at center and did fine work. The Wall ingfords played @ fine blocking game, but the rushers were not fast enough to keep up with Spencer and Gavitt of the Elm City team. Starkey did great work at goal being credited with 99 stops, while Mallory had S2. Taking the game compared with others played here the Wallingfords made the best showing of the season, but still lack team work, especially passing, and are not accurate drivers. The Hartfords will make their first appearance in Wallingford tonight and the borough to win their first game at home.

, very poor Though the land was IN
usually poor and the year one OF the
worst cotton years in The history OF
the south, the cotton fourished. MIR
Jackson used nothing to enrich the
soil in which the seed was planted
The test was a severe one, but, not
withstandng that fact, some Of the
stalks are us high as seven feet.
The cotton produced by this seed is
of the very finest quality, and is even
as fine as long staple cotton. Jackson
has been offered ten cents per pound
for what he has raised this year, but
he has refused to accept it and belle
YES he will be able to get II cents for
it, Cne Of the peculiarities of this
cotton is the fact that it is leafIess.
When the stalk grows up leaves begin
to sprout out on it, and after they
have grown out for some distance the
fruit comes out from the stem Of the
leaf. After the fruit has partially
matured the leaf drops off, leaving
the stalk perfectly leafless, This is
the onlA 4 cotton of ITS kind ever heard
of IN THIS county, and Is causing no
end Of comment among the farmers
throughout the South.
The farmers Of south Georgia have
sent their committee to Atlanta to buy
the seed from Mr. jackson, because
they believe that if the cotton is
planted throughout the sonth they
will be ruined beyoGd repair. They
are of the opinion that if cotton will
do so we'll under so severe test,
when planted and cultivated it will
produce so much that cotton will be
so cheap that there will be no money
in it for The farmer.
Jackson says that if the cotton is
cultivated it will produce at least two
bales TO the acre, and possibly as
much as four. He feels sure that he
will be able to convince the commit
tee from South Georgia of the fact
that the cotton will be the greatest
thing the south has ever seen or heard
of. He says that with this cotton in
use all over the south the farmer can
reduce his acreage by over oDe-half
and raise more cotton than he is rails
ing now. The land that he does not
use for cotton can be rut into profta-
ble use, and the income of the fam
er will be doubled as compared with
the amount of labor employed in the
raising of cotton.
jackson does not much like the
idea of having the seed DESTROYED.
but will Sc II it to the south Georgia
committee if they will pay him a
large enough price for ii. If he re-
fuses $4,000 he will have the conso
lation of knowing that he has been
offered the highest price ever before
offered for cotton seed.-Atlanta

Wonderful Seed.

All Atlanta farmer has created Il
sensation in agricultural circles by be
ing waited on by committee of south
Georslans appointed by the farmers
OF that section of the state to buy
from him the seed from a crop Of cot
ton. The price to be paid for the seed
is $4,000, The man who raised and
owns the valuable cotton seed is Mr..
jackson, well-known farmer, who
lives on and cultivates the farm of
Tax Cole ctor Stewart. The citizens
of south Georgia are not the only per-
sons who are anxious to become ow-
ners Of the cotton seed. Other men
throughout the state have made offers
almost as fattering, all of which have
been refused by jackson.
The unnatural part of the offer to
be made jackson by the committee
from south Georgia is the fact that
the men who will buy the seed do not
wish 10 plant them. On the contrary
if they get possession of the seed they
will destroy them as quickly as posi-
Bile, taking care that not single seed
escapes. Such price as that for cot
ton seed was never heard of before.
Jackson has received hundreds Of Of
fers for his seed, but even he was sur
prised Wheu he heard that a commit
tee would wait on him for the pur-
pose of Offering him as high rs SIS,
900 for his crop.
The seed has history Of a kind
that is unusually interesting. Sever

an exploring party which had started
to the centre Of Africa. He was
wealthy, and went on the trip simply
for the novelty of the experience.
When in the very middle of Africa
the prrty came across some cotton
the stalks of which were over 20 feet
in height. The government botanisl
who was along with the party took the
measure Of one of the stalks, and it
was from this stalk that the first seed
came. The Jew cut off about Is in
ches Of the stalk with a view to bring
ing it to America. On the stalk were
50 bols the largest and finest ever
seen. The seeds were well preserved
by their original owner, and were
brought safely to America. While
on "a trip through the South the man
who had brought the seed from Afri-
ca told of them. and stated that lie
would give them to some farmer who
would take care of them. jackson
was mentioned to him, and the Jew
turned lhe seed over to him.
jackson planted the seed and
watched its growth with fond eyes.
He had heard how high the stalks
from which the seed were taken had
been, and he determined to grow
stalks equally us high. His fist
crop was a success. The stalks Of
the cotton grew to an enormous
height.

for two additional men on the force of the

Mr. Nicholson, who had the promise of
getting a man on the clerks force during
the latter half of the session, and failed 10
get 1t, yesterday introduced resolution
for the appointment of two more enrolling

man appointed he would vote for the in
crease; otherwise, nay. Gabriel's man was
Don Wells, and Mr.. Jones declared that
Wells was given flat promise by the clerk
that he should have place during the lat
ter half of the session. After a whole lot
of discussion the Nicholson resolution Was
killed.
In the afternoon Mr.. Thomas offered a

defer action upon it until Monday, but it
was not deferred. Mr.. Shideler said the

Governor Mounts Method of Scrutin-
izins Hills

An instance illustrating the carefulness
and methodical nature of Governor Mount
happened yesterday. He was considering
the bill which has passed both branches of
the Legislature with reference to legalzng
certain acts Of the trustees of Irvington
with reference to street improvements One
OF the Marion county representatives was
unable to give the Governor any nforma-
ton as to the merits of the bill He hap
pened to be i'm the vicinity of the post
office, and sought the office of man who
lives in IrvingtOn. but the man had
changed his quarters and the Governor
could not locate him. He was i'm something
formation desired. when a Journal reporter
was uShered into his private room, and was
wondering if there was any one at Irving
ton he could reach by telephone. Governor
Mount Is one of the most approachable
men that has held the office in recent years
and always has time to give to newspaper
men.
1t is often a difficult matter to get in
formation as TO the merits of a bill" said
Governor Mount. referring to his efforts of
the morning. "A mere reading of the bill
does not always show its purpose He had
a big stack of bills before h L that were
awaiting his sigma ture or vet. Every one
who has seen an engrossed bill knows what
sometimes written in the half dozen diff
ferent styles of chirography of as many

that that is but a small part of his work
and that the real work is in getting in
formation on them

BUILDING AND LOAN.
The Bill WIZ he Introduced Early
This Week.

There was a further conference of the
building and loan committee yesterday
morning. Senator La Toilette, chairman OF
the Senate committee, says that the idea
is to have a bill drafted that will meet with
the approval of the entire committee, in
order to avoid minority reports. 1t is re-
garded as being better TO so adjust all
questions in committee that there will be
none to settle on the floor OF the Senate.
In the end business is expedited by this
course. Senator La Toilette said yesterday
that in all probability the bill introduced
would be known as the McCord bill, al
though ii would be a modified form of the
original bill introduced by Senator McCord,
who says that his bill is practically the
same as that he introduced two years ago
and against which there was such a strong
fight. Senator La Toilette expressed the be-
lief that the bill would be agreed on and
submitted early this week. The vital feat
ures of the bill were published yesterday.
Ii Is now being drafted. but before II Is
presented it Will be passed upon by the
Joint committee. IL will probably be sub
stituted simultaneously In the Senate and
House for bills that are pending.

far the management is concerned
There are several old buildings one or two
of them dating back as far as 1910, which
are sadly in need of renovation or replace
ment. The sanitary conditions are unusu-
ally favorable and the discipline has never
before reached so high "a standard. The
grading system which Warden Hert intro
duced has already worked wonders in the
tain privileges are allowed with the high
convicts to reach it by exemplary conduct,
in order that their lot may be the easier.
The members OF the committee speak IN
very complimentary terms of Warden Hart
and Assistant Warden Garland.
Members of the committee say that VIII
liam Kennedy the man who was sent up for
life from Greensburg for murder, can live
but a little while longer. as pulmonary
trouble has made him but shadow OF his

strong doubt in the public mind as to the
guilt of Kennedy. and many prominent
men who have investigated his case be-
lieve that his confinement Is one OF the
most fragrant cases of injustice in the an
mails of criminal history in Indiana.

FOR POOL ROOM LOSSES
PROSECUTOR wILTsIE SUES IN BE-
HALF OF G. w. ELLiOTT's WIFE.
The Husband Lost S2,37S in the Iron
PIace-ActiOn Taken Under an
Old Statute.

Yesterday Prosecuting Attorney Charles s.
Wiltsie brought suit in the name of the
State on relation of himself TO recover 81 $40
poolroom that was formerly operated in the
rear of William Irons saloon on North Ill
inois street. The suit is brought to recover
the money for BERTHE Elliott, wife of the
man who lost 1t, and is under an old stat
ute that few lawyers know TO be the
books of the State. This statute gives a
man who loses money by gambling the
right TO recover from the winner, and after
the expiration of six months from
the duty of the prosecuting attorney of
the county in which the loss occurred to
bring suit in his own name for the recovery
of the money for wife or minor children of
the loser, or in case there is neither wife nor
children. then on behalf of the school fund
of the State. The suit was filed by attor-
neys Noel and Lair, counsel for Mr.. Wilt
sic.
The complaint sets out that in the early
part of 1894 George w. Elliott received 1900
as his share of a sum eceiYed in compro-
mise from the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. He had been brakeman for the COM
pany and lost foot. Suit was brought,
but the case was compromised. In March,
1894, Elliott began frequenting the pool
rooms owned by Samuel l.. Douglass in the
rear of Irons saloon and before the last
of September of the same year he had lost
$3.50, which included the money received
from the railroad company and all OF his
horses races which took place in other
cities.
