ColOTed Cotton Plants.

Hickory. N. c., Nov 21.-Mr. j. T. Me-
haffey of Newton, is a successful cotton
farmer He owns good land and makes
satisfactory crops.
Mr. Mehaffey delights in discovery. If
he sees a strange plant he likes to pro-
ject with it. Three years ago he saved
the seed from stalk OF dark purple
colored cotton that he found in one of
his fields among the green plants. At
first he thought the stalk with the red
dish purple leaves and limbs was freak,
but he decided to plant the seed and
The cotton from the seed came dark or
reddish purple. Seed were saved and
planted until now Mr.. Mehaffey has an
acre ard a quarter OF the odd looking
cotton. 1t is located in the heart of a
large field of green cotton and is a ma
tural curiosity. AS far as you can see
the field you can mark the difference. Mr..
Mehaffey is very proud of his new kind
of cotton as it yields well. The acre and
a quarter is good for a bale and half
this year, the staple is better than COM
mon cotton and there are additional adj
vantages. 1t is worth a trip out from
Newton to see this red cotton. AT a
distance it looks like patch of large
beet plants. H. +. c. 5.

Major Guthrie Speaks.

Major Guthrie began his speech for
the plaintiff at half past two and spoke
for three hours. He paid but short at
tention to the first ISSUE as the court
announced that it must be answered yes.
The second issue, WAS the defamatory
matter false" was treated at length.
Contending that it was false he took
DR.. Kilgo's remarks in the blue back
about the lover of truth and urged
the jury to seek it out, as Kilgo, the
lover of truth, had not appeared on the
witness stand, but was dumb as an
oyster, that though he was in the court
room The would rather sit on the hard
bench over there until the seat of his
pants grew to them than to appear in
the witness box.
Taking the picture of Gattis as a
hypocrite as described by Kilgo. Major
Guthrie read the definition of one and
after expressing wonder as to whether
Kilgo would be offended. if he drew his
picture and see whatt he could be
termed, this leading to description of
Kilgo as afraid to face jury under oath
and answer question as to, the falsity of
the charges he had made, he reviewed
all the events of the controversy be-
tween Clark and Kilgo leading UP to
the charge of Gattis being a gossip, a
charge not sustained, and then discussed
Kilgo as an ambassador of peace threat
ening to drive DR.. Kingsbury from the
State, his conduct showing him to be a
long ways from his Master
He spoke vigorously of the worship of
Mammon in this age and the spirit per-
vading the earlier Trinity College. He
declared that all that was really neces-
sary to let the world know of the decis-
ion in the Clark Kilgo case was the an
nouncing of the verdict, without publish
ing the kilgo speech, marking the diff
ference between this and the announcing
of verdict given in dispute among the
Apostles, and the. conduct of the trial
as compared with the impartial Schley
Court of Inquiry.
He justified fully the refusal of Gattis
to sign the settlement proposed by Dr.
Sw1ndell when copy of the agreement
was refused him. q
After showing how the falsity of the
charge could have been discovered he
left the second issue and turned to the
question of malice. This came because
the defendants Were mad at Judge
Clark and Mr.. Gattis, and though they
mad an opportunity to discover the fall
sity of the charges against Gattis, they
did not use it,

station is poorly adapted for its purpose.
There is no accommodation for the
horses or patrol wagon. This auxiliary to

is two blocks away from the station, with
no better facilities for responding to calls
than what the telephone service affords.
The cells are patched I'D from material
taken from the City Hall Prison and
screwed to the floor in temporary sort
of way. The rooms set apart for the use
of the sergeants are so crowded that there
is not room for a man to pass behind his

NO DRILLS IN DECEMBER
FOR THE GUARDSMEN
Prospect Of Reorganization on United
States Army Lines Meets
Approval.

December being the month when the
men who compose the bulk of the Ma
ton Guard Of California are busy on ac-
count of the holiday season, there will
not be any drills in the armories until
after the first meeting next January.
The recommendations of the Secretary
| of War in relation to the national guard
of the different States has been fully dis
cussed by the rank and file in this city.
and the general opinion is that II the
ideas of the Secretary were carried out
the guard in each State would be in
much better condition than at present In
case II is called upon for active service.
The suggestion that the guard should be
armed as is the regular army Is favored
because 1t is claimed that there Is no
good reason why there should be two
kinds Of arms in the service. particularly
as the guard knows not when II may be
called upon to serve with the regulars.
II there should be change IL would
undoubtedly arouse a spirit of military
enthusiasm which has been remarkably
on the wane of late, particularly in this
city
The division commander has been re-
quested to permit the Fifth Infantry
Regiment to hold a regimental camp next
year. 1t is likely that permission will be
granted and II II Is, the camp will be
conducted on the lines of the regular
army. This regiment has made arrange
ments for the next years regimental
shoot.
There Is a coldness between the bat
teries OF the artillery battalion, all on ac-
count of social relations. The batteries
are and G OF the old First. known as
the Nationals and F and * of the same
regiment. but are now known by their
artillery letters. The four occupy the
Ellis-street armory, and some time sihce II
was suggested that all four should form a
grand social organization and everything
was arranged. when II was discovered
that two men belonging to Captain
Cunningham's command were unsatisfac-
tory TO those who compose the Nationals,
and a request was made that they be dis
charged from the service. The reason as
signed was not deemed sufficient and the
request was denied. That broke off all
social prospects between the Nationals
and the other two batteries.
Arrangements are being perfected for
active work on board the Marion by
the naval militia after the first week in
January.
There will be grand promenade con-
cert and naval militia ball In Odd Fell
lows Hall on the evening of the 5th
inst under the auspices of the engineer
division and band of the Naval Militia of
California. The committee in charge ex-
poets that this function will be one Of
the most brillian affairs ever given under
