GUSTAVE JONES' PLEA.

Hon. Gustave Jones was the next speaker for the defense. He was quite eloquent in his re- marks. He told of the manner in which the people of Searcy acted in the Lightle trial. He said they didn't want to even give the defendant in this case a change of venue. He described the clapping of hands in the Thigh temple of justice. Mr.. Brundidge didn't have any ami mostly against defendant and if he was not guilty he hoped he would be acquitted.
 "Mr. Brundidge didn't tell you that he went off with the insur- ance people for pelf and himself, and two insurance companies were the only ones to go on the bond for costs. They started in by showing you an insurance pol icy and the last witness was Cox, an insurance agent.
 The argument will be resumed tomorrow and the case will prob- ably go to the jury about noon.
 One of the features noticeable in the case is that not one of the jurors is a Mason.

A FORTUNE IN A POTATO.
Huber Raised by scotchman and Sold at High Price-Well-Named
 the "Eldorado."

No potato ever gained so much notoriety as Eldorado, raised by the famous Scottish raiser MT. A. Findlay, of Markinch. The very name of the variety, says the Gar dener's Magazine, was a stroke of genius, for it is hardly possible that the raiser, or those who had the good fortune to secure some of the first tubers distributed, could have imagined that in so short a time it would change hands at such enormously high prices.
 MT. George Massey, of Spalding, was one of the very first to obtain the stock, and from him MT. Zach. ariah Gray, a welI-known grower at Everton, Sandy, purchased a stone weight for f20. This set the ball rolling, and as MT. Findlay resolved not to further distribute Eldorado until the autumn of 1904, the demand for the small stock available was doubled and trebled, and so the prices rose. Messrs. Dennis, the Covent Gar den salesmen, and Messrs. I. Poad X Sons, of York, possessed sup plies, and the latter firm found a purchaser of four pounds at f150 per pound. This determined them to obtain further stock, and so at the Smithfield club show a mem. Der of his firm found that Mir. Mas sey had a limited stock for dispos' al and made him an offer of fl, ,00G for a stone. Mir. Massey refused, as he wanted E1,500, but eventn- ally the bargain was struck al f1,400, to the satisfaction of both parties. Subsequently MT. Mas sey sold a relatively small Quan' tity for f2,000, so that his original transaction brought him . very handsome return.

GRAY HAIR AND X-RAY.
Another Sensational Claim Made for the Miracle Light-ImprObabtlit
 of Its Success.

The X-ray seems destined in many ways to pay the penalty of all sorts of sensational reports as to its supposed efficacy in treating intractable diseases. As might have been expected, its claims have been very much exaggerated, even In cases that offered plausible excuses for their possible vindication.
 The latest news is to the effect that this mysterious agency Is capable of re- storing gray hair to it's original color. How such an effect can be brought about no one attempts to explain. Nor would 1t be wise to offer any reason for 1t says the New York Herald, in the face of cer- tain well-known facts connected with the physiology of hair and its anatomi- cal character.
 All very we'll know that the color of the hair is part of it's nutrition and is dependent upon the secretion of pig ment in certain cells in its substance. When the hair loses its pigment vitality grayness ensues as a natural evolution ary process. The youthful tinge disap- pears by common law of progressive decay as age advances. The hair itself becomes virtually color dead, and all efforts to restore It's former life are ad- mittedly as futile as similar efforts to revivify other defunct processes.
 But now the X-ray must come in as an alleged miracle worker and give new hopes for the gray heads. Alas! many of the latter are desperate enough in their vanity to try any new thing that may present itself. To such 1t may be necessary to sound note of warning.
 Even if 1t should prove to be fact that the X-ray can do what Is claimed, the remedy is certainly dangerous one to become popular. If several hundred exposures" are required, not only will a great deal of valuable time be lost In the sittings and many fees exacted. but the positive damages ensuing after such prolonged treatment are not to be light ly considered. How to avoid the terri ble X-ray burns, which sometimes occur even with experts is still great prob lem. Edison, in a recent interview tn the Herald, emphasized this fact in manner not to be misunderstood. Thus there may be chance, with such as may be determined to try the new thing, for the traditional "old fool" to multiply himself over the land.
