GREEN COTTON is
GROWN BY GEORGIAN
FIELDS OF RED AND BLUE AS
WELL AS WHITE ANTICIPAT-
ED BY PLANT EXPERTS.

ATLANTA. Ga.-Possibly the fu-
ture may find southern cotton fields
red or blue with the opening lint, as
well as white. Such a possibility is be-
ing anticipated by Atlanta chemists
and plant experts. Already it is claim
ed green cotton has been grown on
Georgia farm. If green can be pro-
duced in the lint or fiber by breeding
colors into the plants, why not red.
blue or any other color'
A number of experiments in devel-
oping coors in cotton fiber are re-
ported, some OF them indicating a con-
siderable degree OF success IN produc-
ing cotton of various hues and tlnts.
The subject has aroused a good deal
OF interest on account OF the scarcity
and prohibitiye prices OF dyes, a reVo-
luton in the dye industry having been
occasioned by shutting off the impor-
tation OF German dyes.
Some manufacturers OF cotton goods
have pointed out that if staple OF fast
color could be produced it would save
dveing and the raw cotton could be
made into yarn for weaving without
any preliminary process. A number OF
cotton growers in Georgia have con-
ceived the idea of breeding color" in
to the cotton plant just as color is
bred into animals.
A farmer, c, F. O'Bryant, OF Dali
ton, Ga, reports having produced a
cotton fiber OF well-dehned color,
while a prominent planter OF louisa
ma is said to be experimenting along
similar lines. Some chemists here hold
that instead Of cotton with the regular
snow white appearance, it can be
grown and made to acquire any color
of the rainbow.
But these are ex parte statements,
it is pointed out here, and there is
still known to exist great antipathy
white. White is susceptible to all
dyes, any color scheme being derivable
from the basic white. If there should
be a strong popular demand for green
cotton or pink, no doubt, it is claim
ed, the scientists and cultivators would
soon evolve some such tints. But at
present white is the standard for all
cotton, and when it is shaded or tint
ed its commercial value is deprecated.

senator Tor year. He had driven the
train from Rockymount, n. c, to that
station. and had made many similar
trips with the Georgia passenger he
said. At the sight OF the dead chief
tain, the engineer, clad in his worn
working clothes, broke into tears
MANY scenes OF pathos were found
in the day. Men, old and decreplt, who
followed Lee and Jackson during the
sixties came by night and in the early
morning hours to pay respects to the
memory of the man whom they loved
most. At the bier they broke down
and shed bitter tears.
The public square near the railroad
station was draped in black. All bust
ness houses were closed and the en-
tire town suspended its daily activities
to do honor to the Sage OF McDut-
fee"
1t had been planned to hold the
funeral services and the interment
shortly after ? o'clock but there were
thousands who desired to look for the
last time on the face OF their leader
and the exercises were postponed uIl-
til later in the afternoon. At 3 o'clock
there was a line estimated at 1000
still waiting to review the remains
A Great Loss.
Senators in the official party here
were unanimous i'll their declaration
that Georgia the south and the nation
at large has lost one of the most bril-
liant men Of this era. They describ-
ed him as probably the best informed
man in the senate, and declared him
to. be most highly regarded and re-
spected by the members from every
section OF the country.
The death OF Senator Watson re-
moves from public life in Georgia one
of the most picturesque men ever
known to southern history; a man OF
great briIliancy and admitted ability
in many ways the most loved and the
most hated man within the common
wealth No man since the days OF
Stephens, Toombs and Ben Hill eXer-
cised a more profound influence in the
national councils Of the party.
