ITS A BIG HUMBOG
The Idlelj Advertised “Limbless” Col
ton Is Mo Good.
GEORGIA EXPERIMENT STATION TRIESIT
When Tried With Other Well Known
Verities, Nine out Strip the Limb
less—A Fake Exploded.
From time to time for about a year
, there have appeared in certain pub
lic prints most sensational and flatter
ing articles descriptive of an alleged
new kind of cotton called ‘‘limbless”
in the articles and credited with
most wonderful achievements. It
was claimed that the stalks grew to
be from 10 to 14 feet high, without
limbs, but from the stalks sprang
great numbers of bolls wnich bore
the finest cottom staple in the world,
long, silky and strong, perfectly
white and having a satan-liks touch.
It was further alleged that the new
variety was the most prolific in the
world, producing from four to six
bales of lint to the acre with no more
than the ordinary fertilization and
the average cultivation. East spring
it was announced in some of these ar
ticles that the Georgia experiment
station had secured seed for an ex
perimental patch of four acres, and
that tue director expected to harvest
twenty bales from the four acres.
Coupled with all the fu some laudation
of the wonderful limbless cotton was a
statement of the prices at which seed
could be had; and therein may the milk
in the coaconut be accounted for. Nat
urally the cotton planters would greatly
desire seed that would give such wonder
ful results, so the price was run up until
it reached the sum of SI,BOO per bushell
Later, however, the price dropped to
$209 per bushel.
It is a fact that the Georgia experi
ment station did secure some of the
seeds, of unquestioned purity, and plant
ed four acres with them. The harvest
has now progressed far enough for the
director to judge of the merits of the
“limbless'’ cotton. In a bulletin just
issued from the station the director
makes it plain that those farmers who
have been paying fancy prices for the
seed under the supposition that they
were getting something extraordinary,
have simply been buncoed. The ‘‘limb
less” cotton was put into competition at
the experimental station with twenty
other varieties, all under similar condi
tions and all highly fertilized and care
fully cultivated, and in the matter of
yield, the “limbless” wonder stands
tenth!
There are at least nine other old and
well-known varieties which are more ■
prolific and produce a staple in every
particular as good as that of the al
leged magical variety. The director,
furthermore, recognized the so-called
new variety as an old variety known
in Georgia ten years or more ago as
“Welborn’s Pet,” which never
amounted to much. So far from this
wonderful cotton producing four to
six bales to the acre, as was claimed
for it, the experiment station says the
person who plants it will be Incky if
he gets more than one bale from it.
after fertilizing it very highly and
giving it the most careful,cultivation.
Furthermore, it is not even limbless,
but ordinarily grows five to six long
branches, beginning at the ground.
So far from the seed being worth even
S2OO per bushel, Director Redding
says that seed which will grow iden
tically the same variety can be had
for probably less than $2 per bushel.
It is to be hoped that fcvery few Geor
gia farmers have bitten at the glitter
ing bait.

correspondents, prompted an inquiry as
to the cause for such amount being in
trusted to the postal service, and, when
approached on the subject, a prominent
official of one of the leading express com
panies stated yesterday that the last year
had witnessed a radical change in the
transportation of money, which formerly
had all been forwarded by express, but
were now being sent in many instances by
mail, the aggregate postage and registry
fees presenting a difference as compared
witn the express rates that tempted
manv to depart from the old method and
adopt the new.
The official added further stated
that the frequent train robberies had
compelled the express companies to
go to great expense in equipping
their through cars with stationary com
bination safes, which, as recent “hold
ups” had proven, afford security
against any attempts on the part of
road agents To get at the contents,
but that even should they succeed, in
the majority of cases little would not
be obtained for their pains on account
of the moneys from express to the
mails, and that it would not be un
natural to expect that “Uncle Sam.”
would soon have his hands full look
ing after the protection of the value
able parcels in his care, as trains rob
bers will of course go where the mon
ey is and it is now in the mail instead
of the express car.
Inquiry as to what steps the express
companies would take to regain the
traffic elicited the reply that they
had expended all the revenue from
this source in the past in surrounding
the money with every possible pro
tection and running down and pun
ishing thieves, and that they would
simply wait until such losses as the
one referred to and the attention of
the train robbers to this new channel
for transporting moneys proved it to
be neither a successful nor profitable
experiment.

Luetgert Case Will Probably Come Up
Wednesday—Attorney Dineen Talks.
Chicago, Oct. 25. —There is a possi
bility that the second trial of Adolph L.
Luetgert, the alleged wife murderer,
will begiu this week. State’s Attorney
Dineen said that unless the defense asked
for a continuauce and still persisted in
their demaud for the release of the pris
oner on bail, he would put the case on
trial Wednesday. The state’s attorney
does not know what judgs will be s<«
lected to hear the second trial. JudgJ
Horton has been suggested and the oast
may come up before him.
“The second trial will not be as long
as the recent trial,” said State Attor
ney Dineen. “We know the difference
now, and are also bettor prepared with
our own evidence, and there is much of
it that was submitted during the trial
just ended that will be omitted in the
new trial
“We have considerable important
new evidence which we will introdnce.
But now that we know the situation
thoroughly the progress of the new trial
will be more rapid, but none the less in
teresting than the first trial. We shall
not consent to bail, and if the defense
will not ask for a continuance the trial
will proceed as indicated.
State’s Attorney Dineen will insist
that something b, done in the .Luet
gert case this week. He does not in
tend to permit tne defense to spring
upon him the technical assertion that
Luetgert has been in jail four terms of
court without a trial and is therefore
entitled to discharge. With the gelose
of the. present week four full terms of
the criminal court shall have elapsed
since Luetgert was indicted.
As the case now stands the same as ii
no trial was ever had, the prosecution
fears the defense may next week urge
that Luetgert has been in jail four full
terms of court without trial and will
ask for his release upon this technical
construction of the law.

DIVISION OF ALASKA.
PLANNING A NEW TERRITORY TO BE
CALLED LINCOLN.
"The Town of Wears Haa Been Chosen
For the Capital—The Rich Placer Mines
of the Yukon May lie In the New Ter
ritory.
It is proposed to establish a new ter
ritory in Alaska, to be known as Lin
coln, out of the northwestern portion.
Its boundaries have not yet been fully
decided upon, but it will include the
Yukon river country and extend north
to the Arctic ocean. The scheme meets
with the approval of the North Ameri
can Transportation and Trading com
pany, the officers of which recently held
a confereuoe on the matter with Senator
Carter of Montana and several other
United States officials.
The town of Weare, on the Yukon,
about half way between Dawson City
and St. Michael’s, has been chosen for
the capital of the proposed territory.
Should the proposed territory of Lin
coln be created by the division of Alas
ka, it will have as its southeastern
boundary Mount St Elias. From that
point the eastern boundary will run di
rectly to the Arctic, which ocean will
form the northern boundary. The west
ern boundary will probably run down
the coast line below St. Michael’s to
the top of the divide between the Yu
kon aud continue to Kokyn river. The
boundary on the south will follow the
sixty-second parallel east, to the Copper
river, where it will cut down to St
Elias.
Should the division occur and the
boundary lines mentioned prevail, Alas
ka proper would then include the Aleu
tian islands, the coaling stations of
Dutch Harbor and Unalasfia and the
balance of the Alaskan peninsula, the
island of Unga and its quartz mines,
Kodiak island, Kauai peninsula and the
placer mines of Cook inlet, Prince Wil
liam sound and the placer mines along
the Copper river, the towns of Wrangell,
Sitka, Juneau, Dyea, Skagguay and the
passes on the overland route to the Yu
kon.
Within the new territory would be
the rich placers of the Yukon as far as
the boundary line. It would also in
clude the numerous settlements and
trading posts from St. Michael’s to Cir
cle City, containing a population at
present of over 3,000 whites and 8,000
natives.
In view of the reports of the expected
founding of a new city in Alaska, to be
known as Weare, on the Yukon river,
between the boundary line of British
Columbia and St. Michael’s, with the
design of making it the capital of the
proposed new territory, it may be possi
ble that the interior department may
deem it necessary to locate the new
laud office there instead of at Circle
City, where it was originally contem
plated. Official reports have reached
Washington that Circle City, until late
ly practically the only settlement on the
Yukon river, has been practically aban
doned.—San Francisco Call.

THE CRISP MONUMENT.
A Simple Shaft Marks the Last Renting
Place of the Late Speaker.
A simple and not expensive shaft
marks the grave of the late Charles F.
Crisp, who was one of the leading
statesmen of the new south. The mon
ument is the first one erected to the
memory of the ex-speaker and stands in
the family plot in the Oak Grove ceme
tery at Americus, Ga., of which city
Mr. Crisp was an honored citizen for
nearly a score of years.
It was not erected, however, by the
public—perhaps it is too soon for such
a movement to lie started—but by the
Crisp family. The shaft is of Italian
marble, artistically but not elaborately
carved. One of the panels bears the in
scription, “Husband and Father;” on
another are the words, “Charles Freder-

THE CRISP MONUMENT,
ick Crisp, born in Sheffield, England,
Jan. 29, 1845; died in Atlanta Oct. 23,
1896. ” On the north side is inscribed the
following, “Speaker of the house of rep
resentatives of the United States, Fifty
second and Fifty-third congresses. ”
Although the erection of the mon
ument was purely a private affair and
the ceremony of placing the stone in po
sition was conducted without any form
al exercises, yet hundreds of people
were on hand and watched the unveil
ing of the stone with uncovered heads,
which was a striking tribute to the per
sonal popularity of the ex-speaker. Mr.
Crisp was not only a political leader,
but he was a man of whose mental su
periority, sound judgment and other
good qualities the people of Georgia
were proud, and although this is the
first monument to his memory it may
not be the only one.
