near neighbors, and-which does not

They were poor, and suspect that fact

for opportunities were always turning
up for helping one another; and have
often noticed that when near ncighbors

help, there is very seldom any friend
ship between them; there is more apt
70 be Jealousy and competition.
Our parents being such good friends;
followed their example. We went to
school together, read together. played
together, and. somehow, when Mollie
wss eighteen and ] was twenty we
agreed to travel together all our lives,

A Nav CoTTuN.--Major Tom BY
nun called at the Democrat Office
yesterday and exhibited sample of
the new worm proof cotton, which so
far has resisted the attacks of insects
of all kinds. The history Of this
cotton is peculiar. In 1867 negro
who had been employed on one OF
the gunboats in The river brought
ashore some cotton seed which he
said he got on some Island in the Gulf
of Mexico. He said that worms
would not eat il nor rest near it.
Major Byaum says he and his
neighbors bavc been experimenting
with it for eight years, and though
they have placed hundreds Of worms
upon it, they would leave ii hurried
". One row has been planted in
field and all the rest was destroyed
and this left untouched. 1t is SINH,
lar in formation, growth, stalk, plant,
leaf and boil to ordinary cotton, and
the most careful expert cannot tell
the difference between it and other
varieties. Major Bynum is of the
opinion that it came from one of the
islands in The Caribbean sea.
1t swill become most valuable, for
crops will then be amenable only to
variations of the weather. Those
interested are invited TO the Demo,
crat office to inspect the sample

-CoTroN picking is to be reyolu-
tionized. The cotton stalks are TO
be pulled up by the roots, when the
bells are all about open. in October
and November, and hauled to the
picking house, where machinery is
to do the work. First, the limbs will
be clipped from the stalk, and then
the bolls, from the limbs. A "hull
separator" then takes the cotton
from Tie bolls, and the cotton is
ready for the gin. The bulls or bolls
are TO be used 10 make paper, and
the bark of lrmbs, stalks and roots
to make bagging. So, nothing is 10
be lost. Machinery for these pur-
poses is being constructed, it is said,
