THE COTTOx MILLENIUM.

Il lost a large amount of money
in 1866, the year succeeding the sur
render, in my farming operations,
and despaired, almost, Of the
future of the cotton section; in the
many sleepless nights i passed
thinking over my affairs, and what
the future had in store for myself
and neighbors, whose dependence
for existence rested solely upon ag-
ricultural productions of which the |
culture of cotton is the mainstay, |
in fact Of the cotton States, the |
foundation upon which was built |
all they enjoyed of prosperity in
manufacturing, in banking, in mer-
chandising, in all that went to
make up the sum of their varied
industries and interests threaten.
ed as thess interests seemed to be,
about to suffer extinction by sys-
tenn of labor that made the cost of
production of the cotton crop
greater than the value of the arti-
Gle produced. BY inspiration, for
it could be nothing else, ii occur
red to me that could the annual
killing Of the plant by frost be
prevented, the plant might become
a tree-a fruitful, ever.bearing
tree.
Success has exceeded my most
sanguine expectations, my widest
dreams. In the spring of 1867 l
selected spot of ground, about
forty feet square, planted in the
center a cotton seed, tended it
carefully; in September / built
about it pen some eight feet
square and covered it with glass,
kept a thermometer In ii, and by
the aid of a small stove kept life
and growth in the plant until May
of 1868, at which time / removed
the pen. During the summer Of
1868 my plant grew until it became
o small tree. In the fall of that
year picked 800 pounds Of seed
cotton from II, and built pen or
the same plan, but larger than the
first, followed the same process
through the winter, and again re
moved my pen in the spring o.
1869. That year l picked from
what was then tree, cotton tha'
made q bale Of 476 pounds. TIL,

A Good Word for the Swamp.

To the Brandon Republican,
have thought II might be useful
and instructive to your readers to
give some items ofgeneral impress
sions left on my mind during two
summers spent in the swamp coun-
try. In what | may say, 1t is pos
sible | have only seen one side or
witnessed one phase Of swamp
life, and that the most favorable
and hattering. have conversed
and mingled with oil sorts of peo-
pie and have learned much from
conversation and observation.
The first, and to many the most i'm
portant question, is that of health.
There is a great and general mis-
apprehension by those living out
of the swamp on this topic. An
opinion prevails that this country
is unfavOrable and fatal to the
white laborers, and no argument,
statemnnts or testimonials, how.
ever true or reliable, can remove
this impression formed merely
from vague and exceptional cases
of sickness. The swamp has
never had justice done 1t on this
head. Ifa person goes there and
