Apecryphal Story from lcorgia.

Attention is now attracted to a new
Bort OF cotton plant which bids fair to
prove immensely valuable. For many
years Mr.. A. A. Subers, of Macon, has
been carefully experimenting to hybrid
ize the cotton plant that grows wild in
Florida. with the common okra. The
cotton plant used is of that species
which Is found ON the lowlands of the
Caloosahatchie River. The new plant
retains the okra stalk and the foliage of
the cotton. Its flower and fruit, how
ever, is strikingly unlike either cotton or
okra. The plant has an average height
of two feet, and each plant has only one
bloom. This is a magnificent flower,
very much like the great magnolia in
fragrance and equally as large. Like
the cotton bloom, the flower is white for
several days after it opens, after which
it is first pale pink, and gradually as
sumes darker shades of this color until
it becomes red, when it drops, disclos-
ing wonderful boil. For about ten
days this boil resembles the cotton boil,
and then its growth suddenly increases
as If by magic until it finally reaches
the size of a big cocoanut. Not until it
reaches this size does the lint appear.
Then its snowy threads begin to burst
from the boil, but are held securely in
place by the okra-like thorns or points
that line the boil.
One inexerienced picker can easily
gather 300 pounds day, and fast hands
much more. Were the only saving of
labor in gathering the lint, the result of
Mr.. Suber's experiment would entitle
him to the lasting gratitude of the
Southern farmer. But this is not all
there are no seeds in the lint. Each
boil produces about two pounds of very
fine long staple cotton, superior to the

there are from four to six seeds, re-
sembling persimmon seed. This new
cotton, therefore, needs no ginning

Imagine curiously shaped boat, par
TALLY covered in, high in the stern and
low at the bow, suggesting to a nervous
mind treacherous purpose of diving
beneath the first treacherous wave.
There Is a very heavy lateen sail held up
by rotten ropes, which occasionally
startle the crew and passengers by
breaking and letting their whole burden
crash down supon deck. The water
leaks in at every point Unfortunately,
requiring four men to bail night and
day. There are eighty passengers,
where, according to Western notions,
thirty would be q superabundant cargo.
From stem to stern there rises combi-
nation of abominable smells truly sicken-
ing; the rotten wood of the dhow, the
accumulated grease and filth of years,
the bilge-water, and the effiuvia from
the perspiring skins of the crowded
negroes-all contribute to an effect
which words cannot describe. Such
were the horrors which awaited me as the
dhow left Mikindany behind. When at
last my usual attack of seasickness laid
me low, really felt that that otherwise
unwelcome sensation might sometimes
be reckoned boon and blessing. The
worst, however, was yet to come. As
night set in I crept with some difficulty
into my camp bedstead, which we had
contrived to stow under sort of after
deck Cthere was only about eight inches
between my nose and the flooring over
head). had just begun to dose off,
when an uneasy consciousness of strange
sensations dawned upon me. Soon I
was made only 100 painfully certain Of
the presence OF s0me of the most objec-
tionable companions of man in all lands.
One well-known species swarmed over
me with pertinacious purpose; another
kind, of more lively nature, in their
excitement at the discovery of thin
skinned subject-a decided variety from
the leathery niger integument-skipped
about with playful glee, prospecting
here and there as the humor suggested;
then, to crown the whole, before 1 left
that wretched bunk, a creeping sensa-
ton set in about the roots of my hair,
which at first made me imagine it was
about to stand on end with horror of my
situation, but which, alas! turned out
to be a still more real aggravation of my
tortures.-Good WOr0s.
