Florida Times Union: Attention
is now attracted in the South to a
new cotton plant, which bids fair
to prove immensely valuable. For
many years A. A. Subers, Of Macon,
Ga, has been carefully experiment.
ing to hybridize the cotton plant
that grows wild in Florida with the
common okra.
The new plant retains the okra
stalk and the foliage of the cotton.
Its flower and fruit, however, are
strikipgly unlike either cotton or
okra. The plant has an average
height of two feet, and each plant
has only one bloom. This is mag
holia ia fragrance, and equally AS
large. Like the cotton bloom the
flower is white fr several days
after it opens, and gradually as
sumrs darker shades Of this color
unljl IL becomes red, when 1t drops,
disclosing a wonderful boil. For
about ten days this boil resembles

ssThe Worlds Wonders.

As seen by the Great Tropical and
Polar Explorers" is the title of
a new and valuable book just pub
lished by the Historical Publishing
Co. Its object is to "place within
the reach of all, in one elegant, fine
ly illustrated volume, all the achieve
ments, discoveries, travels, and ad-
ventures of the great explorers; a
history of marvellous things on
the earth; of strange countries and
and races of people; of curious ami
mails, birds and reptiles; and the
worlds grcst natural phenomena and
curiosities." 1t possesses additional
interest in an official history of the
late Greely Expedition in search Of
the North Pole, and is no doubt ?.
book of standard merit and great
interest. The publishers claim that
it is a complete encyclopedia of ex-
ploration, discovery and adventure
in all parts of the world, and as such
it must possess very great interest
for all classes of readers. See ad-
vertisement elsewhere.

THE Legislature Of Arkansas met
last Monday. The Little Rock dai-
lies containing reports of the organ
ization, for some cause or other, fail
cd to reach us. From a subsequent
issue of the Democrat we gather the
fact that Senator Weaver was elect
ed President of the Senate, and Rep
rosentative J. p. Eagle, Speaker of
the House. The election of a sue
cessor to u. S. Senator Walker will
take place Tuesday or "Wednesday,
January Goth. or 2Ist., and should
Senator Garland be called to cabi-
net position by President Cleveland,
then the close OF the session will be
made to howl over the contest for his
successor.

the cotton boil, and then its growth
suddenly increases 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 securely held III
the place by the okralike thorns or
points that line the boil. One in
picker can easily gather
800 pounds a day, and fast hands
much more. Were the only saving
that Of labor in gathering the lint
the result Of MIR. Suber's expert
ment would entitle him to the ever
lasting gratitude of the Southern
farmer. But this is not all--there
are no seed in the lint. Each boil
produces about two pounds of long
staple cotton, superior to the Sea
Island, and at the bottom of the
boil are from four to six seed. This
new cotton therefore needs no gin
ming. Such plant would revolu-
tionize the cotton industry of the
South.

"The grandest ball room ever
