A NEW COTTON PLANT.

Attention is now attracted in the
South to q new cotton plant, which
bids fair to prove immensely valua-
BILE. For many years A. A. Sub-rs,
Of Macon. Ga, has been carefully
experimenting to hybri,lize the cot
ton plant that grows wild in Flor
ida with the common okra. The
new plant retains the okra stalk
and the foliage of the cotton. lis
flower and fruit, however, are
strikingly unlike either cotton or
okra. The plant has an average
height of two feet, and each plan,
has only one bloom. This is a
magnificent flower. very much like
the great magnolia in fragrance.
aud equally as large. Like the
cotton bloom, the flower il white
for several days after it opens, after
which it is first pale pink, and
gradually assumes darker shades OF
this color until it becomes red,
when it drops, disclosing a Won
derful boil. For about ten DAYS
this boil resembles the cotton boil
aud then it's growth suddenly in.
creases, as if by magic, until i,
reaches the size of big cocoanut
Not until it reaches this size does
the lint appear. Then it's snowy
threads begin to burst from the
boil. but are securely held in place
by the okra-like thorns or point,
that linz the boil. One inexperi
enced picker can easily gather 8O(
pounds day. and fast hands mucl
more. Were the only saving tha,
OF labor in gathering the lint, til.
result Of Mr.. Subsr's experiment
would entitle him to the eyerlast
ing gratitude of the Southern far
MGR; but this is not all-there ar,
no seeds in the lint. Each boil
produces about two pounds of yer,
long-stapled cotton, superior Il
the Sea Island, and at the bottom
of the boil there are from four I,
six seeds. resembling persimmol
seed. This new cotton, therefore
needs no ginning. Such a plan
would revolutio0ize the cotton III
dustry of the South.

LYNCUING OF JORDAN PAR
kER, THE TRAIN
WRECkER.

From the Meridian Mercury, De-
cember %:
Last Monday night. the 22d inst,
the cannon ball." the fast train
out of New Orleans. was wrecked
one mile north Of Pervis. on the
Northeastern Railroad killing En-
gineer Bob Turner aud Fireman
Pink Conway. The train was run
ming ut the rate of fifty miles an
hour, and when the engine struck
tho distractions it went all to
pieces, killing the engineer and
fireman instantly.
Suspicion pointed at once to
Jordan Parker, native, who had
been making threats 20 ditch a
train, because he claimed the COM
pany had swindlei his son out of
s. and killed n pig belonging to
him which it refused TO pay for.
Detective I. G Hewlett was sent
d,wE 10 work up the case. and
upon affidavit of W. =. Slimp, a
reputable gentleman of the county,
arrested Parker and his son last
Thursday night. The accused were
brought up to Poplarville Friday
and tried before Justice P. j. Har-
vsy. They tried to prove an alibi.
but foiled, and the circumstantial
evidence was SO strong against
them that the justice placed their
appearance bonds at $1,000 each.
which they were unable to give. and
| in default of which they were sent
to prison. Public Indignation
against them ran high, and there
were open threats of violence.
After the trial the boy confessed
that he and his father were guilty
rs charged, aud the confession was
immediately telegraphed to Meri-
dian. where great indignation pre-
vailed among railroad men. At
$3.50 o'clock special train left Me-
rldian. that night, with thirty-five
determined men. which reached
Poplaryille ut ABOUT 2 o'clock yes
terday morning. They surround
ed the Jail, overpowered the guard
and took the prisoners out and put
them aboard the train. which was
in waiting, and brought them up
to the gravel pits, about two miles
south Of Pervis. Here was enact
ed II tragic scene.
The boy. who had already made
a confession. was taken by the mob
into the presence OF his father. and
he charged b m that lie Was guilty.
aud besousht him not to die with
u lie upon his lips. The old man,
with n tromor upon his faltering
lips, admitted that he was guilty.
The scene was full of moving and
pathetic incidents. amid which the
old man kissed his son aud bid
him goodbye. They were thel
separated, and the old man wa,
subjected to all sorts OF horribl.
tortures. His feet aud bands wer.
placed in the hot stove by turns
autiI they were burned to a crisp
after which he was taken out and
tied to tree. with bell cord. ant
shot to death. "A placard was thel
tied upon bis back, bearing this in
scription: "Lynched for wreckini

One Of the simplest and readiest
methods of loosening rusted screw
is to apply heat to the head of the
screw. A small bar or rod of iron,

will, a small amount Of capital and
a fair supply Of industry and perse-
vsrance, cannot possibly do better
than locate in our parish. The CHI
mate is rs fine rs any in the world.
The winters are generally mild, and
snow rarely falls. Spring opens
early in February, with blossom
ON the peach and ounce trees, and
vegetation comes rapidly forward.
The heat of summer is moderate,
and the unfailing breezes OF the
evening refresh man and beast after
the labors of the day.
THE SOIL
is very productive, and admirably
adapted for raising sugar cane, cot
ton, oats, corn, rice, peanuts, etc.
The vine is indigenous, and yearly
bears large harvests Of delicious
fruit. Oranges. pears, peach, plums,
ounces, figs and pecans thrive well.
CATTLE AND SHEEP

and stock lands can be purchased Mt
rates varying from 81 to IS per
acre. and Government lands to
actual settlers
WATER POWER.
There is an abundance, of water
power, already improved, inviting
the attention of manufacturers. We
have no doubt a small factory, snch
as already abound in Alabama and
Georgia, for the purpose OF con-
verting our cotton crop into yarn,
would prove paying investment.
FIRE CLAY
is found in abundance. as well as
clays suitable for pot cry ware OF
the very finest texture, purely white,
and free FROM sand or grit. Per-
sons having practical knowledge
of such business would soon realize
a fortune in manufacturing and
shipping such wares to the New
Orleans market.
! MANUFACTURE OF GLASS.
Sand suitable for the manufacture
Of glass is also abundant all along
the banks of the Bogue Falia, above
the town of Covington. 1t has been
practically tested by Pi;tsburg
manufacturers, and found to con-
tain all the necessary properties to
produce the finest glassware.
CONVICTION,
the county site, contains about
eight hundred inhabitants, and is
the best business point in the par
ish, commanding much of the trade
of both st. Tammary and Washing
ton parishes. The mail from New
