November Fl, 1884:
Can't. J. A. Peterkin, Fort Motto, s. c.:
Dea, Siv-You ask me to give you my
experience with your improved cotton seed'
and as have no interest in the matter ex.
cept the good Of the farmers. l Will give you
nv experiences. I planted acres Of your
seed this year and the cotton grew OF rap
idly. stood the dry weather we'll ana kept
green and bearing long after other cotton
near it had dried up and ceased producing.
7 pinned out three bales, and 1000 pounds OF
seed cotton made 400 pounds Of lint. or AZ
ner cent lint, while it took 1850 POUNDS OF
other cotton ginned same day on same GIN
to make 400 pounds lint. I know OF many
other parties who also had turn out OF az AZ
and even AZ per cent, while the Ozief seeo
only made 80 to SO per cont.
As a merchant, i shipped to Charles!on
and without my factor knowing II, they al!
sold for the top of tho market. and most o.
them X cent over the market, as the staple
| ia very fine and beautiful. Its virtues are
that il grows we'll. stands drouth, pears
heavily. and makes beautiful lint WhlcI
sells for top of the market. consider II

ment Of tho Peterkin Plantation ut this
place during tho year 1854, which was
planted in tho Peterkin Prolific Cotton.
commenced planting on the first of May.
and finished on the 10Th ofthe same month.
Tho crop had the usual culture on the share
system. 1 have seen all the varieties of
cotton grown in the country, and consider
tho Peterkin Prolific far superior to all of
them. 1t fruits more rapidly, stands more
hot dry weather than other cotton, does
not rust. The crop here had no rain after
3D. of July. Continued to grow during the
long drouth, remained green, long after
other crops of the country wore burnt up
and matured nearly or quite to the top.
Pickers claim they can pick one-third
more of the Peterlsin than any other cotton
grown. 1 believe there is more money in
it than in any other cotton grown. There
has only been n small portion of tho crop
ginned which has been weighed by Mr.. j..
T. Henegan, who had charge of the gin.
Same averaged al 45-100 lbs lint cotton to a
hundred pounds seed cotton.

A story comes from Philadelphia
which should be needed by people
who may have calls made upon their
purseaiby relatives living alta distance
10 this case i certain dentist was asked
to assist Z relation-au old lady living
In aeorgia-who asserted that she was
In destlnate circumstances. Similar
letters asking aid were resolved by
other relatives In the East. It appears
that the dentist was the only one who
responded, and this he did In . most
liberal manner. A short time ago the
old lady sent word to him that she
was dying and begged him to come to
her. To the dentist's surprise when
he reached the old lady's home he dis
covered that she was wealthy, and
