DISCOVERY BY A SOUTHERN PLANTER
WHICH WILL KEvOLuTIoNIZE TIE
CULTIVATION oFTHIs STAPLE.
"A New York Herald special Charles
town, 5. C., Nov. 4, says:
A South Carolina farmer, Mr.. The
OdOrc Ferguson OF Sparianburg, has
anadc a discovery that will have an cf-
feet upon the agricultural interest Of
the south that non can yet torctcll
lie has produced Il plant that yields
without a sign oflint. His process has
been tested aud has been found salts.
factory. 1t has been manipulated by
5he dcriorati0n of the amount Of lint,
10 the multiplication Of the seed. This
has been accomplished by the gradual,
careful and critical breeding of the
plant. The results obtained by Mr..
Ferguson have been through scicntif-
ic breeding. There are malc.anl te-
male cotton plants, the male being de-
signatcd, he ,hiuks, by the red stalks.
MIR. Ferguson began some time ago
20 pick out the male plauis and with
the seed extracted from them, planted
another patch separately. When this
crop was ready for picking the mae
Plant were again selected and their
production OF seed planted separately
again. This process of selecting male
pants was kept up until at last the
lint refused to terminate and nothing
is left in the boil save a large amount
of seeds. The amount OF seed contain
ed in the boil is more than equal to
the weight OF the lint and the seed
found in the average size boil of cotton.
Mr., Ferguson believes he can pro-
ducc 400 bushels of seed to The acre BY
this new discovery where only thirty.
five bushels arc now gathered with the
lint, lie has been very careful in pro-
ducing the results given above, to OBJ
l%itcratc all vcsligcs of lint from a boil
of cotton and has succeeded in a most
remarkable manner.
The boil or pod OF this new plant
has the appearance, both on the cXte-
rior and in the interior, Of n regular
boil of cotton after the lint has been
picked ont. The seed is a little larger
!iiah the common cotton seed and is
perfectly free from any scmblancc OF
lint.-Thc bOllS are filed with this seed
which is as numerous rs okra seed in
n pod of okra. II is also a valuable
point in this discovery that the bolls
grow in a..grcatcr profusion than usual
on cotton.
The hull of the seed contains n full
amount OF substance cxactly.similar to
that found in cotton seed now used in

THE OPIUM HABIT.
A Vice That Changes Decent Persons Into

A Vice That Changes Decent Persons Into
Liars and Thieves.
sit may surprise some people," said
a leading druggist to me to-day, ito
know that it is the practice of re-
spectacle druggists to sell laudanum
and morphine to people whom they
know to be confirmed opium-eaters.
But there r two good reasons for
doing so. One is that it would be i'm
possible to keep them from obtaining
these drugs, in some way or other.
Another is that if we were able to
shut off their supply, and should
do so, it would inevitably kill
them. So that every druggist
has a few customers who, he
knows, are killing themselves with
opium, and with the very opium he is
selling them, and yet he continues to
sell it to them. He never knows that
they r opium-eaters from their own
admissions, however. These poor
creatures are very sensitive about their
vice. and confess it. They
always make some shallow and absurd
excuse for buying so much opium.
which never deceives any one. But
ven after they find out that we know
that they are opium-eaters, they never
concede it in any was. One
way that they betray themselves
is by l9lng and stealing. For it is a
singular thing that, just as insanity
is always accompanied by lewdness. so
the opium habit is invariably accom-,
panied by lying and stealing. We
have to wait on these poor people, and
we treat them kindly. but we keep a
very close watch on them, and never
let them get out of sight for if we do
we are sure to miss some small article
when they n gone. I can't say that
opium-eaters are becoming any more
numerous in Chicago, but the reason
may be that other similar vices are to
some extent taking the place of the
opium habit. Chicago journal.
