these new garments, it is true, Is due
to the wonderful beauty of the mate
rial used In their construction. These
fabrics are lovely in the extreme, and
the handsomest, and also the most
fashionable, show the old, yet ever
new, bouole effect.
Fough-surfaced woolens, which early
in the season seemed 10 drop behind,
have been restored to all their old-time
popularity, and are to be seen on every
hand in the prettiest and most ex-
quisite color combinations imaginable.
The materials used in the new
gowns, whether of wool or silk, all
show The rich warm tints of autumn
foliage; out those high in authority

crop was small, but it more than full
filed his anticipations. He carefully
treasured the seed from the crop, and
last year planted it on the west hills of
his plantations. AS every one familiar
with cotton culture knows, this part
of the land is the poorest in the world
for raising the staple, and unless it is
very heavily fertilized an attempt to
raise anything there is time and money
uselessly expended. But Jackson
wanted t. give it the severest possible
test, so he planted the crop on the west
hills Of his lands and did not add a
pound of fertilizer to enrich the earth.
The result was marvellous. Some of the
stalks grew to seven feet, and the ay-
eTage height of all of them was very
close to that figure. The number of
bolls on the stalks were in proportion
TO the other stupendous measurements
AS high as 20 bolls to a single stalk
were counted. On the ordinary cotton
stalk four bolls is considered a good
yield. The product of the African seed
is equal to the best grade of the staple
known. Jackson has been offered ten
cents pound for his entire crop of the
new cotton, but he is holding it for a
rise. One of the peculiarities of this
cotton is the fact that the stalks are
leafiess. When the stalk grows up
leaves begin to sprout on it, and after
they have grown out for some. distance
the fruit comes out from the stem of
the leaf. After the fruit has partially
matured the leaves drop off, leaving
the stalk perfectly barren except the
boils and bursting fruit.
The news of Jacl1son's find soon be-
came nolsed about, and letters asking
what price the seed could be purchased
for began to pour in. The New Orleans
cotton exchange wired jackson that
they would take his entire lot of seed |
at his own price. He sent them sam !
pie stalk and fixed his price at $500 |
per bushel. He has about 90 bushels, |
Snd the South Georgia farmers went |
the New Orleans exchange one better |
and offered $4,000 for the entire lot. |
They claim that unless IL is destroyed |
cotton will soon become a drug

of overproduction they will not be
able to make living. Jackson does
not feel inclined to sell the seed to be
destroyed. He argues that If the farm
ers will plant it they will be able to
raise larger crops on less ground
A comparative table showing the re.
suits of the two kinds of cotton seeds
would be startling in the extreme, says
the New York Journal. Where the
planter now counts himself in luck
If he gets bale of cotton from every
two acres, with the new plants he will
get at least two bales to the acre, and

INTENSE COTTON CROP.
Secured from Seed Brought from
Africa two Years Ago.
South Georgia Planters Seek to Exter-
inmate Marvellous Plant That Is
Said to Grow fully Twrcty
Feet r-l.

If an imaginative novelist, in writing
o romance of unknown Africa, should
year ago have Incorporated in his
story the statement that cotton grew
there to a height of 20 feet and that
there was from four to six pounds of
the fleecy staple to each stalk, the en-
tire south would have risen up and
called him the romanCer of the age
but now they are quite willing to accept
almost any cotton story that can be
told. And thereby hangs tale.
~ cotton planter by the name Of
Jackson, living just outside of Atlanta,
Ca, was introduced to an African eX-
plorer a little over two years ago. The
returned traveller told him of the enor-
nous height TO which cotton grew in
Central Africa 1t reached as high as
20 feet, and the stalks were peculiar in
that they were bare of leaves when the
matured cotton wasready for gathering.
1t differed from the ordinary cotton
plant also in the fact that it did not re-
quire as good land as it's civilized pro-
totype, but would grow in the most
barren regions and give an enormous
crop. Before parting he gave Jackson
some seeds Of the African product
which he had brought with him.
That was two years ago. \ few weeks
ago a committee representing the
planters of South Georgia called on
Jackson prepared to offer him $4,000
for the 20 bushels of seed of the new
cotton which he has as the result of the
seasons crop. And the peculiar part of
the story is that they did not want the
seed for planting purposes, but if the
purchase could be consummated they
intended burning every seed.
What elapsed in the course of the two
years does not seem remarkable; it is
the beginning and the result that Is
startling. Jackson believed the travel
er's tale and planted the seed. The first
