Contagious
Blood Poison.

Mr.. Frank B. Martin, who is engaged
In the jewe1ry business at 926 Penn
sylvania Avenue, Washington City,
where he is we'll and favorably known,
was victim of that worst form of dis
ease-contagious blood poison He
realized that his life was about to be
blasted, for this terrible disease has
baf1ed the skill of the physicians for
ages, and they have never yet been
able to effect a cure. His mental
despair can better be imagined than
described
In a recent letter he says: "About
four years ago contracted severe
case of contagious blood poison, and
it was not long before was in a terri
BILE condition. I Immediately placed
myself under treatment of two of the
best physicians in Washington city.
Their treatment, which / took faith

hundred dollars, and left me worse than

I followed him, and soon we were behind

agreed that the Jacksons should take the
cotton and see what it would do in this
country. From this seed tifty-seyen
stalks only were raised, but some Of them
were wonders Mr.. Jackson sent three
stalks 20 the Atlanta exposition, where
they appeared in the exhibit OF the Plant
Railway System. One stalk was seven
feet high, another nine and another
fourteen, and there were 1913 hollis on
this one. The results were so Satisfac-
tory that MIR. Jackson concluded 20 send
Keil back to Africa for several bushels
Of seed He was gone four months, and
when he returned reported that he found
the whole region where he had secured
the cotton devasted by forest fire, and
there were no traces left OF either cotton
or villagers.
So taking the seed produced by his
fjfty-seven stalks, Mr. Jackson selected
the soundest and best and planted the
patch here under discussion.
What will be the future of the cotton
is yet problematical. 1t is true that re-
sponsihle-lookimg man was in Atlanta,
representing himself to be the agent of
a crowd of South Georgia farmers who
were ready to pay $4,000 for the seed
to destroy them; but he didn't succeed
ia reaching Mr.. Jackson.
Mr. Jackson may sell out his holding
in bulk or he may sell in small lots to
Individuals but his friends are urging
him to replant his entire lot of seed so
that a more thorough experiment may be
made and a more convincing demontra-
ton be given of the merits of n cotton
which it is believed contains the possi-
biIities of n boon to the South of meal
culable value.
