Consumption is a germ disease, but the
germs cannot exist in rich pure blood.
Therefore it has been called a blood

and weak lungs are an invitation to con-
sumption germs. Therefore consumption

JACKSON COTTON SOLD.
New York Syndicate Purchases Two
Thirds of It.

Atlanta, Oct. ga two-thirds share
in the famous Jackson limbless cotton,
which has caused so much excitement
and talk in the agricultural world, has
been bought by New York syndicate
through Mr.. F. w. Beardsley, of New
York, who has recently been in Allan
ia.
The share in the cotton is understood
to be two-thirds, though the price paid
is known only to those interested in
the deal. 1t is understood that Mr..
Beardsley was acting with the Gillian
government, which is anxious to Sc
cure this cotton.
NIessrs. T. J. Eady and J. E. Harri-
son, both of this city, who own a third
share in the cotton, refused to sell to
the syndicate and still retain a part
ownership. 1t is understood that they
We're offered $4,000 for their share of
One-third, but declined the offer
Taking this offer as a basis for the
value of the cotton, it seems very like
ly that Mr. Beardsley paid an enor-
nous sum for the portion of the cotton
he bought, and the owners evidently
made good thing of it.
