BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

is the supposition, but would
you as a presiding judge in a
case of this sort feel that you were
justified in accepting wings as estab-

The judges daughter paused and
looked at the judge inquiringly.
The judge pulled his cigar with I'M
necessary energy and looked at his

''Isn't that the only question at

nodded.

THE SCHOOL TAX.
It's Collection Overruled by
the Chancellor---New
Election.

About twenty tax payers of
Bolivar filed bill of injunction in
the Chanoery Court to prohibit the
collection of the special school tax
recently levied by the Mayor and
Aldermen of Bolivar on the tax
payers of said town, The Ohancel-
lor enjoined the collection of the
tax. The Mayor and Aldermen de-
injured to the bill. After hearing
the case the Chancellor overruled
the demurrer, thereupon the Mayor
and Aldermen declined to file any
answer to the merits of the bill, and
the Chancellor then made the in
junction perpetual; hence the levy
of the tax is null and void.
We understand that the corporate
authorities of Bolivar will order a
new election.

a New Variety of Cotton.

We reproduce the following ar
ticle from the Atlanta Constitution:
The famous Jackson limbless cot
ton has assumed a national import
ance. Yesterda5 the United States
Secretary of Agriculture telegraphed
to Weather and Crop Official Mar
bury, at this place, to go out to the
Jacl son'farm and make a thorough
and exhaustive examination of the
plant, an then report to the gov
erment official at Washington.
Mr.. Marbury at once went out to
the farm near the barr acks, where
the wonderful cotton is growing,
and through the kindness of Mr..
Jackson was enabled to go through
the six acres of magnificent cotton.
He spent quite a while at the place
and looked over all the field. After
making his examination he was al
lowed to bring some of the cotton
to town with him to include with his
report.
Mr.. Marbury was enthusiastic
over the limbless cotton. He said
that il was the finest crop of cotton
he had ever seen. He said that
some of the cotton was SO tall that
it could hardly be reached with an
umbrella. The plant is thickly
studded all the way up with large
bolls, and the lowest estimate is
that the six. acres will, yield four
bales to the acre.
The weather official will make a
very full report on the condition
and the prospects of the cotton,
and will enter into its probable COM
mercial value. He will give as full
and complete a report on the sub
ject as could be desired, and when
the report is filed the government
will then be in position to act as
it may consider proper.
That the government officials are
evincing considerable interest in the
remarkable cotton is not a surprise.
1t is an entirely new variety of cot
ton, and is the best species that has
been grown in this country. The
government will probably buy up
large quantities of the seed and dis
tribute them among the agricultural
classes, so as to insure a wide distri-
button and spread of the new va
riety.
The seed retail at 5000 per bush
ell, and the present owners of the six
acres at Jackson's farm have been
offered $25, 900 for the product of
the field. The cotton does not have
l limb on the stalk, and has many
advantages not possessed by other I
varieties. /
Mr.. Marbury will file his report
n few days, and the government ]
will probably take early action in i
rider to secure the seed that is now '
Being grown. b
