WILL PLANT EGYPTIAN COTTON.
Coffee County Farmers Envy DIR.
Wilcox His Success.

NOhCG SOunts A1hNy III
wilcox His Success.
Waycross, Ga, Sept. THE informa-
ton is that the farmers of Coffee county
will experiment with raising Egyptian cot
ton another year This will be a direct
result Of the test made this year by Dr..
Jeff Wilcox at Willacoochee.
When the department of agriculture sent
DR.. Wilcox last year a few sample pack
ages of Egyptian cotton seed, other far
mers and professional men of Georgia also
received similar samples. But unlike some
who received them and threw them aside
as unworthy a trial, DR.. Wilcox planted a
small patch and fortified it and cultivat-
ed it, The yield was fine, and judging
from what was made on the small piece
of ground planted, DR.. Wilcox says the
Egyptian cotton Will yield twice as much
per acre as the sea island. In TACT ne
claims that one bale per acre viii be made
on lands that only produce half bale OF
Georgia long Gotten.
The lint is of an intermediate quality,
being of a yellow tint and shorter than
sea island. The seed are similar to COM
mon Georgia long staple and two and e
quarter pounds of seed cotton VIII pro-
duce one pound of lint On account OF
the yellowness the lint will not sell for
more than ordinary Georgia sea island.
The picking is done much easier as the
bolls do not hold the cotton so tightly as
ordinary cotton.
Dr. Wilcox has been visited by farmers
from all over Coffee county for the pur-
pose of investigating the new cotton. At
ter seeing the result of the test the farm
ers were pleased and invariably asked DR..
Wilcox to get a large supply of Seeds so
they could try the experiment next year.
The argument in favor of Egyptian is
that the yield is larger and the cost or
picking less.

From the September st. Nicholas
We had three elephants for our tents
and baggage; and one dear creature used
to feed from my hands every day, and
seemed as gentle as any pct dog or cat.
One of our government chaprasis was
particularly devoted to her, and invariably
shared his meal of fruit or -four cakes with
his dumb friend. on a particularly hot
day the chaprasi, to my surprise, placed
his tiny child of six months at the ele-
plants feet, warning her expressively
that the infant was in her charge, and was
to be cared for till his return. / myself
was an eye witness Of her wonderful sa-
gacity Large banana trees and fig trees
grew around, and TO my surprise, the ele-
plant broke off one of the formers spread
ing leaves, held it like fan In her trunk,
and from time TO time gracefully waved
it over the slumbsring child. whether TO

SALISBURY BACKS DOWN.
The Settlement of GracO-Turkish
Affairs Is Victory for Germany.

London, Sept. THE Marquis of Sails
bury's fastest proposal for the settlement
of the terms of peace between Turkey
and Greece is generally regarded as a vic
tory for German diplomacy and much Bit
ter feeling is displayed in England over
the British premiers back-down.
A fresh proposal with Germany has been
made necessary by that nations holding
out for the control of the Greek revenue

Greece, as well as for the security of

the revenues with which Greece will guar
antee the payment of interest for the old
bonds, as well as payment of the indem-
nifty loan. has been accepted by the pow

The only remaining question is the dates
for the payment OF the indemnity.
The powers desire to insert these dates

they leave the dates to be determined
upon by the international commission.
The ambassadors expect that all the de-
tails of the treaty of peace will be set
tied on Thursday next.
