The new Jackson
Wonderful cotton is creating
Cotton. widespread i'll
tcrcst, not Only in
Georgia, where it is grown, but
wherever cotton is king. The
plant grows as high as tel. feet
and is without a limb, the bolls
growing close to the stalk, and
the lowest estimates are that it
will yield four bales to the acre.
The sap that in our plaut goes
toward making limbs and leaves
is here converted directly into
cotton. Besides this, it is said
to have many other advantages
over the old-fashioned kind. At
present, Col. Jackson is getting
$500 a bushel for The seed, and
all he has left are spoken for.
Let us hope, however, that Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson,
who has secured a quantity of
the seed for experiment, may
send a few down here for trial.

United States Fish Commission.

Mr.. r. NJ. Cogswell, an agent
Of the United States Fish Com
mission, is stopping i'll Eliza
beth City for a few days, and is
at the Arlington Hotel. Mr.
Cogswell is engaged in taking
the statistics of the fisheries OF
our State, with view to show
ing the capital invested in the
same, and also the products. No
census Of our fisheries has been
made by the government since
1890, at which time it was shown
that the fisheries in North Caro-
lima amounted III round mum,
bers to 3S,ooo,ooo pounds, hav-
ing a value to the fishermen of
s985,ooo.
This data is of value to all
persons interested in the fish
business, as it is available to all
and is printed for circulation.
For instance, if adverse legisla-
ton threatens the fishermen,
they can, with the aid of these
figures, show at a glance, the
money invested in the industry ;
which IN many cases is a reve>
lation to those members of the
Legislature living in the interior
counties away from tidewater.
From conversation with Mr..
CogsWell about the other
branches Of the Fish Commits
sion work, and the aims of Capt.
Brice to better it in every re-
spect, we have no doubt the
fishermen will find in the Cons
missioner a good friend to their
interests.

Practice Economy

In buying medicine as in other mat
tiers, it is economy to get Hoods Sarsa-
parilla because there is more medi-
cinal value in Hood S Sarsaparilla than
in any other. Every bottle of II ood's
Sarsaparilla contains 100 doses and
will average, taken according to direct
ions, to last month, while others last
but a fortnight.
HOOPS PILLS arc the only pills to
