The 1ntelligencer regrets that 1t finds
1t again necessary to call attention to
the invarlable rule Of all well regulated
newspapers that communications for
publication must be accompanied by the
name Of the author. The name Is not
published unless the author desires It,
but 1t should always be known to the
newspaper. Communications urging the
claims for candidates for office, when
confined TO presenting the merits OF a
candidate, are always cheerfully PUBLISH
ed. II the authors name accompanies
them, but reflections upon other candl-
dates should be abstained from.

E1lroom Slippers.

To make pair OF bedroom slippers
knitted in two colors, two knitting
needles, Nc. 13, pair of lambs wool
soles, q quarter of pound 'of Berlin
wool in two contrasting colors, and a
yard of narrow satin ribbon for bows.
About two and quarter ounces of the
dark wool and one and half, or q
little ever, will be sufficient for No.
4 slipper.
The pattern is simple and consists
of eight rows. Cast on eighteen
stitches with the dark wool, knit one
row plain and join ON the light wool.
Then the actual pattern begins:
Slip two stitches, knit two with the
light wool, slip two dark, knit two
with the light and SO on. The next
three rows are exactly the same except
that the light stitches knitted in the
first and third rows are purled in the
second and fourth. The remaining
four rows are plain and all with the
dark wool, two knitted, the next
purled, ana the last knitted. This
completes the pattern and gives a
pretty rib, which will be necessary to
pin the strip Of knitting round the
sole to test the length before taking
off the stitches. The shape of the
shoe is formed by one end of the
knitted strip being sewed very firmly
not to the end, but to the end of the
side, so that the first rib knit lies at
right angles to the final ones, to the
ends of which it is. joined. The last
rib thus makes part of the lower edge,
to be sewed to the sole. The extreme
corner should be turned under. which
gives q nice round shape to the toe.
To turn the toe make q strip Of loop
trimming in crochet or Knitting. It
is most Quickly do1e-in crochet. Four
stitches will make it wide enough
and the loops are made in each
stitch in alternate rows, winding the
wool three times round the fingers

Committee Report or the Interstate Cotton
Growers' Association on the jackson
African Limbless Cotton, That Met
In Atlanta. GA, Dec. IL, 1897.
We, the undersigned Committee, appointed
by the Interstate Cotton Growers' Association.
held in Atlanta, Ga, December 18th, 1897. to
investigate and report on tho Jackson imoless
Cotton, beg leave to submit tho following report:
After thorough and careful s1aninaticn and
fnyesti gation made OF the cotton in tho field,
which We visited in person, and carefully looking
into the mattel, we unhesitatingly pronounce It
the best variety Of cotton ever grown IN 1no, inc
conversation with Mr.. jackson, seems thet
the cotton, wtth careful cultivation. will yield
three bales Der aero easily. and tho evidence
of such fact has presented itself 10 us after said
investigation. The cotton itself is absolutely
without limbs, the bolls maturing on little
pronRs twoior three inches long, known aS 'fruit
spur," !" with no other limbs; there being from mtWo
tonve bolls each spur. The stalks In the neiu,
examined by US, are from four to ten feet tall.
according TO the fertility Of tho soil, as fruifed
from the kround up We found on great many
stalks, bOlls which contain hye ana six poas,
which w consider very unusual, the SIZE OF tne
bolls being very ine average; the lint and staple
being che and silky, an average OF one to ono
and half inches. Its tho opinion OF your Com.
mftteei that no cotton OF this variety mas ever
been grown in the South before, and ID OF supe-
rior quality to anything We haye ever seen
