and report on tho Jackson Lim0Iess

After "A thorough and careful ex-
animation and Investigation made Of
the cotton in the field, which we
visited IN person, and carefully look

cotton ever grown in the South.
From what the committee learned
from a conversation with Mr.. Jack
son. it seems that the cotton, with
careful cultivation, will yield three
bales per acre easily, and the evil
dence of such fact has presented its
elf to us after said investigation.
The cotton itself is absolutely
without limbs, the hollis maturing on
little prongs two or three inches long
known as "fruit spur" with no other
/ limbs; there beng from two to five
hollis on each spur The stalks IN
! the field, examined 10y us are from
four to ten feet tall, according to the
fertility of the soil, and frmted from
the ground
We found on a great many stalks
hollis which contain i've and six pods,
which we consider very unusual, the
size of the hollis being very fine aver
age; the lint and staple being fine
and silky, an average Of one to one
AID half inches.
1t is the opinion of your commit
tee that no cotton Of this variety has
ever been grown in the South before
and Is of superior quality to any
thing we have ever seen grown.
The land upon which the cotton
examined was grown is ordinary red

lie scorned to sit upright,
And farmers held their hoes aloft
And gazed upon the sight.
He wore his Sunday cutaway,
Which stood straight out behind;
He frightened ducks and geese and
pigs,
But Gilpin didI't mind.
At last he came unto hill,
Twas smooth and steep and long,
The wind blew hard upon his back,
He hummed merry song.
Ere long he lifted up his feet,
Content to ''let 'er whiz."
No mind, ween, was more serene,
No breast more gay than his.
Down, down, he went, AS some gray
streak:
Twas wonderful to see:
The farmers wives were sore amaze
The children whooped with glee.
The road got sleeper: John grew pale;
"What shall do?" he thought;
Yet on he sped, as if ned been
From some great cannon shot,
The dogs ran out to bark at him,
A boy sat on a fence,
And yelled as Gilpin passed: "Hang
Your riding is immense!!"
A teamster, driving up the hill,
Turned out to let HIM pass,
And bawled, as Gilpin coasted by:
"Ihere goes reckless asst"
"Stop! Stop!" frightened farmer
cried,
"You donkey, don't you know
That there's a creek and that the
bridge
Is washed away, below"
Help! Help" cried Gilpin; 'som,
one come
And stop this durn machine"
The frightened kline stuck up then
tails
And galloped from the scene,
"Help! Help" John Gilpln yelle,
again;
"Somebody throwa ropen
The people only cried; Hang on,
And grit your teeth and hopes"
The sweat stood out on Gilpin's brow
His coat-tails snapped behind,
And bugs and dust got in his eyes,
And made him nearly bind.

lie then began to say;
81 pray the Lord my soul to keep"
And still he sped away.

lie murmured as he flew,
81 pray the Lord my soul to take
Good gosh! What shall L do:"
Again he howled with all his nigh
Come cut, somebody, quick.
Will no one come and head me OF:
Just then he struck brick.
John Gilpin rose into the air,
} And scared a rod or two;
Not that he liked to soar, but there
: Was nothing else to do.
And then he stuck his nose into
The landscape, and began
To try and rip 1t, even from
BeersheDa unto Dan.
I And then he settled in a heap,
And when the popuIace
Got there, John Gilpin was asleep
And minus half his face.
z Therefore his wife dined an alone,
Ipou their wedding day.
