MONKEYS As
COTTON PICKERS.
Southern Planter is Pleased
With His Experiment.

vicksburg, Miss March 2o.-The
tangled forests of darkest Africa,
which, in the early days CT the ma
ton, supplied the southern planter
with slaves to cultivate his cotton
fields and to gather his crops, have
again been drawn upon by the farm
ers of the south
Professor Garner, of Washington,
discovered that the monkey can pick
cotton as we'll as the southern negro.
he persuaded Mr.. W " Mangum,
of Yicksbnrg, to attempt the expert
ment, and the latter has just made
his report to Professor Garner.
Mr. Mangum says be has found 1t
profitable. On his place near Smedes
this winter he had so trained mon
keys at work.
The males weigh about ITO pounds
and the females average 80 pounds
each in weight. Bags were made for
each monkey that would hold 25
pounds of cotton and the bag placed
over each monkeys shoulder II was
surprising, Mr. Mangunn says, how
the monkeys learned to pick cotton.
Baskets to hold the cotton we're
placed at each end of the rows. and
one man besides the monkeys trainei
was necessary to take the cotton out
of the bags and put it into the oas
kets provided The planters through.
out the south have watched the expe
riment with great deal of interest.
Many have visited the plantation neal
Smedes to see the monkeys at theil
work.
Mr.. Mapgum is enthusiastic ovel
the success of his experiment.
.The introduction of monkeys as
cotton pickers means more to the
South" said be, .'than cotton
picking machine for the monkeys
are g success as pickers. while the
machines, so far, have been failures
The monkeys are in every way supe-
rior to negroes as pickers. and the
cost of picking is about one third.
81 believe this discovery is the
greatest that has been made for the
cotton planter since Whitney discov-
cred the cotton gin /"
Next fall Mr.. Mangum intends to
import 1900 more monkeys from
Africa, and he desires others to join
with him in importing lot more t.
be scattered throughout TIE south.

The Southern Girl.

To concluding su editorial Inspired
by . Southern girls regret that she

this to say of the girls Of the
Southland The Southern girl is
surrounded by life far truer and more
conducive to self.developueut than
girls living in other sections, because
social conditions are more normal.
Her life is healthier because it is sauer,
aud her mind, by reason Of 1t. is
clearer aud mere constantly at rest.
Tie rush of life of the North aud West
is Tot so stimulating as maoy Southern
girls suppose. % the contrary. IL
wears women out as often as it
develops them In 30 part of our
country do women lock younger at
maturity than 10 the South To the
sout6eru girl, TOO, Nature blooms in a
profusion as she does nowhere else.
The natural history which the Northern
g,.l must get cut of books the Southern
! girl gets direct from Natures own
hand. She is born of soil as rich
and colorfal 10 romantic history as is
the literature Of Spain This she
receives as natural heritage. Her
pareo,s are, and her ancestors were,
among the best types Of American
chivalry aod American womaohood.
Sne hears but one language spoken i.
and this is ber owu If there is the
introduction of another tongue it is
French, and With these two she can
travel the world over and never be at
disadvantage. The religion which
she learns from her mother is the
highest and best because i, is uutsinted
With modern revelations. The truest
friend and safest teacher in highest
living girl cau have is her mother.
aud in the South mothers have way
of finding time for their daughters and
being companions to then. The
Southern father is fond of his children, !,
aud proves it by his presence at the
