NEW KIND OF COTTON.
Discovered Through Chance i'm Geor-
gia, is of Fine Texture and Closely
Resembles Wool.

Augusta Chronicle.
BY what appears to have been the
merest chance in the world, q new
Kind OF cotton has been discovered
and developed in Georgia. in which
the government has interested itself.
couple Of years ago a man by the
name Of A. G.. Spilled, Pike county.
farming near Barnesville. received a
shipment of goods from Europe and in
the packing were several seeds having
much the appearance Of cotton seed.
Out Of curiosity he planted them and
from the first planting grew what was
peculiar stalk of cotton. 1t was
carefullp cared for and the seed were
planted the past season. Out of the
second planting other stalks were
grown ond from them was gathered
about rs pounds Of lint cotton. 1t ia
of very fine texture resembling close
ly wool. eThe staple has been exhibit
ed to number of people, among them
AGRICULTURAL experts, and has attracted
a great deal Of attention. From a
number Of sources where the cotton
had been heard OF. or by those who
have seen 1t. Mr.. spiller was offered
a dollar each for the seed. but he de-
clined to sell. .r..e
The matter was brought to the at
tention Of the agricultural depart
ment in Washington. and announce
ment is now made that experts are
to be sent to Pike county to make a
survey Of the soil and an exan,i-
nation Of the product and conditions
under which it was produced. In or
der-.to make further experiments it
is said the federal department will, If
it finds it necessary. to trace the ORR
gin of the seed. secure a lot Of them
and find out what can be done with
the new cotton in this section.
