Tlir, J ACKSON TREE COTTON.
A great many fairy stories have
| recently been published in the
| newspapers about a wonderful cot
j ton, which Mr. Thomas A. Jackson,
of Fulton County, is now cultiva
ting. According to these storios
this cotton grows ’.ike trees,' and
will produce three or four bales
to the acre on ordinary land, and
many people have becotfte fright
|eued because of the fear that the
j introduction of this prolific cot
ton will so increase the yield of
J thd*fleecy staple that it will drop
I down to about two cents per pound,
and thus make the futlier cultiva
tion of it totally unprofitable.
It has been given out that this
new cotton was discovered in the
very heart of Africa, by some tin
named explorer, who gave a few of
the seed to Mr. Jackson, in 1895,
and that he only succeeded in ger
minating 57 of them, from which
he obtained enough to plant thir
teen square feet in 1896, and from
the crop of that year a sufficient
quantity to plant six acres this
•VuTr, from wnicn to
gather about twenty-four bales.
Prof. R. J. Redding, director of
the Georgia Experiment Farm,
procured a few of these seed, last
spring, and has been experimenting
with them, right by the side of our
nativy cotton, and here is what he
says of it:
“I tried very hard to get some of
the seed for careful testing but
without success. I finally pro
cured a few seeds of a partner of
Mr. Jackson, of undoubted parity,
and have in progress a very care
ful test in competition with twenty
other varieties such as are adver
tised and sold at fifty cents per
bushel aud upward by the origina
tors or improvers, and by the seed
dealers of the country. I find
nothing remarkable in the so-call
ed African cotton. It has short
fruiting stems containing from
one to five bolls of fair size. It
has usually one or two branching
>stems that proceed from near the
ground and these contain the same
arrangement of short fruiting
spnrs. Owing to this arrange
ment of the branches the
main 3tem grows taller, probably
fifteen to twenty per cent taller
than other varieties. It now
promises to produce no more cot
ton per acre than the average pro
duct of the twenty other varieties.
It has no botanical characters in
dicating that it is even a new spec
ies much less a new genus. It so
happened in planting the twentv
one Varieties that one variety
of local Georgia origin occupied
adjacent rows and proves almost
identical with this so-called for
eign cotton, differing, indeed, only
in not growing so tall; but it
promises a large yield. I am of
the opinion that the Jackson cot
ton is simply a variety of domestic
origin.
“At the conclusion of otyr test I
will give a complete aq<d detailed
report of the regwfts. In the
meantime the qji*son planters need
over this “wonder
ful,,” phenomenal, new cotton.
My agriculturist has just brought
in an open boll of the African
cotton. I enclose the seed cotton
from this one boll. It has a fair
ly good staple, but does not ap
proach hiea Island in length and
JS V '3S3.”
\
i what Prof. Redding says
cotton, it appears to be a
fvarity of the common cluster
which many of our farmers have
grown for years, and a few stalks
of which can be found in almost
any cotton patch, and that the
only peculiarity, that differentia
tes it from other similar cotton,
is the fact that it grows some
taller.
This is, doubtless, a good variety
of cotton, but not so superior to
others as to justify the farmers in
buying seed from Mr. Jackson at
the fabulous prices he asks for
them.
. In fact, we have aU-trtong been
inclined to the opirJon that the

been pri ited about Mr. Jackson

A METHODIST ROW. !
The Outlook is a free-hance j
Methodist paper, pnblished atj
Nashville,Tennessee. It fills about!
the same niche in religeons news-!
psperdom that the Atlanta Look
ing Glass does in secular affairs.
Recently there appeared a com
| munication in the Outlook, under
the nom de plume of “Old Georgia
| Methodist,” which created a rat
tlingof the dry bones, in Methodist
church circles.
The writer of this article de
clared that the Methodist church
is passing through a crisis in its
history, and that, unless the pow
ers of the bishops are curtailed,
aud some of the bankrupt and
trading presiding elders are retired
to the rear, the church is going to
become more and more like the
Episcopal church, leaning more
and more to the Catholic church,
from which both are offshoots.
It was charged that the church is
hopelessly divided on several
points, egjifeially on sanctification
on evangelists, and
, particularly on the tyrannic pow
er imbedded in the bishops council,
and exercised in the annual con
ference, and that a regular system
of trading and trafficking in ap
: pointments has grown up in the
■ North Georgia Conference,whereby
, certain preachers are sure of get
ting the best places, regardless of
the question of fitness, or ability,
and under which many of the
ablest and best members of the
conference are side-tracked in
out of the way places,
where they are compelled to eke
out a poor existence, so far as the
comforts of this world are con
cerned.
The Wesleyan Christian Ad
vocate, of Atlanta, undertook to
reply to this article, and charged
the Rev C. C.Cary, themethodist
pastor at Cedartown, with the
authorship of it. The Advocate
construed it to be an unchristian
and unauthorized attack upon the
church, aud broadly hinted that
its author would be disciplined, at
the next session of the North Geo
rgia conference.
It turned out that Mr. Cary had
no connexion with the matter, and
that Mrs. W. H. Felton was the
author of the obnoxious communi
cation. Cary wrote a letter to the
Advocate in which he denied all
responsibility for the Outlook ar
ticle, but said four fifths of what
“Old Georgia Methodist” had writ
ten was true. Editor Glenn, of
the Advocate, after having so vic
iously and undeservedly attacked
Cary, refused to print his reply,
and undertook to satisfy him by
publishing a short extract from it,
whereupon the irate minister
turned it over to the Atlanta Jour
nal, where the full text was given
to the public.
At this stage of the game, Mrs.
Felton came to the rescue, avowed
herself the author of the Outlook
letter, and fired off another at
Glenn, and Dr. Walker Lewis,
w ho, it appears, had joined in the
hue and cry for Cary’s scalp, when
suspicion first pointed to him as
the guilty party, and had aired his
views in reply, it the columns of
the Outlook.
In her second letter Mrs. Felton
says that Dr. Glenn is either doing
the public writing of Walker Lewis,
or else the latter has his “double”
in the editorial chair of the
Wesleyan Christian Advocate—
that they are
“Two dew drops on a swinging limb,
They wink and slink aud run together,
If one takes cold, the other sneezes.
Be it fair, or cold, or cloudy weather.”
Mrs. Felton also puts Glenn and
Lewi* on notice, That she' has all
tlie facts and specifications in her
possession, which they called on
Cary to produce, and that it will
afford her genuine pleasure to
accommodate them, if they will
make a similar demand of her,
but none has, or will ever be
made, because it is a matter of
public notoriety that sister Felton
is always loaded for bear, when
she ambles off into the forests on
a hunting expedition.
It is being hinted, in certain
quarters, that the Rev. Mr. Cary
wiil be disciplined at the next
session of the North Georgia Con
ference, because of his statement,
to the effect that four fifths of
what Mrs. Felton had charged is
true, but those who are better
posted have more sense than to
invite an investigation, as such an
undertaking would be sure to re
sult in a verification of all chat
Cary has charged.
A NEW CONSTRUCTION.
Lust week the N#ws, referring
to the tact that a Catholic priest,
’of Atlanta,“liad objected to the use
of a certain text book in the pub
lic schools or that city, which con
tained the Protestant vermon of
the Ten Commandments, unless
it was amended, by having the
Catholb version inserted also, said
that this is a Pretestant country.
Atlanta a Protestant city and Pro
testants should rule in such mat
ters, without asking the advice or
consent of the Catholic church.
Without copying what we said
upon the subject,the Atlanta Jour
nal made the following comment
on it:
respecting an Mtnßlisnment Vis r-1-
igeon, or prhibitiA the free exer
cise thereof, but imimposes no ob
ligation upon boa£s of education
to admit viciousMext-books into
the public schools, because of a de
mand by t,he clergy of a particular
dentjn i nation.
The few Mohammedans, who
were stranded around Atlanta af
ter the exposition, have as much
right to demand that the Koran
shall be made a text-book in the
city schools, as the Catholic priests
have to insist that the Catholic
version of the Ten Commandme its
shall be taught therein.
The Protestant world repudiates
the Catholic version of ths Bible,
and any board of education, which
is made up of Protestants, who
allow it to be taught in the public
schools of this country, are moral
cowards, aud unworthy to fill a
position of such great responsi
bility.
THE CONVICT QUESTION.
The committees of the hous6
and senate, on the penitentiary,
are in session, at Atlanta, this
week, trying to devise some plan
for the disposition of the felony
convicts, to be formulated into a
law at the comir.g sesssion of the
legislature.
The present lease will expire
next year, and it is necessary fo.r
the state to provide for taking
care of them, before they are
thrown back on its hands.
This is a very serious and irrr
portant matter, and it is hard to
determine just what is the best
disposition that can be mado of
our criminals. Various sugges
tions have been made, and it is no
easy matter to devise a plan that
will be satisfactory to all ele
ments.
There iB a strong sentiment in
favor of putting them at work on
the public roads, but this is ob
jected to by many people, upon
the ground that such a system
would prtive burdensome and ex
pensive to the tax-payers.
It has also been proposed that
the state purchase Sapelo island
and put the males to work raising
sea island cotton, and other agri
cultural products, and the females
to making clothing for them.
This is a fertile island, and con
tains several thousand acres of
splendid farming lauds. It is be
lieved, ty those favoring this plan,
that the penitentiary could be
made self-supporting under it,
rather than a heavy expense to
the state.
The climate is mild, the chances
for escape slight, and fewer guards
would be required to look after
them, as it is several miles from
the mainland, and no* could get
away without a boat. A
Some change is necessary in the
law concerning misdemeanor con
victs. At present they must Oe
worked on the public works, and
hiring them to private parties is
prohibited by express provision of
the statute.
Many of the county authorities
have been disregarding this law for
years, and, as a matter of fact, a
large majority of this class of
criminals have been leased to pri
vate persons and put to work on
farms, and at saw-mills in South
ern Georgia.
Recently, Gov. Atkinson has had
the various private camps examin
ed by Col. Phil G. Byrd, who has
made a blood-curdling report of
the cruelties that have been inflict
ed upon these persons by the les
sees having them in charge, and,in
this way a strong public sentiment
has been created against the pres
ent system, which has been
promptly followed by a demand
for a change.
Later developments, liow'ever,
have shown that his reports were
highly colored, and many of his
alleged facts proven to be the
merest fabrications, which were
probably palmed off on him for
the truth by vicious convicts, in
private interviews, aud swallowed
without due consideration or in
vestigation.
In our opinion, the only change
in the law concerning these misde
meanor convicts that onght to he
made, is the repeal of that provis
ion which inhibits the leasing of
them to private parties, and pro
viding for doing this, but leaving
them under the control and super
vision of the state authorities, just
as the felony convicts are under
the present system.
. It will not do for the state to
adopt the suggestion, to the effect
that each county shall organize a
chaingang, and work its criminals
on its own roads, because such a
syste'm would be expensive, and
onerously so, to the tax payers.
Some counties have very few of
this class of convicts, and their
work would not be worth the con
struction of stockades and houses,
the money spent for the purchase
of tools and stock, and the hiring
guards. Only such counties as
"the large ana populous cities are
loeated iu, and ki which there are
always large numbers of such crim
inals, could, afford to adopt this
system, aud their demands for this
labor would soon be met, if they
were allowed tahire from the small
er counties, aud then there would
be no demand for the balance of
them.
The county authorities should be
permitted to lease, these convicts
to (he highest bidder, whether
