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 cock and bull niome& that have been pri ited about Mr. Jackson and his cotton ware more in the nature of mi jrovertising scheme tbrtfT fiona fide news.

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 a .w>h hid.lnr tie a county operating [Pure Blood means sound health.
