Humbug: Exposed. 1 The following letter from Direc tor Redding of the Georgia Expe- < riment Station "does up" the J African limbless cotton : < GEORGIA EXPERIMENT STATION, ( September 25, 1897. Mr. John Ferguson, Gieenville, - S. C. ; Dear Sil :-In reply to yours of ? the 23d, I beg to say that I have s repeatedly published replies and B interviews in regard to the so-called t African Limbless Cotton. I have \ the same cotton growing on this ? Slation from some of the same seed that Jackson used, having ( secured it from n partner of Jack- j son's last year. I have aleo 1 examined Jackson's six-acre field J of the so-called African Cotton. : When the pa'ch ? planted on th ie Station commenced developing j fruit I soon suspected that it wan j none other than a comparatively old variety, known as "Welborn*.- ( Pet," introduced and sold j (principally in the West) for 7 or, t S years past, by Jeff Welbon s now of Kens, Ark. After i* s commenced to open its crop I , becamn convinced beyond a t reasonable doubt that the African (!) cotton is identical with '.Welborn's Pet." I bad grown I II I M the "Pet" in 1890 and '92, and remembered itg peculiarities. I exchanged specimen sections of stalks with Mr. Jeff Welborn a few weeks ago, he sending me a section of bis Pet grown last year. The result was that no doubt whatever is left in hi? or my mind of the identity of Jackson's "Afri can" and "Welborn's Pet." Our j trial test of 21 varietie? does not . show much to the credit of the Jackson cotton. It will not yield ap much as any ono of half the other varieties. I saw Jackson's pitch. It is glowing on land that originally was thin upland but it has been manured and improved for many years until it is now what we understaand when we say a "dunghill" spot; besides this previous manuring it has been loaded down with cowpen manure from the adjoining cowpen 3f sixty cows. It will possibly make 1 to 1? bales of cotton per acre, if the frost holds off reasonably late. The staple is ordinary, no better than the average selected varieties of uplard cotton and will bring no more in the market. The whole thing is simply a scheme to sell the seeds of a fairly good variety of cotton at unconscionably exorbitant price. Wel'?orn sells them at $2,00 por bushel, or possibly loss. Jackson wants $1.00 per hundred seeds, or $60.00 p*r pound 1 The tale about the seed having been introduced by a "Wandering Jew," who found them ou a bush growing wild on tb? banks of the Congo, in Central Africa* id simply ft "yarn." If ? singla farmir, after reading this, is humbugged about those soe4 he deserves to ba humbugged. I have no interest in it exceyt that X believe it to b* my duty sa Director of the Georgi? Experiment Station to expose all such attempts to impose 911 the farmers. You can make suoh use of t hi? as you ajay desire, for the benefit of your farmers. Very truly, R. J.

The bladder was created for one pur pose, namely, a receptaele fot Hie urine, andas srjcb it it sot liable to any form of disease exeept by oae of two ways. The first way ts from im perfect action of lae kidneys. The second way is from careless loeal treat ment of other diseases. CHIEF OAXJSB. Unhealthy orine from nnhaaltby kidneys is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the wornt, like the blad der, \ra> created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much ie not liable to weakness or disease? except in rare cases, lt is situated back of ano very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience mani fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or usinary passage is often, by mistake attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To fiBd ont correctly, sat your urine aside for 24 hour; a sediment or settling- indicates kidney or bladder trouble. Th? mild and the sxtraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney ind bladder remedy, ie soon Real ized. If you need a medicine you ihoold have the Beet.
