A textile school is designed for

worsted and other?, and all allied
arts, as dyeing and designing, and

Last spring the agricultural de- j
partment at Washington sent su
gar beet seed to. farmers in 27 j
States for experimental cultiva

show that the sugar beet can be 1
successfully grown in nearly eve
ry State of the Union, yielding j
the largest per cent of sugar in the t
Southern States. Has any Edge- '
field farmer experimented with j
the sugar beet. Secretary Wilson I
expects to distribute 12 tons of
seed next spring, and the sugar .
beet may become a rival of cot
ton. '

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,

ONE OFJWO WAYS.
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. At druggists,
prise fifty cents and on? dellar.
