simply because they are descended from
$500 bull. These importations and
prices are Of more interest to fancy
breeders than to farmers who keep cows
for butter making, and are not fancy
breeders. There are today in this coun-
try more Jerseys than in jersey, and if
we were selecting a Jersey herd we would
select it for the individuals rather than
their families. There are thousands OF
bulls in this country which could head a
herd just as protitably for the farmer as
Flying Fox that be had for one
hundredth part of the price paid for this
bull. And there are thousands of native
bred Jersey, COWS just as good in every
way for the dairy as the one that sold
for 1000 to So ,0C0, because imported. A
COW or a bull is not superior simply be
cause it is imported or belongs TO GER
tain strains. There are weeds in all
breeds and in all families and the way
TO improve the stock for the dairy is to
give attention to the individual excel
lence of the animal no matter whether
it is from some particularly fashionable
family or not.

Greensboro.
Especial to News and Observer)

Greensboro, y. c., Sept 81. W.
Woody, of Lynchburg, Va, former
brakeman on the Southern Railway
train, is being searched for by officers
under a warrant sworn out by Robert
Haney, a respectable resident here,
charging him with criminal assault on
his daughter, aged thirteen, in the for
est adjoining the park late Yesterday.
Woody is said to have written the girl
note inviting her to trip TO the park
with him which she accepted.
Later parties hearing screams of .
woman near the park, went to the res
cue, when the man and girl both ran,
boarding a car from different directions
and coming to the city on the same car.
Tie girl says Woody induced her to
drink wine almost to intoxication. and
she did rot fully realize the situation
until too late to DO anything but scream,
and then, when discovered she followed
his directions about running.
The age of consent in the State is four
teen. and Woody, if caught, Will face a
charge of capital felony. Woody left
supposedly on a freight last night and
the officers think will be easily cap
t,red, some declaring be will not evade
arrest not knowing the gravity Of his
offense under most favorable cGHstruc-
ton.
