GROWING EGYPTIAN COTTON
Results OF the Development of
Agriculture Experiments Near
Hartsyille. A Hybrid With
Possibilities.
Special to The State.

v

ment of agriculture at Washing.
ton, has conducted series of ex
periments with cotton at this
place for two seasons past. His
idea is to test, first, whether
Egyptian cotton can be grown
successfully in this country, and
secondly, to produce a prolific,
long staple, smooth seeded cotton
for general upland planting.
1t was demonstrated beyond
doubt that Egyptian cotton can
be produced successfully in this
country, so far as getting the
quality is concerned. A dozen or
more samples grown In this State
along with the same number of
specimens ofreal Egyptian cotton
were submitted to cotton mill
men throughout the country and
only one examiner was a BILE to
ditferentiate between them.
When 1T is remembered that over
100000 worth of Egyptian cot
ton is annually imported for mills
in this country, it is easy to un-
derstand the Importance that
this matter would assume were
the crop readily produced here.
1t is yet to be proven, however,
that 1T can be grown In such
quantity as to compete, acre for
acre, with upland cotton, though
1T seems entirely probable.
To produce prolificlong staple
smooth seeded cotton for upland
planting DIR. Webber has grown a
hybrid between the Egyptian and
the sea island cottons. The hy-
brid is more prolific than either
parent and 30 far has shown pret.
ty constant Egyptian character
istics. The fibre of this by brid
averages l 2 inches as against
1t average inches for Egyptian,
l 3 4 average inches for sea is-
land and l average for upland
cotton. The yield from the crop
of the hybrid, this year is esti.
mated at about 1900 pounds seed
cotton per acre. The yield Of lint
cotton will bo 81 per cent. of the
seed cotton yield. The stalks
average 6 feet hight, are long
lined and have an average of so
to IS bOlls to the stalk. AS many
as 212 bolls were counted on one
plant. The experiment with this
hybrid is regarded as successful
and the seed will probably go on
the market next season. Prof. y
n. Shoemaker of the department
Of horticulture and botany at the
Welsh Neck Higa school has
had these experiments in charge,
and on his own account has con.
Quoted a series of experiments
looking to increasing the length
Of the staple of the ordinary up.
land cotton. This he has done
by a process Of selection, planting
rows from the seeds of the choic.
est plants in the cotton fields
around here, and the planting in
turn rows from the choicest Of the
plants. The first crop yielded an
average increase Of Is inch in
length of fibre and DR.. Shoemak.
er is greatly encouraged with the
results. He says that the Egyp.
and the long staple hybrid
cotton can be ginned successfully
rate in the season on dull saw
gins and with low speed; cotton
winned here last season passed

the regard of your people. Be
gentlemen. The call to preach
is call to be gentlemen. Be
such in your manner and in your
dress to the minutcst detail.
Carelessness in dress is not a sign
of genius. Never become a pul
pit scold. That method never
wins a soul to Christ. Avoid
debt as you would sin. Be manly
men. Be studious men. God is
not going to give you your SER
mons. You must work for them
Study the Word and study your
people. Be industrious men. Do
not waste your time. Be pious
men. This is the most important
OF all. Let not your preaching
be above your life. Preach a
whole gospel, not one sided
gospel. DO not become hobby
lider. Do not imagine that you
are not appreciated. Give your
self wholly 10 God and He will
take care of you"
The disciplinary questions were
then propounded and answered
and the young brethren were ad-
mitted into full connection.

All was done so. quickly that ,nose who stood at their places within the Shattuck saloon were dumfounded. They were given absolutely no chance to defend themselves. No sooner had the hold-ups given the order for all to throw up their hands, accompanying their command with vile epithets. than they commenced to shoot, time not even being given 10 obey the com mand.
 'N"r with Noftz on his left. To the right of James stood theold man. l.. O. Milless boring over the figures which represented the cash account Of the roulette wheel at which he worked. James turned on the defenseless oic man with the ferocity of wild animal. and hardly had Milless remarked: {: 'Too late, old man; the moneys all in the safe" than he was shot Lke .,og bv this human tiger. whose thirsl for blood so dominated him that only human life would suffice to repay TOT his disappointment at being foiled.
 Twice he shot the olG man before he turned to face those who were ir the place Before a word could be uttered by any one. the cowardiy assassin had turned to flee. Those nearest were too startled to realize what had occurred. and before hand could be raised to stay the flight of the come by night marauders. they had gained place of safety no one knew where. They had vanished into the night from which they had come. leaving no more train than the flying bird of prey which swoops down on its weaker brother and carries him off to its aerie.
 Securing parties were soon out, but no one could find where any one had gone. Officers from all over the country gathered at the scene of the murder. but all went away knowing hut little more of the real culprits than had they never given the matter a thought. Many arrests were made of suspects. rather unknown and un- favorable looking characters who seemed to have no particular place of abode TOT any occupation. These all bore the scrutiny of the police foi many days and were al last permitted to leave the city.
 From time to time came reports that the real murderers Of Milless would soon be captured. but the myth | ical 6esperadoes never materiailzec until Harry Jennings, newly reaopoin' ed to the police force of the city, fell upon the real track Of the men. !.

so much O. a twitch of muscle. the only sign that he was affected by it being shown in a slight palior that crept over his face for an instant. to be replaced but a moment later with a smile of derisiOn and a remark aside to Attorney McGowan: Now. what uo you think of that?"
 After a short conference with his at torney in the latter's office, James was taken back to the city jail to await his removal to the county jail. Both he and the Carlisle woman will be talk. en to Tombstone tonight or tomorrow.
 The crime for which Johnny James was arrested and yesterday proven guilty in the eyes of all fair-min0ed persons occurred or the morning of August 19, at 12:50 o'clock. James and Noftz swooped down upon the St. Louis Beer Hall. and in the despera- ton which was the outgrowth Of their unsuitable greed shot with fiendis cruelty those whom they thought stood in their way of getting possession of the large sum of money they knew to be slowed away in l.. c. Shattuck' $ safe.
 It was one of the most cruel and colG-blOoded murders in the history of thugs operations. Armed to the teeth and masked and disguised beyond recognition, Johnny James turned up- on the poor old man who stood upon his right as he entered the saloon, and before the profane command to throw lips. shot L. O. Milless twice. The old man fell to the floor and gasped his last without a word.
 The countryside was thrown into a frenzy of excitement at the news of the horrifying deed, and had the mur- derer been caught. there is no doubt that he would have suffered a speedy end at the hands of the enraged popu- lace.
 Those who were attracted to the scene of the murder shortly after its occurrence were dumbfounded at the sight that met. their gaze. none there were who could gather the necessary presence of mind to run down the foul perpetrators of the crime. The ele- mentS even seemed to have put forth their best efforts to hide the tracks oI the Gastards, for while preparations were being made to trail those who had come and gone, leaving bloody death in their wake, rain washed out all trace of their trail. and for weeks no clew to the whereabouts of the pail could be found
 But murder will out, and it was not long until slip of the tongue gave the officers the needed information whicr 1 led to the apprehension of Johnny James and Bert Noftz.
 A better time could not have been selected for the perpetration of the fiendish plot than the one that pre- sented itself to the. convenience O James and his accomplices- A -izzly rain had fallen at intervals during tht day. and the lowering black night of fered no temptation for the well dis posed to leave their homes.
 The robbers timed their visit well and but. for the lapse of mere fev seconds they might have succeeded ir securing the spells for which '1e, sought. Hiding their guilty faces be hind improvised masks, and dressed in outer clothing that gave little op portunity for recognition, the pal rushed into the beer hall when the! thought that the money of the hous' would be in easy reach.
