Snxinr Garden Seeds.

Every year we are the more i'm
pressed with the need for farmers and
gardeners saving their own seeds-that
is of all varieties of ANIMALS. There are
good reasons for not attempting to
save seeds of biennial plants-the sin
gle adverse climatic condition is suflc-
lent however.
There are some seeds that Justly
should be grown in the South for ex-
port to the North and to European
countries, for instance, okra and egg
plant.
For our own use besides these we
should grow seeds of asparagus, beans
of all kinds, squash. tomato. pepper,
parsley and most of our own garden
corn melons, cucumbers. These we
should grow always to the full extent
of home requirements and always with
the idea too of improving their quality,
of productiveness yearly if possible.
The most productive plants should be
sought for in every species grown and
only from these should seeds be saved
The earliest perfect fruit whether of
bean or tomato or melon or what not.
should be marked for preservation.
We are aware that northern grown
seeds in some respects are more desir-
able, and when of reasonable price and
of first quality it frequently pays to
make use of them even if we had an
abundance of home raised. But we need
our own acclimated varieties never

HENRY HILL WAS NOT
THE THUNDERBOLT SUICIDE.
He Shows Up, Live Enough, Among
Brunswick Friends.

Brunswick. Ga, July 3.-Henry Hin.
the man who left Brunswick some time
ago and whose whereabouts were not
known by friends in this city, and who
many thought was the man who COM
mitted suicide at Thunderbolt Satur-
day week, arrived in the city last
night.
Hill says he saw the article in the
Savannah Morning News concerning
the suicide and later that the body
had not been identified, and was
thought to be Henry Hill of this city
He was in Wilmington, n. c., at the
time, but did not give out anything on
the subject, and the fact that he had
not been heard from since the
publication that the suicide was prob
ably the Brunswick Henry Hill, led
his friends to believe that he was the
man. Mr.. Hill says the description
of the dead man suits him almost per-
fectly. except as to the grey hair. He
is now employed by the Atlantic Coast
Line in Wilmington, and is here for a
short visit to friends.
Brunswick will celebrate the Fourth
tomorrow in great style. A majority
of our people will probably visit St.
Simon, where an interesting pro-
gramme of sports has been arranged.

be the ball game between the Bruins

THE STORY FROM TOXIC
OF THE ENGAGEMENT.

Toxic, July 3, p. m.-The Twelfth
torpedo fotilla under command of
Commander Yamada made the sue
cessful torpedo attack at the entrance
of Port Arthur last Monday night
June q. in which Russian guardship
and Russian torpedo boat destroyer
were sunk.
The japanese vessels were revealed
by the Russian searchlights and the
shore forts opened a heavy fusilade on
them. The Russian guardship was
surrounded and attacked by the Japa-
nese, who saw this vessel sink and
huge volumes of water thrown up by
heavy explosions.
Following this the Russian torpedo
boat destroyers at once attacked the
Japanese vessels, which responded to
the onslaught.
A Russian destroyer, while within
the area lit up by the searchlights was
seen to explode, rise, fall back into the
water sideways and sink.
The guardship sank near the base of

THINKS RUSSIANS MAY
RETREAT TO LAO YANG.

Che Foo, July 3, 11;55 p. ma
small Japanese force occupied Kai Ping
on June %. and found the Russians
had fallen back to Tai Tche Kiao
The Japanese expected that a big bat
tie would be fought at Tai Tche Kiao,
but in other quarters it is believed that
the Russians probably will retreat to
Lao Yang, as otherwise they would
be cut off at Hai-Cheng by the Takus-
han division of the Japanese army.
1t is possible that this already has oc-
CURED, AS the Takushan division was
within striking distance of Hal Cheng
a week ago.
The Chinese government is adopting
stringent measures to prevent the ship

twenty-six delegates to the Democratic
National Convention will leave for st

delegation is uninstructed as to the
