Texas Planters Want North Carolina
Seed.

Mr.. j. E. Jones, representing the
Dallas Jobbers Cotton Seed Supply
Company, of Dallas, Texas, spent
yesterday in Raleigh on the mission
of securing cotton seed to be planted
in the boil weevil districts of Texas.
owe want to get cotton seed from
the northern part of the cotton
belt" he explained to a Post repor-
ter, "believing that this cotton will
mature more quickly in Texas than
cotton raised from Texas seed, and
thus we will escape the boil weevil,
which grows worse as the season adj
vances."
MI. Jones said that his company
wanted 100000 pounds of seed from
North Carolina this year and he was
paying from so to 60 cents for it.
If this seed turns out as they hope
then they will buy half a million
pounds in the Old North State next
year and the Tar Heel farmers may
make quite an industry of growing
seed for the Texas planters.-Ra-
leigh Post.

Last Week in Cotton Prices.

The local cotton market yesterday
was the steadiest for some time past.
However, the sales Gas usual of late)
were very small. Only sixteen bales
we're sold on the market during the
entire day. The range of prices was
from 13 to 1874 cents. The receipts
on this date last year were IA bales,
and the prices from 83s to 85s
cents.
Local spectators are still keeping
rather shy of cotton futures al
though there were considerably more
manipulators the past week than for
the previous week or two.
A gentleman who is familiar with
the market fluctuations said yester-
day that the past week has been by
odds the widest and most fuctuat-
ing he has observed this season and
for a number of seasons past. Par
ticularizing, he said that during the
past six days the advances have, been
from thirty to sixty points a day and
the declines have been at least equal
ly as great. 1t is a fact the records
show that after breaking from 13.45
to 1880 On Monday there was an adj
vance to 1895 on Tuesday. Then a
tumble to 1915 on Wednesday, a
break to 1892 on Thursday, and then
a recovery Of over half a cent on
Friday. The week closed, however,
as steady as could be desired .yester-
day.

Under such conditions as the
above figures show to have existed it
is no wonder that dealers and plan
tiers are bewildered so that very little
business is done on the market and
the farmers are that puzzled that
they can't decide what to do and
take it out in doing nothing SO far
as the sale of cotton is concerned.
Opinion is still divided as to the
real trend of the market. There are
those we'll posted on the market who
contend that cotton is steadily seek
ing a lower level and will go still
lower than Is cents instead of adj
vancing later in the season. On the
other hand there are those, and they
considerably outnumber the bearish
element, on this market, too, who are
firm in their contention that Is, 16,
and even II cent cotton, will be seer
on the market before the next crop
comes.-Raleigh Post, 9th.

The Department of Biology In the
A.. q INT. College.

The department of biology at the
A. & M. College, while not generally
regarded as a part of the %agricultu-
raj division, has been given such a
practical farming cast by DR.. F. L.
Stevens-who, by the way, is one of
the most popular and efficient in
structors ever in the College-as to
make this part of the curriculum of
especial interest to all friends of
agricultural education. In the De-
cember examinations, for example,
eleven questions we're asked, and our
readers may judge of the value of
the course by these eleven questions:
1. Describe completely some pow
derry mildew and tell what plants
suffer attack from this fungus?
2. What are rusts? What is pc
culiar about them? Draw some rust
spores?
8. How do you prevent oat and
corn smut?
4. How do you prevent the apple
scab?
5. Discuss the wilt disease of the
cotton and melon under four heads
as follows: Cause; damage, method
of spread; method of prevention?
6. Discuss in a similar way the
apple and pear blight?
Z. What are the chief fungicides
Tell in detail how you make the Bor-
deaux mixture?
8. Give the cost of spraying va
rious crops.
8. Draw three of the fungi i'm
perfect belonging to different or
ders?
10. Discuss the peach yellows, en-
phasizing cost and prevention?
II. A diseased specimen of plant
was given to the class and they were
requested to diagnose it.

The Way We See It.

How any man a let a paper
come to him year in and year out
without paying for it, and then get
mad with the Editor and say hard
things about him, if he duns him
for the price of the paper, is a prob
lem I am not able to solve. The man
who edits a paper and sells it to his
brother man for a dollar or two, as
the case may be, is as justly entitled
to it as the man who sells a bushel
of wheat for a dollar. The farmer
cannot afford to raise his wheat and
give to his fellow man, neither can
a man edit a paper and give it to
his fellow man.-P. M. Phillips.

RARE FLOWERS.
A Single Plant worth $4,000 in n
&I.O0O, OOO Orchid Collection.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The flower pot was like a toy. The
moss in it would not have made a tea
spoonful Out of the moss two tiny
leaves, each less than half inch long,
peeped. They were variegated leaves;
their right halves were green and their
left halves white. Pot, earth, leaves
and an, this plant, would have slip
ped easily into a mans waistcoat
pocket.
And yet $4,000 had been offered for
it. 1t did not4weight an ounce. There
was nothing to it but two tiny1leaves
upon a stem less than an inch long
Yet it was worth 100000
1t was an orchid in the collection
of Mrs. George B. Wilson, of Phila-
delphia. Mrs. Wilson's orchids are
said to be the finest in America
some say the finest in the world The
little plant was a cross between
cattleya aurea and a cattleya labiata. 1t
was two years old, and IT would be
five years more before it would begin
to bloom But it was the only orchid
in the world with leaves half green
and half white, and, therefore, San
ders, the English collector, seeing it in
November, said.
Il will give you $4,000 for it,
But Mrs. Wilson's gardner replied:
I'VE buy all we can, but we
never sell"
Mrs. Wilson lives at Forty-third ana
Walnut streets, Philadelphia, says the
New York Tribune. Ten years ago she
bought the orchids of Erastus Corn
ing of New York-40,000 plants, which
Mr.. Corning had been forty years in
gathering. She engaged for her gard
ener Alphonse Pericat, who had been
head gardener at the orchid farm of
Baron Alphonse de Rothschild, of Paris,
and she sent off, with a rowing COM
mission, Henri Barrault, a skilled or
child hunter. For the last ten years,
thanks to the daring and the industry
of Barrault, and thanks to the patient
art of Pericat, her collection has been
growing greatly. 1t is practically a
collection that represents fifty years
of work. 1t numbers 10000 plants, over
1000 of which are unique, with dupli-
Gates nowhere in the world, and it is
worth (as ETastus Corning spent $780,
900 on it, as Mrs. Wilson has spent
S250,000 on it, and as Pericat has propa-
gated from it over 1000 hybrids) close
upon S1,000,000. 1t is said to be the
best collection in America, and Sanders
says it is in many respects the best coll
lection in the world.

bered, turned, and stood inside in
black darkness Away still further TO
the left in a recess, was a white glim-
mer, and from the glimmer came the
low moaning echo of a voice. Holding
high the lamp with its naked, sway
ing flame, Josepha moved toward the
voice. Before her the darkness disap-
peared in huge slices, closing again in
her wake.
The lamp fiickered and fared, light

lay Antonio.
He moaned out some unintelligible
words. One of those who stood by,
bidding Josepha raise the lamp still
higher took him under the shoulders
and lifted him in a sitting posture.
More than one of those who stood in
the doorway of the house protested.
To handle such a fragile casket SEEM
ed fraught with certain danger. Ev-
cry moment we feared that the trem-
bling spirit shrined in the worn body
would pass under such contact into
the greater shades and glOoms it so
much feared And no one would wish
to have any share in the death of
man who had defied the shadow for
such a length of time.
1T is all right" said Josepha. He
wants to look at you
Antonio passed his hands before his
eyes and looked at each of us with
piercing, eager glance, as though he
were anxious to convince himself that
he were still in the land of the living.
Then he sank back on his bed. Eight
years he had lain in that darkness.
Eight years ago they raised him from
n bod and him n the sunlight
at his doorway The old man stayed
there a few minutes, pouring out his
soul in torrents of tears. 1t was an
evil thing to do, he declared. Why had
they set him there for death to see If
he CHANGED to pass? Weeping, he was
borne back to bed, and there in the
gloom he has remained thinking that
perchance the darkness may make it
more, difficult for the king of terrors
to recognize and claim him.
We did not stay there long. Once
we were outside again in the open An

ly scolding his aged daughter In in

The answer given was significant
and may be taken as an indication OF
the surviving dominant passion III olu
Antonio ,Neava's withered mind and
wasted frame. Why?
Because, having gone so quickly the
visitors would not leave anything in
the form of money for the old man

planned that they had already left
something for him. How much he

Z. F. Weed of Boston, counsel for
the Macon and Birmingham Railroad
Company, made the following state
ment to the Atlanta Journal, saying
that it contained all of the infornIa-
ton that the company's representa-
tiveS can now give to the public: Mr..
MaNell of Boston came to Macon TO
autlit the books of the Macon and Biz
mingham Railway Company. AS the
result of a careful examination by Mr..
Martell a shortage has been discover
ed The amount has not yet been
finally determined as the audit has not
been completed The books, however,
show a large sum of cash which 1t is
the duly of Mr.. Henderson as cashier
and auditor of the company to account
for. either in cash or by competent
vouchers. When. called upon to ac-
count for this sum, Mr.. Henderson
produced competent vouchers for part,
incompeten5 vouchers for more and
no vouchers at all for the balance.
The competent vouchers We're in the
nature of receipts of Mr.. Lane, the
general manager, for overdrafts on his
part When these were presented TO
Mr.. Lane, he paid them in full. The
competent vouchers were simply can

on which Mr.. Henderson claims Mr..
Lane has had cash which he never re-
paid. Mr.. Lane deries any responsible
ity on these cancelled checks. The
amount for which Mr.. Henderson pro-
duced, no vouchers was concealed by
falsifcations of the books and remit
lance tickets. Mr.. Henderson admits
having made these falsifcations per-
sonally, but claims that he did so be-
cause Mr.. Lane directed him to so fix
the books that the abstraction of these
sums could not be discovered and that
Mr.. Lane had the money. These
charges Mr. Lane Indignantly denies.
So far as the company knows, Mr..
Lane having paid the full amount OF
his overdrafts, owes the company
nothing. The prosecution of Mr.. Hen
derson has been begun by Mr.. Lane
in his capacity as general manager,
and il is approved by the company.
Any action of Mr.. Henderson looking
toward the prosecution of Mr.. Lane Is
unauthorized by the company So far
