The Quality of Grass Seed.

The Maine law regulating the sale
Of agricultural seeds requires that
grass seed shall be sold under a guar
antee as to purity. Bulletin 1913 of the
Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, which doubtless many of your
readers have received, gives analyses
of the seeds which were collected by
the inspector and those sent to the
Experiment Station by correspondence
in 1906. The dealers are very generally
conforming to the law and the purity
of most seeds is now guaranteed. The
question naturally arises in the mind
Of farmer,-Should a seed be strictly
pure and if not, how nearly pure should
it be?
The purity Of seeds varies greatly
with their kind. 1t is possible 20 grow
timothy seed so clean that it SHALL
carry practically no foreign weed seeds.
1t is not as easy to grow any Of the
other grasses or clovers 50 clean.
There is no need for the sower to ever
buy timothy seed that is much less
than 99.5 per cent pure. Samples have
been examined by the Station the pres
ent year which contained not 4 single
foreign harmful ed.
quently carry as much as one per cent
OF foreign matter, although these i'm
purities are usually comparatively
harmless. In many Of the low grade
red clovers which are only 95 per cent
pure, it sometimes happens that large
part Of the Impurities are harmless. 1t
is. however. poor policy for the sower
to buy red clover seed that is less
than 9S per cent pure. The best grades
OF alsikc clover will run about $50 per
cent pure on the average. 1t is doubt
full if the purchaser should buy an
alsike whose purity is less than JI.J per
cent.
]&edtOp is the most difficult seed of
all. 1t viii, Of course, contain more or
less chat. 1t is difficult to grow red
top free from timothy ana the seed
cleaners find it difficult to separate
timothy seed from redt0p after it has
once been introduced. Samples IF red
top carrying as high as l. or even -
per cent VI timothy are not unusual.
II one could hc sure that the impurities
were harmless liE" chaff and timothy,
it might b" safe 10 bag Il ro,ltpp even
as low as ~ yer cent. Unless one is
assured Of the character Of the impuri-
ties, it IS unw Use to buy rrdtop less
than 81 per cent pure.
From the aDOy" it is evident that
in the judgment of the director Of the
Experiment station, it is wise to buy
only high grade seeds that are compar-
atively pure. Not only are the high
grade seeds purer but they are usually
larger, plumper and heavier. more of
them will terminate. ana they make
stronger plants. There IS certainly no
economy in the attempt to save one,
two or even five cents :. pound on tie
purchase of grass seed. Expensive as
seed is, it is comparatively Il small
itern in seeding down. when the cost of
labor and fertilizer arc taken into con
SideratiOn.

To Make Use CT Weeds.

1T is remarkable how many really
beautiful flowers are discarded be-
cause ordinarily they are classed rs
weeds" says Il gardner at the Wash
ington botanical Garden.
He had some spare land at his COM
mand, and It taste for experimenting
started his weed garden" which
turned out to be d great success. He
does not know the Latin names Of all
the outcasts he has gathered i'll. but he
had been noticing for long time I'll
the wild things that just grew
around his flower beds, with the result
that he decided to gather in the ones
that appealed to him most strongly
and transplant them in Il garden Of
their own.
The main reason" he says, that
they attract 50 little notice when
growing by the wayside is that they
are not massed and arranged as
flowers would b. to get the best effect.
Now that is what | have done. y viii

Is Charged With Violation of United
 States Postal Regulations.
 On an affidavit sworn to by Postal Inspector Fred B. Ashton. Constable George B. Lamar. attached to Justice of the Peace B. C. Young's court. was arrested and brought before United States Commissioner John Fillmore yes- terday afternoon charged with a vio- lation of Section 3S93 of the revised statutes of the United States.
 The section referred to has to do with violations of the rules and regulations of the Government postal service.
 Commissioner was extremely busy at the time that Lamar was brought be- fore him. and set the case for Satur- day morning at 10 o'clock. at the same time requiring $500 bond of Lamar. The bond was promptly made by the constable.
 Inspector Ashton. when seen by representative of The Advertiser. de- clined to make a statement regarding the case. Neither would any of the other officials who knew of the specifc charges make statement as to what the violations of the postal regulations consisted of.
 Commissioner Fillmore said that he was very busy at the time of the arr. rest of Lamar. and does not know the nature of the case. or who the com. plainants are. if any. The section of the code quoted in the warrant has to do with the sending of obscene matter through the mails.

 Tuscumbia. Dee. 2--(Special. l-There promises to be lively fight in Cher okee next month over the dispensary established in that town last July There has been some opposition to the dispensRFias ever since they were created in Colbert County and the op- position has developed to the point where the "antis" are preparing to test their strength in the election for town officers In Cherokee next month.
 The new prohibition law in Alaba- ma does not authorize an election on the subject of dispensaries but the towns and cities in Colbert County can elect councils opposed to the the dis pensary and have the power to put 1t out of business by electing city or town officials who are opposed to it.
 The law creating the dispensaries does not compel the councils to op- crate them and the "antis" think they see way of getting rid of the one at Cherokee by electing a mayor and board of aldermen opposed to it's op- eration in the same manner that the dispensary a tFlorence was abandon ed two or three years ago by the election of a city council antagonis- tic to the 6ispensary principle, which resulted In the overthrow of the dis pensary at Florence.

Local Dealers Not Yet Able to Sell Pro-
 ducts any Cheaper.
 While there have been reports Of general tumble of prices in turkeys, beef. eggs. butter and canned stuffs in general in the large cities of the East and West, especially New York and Chicago, Montgomery has not as yet felt the decrease and will in all probability not feel either decided decrease or increase very soon.
 When interviewed yesterday prom inent butcher of the city said that the lowering of prices on beef in the large cities had not affected Montgomery as yet. and in his opinion would not do so at an early date. Retail prices in Montgomery are already very close to the wholesale ones. and there is small probability that there will be a reduce ton in the wholesale prices of beef in Montgomery or vicinity"
 Butchers and green grocers make less on a high market than on a low one. and none of them have yet felt their margins of increase. It is the belief of local retailers that the re- ported falling of in prices was done for the purpose of holding up the cat tie raisers, and forcing down their prices.

.Rip Van wipk,e.,

Rip Van Wrinkle" that lovable yae- abond, who gets more than he deserves. was at the Grand yesterday, still iden- tiled with the name and fame of Jef- ferson. That the son rather than the more famous father plays the bibu- lous Dutchman does not detract from the merits of the performance.
 In the two performances yesterday Thomas Jefferson demonstrated by right of ability as much as by right of inheritance that he is entitled to wear >old Rips clothes and drink out of Rips old cups. Both audiences were generous in their marks of appreciation of the younger Jefferson's work and well they. might be. The humor with which the elder Jefferson lightened and beautified the weak character of the likable Rip and on which his fame was founded, is in evidence in the clean cut and intelligent work of the younger Jefferson.
 It was to be expected that Thomas Jefferson would ae closely as he could, follow the lines as his father taid them down. Dressed like Rip he was remarkably like the originator of this, the most famous character of an American play His profile is much like the clean cut features of his fa- ther, so familiar to the American the- atre-gotng public and so loved by it.
 There is some mysterious charm about this simple and strong play. Mel 0droma is in it and in any other play 1t would be cheap melodrama. But the thing goes home somehow. It gets right overI the foot lights. Rip makes the crowd laugh and cry. That's all there Is about it. How he does 1t doesn't matter, but he does it.
 Miss Maggie Moore has played Gretchen so much that her name is associated with the part, in the way that the name of Jefferson Is asso- ciated with Rip. She seems to play 1t better each time. Her work yester- day probably could not be improved upon.
 The children were excellent The parts were taken by the McVine chill dren, one of them a mere tot. But they did beautifully. The mountain scenes are about as fine as anything ever seen in Montgomery The sun rise on the mountains. with the skill full use of the electric switches, was so beautiful that the crowd broke in- to spontaneous applause when 1t was unveiled The elder Jefferson cer- tainly had no stage settings so beauti- ful as those in the midst of which his son does his work

DEATH OF MRS. RICHARD
 BANKS SHOCKS COMMUNITY

Was One of Nest Loved and Admired
 Women of Ala bnma.
 The death of Mrs. Richard c. Banks at, at an ss,. safiy r hQur yesterday morning scenes one of the most beloved women of Montgomery. While those of her immediate househeld and connection have been appfehensive on account of her health for some time. yet her dee th was . great shock to the community at large.
 Mrs. Banks was born in Tuscumbia and was 37 years of age. As Miss Bessie Hillman when a young lady she enjoyed great popularity not only at Her home but in other cities and towns in Alabama and Tennessee. She was possessed of superior order of intel lect and knew how to make friends of all, old and young who came within her range.
 Most of her fourteen years of mar ried life was spent in this city and her influence for good has been felt in many circles. Few women have done more In the way of helpfulness as well for those who could in a way help themselves as for those who were in direr need of help. She was gentle and unobtrusive, but her good works sent comfort and hope to many sorrowing ones.
 She was consecrated Christian wo- man. For many years she was g. com municant of St. Johns (Episcopal) Church, and to no call for service did she turn unwilling hand or heart As member of the Guild of Christian Service and as secretary and treasurer of the St. Johns branch of the wo- mans Auxiliary she gave much of her time and attention and all can test fly as to what she accomplished.
 Mrs. Banks Is survived by her hus- fAF q of fGt ~v,t.ns aa...- in California. a brother who lives in Tuscumbia, and one who lives In In- dian Territory.
 The funeral services will take place at St. Johns Episcopal Church at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

STILL CLASSIFYING BIDS.

Washington, Dec. 3-~At o'clock this afternoon. Secretary Cortelyou stated that the classification of the bids for the new Panama bonds had proven . greater task than was anticipated and 1t would be impossible to make any statement in regard to them until to- morrow afternoon when he hopes to be able to make definite statement as to the amounts and prices to be paid by the successful bidders.
 No intimation was given as to the exact price for the bonds but the i'm pression prevails that 1t will be close to 104
