FL Paso, Jan. 27.-It has been seven
years since habitues of the border
bull rings have Witnessed such a brutal
display as was seen in the arena at
Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, opposite FL Paso
this evening.
Seven years ago there was a battle be-
tween a lion and a bull. in which the lion
tore the bull to pieces and ate the quiver-
ing flesh of the vanquished beast: to-day
a buffalo from the plains of North Da-
kota battled for life against a fierce long
horned bull from the Terrazas ranch in
Chihuahua, and both are dead
TO-day's battle was worse than the
other, for the animals were about evenly
matched. and they fought until both drop
ped in their tracks, their bodies practical
ly torn TO pieces IL was battle that
recalled the days of the Coliseum at
Rome in the time Of the Caesars.
WOmen-and there were many visiting
women in the audience-had 70 be taken
from the ring at sight Of the conflict. and
men turned their faces away. The ami

Fatal Shooting in Whining
ton.

Wilmington special il Char
lotte Observer: M. H. Bryan,
son of former policeman, was
shot and perhaps fatally wound
ed late this afternoon by Il. N.
Simmons, a carpenter. The men
were around the polls in the
fifth ward and had retired to a
rear room in Hall's drug store.
They had drink together and
then began jibing one another
about which was the best man.
One word brought on another
and Bryan told Simmons that il
be jumped on him, he had better
make peace with his God or
words to that effect; containing a
yelled threat to shoot.
Simmons knocked BRYAN
down and the latter drew pis-
tol. Simmons drew his and fired
upon Bryan, twice the ball en-
tering Brpan's breast and the
other grazing his head Both ran
out Of The store and Simmons
gave himself up. Bryan was
found about two blocks from the
scene of the shooting and sent to
the hospital. where, it is stated ,
he cannot live. Bryan is unmar-
ried. Simmons has wife and 8
children.

and one of the most inviting and

the breeding of animals. 1ndi-

are so hume Gus that the farmer
finds consid rable difficulty in
determining the best varieties
for planting under his soil, eli
ma'ic and iltural conditions.
One very >er Gus obstacle in the
way Of the individual farmer in
his efforts 10 secure the best vari-
ETY. Tor hi use is the attitude of
the farmer himself, or his failure
to have Il we'll fixed and clear
unders anding of those things
which constitute near approach
to the perfect or ideal character
istics that sGould be possessed
by he chest variety. A va
riety is any hing but constant
or unvarying quantity, for seeds
of the same variety procured
from differ, ut localities and
grown on The same farm and
same sol and treated as nearly
alike as possible, may vary fifty
or more per cent in yield. Va.
rieties have troug tendencies to-
ward variati IN among individual
plants ThA.e variations may or
may net be desirable and the in
discriminate selection of seed or
seed select n without due regard
to the individual may increase
In the progeny the tendency to-
wards unie irab'e variation. On
the other hand the most careful
selection from individuals of one
generation should not be expect
ed to controi in the next the good
quantities serving AS the basis
for the selection, since in these
selected individuals are tenden.
cies inheritt d from hundreds of
ancestors that were very far
from the ideal. Selection for
the upbulding of a variety or
strain must be continued through
a number Of years should al
ways be cerried on-and there
must be a fixed ideal closely fol
lowed. ThH development of a
variety or strain of variety is
a product of the human mind ex
pressed through a number of
generations of plants.
NAME is LITTLE-YIELD IS EVERY
THING.
Varietal names are of far less
consequence than is supposed
and the corn selected for grow
ing a crop should be productive,
uniform and adapted to the soil
and climate where the corn is TO
be grown. The name of varie-
ty may mean much of little. The
farmer wishes a corn that will
give him the greatest number of
bushels rather than a variety
with a DOT ular name, and he
wants cot on that will from the
lint produced upon an acre or a
number OF acres.
A very great number of cot
ton and corn variety tests have
been conducted by the Southern
Experiment Stations since their
organization about twenty years
ago, and with remarkable results

varieties. They seem to rise,
culmlnate and decline. New
varieties take the place of the
older ones in many localities, and
the newer ones take the place of
these The same seems to be
true of corn varieties, though the
elastic type represented by the
Marlboro, Albemarle, Mosby and
Blunt, stands highest in favor.
The varieties of this type have
two or more medium to small
ears with grains short rather
than long. The stalks are about
the average in size for Southern
corns and this type seems to be
not only the favorite in the South
but to excel in yield of corn. A
variety of corn should be of 10.
cal origin or at least grown To-
cally for a length of time suffi.
cient to insure thorough accli-
nation.
The writer once collected con-
siderably more than one hundred
samples Of corn Of number of
varieties from all over the corn
gro wing section of the United
States. Among these samples
we've five secured locally. Four
out of these five were among the
five samples that gave the high
est yield. The best corn of the
future will be strain carefully
bred and selected in the locality
where the crop is to be grown.
Ii each farmer should post him
self as to the best methods neces-
sary to the proper growing of
seed corn and grow his own seed
In accordance, with accepted
principles and practices, only a
few years would pass until the
South doubled its yield without
increasing the area planted.
COTTON AT 20 CENTS A POUND.
The types of cotton now grown
differ from the types more popu
lar twenty years ago. The old
Dixon, Peterkin, Zilner and
Peerless types may continue un,
der new names and bear evidences
OF improvement, but the varie-
ties or strains of the future will
be of longer staple and yield
more per acre. Of the short sta
pie varieties, the Toole, Texas
Oak, Excelsior, Moss and others
of this type are now popular in
South Carolina, and for the past
few ears the Toole and Texas
Oak have led at the South Caro-
lima Experiment Station in point
Of yield. The long staple upland
types are rapidly growing in po-
pular favor and the prediction is
believed to be we'll founded that
the next few years will find the
long staple upland cottons grown
more than the short. These cot
tons have been developed so that
the yield compares favorably
with the best and they often
bring a premium of from FIVE to
ten cents per pound more than
the short staple types. Florado-

Under new law it is required that
all outgoing mails shall be carefully
weighed. The order has been effect
i've since July lst. The total weight
OF the mails leaving Denison during
July was 6991 pounds. Of this 27l7
pounds was equipment. The weight of
first-class matter was 7O2 pounds.
This average at least so cents a pound
for postage and probably more as
the rate is two cents per ounce or
fraction thereof and the average letter
weighs much less than a ounce.
The weight Of second class matter
was 3243. This class includes the
local papers. ll85 pounds of this was
carried free by the government to

matter amounted to 179 pounds and
the fourth class to 149. twenty pounds

been raised from $1,000 to S1lOO.
The postal sales at the Denison

month last year. This shows healthy
growth and is very good for suppos-
edly dull month. According to
letter received by Congressman Con-
ner, the delay in establishing the ad-
