THE PUGILISTS
WILL BE SOME
 GOOD HOT BOUTS
Australian Griffin and Bert Reyes Will Slug Each Other er-Grand
 Ketchell Reception.

There will be a scrap at the Fair mont Athletic club up in the Bronx tonight that will be slugfest from the rugged little Australian feather weight, will travel over the six-round route with Bert Reyes, the hard-hit- ting local boy. Reyes has met and defeated almost all of the light weights in this section of the coun- try and is confident that he will suc- ceed in adding Grifin's scalp to his belt.
 Griffin has been promised match with the winner of the Moran-At- tell battle, which is to take place before Jimmy Coffroth's club in Frisco on Labor day. The Australian has been after Attell ever since he came to this country and has offered to box the champion upon his own terms at 122 pounds, ringside.
 It has been agreed with the ref cree of the Fairmount club that he is not to touch either of the boys during to-night's battle When they -clinch they are to fight themselves loose or. if clinched too long, to break at the command of the referee. This will insure the hottest kind of a battle.
 When Johnny Dohan and Billy Glover meet in the ring tonight at Browns A. C., Rockaway beach. there will be big doings. ..
 Dohan is the only man who ever slipped over a winning punch on Glover and Billy is fairly aching for the chance to wipe out that mark against him.
 In the semi-final Willie Gibbs. Philadelphia featherweight. will box Billy Barrett of New York. There will be three other preliminaries and a wrestling bout.
 The Jeffries Athletic club has ar 1 ranged for a triumphal auto recep- ! tion to Stanley Retchell when he en- !. ters Los Angeles from San Francis co by the auto route next Monday by his trainer. More | than 20 machines will go out from Los Angeles to meet the scrapper, probably so miles from here.
 Among those who have agreed to ! go are James J. Jeffries, Tom Mc- Carey. Baron Long. Hen Berry. Al Jim Morley and other well known sportsmen.

Bring Your Cotton Seed.

We have closed down our
ginneries for the season because
there is no more cotton to gin. ;,
We are paying $40 per ton for
good, sound, dry cotton seed,
delivered at our mill. ;, a.
To those who do not care to
sell their seed for cash We are
offering a strictly high grade
meal in exchange. Our rate of
exchange at the mill is l6oo lbs.
of meal for one ton of seed. 1t
is conceded fact cotton
seed meal is a cheaper and
more effective fertilizer than
cotton seed. According to
chemical analysis of each. 1856
pounds of cotton seed meal
are equivalent to 1000 pounds
of cotton seed, but owing
to the superior mechanical
condition of meal, it is safe to
assume that 800 pounds of meal
are the full equivalent to one ton
of cotton seed, therefore, what
ever excess above 500 pounds of
meal the farmer gets in exchange
for a ton of seed is so much clear
profit to him in comparison with
using the ton of seed directly as
a fertilizer. You can readily see
that by exchanging your SEED
with US you realize nearly 1Oo
per cent on the transaction.
Bring your seed to US and not
make the mistake of getting
inferior meal elsewhere in ex-
change.
Our meal is open for inspec.
ton. Samples sent on applica-
ton.

SELECTION OF seed CORN.
A Correspondent Thinks an Expert.
ment Station Would Help.

Editor The COUNTY RECORD
1t is refreshing to read the article
by Mr. Eaddy OH the selection Of
seed corn. We have read 80 much
of late relative to the new county
schemes, but practically nothing
has appeared in our county paper
concerning the great industry which
supports, the world and makes pos
able the formation of new counties
While I never have believed that
the production of cotton had much
to do with the price of that COM
modify, yet it 10 very apparent that
by far too little attention has been
given to the production of corn and
other grain and forage crops through
out the South.
This is the proper time for max
|iug the sssminatins tests of the ears
intended for seed ss sutlined in Mr.
Eaddy's contribution last week. OF
course only partial results coald be
expected fror, such a tsst to begin
with ears taken from the bin that
have been practically excluded
from the air. for the rast several
mouths. Nevertheless 1t is better
to make the test rejecting the ears
whose kernels show termination
deficiency, that lack uniformity,
size, properly filed butts and tips,
compactness aud uniformity of kerr
mel SIC, &c. This is all can be done
now 50 far as the selection of seed
is concerned, since no one can tell
the stalk that produced the ear and
this has perhaps greater inf uenee
upon the vegetation and reproduc,
tive power of the seed than any and
all other factors. 1t is foi this rea-
son that seed corn-and 1t is more
tru eof corn than any other field crop
should never be purchased except
in the ear and then only from re-
liable breeder; unless the field is ks--
spected in person before the crop iss
harvested. Then, too, the farmers'
ought to be careful concerning tha'
purchase Of seed corn d: high prices
regardless of the name Of the breed.
er unless it be not more than ore
hundred miles distant and even
then disappointment will almost
surely follow if very different sea-
sons obtain. None of our cultiYat.
ed plants responds more quickly and
literally to cultivation and breeding
than does Indian corn, and it is for
this reason that home grown corn ia
always the best for home planting.
bntas suggested by Mr. Eaddy.tbere
are hundreds of directions in which
our corn could be improved and We
need 10 take advantage of the oppor-
tunity.
A new experiment station is about
to be established at Jedburg near
Summerville and its benefits to the
people in that section will he or
may be inestlmable, but no section
of our State would receive as much
from such an institution as would
this, and our representatives should
bestlr themselves towards securing
an appropriation towards that end.t
Nothing appeals more strongly to-
human nature as example and a
model farm would be great thing.
Yours very truly,
LAURENCE H McCuLLoUGH.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
To Retire From Politics.

Few men had political futures so bright as Secretary Cortelyou. but when the head of the treasury department leaves the cabinet. as he is about to do shortly. his public career will be ended. remarked a politician. "Cortelyou is a man of capacity and will doubtless have business offers that will prove more tempting from a pecuniary point of view than any government job. But it was only few weeks ago that the papers of the country were sounding his praises and he was frequently referred to as presi- dental timber. Now there seems to be a coolness between him and his chief which would make it impossible for him to remain a member of the Presidents official family
 And all this appears strange, for Cor te,yoa played a large part in electing MT. Roosevelt He raised a slush fund and managed Eoosevelts campaign in 1904, and the President showed his apprecla- ton of Mir. Cortelyou's services and his loyalty by first appointing him Secretary of Commerce and Labor. then Postmaster General and finally Secretary of the Treasurer. But political friendships are sometimes very uncertain, and laere seems a case of that kind"

Decline In Immiuratlon

Financial trouble occurred in the iAst days of October, but the records of immigration for November do not show any effects from it. More i'm migrants were landed in November last than had ever been landed in a previous November. Nor did the first 10 days of December show any ma terial change in the incoming tide, although the exodus of aliens had be- gun.
 But after the first 10 days of Decem- Der had passed then came stories from Ellis island bearing figures wholly diff ferent. Russian steamers that had averaged 2000 immigrants trip now brought in but 200, and the German and Italian steamers made similar showings. Exaggerated stories of our industrial affairs have been spread Throughout those countries, and con- paratively few immigrants will be brought in during 1908.

Only Quiet At Nlaht.

During the morning and afternoon hours Birmingham impresses a visitor most favorably," said S. J. Hawkins of Cincinnati. 'I have been coming here off and on for ten years. It has seemed to be the livest and solidest town in the south. Its growth and metropolitan progress have been remarked by every one and if crowds on the streets during the business hours mean anything Bir- mingham is more of a city now than ever.
 T have never seen so many people thronging the sidewalks as I observed yesterday and today. The only difference I see in Birmingham in regard to life and stir, as compared with a year ago, is at night. The downtown district used to be wonderfully animated after sup per time, but now the business district is quiet at night. Very few people are on the streets after o'clock. That is readily accounted for by the saloons be- ing closed. I have no unfavorable com ment to make on this situation although I am not prohibitionist I simply make the observation as an incidental fact Birmingham has a great future and many men now living will see it with o0O,OO0 population, and maybe more.'
