SEED SELECTION

The sins of the father are visited
upon the children even unto the
third and fourth generation" This
is especially applicable in the case
of cotton and corn. Get your cot
ton seed from the leavings at the
din and scoop your corn seed from
the leavines in the crib, and the
Biblical adaee will most certainly be
fulfilled. For the amount of time
and labor involved, seed selection
is the most profitable of the farm
er's work.
The question of cotton seed selec-
ton Is very important just now be-
cause of the boll-weevil. The cot
ton belt will suffer very materially
unless earlier and better cotton and
harder varieties Of cotton are
quickly developed.
An early fruitins and early ma
turing variety should be selected
The plant should not have toe
large leaves, should be sturdy and
stocky built. It should be vigorous
and have plenty Of fruit limbs on
the lower half. The joints Of the
fruit limbs and Of the stalk should
be short. The bolls should be large
and storm resisting and the lint
should represent at least 80 l-3 per
per cent Of the cotton
After the stalks have been select
ed, then during picking time be
careful to select seed cotton from
these stalks. The choicest bolls
from near the middle of the stalk
should be selected, Do not select
from the top as the bolls there tend
to mature late Do not select from
near the ground since those boil alb
sorb too much moisture and conse-
quently do not have quite as much
vitality and terminating power
After you have picked your seed
cotton put 1t In a dry place by
payment Of a small sum In addition
to the regular ginning price, special
attention In ginning your seed cot

Phil Medley, boy about II
years of age, was arrested at Bates
vile lately charged with breaking
into the grocery store of Helm &

and was allowed to enter a plea of
guilty to petit larceny. Only Sc

From the Yellville Echo: Last
Friday while playing in the yard
with the other children the little
son of Jim Hudson fell down and
was killed by the fall. There was
just a little black bruise back of
one ear. His easy death is a mys-
terry, as he did not seem to fall on
anything sharp or pointed.
The army worm is said to be doing
great damage to the cotton crop
in Jackson county. A Newport
paper states that formerly the worm
proved great help to the farmers,
who were glad to see it appear, but
this year, instead of stripping the
stalk of its foliage and making pick
ing easier, the worm is fast destroy
ing the bolls.
L. G. Baxter and a companion
came near losing their lives in
White river at Newport several
days ago. They were in a power
launch and did not notice low
hanging ferry cable until it was too
late The cable caught the top OF
the boat and the craft was sent to
the bottom Of the river Neither OF
the passengers could swim, but
they saved their lives by holding to
the cable.
Simon Eason, a negro proprietor
of a restaurant at Batesville, was
arrested one day lately on the
charge of selling whiskey. His trial
is postponed until certain evidence
is collected. AT the last term of
circuit court at Batesville Eason
was convicted in two cases for vio-
lation of the liquor law, but he was
discharged in federal court, the de-
fendant producing sufficient evi-
dence to convince the court that he
was operating under government

A FEW THOUGHTS AS WE PASS

According to the Memphis Com.

peared for service with the smell Of

The Record was agreeably sur
prised last week to receive a copy
of the Mammoth Spring Record,
which paper had been suspended
for a few months. The Record is
edited by Luther Frazier, fine
fellow personally and a fine news
paper man and printer His one
great fault is that he drinks too
much whiskey when the tempta-
ton is open to him-and we want
it understood that we would not
make this statement but for the
fact that Frazier himself acknoWl-
edges the fault through his paper.
But there is always one thing no
ticeable about Frazier's paper: 1t
is a decent home paper and dig
nifes itself by standing for the
best interests of the community,
including the best interests from a
standpoint of morals. In this res
pect Luther Frazier holds the edge
on any hypocrite who will plead
the purity Of his own conduct and
yet use his influence to bring into
the community that thing which
can do nothing but degrade and
disgrace the community. No man
has properly learned the lesson OF
his brothers keeper" If he, boast
ine of his own strength, should set
before his weaker neiehbor that
which corrupts him. We are glad
to Get Frazier's paper again, and
trust we shall have the pleasure OF
reading 1t every week

Two prisoners in the penitentiary
at Indianapolis, Ind, one Of whom
had been in prison forty years, the
other thirty-five, were treated to an
automobile ride one day last week
by the warden of the penitentiary.
But these prisoners, both of whom
are serving life terms, had gone
but a short distance in the free air
until they trembled from fright
and begged to be returned within
the grim walls Of the prison. They
were afraid of the automobile. They
we're afraid of the street cars and
the crowded streets. They looked
with wonder at the tall buildings
and were afraid of them. There is
a great deal of the pathetic in the
lesson of these two prisoners who,
shut out from the world for thirty
five and forty years, are frightened
at the worlds progress and i'm
prOvement when they are permitted
to get but passing glimpse OF it.

well. For four years Mr., Campbell
represented Randolph county in the

Wonderful Shooting of Captain so-
gardus and Dr.. Carver.
Old gentlemen of the period just aft
er the war will tell you sadly that
there are no such shots as there used
to be. In this connection 1t is inter-
esting to note that $1,000 was wagered
against 500 that the champion of the
world could not hit hundred consec-
utive birds. Many amateurs, not TO
speak of professionals, frequently
make such score without arouslng
comment in these days. Captain Bo-
gardus was to be allowed three trials.
If he lost the first two and made the
third the money was his, and, by the
way, he used twelve gauge, 1utl
choke, ten pound gun, and his load
was five drains of black powder with
| No. 0 shot. He loaded his own shells
| or had them loaded according to his
| directions.
While shooting in England his load
was challenged by one of his defeated
| rivals, who asserted that the cham
pion's phenomenal scores were the re-
| suit of his superior shells. The cap
tain suggested that in their next match
both contestants should use his am
munition, to which the Englishmar
eagerly consented The captain was
delighted, for well he knew what woult
happen TO the action of the light ant
delicate English gun under such
charge. Before the match had pro
ceeded very far the Britisher with
drew-for massage.
With the invention and success o
the ball tossing machine a craze 10
ridiculously high scores swept tn
country. Five thousand balls in 90
