Selecting Cottonseed. Secretary J, H. Connell of the Texas Cotton Convention has is¬ sued a circular bearing directly upon the selection of seed, es¬ pecially in the boll-weevil dis¬ tricts of the State. Texas rail¬ roads have recently agreed to ex tencPthe reduced rate on cotton¬ seed intended for planting and shipped from points east of the Mississippi river to Texas, and the fact is now assure 1 that a large per cent, of the farmers liv¬ ing near .the railroad towns in the boll-weevil infected district have engaged or purchased through merchants or banka large or small supplies of seed for use next spring. The seed are now being received and parceled out as they arrive. Mr. Connell says: “The peculiar conditions ex¬ isting in the cottonseed trade at this time will justify the late buy¬ ers of cottonseed in requiring the names of ginners and growers of seed in every case that the buyer pays a high price for what is claimed to be ‘extra select and improved oottonseed.’ It could not be expected that a ceitificate of this nature could be supplied with gin-run seed, nor would it be necessary to require such a statement in buying of origina¬ tors of a given variety, or of their agents. This precaution, if tak¬ en, will enable the Buyer tobheck up or make record of the soil, va¬ riety of cotton and other condi¬ tions that control earliness which will be of value in connection of % the steed he may wish to buy an¬ other year from the sanao terri¬ tory . “This precaution grows more necessary as the cotton season advances and select seed true to type are scarce. It is with some of these facts in view that the Dallas Jobbers’ Cottonseed Sup¬ ply Co. was orgaiized by the business men of Dallas to serve the cotton-growing interests of the State and procure for the grower seeds of two grades; first, select seed, true to type; second, gin-run seed. The business men in a number of Texas towns have served their communities in this capacity. The Dallas business men offer their services and the judgment of their Texas agent, now in North Carolina, «o the en¬ tire State. We learn that the Houston business men may in the near future perfect a similar organization for bringing in seed at actual cost price from tne eas¬ tern territory for the benefit of the cotton-gruwer living in the region tributary to Houston. Sucn organizations are acting indepen¬ dently of the T 'xas Cotton Con¬ vention, but are adopting the ad-, vice laid down by the convention at its recent meeting. “Any general alarm that may now be sounded will only check the demand for improved seed in the remote cotton-growing dis¬ tricts, where the movement is now reaching. The executive com¬ mittee of the cotton convention has been unable to hear of any misrepresentations or frauds practiced against the purchasesr of seed. No such accusations have been made in any instance. In the nature of the case, facts bearing upon alleged misrepre¬ sentations cannot be presented conclusively until the cotton crop is grown from the seed in ques¬ tion. “As a matter of fact, Texas farmers in the boll-weevil district can hardly suffer any injury in planting eastern cottonseed, even the ugh it is actual gin-run. This grade of seed is far better than Texas common seed for the boll weevil districts. The small cost County Directory. Superior Court Officers. W N Spence, Judge.

Care should be tak¬ en, of course, to pay only gin-run seed prices for such Cottonseed. “Some of .the warnings appear¬ ing in the press are merely the result of the sharp competition now on among dealers who have large quantities of eastern gin rnn seed on hand. There are a number of quick-maturing cot tdhs in the market from Alabama Georgia and the Carolinas bid¬ ding for Texas trade, several of which are of practically the same value, and some of the varieties that are not known to Texas farmers will prove well suited to boll-w eevil conditions. Besides these' foreign kinds, there are several Texas varieties with staunch supporters.”—Manufac¬ turers Record. That District Court Bill. Prom the Dawson News. The bill of Congressman Griggs now introduced in the national house of representatives, which has for its object the establish¬ ment of a division of the federal court with headquarters at Al¬ bany, is becoming a subject of absorbing interest, especially in some cities and towns which have no direct interest in the matter. The latest protest comes from Macon, which is not only in the judicial district in which a ma¬ jority of the comities that will be affected are located, but it is more than a hundred miles distant. The Macon chamber of commerce has passed a resolution request¬ ing Senator Bacon and Congress¬ man Bartlett to oppose the meas ure, and it is announced that a met ting of the Macon bar will al¬ so be held to join in the protest. Under the present conditions these gentlemen get some busi¬ ness in a spiall number of the counties that will form a part of the new division, and it, is per¬ haps natural that they should consider prospective fees instead of the convenience of the people of this section. Under the bill the proposed new division will embrace the counties of Baker, Clay, Early, Quitman, Randolph. Terrell and Webster taken from the western division of the northern district with headquarters at Columbus and the counties of Berrien, Col¬ quitt, Decatur, Mitchell and Worth from the southwestern di¬ vision of the southern district. Most of thesecounties have sent Judge Griggs strong petitions favoring the new court at Albany while two or three have reques¬ ted that they be left out. The wishes of these latter counties will be respected, and they will not be disturbed, hut the pro¬ tests of outsiders will not be re¬ garded. The new division will be form¬ ed and embrace the counties whose people want it, regardless of outside interference. Every Bottle Warranted.

Editor Yerby’s Address. W. E. Yerby, President nf the Alabama Press Association, in his annual adcjress recently, gives utterance to a few truths in a out shel, which impresses one that human nature is the samq the world over:—Henry County Weekly. “Before closing these remarks I wish to say that an editor is a man who is supposed to knqw everybody, but I wish to mention a few things that we do not know and may never know. “1. No newspaper man knows why it is that the worst enemy the paper has is the person who contributes nothing to its support. “2 Nor do we know how it comes about that among the pa¬ per’s most constant andj harshly critical readers is the man who never subscribes. . “3. Nor do we know why an editor is expected to publish im¬ moderately long obituaries, free of charge, extoling the virtues, real or supposed, of some one who never in his lifetime contributed a cent to the paper’s existence. “4. And it is beyond our ken why some business men will pay more for an ad to one of the fel¬ lows who go around getting up directories, to be stuck up in some hotel or depot, than they spend with their home paper in a year.” AVERY <& COMPANY _ Engines, . 51$ 53 Boilers Forsyth St., Atlavja, ' ’ O', Ga, Irl . l , SawMllIs All Kinds of Machinery.
