There was a wld-j-spread complaint last spring of t ad stands on account of damaged cotton seed. The trouble grows out of carelessness in handling tha s^ed after ginning The custom of seeding cotton before ginning has gone almost into disuse, and the re sult is that the seed are green and frequently damp when they fall from the gin. Allowed to lie in a heap, as is generally the case, they are heated and damaged. This may obviated either by thoroughly drying the cot- tort before gfnnlng, or by moving and stirring the seed after they are ginned. This precaution shdiildalways be tak en with those seed which are Intended for planting. As a rule, first pickings should not be taken for planting unless they are selected. Diseased and injured bolh are the first to open. By taking pains, however, to make selections of fully matured bolls, the seed may be much improved If the first opened bolls are picked by themselves. The early matmlog qualities of the seed are thus Increased—an important con sideration iu protecting it from the cotton worm. to see the arrival of the show trains. Just after John Ring, tba keeper of the elephants, bad gotten tbe old male elephant, Chief, offt of hie ear, he went to the animal’s Mad for tbe purpose of turning him around. Tbe attention of the crowd was attracted by the rather excited voide Of King, and tbe next moment tbe^ saw the enraged nfilmal turn upon bis keeper and crush h!m against the oar. Mr. King sank to the ground wtthoot a groan, and the men who ware wltb him fled precipitately. The crowd also scattered, and the wiideet con fusion followed. The men were tffraid to approach the elephant, and the wounded keeper was allowed-to re main for several minutes on the ground, where be bad fallen. Tbe elephant surveyed the scene for an instant, and giving a shrill, sharp snort, started up the railroad track. As soon as be was out of tbe way, King was taken up and carried to an adjoining house, and physicians sum moned. In the meanttmo the elephant kept up the track, creating consternation all along his route. On account of tbe darkness it was almost Impossible for his pursuers to keep track of btm or to determine his whereabouta. Be fore n party what was nastily organfxed fof the purpose of shooting him could act, some of the circus attaches were after him, taking with ibern Mary, tbe female elephant, and the Boy, another <1 vile elephant. After a slight chase, was ove/taken, the other two ele phants driven up doee to hla, and rfitirdrtrrfe difficulty secured by being chained to tbe other two aiepbants.

Finally, by the vigorous uae of frrtds an i | pitchforks tbe three elapbaoU were mode to take tbeir respective ftfabea and moved on towards tbe teats, Chtra they arrived and were eeCtfreiy fa-teoed. .
