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

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.
The anrtnala moffcfl Rtong quietly un
til they came to a pump, when a de
termined effoit of Chief compelled the
pfcbeasloa to halt tong enough f t
him to fftt n drlqk of wefee. In the
movements about th« pfiufptbwwhalns
became entangled, and the three be
gan to move round and rouno, draw
ing them graduffify tnyvther. Tbd old
elephant's temper was Again (nottsed/
and he begun to bellow.’ At this tbe
crowd becuui*! again psolc-atrlukea,
and beat a coofOsod retreat. 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. .
King, tb3 keeper, Hngured until if
o'clock that night, wbeb be died and
was buried yet ter Jay afternoon, af'er
thoc re i8 performaners were over, lie
was Uia keeper of the animals for
several years, and was qever afraid of
them. TD« Mg etepanat WHa kla aat,

would lift▼ a ko< okad bird down, os she

and tha Boy are as genUe aa lam 1st
and perfectly hanulcaa.
John Low tow, the down, said they
bad several other ureW in tbe show
who could take cate of kfiQ. Iftiwlow
said be was 3aU.s(i*d that the elephant
didn't know it was King when be
made at him, as the keeper had abso
lute control of him.
aays tbe elephant was to have been
shot yesterday. Several years ago
