Abundant Rumore, But
Reliable News.

London, Oct 19 -The Daily News
Capetown correspondent says : "It
is rumored here that news has reach
ed Deaax jonction that the Boers
attacked Mafeking in force, but were
repulsed The defenders, seeing the
enemy retreating, pushed them for
some distance, allowing themselves
to be driven in by the Boers, who,
eager to retrieve their position, again
advanced to the attack and were
drawn over Lyddite mines laid for
the defense of the town. It ie re
ported that 1,500 Boers were killed
by the explosion.
"It is reported from Delagoa bay
that the Swazi king, Banu, is collect*

F. rst Serious Battle of Cai
paign Fought at Glen
coe.
Glencoe Camp, Oct. 20, 2 50 p i
;-After eight hours of continuo
heavy fighting, .Talana bill w
carried by tbe Dublin Fusileers ai
tbe King's Rifles under cover of
well served artillery fire by the <Thi
teentb and Sixty ninth batteries
The, Boers, who threatened tl
British rear, have retired. The figi
was almost an exact counterpart
thai; at Majuba Hill, except tbat tr
positions of the Boer and B ri tis
forces were reversed
Geo. Symons was severely but nc
dangerously wounded. Afternoon
Toe battle today bas been a brilliai
success Tbe Boers got a revere
which may possibly, for a time s
any rate, check all aggressive a<
tion.
The British artillery practice in th
early part pf the day decided tb
battle, The seizure of Dundee Hil
by the Boers was a surprise for al
though the pickets bad been exebang
ing shots all night, it was not until i
shell boomed over the town into tb
camp that their presence was dis
povered, then she i is came fast
The bill was positively alive with tnt
swarming Boers, still the Britisl
artillery got to work with magnificen
energy and precisiou.
The batteries from the camp tool
up positions to the south of the iowr
and after a quarter of an hour'
magnificent firing, silenced the gun
on the biiis
The correspondent could see shelli
dropping among the Boer pieces witfc
remarkable accuracy and doing tre
mendcus execution, for the enemy
were present in very large numbers
and in places considerably exposed.
The storming of the position by
the King's Royal Rifles and the Dub
lin Fosiieers was one of tbe roost
magnificent sights ever witnessed.
The firing of the Boers wa6 not 6o
deadly as might have been expected
froid the troops occupyi g such an
excellent position ; but tbe infantry
lost heavily going up the hili, and
ouly the consummately brilliant way
in which Gen Symons had trained
them to fighting of this kind saved
them from being swept away. In
deed the hill was almost inaccessible
to the storming party, and any hesi
tation would have lost the day Tbe
enemy's guns, so far as the corres
pondent could see, were ail aban
doned, for the Boers bad no time to
remove them A stream of fugitives
poured down the hillside into the
valley, where the battle went ou with
no abatement
Gen Symons was wounded early
in the action, and the command then
devolved on Gen Yule It is feared
Gen Symons is fatally hurt
The enemy as they fled were fol
lowed by the cavalry, mounted in
fantry and artillery. The direction
taken was to the eastward. At the
latest reports the cavalry had not
returned
Some say that four and some say
five guns were captured The Boer
artillery firing was weak A lot of
plugged shells were used
Although the enemy's position
was carried soon after I o'clock,
scattered firing went on almost all
afternoon
v The British losses are very severe,
but those of the Boers are much
! heavier.
Tbe fiual rash wes made with a
triumphant yell, and as the British
troops charged to close quarters the
enemy tamed and fled, leaving ali
their impediments and guns behind
them.
While this was going on, one bat
tery of artillery, the Eighteenth Hus
sars, and the mounted infantry, with
a part of the Leicester regiment, got
on v the enemy's flank and as the
Boers streamed wildly town the
bilis, making for the main road, they
found their retreat bad been cut off,
but they raiiled for a whiie, and there
was severe firiDg, with considerable
loss to each side. Many of the enemy
surrendered.
A rough estimate places the Brit
ish losa at 250 killed or wounded, and
that of the Boers at 800
A newspaper correspondent states
that through his glasses, during the
fighting today,- he noticed how much
the Boers seemed to be nonplused by
the tactics of the imperial troops,
especially of the well drilled, swift
moving horsemen. The enemy are
still, as of old, a mob They are
without horses and forage and many
of them rely for focd on what they
can obtain by looting Their ani
mais are mostly in a wretched condi
tiou.
It is understood that before today's
battle several Boers had left their
commandos and gone home to their
farms and many othe s are now likely
to follow.
The movements of the commandoes
in the Utrecht district are somewhat
mysterious
It ia supposed they have some idea
of getting around between this place
and Ladysmith MaDy Boers are
reported to be falling back on their
old positions They have been rais
i g a series of fortification between
Sandspruit and Dannhauser, their ob
ject be Dg to contest the grand ad
vance of the imperial troops
Near Sandspruit camp they have a
laager with several pieces of artil
lery, and another behind Yolksrust.
There are guns on Mount Fogwani,
overlooking Laing's Nek and Ingogo
heights are fortified.
Growing Seed vs. BuyiDg
Seed
The South is the bonanza seed
market of this country. We buy
ail kinds of seed. We boy very
maoy very hurtful and pestiferous
seeds
We are the dumping ground for
all the oid, refuse, rejected. uneale
able seed We have paid so little
attention to this business that we
are no judges of seeds Many of us
do not know good seed from
sorry Nor do we know that we
can often grow better seed than we
buy. Nay, we have been taught to
believe that if a seed grows here it
is not as good as if it grew in some
other clime Our ignorance along
this line, and oar belief of things that
are false, costs is annually rallions of
dollars We bny seed at high prices
when we could have grown 88 good
and often better at a very small cost.
WHO IS TO BLAME ?
We are not bringing any railing
accusation against any man or set
of men The seed dealers a-e as
honest as other men. But there; are
tricks and tricksters io all trades
We must look to our interests.
We are simply stating facts that
have fallen under our observation.
We have 6old seed, we have bought
seed. We know what we are talking
about.
We buy turnip-seed, cucumbers
beets, radishes, and so on through
the list of garden seed. These seed
will mature here just as well as any
where.
We pay hundreds and thousands
of dollars for Eastern Irish potatoes
every year. This is worse than use
less. The potatoes grown here are
better. This is emphatically true of
our second crop. We have tried this
for twenty years with gratifying euc
cess.
But very many of us go further
than this ; we actually buy our heavy
farm seed. We buy barley, iye,
wheat, oats, grass, corn and cotton
seed And yet we call ourselves
farmeis
If it were possible to reetore to the
South the money paid for seed since
the war, we would be the richest
section of this country. Why, if
any schemer offers us corn that grew
so far away that it wiil only produce
"Lincoln corn," or cottonseed from
Africa even, called limbless, and from
Egypt called lintless, or from India
and called bollees, we just buy right
along.
Farmers, grow your o yn seed, and
select them with care. Many men
have grown rich by doing this. Many
of the finest varieties of various
species have been developed here in
tho South.
Young man. are you hunting a
profitable position i Then let me
say get a farm, and make it a seed
farm.

pendence along this iine -Southern
