following plan was adopted: Issue OF
certificates of deposit to persons having
money on deposit, payable to themselves
or bearer. in sums of So, $40, S20Or more

WORMS IN THE COTTON.
Caterpillars appeared in several cotton
fields in this section about two weeks ago
and it was feared then that they would
do untold damage. but the hot sun of the
past few days has checked them to some
extent. But more fearful and damag-
ing destroyer is fiOurishing on several
farms near this place viz, the boil worm.
Mr.. John w. Gurr, one of the best and
most conservative farmers in this section.
says the boil worms nave destroyed fully
80 per cent. Of the bOlls on his cotton at
this time, and that this worm is increas-
ing very rapidly. They eat all
Of the immatured cotton and seed from
the bolls, regardless of size, just so they
are not opening and leaves them soft and
PUPPY Where one of these worms at
tacks a boil there is no lint left in it to
open.
If these pests increase they will ma
terially decrease the cotton crop in this
section, as the cotton around here is later
than for many years past
FARMERS TAKING IT EASY
The farmers are taking things easy and
say it matters little with them whether
they have any cotton 10 pick or not as
the price is low and the prospects are
that there will be little or no money to
move the crop. Very few of them owe
anything on making this crop and say
they can do without picking it unless
there is some profit in gathering it.
