 August of last year gave this market receipts of 1,500 bales of cotton, but this year not bale was marketed in August. The crop of cotton was very promising in August but the farmers are now bringing in most doleful reports. They claim that the crop has been cut off one-fourth by the boil worm and now the crops are filled with the caterpillar. Poisoning is general in this section and the caterpillar will probably be exterminated in most crops. Cotton is coming in very slowly here and the indications are that a false report was made to tho government of the crops in the black belt.

BOOK BY ALABAMA WOMAN.

oSS0 0 \ x1A<10xA&zA3 W SA&~@~s'
 The Washington Post has the following to say of a book by a woman who Is well known in Alabama, Mrs. Mary Lindsey Watkins. Mrs Watkins Is the wife of Mr. Robert H. Watkins who Is Washington correspondent of The Adver- tiser.
 The Post says:
 Tt is a decided relief. in these days when strenuousness seems to have be- come dominant in literature as well as in the lives of men and women, to find a love story of the sweetly gracious kind. charming peaceful and natural. Such a story comes to us in My Lady Prim- rose,' leaf from the life of ruggedly honest men and fair women in the South land. The scene of Mrs. Watkins's story is laid in Alabama, and her characters are strong, loving and natural It is a picture of love in surroundings that bar hate, viciousness, and the petty enmities that form so large a part in circles hardened by society's demands and the exactions of business careers. Fragrant is probably the best term to describe the dominant tone of the story. which is most told. Mrs. Watkins Is the daughter of the late Governor Robert B. Lindsay, of Alabama, and wife of Mr. Robert H. Watkins, the well-known Washington correspondent"

Railroads and + orestry.

The railroads OF the United States
use ever year 100000 new ties to
replace old ones. Timber suitable for
ties has become scarce, and prices have
increased year by year For twenty
years railroad managers have been
considering the question OF timber sup
ply for ties, and have been led into
experiments in forest culture ior
profit.
In the West several OF the stronger
railway companies have groves OF ca
talpa old enough to give them trees
for ties. The older companies are ex-
tending the catalpa plantations, and
other companies, satisfied with the ex-
perilnents, are putting out trees by the
hundred thousand.
The catalpa is OF rapid growth, the
wood is durable. and the influence OF
.he planting experiments on a large
scale OF the railroad companies has
been a practical demonstration OF the
advantages OF forest culture for profit.
II it is profitable for corporations to
grow catalpas it is profitable for indi-
viduals to grow them.
