COTTON WORM HAS
 MADE APPEARANCE Wilcox County Farmers Are
 Fighting It POISON WILL BE USED
Much Regret Is Expressed In Selma Upon Receipt of the News of Engineer Wallace's
 Death.

Selma, July 26.--(Special)-Th first cotton worm has reached the city, a merchant at Snow Hill in Wilcox coun- ty sending an order to a grocery firm in Selma for one hu dred pounds of Paris green. The worms are said to have ar rived on farms near Allenton and while only in small quantities. steps are to be taken to kill them at once.
 The boil weevil is a newly discovered pest, but the cotton worm is an old enemy to the plant. The latter can be eradieated by the quick use of poison, and the farm CTS in Wilcox do not propose to wait until it is too late.
 Regret Over Rash Act.
 The news of the rash deed by which engineer Wallace ended his life in the Waddel house in Birmingham was re- ceived in Selma with profound sorrow here by his many friends and associates. It is stated that he has been in bad health and has had i'll luck following him for some time, and this is ascribed as the reason for the suicide.
 
 Engineer Wallace was on the engine which collided near Dogwood between Birmingham and Wilton last December with another engine run by Engineer Jack Scully whose death occurred soon after wards from poison received in the house of Pearl Scott, who was sentenced to twelve years in the penitentiary for ad- mnistering the dope and whose case was affirmed last week by the supreme court Both he and Scully were slightly injured in the wreck, Wallace being sent to his home at Bessemer and Scully coming here.
