CATERPILLARs IN COTTON.

Investigations which have secured
reports from nearly every portion of
Dougherty county confirm the state
ment that caterpillars had appeared
and that widespread damage to the
cotton crops was threatened. Judge
+. F. Putney, who is the most ex-
tensive land owner in the county, and
whose annual cotton crop Is $500
bales, reports that an inspection of
his fields reveals the fact that all are
caterpillar infested. Much of the cot
ton is still putting on new growth and
many bolls and squares are In an
immature stage, and the pest will,
therefore. be capable of doing great
injury to the crop. Judge Putney
thinks that unless the planters sue
coed in checking the spread of the
pest, which is not likely on account OF
the wide area affected, the last four
weeks of the season will be practical
ly lost to the crop. This opinion is
shared by farmers and cotton men
generally.

MASTER PLUMBERS ENJoINED
Against Compelling Boycott of
Vandiver in Atlanta.


Atlanta, Aug. 29.-Opon application
of NJ. C. Vandiver, Judge j. II. Lump
kin, to-day issued a temporary injunc-
ton against the Atlanta Association
of Master Plumbers, restraining them
from interfering with the business of
the complainant by compelling a boy
colt upon him on the part of the sup
ply houses.
Vandiver charges a conspiracy on the
part of the Master Plumbers Associa-
ton, and brings into the suit the mas
ter plumbers of the state. and the
United States as well, holding that the
whole have formed a conspiracy to
prevent those who are not members
of the association from doing any bust
ness. The method is said TO be to
refuse TO trade with such supply
houses as furnish goods to those not
members of the association. d. A.
Farrell, president of the State Master
Plumbers Association, denies that any
such boycott is practiced.
The hearing of the question of MAX
ing the injunction permanent will be
had the latter part of September.
