NO ADVERTISING ON CARS. Instructions Are Received to Tear Off
 All Signs.

By mutual consent the railroads have issued an order instructing their employees to tear all advertising signs off their freight cars. and not to allow them to be placed there in the future. The rule Is rigid, and one railroad will not re- move car from another roads tracks until all of the signs have been taken off.
 This action on the part of the rail- roads will cut out one of the largest free advertising schemes known. Manufact- ure.s and merchants have long enjoyed this privilege, and whenever either of them loaded car they would nail a large sign with their name on 1t on the car.
 These orders were received In Birming- ham S few days ago and have already been put into effect. car with an ad- vertising sign on it is hard to find In the yards here now.

 MT. Pryors attention was called to the rumors in circulation that the boil weeyil had appeared in some sections of the state. In his opinion there are no boil WeeVils in Alabama, nor in any of the territory east of the Mississippi river. He has, himself, examined several sus- piclous bugs, but all have proven to be pea weevfl, which does not damage cot ton, or some other similar insect aIt Is thought by those in charge of boil weeyil investigations" said he, that the pest will eventually cross the Mississippi river In the southwestern portion of Mississippi. though 1t is possible that it might be brought over in cotton products shipped from boil weevl territory. This is be- ing careflfly watched, however and It would have to be a mighty slick weevil to slip through"
 MT. Pryor states that cotton is grad ing exceptionally well this year so far owing 10 the fact that until lately no beating rains have fallen upon the erop As to the outlook for crop he would not express himself
