A destructive, boll worm has appear cd in the. cotton of Blob and AutauGa counties So destructive is this worm that farmers in those counties have become apprehensive. Great fields Of cotton 1t Is said have been devastated by this worm.
 Samples of the worm and it's deadly effect upon the cotton bolls were brought to the city yesterday by Au- tauga county farmers. They say that the ravages of the worm are general and if he continues to increase in num- bers as he has done in the past two weeks great harm will be done the cotton crop in middle Alabama.
 The worm is of course distinct from the famous boil weevil which for the past six years has been menace to thel great staple of the South. Still so far as the damage goes the worm appears to be about as effectiye as the boil weevil could be.

Ala, the inventor of a cotton seed and guano distributor. has just been made with the Belyeu- -LukeF foundry of this place, stipulating the minimum of two thousand machines to be manufactured for the coming season.
 It is the intention of the inventor to erect his own plant at this place for the extensive output of at least ten thousand machines a year, beginning with the season of 1910. It Is said this will be the only roller bearing fertilizer distributor on the American market.
 A suit for slo,oo0 has today been filed in the Alexander City Circuit Court against the Central of Georgia Railroad by the administratrix, Geor- gia V. Finch, for the killing of Mrs. Aletha' ]. Allen on the first day of August within the corporation of Alex. ander City. Mrs. Allen was nearly seventy years old and was struck by the engine of a messenger train.

Ecypt's Wonderful PROGRESS.

The progress of Egypt's commercial
in the last 20 years has
been most marked. The cotton crop
alone in that time has more than dou-
bled. In spite of the large reductions
of taxation the revenue last year was
the largest ever collected in one year
The great wealth of Egypt lies in her
agricultural esources-cotten, oil
seeds, sugar and other crops. These.
in turn, depend upon the Nile FLOOD.
With the Nile regulated and under
control by the immense system of
reservoirs and dams, with fellaheen
freed from excessive taxation, and
with a network of light railways, rem
dering the produce of the country ac-
cessible to foreign markets, the pros
pect of Egypt is placed on a more
solid basis than in the past.

AN ELECTION
|N'MAY
Grand Rapids Pupils Will Vote
For a State Flower

Not all the spring elections are con-
hned to the month of April. The poll
sical spring elections are held in that
month. but other elections deemed of
as great Importance by the children of
the schools of the state will be held in
the month Of NAV In that month of
1898 the children of the state voted on
their choice for the state tree, the
maple, pine, oak, elm and many other
varieties being candidates for this po-
sition of honor. The result of that
contest has just been announced in the
state manual which is issued by the
school department each year for the
Arbor Day exercises. The sturdy oak
was believed to be the favorite, but
when the ballots were counted it was
found that the maple was far in the
lead, securing theivotes of nearly 20
900 more children than did the oak.
This year the children of the state
will be given an opportunity to state
their preference for state flower. Ar
Dor Day comes on May s.
The parochial schools will be asked
to join with the public schools in the
contest which promise to be a spirited
one. In this interesting contest the
state authorities have named eighteen
candidates for the honor of being the
sayorite flower of the school children of
the great state of Wisconsin. These
candidates are.

NEW RUL|NClON
POST CARDS

The souvenir post card collectors
will be delighted with a new ruling
which has been made by the post
master general. Owing to the fact
that numerous complaints have been
filed, the head of the department has
issued an order that all postotfices dis
continue stamping post cards at the
Office of address.
Hundreds of handsome cards are re-
ceived at the local office daily and
under the former ruling it was neces-
sary to stamp them with the reeula-
.tion stamp with which ali mail re.
'ceived is stamped. This not only dis
figured the beauty of the card, but
sometimes almost obliterated the
sprettiest part of it.
Under the new ruling, the cards will
'be stamped only on the side upon
which the stamp appears.
