NEW VESTRY FOR
 GREENVILLE CHURCH

Greenvile April 2o.-(Special.) )-The fol- lowing vestrymen of the local Episcopal church have been elected: Messrs. B.
 -5nshaw. o. R. Porter, A. w. Metcalf, D. D. Metcalf, F. c. Parker, F. M. Pierce. C. c. Henderson, J. B. Powell, Jr., and
 j., H. Wilson. The Episcopal church in this city has been without a rector for several months and it is expected that
 one will be called in the near future. MT. J. N. Mcbride, manager of the Peo- ples Cotton warehouse of this city, has investigated and states that there are less than 150 bales of cotton in the whole of the county. One man living west of the city. has the largest number, 19. There are
 almost no bales in the warehouses here. At this time of the year the county has never seen so few bales since the time of the war.
 The reason for this decrease in cotton is that nearly all of the farmers. .are pre- pairing for an expected onslaught of the boil weevil and planted hundreds of acres in corn, peas, hay and oats last year that had heretofore been in cotton. More corn was made in the county last year than ever before in its history, and the indi- cations are that this will be increased largely this year. One of the largest farmers in the county is preparing to stop 100 blows next year and raise nothing but corn, oats and cattle. He will have 5000 or 6000 acres in these. Many others are following his example in a modified form.

JUDGE ALST0N ID
 HEAR FEUD CASES Will Relieve Judge Coleman on AnnistOn Bench, on
 Account of Illness

Anniston, April 2o.-(special)-A tho
 special session of the city court of An
 niston, which will begin on May 1, Judge
 Alston, supenumerary jurist, will re-
 lieve Judge Thomas w. Coleman, who
 has been i'll for some time. At this ses-
 sion of court the other five defendants
 who were indicted with Dr. John E.
 Pearce in the famous Pearce-Kennedy
 feud case. will be arraigned for trial.
 This gives promise of trying ordeal
 and Judge Coleman, who had to sit through a special session at the last term Of court, does not feel equal to the emer- gency.
 Dr. John W. Stagg, president of the Alabama Presbyterian College for Meu, is now busy planning for the commence ! ment exercises, which he says will be the most pretentious within the history of the college. A number of improve
 ments have been made recently at the college, among them being the installa- | ton of large amount of new paraphec- nalia in the chemical laboratory, which is now said to rank with the best in the south.
 | l. c. Watson, secretary of the Annis- | ton Chamber of Commerce, has sent an | invitation to the members of the Ten nessee legislature who are now so1ourn- | ing in this state to come to Anniston | for short stay before they leave Ala | bama.
 | H. P. Salter, general agent for the
 Louisville and Nashville railroad at An- niston, gave out statement Thursday
 in which he emphatically denied the truthfulness of the interview published | here Wednesday to the effect that tho | Louisville and Nashville has bottled up | Anniston to prevent the extension of | the Seaboard to this city via Jackson vile. It was alleged that there was an agreement between the two roads by which they used the tracks of each other | to prevent the. Seaboard from having
 to go to the expense of the extension.
 and it was suggested that the city could secure this extension by withdrawing cer- | tain trade from the Louisville and Nash yille MT Salter cites the fact that the
 Seaboard has S100000 invested here as an evidence of the untruthfulness Of
 the alleged collision between the two l roads,

HOW TOF|GHT THE CORN DRILL WORM

Auburn, April 20.-(Speciai j-In response to the appeal of hundreds of farmers of Alabama for information concerning the ''bud-wormv or drill worm in corn a circular prepared by w. F. Turner, as- sistant entomologist at Auburn, has been issued by the experiment station of the Alabama Polytechnic institute.
 Next to the little black corn weevil, says MT. Turner in the circular which attack the grain in the crib. the bud worm is undoubtedly the worst corn pest in Alabama. The beetle feeds upon nearly every plant that grows; on the blades, green ears, silk and pollen of corn; on alfalfa, clover wheat, oats, rye, cotton, cabbage, beets, mustard, cucumbers, to- matoes, melons, Irish potatoes, asparagus, beans and many other vegetables, on the buds and blossoms of fruit trees, and on countless wild and cultivated flowers. In the early spring it feeds on young rye and oats. Some beetles may be found on the earliest blossoms of peach and wild plum. In the fal lthey may be found in large numbers on the blossoms of chry- santhemums."
 As to the control of the pest, MT. Turner
 
 states that there is no direct insectidal measure which can be applied. Many ex- periments have been made in treating the seed, according to the circular, but none have been successful, as in nearly all cases the insecticide killed part of the seed and poor stand resulted. As re- suit of investigation and research, MT. Turner has this to say as to control:
 ''It is certain that its damage can be largely reduced or prevented by such measures as planting after the first of May, planting large number of kernels to the hill, properly draining what would would otherwise be wet, heavy soils, erad- icating weeds and similar practices which may be included in the best farm prac- tice. The application of these measures will reduce bud-worm Injury to mini mum. It has been proved by experiments that corn planted after May l suffers practically no damage from budworms. This is due to the fact that nearly all of the beetles will have laid their eggs by that time, so that they will have none left for the late corn" .t

 Sports Active at AnnistOn he Anniston club of the Southeastern Hague began it's regular practice sea- son Thursday with 80 recruits. While there have been a number of recruits lere for quite a while. the salaries did rot begin until Thursday simultaneous .-ith which the process of elimination began in earnest.
 Manager Ford dropped several men this week and before the close of an uther the list of try-outs will have b, en materially reduced. The pitcher pro. lem seems to be the greatest tfat now confronts the An niston management. Ford himself is pitcher and besides him Smith, se- cured from Birmin gham; Nelson. who was purchased from Macon; Kuyken- dall of Atlanta, and Creighton, appear equally good, so that in order to hold them it seems that some good men will have to be dropped from the outfield orospects and pitchers worked in the garden.
 In the inield 1t now seems that the race will lie between Wasem and Spitz- nagle at short with Gilboe at first, Dougherty at second and Morgan at third.

 Condition
BOY REPORTED LOST

Gadsden, April 3o.-(Special.)-Th coun- ty commissioners today issued county warrants in the sum of $25,0O0 for the pur-
 pose of building the new jail. About two years ago the matter of issuing bonds for this purpose was submitted to the peo- pie and was voted upon adversely, and the commissioners did not deem it wise to again submit the question, but proceeded to carry out the orders of the state de-
 partment of prisons demanding that a better jail be provided in this county. The
 contractors are on the ground. and the
 site has been graded and is ready for con- struction to proceed at any time.
