fall is producing very rank growth
of stalk, is retarding the proper set
ting Of new bolls, and is rottiEg a few
already made.
sThe natural maturity OF the plant
is also being delayed. and the crop
will be exposed to unusual danger
from frost If the rains continue.
Preceding the inauguration Of this
droutn In the extreme east and the
southwest and heavy rains in the cen
trail states the plant was well fruited
and comparatively early in growth, so
that, although the loss has been rather
heavy during the past two weeks, the
promise is still good to fair. On the
bright side it is also worthy OF note
that In many localities showers nave
been neither excessive nor scant, and
the crop is extremely good.
Except in Texas and South Caro-
lima, but little cotton picking has been
done, and the bolls are opening slowly
because of the continued growth of
the plant due to the rfains. The boil
weevils in southern Mississippi and
Louisiana now appear active enough
to stop all further setting of squares.
The worm damage has not been ex-
tensive.

tial. That there has been some de-
terioration is true. due much to the
rain, which has caused the weed to
take on abnormal growth at the ex-
pense Of fruiting. This deterioration is
from the condition of several weeks
ago, when every indication pointed to
the largest and most perfect crop ever
grown in Alabama. With regard to
the normal, the average crop of re-
cent years, the reports show that the
crop even now is better than the av-
erage, and with continued dry weather
and no unusual hot waves, the fruit
will develop more rapidly and with
better results than now seems the
case.
Picking has begun only in the south
most tier of counties and is not gen.

WONDERS or MODERN CLOCK
Inventive Minds Shown In Ingenious
Make-up o. Some az Automatic
TImepieccs Just Invented.

Grandfather's clock is outdone. 1t
had a calendar hand which told the
day Of the month, also the day OF the
week. Sometimes a window was cut
in the upper part OF the dial through
which could be seen humanized
moon face slowly moving across the
opening and giving the phases OF the
moon. In most cases II the calendar
mechanism was not out Of order the
moon mechanism certainly was, and
in the evening one could rarely tell
which date 1t was because the hand
was about half way between.
The first Of the month the calendar
hand had to be set for the correct
number Of days thirty or thirty-one
or twenty-eight The modern calen-
dar clock takes care Of these matters
automatically. Every four years it
automatically adds another day to
February. II needs winding only once
year.
Few persons consider the clock as
a piece Of machinery, especially when
gotten up In the cheap forms which
are now so universal. But the prin-
cipal clock builders employ skilled en-
gineers, electrical and mechanical,
whose inventive minds are shown in
the ingenious makeup Of some Of the
automatic clock devices which are be-
coming more and more commercially
popular in the effort to provide uni
form standard time throughout the
country. If simultaneous actions in
different parts of a large establish
ment are dependent upon the clock,
all the clocks In the different depart
ments must tell exactly the same
time. BY the old way there were used
many high grade clocks, each expen-
sive and even then liable to vary from
each other. The modern way is to in
stall one high-grade master clock,
which automatically regulates any
number Of secondary clocks through
out the establishment, SO that all
exactly agree.

ENGLISH STRIKE SETTLED

London, England.-A tremendous
wave of relief swept over England,
when announcement was made from
the board of trade that the railway
strike had been settled and that the

kilograms were dispatched to all
important railroad towns, bearing the
information, and those crossed in tran.
sit messages to London describing the
strike riots in Llanelly and smaller
points in the kingdom.
The cabinet had been working night
and day since the strike threatened to
arrange a compromise. Most Of the
credit for the ultimate success of their
efforts appears to rest on the shout

in his statement to parliament, and in
an interview WITH the managers and
the men, worked for Cancellation when
all others of the interested parties

1t does not single out the fly as the

is instituted, although he is guilty of
every thing with which he is charged
To get rid Of the fly to the extent
that is positively within our reach,
we are getting rid of rs per cent of

He is on very familiar terms with
us, his progenitors. He enters our
homes unbidden, laden with disease
germs taken from his filth heaps,
takes the first place at our tables,
and has the first taste Of the best,
crawls over our butter and plunges
bodily into our milk. Why should
he not, when we have so generously
provided him a comfortable home in
our back yards and alleys.
