have teen made upon the Underwood strength in those counties in which Gov elnor Wilson spoke. On the contrary, indications point to . growing Underwood sentiment. and the letters coming to koad- confident expressions.
 Governor Wilson had a good meeting in Atlanta; any good speaker can get a good crowd here. But 1t Is noteworthy that d large number of the audience left iha hall following Senator Hoke Smiths address, and the general verdict was that the New impression. The work done in Fulton has been done chiefly through organization. Practically every vote.' in the eo1iits has been canvassed, and hoth sides are Clain- ing the county. It will be d pretty hot contest fere with tEe odds somewhat in favor of Underwood.
 One of the chief criticisms made here of Governor Wilson's address was his rather sighting allusion to 1he tariff as an issue. His Why discuss the tarif?f' has be sn mere discussed among voters than any ether feature of his address, because of the general feeling among democrats that the party must go into the fight upoA the tsriff issue and chiefly as Oscar Ulder- wood has made it.
 The Underwood campaign management has made quite hit here by securing d stereopticon with which cartoons. pie lures and catchy expressions are thrown on screen in the center of the city every evening. Large crowds gather around It and watch it for hours.
 Senator John H. BanlShead of Alabama, who is general in charge of Mr. Undeg- woods campaign. spent a day here this week, and brought encouraging news from 1o if.t, hr iG tDft, f., give it's vote to the Alabama candidate. He says there was never any question about the attitude of the Alabama dele pation. that il has no second ehoice, and that 1t will be for Underwood on every ballot until there is a nomination.

NO SPRING TERM OF BUTLER CO. COURT Farmers Will Not be Forced to Leave Crops at Criti-
 cal Time

Greenville. April 21.--(Special)--At a meeting of the Greenville bar on Satur- day the members requested Judge A. E. Gamble of the circuit court to cancel the spring term of the same court and carry all cases over to the fall term. The request was made owing to the fact that the extremely bad weather has greatly delayed the work of the farmers. The farmers will at the time of the spring term of court be busy with their crops and to be compelled to leave them would be a great sacrifice and loss. Judge A. E. Gamble granted the request and Butler county will not have a spring term of circuit court this year.
 The Butler county farmers and mer- chants who have learned of the calling off of the spring term of circuit court are very much pleased. The farmers are now so far behind with the work that they need every hour of the time to work. Many of the farmers have not yet plant ed their cotton. In some places the farms are now covered with water owing to the heavy rains of last week and Saturday morning.

 Exceptional results have been secured by the Auburn department of entomology in it's work against the white fly, which threatens to destroy the new satsuma crop, the fruit of a budding industry which promises much for Alabama if res cued from pests. More than 99 per cent of the insects which infested some trees were killed by spraying and the satsuma growers in Mobile and Baldwin counties are enthusiastic in their adoption of spray ins methods It is likely that a spraying demonstration and experiment will be made in Mobile county before long.
