JURY IN THE COLE CASE
ga RRTIRES FOR THE NIGHT


ago. The sensational developments re-
Gently in the Lewisburg reign of terror
brought all the men whose names were
connected with it in any way into con-
siderable notoriety.
Another feature attaching interest to
the present Cole case was the sentencing
of Tom Collier to five days in Jail for
contempt of court by Judge William f.
Fort, before whom the case has been
tried Collier was charged with attempt
ing to bride one of the principal wit
nesses against Cole.
Judge Forts charge to the jury was
very lengthy, on account of the many
written opinions introduced into the ease
by the defendants attorneys, and this
delayed the case going to the jury. The
arguments were opened yesterday morn
ing. Pinkney Scott for the prosecution
being the first lawyer to address the
jury. There were three speeches on each
side, Frank Catalan, Solicitor II. p. Hef-
lin and Mr.. Scott for the state and
Attorneys Bell, Gibson and Allen for the
defense. The testimony in rebuttal Sat-
urday morning before the arguments of
the attorneys began was to the effect that
Nix had no knife and was not cutting at
the defendant when the fatal shot was
fired.

ARMY WORM OUTBREAK SPREADS.
ESPECIALLY IN SOUTH ALABAMA

worms and to protect his crop by some
really effective means, such as the arsen-
ate of lead spray. Whatever spray may
be used should be applied very thorough
ly as only careful work will give satis-
factory results. Sprinkling and busting
will not do in this case.
In some localities these worms are be-
Ing mistaken for the cotton worm or cot
ton leaf caterpillar which stripped cot
ton last fall. Those WORMS attack moth
ing but cotton and the presence of cater
pillars on corn at this time is sufficient
To establish the fact of its being a diff
ferent Species The cotton worms ara
more slender, usually much more yellow
ish in the ground color, and have the dark
stripes along the back with lighter stripes
on the sides. whereas the grass worm Ii
darkest along its sides and has lighter
stripes along its back.
The cotton worm is making its first APP
pearance this season in Alabama. Speci-
mems suspected of being this pest should
be Immediately sent to Auburn for identi-
hcaton.
The grass worm develops very rapidly,
requiring only between three and four
weeks for a generation. and In south
Alabama the third generation Is already
under way. There is prospect OF even
more serious damage ahead from this
pest. The control of the earlier broods
will 60 far toward reducing the number
of the worms to develop later. and Ii Is
hoped In this way that the real army
movement of the worms may be prevented
In most localities.
