Adams to ac- cept place on the bull moose ticket as an elector from the state-at-large, ten- dered him by the executive committee of that party at its meeting in Birmingham Saturday and announced in the papers, was received with much pleasure by his friends here.

Caterpillar Reported

The presence of the cotton caterpillar which has been so much dreaded by cot ton farmers all this season has been re- ported from several localities in the west ern portion of Madison county. It is too early yet for any considerable damage to have been done and the planters who have found the pest have gone to work to kill them out with insecticides. Last year the caterpillar showed up five weeks earlier in the season and the farmers were not prepared to fight them. This year they have anticipated the appear ance of the worm and are ready.
