Prosperous in Spite of Boil Weevil

wv s.+ the crop p.. diIsss6l1nttsa ;ssar'rats1 several years ago by committee of the Birmingham Chamber of Con- merce, the boil weevil had not reached Alabama. But men who organized the diversification campaign were broad visioned enough to see that if agricul- ture was expanded and came into it's own, the farmers must get away from the one cash crop practice; that the state must first of all feed itself. Di- versification made a hit from the start. and when the weevil pest came the sections that had increased their food and feedstuff crops and had gone extensively into the raising of Hive stock, prospered in spite of the damage to cotton. The new departure was providential indeed from all points of view.
 The United States department of agriculture announces that the first special train carrying nothing but live stock rolled out of Alabama recently. It left Enterprise, in Coffee county, and contained 23 carloads of stock, which sold for slightly more than $70,000, averaging more than S3O00 per car. Six additional carloads of live stock followed day or two later, and in neighboring county in south Alabama, 29 carloads of hogs were shipped early in the month, and still third county shipped 29 carloads of hogs about the same time.
 Most of the land in that section of Alabama is planted to corn, velvet beans and peanuts, and the average income per blow and team is said to exceed that of sections of the state where the proportionate acreage in cotton is much larger.
 Every day, as the summer advances, brings fresh assurance of bumper yields. The most ardent prophet is fully justified, therefore, in his roseate forecasts. And diversification is at the bottom of all this abounding pros perity.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-06-24
Tribute to Mnrdered Man

T was profoundly shocked to read in The Age-Herald of the murder of my life-1ong friend, Deputy Sheriff Henry Eubank of Athens," said Dempsy Cullen
 "A desperate negro had assaulted a farmer with an ax and Henry, in the discharge of his official duty, Thursday night entered the house of the negro's brother to arrest him. The nego fired a load of shot point blank into his breast, the moment Sheriff Eubank turned on his flash light.
 Henry and I were boys together lived on adjoining plantations and hunted rabbits and possums and shot quail together. I have never known a finer man than Henry.
 q note that the citizens of Athens have offered $500 reward. This, with the $400 offered by the state, makes a $500 reward for the capture of his murderer. Knowing the temper of ths people and the esteem in which they held Henry Eubank convinces me that there will be no letting up of tke search until the negro is captured and executed
