WORM SCARE PASSES
Belief Prevail* In Wed©wee Section
That Damage 1* Light
WEDOWEE, Ala., August 26.—
(Special.)—The scare over the de
struction of the cotton crop by cater
pillars seems to be passing. A good
deal of poison has been used where
the pest threatened to do serious
damage, but there is strong hope now
that if the worms reappear in force,
it will be late enough in the season
that they will do no great damage.
Heavy rains this week almost insure
a good corn crop, very much better
than last year. There has been two
cases of poisoning from handling ar
senic, those of Mrs. Josie Brumbelow,
who was seriously affected, and Lem
Wilson, who was slightly poisoned
when he held open a sack which was
being filled with arsenic.
