—The flrat monument to the boll

Coffee county planters expressing
"profound appreciation" for the rav
ages of the cotton enemy, have erect
ed a beautiful bronxe fountain in the
hnart of the business district here.
It is a monument to the foe that con
quered the county, it Is explained,
and then pointed the way towards
prosperity and new hopes.
Growers of cotton who fathered
the erection of the monufnent to the
weevil, declared that the cotton ene-
tmy had been a blessing In disguise
In that It had brought about diversi
fication of crops and thereby estab
lished a new era In the south.
The inscription on the fountain
reads:
"In profound appreciation of the

ment Is erected by tho citizens of
Enterprise, Coffee County, Alabama.
The one-crop South has become as
a result of the terrible ravages of
the weevil, an agricultural country
