COTTON SITUATION
Past Month Has Not Been Particularly
 Favorable

Huntsville, June 26.-(Special)-The cor respondent of the New Orleans Times Democrat, writing of the cotton situation in the Tennessee Valley, says:
 The past month has not been particularly favorable to growing cotton owing to the continued drouth. The plant has not suf- fered except in size-the weed having branched out and fruited very we'll under the circumstances. All conditions con- sidered, the average as compared with an average cotton crop is about 90 per cent
 Labor conditions are about as usual, an abundance of day labor being available for emergencies and at prices about equal to those prevailing in other years.
 The yield this season can hardly be eX- pected to equal that of the two years pre- ceding. The decrease in fertilizers used shows already in the size of the cotton, and will be more noticeable in the maturing season. These facts in conjunction with the decreased acreage seem to warrant 0 crop of not exceeding % per cent as com pared with 1897 and 1898.

BROKE UP IN A ROW
Negro Fans Excited Over Ball Game
 Begin Shooting

negro base ball game at Liberty Park yesterday afternoon broke up in a row in which one negro was seriously wounded in the leg and from which his assailant es- caped although over a hundred shots were fired after him by the excited crowd.
 George Brown was the negro who did the shooting and Tom Dawkins was the victim. They were fans" together, and were among the most interested spectators at the game. There was closer tie than that between them however, for one had mar ried the others sister. In some manner which is not explained the two brothers-in- law became involved in a dispute over the game. There were no historic razors in evidence, but according to the best testimo- ny there were plenty of guns. Brown, it seems, got the first shot, and his loving brother-in-law, Tom, caught the bullet in his leg, breaking that member. Tom drop ped like log and George went to him and turned him over to examine the wound, He found that it was not a fatal one, and said that he was mighty sorry he had done what he had.
 Suddenly he realized however, that it would be better for him to get out of the neighborhood, which he did at @ double quick time. Nearly every negro in the crowd that had shooting irons" jerked them out in the excitement, as if Watkins had been foully murdered and the william was escaping. They fired scattering but numerous volley at the fleeing Brown, but this only lent speed to his flight Although there were two Winchester rifles in the crowd, both of which were fired freely at the fugitive, as well as a hundred pistols, not single bullet struck him.
 A large number of the negroes joined in and gave chase, but at last accounts they had not caught the nimble footed George Brown lives at North Birmingham, it is said, and is yellow negro. He is describ- ed as being about five feet seven inches tall and as weighing about 165 pounds.
 The injured man in the meantime was given medical attention and is getting on very nicely.

EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION
Delegates Will Be Called to Order At 8
 O'clock D. m.

This afternoon at o'clock in Seals hall the Alabama Educational association will meet to hold its annual convention. At that hour the welcoming address and other opening formalities will be gone through with. The programme, which is an un- usually interesting one, will continue until about noon Thursday.
 There will probably be 400 teachers in the city attending the convention and &C., commodations for all of them have not yet been provided. Professor G. A. Brown, chairman of the local executive committee, requests that all persons who have any rooms to rent or who can accommodate any boarders during these three days to notify him at once, stating nature of &C., commodations, terms, etc.
 It has been intended to give the teachers a big reception or entertainment while they are in the city, but the programme is such a crowded one that it is going to be diff ficult to squeeze in any outside entertain ments. If the programme can be short ened in any way, however, an attractive entertainment of some kind will be quick ly arranged It all depends with the con- vention itself

SHIRT WAISTS FOR MEN
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Philadelphia has displayed an unexpect- ed alertness in the matter of a masculine innovation. It is proposed that men wear shirt waists. The significance seems to lie in the word waist. Men have always worn shirts, but no one has ever accused them of wearing waists.
 A correspondent of the Philadelphia Times tells of an occasion on 0 hot day in August when a whole family was shirted and shirt waisted in the same pattern of madras cloth but while masculine modesty covered the madras with coats, feminine boldness Haunted it unprotected The cor respondent asks, why? Again it seems to be a matter of waists, but whether a free- dom from coats will compensate for the restraint demanded in the matter of waists is a question for men to decide. They should understand that the shirt waist is not thing to be entered into lightly, Inad- Visedly. To the uninitiated 1t may seem a simple affair but there are subtle possibili- ties that will not be easily grasped by the masculine aspirant. Men have already dis played some imagination in the matter of studs and some flights of fancy on the question of ties, but there are even more in- tricate problems than these to be solved when they adopt the shirt waist. Let them at least remember that the stout man is not to wear plaids or the thin man stripes.
 It must be confessed that such servile im- itation on the part of men Is thing to be deplored. If they have secret longings for lace and lawns let them adopt these along their own lines and wear muslin and tulle coats Philadelphia is not so wide awake after all. When Chicago men take hold of the shirt waist they will show something original in the way of wearing 1t.

COL. DEN SON
Spoken of As a Candidate for Guberna-
 torial Nomination

Selma, June 26.-(Special.)-Th Age-Her- aids Selma representative returned yester- day from a trip to New York. While there it was easily demonstrated that you have to go away from home to hear the news. And it was piece of news to learn that of all the candidates whose names have been mentioned in connection with the candidacy for governor, that that of William H. Den son, of Jefferson, had not been mentioned before.
 In New York The Age-Herald man was told that Colonel Denson would surely en- ter the race, though the announcement at this time would be premature, As is known, he is an original free silver man. he has had the antagonism of the Advertiser, and his record for democracy has been suff- ciently clear to entitle him to the support of every faction of the party, and his abili- ty as a stump speaker would make him a formidable opponent for anybody the op position might put up.

PLANTS MEMORY
Observed by All Express Companies
 Throughout the Country

Never in the history of this country have the funeral services of a single busi- ness man been so widely observed in a universal way, as were those of Henry Bradley Plant, who was buried yesterday afternoon in New York.

 "He was a great man, though said Gen. eral Manager Ham of the Birmingham of flee yesterday afternoon, and it is as little as we could do to show this little mark of respect to his memory
 Both the shipping and the delivery de- partments of the local office were heavily draped yesterday morning in black, and caused great deal of interest among all those who passed along Morris avenue dur ing the day.
 The following simple notice, printed in black, was nailed on each door.

ATHENS
Walton Will Sustained by Court After
 Ten Days Trial

Athens, June 26.-(special) l)-After trial lasting for ten days and one of the most strongly contested cases that was ever tried in this county. the jury in the Wal ton will case returned 0 verdict late last Saturday night sustaining the will. The will was written on the 11th of September, 1876, in Nashville, when she was there to undergo a surgical operation, and has been kept in an old trunk all these years.
 The contestants set up the claim that this was not her last will, and was not her wish at the time of her death. There was an array of witnesses that would have kept the court busy for a long time, but the court ruled most of them out, and after Q bitter contest the jury returned a verdict in favor of the will. The property largely consists of lands, and many of the benefl- ciaries named in the document are dead,
