A touch of Kentucky politics ha.

A touch of lucky politics has
reached Alabama. A tremendous
sensation was created at Montgomery,
Ala, when 1t became known that war
rants have been sworn out for the ar.
rest of Warren S. Reese, United States
district attorney for the middle district
Of Alabama, Frank Morsgue, Julian
Fl. Bingham, internal revenue collec-
tors for Alabama, and several OF
Bingham deputies. These men are
charged with having entered into a
conspiracy to kill certain doorkeepers
at the state capitol on the day the
republican state convention met at
Montgomery on April 10. The affida-
Wits for the arrest were made BY
Charles H. Scott, we'll known bust
ness man of Montgomery and brother
Of Castor Scott, who was shot
down at the capitol April 10 by Frank
Moragne.

The present cotton year, which ends
August 81 next, promises greater re-
suits to the American cotton planter
than during any preceding year in the
past quarter of a century. During the
first eight monthssof the present year
the expectations lave amounted tc
S214, 0152,4 3. During the full year oil
1 500 the total expectations were but
5000, s91, 357 A careful estimate OF
the prospective expectations places
them at SIS, 900, 900 IN round mum bers,
thus making the shipments for the
present year foot up a grand total Of
$3.50, 015,243. This will be from $780,.
600, 900 to 800, 600, 900 greater thar
during any year In the past quarter o.
century, with the single exception o.
1891, when the cotton exportationl
amounted to 1888, 393, 322. In tina
year, however, the average price pei
pound wac 0 1-6 cents, while during
the first eight months of the present
year the average price per pound ha,
been 7.8 cents.

From various sections of the state
comes the report that county assessors
are displaying unusual activity in
their search for solvent credits, espec-
ial attention being paid to investments
made by capitalists outside CT their
home counties, and it Is very likely
that some surprises are in store for the
large taxpayers when they go to make
their settlements with the county eel
Iectors next fall The assessor OF
Kinds county has returned from a
trip to Rankin county, where he found
s25, 900 worth of solvent credits owned
by Jackson capitalists which heretofore
have held no place on the assessment
roll. The assessor will also visit War
rem and Madison counties and continue
his search and reports are received to
the effect that the assessor of other
large counties in the state are doing
equally as well. In one precinct Of
Kinds county the deputy assessor re-
ports an increase of $50, 600 in the
realty value of single township and
it is figured that the total county as
essment will be increased thirty per
cent
