KIDD IN JAIL.
He Is Charged With MisapproprIating School Funds of Marshall County.

Guntersville June 18.-(Special )-Circuit Clerk M M Downey and J. G. Wright have returned from Arkansas with w. w. Kidd, who, it is alleged. embedded the school funds of Marshall County several years ago. It was in the fall of 1896 that Kidd was suspected of using the school funds for other purposes. He had been a popular man in the county, had been county surveyor and was elected to the office of superintendent of education on the Populist ticket. The grand jury at the spring term of the Circuit Court ex- amined his books and found a shortage oe several thousand dollars They returned an indictment, but Kidd fled before ar rest, and was next heard from in Mexico, where he remained some time. He then went to Chicago and thence to Arkansas. His official bondsmen were A. M. Aymes and Jasper Smith, who, as soon as it was made known that Kidd was gone, made good the amount of his defalca- tions.
 Kidd refused to be taken when he was approached by the officer and showed fight, whereupon the officer shot him in the left side just below the armpit, the ball coming out at the right nipple. He came all the way on a cot and suffered great pain. His bond is fixed at 5000. He will likely await a trial without mak- ing any bond.

BAD WEATHER HAS
 THE COTTON CROP
The Yield May be as Great as Usual But Cost of Mak-
 ing It Increased

New York, June 13.-Dispatches to Dun's review from the entire cotton belt make most satisfactory showing. Unfavor- able weather conditions during the open ing weeks of the season injured much of the seed. This addition to the cost of the crop however, does not prevent fuller yield. There seems to be from to 10 per cent in the acreage under cultivation and while damage undoubtedly has been severe in some sections fairly good wea- ther from now to the beggining of pick ing would insure an abundant yield. Ex- cessive rain has made the growth of the grass unusually rapid and the scarcity of labor together with large grain crops makes it difficult and expensive to keep the fields in good condition. Injury from insects Is light in most States, except for boil weevil in parts of Texas and lice in regions where moisture has been excep- tionally heavy. These pests are not as harmful as usual however, and aside from the probable increase in cost the planters have cause for great satisfaction.
 Reports from correspondents of R. G. Dun & Co. in the principal sheep-raising States indicate that the season has been most satisfactory both as to size and con- dition of clip. but complaints of prices are very general. On many ranches the shear ing is about completed and yield some- what larger than the one preceding Is as- sured.
 At far western points there Is much wool still on the backs of the sheep, but anil mals are healthy and no difficulty is anti cipated. Not only is the quantity larger this season, but the quality Is better and the wool so much cleaner hat losses in securing will be less than usual. A few reports indicate that growers have already sold much of their wool, but in the ma jority of cases there is no desire to ac- cept current prices. This Is especially true of the wealthier ranch owners, who can afford to hold their products. Buy CTS are not alarmed by the tendency to re- fuse offers which are about a cent lower than month ago and express the opin- ion that still easier terms may be secured later. Considerable current stocks at the east and conditions in the manufactur- ing prospects for higher prices are not encouraging. notwithstanding the steady decline of the past year.
