 Made.

The Montgomery police during the year ending July l. 1908. arrested 4,sso people for alleged violations of the law, an average of nearly IS each day. or this number 1s7 were turned over to the shsrifr of Montgomery county for incarceration in the Jail, and forty-two we're turned over to the sheriffs of other counties. In the recorders court 4.451 cases were disposed of an average of more than twelve day. From this state ment the energy and activity dis They have been very successful in. their efforts to lay hands on the perpetrators of the many criminal acts committed during the year, and to this fact may be attributed the good order of the city which has obtained for Montgom- cry such an enviable reputation as residence town.
 The majority of the cases disposed of in the recorders court were com paratively trivial offenses--disorderly conduct vagrancy, drunkenness. and similar moral lapses. The mere serf- ous crimes, as murder, grand larceny, counterfeitfng, and arson were turned over to the sheriff. It is interesting 10 note that of the total number of such arrests 36 per cent were for grand lar ceny, . little less than IS per cent Tor burglary ana grand larceny snOWih8 that of the most serious crimes commit ted in Montgomery more than halr were for some form of thievery.
 Of cases of murder there were etgh. teen, 75 per cent of number turned over to the sheriff, and of assault to murder also eighteen.
 The most horrible criminal act com rnitted during the entire year was that of Jim Kennedy, a negro arrested by the police on the charge of arson, who burned up his house when his wife and children were sleeping inside with no suspicion of evil. The negro was caught after a long chase many miles from Montgomery. having left the neighborhood of the criminal proceed ing immediately after he was assured that his brutal purpose had been ac- compiished.
 Appended is a summary of the report of Chief W. H. Taylor. of the Police Department:
 Showing number of prisoners arrest sd by police and turned over to the sheriff of Montgomery county and oth- pr places and also showing different charges from July list 1907 to July list 1908.

Court Street Paving, Which Made Ora- tory Last Week, May Be Con-
 sldered Agmin-NO
 Prophecy Made.

The City Council will meet for regu- lar session at s o'clock tonight. Just what Is the most important matter to be transacted has not been prophesied. and the program, sort or free-for-aH race card carries nothing that now seems to offer much interest.
 But interest of Aldermanic proceed ings, like the strength of Fame, grows in the going and 1t isn't probable that the proceedings will be terminated without a certain zest being injected.
 The Court Street paving matter may have been settled at the last meeting If may be brought again into proml- hence tonight through a reconsidera- ton, the other .fnatters expected are to be of routine character.

 High temperature and showers con- tributed materially to the cotton crops growth. From Carolina to Texas 1t is now in the most satisfactory condition of the season. There are a few conn plaints of drought and some as in South Carolina and Eastern Georgia. of too much rain. but they are local. The only other complaints come from Lou isiana, where the boil weewil Is numer- ous and doing considerable damage.
 The plant has made rapid advance ment Tn many sections throughout the belt the crop outlook is the best in years Where sufficiently large 1t Is fruiting well. In the latter sections blooms are numerous.
 Cultivation is excellent. In Okla homa there was some further aban- donment of acreage but cotton on the uplands has recovered in a large meas ure from drenchings. In the low lands 1t is much improved where cultivated properly. Elsewhere there is nothing to be desired in the way of cultivation.
 Tn Alabama. Mississippi and Arkan- sas the showers of the week were local. A good general rain would be bene- fcial
