HURT BY .1UCILE''
OFFICER LA TRADE SUFFERS
 BROKEN LEG.
Restive Horse Jumped Forward as Driver Started to Place and Mir. La Prade Was
 Hurt.

While J. A. LaPrade. one of the reg ular drivers of Lucille" the city pat rol wagon. was attempting at about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoonf to climb up on the seat of the vehicle. one of the horses became restive and sprang suddenly forward. hurling him be- meath the wheels of the heavy wagon which passed over his right leg and left thigh, the leg below the knee suf- fering a compound fracture and his thigh being severely bruised.
 Medical aid was immediately obtain ed and the broken leg was set in the room adjoining the shed room where the Lucille" is kept. Throughout the operation MT. LaPrade exhibited re- markable fortitude and the intense pain which he must have suffered ex- tracted from hts lips not a single groan. He was afterwards removed to his home, 114 Pelham Street, and was last night reported as resting easily.
 The viciousness of one of the horses attached to the Lucille" was directly responsible for the unfortunate acci- dent. The brute has an evil reputation and more than once has attempted to run away. After the wagon had passed over the legs of Mir. LaPrade yester- day afternoon the horse was only stop ped with difficulty. John McDade, a veteran driver occupying the seat.
 Mfr. LaPrade stated that he did not know whether both of the wheels of the wagon passed over his legs, so se- were was the shock he received. It Is believed that only the rear wheel did so. Spectators of the accident did not know exactly how 1t occurred. so un- expected was 1t.

THE COTTON CROP IS
 EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD

Tn their weekly crop letter. Well Brothers declare that the weather In July for the cotton crop was excep- tional and that the crop for this sea- son IS as fine as this section has ever known. The letter foIIows:
 Dear Sirs-We have had exception al weather during the month of July; it has been as near perfect as could be wished for. We cannot recall any year where the July weather was as propitious as it was this year. The favorable influence this weather has exerted on the cotton plant can scarce iy be gauged by ordinary imagination. The growth of the plant has been steady and as this growth progressed, the plant has taken on fruit as stead fly as 1t grew. The consequence Is that We have today vigorous plant, show ing in no way exhaustion. but to the contrary. 1t Is of a fresh, thrifty dark green color, of moderate height, fruit ed from bottom to top, and Is retaining It's fruit. The latter is most remark able as we seldom have a season where shedding does not take place at this stage.
 we have now passed through the critical month of July. We have no complaints from anywhere as to the condition of the crops. but only good reports. At this writing, the cotton crop. taken as a whole. Is the best av- craze we have ever known at this date It Is being laid by in the Atlantic States, in a clean condition, cultivation having been In keeping with the wealth CT. These two conditions are entirely responsible for the present excellent prospects.
 August and September always bring forth deterioration. caused either by unfavorable weather or exhaustion of the plant. The former may take place at any time, but the latter, Judging from the healthiness of the plant at present. Is some time off. Very re- spectfully.

STORE OPENED
c. D. KENNY COMPANY IS EsTAB-
 LIsHED.
Large Crowds Attended the Opening of the Montgomery store sf the Big Company Yes-
 terday

All day long the crowds. especially those with their domestic interests at heart, filed in and out of the c. D. Kenny company's tea-coffee-sugar es- tablishment on the occasion of-Jtheir opening yesterday. The people con tinued to visit the place. too. up to a late hour last night, the location be- Ing 107 Dexter Avenue.
 Never has new business house opened in Montgomery under more aus picious circumstances The very air of the emporium spoke of merit. cleanli- ness and upto-dateness. The thou sands of visitors to c. D. Kenny Com pany were impressed with the tea shop.
 The housewives were impressed most because they Insisted on asking innun- erable questions and drawing out the proprietors and safesmen on the quai- ity of the goods. They met with cour- teous and quick responses always. If there Is anything in first impression and all the philosophers say so--Mont- gOmery's newcomer in the tea and cof- fee trade will reap big business.
 c, D. Kenny Company was estab- ished In Baltimore in 1870. It is an immense concern. It has scattered over the United States sixty-five stores, from New York to St Louis and New Orleans and the Atlantic coast. The big corporation roasts no less than 60. 900 pounds-o of coffee daily and they are the largest sugar dealers in the United States.
 Tho tea trade of C. D. Kenny Com pany Is tremendous. The teas handled come from every tea-raising spol on the globe. Their managers insisted from the beginning on building their business on quality and no small em- phasis Is laid on the service of it's en- ployes They are inviting comparison
 The local establishment was opened by E A. Harstock of Atlanta, who has been seventeen years with the com pany. The Montgomery manager of the Kenny Company will be J C. Mounger, who has seen eight years of service with the company.
 The success of c. D. Kenny Com pany seems assurea
