EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION.

How Mississippi Will Encourage Manu-
featuring Enterprises.
JACKSON, Miss, Oct. 24.-The alli-
ance element Of the convention have
scored notable victory, and its ideas
as to taxation have become engrafted in
the constitution. The issue was pre-
sented by Section 5 Of the report Of the
committee on corporations, which
touches upon the power to tax corpora
tions and provides for an exemption of
five years in favor of certain enter
prises. A number of the ablest men in
the convention advocated an exemption
of ten years as calculated to encourage
the establishment of manufacturing
and other enterprises necessary to the
development of the state, but the alli-
ance men succeeded in keeping the ex-
emption to the period stated.
The convention also reconsidered its
action abolishing the Office of lieutenant
governor and reinserted that Office in
the constitution.
The convention Thursday resumed
consideration Of the report Of the COM
mittee on corporations and adopted the
following: Section z: Provision shall
be made by general laws to prevent the
abuse by city, towns and other munich
pal corporations of their power of taxa
tion, assessment, borrowing money and
contracting debts.

THE ECClES ELECTION.

The Result Was Genuine Surprise to
Both Parties.
The result of the Eccles election,
which transfers the seat from the Con-
servatives to the Gladstonians, was a
genuine surprise to both parties. The
interest in the contest was intense. and
for several hours Wednesday evening
thousands of persons crowded Fleet
street waiting the announcement of the
vote. When the news came the Liberal
element, which greatly predominated,
set up tremendous cheer, which was
again and again taken up as the full
significance of the victory would force
itself upon the minds of the delighted
Liberals.
Mr.. Roby, the Liberal candidate, was
favored both by the temperance and
labor organizations, having declared
himself for an eight hour law, and also
for local option law as to licensing the
sale Of intoxicating liquors, and against
compensating publicans at the expense
Of the rent payers for the withdrawal
of license. The Irish vote in the dis
trict, about 600 strong, also voted
solidly for Roby. the Conservative
candidate. Mr. Egerton, had on his side
the influence long exercised by his
family and extensive owners of mines,
and was supported by the Church Of
England Temperance society,"

Quite another thing than
highest in price. The surer of
being low in price for that.
We mean the best quality for
as little as we, buying 100000
yards, if need be. at a single
purchase, can sell it for. We
mean the best made for less
than anybody else does sell it.
We make our clothing styl-
ish. We make it substantial.
Everything else arranges
itself behind the quality and
make. These are the true
sides of clothing for you to
look at.
