Returns from Five More Boxes
 Are Due
CANNOT CHANGE RESULT
Congressman Underwood Defeats Both of Ills Opponents By Majority of 2673-onIcIal Count to
 Be Made Tomorrow.

Jefferson county will give at least 5000 majority for Governor Jelks, if the re- turns which yet remain to come in will increase the majority already known to be 2sS6, by fourteen votes, and 1t is thought this will be the case, as five more boxes are to be heard from.
 Yesterday eight more boxes sent in re- turns. and they increased the majority from 2615 to 2ss6. As the belated returns from the more remote boxes are received the majority for Jeiks climbs up.
 Tomorrow all of the returns will be of- fcially canvassed by the probate judge, the sheriff and the clerk of the circuit court, and not until that Is done will the exact figures be known. Only five more ballot boxes are yet to be received at the court house, and as they are small the vote as 1t is now known will be changed but little.
 The democrats are jubilant over the victory of Tuesday, and the republicans have nothing to say. The lilly whites" met a crushing defeat at the polls, and the hopes they had of polling vote that would, to say the lest, be close to that given the democratic nominees faded away as the first returns began to come in. Both the county headquarters of the democrats and the republicans have been closed, and the voice of the speech-ma-ker Is no longer heard on the stump in Jef- ferson.
 The vote in Jefferson county, according to returns received so far. Is as follows:
 For Governor-Jelks. democrat, 4916; Smith, republican, 964.
 For Lieutenant Governor-Cunningha democrat. S6A; Lane, republican, TSP
 For the Legislature-London. who led the candidates for the legislature on both tickets, 3552, Benners 3533, Cunning ham 3530, Blackburn 3517, DeBose 3373. Haley s215. Hickman S1SO democrats. The republican vote for the legislature was, Montgomery 942. Sheppard SO6. Smith 6s4, Brigman 674. Thomas 655. Barbour 4O9, Howard 245
 For auditor, Morris, democrat defeated Wallace by majority of 2747, and Gran than, republican, was defeated for road supervisor by Haigler. democrat the ma jority being 2S54
 Congressman Underwood defeated both of his opponents, Millar and Lennon, by a majority of 2673, his plurality over Mill lar, the next highest, being 3OO2.

 In speaking of the scarcity of cars H. c. Barclay, general agent at Mobile of tho Louisville and Nashville railroad, said to a reporter of the Register: "In all my experience as a railroad man I have never known such a sacrcity of cars as at present confronts not only the Louisville and Nashville system, but nearly all of the railroad lines, for the complaint seems to be general And this scarcity continues in the face of the fact that the railroads are having new cars manufactured right along. The Louisville and Nashville shops, l mean those of the entire system and not the Mobile shops alone, are turning out at least ten cars daily. Only a few moments ago I was compelled to refuse a large amount of freight, no less than twenty five hundred bales of sisal grass, be- cause could not possibly furnish the six ty cars necessary to transport the stuff The shipper asked me if could not give him five cars a day, and I was compelled to tell him that I was so far behind al- ready on cars necessary to handle better paying freight, that I could not even let him have one car day. It is so almost everywhere, there are not enough cars available to handle the freight that is offerinR"

"JanIce Meredith


 Edward F. Roses production of Paul Liesecter Ford's great American novel, Janice Meredith" was presented at the Jefferson last night to a small but well pleased audience, which appreciated the work of Miss Rose stahl, as Janice" !" As the bond servant, and afterwards a captain on the staff of General Washing ton, William Bonneill was good. and was literally applauded for his interpreta- tion of the part.
 The acting of Miss Stahl is at once graceful and pleasing. In the third act, where she is taken a prisoner to the headquar ters of the Hessian officers she faithfully carried out the picture as drawn in words by MT. Ford. Her Janice was quite as whimsical and self willed as the Janice In the story. and she gave in life like manner the part played by the heroine of the book. The supporting company was capable. and altogether the play was presented weIl and received well.

The man. agement of the Bijou claims that the production of Secret Service'' is a doI- lar and half show for fifty cents, and the claim seems well justified by the high standards of the performance. The new stock company has started off with a rush to firmly establish itself in local favor, and the hearty receptions accord ed the different players shows that local theatre goers are already beginning to appreciate the really talented players comprising the George Fawcett Stock company.
