GULF PORT TAKES THE LEAD.
In Lumber Exports Beats All Atlantic
Ports.

Gulfport, Miss, Oct. 25.-During the
fiscal year ended June 80. 1904. lumber
exports from this port have exceeded
for the first time those from other Gulf
or Atlantic ports. Hitherto, Pensacola
has held the palm for lumber exports,
but last year Gulfport made a record
of 193O00,O0O feet. as against 174,OOO. 900
feet for Pensacola. This places Gulf
port at the head of the Southern ports
and second in the United States only to
Puget Sound. The rapidity of the
growth Of its foreign business has
been phenomenal, exports having aris-
en- from 100000 feet in 1908 to 1884,
900. 900 feet in 1904
During the month Of September the
foreign shipments amounted to 10000
900 feet, as compared with II 1000, 900
feet the previous year. For the three
months ending with September. the ex-
ports amounted to 100000 feet. or
more than twice the amount shipped
during the same three months of 1903
Present shipments are at the rate of
over 50,00O,000 feet yearly.

Why Appendicitis?

Why is appendicitis SO common to-
day?
Because we have got into the per-
nicious habit of eating too fast.

this disease, says: Appendicitis often
follows the eating of very hasty, or
particularly large or indigestibe meal"

custom, You can ensure your safety by
taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

pressed a desire to learn. Her husband
allowed her to sit in the bow of the ca
noe while he padded at the stern. Once
on the crest of the rapids the canoe ad-
vanced with a lurch. Mrs. Wright lift
ed her paddle from her side to that on
which her husband was padding In a
twinkling the canoe overturned, the en-
tire party disappearing in the water.

Special Dispatch to tn. Call.

CHICAGO. Aug. 22.-Of 10.
voters personally requested by the
Chicago Tribune to announce their
preference for President. 65O4 named
Roosevelt. S7se were for Parker and
54S expressed themselves for Debs,
the Socialist candidate. This is gain
of 49S in the usual Republican vote
and loss of 42o from the usual
Democratic vote.
Many union men said the Demo-
cratic or Socialistic party held out the
greatest hopes to union labor and ex-
pressed bitterness toward President
Roosevelt for what they called his
share in the responsibility for the use
of troops in the Colorado strike
troubles.
The proportion Of Roosevelt men
among the laborers was large and
there was a Democratic loss. The
Socialist vote showed a considerable
increase. The two large parties ran
close among the teamsters. there being
ESQ for Parker and 277 for Roosevelt.
