WILL BE FRIENDLY
 TOWARD THE SOUTH
H. s. Edwards Talks Ot ROose-
 veIt's Policy
IS NO NEGRO QUESTION
Believes Solution of Whole Affair Ia to Have Two Equally Divided Political Parties In
 the South.

Atlanta. November 9.-Harry Stillwel Edwards, who lives at Macon, Gap one of President Roosevelts three Georgia referees, a man who stands close TO the President and among those chosen py the President to second his nomination at Chicago, speaking today of the great victory won by Roosevelt, said;
 ''In my opinion 1t means that the pre- dicted reaction in favor of the President has arrived even in the south. The small vote for Parker in the southern states IS largely a protest against the personal abuse that has been poured upon his opponent. To a great extent 1t is an in- dication that the American idea, the na- tional Idea if you prefer 1t. has taken firm hold on this section, and that to an increasing extent from now on will out weigh mere sentiment The material pro- gress of the south will not be subordi- mated again to expediency."
 When asked if he advocated two parties in all southern states, he said:
 Advocates Two Parties.
 'Yes, most earnestly. Every man among us who loves his country and Is not mere partisan, will welcome the day when the two great political parties con tend for the mastery in every state in the south on something like equal terms.
 Tt is undoubtedly true that the chief sufferer from the condition of solidarity politically speaking, to which the white south many years ago reduced itself, and in which it continues, is the south itself. From the first place i4l the councils of the nation which 1t so long occupied, it has sunk to one so insignificant that if 1t has any influence whatever upon government al policies, the inhu snce is entirely a negative one. The splendid intellects which dictated policies for the whole country which exposed the faleacies of vicious legislation, which declared war, or enforced peace, the analytical, construc- tive and creative minds of the south, so far as political leadership Is concerned, have passed into history"
 Denies Race Problem.
 MT. Edwards denies that there Is a race problem. There is no race problem. No negro threatens the south today but the criminal negro and no white threatens the negro except the criminal white man. The negro is practically out of politics, and is at work"
 When asked if the policy of the Presi- dent would be such as would permit the south following him, Mir Edwards re- plied
 "UndoubtedIy It is too soon after the election to discuss this, however. I have all along D ophesied that Mir. Roosevelt would go out of office with the south on his side. I now personally believe that he desires the frlendliest and closet relations with southern people, especial | ly Georgia.
 He is ,utering upon his new career unhampered by pledges and policies in- herited He begins a new life. Let us wait and see how he begins. Give the President l fair chance and I believe he 1 will give ths south the eairest chance 1t has had for forty years"

WHISKY STILL UNCHANGED.
Situation in Peoria Market Remains
 About the Same.

Peoria. III, November 9.-The price of spirits remained unchanged at s1.24. The reductions In the price of domestics have not affected it. The situation in the local whisky market Is about the same as it was. The independents have declared that they will not recognize anything less than $1 .24 on a basis for finished goods, but as the trust is offering goods on basis of 1,23 it would seem as though they will have to meet the figure if they get any business.
 The tr 1st has flooded the country with postal cards announcing that beginning with November 5 the basic price will be $1 23 The system of selling goods by whisky houses is by reckoning what is known as "over;;" that is different grades of goods are sold at G. 8, 10 and F per cent over 1.23 per gallow. The original cause of war was when certain inde- pendents cut the per cent lover" down to 3 per cent. This brought about re- prisals on the part of the trust, and pre- cipitated the war.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Silver Slipper"

Although "The Silver Slipper" is pre-
 sented by a large company, 1t is decidely
 a one-man show and at the Jefferson
 theatre last night Snitz Edwards was the
 man. Edwards is a very effective com
 edian, very clever, comedian and one
 who makes you 3laugh nearly all the
 time. His humor Is not of that spasmodic kind that drags one moment and brings forth gusts of laughter the next. While he Is on the stage there is a constant ripple of amusement that begins when he makes his appearance and ceases when he departs. In makeup MT. Ed wards is a genius. He was about the most absurd looking individual 1t would be possible to manufacture in the dress ing room and all through the piece he kept the audience bubbling with good hu- nor. As Henry Bismark Hench. show man, card sharp and all around fakir he was a success.
 In addition to Mir. Edwards there were the English dancing girls who won de- served appiause. especially in that fas- chatting, whirlwind of movement term ed the champagne dance. They were re- peatedly encored for this and all their other dances, which were executed with grace and spirit. Then the musical num- hers were well rendered. with possibly one or two exceptions. The best singing was uOne oy the men, Ine company mas q strong male chorus of about eighteen voices and these were heard to advan- tage in all the best numbers Contrary to the usual order of things the men were on an average better looking than the girls and there were a number of hand some, athletic young fellows who were good to look upon.
 The stage settings for the first and sec end scenes showed the wear and tear of travel but the costumes were elaborate and as whole. the production justified the extravagant expressions applied to 1t by the press agents "The Silver Slip per' appeals to the ear and the eye as do few attractions of its class en tour and the company was cordially received at the Jefferson last night.

Frazier. democrat, for Sover- nor. a majority of 25,551 over Jesse Lit tleton. his republican opponent The ten counties to be heard from will increase this majority by 5000 votes.

Ac- eording to the returns in the Times i, Adams plurality in the state is over 10000 The Times comedies that the re- suit Is in doubt as to other state officers, but claims the legislature to be demo- cratic in both branches.

 Hate returns this evening indicate clearly that the republican ticket in Colo rado, national, state and county, has been elected by pluralities ranging from 2o00 to 10000. A conservative estimate places Peabody's plurality at 5000. He will carry Denver by from 1000 to 2000.

Ruling Is Made On Price of Whisky
 In Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, O., November 9.-The basic price of whisky, which on Saturday last was disturbed by reported sale at s1.23 and s1.24 has been established on the chamber of commerce at SPA.
