Roosevelt Breaks
The Solid South
Largest Plurality Ever Given.
Should Official Returns Bear Out Present Indications
His Plurality Will Be 2lO.

ashington.- only are the ma
Jority given theshrdlurBi,p Fishe Eff
Jorlties given the Republican national
al ticket confirmed by the more COM
plete returns and in some instances
increased over earlier figures but the
claim is made that the once solid
south has been broken and Missouri
has gone Republican.
With every former doubtful state
admittedly in the Roosevelt column
with majorities in eme states in ex-
cess of those given Mr.. Mckinley
four years ago and in some instances
even greater than those of 1896, capp-
ed by the possibility that the hither-
to invincible and historically Dem
ocratic south has been invaded.
When it was reported that Missou-
ri was in doubt and some of the Re-
publican leaders were admitting that
they had hopes Of success, it was
hardly credited by the majority of the
Republicans and was laughed at by
Democrats. But late returns seem to
indicate that these claims may be we'll
grounded, and in the absence of full
and complete figures Of the vote the
assertion that the muddy water state
has forsaken It's Democratic allegi-
ance on national issues is coming to
be accepted as probability.
Roosevelt has 343 Votes.
Should the official count bear out
the present claims Mr.. Roosevelt s
vote in the electoral college will be
343, plurality of 21O.
The unofficial returns give basis
for this estimate, which is warranted
by the eighteen votes from Missouri.
In the First Virginia the returns
have come in very slowly, but a Re-
publican victory is INDICATED.
A tabulated statement of the indi-
Gated results is as follows:
Roosevelt and Fairbanks.

up through the Atlantic coast states

lay, developing into gale of hurri-
sane force as it moved northward. re-
suited in the most complete tie-up Of
wire communication that the eastern
states has experienced since the men,

ng train schedules, paralizing trolley
ines and causing several wrecks along
The coast. A downpour of rain and
heavy snow which accompanied the
storm added to the destructive force
IT the gale. Telephone and telegraph
poles borne down by the weight of
snow and ice encrusted wires gave
way before the sweep Of the wind

With long distance wires reported
heir fields Of operation restricted to

Philadelphia, on the east by Boston
and on the north by Newburgh, N.

on and Wall Street, many Of whom
lnder normal conditions operate
thousands of miles Of wires, found
themselves practically helpless. The
exchanges were no more fortunate
md the only quotations received from
chicago and New Orleans were the
market report Of the, Associated
Press. BY an elaborate system Of
'elays and the use of both telephone

Press succeeded in bringing the path
between east and west cut by the
storm, and reached all points north,
vest and east, with the expectation of
small section in the vicinity Of AL
sany. There the damage from the
snow and wind seemed beyond imme-
late repair and with the exception
IT trains there was no communica-
ion with that section. That no more
disasters at sea resulted from the gale
probably was due to the early warn
ng of the approaching hurricane sent
nut by the weather bureau.
One Of the most singular effects of

lille, Me-, where a whale eighty feet

Canning factories are attracting
more attention in the state than for
merly. While there is no great amount
of money in the operation Of them, yet
they furnish a market for vegetables
that would not command price in
the northern markets and also at times
when the market Isl overcrowded. Ev-
cry trucking community of any impor-
lance should have a canning factory
for the purposes above named.

The editor of this department has a
letter from firm in Glasgow, Scot
land, asking for samples of clays de-
scribed in Bulletin No. 3, Of the

that the news that Mississippi had
clays that would likely be of great
value has reached the other side Of
the ocean.

There is a strong probability that
the Southern will extend its Itta Bena
branch to Belzoni. The amount of
bonus asked for has almost been rails
ed and the people all along the pro-
posed route are active in the work of
securing the road. 1t would open up
splendid section of country, which
has no superior anywhere in the
state.

One of the most interesting exhib-
its to be made at the Corn and Cotton
Carnival to be held in Jackson from
Dec. 18th to 18th, will be that of q
large manufacturer of road making
and maintaining machinery. A COM
plete outfit of road working machin-
cry will be on display and a piece of
road shown before and after being
built with this machinery. Not citi-
zen Of the state but who is Interested
in betteh roads and it would be we'll
if every county would send its board
of supervisors here to see these ma
chimes, see them work and judge as
to the adaptability to conditions in
their respective counties. There will
be something done towards better
roads throughout the state in the near
future, and this display will be worth
a great deal to all interested.
1t is estimated, and that upon sound
business principles, that the increase
In wealth and other developments In
the south will be much larger in the
next ten years than in tie past ten.
Since the census Of 1900 there has
been a remarkable increase For in
stance; the increase in lumber pro-
ducts has been from $9O,700,00e to
$2O0,O00,000. Capital invested in cot
ton manufacturing has increased from
$60,C0O,000 to $2O0,O0O,OOO. Capital
invested in general manufacturing
from $3.50, 100000 to ST. 100000. Val
ue OF agricultural products from $773,-
100000 to $1,700,0O0,OOO. The same
progress has been shown along all
lines and the showing is indeed very
gratifying one.
Bohemian laborers are becoming
very common on the Gulf coast. Large
numbers are employed in the canneries
and car after car is being brought
down from the vicinity of Baltimore.
The decrease Of oyster fishing in the
Chesapeake Bay country is driving
the business to our Mississippi coast
For quality the Mississippi oyster has
never been excelled and the worlds
supply is largely coming from our
grounds now. The oyster industry
will be largely augmented in the next
few years, and will prove one of the
states largest sources of revenue. A
settlement Of the contested boundary
question will expedite matters greatly.
Yazoo City is hustling for business
as never before. Not many days since
a train was run over the Belzoni
branch of the Y. & M. V. carrying
large number of her business men who
became acquainted and presented the
claims of Yazoo in the best light pos
sible. The experiment proved salts
factory and other trips are planned
for the future. What Yazoo is doing
might be adopted by other towns
with profit. At this time business is
secured by going after it. The town
that sits still and waits for something
to turn up will never have cause to
report great quantity of turnips.
Hustle is the thing.

Edward Bell, negro murderer. have been dis
charged by the grand jury In session. not
withstanding the fact that Eugene Roberts one Of
the alleged lynchers, went before the grand jury
and confessed to the crime. duplicating the depu-
ties and other prominent white men,
The discharge OF the prisoners is thought to have
been brought about because of a most Sensational
charge delivered TO the jury by Judge Daniel Par
fridge. law partner Of United States Senator Pet
tus. The young jurist denounced the white people
In most severe terms for their treatment Of the
inferior race and declared that the large amount
of--awlessness and crime among negroes was
caused by the bad example set by the white people
He called upon the jury 10 give the colored man
equal rights snd justice in the courts and not 10
hesitate 10 punish white man who had without
cause taken the life OF an innocent negro
He quoted Booker 7. Washington with approval
and praised the colored educator for the great
work which he Is doing for the betterment Of his
race.
The charge caused great sensation, and was
severely criticised by the ocaInewspapers and the
people generally.
