GULF AND SHIP ISLAND r. R.

From the Baltimore Manufacturer s
Record, October 6: The annual report
of the Gulf and Ship Island railroad
displays very agreeable increase in
gross earnings amounting to7 per
cent, while the net earnings are about
the same as last year. The total gross
earnings were $l,S29, ,815; operating
expenses and taxes, 81 1929, ,236; net
earnings, 5000, $50.
It is stated that the new branch
line south from Mendenhall will be
completed within the next veal, and
that this will make loop Of about
100 miles from Mendenhall to Make
also that this connection will mate
rally lessen the expense of operating
the Columbia and Mendenhall branch
es besides greatly increasing the rev.
enues of the company.
During the year there were 1913
vessels loaded at Gulfpo1t, the south
ern terminus Of the road, while the
next preceding year only Sc vessels
were loaded there. This new total
included 80 steamships, while in 1898
there were only 90 The company is
building about 800 feet or more of
wharf, and will also build ware
house to handle imports and exports.
1t is expected that the demand for
lumber will increase. and that freight
next year will be heavier for both
lumber and cotton. Concerning the
economical handling of freight, it is
shown that the average freight-train
load has increased from 2O7 tons to
242 tons.
Concerning the Gulf & Ship Island
Railroad and Gulfport, Miss.
Messrs. Fiske and Robinson, of New
York and Boston, furnishes informa.
tion as follows:

1902 would be somewhat misleading,

WILLIAM J. BRYAN ON PARKER


Every man is responsible for his
influence, be it small or great.
Every democrat who votes for Parker
votes to defeat Roosevelt. Every
democrat who does not vote for Par.
ker contributes toward the election Of
Roosevelt. On every question upon
which Judge Parker's position is open
to criticism, President Roosevelt's po.
sition is worse; where they differ, as
they do on many important questions,
Parker is right and Roosevelt iswrong
Roosevelt favors high tariff; Par
ker favors tariff reform. Roosevelt
favors standing army Of 10000 at
the minimum; Parker favors q re-
dnction of the army.
Roosevelt has brought the race issue
into national politics; Parker would
remove the race issue from politics.
Roosevelt stands for a colonial
policy Parker favors independence for
the Filipinos, and would make the
promise now.
Roosevelt took into the white house
spirit Of war; Judge Parker would
substitute for it peace.
Four years more of Roosevelt would
make an economic and industrial re-
form more difficult Judge Parker q
election would clear the way for econ
omic issues. Let no democrat, by
voting against Parker or by refusing
to vote, take upon himself RESPONSE.
