The little city of Alderman is be-
coming active in the building Of
churches and two splendid new ones
will go up this summer. This is well
and good. Every community should
be well supplied with churches where
the people can worship according to
the dictates of their consciences, and
comfortable and commodious school
buildings where the youngsters car
be properly fitted for the battles OF
life. Money spent in good public
buildings is not squandered by any
means. The first impression a stran-
ger receives from a town comes from
the churches and schools. Better
public buildings r the rule in Mis-
sissippi now.

Waynesboro is working up a can
ming factory to help make a market
for the excellent truck raised in that
section of the State. A canning fac
tory is almost an absolute necessity
where any considerable quantity Of
truck is raised. 1t frequently hap
pens that a portion of the vegetables
are not in condition for shipping, too
ripe, for instance, then the canning
factory cans them and is able to pay
the raiser a fair price for them. At
times the market drops down and
again the canning factory comes in
handy. All trucking sections should
have canning factories.

After several months of advertis-
ing for a man to come and build a
car line upon a proposition laid down
by the city fathers, Yazoo City has
found a maj who expresses interest
and will investigate the proposition
as to the possibility of it being a div
idend-making scheme. Yazoo City is
a splendid city and the moneyed gen
tleman will no doubt find much on
his inspection to induce him to go
against the project. 1t is to be sin
cerely hoped that Yazoo will land the
needed enterprise.

A large Northern syndicate has
bought a tract of pine timber land
nea Hattiesburg for the sum of $685..
900 and will erect thereon a large fac
tory to manufacture cross-arms and
other articles of a like nature. While
we are glad to see these gentlemen
come down here and work up our
crude material, and of course make a
good profit on the investment, how
much better would it be if u W
people would do more of this and
keep the profits here at home. Think
of this.

who have failed to pay is made out
and furnished to every member of
the club.

Revolution in That state--Penrose's

Tremendous Endorsement.

Philadelphia, Nov. s.--The political
revolution In this city and state yes
tterday was the greatest that has oc-
CURED In Pennsylvania In nearly
generation. This is the first time IN
years that every Office for which there
was any semblance OF contest has been
lost to the regular republicans. II IS
also the first time in q quarter OF q
century that the regular republicans
have been defeated for control OF the
state treasury. 1t Is worthy Of note
that yesterdays election was the first
that has been held since the death OF
former Senator Quay. The plurality
OF William H. Barry nominated oy
democrats independent party, Lincoln
party and prohibitionists for state
treasurer, will be nearly 100000.
Plummer republican candidate, ran
far behind his ticket In nearly every
county, the remainder OF the republic

lican pluralities. Roosevelts plura1ity
last year was more than half a mil
lion. The victory. OF the city party re-
form organization over the regular

plete and beyond the expectations OF
the reform leaders.
Complete returns from the city gave
the city party 1850, republican can

party 1888. Berry, fusion candidate
for state treasurer. cafrted the city
by 38,037 plurality.

Of the election was the loss by the
regular republicans Of Senator Pen

QUIETING IN RUSSIA
Revolutionary Wave !. sub.ld'ns, bu.
the Stories Of the Excssses Commit
ted During Past Few Weeks Grow
More Revolving.

st. Petersburg, Nov. s.-The revo-
lutionary wave continues to subside,
except in the Caucasus. As the de-
tails Of what happened tfruout Euro
pean Russia during the upheaval arr
rive the story grows more revolving.
In the Baltic provinces revolt and In
cendiarism prevailed. In Poland even
the clergy, Catholic and Protestant
participated in the manifestations In
favor OF autonomy Of ancient kingdom.
In Southwestern Russia hardly city
or town escaped Jewish massacres. At
Tomsk, Siberia, the whole population
Of 10000 and the military stood by
while 600 men, women and children
were burned in a theatre.
The courthouse and mayors resi-
dence where students and revolutions
lists took refuge from the mob were
burned and those who tried to fly werc
killed in the streets. In Moscow social
revolutiontsts and black hundred and
Cossachs and police fought bloody bat
ties. Descent OF the butchers OF Mos
COW with their knives and axes upon
the students was one Of the most hor-
rible chapters, but not as pitiful. how
ever, as the attack Of the black hun
dred on a procession Of school chill
dren carrying red flags. When the
children sought to escape Gordon Of
police barred the way and the youth
full martyrs were beaten into insensi-
bility and in some cases actually torn
to pieces. In Alexander Garden, at
Moscow, Cossacks lay in ambush in
shrubbery and set upon their victims
with whips. Many were beaten to
death and others were hardly able to
crawl away. Reports from Caucasus
show there is no immediate prospect
of suppressing the present state Of
anarchy. The battles between tartars
and Armenions continue and destruc-
ton OF railroads and lack of troops
make 1t Impossible for the authorities
to cope with the situation.
