20,580,237 barrels in 1904.
Eastbound Movement
The eastbound trunk-line movements
of grain from Chicago and Chicago
points during the month of December
amounted to i2,219,GGG bushels, and
were nearly two million bushels
heavier than like movements in 1904,
and considerably over six million.
bushels in excess of those of 1908.
During the twelve months of 1905, 112,-
100000 bushels of grain were shipped
eastward over the trunk lines from
Chicago and Chicago points, as COM
pared with a similar movement in
1904 of 90,501,000 bushels, and in 1908
of 79,729,000 bushels. Eastern -four
movements during the month of De-
cember tOtaled 530,749 barrels in 1905,
534, 143 barrels in 1904, and 669,964
barrels in 1903, while similar move
ments for a twelve-month period were
1851 ,858 barrels in 1905, 6,525,332 bar
rels in 1904, and 4,563,786 barrels in
1908. During the month Of December,
120,932 tons of provisions left Chi
cago and Chicago points eastbound, as
compared with corresponding move
ment in 1904 of 94,976 tons and in
1903 of 112,149 tons. A similar move
ment for the twelve months of 1905
amounted to 1,460,423 tons, total
somewhat larger than that represent
ing the shipments in either 1904 or
1908.
Grain Exports
Grain exports from the United
States during December, according to
preliminary returns, which include
about 81 per cent of the entire move
ment, amounted to 33,467,S94 bushels,
as compared with the corresponding
movement in 1904 of 1882, 165

similar total outbound movement in
1904 aggregated 69,O12,S92 bushels.
Both the Atlantic and gulf ports
made heavy gains in the expectation
of cereals during the year, If compared
with like movements in 1904, although
the increase at the Atlantic ports, both
from an actual and relative stand
point, greatly exceeded that OF the
gulf ports.
Lake Traffic
The domestic shipments from varl-
Gus ports on the Great Lakes during
1906 reached the remarkably large
total of 67,345,620 tons, undoubtedly
representing the greatest traffic move
ments for any calendar year in the
history of lake navigation. While the
increase of sixteen million tons over
the 1904 shipments may be partially
accounted for by the interruption OF
navigation in the latter year, owing to
the strike of steamship employees DUR
ing May and June, no such cause can
be attributed to the gain of nine mil
lion tons over the 1903 outbound move
ments or the increase OF nearly twelve
million tons over those of 1902. OF
the different commodities shipped dur
ing the year, ore and minerals aggre-
gated 3S,096,210 tons, coal, 14,665,S75
tons, unclassified freight 5,2O1,351
tons, grain and faxseed 1885, 1873 tons,
lumber and logs 4,26S,905 tons, and
flour 1,257,096 tons. The heaviest
gain occurred in shipments of ore
and minerals, which, during 1904,
amounted to but 23,S13,411 tons.
Shipments of Coal
Defenders shipments of anthracite
coal from the eastern producing re-
gions amounted to 5,395,113 tons, as
compared with the corresponding
movement in 1904 of 5,063,144 tons
and in 1903 Of 4,259,74S tons. The
heaviest movement during any one
month of 1905 occurred in May when
6,OO5,15S tons were shipped. During
the twelve months of the year just
closed anthracite coal shipments
amounted to 61,410,201 tons, as
against 57,498,462 tons in 1904 and
59,362,83O tons in 1903. The 1905
movement was the largest for any
one year in the history of anthracite
mining.

The fact that the railroad rate ques-
ton will not Occupy the floor will not be
permitted to interfere with the activity
on account of it. The bill is still re.
ceiving more attention from individual
Senators than any other measure, not
excepting statehood, and it will re-
main in the foreground until it is final
ly disposed of, regardless of it's place
on the calendar. The especial ques
ton under consideration now is that
as to whether the proposed compro
mise amendments shall be accepted
The bill will be made the unfinished
business as soon as the vote is taken
on the statehood bill.
Senator Lodge is still disposed to
ask the Senate to take the Philippine
tariff bill from the custody of the Com
mittee on the Philippines but he will
not move in the matter until after the
Statehood vote.

said the bridegroom, and with heavy
sigh he paid the full fare, but warned

The Sabbath following the disas-
trous storm of Friday was a day of
funerals.
Seldom, if ever, visited by a storm
of cyclonic proportions, the merchants
and residents of Meridian had never
protected themselves with storm or
cyclone policies, so. in matter of adj
justment of insurance, agents will
have little or no auditing beyond the
fire losses. A million and a quarter

vative estimate of the damage
wrought.

usually follow on the heels of a like
disaster Not a single instance of
this character has been reported to

distant, all traces of the storm seems
to have disappeared, little if any dam

tion of the statehood bill with a view
to reaching a vote on it next Friday,
in accordance with the agreement ar
rived at last week. There is a posi-

HE ASSISTED HIM.

A clergyman, who was absent-mind-

helped a bashful swain. He was pom
dering something theological, when a
neighbours daughter, walking out by
with her diffident lover, called out to
him: ooh, doctor, we are going for a
ramble, won't you join u.s." with
pleasure. Do you want the ceremony
in a church," The bashful lover was
suddenly fired with an enthusiasm
that four years of gnawing at his
heartstrings had failed to arouse, and
he fairly shouted: Eyes, sir, and If
Maud consents, the sooner the better"

SATURDAYS
PRIMARY.
LOVE WEBB, GOV. NICHOLS, FLEM
THOMAS, T. {. LIPScoMR AND
HARDIN THOMAS THE
WINNERS.
A BRIEF OUTLINE OF
THIS EXCITING CONTEST.
Rumors of Deals and Combinations
and a Promise of Contest Before
The Executive Committee.

Saturdays primary brought to {
close one of the most exciting cam
paigns for county Office this county
has seen in recent years, and the smol
majorities of the leading candidates
over the nearest opponents is evidence
of how closely the lines were d.0H'
and how fierce was the battle.
Election morning opened bright AMI
clear after a tempestuous night. bGt
though the day was favorable for a
large vote, the total will be less than
5000.
When the polls opened the candi-
dates and their friends became active
and worked necessarily. All kinds of
rumors have been afoat as to deals,
combinations and Doodle, but so far
these rumors have not been substan-
tiated. To the layman, the man not
behind the scenes, the election was APP
parently one of the cleanest the coun-
ty has ever had. This view is borne
out by the claims Of the candidates
and their workers, though it was said
some of the defeated candidates would
aPnear before the County Committee
Monday and ask for an investigation of
certain rumors which prevailed Satur-
day.
The wise ones were fooled when it
came to some of the races. The major
ity of people conceded the nomination
of Mr.. W. p Morley for the Office of
Circuit Court Clerk. Mr.. A. ]. Nichols
majority in this race was the largest
of any of the leading candidates. Reg
lister T. E. Lipscomb was thought to
be a sure winner for reelection by
good majority. Mr.. Lipscomb won,
but he found formidable opponent in
Mr.. Sam ]. Taylor, whose race sur
prised every one, and who would
doubtless have received even larger
vote had he been better acquainted
throughout the county. The victory
of Love Webb for Sheriff was predic-
ted by many and Mr. Webb won
though Mr.. Milt Allen ran good race.
Elem Thomas, candidate for Trustee
met the expectations of the election
prophets by pulling down the plum,
though Mr.G. X. Houser proved a
formidable opponent. Hardin Thomas,
candidate for County Court Clerk, with
no opponent to stimulate his friends
ran a surprisingly good race and will
fall little short of the total vote cast.
The Herald office was headquarters
for election returns, and from the time
the polls closed till late Saturday
night, the crowd was here in numbers
The returns were bulletined out in
front of the Office as they came in,
and the sidewalk and street for many
feet around was packed with men
anxious to hear the latest. AS the bull
letins were posted the vote was read
aloud by R. j. Harlan, and wherever
some favorite had done surprisingly
well in some special district, the
crowd cheered manfully. AS time
went on the crowd entered the Herald
Office, and the vote was read aloud as
it came in, while some of the visitors
aided in receiving and tabulting the
returns.
People throughout the county, anx-
ious for the fullest and most reliable
returns, called the Herald, and until
late at night both telephones were
kept busy distributing the news.
