PRESIDENTS TRIP
 IS PLANNED OUT Holt Collier, the Famous Hunter
 is On Hand WILDS ARE UNINHABITED John M. Parker, a Prominent Planter, Is One of the Escort Party and
 Will Have Charge of
 the Itinerary.
WILDS ARE UNINHABlTED

l New Orleans, September 20.-John NJ Parker, who will be one of Presioent Roosevelts escorts during his camping and hunting expedition in northeastern Louisiana next month, arrived here today | from Mississippi. Mr. Parker said that the itinerary of the trip is not complete, ano that he cannot talk about the expea1- ton.
 Holt Collier d famous Confederate ne gro scout, freedman and hunter, will act as guide for the Presidents party. LOT Her is noted and especially as q bear hunter, and was in charge of PresiGent Roosevelts hunting party in Mssisslppi a few years ago. Collier is now employed on one of MT. Parker's estates In north Louisiana.
 Although the itinerary of the expedition is not arranged it is known that the Pres ident will be offered opportunities to hunt in Louisiana canebrakes where Tar known, no human being has ever made q permanent habltaton and where the sport in some respects is quite out of the oroi- nary. The cane grows to a height Of ten to fifteen feet, and at this time of year is blown into long wind rows, leavlng some open alleys between It Is neccs- sary to cut trails across these wind rows for the passage of the dogs, which other wise course the length of the alleys. The hunting will probably be done entirely on horseback. In order to proceed quioluy through thickets each nun;sman vii carry a double-edged knife with a stragnt blade. nearly a foot long, and neavy enough to chop q passage through o5- strucling groWths. Trailing vines are lne principal obstacles for which the knives are used.
 In addition to bear and deer, -ew partners and occasional wolves are shot in the canebrakes. The hunting season in Louisiana is in October and then lne temperature in the northern part Or tne state drops sufficiently to drive away tne mosquitoes.

GreenVile September 20.--(Speeial) 1.-The white ribbon army grows in numbers and enthusiasm. The election comes off to- morrow, and the indications are that the county will go dry by safe majority. The whisky men are making an active fight against it. but those of the other side are working and praying for deliv erance from the evil.
 William D. Upshaw delivered two ad- dresses yesterday, and in the afternoon made talk To several hundred school children. Today he is on the streets, meeting and talking to the voters. All are pleased with MT. Upshaw. The kind ness that beams from his eyes and char aeterzes all he says wins friends. The Baptist church was crowded last night and the large audience listened with rapt attention to the long address, sometimes moved to laughter, at other times fired with enthusiasm over the victory which they hope to win.

 The Secretary of State therefore oceu- pies position where the political promi- hence he has acquired in the south must be taken as nothing more nor less than tribute to his intellectual capacity and statesmanship. Besides being voted for on more than score of ballots, his name constantly appears in comments as the ideal candidate and with words of the highest praise. This is true of Root in the south, much as appears to be the case of La Toilette in the far west. The two men appear to be recog- nized as impossibilities to a certain ex- tent, but each Is idealized by voters who have no other interest in the matter than to express their own deep convictions.
 Strange things happen in politics The Tribune's figures show that it would not be as strange as it otherwise might seem if the south should lead in the move- ment for a conservative candidate in the direction of Root, Fairbanks, Cannon or Knox, for the purpose of heading off the manifest inclination of the country at large, at least at the present time, to turn toward Taft and Hughes as the up- per and neither millstone between which 1t Is hoped to grind the democrats to powder at the next election.

Jackson, Miss, September 20.-(Spe- cial.)-The baseball season Is over with the Cotton States league, and there are a great many folks here abouts that are glad of it. Jackson quits third in the pennant race. and is thankful she was not the tail-end for which position she gave Columbus a severe and exciting scuffe early in the season. It has been seen for sever al weeks that Mobile had the best team in the league, and so far as the fans in this city were concerned they gave up al lhopes of wrestling the pen nant from her early in the struggle.

>~~~S~~~-~~-~-~~~~~~~~~~ countdy. and yet, when the convention is held, the southern delegations all most certainly will be found lined up pretty solidly for the administration. Tn ere was a time when N was said that Fairbanks had invaded the south with a compact organization. He has certainly done peter there than in the east and the far west, but, on the other hand. Cannon is equally fortunate, and inc conclusion is irresistible that men like the speaker and the Vive Presldeht are naturally sought as candidates by those who for one reason or another are out of joint with the HdeiohAi 'o ministration.
 It is all the more to Tafts credit that he makes such a surprising show ing in the south. He has more than two and a half times as many votes in that section as Hughes, Fairbanks s. Cannon and Knox put together. Fart of if comes from the loyal adminis- tration followers who know that the president is anxious to see the sec ertarv of war succeed. On the other hand Taft suffffers to some extent In inc south from the Presidents unpopu- larity among the negroes. The Browns- vile episode was within the Juflsdic- ton of the secretary of war, and the negroes hold him at least partially re- snonsible for the results, although the ease was decided and sentence imposed while he was out of the country.
 Discontented Turn to Foraker.
 To how great an extent the Browns vile affair is responsible for the break mn among the southern republicans is shown by the vote given to Senator Foraker of Ohio in response to the Trihune's inquiries. Foraker's name was not on the ballot submitted by this

paper for the simple reason that he was not candidate and never has an nounced himself or been put in nomi- nation formally by his own state. He Is in the same category practically as Root, Cortelyou, La Toilette, and other men in the party of recognized strength and of presidential size. A space was left for the voter to declare himself in the direction of such personal favor ties without interfering with the bal lot on the five principal candidates who are recognized as such the country over. In spite of this fact no less than forty-two ballots contained the name of Senator Foraker as first choice for the President There were many oth- CTS on which, after vote for the other candidates, Foraker's name was favor ably mentioned.
 He has come to represent to the colored people distinct opposition to Presldent Roosevelt, and so it happens that In the southern states, in spite of the fact that his name was not provided for on the regular ballot, he easily outstrips Speaker Cannon as a first choice candidate and practically runs ahead of Fairbanks, Hughes and Knox, when allowance Is made for the doubling up of choices on Foraker by Forakers adherents, many of whom frankly say they vote Tor the other candidates because they know For aker has no chance.
 Root Also Favorite In South.
 For some reason which has not yet become apparent. Secretary Root seems to be a general favorite in the southern states He, too, is not considered suf- ficiently a candidate to have his name regularly inserted on the printed ballot as sent out for the convenience of the voters, but in spite of that fact he was constantly put to the front and has q record of twenty-two votes in the south. This is small enough as the figures go, but it is significant under the circum- stances. Root is not the representative ot any one idea, either for or against the policy of President Roosevelt. He has been with the President on most things. but he has been onnosed to him in his

plenty, and sure King couldnt enjoy more. They
had a small farm and small house, but the farm
gave them enough to ate, and somethn to offer the

knew want, hardship, OR care, and their hearts
like singin' larks. But change them,
an they begun to get too fond of scrapin money

Now, T behold ye, there was wan night torst
of Black Jimm1ny McGroarty of Ednamoc. He
thraversin' alongside the Ainey wather, maxim
torst the large rocks that we call the Steps, across
the river, when he hears behind him what seemed
like three-score of voices all at shoutin',

then dashed the little huntsmen and huntswonen

turn and throw back aggravatin' smile at them

She dashed her pony at the Steps over the river
with as much aise as if it jint1eman's

bounced for the Steps himself, an across them
dashed at his neck's risk to the other side
