estimate of s00,o00 plurality has over shot the mark. Comparisons are being made with the Mckinley campaign Of 1900 and the fear is that the vote VIII be but half the plurality of sos.eeY rolled up for Roosevelt in 1904 It IS believed that Taft's plurality win not equal McKinley's plurality in 1900 when Pennsylvania gave him 2ss.0oo.
 There is also apathy among the Dem ocrats. The unhorsing of Col. J. M. Guffey at Denver has curtailed much of the customary contribution, and It Is believed that the loss. of Republi- can votes to Taft will be largely offset by failure of many Democrats to vote. Money stringency has prevented many Republicans who usually vote from paying taxes and voting, the shrinkage in the registered vote revealing this.

WEST VIRGINIA.
Taft Win Carry State With Plurality
 Below That of Roosevelt.

T AaAt VIII CMkFys EAafe Wtkh kstWF0I1ry
 Belovy That of Roosevelt.
 Charleston, w.. Va. Saturday, Though there will be reduction in the Republican majority. the electoral vote of West Virginia will be for Taft
 Because. of tFe disturbed conditions created by the Republican row over cause of the. industrial depression in the manufacturing centres of the State. Taft will be deemed lucky if he gets half Roosevelts plurality of 3f,7se.
 As for the. Governorship. 1t Is in doubt. The forecasts from the various counties of the State indicate that the Republican nominee. w. E. Glasscock, will not receive the same number of votes as Taft. The margin of Repub- lican majority being already narrow as indicated by the predictions as to the Presidential vote, the chances are against rather than for the nominee of that party. The Democratic, nonit- nee, Lewis Bennett, will receive the full vote ofshis party and his managers say that their poll indicates a plural ity of 15.000 for him. The State Com mittee of that party. announces that Bryan will run as well. or nearly so. as the State, ticket and will carry the State by decisive majority. s.-
 The railways and the lumber, coal, iron and pottery interests which profft by the protective tarfff and furnish employment; to thousands, are making 6 concerted effort on behalf of raft and the Congressional candidates and this, 1t is thought, will offset the fac tional quarrel over the government Of the state.

HIS OWN CORN CROP
 WOULD HELP FARMER
MF. Seymour wouSd Propose n sethoa for Making the Southern Farmer
 Endememaenf

MF. Seymour Would Propose a Method
 for Making the Southern Farmer 1ndependent.
 Director ". s. Seymour. of the state Bureau of Cotton Statistics, in discussing the coming meeting of the cotton growers at Memphis, said yes. terday that one of the most important factors bearing upon the solution of the situation would be the growing of all corn. used in the South
 MT. Seymour if he goes to Memphis Will strongly urge upon the confer ence the advisability of giving the widest publicity to the Williamson corn method as means of making the Southern farmer independent and enabling him to hold his cotton.
 In discussing the proposed Memphis meeting, Mir. Seymour said yester- day:
 T can not say positively that shall go to Memphis. but will do So if I possibly can. The meeting is a very important one. and no doubt will do much good. The people of the South were never more interested in the price of cotton than they are today. It goes pretty hard with them to see 1t going for 8 1-2 to g cents per pound when for the last three years 1t. has been selling for from 10 to IA cents.
 Should go to Memphis 1t would be for the purpose, in the main, of bringing the attention of the conven- ton to the Williamson corn method, with the hope of having campaign launched in other States similar to that now on in Alabama. Temporary relief may result from, such a meet ing as that proposed for Memphis. but do not believe that we can ever make 1t permanent until the farmers of the South grow their own corn. The saving to them would not only con- sist in the many millions of dollars, which each year they send out for bread and meat, but the Increased price they would be able to command for their cotton. t4N
 ''As, everybody. who Is interested Is invited to attend there will be no del- egates appointed. Asked as to the progress being made by farmers in the picking of cotton. MT. Seymour said that he expected the next ginners' re- port on the 2sth to show more cotton ginned to October IS, the date to which the report was made, than ever be- fore to the. same date. He does not consider this as being any index what. ever as to the size of the crop, but attributes 1t entirely to the rapid opening and unusual favorable weather for picking.

 cultural Fair.
 One of the largest exhibits at th' Alabama Agricultural Fair, in fact th' largest exhibit of any individual firm was that of the Loeb Carriage. ant Supply Co, of Montgomery, which oc. cupied nearly all of the middle DOT. tion of the Main Exhibit Building and the comments that were lavishet on this exhibit prove exclusively thai nearly everybody who went to the fall saw the Loeb Exhibit and nearly everybody was favorably impressed with the enterprise which made 1t pos sible.
 It was therefore only fitting thai this concern should have carried oil seven of the first prizes offered This is rather a remarkable achieve ment. when it is taken into considera' ton that there was no limitation as to who could compete for the various prizes, they being open to all the world, and all of these first prizes were therefore won in face of all thu competition.
 Only Oliver Flows and Agricuitural Implements, and Pruden Buggies were exhibited. and 1t was on these that at of the prizes were won.
 There was quite contrast In tne way the Loeb exhibit was lighted. be- ing so we'll lit that 1t was Kept as bright as day even until the buildings were closed at midnight. There was no time. trouble or expense spared te make the showing a noteworthy one and the Loeb Exhibit was Tn Ve.s truth q great credit to the Far. m Loeb Carriage 6 Supply Co-, IS 10 p' congratulated on their showing.

Anniston. otc 24--(Special)- )--During the performance of Sparks show yes- terday at Piedmont. a vicious lion came near killing little son of Homer Smith. who lives in the country from Piedmont. the particulars of which are said to be about as follows:
 The little boy. who is some six or seven years old, was standing with his parents near the lions cage. and while watching the other animals per- form, unguardely put his hand up against the cage. The lion. seeing the boy thus resting hls hand on the cage. sneaked around his mate and grabbed the boy's hand in hts paw. holding him in vice-like grip. and. reaching out with the other paw, caught the boys clothes and did hts best to pull the chiIds body through the bars of the cage. So strongly did the beast pull at the boy as to actually bend the bars. And the vicious beast held on

NORTH DAKOTA.
Republicans Expect to Defeat Two Democratic Representatives and
 Elect Senator.

Bismarck, N. D.. saturday.-The cleo toral vote of North Dakota will be cast for William H. Taft by ma jority perhaps less than that given for Roosevelt In 1904. Roosevelt obtained a good many Democratic votes that this year will be cast for Bryan. Taft will receive tho normal Republican vote on an increased total.
 The vote in this State is largely ag- ricultural. and fair crops and high prices will result to the advantage of the Republican candidate.
 Reports from all parts of the State indicate a normal Republican vote on President, and the Democratic lead CTS in the State make no serious claims of carrying the State for Bryan.
 On Governor indications favor the election of c. A. Johnson. Republican, over John Burke. Democrat. Burke Is a candidate for reelection and was elected two years ago because Of a bitter factional fight in the Republi- can party.

Pittsburg, Pa, Tuesday-Lack of in- terest in the campaign because of the customary overwh elming Republican plurality, unusual discontent on the part of the laboring classes and the de- crease in the registered vote, lead to the conclusion. among conservative politicians that the plurality this fall for Taft in Pennsylvania will not ex- eeed 250, ,O00 to 275,000 unless some sem sational features favorable to the Re- publican candidate are injected into the fight between now and election time.
 So far the campaign has been one of the most coIorless sort and there are many who believe that Senator Knox's
