MISSISSIPPI MAKES FINE REcoRL
Cattle Shipments increased 800 PEI
Cent Within Five Years.

Jackson.-Mr. G. E. Thomson, repre-
senting the ST. Louis national stock
yards, is in the city for the purpose
Of making a personal study OF the live
stock exhibit at the State fair, and,
incidentally, he brings with him some
statistics that slow very conclusiyely
the growth OF the cattle industry OF
Mississippi, and the fact that the
farmers of the state are being awaA-
ened TO a realization OF the fact that
this is one Of the best cattle raising
states in the Union
For the first eight months of the
current year, the period ending Sep
tember 30th, st. Louis had received
over $50 cars of Mississippi cattle,
containing about 10000 head, and the
number OF cars will easily go TO tina
900 mark before the close of the year.
There is no reason whatever way
Mississippi should not be one Of the
geatest cattle-raising states Of the
Union" said Mr.. Thomson. You have
the splendid ranges, magnificent for
age crops, mild climate, excellent wa
ter, and all other essential conditions.
IF Mississippi viii get rid of the
cattle tick, which causes a deprec1a-
tion in the value of your cattle, it will
mean the establishment of a branch
Of the farming industry that viii bring
millions Of dollars into the state each
year, and add to your wealth in a de-
gree second only to the cotton crop.

News of Interest Gathered from Over the State fos the
Information of Oar Readers.
GOVERNOR FAvoRs AMENDMENT
Urges All Voters to Go to the Polls
one the 9TH of November.

Governor Noel is preparing an ad-
dress 10 the voters of Mississippi urg-
ing them to go 10 the polls at the
regular election in November, give a
good vote to tae Democratic nominees
Tor congress and also vote for the
proposed amendments to the state
constitution providing for an elective
judiciary system 1or circuit judges
and chancellors, and regular biennial
sessions Of The legislature.
The governor is very anxious to
see the three amendments adopted,
believing that they will bring about
much needed reforms. He has been
for the past ten years an earnest ad-
vocate of the elective judiciary sys.
tenn, and, after nearly three years in
the gubernat orial office, charged with
the duty and responsibility OF appoint
ing judges and elancellors, he is
more strongly convinced than ever be-
fore that this power ought to be put
in the hands of the people.
No aggressive fight is being made
against the proposed change in the
Judiciary system, but many of the
prominent lawyers Of the state are in.
clined to regard the amendments with
disfavor, believing that the governor
OF the state is more qualified 20 pass
on tie relative merits and qua'iiCa-
tions of judicial aspirants than the
voters Of the state; that the suggest
ed change will bring the judiciary di
rectly into politics and thereby lower
its standard.
While present indications are that
amendments viii be adopted, there is
a fear prevalent that many OF the
voters will not express a choice on this
specific proposition when they go to
the polls, and in this way they viii
virtually vo against the measures.
Tor instance, if 10000 votes are cast
for the congressional nominees in the
eight districts, and any considerable
percentage of this number neglect
to express choice on the judiciary
amendments, their defeat will be al
most inevitable, for q goodly number
Of voters are certain to cast negative
ballots

COTTON MUST GO HIGHER.
Well-Kncwn Meridian Man Talks 81
Conditions in Market,

Jschson.-"Cotton VIII go to scven-
teen cents before the holidays" said
Col. c. C. Wyatt Of Meridian, who was
in Jackson Monday. 1t cant go much
higher than that" he continued, Tor
when it does, it comes into con petl-
tion with foreign linens and cheap
wool, but l expect 10 see it so to six
teen or seventeen cents and stay
there for some time"
Col. Wyatt mas just returned from
4 trip east, and bases his prediction
on the fact that few Of the mills have
more than enough cotton to run them
over week.
Long staple cotton is working the
trade. There is but little of this cot
ton to be had, and the automobile
manufacturers are afraid they will be
unable to secure a supply sufficient
to meet their own demands. The auto
mobile makers are using a great deal
Of long staple cotton, and the demand
for it is increasing every year. 1t is
used for tops and in the tires, and
other grades of cotton will not do, but
where they are going to get long sta
PIE is a question.
1T is not a question of price with
them, but one of supply, and if the
boil weevil gets into the long staple
belt Of Mississippi it is going to hurt
the automobile industry. They are
going TO Egypt for the long staple, but
the supply is limited, while the de-
mand is increasing, and this cotton
will bring record prices.
81 find Mississippi is attracting a
great deal of attention in the east, p
continued Col Wyatt. People want
to know about this state, and every
where l went they were asking for in
formation. There is a great deal OF
interest in this state and this is prom
ising a great deal for the future.

PANAMA CANAL GATES
10000 Tons of Structural Steel
Will Be Used In Building.

Manufacture of $4,000 tons of steel
for lock gates of the Panama canal at
a cost of $5,50O,0OO has started in one
of the Pittsburg mills. The first ship
ment will be made in three weeks.
The erection of the gates is expect
ed to be started about Jan 1, and 200
experts will be sent to the isthmus for
this work. 1t will require nearly three
years to complete the job.
There will be forty-six sets of gates
of structural steel. Each lock will
have two Of these gates, one leaf of
which will weigh 600 tons and will be
65 feet wide and II feet high There
will be twenty sets Of the gates at Ca
tun, twelve at Pedro Miguel and the
remaining fourteen at Mira Flores.
Half Of one of the biggest plants
here has been given over to the fab
rication of this steel work for the big
canal, which will require some time
owing to the constructive plans SUBJ
mitted by the engineers.

TROOPS FIGHT VICTORIA FIRE
British Columbia City Is Swept by
Raging Conflagration.

Fire in the business section of Vic
toria, B. c., caused a loss estimated at
$2,O00.O0O
Huge firebrands fioated on the high
wind, which swept toward the water
front, and it was with great difficulty
that the firemen, aided by the militia
and the garrison at Work Point bar
racks, kept the flames from sweeping a
broad path to the edge of the water.
Many blazing embers were carried
out over the bay, endangering the ship
ping in the harbor. Several unpro-
tected pleasure yachts caught fire and
burned like floating beacons.
The fire started in the department
store of David Spencer & Co., limited,
one of the largest retail establishments
in Victoria. Famed by a high wind
the flames spread with remarkable ra-
pidity.
The newly-organized fire brigade
found itself unable to cope with the
confagration and the troops were or
dered out. The soldiers not only aided
in keeping order among the frightened
crowds but manned the fire apparatus
and helped the fire brigade combat
the flames.

...ANY PEOPLE DEAD
BY FLOODS IN ITALY
Coast Of Bay Of Naples and
Islands Swept.

Many lives were lost at Cetara and
vicinity and property damage estimat-
ed in the hundreds of thousands was
wrought along the coasts of the bay
of Naples and the gulf of Salerno and
on the islands of Ischia and ProciCa
by a peculiar combination Of the ele-
ments.
The disaster appears to have struck
in the form of a cyclone having three
centers, the first over the island OF
Ischia, the second over the town Of
Tore del Greco on the east coast Of
the bay of Naples, and the third sweep
ing the gulf of Salerno.
Accompanying the cyclone were
cloudburst, tidal wave and violent
eruptions from Mount Vesuvius and
from crater suddenly opened on the
summit of the long-extinct Mount Ep-
omeo, on the island of Ischia.
The towns chiefly damaged are Casa
micciola. Laccoameno, Positano, Tore
Del Greco, Resina and Portici, in the
province of Naples, and Amalf, Vietri,
Majori, Minori, Pontecagnano and
Cetara, province of Salerno. There
were victims everywhere. Thus far
eighty dead have been recovered to-
gether with countless injured.
The total number Of deaths is con-
servatively estimated at from $50 to
200. The streets in many places are
buried under several feet of fluid mud.
The swollen rivers have flooded enor-
nous areas. Details which are slowly
arriving, show that each afflicted town
and village has its own tale of horror.
A dozen were killed here and a score
there. Houses and churches were
razed. Crop losses are incalculable.
The sea off the Salerno coast is COW
cred with wreckage, consisting Of
ruined houses, furniture, timbers,
trees and carcasses of animals. Some
parents, seeing their children in the
engulfing mud, committed suicide. The
mud In some of the valleys below Mt.
Ponce is twenty feet deep.
When the minister of marine
reached Ischia, the islanders mobbed
him, crafty clamoring for food and
tents. More soldiers will be sent
there. The bulk of the inhabitants
are showing the same helpless despair
that was manifested at the time Of
the Messina earthquake. They refuse
to work and leave everything that Is
to be done to the soldiers. Many
persons are still clinging to the house
tops, where they fed to escape the
first torrents of mud and water.
Communication by land with the af-
fected towns is still impossible owing
to the landslide. All the rescuing is
being done from ships. Numbers Of
the injured are aboard the hospital
ships King Victor is here to visit
the stricken area. The pope has sent
money for the sufferers and has ex-
horted the clergy to cooperate with
the government authorities in the
work of relief. When his holiness
learned of the disaster he exclaimed
that the succession of calamities in
Italy was token Of divine wrath.

: TWO AVlATORS INJURED
Brookins and lie Blanc Meet with Ac
cidents at Belmont Park.

Two aviators, American and French
contestants, were injured and their
flying machines wrecked in the inter
national airship race for the James
Gordon Bennett trophy at the Belmont
park meet.
Walter S. Brookins of the American
team, starting in a Wright biplane,
had flown scarcely 1000 feet when he
lost control of his machine and it was
wrecked. Brookins was injured, but
no bones were broken.
Alfred lie Blanc lost control of his
machine at the southeast corner of the
course in the nineteenth lap and his
aeroplane ran into a telegraph pole.
The pole was cut in two and the ma
chine wrecked. LIE Blanc's face was
cut, but his injuries were not serious,
although he was taken to the hospital
for treatment.
Meanwhile Claude Grahame-White,
England, who started ahead of all 9TH
ers, finished the course in the elapsed
time of 1:01:04 $40. He made extra
laps to provide for possible penalties.
