OIL MARKET
IS VERY WEAK

Jackson, Miss, Oct. A better
quality of oil is being made from Mis-
sissippi's cotton seed crop during the
past week, according to local manu-
facturers, and some of the plants are
turning out oil of prime quality.
Despite the acknowledged short
ness of the cotton crop in this state
there has been no advance in the
price of cotton seed, and quotations
are holding a close relation to the
declining cotton market. The four
mills in Jackson are paying SIG per
ton for seed, f. o. b. at stations, and
managers state that higher price is
not justified, for the oil market is
exceedingly weak, and there are no
indications that an advance will take
place at any time in the near future.
The Illinois Central strike thus far
has not impeded the movement of
cotton seed and products to any seri-
Gus extent, and local plants have suf-
ficient seed supplies to keep them 60
ing for several weeks.

Country People Not Here In Numbers,
But Better Crowd Expected
Friday.

The prosperity celebration and corn
show opened this morning, and while
out-of-toWn visitors are scarce today,
the town folks are turning out to the
exhibits in good numbers. The lar
gest crowd of the show is expected
Friday, the last day of the celebra-
tion, when special rates will be in
force on the railroads; the Gulf and
Ship Island and Mississippi Central
make especially low rates for the day,
and the latter will run a special train
from Brookhaven. The people from
points along these roads are expected
to wait until the last day on account
of these lower rates.
Everything is in readiness for the
aeroplane flights this afternoon and
it is certain that hundreds of people
will be at the field during the exhibi-
tions that on any other occasion would
stay at home. This will be the first
opportunity South Mississippi has had
to see one of the flying machines.

Amusing Features of Conn
Trial of McLaurin Saturday

were not present. Mr.. Conn insisted
that the case be heard and jury was
impanneled; Cooper testified that
Conn had never offered to let him
have money with which to buy a place
nor had he solicited his vote The
jury quickly acquitted Conn of the
charge.
The trial developed an amusing fea-
ture, however. When the question
was asked Cooper IF any one else had
offered him any inducements for his
vote" he promptly replied that Judge
fairfield had offered to help him get
place if he would support the
Judge" This line of testimony was
quickly put stop to by the J. of P,

on trial and anything further along

London, Oct 4.-The lapse of an
other day leaves the Turko-Italian
war without further development.
There is no confirmation of a reported
bombardment today of Tripoli which
appears unlikely to have happened as
it will be several days yet before the
expeditionary force is ready to leave
Italian shores.
Apparently the Italian government
is apprehensive that the Turkish fleet
may be able to hamper the passage of
transports and great precautions. are
being taken. The expedition will be
started from ports in two sections to
minimize that danger and evidently
/ Italy is in no hurry to get the expe-

for the delay Of warlike preparations
is the continuance of the Turkish cab

STRIKERS RECEIVE
( LITTLE SYMPATHY
Business Men Resent Fact That the
Strike is Called in the Busy
Season.
Special to The Ne0S.

Jackson, Miss, oct. 3.-One OF the
significant local aspects of the pres
ent strike on the Illinois Central is
the lack of sympathy being expressed
in behalf of the strikers by business
men and public generally.
Last year when the freight clerks
lu the Queen a Crescent system de
alared a strike a large element of pub
he sympathy was with them, despite
tla fact that the strike proved a fail.
uro The first mass meeting held by
the strikers at the county court house
was largely attended, and the strikers
wore given very liberal support
v a he present instance this element
\, aadng, insofar as Jackson and the
surrounding territory is concerned
While. of course. the strikers have
friends who are in thorough sympathy
with them, the general feeling is fai
from sympathetic.
This, perhaps, is due in a large
measure to the fact that the public
realizes the gravity of the situation
Especially is this ! ~ in business
circles where there is a full realiza
ton of the decentralization likely to re
suit from impairment of railroad serv
ice at the busiest period of the year
Business men, as a rule, are moi
stopping to argue the merits of the
contentious set up on either side o
the question. AS one Jackson whole
sale merchant expressed it this morn
ing. st is no concern of ours wheth
er it is the railroads or the strikers
who are in the wrong. The fact tha
the strike hurts us, and thousands o
other innocent persons who outnum
ber the striking employees and th
railroad stockholders many time
over, is the point that concerns us
Naturally, we cannot be expected t.
