TALLADEGA

Talladega. November 6.--(Special)-- The singular phenomenon connected with the reception of the news of the great democratic victory was the fact that it was received in dead silence. Not a cheer or yell from anyone WAS heard.
 The first precinct to send in returns scored a majority for Roosevelt of 16 votes. there being only 21 votes in that box. This was the only beat in the county where the bull moose candidate won out. With but five precincts 10 hear from Roosevelt's total vote is 339, Taft SC, Wilson 1190. Blackmon for Congress runs with Wilson, the oppo sition being divided between Long shore and Sturdivant, with Longshore slightly leading, but the aggregate Of republican votes not amounting to 400 ns against 1250 for Blaekmon. The total vote of the county will reach 1700. The five boxes remaining to be heard from will add majority of more than l00 to Wilson's vote and Blackmons vote. Srhe total republican vote of the coun- ty will scarcely reach 300, the demo- cratic vote being 1900.
 Every precinct in Talladega county gave an overwhelming ma ajority for the anti-fee constitutional amendment. Thirteen precincts out of IS voted ll7O for the amendment and 124 against IL. The remaining five boxes will add loO votes for the amendment, or more IL
 is safe to state that the amendment has received in Talladega county l4oV votes as against 200 contra.

The proposed hstie bout between young Jeffries and Charlie Lawrence, which was to have been held at the Bir- mingham Athletic club Tuesday night, was called off when President Solon Ja- cobs of the association received notice from the sheriff that the proposed bout was in violation of the law, and could not be held under any circumstances.
 Promoters of the bout were notified to this effect about o'clock Tuesday night. Officers appeared at the club to see that the bout was not attempted.
 Such a precaution was not necessary, however. The athletic club officials im- mediately stopped the proceedings.
 In a speech announcing the calling off of the bout, President Jacobs of the athletic club stated that certain parties and organizations in the city who are opposed to any sport of this nature. had interfered in the matter and had found upon the statutes an old law, which, be- Ing strictly interpreted, prohibited the bout from being held.
 MT. Jacobs had the law investigated by two attorneys and they declared that of ficials had the power, under the same, to prohibit the bout. No blame was placed upon the authorities, by Mr Ja- cobs. He did say, however, that the law by which the bout had been prohibited was an old and dead one, like many oth- CTS on the statutes which are never en- forced According to a strict interpre- tation of some of these laws" said MT
