Roosevelt Forces.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. April 1s-
Director Mckinley of the national
Taft bureau today issued a state
ment calling attention to the use OF
of money in the Roosevelt cam

Roosevelt forces spent large sums
in Oklahoma; that they distributed
100000 in Allegheny county. Pa,
including Pittsburg. by using 10000
pieces of scrip in So denominations
to messengers; that the total Roose-
welt expenditures in Pennsylvania
were between s25O.OOO and $780,
900; and that in New York county
alone 100000 was spent in an en-
deavor to influence the primaries
and efforts were made to buy out"
precinct captains in New York.

Ably Presented as to Progress
and Prospect by
Edmonds.

R!cha~a IL. Edmonds, editor Of The
Manufacturers Record, recently pu5-
llshed the following article IN the
New York Sun:
In the last thirty years the popula-
ton ~ the South has increased 7Z.5
per cent, bun during the same period
the capital Invested in manufactures
increased $40 per cent. the value Of
mineral products 1880 per cent, the
output OF coal 500 per cent. the yaiue
OF farm lands and buildings 20s per
cent. the resources OF national banks
ssl per cent and the expenditures for
common schools 525 per cent. These
( figures indicate something OF the
amazing increase in agriculture, III
manufactures and in banking capital
as compared with the increase In pop
ulauon.
The value OF farm products in the
South in 1850 vas $3.50, 100000. Last
year the amount was over $4,000. 0oo.-
600. and was greater by 5000, 900. geo
than the value of all the farm crops
OF the United States as late as 1880.
The value Of exports from Southern
ports last year was $T4T. 900, 900, as
compared with 1857. 600, GEO for the
entire country in 1890.
In 1890 the corn crop of the coun-
try was 1,4Ss.OOO,OOo bushels, while
the cor crop OF the South in 1910
was ly27O, 100000 bushels Ii is t-ns
that, the corn crop Of the country IN
1890 was less than the average. bnt
these figures give an idea OF the rapid
development OF oosn-gro~lng In the
South. when in one year II could psp-
duce a crop almost as large wen
small crop OF the entire couh.ry N
1890.
The population OF the i6 Southern
States is ~. 100000. while that Of the
United States in 1880 was less tran
the average, but these figures give M
idea OF the rapid development OF corn
growing in the south, when in one
year IT could produce crop aimSs,
as large as even small crop Of the
SHAb GphHAiy III lopVs
The population OF tn sixteen South
ern States is $1,000 900. wai.e that II
the United States in 1850 was 10000
900, but the capiiaIIayested In manu-
featuring in the south is now sS.OOO..
100000, Or s3O0.OOO.OOO more than
the total capital invested in nanufac-
turing in the United states.
The South now has 100000 more
cotton spindles than the united states
had In 1880. The value OF It's mineral
products last year was $685.. oeO, 900. or
$50 900 more than the total vdilb
of the mineral products in the tinted
States in 1880. If
Last year the South mined lis. 06Bs
600 tons of coal. while IN 1880 sshb
United States mined OF bituninoGA
and anthracite coal only ii, 10000
tons.
Possibly the most striking lliustfk-
tion OF the inereasins wealth OF the
South IS that, though It's population is
1900. eco less than that OF the United
States IN 1880, the Individual deposits
In It's national banks exceed the .in-
dlwduai deposits In the national banks
OF the United States In 1880 by 3s4.4
100000.
The South now spends for common
school education over SIS, 100000, or
a little more than the total sxpendl-
lures Of the United States in 1880 10,
common schools. -

 BUFFET LUNCHEON

Miss Mitchell of Nashville was the graceful honoree at Mrs. Albert Dudley Caldwells buffet luncheon, which was one of the bright events of yesterday. The beautiful home of Mrs. Caldwell was adorned for the day in pink Killarney roses. A touch here and there is all that the rooms require to give them charm, for the house is one of the handsomest of the modern structures on the High lands.
 The luncheon was served from the din- ing room where the table held central mound of roses, and the bonbons and ices followed tho Killarney tint. The table was covered with Cluny lace and the can dles topped with crystal shades. Mrs. Caldwell welcomed her guests wearing q becoming white embroidered chiffon gown.

LEGISLATORS HAVE BUSY
 DAY AT JACKSON WEDNESDAY

Jackson. Miss, January 25.-tSpecial)-- The legislative proceedings Wednesday were the most important of the session, matters of general concern being discussed and voted on in both branches.
 The senate spent a considerable portion of the day discussing the proposed juve- nile reformatory as submitted by Senator Donald of Hattiesburg. There was ap- parent strong opposition to the measure because of the fact that negro boys would be the chief benehciaries, but on final vote it was found that the opposition were simply the longest and loudest takers, the vote being two to one in favor of the bill The bill is yet to run the gauntlet of the house, but 1t is believed 1t will also pass there.
 The most important matter before tho house was the bill to reduce the contract rate Of interest from 10 to per cent, but that was considered along with the com panion bill to exempt per cent money from taxation In committee of the whole. The bills had been reported favorably by the committee. but there was an amendment exempting money loaned by building and loan associations, firms or

If anyone has ever had cause to regret any contribution, and I don't believe such is the case, or has questioned for one brief moment the good work done by the District Nurses Association of Birming- ham. let me point out the help that this organization gave in the recent bereave- ment and distress that has come to the walker Family.
 Just what conditions confronted MT. and Mrs. Amos walker. who have recently come among us-strangers in a strange land-have already been exhaustively ohronicled in this newspaper. but in spite of that fact it is true in this, as in all other cases. that there is none who ever knows the inside worlSings' of such sur- roundings like the family physician and the Nurse.
 After won have heard Miss Marie Fors- mans story of the sickness and distress that befell MT. and Mrs. Walker and their children. you will gladly welcome the oc- casjon of the Annual Charity Ball on Easter Monday, to add your mite 10 'he work of the District Nurses Association and I believe you'll really wish that the Charity Ball came around oftener than 1t does-just so you could lend helping hand.

individuals at 10 per cent, when payment was on the installment plan for more than 36 months, as well as a minority re- port against the exemptions.
 Previous to the discussion of the two bills on their merits Speaker Quin ruled that he considered the bills revenue meas ures and that three-ffths of the members present and voting must be in the affirma- tive to pass the bills He vacated the chair to MT. Owen and took the floor In defense Of his position, MT. Johnston of Coahoma taking the opposite side of ths discussion, though several others took a whack at the proposition pro and con. citing rules of Congress as to what con- stituted revenue bill as we'll as decis- ions of the supreme court for and against the ruling of the speaker. However, the house voted to uphold the speaker and q three-ffths majority became necessary to pass the measures, but they both went through as if oiled for the occasion.
 The house proceedings during the morn ing were of lively character, politics bobbing up every now and then to insure close attention. Mr. Bramlett threw the first bomb with a resolution authorizing the committee on universities and colleges to visit the several state colleges at the expense of the house contingent fund, to employ stenographers, subpoena witnesses, etc
