MARTIN WINS OVER GUEY.
DAN BY 1900 VOTES.
THIRD DISTRICT VOTE.

Practically complete figures
from the Third District Wednes-
day remove all doubt Of the cleo
ton of Judge Whit p. Martin to
Congress, to succeed r. F. Brous-
sard, by a decisive majority. II.
l.. Gueydan, Democratic nominee,
and Senator Walter J. Burke,
who was head of the committee
managing the Democratic cam
paign, conceded Judge Martin s
election.
The results in Vermilion and
Lafayette constituted the real sur
prises of the days voting. La
fourche, Terrebonne and Assump-
/, ton were conceded to Judge Mar
tin, the activity of Sheriff Tom
Peterman gave him the advant-
age in St. Mary and the failure
of Congressman Broussard to re-
turn to Louisiana or to take any
part in the campaign while his
brother was active in the cam
paign made it not improbable
that Iberia would land in the
Progressive column. But ST.
Martin was expected to give 200
majority to Gueydan; Vermilion,
his home parish, 1000 or more,
and Lafayette from 500 to 700.
st. Martin, however, is so close
that with only one box having
eight votes to hear from the re-
turns are tie between Martin
and Gueydan, the Lafayette ma.
jerity for Gueydan is only 26S,
and the Progressives are less
than 100 votes behind the Dem
ocrats in Vermilion, with only
three precincts to hear from.
Lafourche on the other hand,
stood well behind Martin, her ma
tive son, his majority being 525,
with three precincts yet to be
heard from, and the majorities
for Martin. Iu Terrebonne. Dem
ocratic hopes were greatly disap-
pointed. Judge Martin coming
within five votes fgetting a ma
jority of 400. I'm st. Mary also
the majority Of 314 against Guey-
dan was greater than had been
expected. In Iberia, Martin s
majority was $50.
In the city districts the Pro-
gressives made very poor show
ng. Both Dupre and Estopinal
won by sweeping majorities. Mr..
LeBourgeois vote in New Or
leans was only a little over 1900,
and Mr.. Burns a little over 900.
Bernard and PlaqUemines gave
Gen. Estopinal large majorities
and Dnpre carried Jefferson, st.
Charles and st. John. Mr.. Le-
Bourgeois held his own parish,
s.. James, by a majority Of 20.
He received 3l2 votes and Mr..
Dupre 2S2.

PLANT HOGS.

There is more money in 300
pound hog than in a bale of cot
ton. He is not affected by boil
weevil, drouth nor food, and
there is practically no uncer-
tainty about the price. The hog
does his own growing and while
he is at it you can be doing some
thing else. If you keep your
cotton growing you have to work
at it every day, and when you go
to pick it you have to put in the
nights and a few Sundays and
hire somebody to help you. Plant
hogs.-Bryan Eagle.

NOT LIVING up

FIRST COMPLETE REPORT or
VITAL STATISTICS UNDER
TIE NEW SYSTEM.
DISEASE MORE CONSPICUOUS
Tables Indicate That 6Ioodshed Among
the Mountains 10 No Greater In
Proportion Than Elsewhere.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Frankfort, Ky--Unless one accepts
the cynical suggestion that in the
mountains homicides are recorded az
deaths from natural causes, according
to the first complete report OF the vital
statistics under the new system OF
registration, Kentucky's historic feud
country is not living up to its reputa
ton In the ratio of violence against
human life, and tuberculosis, typhoid
fever and other unTomantic enemies
of human life are much more conspic.
uous In the tables of mortality. The
shade of difference between the ratio
of losses by preventable diseases In
the mountains, Bluegrass and cities is
not discTedtable to the mountains. .
Typical counties selected from the
self-explanatory tables indicate that
bloodshed among the mountains is nc
greater in proportion than elsewhere
though the report does not distinguish
between accidental deaths and homi
oides. Railroads and Industries may
swell the average, especially in coun.
ties containing cities.
Bourbon county is typically Of the
Bluegrass. 1t had 20 deaths by VIC
lence in 294 and 81 in the hundred by
preventable diseases. Woodford is an.
other, with IL by violence in 172 and
A in the hundred by pTeventable dis
eases. Elliott, deep in the mountains.
without railroads, had by violence
in 1873, which gives 1t about Az in the
hundred and 80 by preventable dis
eases. Knott had deaths by violence
out of 81 and an average of SO to the
hundred due to preventable diseases
Christian county is typical of the
rich Western Kentucky agricultural
counties. 1t had 80 deaths by violence
out OF 613. or about 6 In the 100. and
IL deaths out Of 100 were caused by
preventable diseases.
Knox county is a mining county In
the mountains. 1t had 80 deaths by
violence out of 219, or about 16 in the
100, and "a in the 100 were due to pre-
ventable diseases
Letcher. another big mining county
had Is deaths In 100 caused by VIC
lence. and So OF the 100 from prevent
able diseases.
Breathitt, with its new railroad con
struction and mining development. had
Is deaths by violence in total Of 107
and 46 In 100 were due to preventsbls
diseases.
Jefferson had 4,533 deaths, of which
324 were due to violence, or upward
of in the 100. while 80 in the 10C
were due to preventable diseases.
Fayette had 80 deaths by violence

WHITE BURlEY TOBACCO
Experts Predict a Light Yield-Reduc
ton OF Fifteen Per Cent.

Lexington, Ky.-That the crop oil
white Burley tobacco will fall consid
erably short OF last years crop is the
consensus of the reports received from
practically all the counties of the Bur
ley belt by the Burley Tobacco Co. al
its headquarters in this city. The
reports, which cover conditions up tC
the last few days. indicate that, even
with favorable weather conditions, the
crop of this year will not be more than
S. per cent OF that of last season, and
as last years crop was also a very
short one. It is estimated that the pro
duction this year will be decidedly the
smallest for a number of seasons
Therefore the prices are expected tc
be high, and it is prophesied by to
bscco men here that the market will
open in November with sales on 0
scale decidedly above those OF pre-
ceding years.
