Bildo leads Marion w. Kelly, H. M.
Quin, j. r. Tally and P. S. Stovall for
governor of Mississippi by 1892 votes,
according to returns compiled by the
Times-P icayune.
State Senator Lee M. Russell leads
Bunyan Carter for lieutenant governor
by $4,000 votes, according to the same
count.
Returns are incomplete in one coun-
ty, Jackson, for governor, and in the
race for ieutenant-governor the vote

strongholds. The final count will leave
Russell's lead, it is believed, unchang-

The sympathy of the average person
goes out TO the more unfortunate in
life, but there be few who are willing
to give their services to this kind of
work. 1t requires patience and es-
pecially self sacrifice to reach out and
help the depressed. We believe that a
person is nearer the cross of calvary
when they are extending the hand of
assistance to the needy in life than at
any other time. This was the mission
of the Man of Galilee. Why not yours?
There are many families in Lancaster
in want-some who have not really
enough to eat or wear; others very
little fuel. Some will say these un-
fortunates should have worked during
the summer and fall instead of idling
away the hours. That, perhaps, is a
logical argument, but must the little
children suffer because of the neglect
Of parents? There are few families in
Lancaster or vicinity but what have
clothing, shoes and other wearing APP
parel that they could donate to cause
of this kind, without depriving them
selves. So as the holidays approach,
make some boy or girl, or even an
older person happy by giving some
thing out your abundance.

a charming setting for the wedding.

the White House Conservatives.
The fine new carnat;on, now under
cultivation. which is to be named the

the Presidents bride, is being forced by
careful nursing, to reach its full glory
in time for the wedding. Lilies of the

used in the decorations, together with
Mrs. Cats ravorite orchids, for which
the White House Conservatives are
famous.
Few know what gown the Presi-
dents bride will wear. Many boxes
and packages Of all sorts have been de-
lievered at her residence the last few
days. many of them bearing the New
York postmark. 1t is believed that if she
purchased her wedding gown in New
York, it has not yet been delivered. 1t
is virtually certain that Mrs. Gait did
not purchase the gown in Paris at the
expense of 81, 300. as il was rumored.

wear a simple gown. One creation has

heart, They would be glad to see his

will pitch in and not only offer up a
prayer for Governor Stanley's admins
tration, but aid him in every way pos
sible to place the old state high up in
the list of great commonwealth of the
nation. Without your help he is help
less. Without the aid of the legisla-
ture his work for the good of the state
will amount to nil. If the lobbyists

THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

The growth and magnitude Of the
automobile industry is marvellous.
The growth Of the electric industry
alone rivals il. Together they are
modifying our social life in a bewilder-
ing manner, and have an economic i'm
portance of the first rank. The value
of the automobiles sold in the last fsca,
year was s625. 600, 900. The exports
reached 500. 200. 900. The industry
consumed 10, 900, 900 barrels of gasoline
and 20. 900. 600 gallons of lubricants
Eight million tires were used, and there
were 81 200 workmen employed in a
single State, while there were 44s fact
cries in "a States.
Amazing as these figures are in
themselves, their influence upon the
affairs of our times can only be real
lied when their reaction upon other in
dustries is added to the picture. It is
said that motor vehicles travelled ten
billion miles. If there were no more
than three passengers in each vehicle,
that is thirty billion passenger miles.
The steam railways report that in the
same year they carried 1883. 600, 900
passengers an average Of 81 miles for
each journey or passenger mileage
of "a, 600. OO0, 900.
There is no wonder that the railways
are feeling the competition of the auto
mobile. and that the jitneys have
thrown some electric roads into pow
erty. The automobile and the tele-
phone together have done more than
all the uplifters to encourage the
black to the land" movement. Many
farmers now live in towns and go to
their farms as men of business go to
their offices. Many other farmers are
content to remain ON the farms which
are annexed TO the towns as truly as
the towns are annexed to the farms
The territory convenient to cities has
been vivified astonishingly. Thou
sands buy acres, adding the price Of
an automobile to their investment. and
then are independent of other forms Of
travel. There can be no doubt that hun
dreds of millions of real estate values
have been created in the manner,
while the effect upon good health is in
estimable. both in the sense that the
figures cannot be given and that they
are beyond price. 1t is said that there
is now one automobile to each mile Of
public road, and almost one to each
square mile Of territory. That must
be powerful stimulant to the good
roads movement. and that in turn adds
value to all farm lands. 1t has been
said that there is no value in farms
over ten miles from railway, because
the cost Of the wagon haul absorbs the
profit of the crops. Those figures must
be revised when the roads are carried
to the farms and the cost of the haul
is reduced by the economy Of motor
carriage.
