DEMOCRATS SEE
RIFT ~ CLOUDS
CLAIM MADE OF FIFTEEN MAJOR
ITY FOR WILSON GIVES
THEM HOPE.

Election reports received at z
o'clock this morning very materially
revived the spirits of the democrats
of this city and county. The claim
made by the national democratic com,
mittee of Is majority in the electoral
college was given wide circulation and
large number of democrats fiocked
to The Herald for some confirmation
of the claim, which was based upon
the leads given Wilson in latter re-
turns from the Western states, which
in the earlier hours of the election
shown drift towards Hughes.
Even the republicans who had gone
to bed happy in the thought that there
would be four more years of G. o. p.
rule in the nation became alarmed
and looked at each other with anxious
faces. More interest by far was shown
in the result here than was manifest
ed during the campaign or at the cleo
ton by both democrats and republi-
cans.

Of MUSCLE SHOALS
RECENT EDITORIAL PRAIsING AD.
vANTAGEs OF SHOALS STRESS.
ES NECESSITY.
GOVERNMENT VERY FORTUNATE
Every Element For Success Of Plant
Located at Alabama Point-Wants
Nitrate Plant to be Located and
Operations to Commence at Once.

Believing that the advantages of the
location of the government nitrate
plant at Muscle Shoals will appeal to
farmers and patriots, The American
Agriculturist has published an edito-
rial in which necessity of the plant is
stressed. The editorial claims that
the government is fortunate in hav-
ing found at Muscle Shoals location
that possesses all the elements neces.
sary.
The editorial follows:
AS soon as election is over, Pres
ident Wilson should proceed to estab-
fish the government nitrate plant for
which the last congress appropriated
s20,O00,OO0. This plant will obtain nj,
trogen from the air, to be used in war
for making powder, and in peace for
fertilizer. At present, the United
States army, navy and agriculture de-
pend upon nitrates imported from
Chile, distance of $500 miles via the
Panama canal, just as we depend upon
Germany for potash. Now that the
latter source is cut off, it is easy to
see the results of any interruption to
our nitrate supply.

Nigh SCHOOL TITLE
TO Be OECIOt0IA
SAIURUSl'S GAME
central AND HUME-FoGG WILL
FIGHT TO A FINISH IN RlV-
ERSlDE PARK.
Hume-Fogs Has Not Been Seriously
Threatened by High School This
season-Huckaby Back to HaIfback
Position After Sojourn in Texas.

When Central High meets Hume
Fogg High School, of Nashville, in
Riverside Park on Saturday afternoon
teh high school championship of the
state will probaly be decided, since
neither of the teams have been de-
feated by a high school during the
present season.
The game without doubt will be
one of the greatest ever played in Co.
lumbia. Both schools have strong
teams this year, teams that have de-
feated almost anything put against
sthem. Both are confident of victory,
but realize that the hardest kind Of
pull will be required to win. These
factors will tend to make the battle
the most desperate staged by the local
school.
Central has been defeated but one
-zime this season, by Massey. The
score of 6 to indicates how we'll
Balanced the twa teams were, and
Massey is conceded to have one Of the
tbest teams in the state. Central has
disposed Of everything else arrayed
against it. In most of the games
great scores resulted. And no high
school has defeated Central during
ahe present season.
Hume-Fogg has also had remark
able season. No high school In the
state has seriously threatened the SUI
premacy of the Nashville institution
In any contest.
Thus, the game on Saturday will be
worth going many miles to see; it will
he game from start to finish.
Central is much encouraged over
sthe return Of Halfback Huckaby to
the game This youth, after suddenly
deciding that the foundation of his
life career could best be laid in Texas,
went to the Lone Star state to try his
fortune. But the smiles of Tennessee
proved to be too attractive, and now
he has re-entered Central and will
play against Hume-Fogg on Saturday.
Huckaby, during the period of his
cavorting on the local eleven was one
Of the most successful ground gamers
on the team, and many yards will be
reeled off under his skillful feet on
saturday.
That game will be game.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. Slater
reports this morning indicate an old.

tire ticket in Tennessee.
All the incumbents are returned to
congress. Moon, in the Third district,
has apparently defeated Littleton by
1000.
Sims, in the Eighth district, defeat
ed Rhodes by something like 500
With reports received from eighty
four counties of the state, Rye is re-
elected by not less than 10000. En-
loe's majority will probably be a few
thousand less or about $1,000. Nickel
lar will probably carry the state by
$4,000. He and President Wilson ran
pretty well together.
The important counties unheard
from include Shelby, Hamilton, Knox,
Campbell, Claiborne, Johnson, Lauder
dale and Scott.
Gov Rye will have friendly legis-
lature by two-thirds majorities in each

1.-THE government nitrate plant
should be so located as to be safe from
an enemy have practically unlimited
hydro-electric power, cheap transpor-
tation by water to much of the United
States, inexhaustible supplies of lime
stone right at hand. 1t should be con-
venient to iron, steel, zinc and copper
for munition manufacture, and to cot
ton for smokeless powder. Besides
all this, for largest volue to agricul-
ture, the government NITRATE plant
should be in the midst of almost limit
less deposits of phosphate rock. Then,
when not busy making explosives, the
plant can turn out vast quantities of
fertilizer rich in either or both nitro
gen and phosphorus, to be sold at low
prices and transported cheaply by riv.
er to the farmers throughout the whole
country. The government is fortunate
in having found site which embraces
all these advantages-at Muscle
Shoals in the Tennessee river, con-
firmed by exhaustive official surveys
by army engineers.
The sooner the government nitrate
plant can begin operations the sooner
will plant good be bore abundant and
cheaper, as well as the sooner will our
country be prepared for defense. The
agricultural phase of this enterprise
we regard as by far the more impor-
tant, and as alone sufficient to justi- !
fly the action of congress. We also
have personally investigated the Mus
Gle Shoals proposition, and believe its
will appeal to farmers and |
patriots. OF all the services which |
American Agriculturist has done for
agriculture, the future may prove that
one of the most helpful was its part in
securing the national law under which |
the government nitrate plant is now
to be established"
