Raid on Distillery

BIS ALFALFA CROPS.
Reports from the four division
offices at Oklahoma City Bhow
that a total of 9 *46 carloads of
alfalfa have been transported out
of the state so far this year, as
against 862 for the corres|>ond-
ing period last year, an increae
of 1084 cars.
Enough is now known to con-
servatively' figure the value of
this year's crop at over seven
millions dollars, which is two
million dollais in excess of the
production of any previous year.
Deputy Sheriffs, Oscar Sweeny
Dug Harmon and E. R. King,
made a successful raid on a lot j
of negro moonshiners Sunday, j
They captured six rfegroes, San-
der Franklin, Fred Lawson, 01-
lie Prince. Will Boyd, Joe Frank-
lin and T. S. McKmilon, and a
complete moonshine disstillery,
with its boiler,pipes and troughts
and a five gallon keg half full of
moonshine whiskey. They
brought the distillery and negros
to town.The distillery waslocated
under a heavy cliff on Massie
creek about two miles east of
Hennepin and some 200 yards
from the Carter county line. The
negroes were engaged in a game
of cards when caught and the
officers found $1.10 when the
the negroes were playing but
none^of the negroes would claim
the money. The six negroes
and the distillery will be
turned over to the federal au-
thorities to be dealt with. The
Federal courts are now prosecut-
ing all bootleggers and other
forms of violation the old Indian
territory liquor laws and it is a
good way to dispose of them—it
stops the expense upon the coun-
ties for trying them.
DIAZ IN MEXICO
Gen. Felix Diaz, nephew of
former President Diaz, is now
the leader of the Mexican revo-
I lutionj His leader ship is looked
! upon by the "War Department as
^ a hopeful outlook for settling the
long turbulent condition of the
republic. Felix Diaz wvas long a
general in the Mexican army un-
der former President Diaz anc\
as a military man he is rated
high .by the American Army.
The fact that what ever of train-
ed military organization is left in
Mexico is expected to desert to
his banner and the further fact
that the old Diaz prestige back
of him, is expected to insure
stability -and strength to the
movement.
WOMEN IN P0LITI6S
It seems that the women of
Oklahoma pay little attention to
the right to vote and from the
way they secuped the votes of
the men in the August primary
it seems they don't need to vote
themselves. There are 25 wom-
en in Oklahoma who are Demo-
cratic nominees for County Sup-
erintendent of Schools, Register
of Deeds, county clerk, and dis-
trict court clerks.
* Gen. Diaz says he has plenty
of money behind him, and he
says under no circumstances will
he accept the presidency
of Mexico. All h e wants is
peace and order for his country
and a just government for the
people, and issues a proclamation
saying just what the govern-
ment shall be, and it is said to
have inspired confidence and en-
thusiasm through the country.
TAX SALE OF LAND
The 4th of November, it be-
ing the first Monday, County
Treasurer J. F. Trimmer, will
begin selling the lands and town
lots of the county for delinquent
taxes 1911. The list is published
in this issue of the Democrat for
the last time. The 1 ist was
much larger than now as many
have paid and taken out of the
list though it is still much larger
than one likes to see. The get-
ing out and preparing such a list
is no small job, and it is a
difficult and technical work that
requires skill" and accuracy as
every item,figure, and letter must
be correct. The work was done
by deputy county treasurer, L.Z.
Ashurst, and treasurer elect Cap
Hoyser, and it was one of the
nicest pieces of clerical work
that has come in to theDemocrat
office and it marks high credit for
Messrs Ashurst and Houser.

THE ALTERNATE SATURDAY CLUB
Miss Low entertained The Al-
ternate Saturday, club last Satur-
nay afternoon and owing to the
long established popularity of
the hostess, a good attendance
was present.
The subject for the program
was travel, the members respond
ingto roll call with the various
modes of conveyance, both an-
cient and modern, beginning with
the humble quadruped that bore
the wise men over the desert up
to the present day aeroplane, in-
cluding a number of descriptions
given in original rhyme. One of
the responses most particularly
enjoyed was a rendition of Long-
fellow's "Birch Canoe." After
roll call, a most cordial letter
from Mrs. G. A. Brown, presi-
dent of the fifth District Federa'
tion was read by the Secretary,
after which two resignations
from members who have left the
city were read and regretfully
accepted, the places at jpnce be-
ing filled by applicants that were
on the waiting list. An appropria-
tion of ten dollars was voted by
the members for text books to
assist in the year's study and af-
tr-r \v-rxi ri 60 bo prcoentod to Wwb

the business session,the splendid
program arranged for the day
was carried out, including music
by the Club Quartette, Mes-
dames Patchell, Lindsay, Bell,

the program a social half hour
was enjoyed, the guests partak-
ing of the delightful refresh-
ments served by the hostess,
each guest being given a beauti-
ful rose as a souvenir' o f the
happy occasion, A profusion of
these beautiful flowers was also
used as decorations throughout
the rooms, their delicious fra-
grance being the mor^ 'relished
by the sad realization that the
rose days will soon be over. Miss
Virginia Allen and Mrs. Wm.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS
The Senate Committe investi-
gating campaign funds has
shown so far the case of the
Presidential nominations as fol-
lows; Roosevelt $936,005, Taft
$378,000, Wilson $215,565.
The other important informa-
tion brought to light by the heat-
ings was the numerous and enor-
mous contributions by corpora-
tions to the Roosevelt campaign
fund in 1904, which amounted to
nearly $8,000,000, but which left
off before 1903 because -of the
Federal Corrupt practice a c t
took effect in 1908.
In keeping with the spirit
which prompted the national
committee to call for special ob-
t servance of the day by democrats
' a statement was issued Friday to
democrats, by Tom C. Harrill,
chairman of the democratic state
central committee; Hubert L.
Bolen, chairman of the democrat-
ic campaign committee, and Ro-
bert Galbreath, democratic na-
tional committeeman from Okla-
The statement is as follows:
"To the Democrats of Okla-
homa: The national democratic
committee has designated No-
vember 2, 1912, as Wilson and
Marshall day, and requested that
the democratic organizations in
each state of our great union
hold as many meetings as poss-
ible on the'afternoon and even-
ing of that day, at which time a
special message will be read from
the next president, the Hon.
Woodrow Wilson. To this end
we most earnestly request that
a ti tlcmvti nwr /«« the rrtntc *
lahoma arrange precinct meet-
ings in the afternoon, and such
meetings as may be advisable at
night in keeping with this call,
and that you impress upon all
your friends that November 2,
1912, will go down in history as
Wilson and Marshall day, the
day upon which the hosts of
democracy of America will sound
the battle call that will mean a
glorious democratic victory on
the 5th, of November.

dont travel right, take him to

MCCLAIN CO. TAX SALE
Judging from the list of town
lots published in the Purcell
Register for delinquent taxes, it
looks like every lot in the coun-
ty is included, or
else there are more town lots
in the county than the present
population needs to improve.
The list covers 40 columns in
the Register.

That New Tailored Suit or Coat you haVe been thinking about. The fact is you will have to hurry if you get the Cieveriest most bev, tch-
ting suit or coat you've ever seen for $18.00 to $25.00. Our fine serge suits at $10.00 have set people to talking. The only reason many lad.es
pay more than $10.00 for better suits is because they cannot get the style and quailty they want at that price. In many instances v\e have an
idea our chic and pretty tailor made suits in Blue, Black, Brown and Tan serge, in styles new and distinctive will prove an eve opener. Few Lke
these were ever sold for less than $18.00.
A New Line. Gossord Corsets for the women who want to be stylishly dressed. While this sale lasts we will sell $5.00 Gossord Corsets
for $3.50. $6.00 GossoVd Corsets at $5.00.
