No. 63.
MAN DRINKS
CARBOLIC ACID
FAMILY TROUBLES SUPPOSED TO
HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE
ACT. SOLUTION TOO WEAK-
WILL RECOVER.
A letter was found on his person,
written to his wife, which seemed to
he explaining the matter and the exact
reason for the suicide.
Payne is a young man. some thirty
years old. He has lived in this neigh
horhood for nearly all his life. He has
a wife, mother, sister-in-law and three
children living with him.
Doctor Williams says that the man
will recover.
hester L. Payne, a farmer who lives
at Alex, Okla., a small town a few
miles south of Chickasha, attempted
suicide this morning at 11 o'clock in
Forehand's wagon yard, on North
Peters avenue, by drinking carbolic
acid.
A solution of one pint of water and
one ounce of the poison was mixed
and drank by the man in an effort to
take his life. He would have probably
hit his mark, had Doctor Williams not
heen called at once, and administered
alcohol as an antidote. It was very
plain to see that the man had meant
not to get his mouth burned by the
acid by mixing it with water.
NEXT DRAFT BEGINS
ON 24TH OF THIS MONTH.

boys must answer the draft call be-
ginning June 24, when the first hunch
will go, and the balance at periods of
five days apart. This lot will he scat-
tered to the various training camps of
the south, and this will probably be
the last call until the new lot who
have become 21 years of age since the
registration June 5, 1917, have been
classified.

JOHN FISHER FOR COURT CLERK.
With this issue of the Daily Post
appears the announcement of John
Fisher for court clerk.
John is .'J4 years of age, and has j
heen a resident of Cleveland county j
since 1902, sixteen years; born in
Kansas, and al the age of three moved ;
to Cook county, Texas, and attended
1 he Gainesville city schools until he!
moved with his parents, who located'
two miles east, of Norman, on what is
known as the old Sullivant farm,
there, and within a radius of five j
miles he has been farming, until he
moved to Norman in January, 191.
where he is now at work and taking
advantage of the good schools to
educate his four children.
John is known by his numerous
friends as an industrious, capable,
and ambitious young man. and Uli.
have the highest regard for his in
tegrity.
Being a farm hoy all his life and
animated with the inspiration to grasp
the opportunity to reach the goal of
success, which is set by all ambitious!
young men. he presents himself to the
voters of Cleveland county for an op-
portunity to make good in the import-
ant office to which he aspires. He
asks that you investigate his effi-
ciency to run the office. He promises
to devote thoroughly his entire time
to the work in the office, and to man-
age it as economically as possible, if
elected.
John has never asked for an office
before. He has been a true-blue Demo-
crat all of his life, and has done all
within his power for democracy He I
asks that the voters give him due con j
sideration, which" will be very much
appreciated, before casting your ballot |
at 1 he Democratic primary 011 August 1
ti, 1918.
Owing to the interest of the people
being centered at this time upon win-
ning the war, Mr. Fisher will not
make much of an active campaign, and
wishes the people to know that he
feels that he is in sympathy with that
1 attitude toward everything pertaining
j to patriotic action and concurs in the
belief that those things constitute the
paramount issues and that they should
I have the first consideration at
hands of the people

ANOTHER NORMAN BOY, FRANK
CLAY, WRITES FROM FRANCE.
Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Clay received the
following letter from their son, B. F
Clay Jr., who is now in France with
the colors. The letter proves con
clusively that Cncle Sam is putting
the word "conservation" into actual
practice, as it is written on the inside
of the envelope and the envelope is
pasted together after the letter is
written, thus doing away with writing
paper entirely and also saving post-
age from bulky letters. The letter
was written on Mothers' Day and ar-l
rived in Norman today. It follows:
A. K. F.. in France. May 12. 191X
Dear Mother and Father: As the day
is Mothers' Day 1 thought I would
send you a few words. Everything is
about tiie same at this place and not j
much doing at the present time, and
only once in a while things open up
pretty lively.
I am working at a dressing station
and am on night duty and do my sleep
ing in the day-time. We don't have
much to d<>. only have a few patients
coining in and they are mostly fever
and light touch of gas. But there is
no telling when we will have plenty
to do for it might happen just any old
time I can hear the big guns every
once in a while, but have had no big
fight on this front for over a month
How is everything around Norman
and how is Mollie and the rest getting
along?
I will have to close, so. with love
to all, I am as every, lovingly.

H. L. MULDROW HONORED.
The state food administrator has
tendered the office of assistant state
food administrator to 11 I«. Muldrow,
of this city. Mr Muldrow is at pres-
ent county administrator, and is.
probably the only man in the state
who is giving his office his entire
time. The promotion is tangible rec-
ognition of his efficient services in his
present capacity. As is well known
the food administrator gets no salary
and there is no small amount of work
attached to the office; hence, anyone
who serves, does so from purely patri-
otic motive.
Mr. Muldrow has not yet decided to
I accept the place as assistant state ad-
ministrator, as he would then be
his headquarter# in
and as Mr Falmer, his
call, Mr. Muldrow -
A CORRECTION.
in writing up the Robinson case,
the Post gave the names of the gen-
tlemen who went out last Sunday and
brought Robinson to Norman. Our in-
formant did not give us the name of
Deputy Sheriff Ben F Clay, who was
the arresting officer, and who was
really the man who was acting in of
ficial capacity. This was an over-
sight in the strictest sense of the
word, and we wish to make it plain
that we endeavor to get all the data
for every item we publish as correct 1>
as possible, and in detail. If we fail
in this it is due either to oversight or
because we are not correctly in-
formed.
