PRIC ES OF FARM PRODUCE.
The prices of farm products during
t/it Republican and Democratic ad-
ministrations, I can tell, as having a
fairly good memory, I remember the
prices of corn and cotton at different
times. It is true that cotton went
down to 4 1-2 cents in 1894, but did
not stay there long as it was about H
cents in 1805 and 189(5.
In 1897, cotton was early in the sea-
son, and started at 7 cents, and went
down and it was from about Jan. 1 of
1H98 till about Sept. 15, 1899 that cot-
ton sold for 4 1-2 to G 1-2 cents. What
ij cotton today ?
Answer—$100 to $110 per bale,
seed and all. The only time I ever ha<i
to pay boot between the seed and th:
ginning was in 1898, when we had a
republican president.
JOHN M. HEWITT.
THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY.
Our citizens are asked to vote, next
Tuesday, a perpetual tax of $2,000.00
a year to maintain a twenty thousand
dollar Carnegie Library Building
(r.ot library.)
This building is not needed. In the
state of Texas twenty-eight sucn
buildings reverted back to the Carne-
gie Corporation during the years
1915-1916.
Our Public City I«i: rary is getting
along nicely this year on $780.00, of
which $480.00 goes to the Librarian,
and IMO for books and magazines;
for the two preceding years it had but
$700.00 a yea'.. This shows that the
statement, published recently, that
'two thousand dollars a year is but
little in excess of the present cost of
maintanance" of our libiary is incor-
rect.
The Public Library is suitably lo-
cated at the City Hall in large and
well furnished rooms which would
not otherwise be occupied, and where
the only overhead expense, aside from
the Librarian's salary, is for light—
the City being at no extra expense
for janitor service or heating. The
location is ideal, and the facilities
ample for a city twice the size of
Lawton.
Our Public Library Board is com-
posed of public spirited professional
ten who havo t'10 welfare of the li
?arv at heart, and who ha"3 beer
♦nost crenelous in givin.? it their tim
nnd attention. At the i.ibrary Bonn'
meeting last Ap- il the following re-
solution was unanimously adonted
•nd duly published: "Resolved, That
| it is the sense of the Library Bonn!
that we cannot recommend the estab-
lishment of a Carnegie Library, caus-
ng an added taxation to the already
overburdened taxpavers of the city."
The above resolution is the sun-
. tance of a resolution offered by Sen-
ator T. P. Gore, and unanimously
adopted by the Library Bo ,rd sever-
al years ago. when the Senator was n
member of our Public Library Board.
The Senator said: We are not build-
, ing monuments to Andrew Carnegie:
we need our money for hooks.'
At that time the assessed valua-
tion of the city was over one million
dollars higher than it is now and the
bonded indebtedness was less. If the
Library Board was right in rejecting
the Carnegie proposition then, it
certainly is right now.

TO THE VOTERS OF COMANCHE
COUNTY.
Being unable to sec all of the voters
personally J. S. Pearson, candidate on
the republican ticket, desires to place
his claims before the voters for the
office of County Weigher.
John S. Pearson is or ought to be
known to every voter in Comanche
county, is a 1901er having completed
one of the first buildings in Lawton
for business purposes, has never held
any political preferment. To those
who know him it is useless to tell of
his honesty and integrety, to those
who don't, ask your neighbor, banker
or merchant and he will abide by their
verdict.
And especially to the farmers and
stockmen of Comanche county is this
plea directed for with J. S. Pearson
as your weigher yon need not fear
that your weight ticket will not call
for the actual net weight of your
grain, cotton or live stock.
John S. Pearson is able and quali-
fied to fill this position to which he
aspires and if eelcted will see that
both purchaser and seller are treat-
ed with the same fairness that has
ever been his custom in all business
deals in the past. He invites investi-
gation of past fifteen years residence
in Lawton.
Thanking you in advance he leaves
his case to the jury of voters who will
render their decision at the polls

who shall be selected to fill the office
of county weigher for the next two

SUSPECT YOUR KIDNEYS
Too Many Lawton People Neglect
Early Symptoms of Kidney
Trouble.
If your hack is lame—if you feel
dull, tired and all-worn-out—
If you have hard headaches, back-
aches and dizzy spells—
If the kidney secretions are dis-
ordered—
Suspect your kidneys and "take a
stitch in time."
Use Doan's Kidney Pills, the time-
tried, home-endorsed kidney remedy.
It may save you from some serious
kidney trouble.
Make use of Mrs. Manskey's state-
ment.
Mrs. Joseph Hanskey, 912 H Ave.,
Lawton, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills
were taken by one of my family, who
was afflicted with pains in the hack.
They acted promptly in giving relief
in That case as well as in mine."
