New York Nov. lf. Dr. J. Leon
Williams of London an eminent au

arrived from Liverpool with fifteen
skulls of prehistoric man one of
which lie estimated to be 5i000D years
old. his skull was found by work-
men near Folkesstone. England in
strata that dated hack prior to the
pleistocene era and its existence and
discovery has confirmed Dr. Williams
in the belief that mankind is at least
half a million years old.
Dr. Williams said the findine of
these ancient skulls and other human
bones did not disprove in his opinion
the popular theory of evolution but
altered it in some degree. One of the
chief distinctions between these skulls
and those of apes he said was in
the teeth.

GREAT INDUSTRIAL EDITION.
Huerta Will Not Resign.
City of Mexico Nov. lo. It was
learned today that the American
charge had seen President Hueria
and irom the president himself had
teamed that he would not resign ami
would listen only to such proposal
as were compatible with his own
dignity an-.l that of his country.
This is the substance of a report
vhich it is said Mr. O'Shaughnessy
has made to Washington.
Eleven Officers Executed.
Kl Paso Tex. Nov. 17. The rebel
officials admit the execution of elev-
en federal officers since the capture
of Juarez Saturday but an American
leaving Juarez claims that twenty
three were executed. A federal cenv
Manchester N. H Nov. IS. The
labor and money spent on the Pana
ma canal might have been used to
better purpose on the highways of
this country Oliver Wilson of Illi-
nois master of the National Grange.
Patrons of Husbandry told the dele
gates to tho convention of the Grange
in his annual report today.
The building of the Panama canal
is a national project of which all
Americans are proud yet the same
amount of labor and money spent on
our highways at home could create
benefits nearer and nrobuiiiv mum i
important to our own people" he said.
.llr. Wilson also submitted ideas
from the view point of the farmer re-
garding rural credits savine lone-
time credit at the lowest possible in-
terest should be available for tap
farmer who desired it.
"The sd-o.ajled rural credit ccm-
misaicn." he continued "that
sent to Europe had but very few rep-
resentatives of agriculture; conse-
quently we can expect but little if
any benefit from its report.
"I am opposed to any radical cred-
it system or any other system cf
finance that separates farmers from
other business men. All that we aslc
for the farmer is equal opportunity
with all ether buniness men.'

The Ardmoreite will Issue
as soon as the data can be
collected a i Industrial Edition
covering Ardmore and adja-
cent territory and bringing be-
fcre the world a splendid
issue exploiting all the re-
sources and advantages of
Ardmore and Carter countv.
To make this Issue a success
the Ardmoreite has secured
the services oi Mr. E. E. Hull
and Mr. J. S. Daniels men
who have hail years of expe-
rience in newspaper work
w hose'services addi d to those
of the Ardmoreite force is
sure to give this city an 1
country a paper that our peo-
ple will be proud of and glad
to send to friends away from
here.
The great activity i the
Af lmore oil field is attracting
attention from oil men and
now is the time to tell the
story fully to the outside
world and show them not
only our oil fields but our
commtrcial educational and
ngric iltural advantages located
in the richest section of our
state and which is only par-
tially developed and last but
n"t least by any means the
advantages of lviilding a home
bet e among a p. ople mm pass-
ed bv no community in the
world.
The Ardmoreite asks the
assistance of all business and
professional men to make this
edition a splendid one the
best ever issued in Ardmore.
When the big me-'tiug is held next
y;'r in Tulsa the Ozark Trails Ass'n
wiil meet at the same time with the
congress and Mr. Suggs expects a
State Good Roads Congress to be or-
ganized and chartered that will prove
a yreat power for good in the road
building movement in Oklahoma.
Iii the St. Louis meeting the Tul-
sans yot everything they went in for
and more too. In fact they got some
things for Tulsa and Oklahoma they
never expected to get.
Resides securing the It'll session
o. tln big good roads association the
Tulsa bunch secured several offices
in the organization places on import-
ant committees and had other offices
tendered to other Okiahomans.
I- I). Marr of Tulsa was elected di-
rtctur for Oklahoma and will proba
bly be director-general of the Tulsa
convention. W. O. Dickinson of Tulsa.
Sidney Susies of Ardnuiro si:.t
way commissioner and A. C. Trumbo
of Muskogee were elected vice-presi
dents cf the association. Eugene Lor-
toti chairman of the ThIs-i
tint was made a member of the com
mittee on resolutions and J. Burr Ci'-
bons newspaper correspondent was
made chairman of the committee on
publicity.
It was one of the most successful
and important meeiings of good roads
enthusiasts and experts ever held in
tlie I'nited States.
L. 1). Marr one of the financiers!
and brilliant speakers of Tulsa placed
tile town in nomination for the' next
meeting of die Roads Association.
.Mr. Suggs seconded the nomination
and was allowed but three minutes in
which Lo make his speech. He told
the congress he could not tell of
three blocks in Tulsa in that length
of time much less to sav something
of Oklahoma in general and at the
close of his three minutes he said
there was nothing in the rules to pre-
vent him from singing and with ac-
ordeon music he started in to ilng
-ongs of Oklahoma the spirit of the
occasion swept the audience a band
jf ladies who were loyally fighting for
Tulsa joined in the singing the piano
vas started and the convention was
raptured in a good humored manner
and it never got out of the hands of
the Oklal-jMiians any more.
Mr. Suggs is wild with enthusiasm j
over the kind of men Tulsa sent to
M. Louis. With the same wit and
strength he says Tulsa could capture
a national political convention or any
other great meeting.
The Tulsans scarcely began to fight
until a member from I.ntn'si.-imi at.
I tacked the town of Tulsa stating
that Tulsans had come merely to
j sweep the convention and win and
I would not be able to make good their
j promises. From that time on Okla
i hoinans were on the floor a greater
time than the representatives of any
other six states men like A. C. Trum-
bo and J. Burr Gibbons started the (
fireworks and there was not a dull!
moment until Tulsa had won. I
With such enterprise Tulsa has j
been built into one of the most mir- '
ar.ulous cities in all the uniim and
with such enterprise it will continue'
to build. i
