Are They Colonizing?
that there is no man who stands
higher as a man or citizen than
he. He is honorable, of keen in-
tellect, well educated and thor-
oughly conversant with the ueeds
of the people of this district.
He is a native of Illinois, where
ha lived until 'he reached his
majority, when he moved to Tex-
as, residing there until he came
to this county, at the opening,
staking a claim in the run a few
miles east of Cordell. He is a
democrat of the^ .Jacksonian
school and has the courage to
always stand by his convictions.
He has but lately decided to en-
ter the race, but will push his
candidacy with vigor to the end.
If chosen as a candidate he would
make an acceptable, fearless and
honest representative of the
people.
day. On account of |the heavy
rains of the day previous the
crowd was somewhat smaller than
would have been, likewise they
were prevented from construct-
ing their arbor and making other
provision. As it was, there was
a good crowd. They had prepar-
ed a good program by the school
and, in addition, Judge Brett
made them a talk on the line of
Sunday school work and S. C.
Burnette responded to an invi-
tation to address them on the
"duties of a delegate to the con-
stitutional convention." At noon
a sumtuous dinner was spread to
which all were bidden to partake.
Altogether it was a most pleasant
occasion.
Will Sow Wheat.
The copious rains of the past
week have put the ground in ex-
cellent condition for fall sowing.
The prospects are for the largest
wheat aeerage yet to be sown in
this county since the opening
The fine crop that was raised this
year will be exceeded the coming
year from present indications.
Wheat, when the conditions a e
favorable at seeding time, is a
pretty certain crop and, certainly
nothing could be better than con-
ditions are right now for seeding.
With the ground so thoroughly
soaked as it is at this time, wheat
would come up and get well along
before winter sets in though it
should rain no more until late.
Mother Jones Here.
"Mother" Jones, the celebrated
socialist speaker, addressed a
meeting at the court house last
Thursday night. Not many were
out to hear her, however. She
dwells chiefly upon the condition
of the laboring classes, that i9
miners [and factory hauds, and
eliminates the day or other labor-
er outside those classas. She laid
considerable stress upon the ar-
rest of Moyer and Haywood for
the murder of Gov. Stuenenburg,
and the conspirators who caused
the arrests. Mother is quite fluent
in speech and shows a wide
knowledge of conditions over the
eountry.
He Appreciates It-
Picnic at Dugford.
My Hair
Ran Away
It is being currently reported
that there is a plan organized and
being carried into effect to
colonize negroes in the negro
counties of the territory. How
:far the assertion may be made,
5n truth, we do not know. It
may be only political rumor, but
if the construction of the enab-
ling act with reference to the
folding of the election for con-
stitutional delegates is as an-
nounced by the district board,
there is every reason to believe
that it was the intention of the
framers of that act to permit the
colonizing business for that elec-
tion. For instance, Filson an- The good people of Dugford,
nounced that it was not necessary under the lead of their Sunday
to register voters in the cities in school, held a picnic and cele-
order to vote. Upon the fate of bration at that place last Satur-
it that would imply a lax check |
ton illegal voting. Again, the
same authority says that only six
months residence is required in
the territory; th'at he can vote
anywhere, witEout reference to
the election law requiring resi-
dence in the county and precinct.
If this be the intention of the
law, then it will permit the send-
ing of voters from the district
with big majorities to the close
ones where, by acquiring a tern-
ary residence, they will be able to
control the election. By the im-
poration of negroes from the
south to these counties where
aegroes are numerous, now, it
iwill be possible to increase the j
republican vote at the general
•lettion and, perhaps, elect the
ptate ticket.

jMCfesion demanded this action on

Dear Sir: Enclosed find check
for $4.00, which pays my sub-
scription up to now. I will have
to stop my paper for the present,
as I will move soon. The paper
is worth twice what it was when
I commenced to take it.
Thanking you for your kind
forbearance and hoping the
party of Jefferson and Bryan
will win out in the new state,
will close.

Don't have a falling out with
your hair. It might leave you!
Then what? That would mean
thin, scraggly, uneven, rough
hilr. Keep your hair at home!
Fasten it tightly to your scalp!
You can easily do it with Ayer's
Hair Vigor. It is something
more than a simple hair dress-
ing. It ia a hair medicine, a
hair tonic, a hair food.
