VINITA I. T. AfKIL 30 1900.
We were under the impression
that the Cherokeea held a clear ti-
tle to their lands but it appears
that the Standard oil company
feels that it has a blanket mort-
gage or. the whole business.
The town of Pryor Creek is agi-
tated over the fining of a silvor
spoon by a denizen of that bait
wick a few days ago. The Ulippe?
thinks it must have been status'
and accidentally dropped there.
It maybe however that this s a
Bryan year and that silver spoons
and silver money will be plentiful.
Next to deciphering Tarns Bix-
by's signature the question of au-
thority between Colonels Marcum
and Owen is the hardest of Indian
Territory problems. If o&e of
these colonels don't break into
congress before long it won't be
any fault of theirs.
Grant once said of Charles Sum-
ner: "The reason Sumner don't
believe the bible is because he
didn't write it himself." Terhaps
the chief reason why Representa-
tive Curtis of Kansas seeks to de-
stroy the new Cherokee treaty is
because he didn't make it and it
does not bear the talismantic
name of Curtis. This is the most
charitable view that can be taken
of the action of the conceited little
Kansan. However there is an-
other and a more general view of
his action and that is that he may
be the employ of the Standard oil
company and ib simply "playing
the part of a paid attorney at the
bar looking after the' interests of
his clients. It is not improbable
that Curtis' amendment will even-
tually prove a boomerang and
swing back some time and knock
its author into oblivion.
CHEROKEE MINERAL LAW
All Leases Have Lapsed By
its Provisions.
The law relating to the granting
of mineral license in the Cherokee
nation passed December 6 1899
among other things provides
"That parties locating claims un-
der this act shall begin work there-
on within one year from the date
of their license otherwisi such
license shall be null and void;"
and further "That any person
company or corporation operat-
ing or working mines of minerals
or making salt or preparing medi-
cal or medicinal waters or refin-
ing coal oil or petroliuin or quarry
ing or shipping rock of any kind

Doors

From this it will be seen that
work must actually begin within
one year;' and then comes in a sec-

Patrons of Rotindlap din Plants Tell
of Their Big Profits.
The past Ki"tiK season again demon-
strated the incomparable superiority of
Hie American cotton company's roundlap
bale. Not only were farmers benefited
who hail their cotton put up in roundlap
bales but even the patrons of the old-
style ginti profited by the presence of
roundlap competition.
Farmers all over the cotton states have
written letters to the owners of the round-
lap plants telling of the profit that lias
come to them from having their cotton
nut up in roumll.it) bales. Mr. W. I
llaitly .Sr. who patronized the Green-
ville Ala. plant wrote Feb. 3 lyoo:
'!Thc most important point in the round-
lap bale's favor to the farmer is the ad-
vance in price ubove that of the sijuare
bale. It has averaged the entire season
$2.00 per bale more than the square bale.
More than $5000 has been placed in
circulation by the advanced price caused
hy this one press."
Mr. F. M. Rogers of Greenville Ala.
also wrote.: "I have received from
thret-eighths to one-half cent per pound
more than the market price here for
square bales. The roundlap tale is a
godsead to the farmers and has saved
them thousands of dollars in a few
months"1
Mr. J- D. Reily entreville Miss'.
wrote Deo; 4 1K99: "Another advantage
to the fanner is that romndlap cotton
brings such a good price that buyers of
square cotton have been forced to put
their prices-up. Thus all the fanners
are benefited in a town whew there is a
soundlap press."
Mr. V. B. Simoaton TemjJe. Texas.
2fov. 12 iS3 wite: "I have received
horn $1.50- to $3.50 more per
bile for my cotton than if I had
ginned and sold' iu the square bale.
Besides I know the prices the American.
cotton company has paid for seed cotton
have been the cause bf those buying the
square bale pacing from 10 to 50 points.
nioie for it ."
Mr. J. L. Wood of Venus Tex... Dec
2 JS99 wrote: "I sold to the American
Cotton Co. at its East Waco plant the
first bale of cottou that was ever ginned
hy the roundlap system in Waco and
have been selling my cotton in the seed
to you since that time. For the last
three years including 1899 i have sold
my cottou to your Venus plant. I can
safely say that I have made $2.00. per
' bale more by selling to you in the seed
than I would have made if I had giimed
it into square bales Besides saving a
great deal of annoyance with the street
buyers. In view of the fact that the
cuslpiu ginners awl those opposed to the
roundlap system say that you do mt let
the fanners have cotton seed I will say '
that I have always gotten cotton seed !
when I asked for it."
!Ir. P. B. Hall a merchant and planter j
of Waynesboro Ga. wrote Nov. i;.LS99 j
to Jlessers. Wilkins & Jones owners of i
the roundlap plant at that place: 'Ihad
one lot of 20 bales- trtrned out by you and
i without saying anything to anyborlj I
put the samples on the market. All of
the buyers in town hid upon the same
fliiiilrimr if cminra. Jya( cotton. One of
the buyers bid 5 .cents.another 5.S7 1-2
cents and another 5.9") cents the latter
remarking at tho same time that he was-
bidcong a full sixteenth more than the
lot of cotton was worth. Without know-
ing what bids I had received iu fact I
did not tell you that anybody had bid
m:rn it vou offered and paid me G.ao
for the lot of cotton which was a clear1
difference of 55 points in favor of the
roundlap bale. I i)t!ieve that the round-
lap bale is the bale of the future and it
effects a large-saving in waste- and en-
ables the planter to get a higher price
for his cottoni
Mr. Abrauu Williams Nov. 10 1S99
wrote Met srsWilkiiis & Jone-s: "Today I
had two rouadVtp lales of cotton packed
on your rouadlap bale presa for which
you paid m 7-34 cents per jound wiien
the same grle of cotton ia the square
bale here "twday is bringt neonly 7 tj 7 1-8
cents per pound."
Mr. J. S. Collins 1'ike Road. Ala.

my cotti $2.50 p r b jd more tluin I

I iM-lieve that the rouvvllnp pres is the

I litlieve that it has saved in our neighlior-
hool of eij;ht or ten miles square tyir
in the price of cotton and 10.000 pounds
