RENFRO BARN BURNS
The Renfro Livery Barn, locat-
ed on North Broadway, caught
fire Sunday evening about 7:30
and burned to the ground in less
than an hour. The building,
feed stuff, harness and two bug-
gies were destroyed. A large
crowd gathered about the barn
and tried to do something to
check the flames but the fire had
too much of a start. Mr. Renfro
carried only $1,018. insurance on
the building and contents.
DIED—The 10 months old baby
boy of Mr. and Mrs. A R Jackson
died of Dyphtberia at tbeir home
in north Carter Saturday at 6 p.
m. Both doctors were called, and
all that loving hands could do
was done to save the little one’s
life, but to no avail. The remains
were laid to rest in the Carter
cemetery Sunday afternoon. The
many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Jackson extend their sympathies
to them in this their hours of af-
fliction and trouble.
Andrew McClung, who return
ed to Carter 5 weeks ago, is em-
ployed at Mr. Ira Cain’s. Andrew

It was in the year of 1914,
On January the twenty-seventh,
As I lay on my bed one night,
I beheld a vision bright.
And in the vision I did see,
A warnig that was meant forme,
It was a cloud of oblong shape,
It was so blight I thought 1 was
awake.
A clap of thunder so sharp and
shrill.
Came from the cloud with a heav-
enly'thrill,
I turned to look and baby said,
The sun hurts my eyes it is red.
On the cloud there was a cross,
On the cross in scarlet letters read
One hundred years until,
Resurrection day it said.
Around the cross were stars so
bright,
Oh how they crowned that glori-
ous night.
And when the clouds had pass-
ed away.
It was not yet the break of day.
And when I turned to walk
away a paper fell in my way,
Upon the paper was a cross,
And on the cross in words did menUoning the various bus-
say, ! iness institutions of Carter last
100 years until resurrection day. | week we unintentionally left out

Mrs. W R Oliver is much im-
proved from her recent spell of
sickness.
Mrs. J A High has our thanks
for a nice fat chicken delivered to
the editor’s home Friday.
Bob Campbell, charged with
conspiracy growing out of t h e
Payne murder case, has been re-
leased on bail.
J H Waggoner of Elk Creek
sold several loads of volunteer
wheat at Carter lately for 93
cents per bushel.
While trading at Carter Satur-
day Mr. Robt. Schlotz paid in his
5th silver dollar on subscription
to the Carter Express.
Mrs. B H Schooler has our
thanks for a nice mess of “gar-
den sass" delivered at our home

son ef Chickasha, came up Satur-
day for a few days visit with his
brother Sam.
Carl Allsup of Willow was a
Carter shopper Saturday. Mr.
Allsup’s boy is down with Ty-
phoid fever.
100 ENVELOPES-Mr. Farm-
er, with your return, name, and
name of your farm, printed there-
on for only 75 cents. Hand in
your order.
J D Carter has out 6 bales of
cotton and will make 6 more
bales. Mr. Carter has 100 acres
of as fine wheat as a crow ever
flew over.
Farmers, merchants and even
bankers have joined the Socialist
party, but for a newspaper man
to do such a thing, with some, is
the unpardonable sin.
Grandma Husted is one of our
faithful Sunday school workers.
Regardless of her extreme age
she climbs the stairway to t h e
Masonic hall and is among the
first on hand Sunday mornings.
W A Britton of Elk Creek
brought in another bale of cotton
Saturday. Mr. Britton has out
20 bales and will make about 5
bales more, and is hoping for a
better price for his cotton.
J C Skaggs, one of our pros-
perous farmers, hands in $2. on
subscription and has the paper
sent one year to J C Pasley, Ar-
nett, Mo. The subscriptions are
piling in which makes advertise-
ments used by our merchants
more valuable to them.
1135 VOTES FOR NICLEMORE
DR. G, E. ROLAND,
DENTIST
ELK. CITY, OKLY
H V Joseph, present represen-
tative in the State Legislature is
awful sore over being defeated
by T H McLefnore, Socialist. He
is so sore he has been interview-
ed by the Sayre Standard, and
proceeds to vent his spleen by cal-
ling Socialism “Freeloveism, Ath-
eism and Anarchyism”. Hold,
Mr. Joseph, remember there were
1135 men who voted for McLe-
more in preference to you. Do
you mean to tell us that 1135
Beckham county citizens believe
in free love? The fact of t h e
business is, Mr. Joseph, the good
people of Beckham county have
ceased to believe that rot about
Socialism being “Freelove, Anar-
chy, and Infidelity”. They have
decided to vote for a man who
can do something for them and
not a man who acknowledges he
has done nothing as you have.
That old “Freelove” racket is not
going to keep the people out of
the Socialist party any longer.
Hon. Robt. L Owens told us, in a
speech at,Carter, that every time
a farmer made $2,500 the specu-
lators get all but about one-fifth
—in other words the farmer gets
only one-fiftb of what he produc-
es while the speculators g e t
FOUR-FIFTHS. The farmers
are learning that Socialism will
stop this graft, that is why they
are votijig for Socialism, Mr. Jo-
seph. Socialism is coming, sure
and steadfast, Mr. Joseph, so you
might as well fall in line and help
the ‘other farmers vote Socialism
into power.

ALLEN L. BENSON SAYS
“A year or more, before the
war German papers, both daily
and weekly, teemed with stories
of how meafl the French govern-
ment was treating German sol-
diers who had enlisted in t b e
French army. One story after
another was paraded before the
common people ot Germany until
the whole country, including the
Socialists, were ready for war.
They were made to believe that
other nations about them, also,
were ready to pounce upon them
and destroy the German govern-
ment. The circulation of these
stories from week to week caus-
ed the whole of Germany to get
on the war path.”

I cannot understand why we
did not elect our entire county
ticket. State Secretary Sinclair’s
report shows the Beckham coun-
ty vote for governor as follows:
Dem., 964; Rep., 719; Soc., 1,125.
From this we must have elect-
