from. no other person from this part of
Barber county is interested in or around
Guthrie.
Capt. Garrison and others, from near
Sharon, went in from the north, and it
presumed they got claims north of Lis
bon. Nothing had been seen of the
Coicord and Hogard crowd, though it is
believed they went south of Lisbon,
toward Fort Reno. The McAdoo out
fit was not seen around Lisbon by any
of our informants.
Those who have returned say that the
western part of Oklahoma is no better
land than Barber county that it is very
much such soil. Around Lisbon is
about such soil as is around Kiowa.
South of there, to Reno, is a smooth,
level country, the soil getting darker as
one goes south, Reno is on magnifi-
cent site, and our people think it will
be formidable competitor for the cap
ltal, when the whole Territory is opened.
Lisbon is well located. at the conf1u-
ence of two streams-Kingfisher and
Uncle Johns creek. The latter is soft,
good water; Kingfsher is brackisn.
The streams were each furnishing
good supply of water last week. The
rains that visited here two weeks ago
did not extend to Oklahoma. Lisbon
is on rolling land, well suited for a
town-site.

Gov. lee and The Race question.

Ia reference to the published interview
with Gov. Leo on the negro question and
the comments made By the Northern press
upon it, the Governor says:
"Some of the Northern people do not fully
understand nor appreciate the full scope of
this question so far as it concerns the South.
We are friendly to tha colored maa bat So
cial equality among the white and black is
out OF the question. No Intelligent white
man Of reputation at the South Will for q
moment think OF such 8 thing. see that 10
the comments of one of the leading New
York papers it is assumed that the Southern
negroes 90 not dssre Or contemplate such q
condition Of affairs. Why, Langston. the
defeated colored republican candidate for
Congress in tho Petersburg district, in his
recent speeches in South Carolina, WAS quite
pronounced Oh this subject. The counting
of the negro vote in States and cities where
that race is in the msj simply means a
a domination of such State or community by
the negroes. Suppose tae negroes carried
two or three Of the Southern States, what
would be the result? lfsuch domination
were to be maintained it would force all the
white people to sell their property Tor what
they could get for il and seek homes eae-
where. Such an unfortunate condition OF
things could not possibly benefit the balance
of the union. Ii would practically destroy
the States in which the negroes were in the
ascendency without beneitiug the5 race or
anybody else. No, sir; there is 30 way to
meet this grave question, bat blythe local gov.
ernments themselves. do not believe that
Harrison th inks that any federal legislation
can meet this emergency. Ii he does, he
will soon find out his mistake. Harrison is
a strict partisan, but / do not believe that he
has any idea that he can force upon the
South auy legislation that would not DO

Clayton murder in Arkansas. Why should
the bitter partisan papers of the North hold

there is not the slightest foundation for such
a charge. In the first place, no one seems
to know anything about the murder OF Clay

enemy of Clayton's murdered him seems
pro bable. Democrats have been murdered /

The Terminals Charter.

Ia Richmond on Saturday Attorney Gen
eral Ayers heard argument on the petition
recently presented to declare the charter of
the West Point Terminal Company forfeited
on account Gifts having purchased certain
lines of railway not authorized by the terms
OF it's charter, aud therefore unconstitutional.
The point at issue is whether or not Attor-
ney General Ayers should institute proceed
ng5 in the nature of quo warranto to en-
Ouire whether the road had the right 10 &C
quire, by purchase or otherwise, the control
OF the various lines which constitute the
great trunk lire known as the Terminal
system" Mr. Samuel n. Dickinson
ernor Hoadly, Colonel W. w. Gordon and
Judge Waller r Staples appeared for the
Terminal The petitioners, who are be-
icved to be the Norfolk and Western and
others whose interests conflict with those OF
the Terminal, ask that the charter be an
nulleh on the ground that it is unconstitu
tioua and contrary TO public policy. The
Terminal counsel in their reply insisted thai
every a,ep taken by the company and every
dollars worth of stock acquired by it was
10 strict conformity with acts and amenda
tory acts OF the Virginia Legislature.
After hearing of three hours Attorney
General Ayers took the papers in the case
for consideration. A decision will not be
had for perhaps two weeks.
The real question to decide ia whether
the facts brought to his attention are sutl
cient to warrant him in initiating legal pro
ceedings and his decision in no wise affects
The merits of the case. If he declines to
take the steps which he il asked to, then
the complainant7, who "a yet are without
name, so far as the record goes, can give
bond 10 indemnify the State against any
loss or expense, present their grievance to
the Attorney General, and formally petit
ton him to file in court the petition that
has been presented to him. II he still thinks
he is not obliged to proceed the parties feel
ing themselves aggrieved can sue in their
own name and for their benefit and protec-
ton.
