Destructive Fire.

A destructive fire visited South

The Attempt e. Establish . Daily OF
Pnreen a Failure what the
R-aistsr says.

The following brief local is
clipped from the Purcell Regis
ter. lis unnecessary to say that
the enterprise never had n
chance Of succeeding. but il
illustrates n friendly" feeling
toward Ardmore. Further com
ment is unnecessary. The ar
tiele is as follows:
Mr.. +. l.. Wilson of Ardmore
was here last Saturday attempt
ing to interest our business
men in a pan to buy the
ARDMoREITE, move the plant
TO this place and establish a
daily paper. AS the most of
the men we have heard say
anything Of the matter failed TO
see any reason why they should
put up fifty dollars each to set
Mr.. Wilson up in business, II
would seem that the enterprise
did not meet with a large
amount Of encouragement.
In addition to this the Regis
ter says editorially:
The Register will start a daily
when the town is able TO sup
port one without the business
mel teing called on to put up
fifty dollars each to maintain
such an institution.
For the information of the
people of Purcell we rise to
remark that the ARDNoREITE
has not missed an issue except
Christmas day" that it is still
at the old stand, that it is thor
oughly identified with Ard.
mOre's past, present and future
and that no move will be made
in the location Of the plant.

THE GREATEST INJUSTICE


THAT THE UNITED STATES
SHALL PUT EACH ALLoTTEE IN
POSSESSION OF HIS ALLOTMENT
AND REMOVE ALL INTRUDERs
THEREFROM. :"
The quotation above, taken
from the treaty between the
Dawes commission and the
Choctaw delegates shows just
what the leaseholders and farm
ers may expect when this treaty
is ratified. What this means TO
our agricultural interests will
be readily understood and the
loss they will sustain will be
only too keenly appreciated by
the non-citizen farmers of the
Chickasaw Nation. The ARD
MoREITE, since its first issue,
has ever been u friend to the
imam with a hoe" well know
ing that his interests were
identical with the interests OF
all other classes, and while
there is much to consider in
other portions of the treaty,
this single clause entails a
greater loss, not only on the
farmer, but on the tOwnsman,
than any other of this remark
able document, and as a friend
to the agricultural element, We
enter our protest against such 6
provision.
By these few lines the rights
acquired by solemn contrac'
and constituting all on eartl
the farmer possesses are wiped
from the face of the earth. The
improvements he has made IL
payment for the unexpireC
time of his lease are confiscated
The home of his children il
taken away from him withou
his consent in violation of his
contract with the native citizen
he is thrown out upon the
world without resources, the
value of his leasehold, the only
assets he possesses is rendered
useless and worthless by thes,
few words.
When we consider that thii
will affect more than 1900
families the magnitude of tn,
subject can be understood anC
the day when these people ar,
rendered homeless and are cas-
out wanderers on the world
will be the blackest epoch il
all the history of the red man.
land. In striking down tn
farmers all classes of our peopl
are injured to a greater or les
extent and we would be re
creant to our duty did we fai
to enter a vigorous protes
against such injustice.
