VIII Live Again.

The Twin City business Mems asso-
citation, whose death the REPORTER
chronicled last week, il would seem
from present indications, Phenix-Iike,
will rise again with greater strength of
numbers interest and enthusiasm than
ever characterized the old organization.
Messrs. A. NJ. Muir and Frank P. DAILY,
who are taking an active part in the
movement toward regeneration, have
met with great encouragement in secur-
ing many names on the revived list,
not only of old members but many new
ones. They started out to get forty
members, have already secured thirty
six and say that the probabilities point
to a membership seventy-fve strong.
A mass meeting Of all business men of
the twin cities, regardless of whether
they have signed or not, will be called
during the fore part of April, when
matters of importance will be sub
mitted and the organization thoroughly
enthused with new life. It's good
thing let 'er grow

New County of Rivers.

The people of Marshfeld want a new
county and yet they want to elect one
of their citizens county judge. In case
the new county was created and Judge
Pors was reelected Judge how would 1t
leave the territory south Of the town of
Auburndale in this county? Voter
when you cast Your ballot consider this
matter. Mr.. Pors, personally is all
right and may be opposed to the new
county scheme, we presume he is, or at
least he ought to be for he favors the
interests Of the people, but his election
would leave US in queer predicament,
especially if the new county of Rivers
was created.

Telephone Bill.

The telephone bill in which our local
exchange was interested, was defeated
in the senate Tuesday by vote of 20 to
8. We are not surprised in the defeat
of the bill, but we are in the action of
our adopted Senator Pierce who now
represents this district. Perhaps this
method is the right way TO strengthen
himself in his new adopted county in
his district, particularly if he desires to
return to the senate A day of reckon
ing is coming when his action in this
matter will be remembered.

FOR EREE coTToN SEED.

In last Thursdays ARDMoRE-
ITE there appeared an article
under the caption Free Cotton
Seed" In this attention was
called to what seemed to be a
public calamity-the loss by
stoem and flood of the growing
cotton crop. Ii was there said
that much of the crop would
have to be planted over; and it
was further suggested that as
many of our farmers were una
bic TO procure seed for the sec
ond planting, it would be 4
good idea to take up and carry
out the plan proposed by Mr..
Sig Simon that a popular sub
scription be taken up and a car
of seed purchased for gratui-
tous distribution among the
destitute farmers. Mr.. Simon
started the list with -. Since
that time but little interest
seems to have been manifested.
Yesterday, however, the en-
terprising firm of Blanton, Ray
* Co., the ginners. informed
us that they were ready to do
Late - OH this proposition.
We fully believe that by even
n partial canvass of the city the
amount necessary to secure the
required amount Of seed could
be easily obtained.
Let some public-spirited. lib
eral hearted man step To the
front and take the matter in
hand at once. Such as he the
farmers of the Chickasaw ma
tiou will rise up and call
blessed.

SHOULD BE ADOPTED.

The communication in Fri
days ARDMoREITE, overthe sig
nature of Mr.. S. II. Bledsoe, is
one of the clearest, most forci-
bic documents that has appeared
in the columns of the territory
press since the Atoka treaty
was consummated. Mr.. Bled-
soc is not only Il brilliant lawyer
of recognized ability, but is one
OF the men who has contributed,
even more than his share, to
the upbuilding of this city and
country. In business circles he
is known as a successful, con-
servative man, and under any
and allcircumstances hisopinion
and conclusions have justified
the high regard entertained for
him by his many friends.
Mr.. Bledsoe in this commune
cation presents an entirely new,
but an absolutely just and
equitable method of arriving at
the solution Of the townsite
question and his proposition
after being submitted and un-
derstood can not be objected to
as unfair by any one who asks
that justice be done. BY his
plan the parties entitled to share
III the enhanced values here do
so according to the amount con-
tributed by them to that en-
hancement. All parties get
what rightfully belongs to them,
and to such an adjustment of
| interests surely no one can Oh
ject. We believe the plan pro-
| posed by him should be made
generally known throughout the
| Chickasaw and Choctaw nations
and that an organized concert
ed effort should he made to
properly present the matter. not
only to congress. but the inter-
ior department, the recommen-
dation Of which would practi-
callv secure its adoption.

TERRITORY COMMISSIONER.

Among those in 4 position to
know, the belief Is general that
had : proper effort been made.
Mr.. Bliss would have favora-
bly, considered the appointment
of a territory man ON the Dawes
commission. This commission
is to be reorganiZed. one new
commissioner having been nam
ed. At least three more repub-
licans Will be appointed before
September, and this being the
case. would it not be we'll for
the press of the territory and
the members Of the republican
party to urge the appointment
of territory man for the posi-
ton. Certainly a man can be
found equally Us familiar with
the conditions here as will be a
man from New York, Oregon
or Florida, and certainly there
can be no injustice in having
one Of the 100000 to be affected
by the treaties made a member
Of that treaty-making commits
sion. Select proper person.
begin an active campaign, and
the chances are that there is
yet time to get a man on the
commission who Will not require
three years schooling to be-
come familiar with what is.
and what should be. \ repub-
lican endorsed by the organ
lzation of that party in the ter
ritory and supported by the
press, would probably be given
the place, and this would be
preferable to having a new
man of that political faith
from Maine, Dakota or Rhode
Island.

OUR ANNIVER SARY.

On July ), 1894, at a largely
attended meeting of the citizens
of Ardmore the Ardmore Ami
vArsary Association was organ
lied with the following named
gentlemen as permanent Off
GERS: President, W. F. Whit
tington; vice president. NJ. Mum
zesheimer; treasurer, j. b.
Spragins; secretary, Clarence
B. Douglas. On the 2Sth day
of the same month the seventh
anniversary of the city was
celebrated at Wilmington park,
and more than 10000 visitors
enjoyed the hospitality Of the
Prairie Queen. This organiza-
ton was intended to be perlna-
nent, the officials to hold office
for one year and until their
successors are elected. The
celebrations in 1898 and 1896
were conspicuous successes, the
former being under the auspices
of the band boys and the latter
being in charge of the fire de
partment. The ARDMOREITE
suggests a public meeting of the
citizens interested in celebrating
the tenth anniversary and the
election of officers as the sue
cessors of the present incum-
bents. that the matter may be
conducted to a successful climax
by an organized effort.
