IN response 10 the cali for .
meeting of the citizens in South
Ardmore to consider the educa-
tional, moral and material pro
gress of the people in that local
ity, large crowd assembled at
the Ferndale school house,. The
meeting was called to order by
Prof. Joe M. London who, in a
brief but forcible manner, set forth
the object of the meeting. A
lively discussion of the imperative
needs of the people was entered
upon. The Hons. II. M. Furman
and Fl. G. Potterf addressed the
meeting adding much vim and in
terest to the accession. The fact
that school which should be Sec
ond to none should be established
and encouraged in South Ardmore
was definitely settled and the peo-
pie showed their zeal in the mat
ter by donating literally towards
that end. A subscription was
started to secure comfortable seats
and otherwise refit the interior of
the building and the sum of $40
was raised before the meeting
closed. This insures the success
of Ferndale school and enjoins a
worthy compliment upon the peo-
pie in the south end of town.

On next Wednesday the Chicka-

the date for the election ap-
proaches some smothered whisper
ings can be heard. And the can
didates have their aides at work
covering the whole country but
they get at their business in the
manner natural to the Indian,
quiet and with seeming indiffer
ence, saying but little. These
elections are changed greatly from
what they were in former years,
and are marked only by an entire
absence of interest.

AS 10 RENTING LAND.

itor ARDMoREITE: The non-citi-
zen residents of this community
are in quandary about rent
ing farms for 1899. Some In
dians will rent, some will not.
Most farmers are hanging back.
We are in the habit of renting
by this time for another year,
and would this year, only we
fear the law. Is there a pro
vision in the Curtis bill for this
matter? If not. can't we Gall
citizens of the Indian Territory
petition the secretary of the in
terror to allow the land to be
rented for another yearl If we
have to wait till congress pro
yides for us it wi be so late
that scores of our best citizens
will be forced to go to the
states.
Air this in the columns of
the ARDMoREITE. Get the views
of the scribes from the country
towns around. and see what
could be done. Such news is
eagerly watched for by your
farmer friends. Yours truly,
RICHARD M. Brown.
P.S. We have had fine rains,
and crops are good enough for
the Joneses. b.
The above letter touches on
a very important question. II
the farmers are not allowed to
rent or cultivate lands without
subjecting themselves to the
fine and Imprisonment penalty
imposed by the Curtis bill i'll
section 18, thousands of them
will have to remove from the
Territory. The citizen can only
retain and rent just so much
land as he and his family will
be entitled to under the allot
ment, which is estimated to be
somewhere about 500 acres for
each citizen. The balance of
the land must be turned out, if
the strict letter of the law in
sections 16 and II is literally
enforced. If this is done, what
will renters do? As a rule they
are poor, and they must have
lands to cultivate.
There is a clause. however.
in section 16 which the ARD
MOREITE construes to mean
that renters can occupy lands
and pay the rents into the
United States 6easury. under
such rules and regulations as
may be prescribed by the secre-
tary of the interior. to the cred
it of the tribe to which such
rents belong. If this is hon
estly done by renters me do not
believe they will have any
trouble; but if tn ~ Try to
evade the law they will surely
suffer. for each and every In
dian is directly interested in
the strict enforcement of the
law, and of course will see that
renters pay the rent or report
them to the proper auth orities.
All this rent which is paid into
the United States treasury be-
comes the common fund of the
tribe of Indians where the land
rented is located, and is paid
to the Indians.
The ARDMOREITE's advice to
renters, after talking with sew
eral of our most prominent
lawyers about the matter, is to
remain on the land, and post it
so citizens hunting for allot-
ments will know it is not taken.
Wo believe this will fulfill the
spirit of the law. The law is
made severe for the sole pur-
pose of making those large
landholders turn loose the
lands they have inclosed, so
Indians who have no lands can
select allotments. 1t is not the
purpose of the law to injure or
punish the innocent. If the
renter will deal fairly with the

SPECIAL REvENUR srAMPS.

In the event the special revenue
stamps do not arrive prior to July
LIST, for the benefit of the business
public l desire to state that it is
my opinion that the ordinary 2
cent stamp may be used on bank
checks for the present and until
the prescribed stamps are received
l would suggest that each stamp
be marked l R, indicating that it
is for internal revenue purposes,
together with the initials of the
drawer and the date the check is
drawn. l have consulted with both
banks, and section 16 of the war
revenue bill justifies me in this
conclusion. Though this method
is irregular, / am sure it will show
an intent to not defraud the gov
ernment, but should be immedi-
ately discontinued upon receipt of
the prescribed form of stamp.

A Letter From Camp Morgan

Harvey Youngblood has receiv-

Harve, Jr., who, with his COM
pany, has been again moved from
the Texas frontier to Fort Nor
gan, Ala. Speaking of the trip.
he says:
We arrived o. K, after eighty
hours hard travel. We are on a
point of land between Mobile Bay
and the gulf and are encamped on
the beach where sand is shoe
mouth deep and the mosquitoes as
large as jaybirds.
We are now engaged fixing up
our barracks, after which we will
be quite comfortable. We have
to put floors in our tents owing to
the very deep sand.
There is a company of artillery
here, and they have some splendid
guns.
A large force is busy on the
fort here. The bay is full of tor
pedoes, and no vessel is allowed to
enter or depart between sunset
and sunrise.
All the boys are in excellent
health, and send love to all al
home -
