At Ardmore notices have been
posted ordering all negroes to

The Times is very wrong, as
nothing of this nature has ever

that purpose.

JUDGE TOWNSEND SPEAKS
On Incorporation and It's Be1efIts-Ard-
more Advanced 500 per Cent.

Territory town, South McAlester,
is hating between incorporation
and incubation of disease it is
nothing more than right that we
who have tasted of the good
things to come" shauld speak out
boldly for the benefit of those who
do not know how conducive incor-
poration is to happiness and health.
In speaking yesterday evening
of the incorporation of Ardmore
Judge Townsend remarked that
not 10 per cent of our people are
opposed to incorporation and that
when public benefits wrought by
incorporation become more appar-
ent the favorable opinion of incor-
poration will become more nearly
universal. "
1t seems" he continued, that
the people have chosen very in
telligent set of men as their city
council, men who have the good
of the city at heart; and in the way
of street commissioner you GER
tainly have made Il wise choice.
He has gone at his work in a sys-
tematic way and there is no COM
parison in the present condition
Of streets now and with that of a
few months ago. | consider that
this town has been improved 800
per cent, and that the good that
has come and that is yet to be de-
rived from your city government is
incalculable. Main street, which
one year ago was a succession of
mudholes, is now becoming a cred
, liable street to a city of this size.
South McAlester is now suffer
ing the same Inconvenience and
nuisanceS that this town formerly
| had to undergo. Boxes and ma
: chlnery on the sidewalks, hogs al
: the doors, and, on the principal
3 streets wagons mire almost to the
hub. South McAlester Outstrips
2 this town in only one thing and that
= is she has an all night electric
: light service"
In answer to the question of the
greatest benefit to be derived from
municipal government, the judge
answered unqualifiedly for santa
ton. Hogs have been taken from
the hotel doors and the mud holes
have been drained of their filthy,
disease giving water and filled
with fresh dirt.
Another very great benefit, .
fhe continued, is that of free
school system. Other towns in tn,
Territory already have a system o.
good schools and there is nothing
: that stands in the way of the school!
e in this town.
e However, not the least benefi
to be derived is the lesson in sci
government. Within the cours,
E OF short time this people will b,
q called upon to administer the af
: fairs of territorial or state gov
! ernment and the fact that this towr
rolled 400 votes is an eviderc,
of the keen appreciation with which
we shal accept the responsibility
= of manaa ing our own affairs"

"Again-shortly after the late IN

evening was bleak and cold, and I
hurried to escape the chilling blast,
when / was stopped by a voice, plain
tive in its speech-Mastec. please the
black man said, as he exterdai his
hand for aims. He sad he was a
painter by trade, and led me to a near

stained clothes in confederation. He
said he would rather work han beg,

for that reason I a N not permitted to

l think he was honest, that it had been
three days since he had a meal. 1 re-
marked to him that l was from the
south, from North Carclira where it
is allegea we kill negroes for muse
ment; burn their houses, destroy their
property, and asked him if he was not
afraid to ask aims of a southern man.
"No, MASTER he replied, my ex-
perience has taught me, if it has
taught me anything worth knowing
that the southern man is the negro's
truest friend, and the south is the ne
gro's best home"
