NEGROES ARE wRArny.
over the Action of Preacher at
PauIs Valley.

Special to the Ardmoreite.
Pauls Valley, Sept. S.-At this
place Friday night a negro preach
er named Mccoy is alleged to have
committed criminal assault on a
IL year-o!d negro girl.
He was pastor of the negro
Baptist church at this place, snd
after committing the crime went
to the church and delivered a
lecture to a good sized audience
on the care that should be exercis-
ed by parents as to the company
kept by their boys and girls.
After the lecture he disappeared
and the closest search by a posse
of angry negroes and the officials
has thus far failed to locate him.

Wanted Damages.

A life insurance agent here yes
terday had blood in his eye and
wanted some money compensation
for his injuries.
The cause of his distemper was
the damage done to one of his
shirts by the Ardmore Steam
Laundry
He consulted an attorney and
was told that a fee of $25 and a
Sc. so cost deposit would be re-
quired to commence the suit.
He left, ostensibly to get tthe
money, but the suit has not yet
been filed. He probably never
thoughtlof asking the laundry man
agement to make good the damage
done to his wearing apparel.

In Bad Condition.

There is great complaint AID justly 20
OF the condition of the streets and high
ways in certain portions OF tho city.
Weeds have never been so prolific as
this year and that have simply taken
possession of the sidewalks on certain
streets.
A weed which has given much trouble
profuseIy in all sections OF the city. 1t
has very thick stem and is hard to get
rid Of. There is no reason why the
street and alley committee should not
rid the streets OF the weeds in places
where there are no residences. II they
take seed the present year it will be hard
to exterminate them next year. Not
only are the weeds a menace to health,
but they are unsightly and give the city q
very ragged appearance. They can cas-
lily be cut down and afterwards burned.
AS gentleman said on Main street to-
day, "give him Ave men for week and
he will guarantee to make the city ap-
pear vastly different from what it does
at the present time"
The celebration of Peach Day is rap
idly approaching and the city should
take some steps to attend to this matter,
Property owners should be notified to
clear their premises and tho city should
care for its streets and alleys.
II the condition of the city is criter-
ion to judge the policy of lodging all
authority for street work in the hands OF
the committee on streets and alleys, they
should rid themselves Of a portion of the
burden, with which the council has
loaded them
