SAPULPA 10 DEN|S||N
Frisco Is Ready to Build a
New Extension.
KANSAS MIDLAND In LINE
As a Link in the Through
WiChita-GuIf Route.

Sapulpa, L T. Feb. S.-The Frisco has
Completed arrangements for the construc-
ton of a new line of its road from Sapul-
pa through the Cbickasaw country to
Dennison, Texas The line Is of immense
Importance TO this city as we'll as to
Wichita, as II viii materially hasten the
construction of the proposed southern ex-
tension of the Kansas Midland and give
this section an outlet to the gulf and
south, The Kansas Midland Is operated
practically by the Frisco and It can ut1l-
ize this new line for its southern end.
The contract for all the grade work has
been let to Johnson Bros & Taught of st.
Elmo, H.. who viii subet the different
contracts The full length CT the line will
be go miles and it runs through the rich
est part of the territory The line will
be built with the best of material
throughout, the specifications calling for
ballasted track and IS pound rails It is
understood that the funds for the con-
struction Of the line are being advanced
by the st. Louis Trust company, the
Union Trust company and the Mercantile
Trust company.
Governor Porter of the Creek Nation
Nation, have given much attention to the
promotion OF the line and have aided
mucn in bringing about the final deter
ninaion to construct the road
All the grading contracts will be let at
once to responsible bidders, who will be
required no build the road in FIVE mile
stretches. The bridge and treste work
has been given on a sub-contract to Nc
Cabe & Steele Of Kansas City.
The value of the line can hardly be
estimated, so far as the country tributary
to Sa9ulDa IS concerned. The construc-
ton of an Independent line to the Gulf
means much to this city and its territory
and now that this new line will be con-
structed it looks as If it would certainly
hasten the construction Of the extension
of the Kansas Midland to Denison. al II
removes 200 or more miles Of the distance
which would have had to be constructed.
The line. as projected. passes through

HE ADVISES NEGROES no LET
POLITICS ALONE.
Editor Vfrefnfan-Pilot.

Prof. John j. Smallwood, the inde-
pendent negro educator, founder and
president of the Temperance, Indus
trial and Collegiate Institute. at Clare
mont, Va, and who Is beyond all doubt
one OF the most logical negro orators
upon this Continent. came to Norfolk
to-day via Washington steamer, being
on his way home from the North with
his WIFE. to whom he was married on
Thursday, September Goth.
Prof. Smallwood was asked about
the political conditions of New York.
New Jersey and Maryland, and said:
II fear very much that we shall not
be able to carry either of the States
you name. President Mckinley will
have a hard pull to get these States
In line; we shall need them to elect
the President"
When asked about the negro in poll
tics. he said: 81 am convinced that
the best thing for the negro to do is
to let politics alone, buy land. build
up small but substantial homes and
farms. educate the younger negro,
give him and her trade. and teach
the race Race pride. common-sense,
self-reliance and self-respect. and a
true American manhood. The pnlltf-
cal parties can not solve the Race
problem; the intelligent, manly. re-
spectacle negro must solve his own
race problem. am convinced, also.
that as the best class of white do not
cry out against the negro at the South.
so is it true that the best class of
negroes do not violate the moral law
at the South, nor commit mama BILE
crimes against white or black women
THE negro at the South must be
educated; he must become an intelli-
gent citizen and an independent voter,
and land owner
President Smallwood is an independ-
ent negro in politics. polished and Gull
tured in his manners. very. polite, a
plain, but q very costly, dresser. even
to the extent of actual attractiveness
Prof. Smallwood is a self made negro
man; he never had the cooperation of
his own race. He founded the Tenn
perance, Industrial and Collegiate In
stitute. October 18th. 1892, for the ed
ucation of the negro. youth at Clare
