the results in loss of appetite, poisons in
the blood, backache, nervousness, head
ache and tired, listless, run down feeling.

and dont's care whether he lives or dies.

never to think evil. At least we ought
if we must judge, judge the man him
self.
Finally, l desire to say this: I hold
that men ought to henceforth be free
to vote according to the merits of meas
ures proposed and candidates nominated,
without regard to the race issue. / shall
certainly do so, and shall respect every
man who is honest in his convictions, no
matter which party he is allied with.
understood that all of us were going to
do this after the ratification of the amend
ment. l hold that if the Democratic par
ty revives the race issue, its pledge is
broken, and thereupon che will have the
right, whether he were in the primaries
or not, to refuse to be party to a policy
that will injure the Commonwealth and
the nation.
You remember that you invited all
men who favored the amendment to go
to the last primaries / went for the
amendments sake; l worked for the
amendment l shared the common pleas
ure in it's ratification. And I did so be-
cause I believed that it's passage would
effectively dispose of the race issue, and
lay aside the bitterness that is poisoning
the life of the State. If it does not,
our hopes are vain, our long suffering is
of no effect, our labors are futile-and
we are of all men most miserable. But
l prefer to believe that this is not so,
and l will determine my course accord
ngly. In this faith l have the assurance
of Mr.. Chairman Simmons, Col. Waddell,
Judge Connor, the pledge of Mr.. Aycock,
the fellowship of numbers of North Car
DINA editors, and the personal approval
of many citizens, including farmers, mer-
chants, preachers and college presidents.
I'll. new day is breaking. and nothing
shall stay the spreading Of its light.
Sincerely,
J. w. BAILEY.

Thomas lmpOrtantRuIings in
Townsite Litigation,

The petition Of N. B. Moore and
the Creek nation against the Mus
kogee townsite commission, whsre.
in the Creek nation asked for
restraining order to prevent the
townsite commission from selling
any lots within the corporate linn
its Of Muskogee, has been granted
by Judge Thomas. In passing on
the case Judge Thomas held that
N. B. Moore, a citizen Of the Creek
nation, had taken possession of
the lot IN question and had made
valuable improvements on it ae-
cording TO the laws and customs
OF the Creek nation; that he had
an Unbeatable property right in
his improvements and that he had
occupied the lot by the consent Of
the Creek nation and his right and
possession could not be dis.
turbed unless by an agreement
entered into by the nation. The
nation itself was made a party un-
der section two Of the Curtis act ,
and he held, az to it, that it owns
ed the property in fee simple and
that no part Of II eon.d be sold
without It's consent; that the whole
involves the doctrine CT vested
rights which could not De diyested
except by due process Of law, and
that the only lway in which the
United States could take any OF
the lands OF the Creek nation was
