Registrars Will Observe Party's
 Pledge.


 White men insist upon their rights, and will not submit to disfranchisCment by any registrars, but, if necessary, will prove their right to register, before jury of their neighbors. The registrars will know this and will not refuse to register them, except for good cause. Be- sides this, it must be presumed that the registrars who will be appointed by high officials in the party that has always stood for white mans supremacy, will be in sympathy with the best method yet devised to secure it.
 Permanent Plan.
 Beginning with 1903, the permanent plan becomes operative. It provides that to be qualified to register, the elector must be able to read and write any clause of the Constitution or must own $500 worth of taxable property, either in his own or his wifes name. This plan is intended to elevate, and will have the effect of elevating. the standard of the electorate. With the increased facilities furnished by the public schools under the new Constitution, it will be an easy mat ter for the citizen to qualify himself un- der this plan. It refers to those applying

The sad news neached this nlace cav.
eral days since of the murder OF Mr..
Herbert McDade, somewhere in the In
dian Territory, but the particulars were
then too meager for us to make anv def
mite statement. We learn that while in
search OF lost or stolen COW, he rode
upon the thieves band of three In
dians-in the act Of skinning its carcass.
AS the penalty for COW stealing is a Sc
we're one in the Territory, the Indians
thought to cover up their crime. which
resulted in the murder Of the young man.
The guilty parties have since been ap-
pretended, and have no doubt been
dealt with in the way that the perpetra-
tors OF such crimes should be. The
murder occurred near Holdenville. on
the 22d ult.
MI. McDade was born in Cook county.
Texas, on December 6, 1877, and was %
years and Is days old at the time of his
death.
He was an agreeable companion, a
staunch friend; manly, courageous and
polite and was loved and admired by
scores. He was kind to both sister and
brother and was ever thoughtful of and
ooedient to his parents. He was one of
the younger sons and the pet of his good
Old father, who has gone before him.
The remains were brought back to
Haughton, the young mans home, and
were tenderly laid to rest in the old
Fillmore cemetery.
Peace to his ashes. May God comfort
and heal the bleeding hearts of his dear
mother and other relatives.

HIS COUNT was CORRECT.
But the Dispute Cost the PensioDcr B,s
TolIs


Until recently every person Wiz
crossed certain bridge over The
Seine in Paris had to pay ton, Ind
an old pensioner was stati@nedst fhe
entrance to the bridge to eoIIect the
money. Constant objections were
raised on the toll, and al possible
tricks were resorted to in order to
avoid payment
One afternoon, says the Huntsville
Democrat, band of ten students
came up to the bridge; but before
they started to 90 over a man drew
near and said
"You walk across, and ri sec what
/ can do about getting you through
free"
The little company walked along
together until they reached the PEN
sioner,s box, when the man went up
to the toll collector, and, taking out
a handful Of coin, began counting the
students in a somewhat loud tone of
voice
"I'here are nine," he said, after
counting very deliberately.
Il beg your pardon" replied the
pensioner, "there are ten"
"No, no, my friend, I'm sure there
are nine" persisted the other.
Then he proceeded to count them
again, even more slowly than before.
BY the time he had finished the stu
dents had reached the other end Of
the bridge, and were disappearing
from view Then the man said to the
collector:
Certainly, you are right There
are ten. But / don't know them, so
what does it matter to me-"
He then laid down his coin and
sauntered across, calmly whistling =
