are ready to come into the Union as
one state" said J. Thoburn. of Okla

1.-The most of the people of Oklahoma
are in favor of single statehood" con-
tinued Mr.. Thornburn. 1.-THE opposition
to it comes from the towns which are
afraid they will not get the state capt.
tai in case both territories are united
into one state, and from the politicians
who want two sets of state officers so
there will be more jobs. The most of
the people prefer that the two territor

Stranger I said, about so years
ago there was an Englishman died and
left large fortune to the United States
government for the purpose of founding
an institution in Washington for his
toric and scientific research. 1t wasn't
practical to do anything towards it just
then, and as the president didn't like to
see all that money laying in the treas
ury idle. the government loaned it to
the state of Arkansas, and took Arkan-
sas bonds for it, and to this day. my
friend, the state of Arkansas hasn't
paid cent on either principal or inter-
est of that money, and If it hadn't been
for the generosity of the American peo-
pie, through congress, in replacing that
money, the Smithsonian institution
would not be doing the work it is to-
day. 1t doesn't sound very well in view
of this fact for Arkansas man to

LANCASTER CASE
NOW RECALLED,
Was CONVICTED of Murder of Capt
Forsythe.
GEORGIAN QUITS OHIO PRISON
Sentenced to Life Imprisonment in
1891 For Murder President McKin-
ley Grants a Pardon One of
Great Interest at Time.

Wright Lancaster, convicted in the
United States court at Macon in 1891
of murder, and who has just been par
doned by the president, was one of a
number convicted of the murder of
Captain Forsythe, who was the man
ager of the lands and lumber company
of Norman w, Dodge.
Dodge had brought suits in the
United States court to GUST certain oc-
cupants of la DIS to which he claimed
he held title, and many of the cases
were decided in his favor.
Forsythe, the murdered man, was
the representative of Norman WDodge
in the control and management of 300, =
600 acres of land.
1t was during the progress of this
litigation, in fact when it was in it's
first stages, that the conspiracy result
ing in the murder of Captain Forsythe
was performed. Luther Hall, of East
man, was one of the leading lawyers in
the case. and he was also one of the
leaders of the conspiracy.
He was convicted of the murder and
sentenced by Judge Emory Speer to
life imprisonment in the United States
penitentiary at Columbus, o. He died
there q short time ago.

HAS REMOVED THE wRECKAGE
Central Got First Train. Through
Yesterday.

The first Central train, Columbus to
Americas, since Monday morning,
came through yesterday, clearing the
cyclone-wrecked train at Buena Vista.
It arrived at a. m. and returned at
$50 o'clock.
Several belated passengers for Ameri-
Gus came on this train, among them
Mr.. Alex Taylor.
Mr.. Taylor was aboard the train
Monday when the cyclone struck it,
and gives a graphic account of the fear
fal catastrophe, one of the worst on
record here.
AS already state !, the train was lift
ed bodily from the rails and turned
over The whole thing was ended in
a second and before the dazed and ter
rified passengers and crew knew what
had happened.
AS soon as possible the injured ones
were carried to Buena Vista and given
attention.
Mr.. Taylor lost all his belongings,
including sschel. papers etc., but
whether they were carried away by the
wind he does not know. Even a small
sum of money in his vest pocket was
lost in the same way.
Mr.. Tay Tor did not receive scratch,
and to this extent was fortunate.
George Graham, of this city, was
driving in buggy beside the track
when the cyclone struck the train.
His vehicle was turned over, horses
and all, but he escaped injury.
Engineer Rogers. of the wrecked
train, was here Yesterday. He said
the first he knew of the cyclone was
when twenty foot piece of timber from
nearby house came sailing through
the engine window.
Lucky it missed him, thought 1t scat
ted glass everywhere.
Some thirty or forty houses. mostly
cabins and small outbuildings, were
blown down in Buena Vista and vicini-
ty. It is indeed remarkable that there
was so little loss of life at this point.
The overturned cars and engine were
carried to Columbus yesterday.

CHAMBLISS WINS
The CLERKSHIP.
Nominated Yesterday BY Very Close
Vote.
OF THREE BALLOTS
Election One of Most Spirited Ever
Witnessed IN Sumter Total of
Nearly a Thousand Votes Cast-All
Candidates Ran Well.

By bare plurality of three votes
MIR. Charles A. Chambliss was on yes
terday nominated for the office of clerk
of Sumter superior court to fill the uu-
expired term of the late incumbent,
Judge J. Henry Allen.
1t was by long odds the closest race
ever witnessed here.
The vote, as consolidated last night.
unofficially, gives Charles Chambiiss
372 votes, Egbert Allen 1863, and Elton
Parker 241, plurality of three for
Ohambliss.
The county democratic executive
committee will meet this morning, con-
solidate the vote and declare the result
officially.
And until this is done both Messrs.
Chambliss and Allen will be exceed
ingly nervous, owing to the very close
vote, though the former feels confident
that the figures are right and cannot
be changed.
And this appears to be the opinion of
all the candidates.
The primary was one of the most
spirited ever witnessed in Sumter
county. Each of the three gentlemen
running, Messrs Chambliss, Allen and
Parker, were popular among hundreds
of friends in Sumter. -
Each realized the fact that he had the
fight of his life before him, and fought
toa finish. Both the candidates and
their friends worked heroically.
At no time during the day would
anyone predict the result.
Nearly thousand votes were cast in
the county, the exact number being
982, and as much of this was of the vest
pocket variety each candidate could
only hope that he was getting the most
of 1T.
Mr.. T. F. Gatewood ran as Mr..
Chambliss' deputy, and his personal
popularity added much to the strength
of the ticket,
At the courthouse or city precinct
65S votes were cast, while the combined
vote of the eight county precincts was
1894, However, many farmers voted in
town.
Chambliss received 219 votes in town
and 1913 in the country; Allen 271 in
town and 50 in the country; Parker 16S
in town and 70 in the country. This
was the result as announced at the
finish.
The executive committee will canvass
the vote this morning.
The election was for the unexpired
term, though only three months of the
two years has yet elapsed, The regu-
lar election will take place on April Sd,
though of course the result is already
determined.
Only two thirds of the registered
white vote was cast-982 out of total
of 1862.
