Since Oklahoma grew up and became
a respectable candidate for statehood,
she has put off some Of tho airs of the
mining frontier. This has been to her
material benefit. no doubt, but it
leaves her less picturesque. 1t is a plea
sure, therefore, to note that there are
still regions in the territory where
! the old spirit survives. A breath OF it
| comes in a press dispatch from Enid.
This town is eight years old, has a
population OF more than nine thousand.
| but "has never had a regular burying
ground Of any description" The rca-
| son. naively set forth in the dispatch,
| is that the town Is the scene of few
natural deaths: most Of the inhabitants
are persons who have moved in from
the States and when, after some mis-
understanding, one of them is killed,
it is the custom to send the body homo
for burial" If tho bodies need little
attention after the misunderstanding
there is an mdortaker's establishment
in connection with q furniture store in
Enid. and the coroner and the express
agent are prepared to do the rest. A
cemetery would be an obvious supcr-
| fiuity.

them that tn" proportion Of women in

inE. There alc usually moro women
than men who arc able to pass the civil
service examinations. bat the ratio Of
appointments is about the same. 1t
has been stated that the reason why

Spanish Friendlinesu.

Speaking Of Spanish officers re-
minds me Of the mlsapprehension that
continues even today among our people
concerning their hostility toward u.s.
AS a matter Of fact. an American
army officer will not find Snywhere in
Europe more genuine and cordial cour-
tesy than from them. 1t may come
from a long Inheritance in this grave
and courtly nation" or spring from the
real absence Of any sustained enmity
toward a people who have brought
them much suffering. but where army
officers are concerned It undoubtedly
takes its source in that sentiment
which was as spontaneous at Santiago
as at FOntenoy and which forms a
real and unconscious brotherhood
among military men Of AZ nations In
both peace and war.-CaPtain 7. Bent.

RIa Whisky Seizure.

Greensboro. N. c.. Sept. SO.-Internal
revenue agents at Milton, Caswell
county, made the largest seizure Of
liquor known in the history Of the de-
partment in North Carolina. Six thou
sand gallons valued at $4,000 were
seized by Deputy Collector Starbuck
just as the barrels were being loaded
on the train for shipment. The lis
barrels were all properly stamped and
we're seized for violation of the rev.
enue law. Officers decline to divulge
the particulars. The whisky will be
stored in the government warehouse
here unless the owner gives bond. The

}. Fl. TILLMAN ON TRIAL
Great Array of Lawyers On Both Sides
In Murder Case.

In Murder Case.
Lexington, S. c.. Sept. 29-James H.
Tillman, former lieutenant governor of
South Carolina. was placed on trial
here in the circuit court for Lexington
county under an indictment charging
him with the murder of N. G. Gonzales,
editor OF the Columbia State. Judge
Frank B. Gary presided. The jury was
selected without trouble and the first
witnesses called.
Probably never in the history Of this
judicial circuit has there been so great
an array Of counsel engaged in the trial
of a case in the circuit or perhaps in
the entire state. The solicitor is as
sisted by five attorneys, while the de-
fendant has II lawyers, W. G. w.
Croft a representative in congress
from Aiken. as chief counsel, conduct
ing the defense.
A vigorously contested legal battle
is in prospect. 1t was manifested at
the very outset Of the trial that every
inch of ground is to be contested.
1t is estimated that there are about
200 witnesses to be heard.
