A Hunch

To the property owners Of Guthrie-
Can you give reason, logical, or
otherwise. why Guthrie with It's many
railroads win not be within The short
space Of two years city Of $4,000
inhabitants? Why It win not be the
retail and iobbing city OF the south
west? Why It should not with its
excellent railroad facilities erect a
cotton mill? It's in as good a cotton
belt as any OF the mill towns Of
Georgia and bucket brigade"
would look awful gOod
Why the real estate opportunisss
here don't offer better investments
than other cities OF like sIze on
earth? Why tho railroads are an SO
curing terminals and acreage proper
~ here. without It's meaning that
there is going 70 be something do
ing" Why you don't during this
calm before the storm" have Laux
make an abstract OF your property.
SO you can correct all flaws at your
leisure? Many good sale falls
through on account Of detects in titles.
You experienced this during the little
furry Of year ago.
The best Of prophets for the future
Is the past" My hunch 10 you Is that
you govern yourself as above set
forth. generate little enthusiasm for
Guthrie and you'll soos realize that IL
really deserves to be what II is--the
only city Of destiny" In the south

make the purchase. but Jepson came
along. and hearing that Hurst had "
goose to sell, proceeded to buy it. He
gave him 80 cents for it and Hurst is

GO TO VALPARAISO.
American Interests to De Protected

American Interests to De Protected
in Chilli.
Washington, June 8.-Upon receipts
of a report from American representa-
tives in Chill to the effect that the sit
uation at Valparaiso is unsatisfactory
owing to the recent social disturbances
there. the State Department this after
noon requested the Navy Department
to dispatch a ship to that point in or
der that American interests may be
fully protected in the event of an
emergency.
Cable orders were sent to Rear Ad-
miral Sumner, commanding the North
Atlantic station, to proceed at once
with his squadron now at Montevideo
through the straits to Valparaiso
Rear Admiral Summers squadron con-
sists of the protected cruiser New
ark, flagship; protected cruiser Detroit
and the gunboats Gloucester and Mont
gomery.
Orders also were telegraphed to Adj
miral Glass at San Francisco to be
ready for sea, and in the event that
Admiral Sumner is unable 10 get un-
der way at once the Pacific squadron
may be ordered to CHILEAN waters in
stead.
II IS understood that the British
government intimated a wish that
American ships go 10 Gillian waters
because OF the disturbances there IN
connection with the recent dock strike.

FAST MAIL WRECKED.
Engineer w. A. Wilson Was Seri-

Charlotte, N. c., June 8.-Southern
Railway train No. 81, the fast mail
from New York to New Orleans, which
is now routed via Columbia on ac-
count of the recent flood, collided with
a freight train near Fort Mill, S. c.,
about $50 o'clock this evening.
Only one man, Engineer w. A. Will
son of Columbia, was seriously injured.
One ankle was broken by jumping and
the leg bruised so that he may lose
it. The occupants of both cabs jumped.
The impact was head-on, at full
speed. The engines were badly torn
up and both rolled down the embank-
ment. Five or six freight cars were
demolished and one mail car consider
ably damaged Some of the mail clerks
were slightly bruised.
The track will probably be cleared
by morning. 1t is said that the freight
crew misread orders and ran past the
meeting point.

GROFFS INDICTED.
Charged With Offering Bribe to
A. w. Machcn.

A. w, Machcn.
Washington, June S.--The Federal
grand jury found true bills against the
Croft brothers in connection with the
alleged offering of brides to A. w.
Machen, former superintendent of free
delivery of the Postoffice Department
This action was taken on the same
day that Mr.. Machen was indicted
The delay in presenting the indict-
ments has been due to the fact that
they could not be prepared for pres
entation before to-day.
The bond of Samuel A. Croft was
increased from $1,000 to $4,000. That
of Diller B. Croft was not changed
from $4,000. Both furnished the re-
quired bond for their appearance at
the fall term of the court.
The Croft brothers will be tried under
Section 5451 of the Revised Statutes,
which makes it an offense to promise
money to any government officer with
the view to influencing his action or
decision on any question or matter
which may be pending before him. BY
bringing in the indictments to-day the
hearing before the United States COM
missioner, which was set for to-mor-
row, will be abandoned.
The grand jury will take up the case
of ex-Assistant Attorney General for
the Postofice Department Tyner, who
was dismissed from office as a result
of the rifiing of safe in his office.
Although the opening of the safe was
not done by Mr.. Tyner personally, it
is charged that he was connected with
the act in such a way as to compel
the laying of the case before the grand
jury for its action

is NO REAL FAMINE
IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Taft Discredits Former Reports of
starvation.


starvation.
Washington, June S.--The War De-
partment to-day made public a report
received from Gov. Taft, replying to
statements made by Lieut.. Gen. Miles
after his visit to the islands last year.
Il. and says:
THAT there is a shortage in the is
lands of the usual food supply is un-
doubtedly true. but l have been sur
prised to find thus far how little real
famine or hunger there has been.
have not received a single call from
single provincial governor for rice for
free distribution in the entire archi-
pelago.
The action of the commission in di-
recting a proclamation by the civil
governor calling upon the people ev
erywhere to plant corn. oats or sweet
potatoes rice and other quickly grow
ing food products had a very wide in
fiuence in stirring up the people to pro-
vide against the coming of famine.
The most serious feature of the sit
uation is the loss of the cattle from
rhinderpest. 1t is necessary that all
cattle brought here shall be immunized
ny having a. germ Injected llllO lntlI
veins which will render them immune
for three or four months. and at the
| same time by being inoculated with the
rhinderpest virus which renders them
immune at least for five years and
| probably longer.
I'VE have made a contract for the
| delivery of 10000 carabao in the islands
with the permanent immunization.
| These are to be brought from the
Yang-tse valley in China
II am unable to see that the govern
| ment transports could be made useful
to us either in the transportation of
rice or the transportation of cattle. We
can charter steamers adapted to our
purposes at perhaps one-fourth or one
fifth of the cost of operating the trans
ports as proposed by the lieutenant
general of the army. We have some
twelve or fourteen coast guard vessels
which can transport rice quickly to
any part of the archipelago, and we
can purchase rice in the Orient at a
much cheaper price than we can bring
corn or wheat from the United States.
The rice which we can thus bring to
save the people from starvation Is the
food which they are used to eating
whereas they would have been taught
TO eat wheat.
"It Is exceedingly important that we
shall not pauperize the people of these
islands by unnecessary gratuitous dis
tribution of rice.
Il thing generally the statements of
facts In the report of the lieutenant
general is correct so far. at least, as
the dreadful depression in agriculture
by reason of the loss of the cattle, is
concerned. The remedy which he
suggests by the use of the government
transports, however, / do not concur
in. The danger from famine has not
been as great as / supposed II was. and
as the lieutenant general was justified
in supposing it was from the reports
he heard. In any event with the
funds provided by Congress now, 1
feel confident that the Philippine gov
eminent is in a position TO meet any
emergency of this kind which may
arise"

The bodies of the above have been

The relief subscriptions to date
amount to nearly $1,000, including ST.

Spinners Association. The relief COM
mittees have also secured a great
quantity of clothing and rations.
The Mary Louise mill on Island
creek, operating 1000 spindles and own

ly destroyed. Portions of the Tiger
mill on Middle Tiger river are also re-

900. The damage to the Tucapau
mills will aggregate $4,000. and to
the Fingerville mills $4,000. These
losses are additional to the heavier
damage to the Clifton and Pacolet
plants and swell the total in the flood
ed district to something like $3,50O,0OO.
