Ardmore, l. T, Feb. 2s.-Four years
ago territory Democrats went through
a campaign for national committee
man which for intense interest and
animosities generated could not be
surpassed in the states where suf-
frage is the inherent and valued right
Of every citizen That campaign cul-
minated in the memorable split con
vention at Ardmore, and in the cleo
tion Of two delegations to Kansas
city
Since that time the factions have
become reconclled. in outward seem
ing, at least, and the campaign now
being inaugurated is mo- expected to
follow the old lines.
For the Office of national committee
man the Democrats now have three
avowed candidates, with others loom-
ing mp as strong probabilities.
In the Chickasaw nation, Mayor
Dick of Ardmore and Hon J. 81
Thompson Of Pauls Valley are in the
race, and the lines of the campaign
for this nations delegation in the ter
ritorlal convention are rapidly being
drawn. SO far as known Dr. HALEY
of Haileyville is the only candidate
thus far announced from the east side
This situation would seem TO dictate
the necessity of a primary in the
Chickasaw nation, or some other
method Of deciding between the rival
candidates here, in order 20 give this
nation a fighting chance in the con-
vention against the east side In
this honor went to the east side, be-
ing conferred upon Hot Thomas
Marcum of Muskogee, md in 1900
there was contest resulting in a
compromise whereby he east side
again reaped the honor Hon. H. b.
/ Spalding of Muskogee, being appoint
ed by National Cha rman Jones. The
people OF the ChicLasaw nation natur.
ally feel that the honors should be
/ distributed, and they are going into
the campaign this year with the de-
termination and expectation Of bring
ling the chairmanship to the west side.
But to do this there must be a unit
ed Democracy here. Two candidates
before the convention from this ma
/ ton will again throw the chairman-
ship TO the east side, conceding that
the candidate over there carries an
average following To obviate this
result Hon. j. B Thompson Of Pauis
Valley has submitted two propositions
to Mayor Dick, the more feasible OF
which is that TO hold a primary cleo
ton with a view to eliminating one OF
the candidates. No answer has been
given as yet, but this or some similar
plan Is likely to be adopted

Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After
Ten Years Of Suffering.

Il wish to say few words in praise
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and

tie Burge. of Martinsville. Va. Il
suffered from chronic diarrhoea for
ten years and during that time tried
various medicines without obtaining
any permanent relief. Last summer
one of my children was taken with
cholera morbus. and procured a
bottle of this remedy. Only two doses
were required to give her entire re-
lief. I then decided to try the medi-
cine myself and did not use all Of one
bottle before I was we'll and I have
never since been troubled with that
complaint. One cannot say too much
in favor OF that wonderful medicine" "

The Maids Evasive Answer.
Philadelphia Telegraph.

Strange as it may seem, there is
public man in this city who is blessed
or cursed with a tender conscience
that worries him in small matters as
we'll as in great. Among the things
that he cannot justify to himself is the
bidding a servant to say that he is not
al home when in reality he is inside
his house At the same time he is not
able to receive the many visitors who
call upon him. and his only resource
was to give instructions that polite
excuses should be given. Upon one
occasion such instructions were given
to a maid, an Irish girl gifted with
the readiness and good wit of her ma
ton.
Then I'm to be saying, sir, that

GOLD NUGGET.

it the largest nugget OF this metal

pounds and sold for tritle over S35.-

weighed $40 pounds and was about 4
inches thick, feet nine inches long

after working down a few feet the

days after the first nugget had been
unearthed. a third was brought to

the consequent reflected excitement

AULL LIBRARY ACT.
3o2 School Libraries Established Un-
der it's Provisions.

According to the reports sent in
by the various county superintendents
OF education to the state superinten-
dent of education, 3o2 school libraries
have been established under the pro-
visions of the Aull library act, passed
by the recent legislature. State Su-
perintendent Martin thinks that this
is doing very well indeed, inasmuch
as the law has been in operation but
four months and many of the schools
closed soon after the money became
available. He says that this work will
receive renewed interest and effort
when the schools open again in the
fall.
1t will be noticed that the counties
OF Darlington, Edgeheld, Fairfield,
Florence, Greenwood. Marlboro, Rich
land, Spartanburg and York have the
full twelve allowed under the provis-
ions of the act. and several Of the
others will soon reach the limit for
this year. Several county superin-
tendents reported that they could
raise more than twelve. Superinten-
dent Elmore, of Spartanburg, says
that he thinks that his county would
raise fifty by the close of the year if
the same conditions should apply to
all over twelve. For Richland twen-
ty-three libraries have been establish
ed. the trustees having advanced the
money for the extra ones. A prom
inent citizen of Darlington county
donated enough money to help the
twelve most needy schools in that
county, and that will make twenty
four for Darlington.
The establishment of the small IL
braries has given an impetus to the
povment for improved school Ii
braries and better equipment. The
state superintendent hopes that the
library law will be continued with its
provisions enlarged and extended, and
he believes also that it will lead to
some legislation for better houses and
equipment.

each county:

WILL ARRANGE FOR
 PRIMARY ELECTION
City Democratic Committee to
 Meet This Month
PUBLIC SENTIMENT RULES
Majority of the Committee Favor Put ting Heads of Departments on Tleket-Aiso i-avor the
 Plurality Plan.

The city democratic executive commit tee will hold meeting between the 2oth and the 25th of this month for the pur- pose of fixing the cate for the municipal primary and adopting a general plan for the election.
 It is understood that majority of the committee are in favor of putting all of ernment on the ticket and of plurality as against the majority rule. By the plurality rule the candidate receiving the largest vote Is declared the nominee Of the party.
 The plurality system was adopted by tle county convention for last spring primary and as 1t worked satisfactorily the city committee will probably adopt the same rule.
 The opponents of the majority rule point out the expense and the worry of a run over primary. After the voters get through with one primary, say the advo- cates of the plurality plan. they have had quite enough of elections for the time.
 Chairman Ahernathy and other members | Of the committee say they are ready to do whatever the public demands. But the concensus of opinion, 1t is said Is in favor of the plurality plan. | The city democratic committee has the power to make all of the primary rules It fixes the date of the primary and says what class of candidates shall be placed on the ballot
