All Eyes on the South.

"All eyes on the South" has be
come common expression. The
world IS intently watching the wonder
full growth and development of this
section. The progress of the south is
amazing, and it elicits the admiration
and praise Of all civilized nations.
The following interesting article is
from the Railroad Record and Com
mon Carrier for August:
With an enormous cotton crop rip
ening, the largest fruit crop in its his
tory, and prospects for great yield Of
corn, the south is reasonably sure of
prosperous fall and winter. Twelve
million bales Of cotton is copserva-
tion estimate at this writing. The
price for fall months is really better
than we could expect.
Peaches brought into Georgia alone
nearly three million dollars, and the
south's melons and vegetables have
netted two or three times as much.
The south 8 cotton will give us half a
billion dollars and there will be very
little corn to buy next winter.
In the west, corn prospects arc fine
but wheat will be 20 per cent short.
So the vest will barely hold its own.
In the east, the presidential cam
paigu and a slow iron and steel market
are depressing generally business.
Last winter, the south cotton mon
ey went long way to avert general
panic. Now it looks as if the South
will again furnish the money and the
prosperity for the nation.
On June Both last, the Southern
Railway completed its tenth year.
One decade is short period in the
history of corporation or country,
but mapy important things may occur
in that brief span.
In the case of the Southern, the
system has grown remarkably. It has
jumped from 4,140 miles to 1854
miles.
It's gross earnings have increased
from SIT 900, 900 to s45, 100000.
Its common stock has risen from be-
low 10 to above 45, although at pres.
ent it is above 27.
Its preferred has advanced from be-
low 20 to 50 and has been to SO.
For four or five years it did not pay
dividend on preferred. Then it be.
gan by paying one per cent, and for
the last two years has paid five pei
cent annually on the preferred.
Millions of dollars have been spent
on road.bei, bridges, rails, shops, ter.
minals and equipment. The road has
been practically rebuilt, and it is now
high-class property in every respect.
The Southern has advertised the
South all over the globe and it has
brought in millions of investment in
farms and manufacturing industries,
The company's service has been
wonderfully improved, and is nov
equal to any in the land. The South
ern has reached down into Florida and
west to St. Louis. It has been pro
gressive and liberal, and the public
has shown it's appreciation by giving
| it abundant patronage.

WARRANTS OUT
FOR five men
Inspectator P erry Accuses
Prisoners of Violating Rules
QUARANTINE REGULATIONS
Board Will Seek to Enforce
the Rules Vigorously

Guthrie, o. T.. May 12.-Thomas Nor
ris, secretary of the Territorial Live Stock
Sanitary commission today received no.
tice that Inspector Perry had sworn out
warrants for five men in Kiowa county
for violation of the quarantine regula-
tions, but the inspector gave no names.
For some time past there has been an
inclination on tn part of some of the
stOckmen to violate the rules established
by the sanitary board and Secretary Nor
ris is deteremind to put stop to these
violations if there is power in the law to
do it. 1t is the. intention of the board to
make a vigorous effort to enforce all rules
made for the protection of the live stock
interests of the territory. and Secretary
Morris will do his duty without fear or
favor. He said today:
Inspector Perry sent me word that the
law was being violated in Kiowa county
and / answered back for him to swear
out warrants for every man who was vio-
lating the law and he has just answered
that he has sworn out warrants for the
arrest of five men. and / suppose that
just as soon as they are arrested l will
get the particulars and be informed as to
who they are and what they have done.
We intend to arrest every person found
the quarantine laws and peo-
pie can avoid trouble by complying with
the regulations Of the board"

Cross a warm support and Matthews of

the nomination If Cross would throw his
influence to him. Bill Cross is a good
hand shaker and he has friends all over
the territory. but they Will not be able
to nominate him this time.
The Democratic leaders are demanding
a candidate who can contribute literally
to the campaign fund and now they are
satisfied that Judge Maxey is going 10

heel of his No. 10 shoe and hence his
growing popularity among the workers

Democrat. as they will enjoy the. fun of
seeing the Pop wing of the Democratic
conglomeration whooping it up for a
national banker.

BROOM CORN A FAVORITE.
Custer County Farmers Pay Little At
tention to Wheat.

Guthrie. Q. T, May l2-Wrn. 7. Walker.
county clerk of Custer county. was in
the city today on business. He is county
clerk by reason of the number of Demo
cratic voters in Custer county and he
gave II as his opinion that the Demo
Gratis would put up a big fight This year
for the congressman. He seemed to think
that Judge Maxey Of Shawnee. would
get a good deal of support from the
western part of the territory.
&~ Walker says that wheat in his coun-
~ this year will not amount to very
much. He says the farmers In that sec
ton do not depend very much on wheat
anyhow. The crops this year will be
corn. cotton. broom-corn and alfalfa. He
thinks that broom-corn is making the
farmers a good deal of money and al
falfa is also a paying crop. He says
that the city Of Arapsho has about one
thousand people, ard Clinton. a new
town only four miles from Arapaho.
claims the same number. Arapaho has
the Frisco and the Orient roads. and
Clinton has the same roads and the Choc-
taw. Nr. Walker did not advance any
such theory. but it can be seen that IL
each town would build toward the
Washita river. which runs between them
that they might soon become one town or
big city

and no opposition was offered to the elec-

Claremore had no fight for the conven-

that the Muskogeeites decided at noon not

Illicit distiling. They were running a
still near Grand in a dug-out, and had

The banquet was very pleasant affair
and the visiting firemen left the banquet

and when he arose to speak on single
statehood he was given an ovation. He
up that all of the Republicans
and about half the Democrats in the ma
tional congress were In favor of one state

tories to give congress to understand that
