GOVERNOR
JOHNSTON
BALKS on THE CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION CALL is NOT GIVING j
1T ANY ATTENTION
He FAVORS SINGLE STATEHOOD
Chickasaw Nation Will Send No Dele gates
to the Convention.

Muskogee, 1. T. July 3o-Gov-
ernor d. Ii. Johnston of the
Chickasaw Nation was in Muskogee
this morning and stated to Dem
ocrat man that he would not issue
call for the coming constitutional
convention which will convene in
this city August 2Ist.
Governor Johnston arrived in the
Queen City, from his home al
Emmett, in the Chickasaw Matt IN,
on an early morning train, and LETT
tor his home en- the noon flyer.
Governor Johnston said he was
in Muskogee on a matter of bus
mess in connection with the issuing
Of deeds by Commissioner Bixby.
No settlement Of the vexing
problem was agreed upon by either
Mr.. Blxby or myself, but l feel
sure that the deeds will be deliver
ed before great while, he said.
In regard to the constitutional
convention, the chief Of the Chick
asaw nation said: II have been very
busy and have been unable to give
the matter much consideration, but
| do not think a call will be issued
by me. The constitutional con-
vention has been not agitated in
the Chickasaw Natiou like it has
here, and through press of business,
| will not be permitted to be pres
ent on August 2Ist in your city.
! do not think we are ready for
statehood because in our country
no deeds have been issued as yet,
but if we get statehood, l favor a
combination with Oklahoma,
Governor Johnston was met by
Governor Porter of the Greek Nat
ion, at the Katy depot, just before
the flyer left at noon today but
Governor Porter, with all the elo-
quence at his command, could not
bulge Governor Johnston from his
disapproval of the constitutional
convention.
Goveruor Johnston is a fine look
ing man, dark and straight as an
arrow and is a relative of the re-
nowned General, Albert Sidney
Johnston of Civil war fame.
Governor Johnston expressed
great surprise at the hustle and
hustle in Muskogee and marveled
at the amount of new buildings
and their character.
Chillion Riley Of Ardmore, ex-
chief law clerk on the DAVIS Com
mission was in the city transacting
business before the departments
this morning.
Mr., Riley says he does not think
a delegation will be sent from the
Chickasaw nation to the proposed
Constitutional convention to be
held in Muskogee next month.
"If Gev Johnston would take
hold Of the matter, he could work |
up considerable interest in the
So far he has he'd aloof |
from mixing up in the matter.

THEY ARE BOASTFUL
Times Journal Tells About Prowess Of
Oklahoma City Fans

The Times Journal yesterday
discharged the following load evil
IDENTIFY for the purpose Of frighten-
ing our peerless commercial club
fans:
The Chickasha Commercial Club
has grown rather bold for such a
young club, or else its members
have never been away from home
much, for they have, without any
Logging on, come out boldly
with def to the Chamber Of
Commerce Of this city, and chal-
lenged them to play baseball.
Now they do not know what sort
of punishment they are rigging
up for themselves. Oklahoma
City may be slow town, but
whatever she may be, at least she
can play ball some. Everybody in
Oklahoma City is natural born
ball player, from the bench to the
pitchers box. In fact, we sport
ball players of the muluti-hemi-
semi-demi class.
The batteries for this occasion,
for Oklahoma City, will probably
be Allen and Allen, two brothers,
who have been doing the amateur
stunt to perfection, in the games
between the different mills Of this

Gadsden Cotton Market.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In your issue of October "A, in the fourth column on the fourth page, under the head of ''rlanters of Cherokee" you have an article which does Gadsden a great injustice.
 The merchants. the cotton buyers of Gadsden and the cotton mills at Alabama City pay the highest market price for cotton. while the article referred to would seem to indicate that the Gadsden market was 121A points below that or Rome, Ga No such discrepancy as tms has ever existed in this cotton market.
 Mr. McElreth is certainly not informed as to the conditions in Gadsden.
 We all understand that you published this as an interview with a prominent planter of Cherokee county purely as matter of news and with no disposition to cast any discredit upon Gadsden, ana we all believe that you will make the necessary correction in order that as Tar as possible this misleading and hurtfui reflection on the Gadsden cotton market may be offset by the facts in the case Any one who has cotton to sell can rest assured that they will receive the very highest market price for the same in Gadsden.
 Tbankina YOU in advance for the cour- tesy of your attention In this matter am, yours truly,

GEORGIA QUARANTINE
 WAS NOT EXPENSIVE
Cost Has Been Little More Than $30OO, While AIabama's Has Cost
 $2o,ooo.

Atlanta, October 26.-(Special )-The Georgia quarantine against Louisiana. Mississippi and other points which were infected with yellow fever, was formally declared off today by President Willis F. N estmoreland and Secretary II. F. Harris of the state board of health, after con- sultation by wire with all the members of the board. It was intended to have ended the quarantine yesterday, but all the replies were not received from the members of the state board until this morning. so while the quarantine was practically ended yesterday, the formal order raising 1t was not issued until to- day.
 Officials of the state board of health as- sert that the Georgia quarantine has been a success from every standpoint, all though the total expense was but little more than 5000 as against an expenditure of $20, GOO which Alabama had to make for thep rotection of that state. But Georgia, fin part received the benefit of Alabama $ quarantine because the refugees from most sections had to deal with the Ala bama quarantine before they reached the Georgia line.
 The most serious trouble which the state board had in maintaining it's quar- antine was brought about by the ef- forts of the city board of health of Atlanta to admit Into her limits whatever refugees desired to come from the in- fected districts. An injunction suit which was decided in the states favor soon brought an end to this annoyance, and the quarantine was then carried on with out further hindrance. The city has ap- pealed the case to the supreme court, but it will be some weeks yet before final decision Is had.

the negroes. But says one, the law re- ferring to the payment of poll tax is cumulative. Why should 1t not be cu- mulative? What sort of law would it be which imposed a tax and attached penalty for non payment of it, and then continued, any one not paying the tax this year shall have both tax and pen atty remitted next year?
 What can be said for those who do not pay the poll tax? Those who can pay. but don't, disfranchise themselves. They have the option of enfranchising themselves at any time. Those who are too poor to pay the tax. if there be any such, are martyrs to the cause; they are .ne soldiers in the front rank of --.e bat tie, who are shot by the first volleys from the enemy. Their sacrifice insures victory. F. ASHTON.
