CHECOTAH ITEMS.

The school question is up again be-
fore the colored people. About two
years ago the people here voted for
schol house for the white ch,ANen
and one for the colored children
So the white school building was com
nlcted and occupied January Ist, 1906,
with cost of $4,000 and the col
ored school is not completed and not
occupied with costof about 5000 90.
That is a very bad showing for tho

1000 to 1000 head Of cattle being fed
within about fifty fet of the school
building 1t is dangerous for the chill
drcn to be at school. The cattle are

pen and get away, and should the
children be at recess or going home
at the time this occurs their lives
would be in danger Think over the

Diatina oil Canals in nuek.

Perhaps nothing but experience will
convince either of the parties to the
Everglades controversy, but there is at
least one difference that reason and ex-
perience should settle. The followers
of the Governor talk of their canals
and then ask with naughty heads and
expended chests, Wont water run
down hill?" Not in the Everglades for
long. Why? That has long been one
Of the mysteries of that most mysteri-
GUS region, but it need not be so forever
Water will not run down hill, or there
would be no need to dig those ditches--
Okeechobee is twenty feet above the
ocean, and still the water won't run.
Why? For exactly the reason that dig
ging must continue to the end of the
chapter-the canals will never be fin
ished.
In all that territory aquatic plants
grow with phenomenal rapidity and ex-
traordinary abundance. Twice a year
tons upon tons of this harvest float with
the current, catch on the sandbars, pile
up against the banks, and impede the
flow. Because of them water doesn't
run down hill in the Everglades but a
little while at a time-because of them
the canals must be dredged out once or
INlSS year u JHS SAptIlSt Ol ulR-
ging must be added the expense of eter-
nal renewals. Dsston dug his bitches,
beginning in Lake Okeechobee, and
when he reached tide water his dredges
couldn't turn around and go back!
Now all experience shows the real
along these water courses is
exactly that which has successfully de-
fled the science and purse Of the Amer
lean government in the St. Johns and in
Louisiana-nature is building up lands
with those plants, and conditions which
stop the growth can alone defeat her
plans How many dredges would it
take to keep five hundred miles of these
water courses free from the aquatic
plants of that section? How many
men? How many dollars per annum
after the bitches have been dug? This
growth was the worst problem that
confronted Disston-it proved too diff
cult for him.
Meantime, since we have known that
section water has refused to run down
hill, and those who so confidently declare
that lake twenty feet higher than tide
water is in need of drainage must admit
the fact. Times Union.

rHE BUYER PAYS rHE BILL.
". L. Douglas Tells Why Shoes Have
Advanced In Price.

The shOemakers say they will have to
raise the price of shoes unless the tariff
on hides Ia re moved. w. l.. Douglas,
now visiting in Miami, says: The hide
duty adds about cents a pair to the
cost of producing thesgrade of shoes
manufacture. I also, wish to make il
quite plain to the public that, while an
increase Of but z cents in the cost of
manufacture of a pair of $3.50 shoes
seems q small and unimportant matter,
that amount represents more than the
net profit of the average manufacturer.
To put 81, $50, 900 into the treasury Of
the United States as the result of the
duty upon hides, we put about 81, 900, 900
of unnecessary tariff profit in the hands
Of the beef and leather trusts. This
puts an iniQuitous tax upon the sole
leather industry of about $40, 900, 900,
and disables that industry in it's fight
for the markets Of the world" Who
gets the benefit of the tariff on hides?
Not the men who raise the cattle. The
butchers, the packing houses, get it.
And the shoe buyer pays it,

His Pictures are 60 BE Given Away As
Supplements With the Atlanta
Sunday IORFmAl.

Sunday JoGrnAl.
A story in which romance and enter
prise are mingled will be Of vast inter-
est TO the readers Of the Atlanta Jour
nal, especially those who are devotees
Of art and superb drawings in their
highest forms Of development.
The ever-enterprising Atlanta Journ-
al has contracted at enormous cost to
carry through the greatest achievement
ever worked out South of the Ohio riv-
er in the newspaper realm. This achieve
ment is nothing less than to furnish in
Sunday supplement form the world re-
nowned drawings of Charles Dana Glib
son. These sketches are those which
for the past two years have appeared
in Golfers great publication. Purchas-
ed at any store, they bring from 81 25
to 500, so the value of the gift when
counted in many thousands can be well
appreciated.
The romance which paved the way
for the Journals enterprise looms up
one of the most unique of the decade.
Some time ago Golfers publication ask
ed Gibson for the exclusive use of his
sketches, which from time to time had
appeared in the most celebrated maya
zines in the country. The artist stated
that no one publication could nearly af
ford to pay for any exclusive use, but
Golfers Immediately offered him 500,
900 for 100 of his drawings. This offer
was accepted by Mr.. Gibson, and from
that date until 1906 dawned upon the
calendar these great sketches appeared
weekly in Golfers journal, the most at
tractive offering ever furnished by any
in all history. Having COM
cd &c hn hnWnRfnrI
Gibson informed his publishers that he
was out for fame and not for glory.
He announced that he had finished with
that form of art work, and that as he
had no further need for an addition to
his income. he would go abroad and
work under the most famous masters of
art. His ambition was to be a painter
and so with these sketches his labors
along the lines that made him famous
reached an end
His last sketches stand out as his
greatest, the work of master crafts
man. They are not only celebrated
works of art, but each carries a story
of human interest and character point |
that will be well appreciated by all.
The Journals successful effort in &C
curing such rare treasures for its
subscribers stands out as one |
Of the boldest strokes in the history of
the Southern journalistic field, and one
that is sure to add great popularity to
the already high esteem in which the
paper is held. These sketches will all
be Of original size and printed on the
finest paper obtainable. Each can be
saved and used in enlarging home art
galleries. The same set if purchased
would cost something. about
BIS, 600, while coming as they will there
will be no extra money expense for
hose who take them in connection with

pose no further objections to answering
Mr.. Hadley's interrogations
Acknowledgement Hadley is accompa-

Oil company.
Mr.. Hadley sad that suponeas had
been served on n II. Rogers, II. M.
Tileford, w d. Rockefeller, Wade
Hampton and John A. Archbold. He
also said that no service had been Sc
cured on John D. Rockefeller.
Mr. Hadley's attention being called
to the fact Of the arrival of boy baby
at the home of John ID. Rockefeller,
Jr., and the reported disposition Of John
d. Rockefeller, Sr. to visit the city TO
see his new grandson, he said:
eff John d. Rockefeller were to say

son TO pay his respects TO the new baby
and were to ask immunity from the
process for that purpose, | should be
