FINE MESS OF PIE COOKlNG
The Governor of Oklahoma Would

Guthrie. o. r., Feb. IA. IF the
plans of republican leaders in Okla
homa can be put into effect, Indian
Territory will be given a foru Of
local government and a measure Of
relief from the present intolerable
conditions, even if the statehood
bill should not pass. Their plan
in case'of the failure of statehood
lis to have thu laws of Oklahoma
extended over Indian Territory and
a complete county organization ef-
fected, presumably along the lines
Of the present recording districts.
The statehood feeling is still optim-
istic but it is realized thatifit does
fail some sort Of legislation is nee
essary for Indian Territory. Okla
homa could get along the way it is
while longer, but Indian Terri
tory can not. Even the shadowy
tribal governments, little as they
amount to in actual fact, expire
March and there is nothing to
take their place. On the legal side,
Indian Territory is now handicap
ped by having to conform 10 the
Arkansas code, much of which is
out of date, and in which there is
absolutely no provision for many Of
the conditions which have to be
met. 1t is recognized that the two
territories will be admitted as one
state eventually, if not at this time
andit is therefore regarded as only
the logical thing that their local or
ganization should be brought into
harmony. especially in view of the
fact that there is no organization
at all in the Indian Territory at
the present time.
The plan as proposed would in
clude the appointment by Governor
Frautz Of the county officers for
the new counties, with the assist
ance of the republican political or
ganization in each district If the
present lines of the recording dis
tricts are followed, there would be
twenty-five counties and twelve Off
GERS for each would mean a total Of
900 appointments to make. Gov

THE GRAIN is THE THING.

Grain is a most significant item in the
farmers list of necessities. Cotton may
be and is generally regarded as the great
crop. Corn is the great auxiliary, the
first lieutenant as it were, of the feecy
staple. The corn planting time is on us
in full sway at present, and the care and
consideration given to this necessary part
of the farm will tell for good or for bad
when the harvest season is over and the
years work is again begun. Let these
two facts be considered: Cotton is slump
ing; many are now buying corn to feed
their stock upon. 1t is true cotton brought
q "delightful" price last season, but
where is any guarantee that next seasons
will be so? A small per cent. OF corn
means small supply. Cut your cotton
acreage down, and good price for cot
ton will be the result. Increase corn
acreage. Cotton may be king, but your
grain is the thing-1T is THE THING.

The B0y Fooled Them.

There is good story told of q man
who has become most successful mer-
chant. A few years ago he was employ
ed as an Office boy and messenger for a
large firm. he was sent to collect an
account from firm which was consider
ed very "shaky," and was told to get the
money at all hazards. The debtors gave
the lad check for $3.50. he went to the
bank at once to cash it, and was told by
the cashier that there were not enough
funds in to meet it.
Glow much short?" asked the lad.
"Seven dollars" was the answer.
It lacked but minute or two of the
time for the bank to close. The boy felt
in his pockets, took out 81, and, pushing
it through the window, said, "Put that to
the credit of Blank s. Co."
The cashier did so, whereupon the boy
presented the check and got the money.
Blank s. Co. failed the next day, and
their chagrin can be better imagined than
described when they found out the trick
that had been played upon them.

COnyicts Escape.

BARNwELL, March 23-Early last
Monday morning two negro convicts es.
capped from the county chain gang. The
gang is at work near Caves church, dis
lance of five or six miles from Barnwell.
When the guard got up to fix breakfast
for the men he missed the two negroes
and notified the others. A search was
Instituted at once and notice was sent to
Sheriff Creech. As soon as the sheriff
heard of it he sent two of his deputies to
assist in the search. One of the negroes,
Orton Smith, was found at his house,
several miles from the place of his es-
cape by the two deputies of the sheriff
Monday night. As soon as they found
that their man was in the house they de.
cided to sit up until morning and then
make the arrest. When daylight came
one of the deputies was left on guard at
one door while the other went to look
for the fugitive. He searched two rooms
and as he started in third room negro
woman in the house notified him that he
"could not 60 in that room," and pro-
ceeded to try to prove it by barricading
it. The constable finally got the door
open and as he got his head in the door
he saw his man looking out from behind
the head of high bedstead. BE went in
and drew his gun, ordering the man to
throw up his hands. Instead the negro
rushed for him. The constable fired, but
at the same time the negro woman struck
his gun, causing the load to miss its mark.
In the excitement the negro made his es.
cape and has not been heard from since.
A reward has been offered for the cap
ture of either or both the negroes.

Talebearers,

1t is told of Hannah More that she had
good way Of managing talebearers. 1t
is said that whenever she heard anything
derogatory to another, her invariable re-
ply was, "Come, we will 60 and ask if
this be true" The effect was sometimes
ludicrously painful. The talebearer was
taken aback, stammered out a quali6ca-
ton, or begged that no notice might be
taken of the statement. But the good
lady was inexorable; off she took the
scandal-monger to the scandalized to
make inquiry and compare accounts:
1t is not likely that anybody ever second
time ventured to repeat a gossipy story
to Hannah More. One would think her
method of treatment would be sure
cure for scandal.

INFORMATION WANTED.

To the Railroad Commission of South
Carolina: On the night of the 24th OF
October, 1905, the freight warehouse OF
the Southern Railway at Bamberg was
burned. At the date of this writing,
March Oath, FIVE months later, the re-
building of this structure has not been
commenced, there is no material on the
ground, and, so far as the writer knows,
nothing has been done by the railroad
We have heard that plans for the building
have been prepared, but if the contract
has been let we do not know it. In the
meantime the people of this town and
community are being greatly inconveni-
enced. Freight for this point is stored
in freight cars, which are liable to be
scattered around on any OF the side
tracks, and we have had to put up with
this state of affairs during the busiest
season of the year. Is it right! Is it
inst that a town doing the large amount
of freight business that Bamberg does,
sbould have so little consideration at the
hands of the railroad and the commits
sion? Do yon believe that had there
been two lines of railroad at this point
that matters would have been left as
thew are for so long? Has the commits
sion any power under the law to force a
railroad to give proper freight accommo'
dations? If so, you should exercise it in
this case. If you have not the power to
force the railroad, don't you know that
your urgent requests would have great
veiehte Then why have you not insist
ed and kept on insisting that the railroad
