PLAY FOR The MILLION.

Unlike certain rramas which zp
pal chiefly to Limited artistic or
Literary sets, TIE Clznsman" IS q
play for the million. Every Ameri-
car citizen wishes 10 know how the
South shook of the grip Of the car
petbagger and The negro and estab-
Iished white supremacy. This Is
uhat The Ciansman" tells with
tragic force and thrilling power,
inferspersed with the quiet but de-
lightful scenes Of life IN he South
land in which laughter and tears
iniermingle. 1t has already obtain
ed a vogue similar to those Of
"Shore Acres" "Old Homestead
and other great American plays,
but it will last longer than them
becaus Of its fearless and trenchsnt
treatment Of the great negro pro-
blem The fierce. fascinating
"CIansman." as a clever critic call
ed il, will be on view at the Oprea
House next Monday night.

was conclusively shown in two

Southwestern districts.
This combine also looks after
freight rates and frequently the loc-
al freight rates on lumber in the
Southwest are a. high for TOO miles

is shipped from Arkansas into In

rate for a longer haul than from

What are you doing for Carnegie
Library an Ardmoreite reporter
asked this morning of one Of the di.
rectors of the Carnegie Library we
are stocking the library with the best
books obtainable and doing all I'm our
power to get the library filled with a
sufficient number of books to make a
creditable showing at the public open
ing to be given September 22. This
day has been set for opening the libra
ry to the public and it is the desire
of the board Of control as well as Of
all Interested In the library that
good showing be made"
The opening date was set for some
time ago but on account of books not
ARRIVING, the opening the deayed until
the latter part of September We
are going TO make a house to hC
canvass" continued the member of
the board for books and money, and
II the people Of Ardmore want an OPP
portunity to show how much they APP
preciate the gift Of Mr.. Carnegie, they
will be given one soon. This canvass
will take in every one who can pos
sibly be interested in the library, and
this should be every one in town"
The reading people Of Ardmore are
showing a great interest in the stock
ing Of the library and are helping in
tn work of collecting good books. This
interest has only materialized lately,
however, as for a while the interest
| in Carnegie Library was dormant.
Among the other good works which
have been purchased inshrdluetaao

was purchased by the board for the
