Hans an Nix, Thursday night. 16.,
Thrashed Cotton,

Among the cotton receipts yester-
day were several bales OF thrashed
cotton, which the cotton buyers say
are hardly worth the bagglng and ties
which are on them. These bales
brought about two cents per pound.
Cotton buyers and others who should
be posted on this subject say that the
thrlshing of cotton is a useless waste
of the neecy staple as It practically
ruins it for manufacturing purposes,
and that if the cotton was left alone
the half open bolls would open of their
own accord. They advise the farmers
to let the cotton remain in the fields
until 1t opens.

The place was destroyed and Davis
who is the grandson of Jamison ar

There were several witnesses and 1t
was shown that Davis was in the hab-
1t Of getting drunk and creating a
disturbance at the Jamison house,
1t required an interpreter in the
case, but the guilt of Davis was clear
ly established. The jury did not as.
sess the punishment.

HENRY fuRMAN's DEMOCRACY
Says Leaders Should See That Cor

Says Leaders Should see That Cor
porations do not Write Constitution.
Judge Henry NJ. Furman Of Ada who
is in the city attending the January
term Of federal court is very hopeful
Of favorable statehood legislation and
in discussing the question OF what ac.
tion the democratic leaders should
take, said:
"The leaders Of tho Democratic
parry must see to 1t tn corporatioa
do not write the COZ .d,ion and
not permitted to dc'1o the nominee
of the party, but 'a the constitution
is written in the ir.csest of the entire
people and that all candidates shall
be nominated by the people and not
by a special few. The party should
protect and encourage useful and nee
essary corporations that are honestly
and legitimately conducted-but all
corporations should be required TO
keep out of politics and obey the
law II we expect the people to trust
us we must first trust them, and do
all IN our power to get all classes of
people to take a personal interest in
the discussion and settlement of pub.
lie questions and in the nomination
Of all candidates for office. This can
be best accomplished by following the
eXtmple set 1 nthe Southern states of
nominating all candidates from United
States senators down to constable in
primary elections. Scheming politi-
clans can deceive and tie up conven-
tions and boodlers can purchase dele
gates and members of the legislature
and defeat the peoples choice. But
this cannot be done in a promary cleo
tion. There are no dark horses then,
because dark practices are shut out.
The primary election plan will force
candidates to discuss public questions
before the people. Intriguing politi-
clans and boodlers will to man insist
upon the convention plan and oppose
primary elections. But the people will
punish all such tricksters with politi.
cal death. | know enough about pub
lie sentimen in Oklahoma and Indian
Territory to be certain that this will
happen. With few possible excep-
tions all of the better class of our
most prominent democrats favor the
primary election plan. The people
are practically a unit in demanding it.
They do not propose to be hugged with
one arm and stabhed with the other,
| will also say that our people should
be urged to support their party pa
pers. We will need them in the dis |
cussion of public questions and should |
remember that it takes paid up sub
scriptions to support newspapers. The |
better support We give our party pa
pers, the better they win become. |
Every Democrat should be urged to |
subscribe and pay for Democratic pa
pers"

GOODWIN TO SUE
FOR $4,000

Richard Goodwin is brave man.
No one ever doubted that. His
reputation is good and very fayorably
known. 1t is claimed for him that
he will even fight, though there may
he little foundation for such as as
sertion. but that he is really brave
L. established beyond the shadow Of
a doubt. and any one who says 70
the contrary knows not whereof he
speaks.
But even the best and bravest Of
men are sometimes subject to fright
Is was Mr.. Goodwin Monday after
noon. when the mailhole blew up as
lie passed over it. Being so sudden
and coming without warning it is
little wonder that Mr.. Goodwin
jumped higher than a kite scars,
when the lid so swiftly lifted.
AT the time it was not thought
that serious injury had been infict-
ed, though Mr.. Goodwin trcmbled
| like leaf for hours afterward and
cold shiyers ran down his spine at
every noise however slight. But
his recovery has been much slower
than was expected and considerable
alarm Is felt by his friends over his
condition.
1t is possible his nerves are COM
lpletely shattered and that he may
not be again possessed Of that BRAY
cry that made him the object of ad-
miration among men Of courage.
Owing TO the bad effects Of the in.
lcident. it is more than probable Mr.
Goodwin will institute damage suit
against the city. 1t is stated liz
claims he has been injured to th'
amount Of Just $4,000, his formel
bravery and nerve being conserva
lively placed at that stupendou
figure. and. without these qualities
life will be a burden to him, unles
proper recompense is quickly mad
by the city.
The courts may find considerable
difficulty in finding any specia
merit in his allegations and aver
ments, but they need take no eXtr
trouble to ascertain that the Incl
dent has had peculiar effects on hin
among which is a complete destruc
ton Of what in common parlance "
cali nerve.

make up history.
History has been prepared for
the use Of schools, and its aim Is to
lplace in the hands Of children, a
faithful non-seetarian and non-parti-
san history Of the world, in which
they will eventually have to dis
charge the duties of citizens or resi-
dents. This is another reason why
we should study history, as through
this study we win be better quail
fed to discharge these duties.
I've study history to become ac-
Iquainted with our country, before

at has grown into a proyerb,
nearly, that one should become ac-
quainted with his own country be-

eThere are many reasons why
girls should study history, a few Of
which have mentioned but imper-
fectly.
1T is clear, that girls are an i'm
portant factor, in the citizenship Of
this great country, in fact, they are
the most important agents, in the
great battle, for the better and high
er achievements of life.
History gives a wonderful view
of the past ages, where, we may
trace, step by stey, the advancement
of every department of knowledge.
"She who is best informed in re
gard to the past, makes the best aim
for the future, and the best aim,
faithfully persued, will give the best
results.
"No country can rise above its
womanhood. Womanhood rests up
on its girlhood. Girlhood is largely
measured by knowledge.
again, it is important that girls
should know how to act their part
in the great problems of their age
and country, as they have to suffer
the consequences of each failure.
"Who has suffered more than the
drink. A faithful and true record
of the misery and woe that follows
the saloon and bar, given to the
girls. of this age, to read and study,
would result in a demand for
sobriety.
