SOUTHERN EMIGRANTS

OF late considerable interest has
been aroused by the study of the
figures which tell of the vast num-
bers of Southern-born white men
who have left their states during
the last forty years in order to set
tie elsewhere. With the arousing
of the public sentiment of the
South on the subject of immigra-
ton there has come renewed IN
terest in the question of what has
become of our own sons and
daughters W no have left the South
without adequate reason. 1t seems
that since the Civil War over two
and one-half million natives of the
Southern States have gone else
where to live. The retention OF
these emigrants would have meant
that the Southern States would
not have lost some two and one
half billions of dollars, valulng
each emigrant at $1,000. Ten
thousand dollars would more near
ly represent the value of an ordi-
nary Iaborer to his state. In this
connection it is interesting to no.
tice that only five Southern States
can boast Of having received more
immigrants than they have fur
nished emigrants. The balance
in favor of these being: for West
Virginia. some $4,000 for Texas,
some 100000; for Florida. some
125, 900, and for Arkansas, some
$4,000, One-fourtbs of the Nir-
ginia-born were living outside OF
Virginia at the last census, and
practically the same figures would
hold for Tennessee. This gives
an idea Of the tremendous NUM-
Der of men and dollars which the
Southern States have lost during
the process of the population OF
the West, and the prospect oil
bringing the immigrant movement
to a successful elimination under
these conditions would We very
slight, indeed, were it not for the
fact that the wave of population
which has been steadily moving
westward, has now reached The
Pacific slope aud is now doubling
back towards the East. The nexI
forty years will show a steady de-
crease in the number of exile'
from Dixie, and the marvellous de-
velopment of Southern resources
during late years will accentuatt
it. While cotton was selling a
tive cents a pound, no wonder th'
poor tenant of the North Carolint
hillside preferred the far West
but with cotton at ten and fifteel
cents it will not be long befor'
some of them will be singing:
Use gwine back to Dixie,
No more Use gwine to wander.

1t was reported here Monday

four white men, three of the ne

CHICAGO FIRM ABOUT TO SUE
The SCHOOL BOARD FOR AN
OLD DEBT
BILL FOR SCHOOL FURNITURE
Has Never Been Paid Board Appeals
to the Council

II the city council doesn't come to
the rescue, the Chickasha school
board is going to be sued and the
gentlemen who compose this honorable
body are not enjoying the prospects
for sucn a calamity. A meeting Of
the board was held yesterday and a
committee was appointed to appear
before the city dads and ask for
assistance.
It came about in this way: 1t will
be recalled by those who are familiar
with the history Of school affairs dur
ing the past few years, that when the
new buildings were completed and
furnished a few years ago, it was
found that the cost had exceeded the
estimates and consequently bill for
about S2500 worth OF school furniture
remained unpaid for. No funds were
available for paying the bill at the
time and two warrants were issued for
it. The warrants were issued 10 A.
H. Andrews & Co., of Chicago, from
whom the furniture was purchased.
This firm has carried the warrants fol
over three years and the account has
grown by the accumulation Of interest
till it is now nearly $4,000.
Andrews & Co. have grown impa
tient frim time to time and have mad,
frequent demands upon the board fol
their money. They expected the war
rants to be paid within a year bu-
the board succeeded in standing
them off" till week or more ag'
when the account was placed in tn
hands Of local bank for collection
with Instructions to proceed at ono
to sue if it was not paid and that !
the situation now.
The present board had nothing t
DO with contracting the indebtedness
and it has no funds to pay it of. Tn
school board has no funds except sue
as are set aside for it's use by the cit
council and the appropriations ar
, never more than sufficient to pay tn
running expenses Of the school.
has no other recourse, therefore, tina
to appeal to the council to take car

THE CITIZENS ARE UP IN ARMS

Petitions to the Commissioners

Citizens of the Line House neigh
borhood west Of town are preparing
to take active steps to prevent the
saloons from being licensed again.
Since the Anadarko papers refused
to publish notice of application for
license, the saloon people have had
their notices published in Cement and
Apache papers and have also posted
notices in the county. On the strength
Of this they will apply to the county
commissioners for license and viii
be heard on Jan. 20. They claim six
ty-one signers on their petition.
The people in the neighborhood are
up in arms against the re-opening Of
the saloons. They expect to publish
the names Of all signers on the PEI
tition and they are getting up re-
naonstrance against the granting Of
license. They will also receive Pc
titions from the people Of Chickasha
asking the Caddo commissioners TO
refuse the license.
These line house saloons are recog
nized as common nuisances and ever!
effort will be made to prevent then

RESULTS COME SLOWLY
Army has Few Attractions for Young
Men in This Vicinity

w. E. Waite, recruiting officer for
the y. S. army, who opened an office
here in the Johnson building Monday,
has not had to work overtime to take
care of his business. Up to this
morning, only two inquiries had been
made by prospective soldiers. Army
life seems to present little attrac.
tion for the young men in this VI
cinity. 1t is perhaps due to the fact
that there is such a demand for la
Dor in all lines here.
Uncle Sam now has $4,000 soldier
boys and the terms of many of them
will soon expire, hence the recruit
ing. Mr. Waite states that the Office
viii be maintained here just as long
as the recruits come. He expects more
applicants to come as soon as the
fact that an Office has been established
here becomes well known.
