We Ii &c the serious cOnsidera
ton of the following letter by every
farmer who reads the Enterprise.
Atlmtl, Ga. Oct 10, 1907.
Mr.. Editor.
Sometime since / advised our
people that they had their hardest
fight of their lives on hand for the
price OF their cotton. Events have
since demon Stlate l how true this
was. The gamblers and officers
have fought us to the last and are
still fl citing and will continue.
The frosts of the past few days
have practically destroyed all bolls
in the Northern and probably mid
die belts, not full grown. Hence
when you consider the late cotton,
late from planting over, late be-
cause on low lands and late be-
cause of bad stands; for this makes
late cotton, you have two frosts
this morning and yesterday morn
ing, which have been more de
ctI1IotiUn than last yoor;S frost of
the 18th. Hence our farmers will
need every pound of cotton and it
bringing Is ceut<. Indeed it be
hooves our people of every 6usi
ness to see that the remainder of
this crop brings that, Or a better
price. Yours very truly,

During an interval of two hours il
alarms we're sounded, a number from
the residence districts, although the
actual damage resulting from the
early fires was confined wholly to the
business districts.
The fire fighters were largely vol
unteers who valiantly assisted the fire
department, The fire department is
small and was entirely Inadequate to
cope with the situation
-Four persons, supposedly tramps,
have been obserl ed in the vicinity of
Enid since yesterday afternoon. This
morning at 3 o'clock the same persons
we're observed by suburban residents
loafing about the town and making no
attempt to assist at the blazing build
ing or showing any interest whatever
in the disaster,
While no arrests have been mad it
is stated that If the four suspected
men are apprehended by the police
they will be arrested and held pend
ing an investigation.
The total loss is Yariously estimated
at from $4,000 to 100000.

Fire Bugs at Work,

started by unknown incendiaries at /

ent buildings of the town. At 8
O'Clock this morning the flames were
still raging, although at that hour it
is believed that the flames were under
control
First they were started in the
livery barn thirty horses we're burned
and the barn and all Of its contents
with the exceptions Of five buggies
we're consumed. The loss there was
$4,000.
During the progress Of this fire an
alarm was turned in from the Volun-
teers Of America church, block and
half from the livery barn. This
building was destroyed at a loss Of
$1,000.
The city hall which adjoins the
church, was also damaged, as was
also the Farmers Mill g. Elevator
Company's building.
A broomcorn warehouse, valued at
$4,000 is the ashes.

Almost a Blaze.

What might have proved dlsas-
trous fire was narrowly averted by T
G. Holland, the furniture man, this
morning at o'clock, when he discov-
cred fire in the store Of the Vinita
Hardware Co. Some one had thrown
cigar butt into box filed with saw
dust and it took fire during the night.
When Mr. Holland who lives above
the store smelled the smoke he made
a hasty investigation, and as soon as
he discovered the seat Of the trouble
he telephoned Mrs. Kleinfelter who
arrived a few minutes later and ex-
tinguis1ed The flames with a few
buckets Of water. Had the discovery
been made a few minutes later the
fire would have endangered the entire
block. The only damage done was a
hole three foot square burned In the
door.

The speech Of Mr. Duncan was es-
pecially well received, having explain

and meaning. He said it was derived
from Greek Indian word, and was
invented by the first Cherokee chief,
VIM. P. Ross and meant Okla-man-
homa-hood-manhood.
The word was given In 1851 as a
name for the gve civilized tribes, but
was later lost track of, until today t
was resurrected in the name for the
greatest state that ever entered the
Union.
The newly installed officials will
enter upon their duties at once, and
from the placid smile that adorned
each face it was clearly evident that
they were cognizant of the honors be-
slowed and the duties that confront
ed them. 1t was a jolly love feast in
which all participated and there was
a congeniality Throughout that in
