Now, when we say that there are a
billion tons of gygsum in Oklahoma,
It does not convey mWch intelligence
The mind does not readily grasp such
large numbers. Perhaps II | should
illustrate it. it would be made easier.
"A gypsum mill, such as is found in
Oklahoma, can manufacture 100 tons
of gypsum into plaster in twenty-four
hours There are FIVE such mills in the
territory Multiply that number by 20

Antlers News: Some people object
TO the initiative and referendum be
cause the nercent is too low for hav-
ing law submitted 70 the people,
claiming that corporations could easily
master per cent OF the voters to
have II referred to the electorate and
thereby deprive the people from the
benefit of a good law for several
months. The fact that every corpora
ton man is opposed to the 5 per cent
clause and wants II 33A per ent is
the very reason why the constitutional
convention should adopt the 8 per cent
clause. The corporations want the per
centage of voters TO invoke the refer
endum TO be 1874 or even 40, SO as to
make it as hard as possible to have
some bad law which may be enacted
by a corporation owned legislature,
submitted to the people.

Governor Frantz, in his report to

hand, but the increase since that time
has been enormous. and it is largely
supplanting all other forms of wall
plaster
1t is difficult to estimate the eX-
act amount of gypsum in Oklahoma,
and when estimated the figures arc so
large that the mind fails TO grasp
their meaning.

To His Excelency, Jas. X. Vardaman, q,
nrnnr of MissiSaippi:

To His Exceency, Jas. X. Vardaman, Gov
ernor of Mississippi:
THE UNDERSIGNED petitioners most re-
spectfully present this petition for the par.
don of Aaron Field. convict who was con-
victed In the Circuit Court OF Holmes County, In
said state, at the May term thereof, A. b. 1900,
and was sentenced by said court to Il life term
In the state penitentiary and IN support Of said
petition show unto Your Excellency the follow.
ing;
That the said Aaron Field at the time OF his
trial claimed tUat the killing, out of which grew
the charge OF murder for which he was tried,
was accidental, and that many believe that to
be true.
That up to the time Of the killing for which he
stands convicted the said Aaron Field had been
a law-abiding, Woodworking and inoffensiye
negro.
That his conduct as a convict has at all times
since be began to serve his sentence been most
excellent and that by his good conduct he has
won the trust and confidence of the warden and
his guards, and ut no time has he given them
any trouble.
That on August 22 1906. the said Aaron Field
unassisted, did capture The Booker convict
No. 91s, who had escaped from the guards on
Belmont plantation. and returned him TO the
guards and that he also, with another negro
captured Oscar Green, convict No. 1850, who
had escaped from the guards on same planta.
ton and returned him to the guards and that
his conduct has continued good up to this date
For which reasons We respectfully ask Your
Exceeney to extend clemency and grant him
pardon.
Respectfully submitted.

Letter to r. Z. Wilburn,


Dear Sir: No man is in a position
to influence men with regard to their
property more than you in that little
room where they tell you thei,
troubles. Pity, if you don't know how
to keep house dry and sound, any
sort of structure, house store factory
warehouse shop barn fence any sort
of fence, except rail; with paint.
What paintf The paint that takes
least gallons; for paint costs money,
and putting it on costs twice as much
as the paint.
That is short; but that's all; it in
cludes the rest One paint wears long,
another wears short but the one that
wears long is the least gallons paint
least gallons means pure and strong,
and most-gallons means adulterated
and weak, besides small gallons.
Paint is one of the biggest interests
in the United States; not the business
of making it; no, the business of
paint, taking care of property. Paint
is worth great deal more than 1t
costs, and the best costs last Deyoe.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEVOE & co.

j. E. McRae, OF Acona, is new
Richmond in the field" for legisla-
tive honors, as will be seen by a glance
at our announcement column. His
name has been freely mentioned and
mis- qualifications discussed throughout
the county for some time, the uni
versal opinion expressed is that he
would make No. / legislator. Raised
on farm near to Natures heart"
he has developed those sturdy char
acteristics 0f honesty, independence
and individuality, of which our states
men are made, Peruse History's hoary
page, from Cincinnatus down, or from
the very dawn of human record, and
you will find that the great men of
every country. of every clime-were
raised on a farm. The farmers still
preponderate and always will over all
other classes, and should have repre-
sentation in the law making bodies
commensurate to their numbers. Mr..
McRae was horn on farm, raised on
farm, and still follows the same and
most honorable and valuable occupa-
tion known to mankind-that of max.
ing two blades of grass grow where one
grew before. His forty three years
sojourn on this mundane sphere-in
Holmes county-has thoroughly fami-
liarized him with the needs and wants
of the common people. Bryan aptly
remarked once that God loved the
common people because he made so
many of them. They are the most
numerous and in times of peace as
well as war they are the ones that ac-
complish the deeds that illuminate the
annals of history. In times past they
have been too much engrossed in attend
ing to their ordinary avocations and
making an honest and honorable living
to dabbie into so-called poll
tics with the result that the
law making machinery has been
appropriated and operated by self-seek-
ing and grating Shylocks, to the de-
triment of the country at large There
is at present healthy tendency to
wrest the reins of government from
the lacquered minions of Mammon
and place them in the hands where
they properly belong of the common
people. We hope to see more farmers,
more workers in life's Vineyard, in
the next Mississippi legislature than
ever before. Mr. McRae is truly q
representative of the highets type of the
Mississippi farmer-which means the
best in the world-calm, conservative,
practical and just, without fear or fa-
vor and the blandished, oily -tongued
lobbyist would never make an impress
sion on him.
