500, 900 of Panama bonds in 1905,

CHICKASHA'S CANDIDATE REFUT-
ES CHARGES MADE BY
PAULS VALLEY MAN
ALWAYS BEEN PRIMARY NAN
And Is Ready to Meet Mr. Weaver
On the Issues.

Hon. Reford Bond, Chickasha's
democratic candidate for congress,
gave out the following interview at
Oklahoma City yesterday, relative to
the charges made by Claude Weaver,
the Pauls Valley candidate, who
seeks to hold sar Bond responsible
for the calling Of a convention in the
Fifth district
Il regret that Mr. Weacer's anger
got the best Of his judgment in the
controversy following that call for
delegate nominating convention at
Hobart on June 25, 1907, which he
says was Illegal, unauthorized and
fraudulent. He gave letter which
he had written me to republican
newspaper and that action alone
stamped him as no true member Of
the party which he desires to repre-
sent.
He stated in the letter that the
! vote cast by the committee at Hobart.
which resulted in a call for a delegate
nominating convention was illegal as
w. /. Gilbert and J. D. Carmichael
were influenced by me in casting their
vote. That is far from true as both
gentlemen were there as uninstrueted
delegates and cast their votes as theT
saw fit. / am, and have always been,

each individual democrat should be
allowed to voice his choice, as can
only be done in a primary.
"rhis call for the committee meet
ing was issued by Mr.. Weaver's
friend, Moman Pruitt Of Pauls VAL
ley and his associate, Mr.. Hendricks,
and not at my solicitation or that Of
any other candidate, unless it was Mr..
Weaver. His insinuations as to the
personnel Of the committee are Ger
tainly unworthy Of a democrat.

NEVER SEE DETAILS
Why are Not Builders Required te
Take Out Permits.

Said a prominent citizen this NOR
ming I'VE hear Of lots Of building 60
ing on in chickasha but never see
any details in the papers about it,
why is it; it would seem ike public
mention Of such matters would help
push the city and would be Of interest
to everyone
The saiae question has doubtless
occurred to others. The fact Of the
matter is that only within certain
prescribed district in the business
part of the city are builders required
to take out permits. In other cities
every builder within the corporate
limits is required to get a permit be-
fore being allowed to build and it is
rather a tedious operation to find out
just who is builAing or where new
buildings are located. II a news
paper has an item about a new build
ing it is just by chance that it has
got hold Of it. What the city needs
is an ordinance requiring builders tc
secure a permit 50 that the public
could see whenever it wanted to just
who were building, where the new
building would be located and what
kind Of building it was going to be
It has been but a few weeks how
ever, since the Express published al
accurate list of new buildings Al
could be obtained at the time.

London, Jan. Civilian Whitley,
founder of the first department store
in London, was shot and killed by a
young man, who afterwards attempted
to commit suicide.
Whitley was leaving the store when
his assailant rushed up to him with a
revolver and fired several shots. The
merchant fell dead where he stood.
The assassin then emptied the revol-
yer into his own body, inflicting what
are believed to be mortal wounds.
The store was crowded with shop
pers at the time and panic followed
the tragedy.
At the hospital the murderer gave
the name of Cecil Whitley, and said
he is a son of the m "a man. Rela-
tives of Whitley wi ave seen the
assassin say they do not recognize
him. Several persons who overheard
Whitley and his visitor conversing de-
clare that there was no quarrel be-
tween them. The assassin appeared

George Primrose and his all stal
minstrel company, of bIackfaced art
lists, will hold high carnival at the
Gennett, next Wednesday, matinee
and night.
Mr.. Primrose himself, heads the or
ganiZation, and has taken particular
pains to surround himself with com
pany of comedians, singers, dancers
and musicians of the first order.
The second part of the entertain
ment will be a new departure in min
strelsy. Instead of vaudeville, there
will be introduced some very novel
ideas, depicting negro life in Dixie,
with song, dance and story. 1t opens
with a typical negro sketch, wherein
the pathetic as well as the humorous
side of darkey life is shown. Then
the scene changes to a field of snow
white cotton in bloom and bud, at sUn-
rise, with the plantation quarters and
a river, which winds lazily toward the
distant hills. AS the sun comes out,
a bell is heard in the distance, at the
sound of which the cottages are
seen to take on life and the folk song
of the darkey is heard in the distance.
tulS SCGuc NIL Will
introduce new soft shoe dance, in
which he will be assisted by his
''bunch" of Cotton Bios som Coons, a
rare novelty and revelation. In
the next scene. that of the village par
sonage on Sunday morning, the pic
ture shows a quaint old church and
cabins in the background, the corn
stacked in the field, and crop of
golden pumpkins on the ground with
the parsons cabin in the foreground.
AS the scene opens, a young darkey is
heard singing a pretty little South
ern melody. which awakens the par
son. who has been asleep on the porch,
and as the song dies away, the Grim
son slowly fades and the fading twi-
light slowly passes into night Just
as the moon breaks through cloud. a
merry wedding party is heard in the
distance. with all the help and field
hands from the big plantations Aft
err the ceremony the entire party joins
in song, dance and merrymaking to
the music of the banjo and the fiddle.
until the bell is again heard, at the
sound of which, all the festivities
cease. and. after the preachers bles-
sing, everyone departs.
The final number of the perform
ance is a magnificent spectacular
transformation entitled 1.-The Evolu-
ton of the Negro staged and pro-
duced by George Primrose. 1t is in
five pictures, opening with the Darkey
in the Moon, changing to an African
