Local Matter.

As far as officials OF the Woodman OF the
World know at present that order will not

Congress-, from which the Modern Woodman
OF America has lust withdrawn. alleging
as q reason that the congress proposed to

higher,
John Thomas Yates, head clerk of the
Woodman of the World. said:
The trouble OF the Modern Woodmen
with the National Fraternal Congress is a
fight between the order and congress and
does not concern other orders In the least.
Personally, l would not like TO mix in the
affair in any way. Reference to the pro
csedings Of the national congress at Buffalo
In August. 1907. would tell the story Of why
the Modern Woodmer has given notice OF
It's intending OF Withdrawing from the ma
tional congress.
" don't know Of any conspiracy on the
part Of the congress to secure laws In the
various states which would make fraternaI
Insurance rates almost as high as old line
rates.
This much. I am quite sure Of: The
Woodmep Of the World is not going tc
Withdraw from the National Fraternal Con.
Eress simply because the rational organiza.

The cement market remains firm in this
section Of the country, and while there are
no heavy orders the demand is quite heavy
and in comparison with the orders on other
classes of building material, cement is
more than holding ito own. The demand
compares favorable with that of other
years. While the railroads and city are
not usiDg cement in as large quantities as
former years, there Is a steady demand
from other sources, which brings up the
totals. The prices are low, but firm, re-
naming at about $50. wholesale.

Terra Gotta is a good thing with which
TO build houses on terra firma,'' said a
local carpenter.\ who is given to epigram-
NAUTICAL speech. There are very few homes
in this part of the country, however, that
are built of tile or terra Gotta. Man seems
to fancy that he must have some solid
substance with which to build the walls
of a solid house. AS a matter OF fact the
hollow tile wall is quite as strong, less ex-
pensive and lees p%ervlous to heat or cold
than a house of any other material.
Throughout the country people are coming
to realize this and man. of the latest
houses which follow the European villa
style are being construed of terra Gotta.
The outside Is then finished in cement or
stucco and can be half timbered for archi-
tectural effect"

Serious Charges Against Judge Adams.

Much attention is given Ito. 1.-The
charges rejecting upon the official
character of judge. Spencer B.
Adams, said charges being bribery
of the judges of the Choctaw-
Chickasaw citizenship court by at
torneys interested in the court pro-
ceedings. Judge W, P. Bynum
makes the following statement in
refutation of the charges:
II have examined the record
and testimony in the which the
fees of the attorneys, in question
we're fixed by the court. By act
Of Congress, the Choctaw-Chicka-
saw Citizenship Court was requir-
ed to fx..the compensation of the
attorneys for the Indians. Those
attorneys had written contracts
with the Indians by which they
were to receive 8 per cent of the
amount recovered, which would
have given them 1926, 800.
(The attorneys received $3.50, ,OOO.)
Before fixing the compensation,
the court heard much testimony,
examining number of influential
and prominent attorneys, among
them Chief Justice Joseph H.
Hill, of Arkansas, a native of
Charlotte. all of whom testified
that the attorneys we're entitled
to much more than they received.
J. Henry Sheppard, believed to
be among those instigating the
charges, testified that the at
torneys were entitled to receive
100000. His evidence is on
file at the Department of Justice
at Washington. and I have read a
copy of it.
"Upon the evidence before the
court, I do not see how it can be
claimed that the compensation
allowed the attorneys was excess
sive. The court fixed the com.
pensation at a figure much lower
than anybody testified it ought to
be and about one-half of what the
attorneys were entitled to receive
under their written contracts"
