ed, this leaves 60 counties yet to

it will be seen that Craig is in
the lead, but when onle one-third
of the counties in the State have

reason to suspect that he will re-

A GREAT stir is being created
in the papers because a few
people in New York last week
invited to a dinner a number OF
negroes and the trend of discus.
sion at said dinner was that there
should be no social differences be-
tween the whites and negroes.
When the mostiprominent white
men at that dinner are found to
be men who are assisting greatly
in the much-talked-of Ogden
Movement, it can be readily ex-
planned. It was only intended
to create feeling in the South;
and there it little use to say that
it will have the desired effect.

The charges against Solicitor
Brooks for taking more fees that
the law allows should, in justic to
allparties concerned, besettled by
the courts so that the public may
know the full extent Of the
affair. No one we have heard
talk believes that Mr.. Brooks
took what did not belong to him
with dishonest intentions, but
inasmuch as he agrees that he
was doing no more than all such
court officers were doing, there
are many that think there was
some careiessness somewhere,
and when the court settles this
matter he and other solicitors in
the state will be indicated.

Last Friday night at the court

in plain terms said that the
solicitor had lied. =
| The occasion was one in which
Mr.. Brooks was defending him.
self in charges relative to fees
he had collected as solicitor,
about which there has been
much said by Mr.. Umstead and
other friends of Mr.. j. Allen
Holt, ::and when Mr.. Umstead
had heard Mr.. Brooks partly
through his speech he arose and
asked permission to say a word.
He said:
"Mr. Brooks, I want to name
one man, you the second and the
two third who will go tonight
to the clerks Office, look over the
minute docket, print the record
in The Herald in the morning
and show that you have lied to-
night"
The crowd insisted that Mr..
Umstead sit down, which did,
and Mr.. Brooks proceeded with
his speech. This was the only
interruption of the evening and
Mr.. Brooks defended himself as
might have been expected from
a man of his ability.

Washington. Dec. Friends of
Speaker Cannon profess to be highly
pleased with the responses to letters
which Representative James r. Mann
of Chicago has been sending TO the
members, announcing that the Illinois
delegation will present the name of
Joseph @. Cannon for speaker of the
Sixty-first congress. They state that
these answers assure the reelection
of the speaker.
Representative Mann today admit.
ted that he ha1 received unequivocal
answers from more than a majority Of
the republicans of the house saying
that they would support Mr.. Cannon,
This number has not yet reached a
majority OF the house. Mr.. Mann ex
planned that number, principally
new members, had written that they
desired 10 look over the situation and
investigate the subject more thor
oughly before replying in a way that
might be considered a pledge. II Is
sail that only one member of the
house has replied that he will oppose
the reelection Of Mr.. Cannon as
speaker.
Attention is gradually shifting from
the speakership to the proposal tC
amend the rules of the house. There
are indications that the speaker may
not offer much opposition TO some
amendments AZ least.

Cd OF FIGHTING BOIL WEEVIL.

The campaign for diversification is
bearing fruit The work Of urging
farmers TO plant peanuts was begun
last spring by the Weekly Ardmore-
Ite. Hundreds Of letters from farmers
who are growing this crop In Texas
were published, together with tn
best methods OF planting, cultivation
and gathering Some small crops
were planted last year. Tho farmers
were feeling their way. Those who
planted last year found the crop to
pay better than cotton. The nuts arc
ready sale and the vines make very
fine feed. The nuts left In the ground
make fine pasture for hogs. At this
tlmo # seems that the most sensible
method Of fighting the boil woevil
is TO fight them by raising some
thing that they do not eat. They
will shortly run their course as they
have done I'm Texas and then this
will again be fine cotton country.
Untn then It cannot produce much
cotton. no matter how fertile the soil
IS.
T.. B. Booker. colored farmer
living ono-half mile north Of the
Chickasaw Lake, has notified the
Ardmore that he will plant ten
acres In peanuts this year. Ten
chances 90 one are that Booker
will realize as much clear money

will from twenty acres I'm cotton.

MAR SOEN.

Marsden, Okla, Nov. 3O.-It has
been some time since we gave your
valued paper the local news. when We
last wrote we had hopes of something
like a half crop of cotton. but IL has
been cut short OF that. The gin here
has ginned but 290 bales to date and
the crop is nearly gathered. From
what we hear, it is better here than
other sections of the county. This
makes three short cotton crops IN as
many years, each one being shorter
than the one before IT, and as our peo-
pie depend so largely on cotton. the
effect is readily felt Especially is it
so this fall when with the shortest of
short crops the price is low. But ii
seems our farmers should not be
daunted. With a soil and climate ad-
apted as ours is TO such variety OF
, crops, IL is an easy matter to raise
crops that will pay better than cotton
even II we could make crops of 1t like
we formerly did.
