The Division into Counties.
In East Jersey, Essex county, on
account of its proximity to Manhattan
Island New York; was first formed
in 1876 and it's boundaries were de-
finitely settled in 1903, comprising the
territory then known as Elizabeth
town and Newark. This county had
the largest population.
Monmouth county was established
in 1875, but its boundaries we're not
definitely settled upon till 1903. 1t
was sixty-five miles long, and thirty
two miles wide, when first laid out. 1t
was originally settled by Dutch, Scotch
and some New England emigrants
who removed here in 1864. 1t had
more ocean frontage for one hundro
and fifty years than all the other coun-
ties in the State.
Middlesex county was first formed
in 1852, since which time 1t has been
much reduced in size by division into
other counties. 1t originally reached
from Staten Island sound and Raritan
bay to Cranbury and Princeton.
Somerset county was divided from

The act of congress generally
known as the Restrictions Re-
moval Bill and which goes into
effect next Monday morning
opens the way for the sale and
purchase by homebuilders of
more than eight millions acres
of the fines, agricultural land in
the world. That portion Of this
state known as the Indian terri
tory, the lands owned by the
five Indian tribes is not surpass-
ed on the habitable globe.
Thousands of homeseekers
have hitherto passed through
this portion Of the state being
afraid to purchase these lands,
there being a widespread and
general distrust of what are
known as Indian titles.
Tho restrictions bill that was
signed by the president to go
into effect July q will have the
effect to forever settle the the
question of doubt and to quiet
the title to this vast domain Of
rich agricultural land.
The intending purchaser may
now fell secure in having the
best possible title to his home
when he buys these lands.

he comes from a state that does not
grow democrats indgenously, and that
esae has carried It time and again
proves his great strength.
His chautaulua subject is the
sMalesty OF the law" and he proves

his short speech was literary treat.
He was driven from the 1907 train
directly to the chautauqua tent and
was introduced by Seymour Riddle,

lsubject.
The governors address was not a
partisan one but he could not refrain
from preaching some good democratic
doctrine He declared the strongest

patriotism. II Johnson ever comes

audience that no building In town

OF VlnIta "Mistah Jones" by name,
refused TO get into James Grow car
at the line Friday morning on the ;
o'clock a. m. south bound passenger
train. At Welch the conductor sent
for Mr. Ogier and telegram was sent
to Vinlta for deputy sheriff to meet
the train at the depot and take
charge of "Mistahn Jones, which
was done. Later he was taken
before the Judge where he was as
sessed the minimum fine. s25, for
the privilege Of riding % miles with
white folks in Jim Grow state. This
is the first time since the first day Of
the Jim Grow law enforcement that
there has been any trouble on this

find out how far he could have rode In

SELL OR NOT SELL
SCHOOL LANDS
Oklahoma is Confronted by a $780,
100000 Proposition.

Guthrie, Okla. July, 21- Aside
from the national campaign, the
overshadowing issue in the Okla.
homa election next fall will be
the question Of selling school
lands. Upon the ballots win be
submitted the question; Shall
the school lands Of Oklahoma be
sold according to- the terms OF
the Murray bill? Yes or No.
This is an issue that is vital to
every voter in the state, for 1t
means the disposal of an area
valued at something over
$50, ,00G, 900.
Already a statewide move.
ment has been starred to defeat
the bill at the polls by a number
OF the representative citizens of
Western Oklahoma, headed by
George Whitehurst Of Sayre,
who was Democratic caucus lead
er in the lower mousse OF the last
Legislature. A meeting has been
called for Oklahoma City, on
August IS, to organize the move
ment.
The opponents of the sale of
the school lands claim that most
Of the voters on the East side of
the state will vote against che
Murray bin which is to be sub
mitted to a referendum vote.
They claim that attempts to dis.
Ipose OF the rs, 900, 900 cash fund
donated to the state BY congress
have proven the wisdom Of their
contention that the school wealth
should remain inslands and not
be converted into money.
The intention was to loan a
large part Of the S5.000,00 to
farmers on farm securities.
About 81, 900. 600 Of the fund has
been disposed Of in this way, but
BIT is only drop in the bucket
compared with the demand for
5 per cent interest. Only a few
farmers IN each county have sue.
ceeded in getting these loans
while others are compelled TO
pay s and 10 per cent to the loan
companies.
Opponents Of creating a big
cash fund also claim that the
loan companies are now borrow
ing school money deposited by
the state in various banks on
which the state is realizing but
4 per cent, thus defeating the
very purpose Of the farm loan
department Of the state. Ii is
also urged that the expense Of
employing appraisers, lawyers to
to pass upon titles, and clerks to
attend To the business Of loanin0
the money to the farmers. eats
up a goodly portion Of the inter.
est received BY the state upon
the school money thus loaned.
The friends of the Murray bin
are depending on the influence
Of the school landlessees to carry
the bill They claim that the
system Of tenantry IN the state
must be stopped.
