Beginning with today it will be up

The factory begins operations with

It is hoped ere long to have a much
large number OF persons employed.
Mr.. Dewitt expects to push his
goods and TO make the Dewitt brand
familiar one in this section OF the
state.
At first only two grades will be
made the best possible five and ten
cen1crs that can be produced. and
none but the choicest of material
and the best OF labor will go into the
goods After the goods have been
put on the home market other brands
will be introduced as fast as the
trade can handle them.
While not an experiment. the new
factory, small as is It's beginning. is
sure N grow and IL within year
eight or ten people are not working
II will surprise those who know.
Mr.. Dewitt is an experienced cigar
maker and will overlook no oppor

be one OF Ardmore's infant indus
tries that should be nourished, for
with the manufacture OF these cigars
will come the advertising of Ardmorc

WOODPECKERS ATTACK POLES
DO Great Damage to Telephone and
Telegraph Poles All over the
Country.

Washington. Aug. 10.-Considera.
Bile damage is being done to tele.
phone. telegraph and electric light
poles by members of the woodpeck.
cr family. These birds originally
built their homes in the dead or
dying trunks or limbs of trees. but
for some reason best known to
themselves. have come to the con.
ylusion that the peeled pole offers
better conditions for a home.
They have become so ravenous of
late that their depredations are at.
tracing considerable attention among
those who are compelled to use quan.
titles OF wooden poles. Their activ
tiles spread over "a wide portion of
the United States. notably in the
south, southwest and central west.
Cedar poles seem to be the ones
most frequently attacked. The birds
bore into them at any height from
the ground, and the holes which
they make are often two or three
inches in diameter and four or five
inches deep. Such an amount OF
wood drilled from a stick OF timber
which is carrying a load of wires
naturally weakens the strength OF
the line.
II would, Of course, not De a diT
iicult matter to exterminate these
birds. However. this is not desira
BILE, AS they are among the most ben
cficial forms of bird life native ia
this country because they destroy
large numbers of insects which Sc
riously damage forest and food crops
II seems, therefore. that methods
should be undertaken TO compel the
birds to revert to their former habit
of boring rather than to extcrmi
nate them.
Frequent inquiries have been mad
by the Forest Service in this con.
nection, but the only information
TO date which the government has
been able To obtain is that on a
casual Inspection of treated and un-
treated pole lines in Louisiana. In
that region it was found that poles
which had been imprcgantcd with
'rooSoie oil were not attacked by
lAe birds, whereas untroatcd poles

on the proposed bond issue for the
purpose Of building court house .

have been asked to express my
views through the press. which ]
now take pleasure in doing
When the bond issue was first pro
posed ! was Of the opinion that It
was saddling too much OF bur.
den upon the people OF Carter coun.
~ and especially the farmers. but
after fully investigating the propo-
sition find that 1t Is the on,y re.
lief we have from great burden
already resting upon our shoulders.
We will take first the court house
bonds These are the bonds so
strongly opposed by the farmers or
at least some OF them. They reason
from a preiudicial sentimental stand
point. and do not give notice To the
business side OF It. for the great
majority who oppose the issue Of
| Sl25.0OO for court house use for
real argument that Il is to build
an ornament to the city Of A-dmore.
| Now to the farmer who pays the
most taxes will have greater in
tcrcst In the ornament. that is 10
bo fircproof out and out and equip.
ped with frcproof vault for the

our records should be burned today
! IL would cost the people of this
| county at least twice the proposed
| cost of the fireproof court house to
/ replace them and the abstract com
panics of Ardmore would be the
bcncficiaries. And TO all who oppose
this court house proposition lay
aside your prejudice. consider it
from business viewpoint and re
paying on the two buildings we are
using for court house would
pay the interest on the Sl25.000. and
also the sinking fund, and in twenty.
five years We would own our own
court house and have IT paid for
with this rent money. And instead
of saddling a debt upon future gem
crations as some see ft TO put it,
We would bcqueath To them prop
osition both useful and ornamental
and one that We can point to with
pride And again. the three men
that We have elected as business
managers of our county nd whose
honor and integrity is unimpeached,
and likewise unimpeachable. say that
We need better roads ana more
bridges. They did not have this TO
say. for the most simple minded
is able To see this. and especially
those who travel over the roads os
this county They have opened up
a way whereby We can relieve the
situation and never realize any dis.
comfiturc from additional levies. At
least il will not equal our present
day blacksmith bills and venture
