The filing Of land suits in the fed
eral court has had the effect Of making
all titles on the Indian Territory side
of the state questionable and has
served to keep many investors out Of
this state. Such doubts ought not to
exist. There are thousands of farms
here for sale where the title is as
good as in any portion Of the world
Southern Oklahoma needs to have
these lands purchased and put in a
state Of cultivation Farmers in other
states need the lands, they should
know that titles are good in Oklahoma,
they should know something Of the
lands and something Of the products
that grow here.
In order to give the farmer IN other
states an idea Of what lands with good
.itles are offered fo' sale here The
Ardmoreite for the next ninety days
will make a special price to all per-
sons in Carter county and adjoining
counties who desire to give descrip-

size to chastise her and his two chill

Hines came into the house August
IA. his wife says, opened the family
Bible and read the verse from Ephes-

parently gratiiied at the result, the
performance wos continued the next
day while he continued to quote pas

out to his family that he was the head

1894, in Meade county, Kansas. But

WASTE AT WASHINGTON.
Enormous Expenditure Of the Gov
ernment Shown by Comparison.

National expenditures for the en-
suing year made and authorized by
congress amounted to 81 ,0S9Si7 ,1S4-
considerably more than a thousand
millions, let us see what that fact
means.
II means that we are spending
every year nearly / per cent OF our
entire national wealth-sl20,0O 900, 0,0OO,
000 or nearly one-half of the ma
tional wealth of Switzerland-$2, AGO.,
100000; or of Portugal-$2, 500 900
O00 or more than one-fifLh of the
national wealth of the thrifty Meth
erlands-$5, 900, 100000.
2. 1t means that we are spending
every year more than the entire as
sessed valuation, real and personal
OF most OF the states in the unior
in only fourteen of which is ther'
property in excess of thousand
millions.
3. 1t means that We are spending
every year almost as much money
as all the farms, city lots and build
ings in so great and rich a state
as Indiana are worth for taxation
S1,110, ,391 ,659.
4. 1t means that we are spending
in one year one-third of the entire
output OF all our gold mines in 12O
years, s3,O63, $4,000.
5. 1t means that we spend every
year more than the entire capital o.
all the national banks in the United
States-s919,1 ,143, ,S25-and nearly one
third of all our savings bank de.
posits-s3, ,713, ,iO5, ,7O9.
6. 1t means that we spend in one
year one.third of the value of our
foreign commerce-$3, ,055, ,115, ,13S.
Z. it means that we spend each
year our entire corn CROP, ,6SS, ,651,-
900 bushels, and that our wheat crop
for a single year-66i 602, 900 bush
els-would be sufficient to run the
government only six months
s. 1t means that. including Sun
days and holidays, there is spent
at Washington every day in the
year the enormous sum OF $3,567,.
6S5.66.
9. 1t means that for every man,
woman and child in the country we
spend each year $11.
10. 1t means that for every family
in the United States the yearly
expenditure at Washington is $50.
If the waste at Washington is
S3O0,OO0,000 a year, as Senator Al
drich has intimated, every American
family suffers by this profligacy to
the extent of s16.66 every twelve
month.
This is enough TO buy a suit of
clothes. 1t will buy an oyercoat or {,
cloak. 1t will buy a good dress. 1t
will furnish room. 1t will buy
nearly three tons of anthracite coal.
1t will buy two or three barrels of
flour or over 300 loaves of short
weight bread
The cost OF one battleship-sl2.OO 900
600 to s1SOOO,OO0, needless and an
incentive only to jingoism and war

tablish and support dozen fine hos

Two White Men Shot.

Marion, Oct. 1.-Two white men,
Aleck Watson and Lee McIlvain, were
shot this morning near Nebo, 20 miles
south of Marion, by Beady Ammons.
Watson is said to be fatally hurt and
McIlvain seriously. The news was
brought to Marion by an old negro
man, who claims to have been an eye
witness. According to this man, three
men were riding in a. buggy following
close behind. When opposite Am
mons's home, Ammons came out with
a shotgun and fired without warning,
with the result stated above. All the
parties connected with the shooting
are we'll known in Marion. The cause
of the shooting is not definitely
known.

Corn Fair in Orangeburg.

We acknowledge with thanks an
invitation from Secretary ]. P. Ma
theny, of the Orangeburg chamber OF
commerce, to attend the corn fair to
be given in that city next Wednesday,
the 10Th. The chamber of of COM
merce, cooperating with the boys
corn club of that county, is manag-
ing the fair, and prizes will be given
for the best exhibit Of corn. The
farmers of Bamberg and other adjoin-
ing counties are invited to compete
for the prizes, of which there are a
number, the business men of Orange
burg having responded literally in
the matter of offering prizes for the
best corn, while the chamber of COM
merce offers ten dollars in gold for
the best exhibit. 1t is important that
an impetus be given to corn growing
in this section, and the corn fair is a
capital idea. We trust that there
will be exhibits from this county.
Write Mr.. Matheny for further in
formation.

Another Correspondent.

Recognizing the growth of Ehr-

friends in that section the benefit OF
the services of two wide-awake men,
we have engaged Mr.. Walter S.
Eaves as agent and correspondent at
Ehrhardt. We have had the benefit
for two years or more of the services
of Mr.. Jacb Ehrhardt as agent and
correspondent, and the appoint
ment of Mr.. Eaves will in no way
conflict with Mr.. Ehrhadt's good
work, which he will continue. Mr..
Eaves will look after the collection of
subscriptions, new subscribers, job
work, and advertisements, he being
able to give some personal attention
to this feature. Mr.. Ehrhardt will
continue to act as correspondent and
agent, and if you want to subscribe to
The Herald, pay your subscription, or
send us any job work or advertising,
call on either of these gentlemen and
they will be glad to serve you. So
hereafter our readers can look for
two news letters from Ehrhardt every
week, and as each writer treats news
in his own way, there will be no repe-
titions in their letters. We trust our
patrons in that f1ourishing communi-
ty will appreciate our efforts in their
behalf, and give us larger business
than ever before. This we feel sure
they will do, for in no section of the
county has The Herald more loyal
friends and supporters.

Negro Shot.

Last Saturday night Deputy Sheriff
T. J. Rentz and Chief of Police S. A.
Hand went just outside of town, near
Mr.. G. Frank Bamberg's place, and
arrested a crowd of negroes who
were gambling. During the arrests,
negro named Boisie Pinckney was
shot, but who shot him nobody
knows. The negro was outside Of
the house at the time, and he sayS
that Mr.. Rentz shot him, but MIR.
Rentz and Chief Hand both say that
he did not. We interviewed Chief
Hand, and he stated that when the
two shots were fired, Mr.. Rentz and
himself were both inside the house,
and that Mr.. Rentz had charge of
three negroes while he was making
others come down out of the loft.
That the door was shut, and soon
after the shots were fred Pinckney
came to the door and asked to be let
in, saying he was shot. The negro
says he was walking up to the house
when he was shot by Mr.. Rentz, who
was standing outside the house at
the time, and that there was another
negro with him, and the second shot
was fired at this negro, but he was
not hit and got away.
The bullet took effect in his breast
just at his throat, and he is getting
along very well. 1t was at first
thought he was fatally wounded, but
he is likely to get over it.
Seven negroes were arrested and
brought to Jail. They were tried
Monday before Magistrate H. D. Free
and given $40 or thirty days on the
chain gang. All paid up. Those
arrested were: Mike Guess, Peter
Simmons, Joe Nelson, Nathan Salley,
John Moore, Friday Wright, and El-
liott Williams.
Chief Hand states that there were
several negroes outside the house,
and he is satisfied the shot which hit
Pinckney was fired by one of the ne
groes on the outside and was intend
ed for either himself or Mr.. Rentz.
That the shooter wanted to hit an
officer.

Walter Sandifer Pardoned.

Last week the State board of par
dons heard the petition of Walter E.
Sandifer for a pardon. The board
recommended that a pardon be grant
ed, and Governor Ansel issued a full
pardon in the case. The report of
the board is as follows:
"Walter E. Sandifer was charged
with arson and tried in Bamberg
county in 1902 (or 1909 as appears
from the report. He was found gull
ty and sentenced to Imprisonment in
the penitentiary at hard labor for
fifteen years. The petition for his
pardon was filed the Goth Of August
1910. The solicitor who tried this
case recommends that a pardon be
granted and this recommendation Is
sbased largely on account of the
youth of the prisoner at the time the
crime was committed, and his gross
illiteracy. He further adds that 1t
appeared from the testimony that the
store was entered for the purpose OF
robbery and not arson, the latter be-
ing rather accidental. DR.. j. E..
Black, whose store was at the time
robbed, also expressed the same
opinion.
"Judge Gage, who tried the case,
recommends the pardon and urges it
upon the ground that the prisoner
has recently suffered serious acci-
dent whereby he has lost one foot.
The prisoner has been serving his
sentence for the past six years or
more at Clemson Cilege, and the pc
tition for pardon comes largely rec
commended by persons Of the neigh
borhood in which the prisoner lived
and by the officials at Clemson Col
lege.
"Under all these circumstances the
board regards this case as one wor-
thy of Executive clemency, and
would therefore respectfully recon-
mend that an unconditional pardon
be granted the prisoner"

Ankle Broken.

Mr.. J. w. Barnes, of the Cope Sec
ton, had his left ankle broken yester-
day morning by a fall from buggy.
Mr.. J. J. Smoak, of this city, went
over to trade horses with Mr.. Barnes,
and while they were driving one OF
the horses at rather a rapid pace, one
of the wheels of the buggy came off,
throwing both men out Of the buggy,
Mr.. Smoak falling on Mr.. Barnes.
The injury while painful is not con-
sidered serious, and no doubt Mr..
Barnes will soon be up and around
again. Mr.. Smoak was not hurt by
the fall.

CHILD IS MANGLED.
Leila Baker, Aged Twelve, Has Very
Narrow Escape From Death.

Lancaster, Oct. 11.-Leila Baker
about IL years old, daughter of Geo.
w. Baker, of Antioch, met with \
had accident yesterday at her fathers
gin. She had been standing in front
of the gin watching hand cleaning
off the saws and in turning to leave
the skirt of her dress was caught on
the saws which caused her to be
thrown violently on the sharp teeth,
which cut two ugly gashes in her leg.
Fortunately Mr.. Baker had just cut
off the power from the engine, other
wise the child would no doubt have
been horribly mangled and killed.
