ANOTHER MESSAGE
SENT BY HASKELL

Guthrie, Okla, February 21-Gov-

fourteenth message to the special, ses-
sion of the legislature. He urged the
enactment of laws that would put an
end to campaign contributions from
liquor dealers and by gambling house
keepers.
The house today adopted resolution
for a thorough investigation of the
action of the state board of agricul-
ture in locating the five secondary agri-
cultural schools of the state and ask
ing a committee to report whether
there was any fraud in cir location
and if so, by whom, and for whose
benefit.
The investigation is sought as a Sc
uuel to the senate's action taken Sat-
urday in ordering the school at He

a result of newspaper charges intimat-
ing graft.

greatest crowd ever seen at a basketball
game will be on hand. Columbus shares
with Vanderbilt and Mobile the highest

champions until they give Vanderbilt a
chance either on the Nashville floor, or
some neutral ground
The Athletic club is going after those
coors, however, and with the large crowd
and the fine spirit in the team, the local
squad will give Columbus a fight to the
knife.
1t matters not how the game goes, the
people who witness it, will get their
moneys worth. The dance after the
game under the direction of the dancing
committee, will be an attractive feature
for the club members, and those who
have dance privilege cards.

the gulf in strong puffs that nearly
caused the biplane to turn turtle in cir

minutes, covering a course OF about 10
miles, flying in the path of the wind.
The flight was attended with great dan

as suddenly as had been his rise.

REV. JONES, PRESENTATION.

The Hon. Charles v: D. Jolme, judge
of the Court of Common Pleas of Cam
den county, N. j., contributed the fol-
lowing story to a number which had
been told at meeting of the Histori-
cal Society, relating to the confusion
Of ideas which sometimes resulted from
an effort Of the primitive mind to
grasp abstract ideas:
During war t1mes,'' said the judge,
"the city OF Trenton, where l then
lived, was red-hot abolition town,
and those who did not fight devoted
their time at home to patriotic decla-
nation.
Among the most violent of these

the wrongs of the black man, and the
negroes for miles around looked upon
the old abo!itionist as their potent sa-
viour, feelingly firmly convinced that
it was through his oratorical efforts
that the war had been begun and was
maintained.
~ monster mass meeting and
torchlight parade was planned in
honor of their champion, who was ap-
priscd of the movement and promised
10 review the proposed parade from
the rurch of his home.
THE evening of the celebration ar
rived, the brigade marched through
the, town and halted before the colo
nel's home. The Rev. Jefferson OBJ
dixie Jones had been coached in his
presentation speech by a then promi-
uent Trenton jurist, who was no
torious wag, and he proceeded with it
as follows:
".Colonel Howard, we am overcome

and finally retreated. but he never
