INTERVIEWED.
Drsk. R. Thompson Explains in
\ Detail the beGefitS Of The
Sever System.

For the benefit of our readers, a
representative Of the ADVOCATE
called UPON DR.. w. II. Thompson,
a member Of our County Board of
Health and OF The Sewer Commits
sion and requested an interview re-
J. garding the System of Sanitary
Sewerage now being constructed
in our city. The Doctor very
obliginglv did so in the following
able and comprehensive manner:
',At last Mt. Sterling has awak-
ened to her responsibility in mat
ters pertaining to the health and
comfort of her citizens and those
living along the banks of Hinkston
4 Creek below the city. For years
the sewage of our city in a raw
state has emptied directly into this
stream, making.of it cess pool
and endangering the lives of all
those living along its course and
creating a nuisance almost nnbear-
able by reason of odors arising
from the fermentation. To put an
end to this condition of things the
citizens by an overwhelming ma
jority voted last fall, to build
Sanitary System of Sewerage for
the disposal of all sewage in the
lily. The work is now well under
way and is what is known as the
Septic Tank System, the most
improved type for cities of this
size or even much larger. In this
system all the sewage runs into
big concrete tank 100 feet long, 30
feet wide and 10 feet deep, divid-
J ed into two chambers where it is
allowed to settle, taking out the
solid matter and allowing the wat
er to pass on in practically an un-
polluted state. From time to time,
depending on the volume of sew
age entering the tank, quick lime
is dumped into the chamber in use
which prevents fermentation and
destroys all germ life. Typhoid
fever and all diseases producing
germs are killed by the chemical
action going on all the time within
the tank. This protects the lives
of those lower down the creek and
makes Tie water much more
wholesome than at present for
stock and other purposes. When
the solid matter has collected in
one of the chambers to given
depth the sewage is turned into
the other and this one cleaned out
ID the contents hauled off to be
FId as fertilizer, it having been
= rendered harmless so far as germ
life is concerned by the quick lime
and chemical action that has TAX
en- place and at the same time
made more valuable as a fertilizer.
The amount of solid water in sew
age in cities like ours is very small,
being only about 5 per cent. of
total, taking a long time for the
tank to fill to the point where it
will need cleaning.
The pitting in of this sewage
system solves for all time to come
the rroblem Of disposal of house
sewage, and does away entirely
with the old cess pool, its dangers
and inconviences, and keeps the
waters of our little creek from be-
Ing contaminated with filth and
disease breeding germs. 1t is a
big step in the right direction and

Eo-date and progressive csties."

JUSTICE or THE
PEACE DISTRICTS

Editor Express: --On page 455, SEES
sion laws Of 1907 and 1908, will be
found an act repeating the existing
law requiring two justices of the peace
in each township to sbe elected, and
requiring the county commissioners
at their regular session In July, 1910,
to divide the county into six justice
of the peace districts and plat Of
said districts to be kept in the office
Of the county clerk. At the general
election for the year 1910 and every
biennial election thereafter, there shall
be elected one justice Of the peace
and one constable for each district.
The election law required each can
didate to file their petition 30 days
before the primary. election in order
to get on the ticket. (See compiled
statutes Of Oklahoma, page 791, sec
tion 3279.) The primary election was
held August 2, SO there was not time
for candidates to file their petitions
.sc days before the primary for jus
atice Of the peace and constable in
these Justice Of the peace districts.
Now the name Of candidate for
justice Of the peace was on the demo
cratic ticket voted at the primary at
Tuttle. For the reasons given above
we contend that no candidates for
justice of the peace or constable un,
der the above law could be legally
printed on the ticket. None was on
the republican or socialist ticket, IT
being generally understood Gas we
are informed) BY the republican and
socialist parties that none could legal
ly be placed on the ticket, no candi-
dates filing to be placed on for that
reason. And others would have ap-
peared on the democratic ticket if it
had not been so generally understood
among democrats.
Now many Of us will object to said
candidates name being placed upon
the general election ticket for Novem-
ber. not for personal reasons, but that
il we have justice Of the peace he
be legally elected, SO that he can le-
galIy hold his Office and as matter
Of right and justice The county cleo
tion board will certainly consult the
county attorney or get the opinion Of
the attorney general before placing
the names Of these Justices Of the
peace, who slipped their issepes on the
primary ticket under the old law, upon
the general ticket to be voted in No
Yember, and thereby avoid litigation.

1000 REPUBLICANS FOR THE
AMENDMENT.

That one thousand white republi-
cans voted with The democrats oI
Muskogee county for the amendment
to disfranchise the ignorant negroes
is capable Of mathematical conclusion
in the light Of the official figures Of
last Tuesdays primary and special
election. The total vote cast for All
the democratic candidates for COVER
nor was S,272. A total Of 4,2SO votes
were cast for the amendment, or 4 ,O0S
surpIusage Of votes cast over the dem,
ocratic vote for the amendment can
only be accounted for In one way.
They were cast by white republicans
who desire to rid their party in this
county and state Of negro domination.
That this, conclusion is based on fact
Is further proven BY the vote on re-
publican state central committeeman.
Archie Jones, the negro. who has been
committeeman from this county for
two years was candidate for re-
election. He was opposed by w. r.

out-Toted the white republicans and re-
elected Jones'. Moifatt received 1915
votes practically the same number as
were cast by republicans for the
amendment. 1t Is therefore reasonably
sure that 1000 republicans voted
against the negro, and in favor Of
