ARDMORE AND
CARTER COUNTY

Carter, of the many counties COM
prising the new state Of Oklahoma
was named in honor of Hon. Benjamin
Wisner Carter late father of Hon,
Charles ID. Carter, congressman.
Carter is one of the most productive
counties in the state, possessing all
the advantages needed or desired.
This county has a population of
over 25,000 inhabitants, including
white, black male and female and has
an area of about fifty miles long and
about half the same wide. Ardmore Is
the county seat and several other
towns are to be found within its bor-
ders that are thrifty and wide-awake
for instance, Mannsville, DurwOod,
Provence, Berwyn, Overlook, Spring
er, Lone Grove and several others.
Roads are in fine condition, having
been partly constructed by convict
labor. Steel bridges span every I'M
portant stream. Timber OF various
kinds abound, such as pecan, oak, elm,
cottonwood, ash, some walnut and
other kinds that are plentiful, but too
tedious to mention. Vast oil fields
are being developed, mineral in vast
quantities and asphalt Of the best quail
ity in unlimited supplies.
The soil varies from black to sandy,
In fact nature has given Carter coun-
ty the best she had In store and
mother earth responds readily to The
wants of the man with the hoe"
Agriculture is one of the chief oc-
cupations ami farmers of Carter coun- /.
ty are beginning to learn the lesson
of diyersification and the zone crop
idea is something of the past.
Corn, wheat, oats, cotton, broom I
corn, kaffir corn and pea nuts yield .
bountifully and are well adapted TO the .
soil and conditions of Carter county.
Alfalfa Is considered one of the best
forage or hay crops, being known TO
yield three crops per season
Horticulture Is also fast becoming
one of the leading industries. There
were numbers OF car loads Of the lus-
cious Elbertas shipped from Ardmore
the past summer. Plums, apricots, ap-
pies, pears, grapes and all kinds of
berries are decided success.

BIC CARNIVAL WEEK
OPENS OCTOBER 10

All arrangements are going forward
In first class shape for the big fes l.
val and carnival that will be given
under the joint auspices of the Ard
more Fire department and the Ara
more Band during the week of Oct.
10 to 5. The event Is only little over
week away now and all arrange
ments aIe going forward as good as
could be wished for.
The members of the fire department
and the band believe that in the great
Patterson Shows, they have secured
for this city by far the largest and
best carnival company that has ever
been brought together under one man
agement. This belief is based on the
many favorable reports that have Deen
received here IRON the points where
the company has played this season
In every city that the Patterson Shows
have been seen they have been said to
be by far the best that have every
appeared there. This last week and
next week they are furnishing the
amusements at the Oklahoma State
Fair and the newspapers of that city
are loud in their praise of the Patter-
son Shows. Many people from here
will attend the state fair and probably
will attend some of the Patterson
Shows while there.
The proceeds of the carnival will go
TO swell the treasury of the fire de-
partment and the band Possibly
few words at this time in regard to
these organizations will not be amiss.
The fire department is one of which
every resident of tnis city Is proud.
Every year they send representative
to the state and national fireman's
in order to get new ideas
and a general education in the most
improved methods of fire fighting.
During the last year more than $3.50
has been spent for this purpose and
the firemen have never asked either
the residents of this city or the city
itself for money to cover this expense.
1t has been borne by the members of
the department The firemens share
of the proceeds of the carnival WIN
go toward a fund that will be estab-
lished for this purpose and to a gen.
eral relief fund for sick or disabled
nremen. me DdnQ snare OF Ine
money will be used in the arousing of
interest Of the band. The Ardmore
band at the present time has full set
of instruments and uniforms and a
full membership. But there is lack
Of interest in the band and the bands
share of the proceeds of the carnival,
will be used in hiring an instructor .
and director and in getting things on
a financial basis that will insure this
city band that they will be proud
Of and which will be one of the best
advertisements that the city could
have. For the above reasons the .
members of the fire department and .
he members of the band ask the lib
eral support of the people of Ardmore /
md the surrounding country for their .
carnival during the week of Oct. 10 to
I5. The best of amusements will be /
ound there and there will be much

The cause is a most worthy one and
t is hoped that it will meet with the
LIBERAL response from all.

 NOT GUILTY" Former Policeman, Accus~ ed of Grand Larceny, is
 Acquitted.
M o R K WIDEN NC E.
Is Submitted But Magistrate Frazier Says That Luttrels Own State-
 ments Were Not COmyicting.

\. A. Hammond, former member of the Pine Bluff police department, who was arrested on a grand larceny charge after a pocketbook, alleged to have been lost by R. R. buttrel, man he had arrested on charge Of intoXication and after Hammond had been dismissed from police service by Chief of Police F. c. Stanley, was yesterday acquitted by Magistrate J. A. Frazier. A thorough investigation of the pocketbook mystery had been which lasted for nearly two days. Hammond was discharged. Magis- trate Frazier stated that upon Llltt- refs own testimony, in which he said he could not say positively that Ham, mond got the pocketbook, he could not hold Hammond for the grand jury. Upon the evidence submitted, Magistrate Frazier said a jury con- viction could not be had and he would not put the county to any additional expense in sending the hearing to the inquisitorial body.
 When the preliminary hearing was resumed Friday morning, Hammond who was on the stand at adjournment Thursday afternoon, was recalled and denied any knowledge of having ever seen the pOcketbook until after his overcoat, which he said was stolen from his room, Saturday, was return ed to him. He related the story oe a second robbery which occurred at his apartments on West Second ave- nue Thursday afternoon, while he was in attendance at court Attorney A. H. Powell, who represented him, brought out testimony to show that Hammond had never purchased 2 rocking chair from Reap and Craw- ford local furniture dealers, although a receipt for a chair, which was sup posed to have been purchased from that firm, was found in the pocket book after the book was taken from Hammond's overcoat Members of the furniture firm testified to this fact.

Much Interest Exhibited in Lectures of Bishop Keane
 \
 Y at Elks Theater.
IF CHRIST IS NOT GOD,
Not Only Is He Not Good, But Col Ossal ImpOster, Declares
 Prelate.

The third lecture of Bishop J. J. Keane was given last night at the Elks Theater to large crowd of in- terested spectators, who were appre- ciative of the masterly deliverance of the learned prelate. Much inter- est has been created in the subjects which the Bishp has discussed. A feature of the meetings is the as king of questions bearing on the various phases of religious teaching and church doctrine Tonight Bishop Keane will lecture on the subject Jesus Christ, The Savior. His sub ject last night was s'Is Jesus Christ God?'' The lectures are under the auspices of the Pine Bluff Council No. 1153, Knights of Columbus, and the admission is free. Bishop Keane will give instructions to St. Joseph's Catholic church every morning at o'clock. On Sunday the Bishop will preach the sermon at the principal 1ldoo GU IV. .oV q. III. LII lllS lCCIul U last night the prelate said:
 '.The line of thought which we have been pursuing leads us on to the in- carnation as the adequate and the final revelation of God. Man knows himself to be spiritual; he is con- scious of power of thought which cannot rest in the facts and pheno- mena of space, but instinctively seeks in the beyond the personal uncausei cause of all things. His life over- comes time and seeks for it's satis- faction unlimitable affection and re- ciprocal love. His boundless facul- ties, asperations and love can rest only in the infinite. Hence he has always and everywhere looked for and claimed communion with God. He moves in another world than that of sight and sound; the sense of di- vine nearness is then no invention of Christianity. It is found in every state of human development, in every form of human religion, rudely con- ceived by the savage, refinedly by the saint, it is persistent enough to be called a characteristic feature of hu- manity. The approximation, there fore, between God and man. as is implied in the incarnation, is not an unnatural thought, and since the de- sire for the communion with God lies
