Saturday evening as the west
bound passenger was coming in to
Volga Engineer Thompson saw a
little child standing on the track a
short distance in front of the engine.
He Immediately applied the emer-
gency brakes and reversed the en-
CINE and was fortunately able to stop
the train about Is or 20 feet from
the child. The little fellow was re-
moved from the track. but before
the train could pass him he attempt
ed to get back on the track again
and the train crew found it necessary
to bring him to the station in order
to prevent him from getting under
the train. Engineer Thompson and
his fireman and Conductor O'Brien
and his crew were very much I'M
nerved by the occurance and hope
that it will be a long time before
they have another such experience.
The child is a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Elders, who moved here from Iowa
a short time ago and live on the
Dettmer farm, recently vacated by
the Klomparens.

GOOD ROADS FOR
MURRAY COUNTY
WORK is GOING ON ALL OVER
THE COUNTY AND CLAIM IT
WILL EXCEL OTHER COUNTIES.

Davis, Okla, Sept 5.-An organiza-
ton of Murray county good roads was
effected here today which was largely
attended and proved to be one of the
most enthusiastic meetings ever held
in Davis. Representatives from every
township were present and each chair
man selected promised to organize his
township into a working unit.
Hon. d. F. Ellis, chairman of the
board of county commissioners, who
is an enthusiastic good roads advo-
cate, stated today that Murray county
hoped to excel all other counties in
the state for good roads. The chair
man of Carter county commissioners.
Robert +. Scivslly, is working with
chairman Ellis with IA view to carry
ing through plan by which the in
terstate postal highway may be con
structed across their respective coHa-
ties without further delay.
SLEEPY old Davis as this place has
long been called, is awakening to her
opportunities and a veritable boom
is on. Mining men from every section
of the country are coming daily and
development in this field is progress
ing rapidly. The Arbuckle Mining IIX-
change and the business men of Da-
Wis are trying to discourage scram-
BILE, preferring rather to continue
along conservative lines and steady
but rapid growth.

TEXAS NEGROES
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
BLACKS OF BRYAN COUNTY DIS
sATlSFIED-GEN EXODUS
TO LIBERIA MAY RESULT,

Denison. Texas, Sept. THE pres
ent week very probably is going to
witness the general exodus of the
greater iart OF the negro population
OF the southern part OF Bryan county
and not lew of the blacks have
,noSou Liberia as the promised land.
The present race troubles in this
part of Oklahoma, following as they
have upon the numerous attempts and
assaults on white women and men ~
negroes, including the burning Of one
negro at Durant several weeks ago,
has aroused the entire population of
the Oklahoma county and negroes are
coming into Denison daily, some with
the intention of never returning to
Oklahoma and others seeking advice
and protection.
Many Are Dissatisfied.
Dovey Costner, a negro renter on
the Colbert farm, near the Colbert
Ferry. four miles north of Denison ol
Red river, was in Denison TUESDAY
and sought financial assistance in or
ganizing a movement to send num-
her of negro families to Liberia. He
stated that there We're nearly fifty
families along Red river north Of Den
ison who We're ready and anxious 10
leave for that country. They are will
ing to dispose of all their cattle,
horses, crops and even their lane
Costner SAYS that there are about
fifty families who either own the,r
farms or rent lands, obey the laws
and live respectfully in his neishbor-
hood. Some have resided here FOR
more than ten years and have The con.
fidence and respect of all their whit,
neighbors. Recently these negroes
have been subjected TO many "mbar-
rassin" assertions by white mon, thcir
homes have been entered dining The
night and searched for the alleged as
s,ulters OF the wives Of white men,
that they are now afraid 20 venture
on the public roads and into the small
towns nearby, lest they he accused of
some fierdlsh crime and lynchDl. Cost
ner, who has more than the average
education for a negro farmer, said he
and his two brothers were cultivatiuS
about one hundred and ffiy acres e
corn and cotton and expected to real
ize considerable money off their crops
this year, but are now ready TO load
up their household goods and leave
their crops, it not being considered
safe for them to remain if the present
condition continues to prevail.
Texas Negroes Blamed.
Costner is of the belief that the
lawless negro element which has Gre
ated the present strained relation be
tween whites and blacks is due large
ly to the invasion of Bryan county
by negroes from north Texas and
southern Oklahoma towns. He says
that to his knowledge many are of
The low vagrant element which in
fest low negro restaurants, pool halls
and joints in prohibition districts.
If the present race troubles con
tinue in Bryan county it is not i'm
probable that the governor of Okla
homa will be asked to place the coun-
ty under martial law, as the present
state of affairs is very unsatisfactory.
Business is suffering and hundreds of
acres Of cotton is unpicked, there be
ing "A scarcity of white labor. The
negroes cannot be induced to work in
the fields of that county in many
places.

WOULD GUT DOWN
SCHOOL BOARDS
Prof. French, Of N. A. c., Explains
Proposed Bill and Deplores Incom-
potency of Some Officials.

That there are many men In charge
OF school affairs In Michigan who can
not read or write, and that the law
prohibiting members OF school boards
and city officials from entering into
contracts with the city, whereby they
VIII profit, Is being violated In every
city In the state. were two startling
statements made by Prof. w. r.
French, Of the Michigan Agricultural
college, In an address on Needed
school legislation" In the Y. NJ. G. A.
auditorium, Thursday evening, follow.
OF the Detroit Municipal league. There
were present at the lecture many club
women interested In school aaffirs.
Prof. French is the author OF the so
called superintendent bill, which has
been remodeled by Prof A. 8. Whit
ney. of Ann Arbor, and which will DE
introduced In the legislature in the
fear future. II provides for the conf
mission form of school government in
all the cities OF the state. In cities
OF $4,000 population or over, the
school board, or commission, Is TO con.
sist of seven members and In smaller
cities OF Ave members. In each case
the members are To be elected at large.
No one but qualified voter can be a
candidate. Personally. Prof. French IL
In favor Of making II necessary for
candidates to be high school gradu:
ates. Discussing the evils OF the pres
ent system, he said:
"A large board Of education and the
efficiency of it's operations is serious
ly handicapped. Ward interests fire.
quently rise above city interests under
the present system. and such condl
ton Is always fatal to good govern
ment. The insecurity OF the superin-
tendent is a great hindrance TO the Ell
cient management OF the schools.
The commission form Of school gov
eminent would result in quick action;
all cities in the state would have uni
form laws; ward domination would be-
removed; reasonable tax limit would
be established, and the power OF re.
moval and recall would rest In safe
hands.
Prof French declared that, under
the present system, the state wastes
81, 0OO. 900 year through mismanage.
ment of the school funds.
