Address.

(By D. NJ. Haley. Major General OF
the United Confederate Veterans of
the State of Oklahoma, at the Re
union of Veterans at Ardmore.)
Mr. Chairman and Comrades;
We are assembled again here today
for our annual reunion: to renew
those pleasant relations that have so
long existed between us and to foster
and perpetuate that fraternal feeling
that was born on the battlefelds of
Dixie
l always look forward to these meet
ings with mingled feelings of joy and
sorrow. It fills my heart with Joy to
know that it is a gathering of old
comrades. whose friendships are as
strong as family ties: whose reminis-
cences of the late unpleasantness we
delight to hear told over and over
again and whose familiar faces we
look for from the end of one meeting
to the beginning of another These
are the joys that We experience at our
annual reunions.
On the other hand. each new year
claims its full quota of the grizzled
veterans and We fail to see the smil.

Each succeeding reunion our numbers
are appreciably smaller and old Faith

on our ever thinning ranks. This aw-
full falling off becomes painfully more
apparent each time We come together
The youngest of us are now old and
the vast majority of those who were
of mature age at the time of our dis

remark of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr in
his cell today.
Uneasness of nervousness was not
apparent in his counteEance.
The court house and pastoral va
cant are clothed in peaceful quietness
today while counsel for both sides are
knitting together the relevancy of the
various testimony of days past into
argument upon which Beattie's life
will depend.
The defense will make its strongest
plea on the danger of circumstantial
evidence.
It was shortly after o'clock last

announced that they had finished the
introduction of evidence Judge Wat

prosecution has sought to prove that
Beulah Binford was the motive for
the murder. they feared to place her
on the stand. The prosecution feared
that the girl would stick by her former
companion and that no testimony
damaging to the defense could be Sc

The belief that the Binford girl will

COUNTY WE|CHER
FILES SUIT
ALLEGES CONSPIRACY HAS BEEN
FRAMED AGAINST HIM TO HIS
DETRIMENT.

Robert NJ. Dillard has, through his
attorneys, Champion & Champion,
filed suit against Westheimer &
Daube, Goodwin & Nichols, Colley K
Nichols and Love & Thurmond for the
sum of $4,000, which he alleges they
will damage him by a conspiracy they
have formed to prevent the cotton
growers of this section having their
cotton weighed on his scales. He also
asks for a restraining order to pre-
vent them debating to the cotton
growers where their cotton shall be
weighed. billiard is the county weigh
er and was elected at the last primary
election, and alleges in his petition
that the only compensation he re-
ceives for his duties as such weigher
is the sum of ten cents that he col
lects for each bale of cotton weighed,
and that if the defendants are not re-
strained from interfering with the cot
ton growers in the matter of where
the cotton shall be weighed that he
will not realize anything from the Of
fee. He alleges in the petition that
the farmers of this section have been
notified by the defendants that they
would not purchase their cotton if it
was weighed by the plaintiff and that
in number of cases where the cotton
had been contracted for the defend
ants refused to accept it after they
learned that it was to be weighed by
the plaintiff, and destroyed the tick
cts that they had given the owners Of
the cotton. He alleges that the action
of the defendants will be the means
of causing the farmers of this section
to carry the cotton to other markets,
and that he will be deprived of the
financial benefits of his office and for
the reasons stated asks for judgment
in the sum of $4,000, and that the de-
PENDANTS be restrained from interfer-
ing in any manner with the cotton
producers of this section.

It is always with fear and trem-
bling that one strikes the note of
warning against the dangers that
menace through the family pet; but
now and then it has to be done, and
all the more because of the fact that
the dearer the pet the greater the
menace says an article in the Doctors
Corner in The Youths Companion. 1t
is hard to prove to people who adore
their cats that this lovable, hugable,
kissable animal can be, and often is,
a carrier of the worst kinds of dis
ease germs. They say, why our
cat is the daintiest, cleanest thing in
the world. She washes herself all
the time"-=and it is quite true, she
does, only unfortunately she has no
knowledge of the germ theory, and
those fastidious passes of hers over
the surface of her fur, although very
satisfying to her own sense Of clean
illness, have no effect whatever on the
microbes she may be unconsciously
harboring.
The germs of nearly all the epidem-
ic and local diseases flourish upon
the family cat, although the animal
itself may not be subject In some
cases it can both spread the disease
and have it itself -diphtheria is a
case in point. The thick fur, SO tempt
ing to stroke, can hold the germs of
typhoid fever, scarlet fever, measles,
whooping cough or smallpox. Besides
these and many others, ringworm and
tapeworm can be spread in this way,
as well as other forms of skin dis
orders.
1t is dreadful to reflect how often
a convalescing child is given the fam
lily cat to keep it company in its exile
from its playmates, and then, when
the animal is turned loose in the
house without being boiled first peo
pie are quite astonished that the in
fluenza should spread through the en-
tire family-after all their care.

A mischief maker in the family can
