WEEKS DOINGS IN
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
General Appropriation Bit
Has Already Passed.
TWO MILLION MARK
is ALMOST REACHED

The Marriage License Law Which Has
Come up at Every Session of the
Legislature for the Past Few Years
has been Passed at Last-Bill In
troduced by Rep. Nicholson.
Columbia, Feb. 6.-(SpeciaD Dur
ing the past week the general assem-
bly, of 1911-12 has accomplished two
things that assure OF il remembrance
for some years to come. 1t has pass
ed the general appropriation bill earli-
er in the session than was the case
was reported eight days earlier than
ever beforehand il has passed a mar
riage license law. 1t was busy week,
filled with much constructive legisla-
see the remaining general bills that
have found favor adopted and many
minor local or 70. other reasons un-
contested measures enacted into law.
Then Will arise the question, Why
not adjourn? If the legislature sits
for a fortnight longer-this week and
the neXt-it will round out he usual
forty days. 1t now seems likely that
final adjournment will be taken Sat
urday night, Feb. II, making the ses-
sion approximately 80 days.
Lowndes Browning of Union, chair
man of the house committee on ways
and means, was the lion of the past
week Great credit is due him for the
mastery way in which he handled his
big assignment. 1t is significant that
the appropriation bill went through in
tact, except for such amendments as
he himself offered.
Twice in the house last week eX-
citement was promised, over referenc-
es by Or, Turnbull or Aiken to State
Game Warden James Henry Rice, ,ir.
and by Citizen Josh Ashley of Ander-
son of Rr. John Porter Hollis of York,
secretary of the State Child Labor
committee; but the incidents blew ov-
er without furnishing much copy
for the reporters. Dr. Turnbull Ques-
toned the accuracy of statements in
MIR Rices report and Mr Asheley in
timated that Dr Hollis, a former mem

The speech OF Col. Stump Ashby

GOOD RAINS FALL
IN CARTER COUNTY
MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN IN
LAND TOWNS HAD RAINFALL
LAST NIGHT.

The Pioneer Telephone company re-
ports that the towns of Lone Grove,
Keller, Alice Waurika. Orr, Grady
and Hewitt all had good rains last
night. No rain fell at Sulphur, Ber-
wyn. Dougherty, Davis and Madill.
The rain visited only section of the
country but the portions visited re-
port a very fair rain which will be of
great benefit to all crops. The cotton
plant IS said to be still in a fine CON
dition in this immediate section but
there are portions of Jefferson coun-
ty where the plant is badly damaged
If not entirely ruined The mercury
went to 1O2 yesterday. That is not
cool by any means but it is six de
grees lower than the two days pre-
ceding and a cool breeze blew all day
and last night was very pleasant
one.
Indications are good today for more
rain and it is believed that the drouth
is sufficiently broken to insure a crop
Of June corn. milo maize, kaffir corn
and other forage crops sufficient to
make a supply of feed sufficient for
the use of the county.
One feature of the drouth that is
discouraging is the fact that many
people are selling their hogs for a
very small sum and are eXhausting
their stock hogs which will make
porkers scarce for another year. One
farmer gave away dozen pigs be-
cause he had no feed TO sustain them.

HELP TO BUILD
THE '. NJ {. A.

The committee on building of the
Y. NJ. c. A. are about the hardest
working bunch of individuals in the
city at present, and they have a job
on their hands, too, believe me. When
they started out to erect the new audi
torium and amusement hall it was
figured that the building could be
erected for about $4,000, but when
the plans were scrutinized it was
found that at least one thousand more
would be necessary to carry out the
plans. Now this money has to be
raised by some means and as the
banks are all retrenching preparatory
to moving the fall crops, private in
dividuals have about all loaned that
they care to handle, and loan compa-
nies say they will not handle anything
be devised to get this money and be-
gin work
1t is hoped to have the building
ready by the time cold weather sets
in so that there will be place for
the boys and young men to congregate
and spend the evening.
The present quarters are being fit
ted and made to do service as well
as possible until the building pror.r
is done but they are entirely inede-
quate for the purpose. 1t weuld
seem that here is a chance for some
publicspirited citizen of means to
step in and fill this breach, surely it
would be appreciated and the young
men of this city would install his pic
ture in Ardmore's hall of fame.

COL. A, P WATSON
HERE LAST NIGHT
EN- ROUTE TO TISHOMlNGO
WHERE HE WILL INVESTIGATE
ICE SITUATION.

Col. \ r. Watson, member of the
corporation commission was in the
city last night en- route to Tishomingo
where he is to investigate the ice
situation Of that city.
Numerous complaints have been
received by the corporation commits
sioners from citizens OF Tishomingo.
complaining that they We're being
charged too much for ice, and CON
siderably more than other towns of
like size were paying. The price
charged for ice in Tishomingo at
present is 75 cents per hundred,
which the citizens claim is unfair and
unwarranted.
The ice plant is owned by gen
tleman from Parsons, Kansas, and is
operated by water power. For this
reason complaint is made that the
cost of ice should be greatly reduced.
as the cost of production is much
smaller than where steam is used for
power.
Coz. Watson stated last night that
if this charge was warranted it could
only arise from one cause and that
would be from limited sales, however
the situation will be investigated and
the citizens of Tishomingo given re.
lief if possible.

E.B. LUKE SAYS mot GUILTY."

For the past few days We have had
a number Of children calling at our
store thinking this was the place
where the puzzle contest was being
conducted and | wish to say that we
deny the charge and do not want any
OF our friends to get the idea that we
are mixed up in deal of this kind.
For the benefit of those who are
not next to this puzzle game, | ask
YOU to read the following which /
clipped from the Piano, Organ & Mus
ical-Workers Official Journal:
Many piano firms have brought
hundreds of people to their place Of
business with hard earned cash in
theri pockets through the fascination
that attaches to receive something
for nothing.
1T seems that many people can not
see any further into a grindstone than
the army dupes who have invested
their savings in wildcat stock and
other get-rich quick schemes promot'
ed by crooks the Federal Government
is now putting in prison.
For sometime past number of
piano firms in this country have
offered. through their ads, from $1,000
to $4,000 for working out a si'nrle
puzzle that any ten-year-old child
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1911-07-07

could work out in five minutes times.
They say that the sum due you for
giving a correct answer shall be ap-
piled on the piano you purchase, but
YOU may be sure that when you pur-
chase a piano through one of these
firms that you have paid a good
round price for very cheap piano
and that you have also paid for the
ad that brought you there. 1t is easy
you work out the puzzle, give the
correct answer and rush to the place
in order to be one of the first to give
the correct answer as the sum you
get for nothing is based upon the fact
whether your answer is first or tenth.
You want to buy piano and you are
anxious to hear the judge say that
$4,000 or 10000 is your reward for
being the second or third to give the
correct answer and you will be given
credit for that amount on any piano
you purchase. Who is the sucker?
Some of our readers can tell but they
prefer not to. In every community
there is a sucker element that should
be protected by law, and the sooner
this damnable method of swindlng
the people is legislated to death the
better it will be for everybody con
