RAILROAD RUMORS
AGAIN HEARD
LAWTON MAN TO MEET PEOPLE
OF CITY AND DISCUSS PRO-
POSED LINES.

Secretary Mccoy received a tele-
gram today from r. L. Robertson OF
Lawton in which Mr.. Robertson stat
ed he would be here Thursday night
to meet the people of Ardmore. Mr..
Robertson is a citizen of Lawton who
has become interested in the con-
struction of line of railway from
Ardmore to Lawton. He has been In
the east for sometime where he has
placed the proposition before buyers
Of railroad bonds and he received en-
couragement sufficient to induce him
to come back home and get busy
with the promotion of the road. This
line hah been surveyed through OIL
City, Duncan and on to Lawton. The
surveyors who did the work followed
the divide between the Red and
Washita rivers and the survey will
probably not be changed. The Toute
is comparatively an easy one upon
which to build, it traverses a magnif-
icent section of country and will have
upon it some of the livest towns in
the state. Ardmore is interested In
this road more than in any other.

COTTON MILL IS
NOW A POSSIBILITY
BUNCH OF "llVE WIRES" HOLD
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING AT
COURT HOUSE LAST NIGHT.

Cotton mill was the talk at the
mass meeting held last night in
the district court room. 1t was not
the largest town building meeting
held this year, but it was the best
meeting. There was more capital
represented at this meeting, there
was more genuine enthusiasm DEM
onstrated and there was in evidence
more determination to do something
than at any other meeting of the
year.
NJ. L. Alexander, at whose in
stance the meeting was called, act
ed as chairman. He stated that 13O
acres of land adjoining the city
would be given absolutely free for
the purpose of promoting a cotton
mill in Ardmore. He said the prop
erty could be cut into lots and
sold for a sum sufficient to build
the mill; that he was in touch
with men who could successfully
operate a mill here. The chairman
then introduced II. w. Garbutt
Mr.. Garbutt told of his work in
building mill in Fitzgerald, Ga.
Some of the time the mill paid
and other times it lost money. He
pointed out the pitfalls for the nov
ice in mill building. His company
knew nothing of the cotton mill
business, none of them had even so
much as seen a mill, their engineer
recommended vast lot of machin-
cry that could not be used, they
began with 100000 which was not
enough to build the mill, and they
had not one dollar as operating
capital Mr.. Garbutt said he believ-
ed that a mill would pay here. If
it is properly organized properly
built, properly equipped, properly
managed and has capital to lay
in its stock of cotton. He said mills
did pay good dividends when they
were properly managed. In compar-
ing this country with Georgia where
his mill is located, he said fuel
was cheaper here, labor was high
er, freight rates were saved, and
he believed that a mill could be
made to pay good dividend here
AS an evidence of the interest
the people felt, there were scores
of people on the floor at once to
fire questions at the speaker when
he had finished his talk.
1t was the sense of the meeting
that the proposition of the land own
ers be accepted and the property
be placed on the market at once.
Mr.. Welty, prince of good fellows,
and the livest promoter in the
state, made a speech in which he
enthused the crowd on the matter
of building the mill G. R. Graul
also talked concerning the knitting
mill business, and said he was in
Ardmore to stay until he built his
knitting mill.
The work of building the cotton
mill will be followed up with other
efforts along the same line until
the company is organized and the
lots are placed on the market.
