THE NEGRO VOTE.

An editorial writer upon morning
contemporary published in a state
which was formerly democratic, but
which is now in the doubtful col
umn saws that the state in question
may be made safely republican by the
exercise of the sight kind of general
ship in marshaling and "solidifying
the negro vote. This writer further
states that there are 10000 negro
votes in his state and that they can
all be placed in therepublicancolumn
eff properly generaled This is the
conservative prediction of all those
who are informed as to the negros
past and present political alignment
After going on to considerable
length and eXpatiatng upon the deep
debt of gratitude which the negro
owes the republican party the nimble
brain of the writer gives birth to the
following. "As a citizen and voter
of this state for the past ten years,
il has been my observation that there
were but few active privates in our
vast army OF negro voters, every fell
low wearing a shoulder strap of some
description and significance. In fact
in communities where there are an
appreciable number of negro votes
lack of harmony, as a result OF po-
ltical preferment and rivalry has
been constant handicap to both local
and state organizations in their ef-
forts for party success"
One poor, little lonesome state with
only $1,000 negro voters in it and
the party which claims to represent
the intelligence of the western ma
tiors can not keep them true to that
party's organization because every
black imp of them wants to hold of
flee. Petted and spoiled and slapped
on the back and called brother. ths
$4,000 negroes of that particular state
arc on the verge of disrupting the
party because there does not seem TO
be $4,000 pieces of cat fish to 90
around.
The pleasurable sensations of the
successful republican aspirant for Of
flee in that particular state must be
of the most voluptuous kind when he
can retire to his repose the nigh
after election and say, Through grace
of $1,000 negro votes J am elected.
How the heart of one who belongs
TO the G. O. p. in that state, where,
eliminating the negro vote, democ-
racy sits in the saddle by some forty
thousand majority must swell and
burn with delight when he can think

Your child isn't naturally cross,

feet of bowels clogged with foul

hours all the clogged up waste, sour

matter will gently move on and out

obligated themselves to pay him ono
hundred thousand dollars to build us
a road, and yelled themselves hoarse
TO help him. We have asked no bo
nus from Ardmpre. ii is true We did
not 90 TO our task with brass band
accompaniment nor indulge in hot
air mass meeting. We took our coats
off and emptied our pockets of what
| they contained and commenced doing
something and the Ardmore Western
Interurban railway is going to be
built And in my judgment, we are
entitled to the earnest support and
assistance Of Ardmore before they
try something that will divert atten-
tion from the success of this project.
One thing at a time will accomplish
greater things than a multiplicity OF
projects and division of attention
and work.
Only last week, two gentlemen
from Love county who were here in
quiring about our proposed line, were
informed by our citizens that there
was nothing but hot air. to il: that
the fellows behind the scheme could
not build anything. This message
was taken to their homes and preiu
diced many OF that community who
were before enthusiastic in their en-
couragement and help. This report, it
is true, was very easily overcome puc
why should our work be retarded and
made harder by this method? Our pro-
posed line will reach our greatest
dormant resources, bring more tnan
double the trade territory to Ardmore
that she now enjoys, extending as far
west as Cornish and the Red River
country, with a scope of north Texas
TO the south. There is no power in
Ardmore that can defeat the cOnsrtuc-
tion CT this road; but Ardmore's sup
port aud assistance will make the
work more pleasant 1t may not be
improper to state in this connection
that if ArdmOre does not want this
line, We can very easily change the
route and make Berwyn the northern
terminus and some point south the
southern terminus Such line could
be more cheaply constructed and the
revenue to the road not materially
lessened
want to suggest, in closing that
instead of hanging up a purse for
some stranger to come in ard pull
down by building a road to take our
people and products away from us,
rather than bring them 10 us, as sug-
gested by the author of the article
. in Sundays paper that if the peo-
pie of Ardmore would get behind the
lnterurban proposition, and give what
they can to help that project. they
will then be in better position to get
"cross country facilities, and the In
terurban will protect Ardmore's inter
ests and keep hre prestige that a
road to the west might destroy with
out it. With the assistance of Ard
more people the lnterurban will be
hers; without it it will be some 9th
ers. Think it over.

Plant Secret.

An old and experienced florist
taught me many valuable and useful
things in regard to plants. One of his
tricks was that whenever he trans
planted any flower or plant he always
sifted steel filings into the new soil
before he put in the plant. He ex-
planned to me that the steel filings
rusted when the soil was watered and
that the rust made the plants grow
rapidly. In the long time that l was
associated with him never knew his
method of treatment to fail.

How Taste Is Cultivated.

People who live in climates where
malaria abounds, frequently have to
tako so much quinine that they get to
love the taste Of it, and to take 1t
daily, even when they do not need It.,
Just because It tastes good to them.
And yet quinine is one of the bitter

did they move away from the malaria
district for a few years, would soon
get to detest the taste of it.

That Railroad to the West.

Editor Ardmoreite:
| have been interested in reading
an article from the pen or one OF
our most prominent citizens appear
| ing in your issue of Sunday, the 10th
inst. The article refers to the build
| ing OF line of railroad west of this
city to connect with or cross the
Rock Island railroad. In many things
that the author OF the article men
tions |, in common with all enter
prisng citizens Of the city, must most
heartily concur. All right minded
citizens should he and are interested
in the Development growth and i'm
portance of the city and aIIacent
country; there should be no differ
c:.Ce in this; the means to obtain the
result sought may in some instances
be viewed from different angles, ac-
Cording to the viewpoint of the iudi-
Yidual.
In the minds of many, a line of rail
way run in the form of loop would
best serve the necessities of this
city and the surrounding country.
This means of transportation would
serve the purposes of all concerned,
and instead of opening an avenue or
escape for our people and our prod
ucts it would bring everything ito
Ardmore ad radiate rom here. This,
in the minds of many, viii help us
more than the other method.
Acting upon this theory, with moth.
ing but the greatest benefit to Ard
more and Carter county in view, my
self and associates started out to ac-
complish this end. We have char
tered the Ardmore-Wcstern mterur
ban Railway Company and are how
actively engaged in the preliminary
work of construction. We have a
corps of engineers in the field locat-
ing and establishing the grade of our
road We are building this line oi
road for the very purpose that the
author Of the article referred to de-
sizes We want to build up Ardmore
and the surrounding country; we
want to bring things to Ardmore--
not take them away; We want 10 con-
meet rAdmore with territory that IS
not now accessible to her; we want to
extend her trade limit and make A
Greater Ardmore" sure enough.
In this desire We expected to be
met with the hearty support and Ell
dorsement of every citizen of this
city. 70 our surprise, however, we
have met. with a few isolated in
stances excepted, the enthusiastic
kick OF the good people Of Ardmore.
True. many were kind enough to en-
courage us and wish us well. But,
outside of the courtesy extended us
by your paper and the Statesman,
knocks-not cheers, has been our
portion.
1t is said we have no money to build
a road with. Neither did Jake Ha-
mon and associates have the money
to build a road with; yet this people
received them with open arms and

Convict Returned Lost Rings.

During a visit she paid to the prison
in Marquette, Mich, the other day, a
wealthy Cincinnati woman lost two
valuable diamond rings An honest
life prisoner in the meantime found
the jewels in the prison yard. They
were in a chamois bag and probably
had been kicked about unconsciously
by other convicts. The jewels were
promptly returned to the owner.
