Meant Their Work to Last.

Some of the early stones of Welsh
slate in New England burial grounds
show very fine carving. evidently the
product of English rather than
Colonial workmen. The enduring
quality Of these memorials Is evident
on comparison between them and
other stones put up at a much later
date. In one of the old yards at
Billerica, Mass, many of the stones Of
mid-eighteenth century dates are
badly scaled and partially illegible,
while the Oldest stone in the yard,
dated 1854, shows no serious effect
of weather and others almost as old
are equally plain; practically un-
changed after two centuries of expo

INTRODUCING CASES
TO JUDGE CAMPBELL
FEDERAL COURT NEXT WEEK IN
ARDMORE TO DECIDE LIQUOR
PROBLEMS.

Muskogee, Okla, Oct. 1.-The fed
eral congress when it passed the liq-
uor introducing statute which ap-
plies to eastern Oklahoma did not
anticipate the invention of the au-
tomobile or the airship, and as re-
suit the United States district attor-
ney and Judge Campbell are called
upon to solve an intricate legal
problem which has been presented
in the prosecution of the introduc-
ing cases which are to come up for
trial next week in Ardmore.
The federal statute against intro
ducing specifically mentions that a
person who uses horses, wagons,
carriages, sleds, mules, trains, etc,
in the transporting of liquor into
eastern Oklahoma are guilty of in
PRODUCING. 1t Is recognized princi-
pie of law that when a statute spe-
cities anything in particular, then
only the articles specified can be
libeled or seized and criminal pros
ecutions can be made only In ac-
cordance with the actual working Of
the law. 1t appears that in num-
her of the introducing cases FROM
northern Oklahoma Automobiles
were used in transporting the liquor
and in every case where such a
conveyance was used Attorney w.

the defendants, has demdrrei TO

which Mr.. Gregg con-

liquor was billed from Joplin, No,
to Stroud, Okla, the last named
place being in western Oklahoma
The liquor was seized in transit and
it is claimed that this could not be

ARDM0RE AND
WESTERN SURVEY
ENGINEERS WILL ENTER WOOD
FORD TODAY-IN OIL CITY BY
THE TENTH OF MONTH.

Reports from the field say that
the surveying corps of the Ardmore
& Western railway company were
within two miles Of the town OF
Woodford yesterday afternoon and
that the survey was expected to
enter the town today. President
Owens, Secretary White and General
Attorney Kendrick when seen in the
offices of the company by an Ard
moreite reporter this morning said
that they intended letting the con-
tract from Ardmore to Oil City as
soon after the profiles had been
completed as possible. Several de-
tails will have to be attended to
before this is done, but it is thought
that construction IVORY will be un-
der way within thirty or forty days.
These gentlemen stated further that
they were in correspondence with
several general contractors and that
they had been advised by mail that
one of them, Mr.. Winters of the
Winters Construction Company Of
Joplin, Mo-, expected to be in this
city on or about the tenth of the
current month to look over the pro-
posed line and the profiles and to
make a bid upon the grading work
Jack Winters is one of the heaviest
general railway contractors in the
middle west. He was one Of the
contractors who helped to build the
system of electric railroads in and
around Joplin, Carthage, Webb City
and Gainesville, Missouri, and Pitts
burg, Kansas.
There seems to be little doubt
now in the minds of anyone that
this road will be built and that 1t
will be built at once. The men be-
hind it are all home men and are
known as hustling men of business
who never tangle up with n bad
and who usually get what
they go after. We venture the pre-
diction that trains will be in oper-
alton over the Ardmore & Western,
between this city and Oil City be-
fore many more months. The ben
eft that will accrue to this city as
we'll as to the entire western por-
ton CT Carter county, by the build
ing of the line are almost incalcula-

The farmer has the best Of it all
around. He is Independent as an ex.
press company. He doesn't have to
write soulful obituary over some
peakheaded fellow that keeps on dis
play an exhibit of cut plug profanity
that would make the efforts Of

have to go into raptures over the
beauty Of an open face bride with
cost of countenance that would blow
out the gas.
The farmer isn't required to lie un-
til his back teeth fall out about the
sterling\manhood Of a groom with
ears like a cauliflower plant and the
brain power of yearling shoat. He
doesn't have TO run a contest for the
